Chapter 271: Rarely Matched in the World [Subscription Request]

Thunder from the sky continued to strike.

To be precise, after appointing generals time and time again, the accumulated military luck of the Dianjiangtai reached a critical point and it was actively attracting thunder.

After Cao Cao received the entry hint, a thick purple halo appeared under his feet, blocking out the thunder and lightning on the stage.

The location where the thunder is drawn from the platform is the four walls of the base.

The imprints of the three mountains and five peaks appeared on the four walls, absorbing lightning.

The platform continued to transform under the impact of lightning, the rust color faded away, and it became like a golden platform.

[Send your own luck and practice to the command platform]

Cao Cao did as he was told.

Then, a bronze tiger head slowly separated from the side of the platform!

That was a tiger military seal.

The flanks of the platform were as turbulent as water. After the tiger talisman was separated, they came together as before.

Cao Cao came down from the stage and took the tiger talisman in his hand.

This is a handsome talisman, half the length of a palm.

There are words on the head of the tiger talisman: King of Chu, Han!

Han Xin was first the King of Qi, then the King of Chu. He was then deposed by Emperor Gaozu of Han and demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin.

This was the military token he used when he was the King of Chu.

After Liu Bang took it back, he sealed it in this general's platform, which made the beginning and the end consistent.

He used the platform to appoint Han Xin as a general, and also used it to take away his power and seal the military command.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of military affairs knows that Han Xin is one of the most powerful military commanders in ancient and modern times.

Throughout the long river of history, there are at most three or four people who can match him, and only one or two people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

He is a monument to military strategists...This is the military token of a military saint.

Cao Cao rubbed the military token with his hand.

At the foot of the city wall, the soldiers followed their respective generals and prepared to withdraw to the camp.

Before returning to the camp, there was a military parade and a display of combined attack and advance and retreat.

Each team will take turns passing under the city wall.

In the second half of gathering troops and appointing generals, Cao Cao's main task was to be a mascot.

He was in charge of waving his hands and saying, "All troops, march bravely!" to each team as they approached the city.

Then the generals took the lead and responded: "Let's go bravely and meet the King of Wei!"

The leader and his followers entertained each other.

On the contrary, the common people loved to watch this part the most. The Cao army's advance and retreat and attack were much more interesting to watch than just standing there and listening to the order.

Cao Cao was standing on the top of the city wall. With nothing to do, he studied Han Xin's military token in his hand.

When he inhaled and exhaled the energy of the dragon of luck, he also borrowed a force from the army below and merged it into the military talisman in his hand.

There were patterns carved on the military token, with small, ancient characters emerging:
"The military strategist defends the country with justice and deploys troops with surprise. He plans first and then fights. He takes the situation into consideration and uses both yin and yang to use his skills."

"Fight with your back to the river, set up ambushes on all sides, sneak through Chencang, win every battle, capture every attack, divide your troops and use them accordingly, the more troops you have, the better."

When Cao Cao heard the voice, he was slightly cheered up.

Han Xin left behind three chapters, namely, The Book of Military Strategy and The Divine Art of War, which have been passed down to the present day.

But during the period when Empress Lü was in power, its circulation was strictly prohibited and it gradually lost its way.

This military talisman contains exquisite contents, at least part of Han Xin's military book, which are stored in it through the engraving of divine thoughts.

Only by using military force to integrate the front line can it be opened.

Among them are the words "divide the troops, the more the better", which may contain Han Xin's experience and command methods in fighting large troops.

This is an irreplaceable treasure for military strategists.

It is especially valuable to Cao Cao, who has the ability of insight.

Han Xin’s experience in large-scale troop combat...Cao Cao couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

By the afternoon of Shen time, the troops had gathered and the generals were sealed, and the battle was completely over.

After the reviewing platform was taken away, all troops returned to their camps.

The common people and nobles who came to watch the fun dispersed one after another.

Cao Cao returned to the mansion surrounded by the crowd.

The military generals settled their troops outside the city, and the civil officials followed them back.

Several people in the core circle gathered in the study, and their emotions were quite high.

Today, generals are appointed and officials are given positions, and everyone gets promoted.

After several years of hard work, I finally got some rewards in the form of promotion and salary increase.

Everyone was filled with joy.

After a while, everyone took their leave and went back to their respective duties.

"Wenruo, don't leave yet. We have something to discuss." Cao Cao called out to Xun Yu.

Apart from Xun Yu, the only person left in the study was Jia Xu. At Cao Cao's signal, he took out a round-bellied wooden pot and handed it to Xun Yu.

"I made a urinal for you. Take it home and try it out. It's not good for your health to hold it in all the time."

Xun Yu suddenly felt that his manners had been lost, but his eyes fell on the pot, and after hesitating for a moment, he took it.

"What else does the King of Wei want?"

Of course, Xun Yu was kept here for more than just a urinal.

"The time has come for the Emperor to send him away."

Cao Cao: "The emperor himself doesn't want to stay with us anymore. He thinks he will be better off outside and can accomplish great things. So let him go."

Xun Yu was silent for a while: "Okay..."

In fact, there was no need to discuss these things with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was afraid that he might have some grudges, so he gave him a heads up in advance. Xun Yu knew this very well:

"Send away the emperor, and then...become king!"

Today, Caoying has become a huge power group with millions of people, soldiers, and officials who all follow Cao Cao for a living.

This force is pushing forward and is unstoppable.

Not even Cao Cao could stop it.

Now that Cao's camp has a stronger foundation, the time is right for him to become a king rather than an emperor.

Once the emperor is sent away, Cao Cao will become king.

"Then do as the king wishes. I'll take my leave now. I haven't finished today's work and I feel heavy in my heart." Xun Yu said.

His words, calling Cao Cao "king", were a response to Cao Cao's title of king.

It's a public statement.

Cao Cao smiled, and Xun Yu left with the urinal.

Cao Cao turned to Jia Xu and handed him a scroll of bamboo slips.

Why wasn't Jia Xu given an official title and appointed as a general before?
Firstly, he himself disagreed and could not bear being crowned in public. The nature of his work also made it difficult for him to be crowned in public.

Jia Xu is the chief of the secret spies, so his exposure must be reduced as much as possible.

So the last general to receive the title was Huang Zhong.

The last civil official was Jia Wenhe, the chief bodyguard who stood like a shadow behind Cao Cao.

Only then did Cao Cao evaluate and confer the title on him.

Jia Xu opened it and saw that the adjective was very simple: "Xu has good qualities and is a master of strategy. It is you who makes me trustworthy and respected by the world.

He has made every possible plan, and has always been able to make decisions based on his own circumstances. In terms of knowledge, strategy, and intelligence, Jia Wenhe is the best. "

A smile appeared on Jia Xu's face, which rarely showed joy or anger.

"Xu thanks the King of Wei." He said with a bow.

As for the official positions and salary increases at the end of the list, Jia Xu didn't care much about them.

Whether he gets promoted or not, he will do these things.

As for salary increase, he has no use for the money.

The boss is in charge of everything. He has been living and eating at the Cao Mansion for several years.

Cao Cao was looking at the list of appointed generals on the table.

This time, the four people who were enthroned as the Five Tiger Generals who led the troops were Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Taishi Ci.

In terms of bravery and personal strength, only two generals were awarded the title, and they were the half-brothers.

In fact, there are several other people who are qualified to be conferred titles, such as Yu Jin, Le Jin, Cao Ren, and the Xiahou brothers. There is no problem in conferring them the titles of Five Elite Generals.

But Cao Cao suppressed it and never filled the cup.

There is still room for improvement, just wait a little longer.

That is to say, six of the Ten Tiger Generals were appointed, and there were not many vacancies left... Cao Cao thought that even fifteen generals were not enough.

"Keep a close eye on the people in the clan who are secretly colluding with each other. Also, start making arrangements for Han Sui in Liangzhou so that we can take back Liangzhou as soon as possible."

Jia Xu agreed and went down to make arrangements.

The sun moves westward.

Cao Cao took out Han Xin's military token and Xiantai seal and placed them together for study.

----

"Second brother."

Liu Bei walked in from outside the yard, "Third brother said that you have been looking north since this morning, and have not moved for several hours?"

Guan Yu's tall figure, wearing an ancient green robe and half armor, stood like a mountain, his eyes fixed on the northern sky!
Zhang Fei also followed Liu Bei and walked over.

"There is a great fortune between heaven and earth, surging toward the north."

Guan Yu stretched out his powerful hand, as if touching something in the void:
"At noon, the energy of heaven and earth changed dramatically, but now it has slowed down!"

"Surging northward, Jizhou?"

Liu Bei also reached out and felt it.

But I felt nothing.

When one’s spiritual practice reaches Guan Yu’s level, one’s perception of the heaven and earth will be extremely profound, and even if one is thousands of miles away, one can still feel an indescribable sensation.

Zhang Fei: "If there is, then there is. What does it have to do with us?"

"This morning, the entire world is tilting toward the north, with a certain location as the center, gathering the energy of heaven and earth."

Guan Yu: "Don't you care what caused this change? Or who made the world tilt towards the north?"

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Second brother is saying that the abnormality between heaven and earth is because of...Cao Mengde!"

"No, it's not just one person. It's Cao's army gathering their troops. It's also possible that they are performing a sacrifice. All the troops are gathering, and both civil and military officials are present."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "The people under Cao Mengde are extremely powerful and have great luck. There are few people like them in the world."

“If Cao’s army marches south to seize Jingzhou, not to mention that Jingzhou’s internal troubles have not been resolved, even at the height of its power, it would not be a match for them.

Big brother should make preparations early."

Liu Bei looked up to the north and said worriedly:

"For unknown reasons, the governor of the state (Liu Biao) suddenly fell ill. It is said that a Taoist priest was called in to treat him. Unfortunately, not only did he not get better, but his condition seemed to be getting worse."

"Regarding the follow-up...someone from the Zhuge family gave me an idea."

----

Zhao Yun led his troops back to the camp, then entered the city and came to a courtyard next to Cao's mansion.

The elders who came to watch the ceremony, including some relatives of the Cao family, were arranged to stay next to the Cao mansion.

Zhao Yun's master, Tong Yuan, is also here.

"Master."

Zhao Yun came in from outside and saluted Tong Yuan.

There was a group of old men sitting in the room, all of them were great talents of the time.

Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Zhang Huai, Tong Yuan, Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are the two youngest among them.

"My apprentice is here."

Tong Yuan looked at Zhao Yun.

In his early years, he and Zhang Huai had competed against each other for the pinnacle of martial arts.

When they met again in their old age, all their grudges were forgotten and they sat together and talked happily.

"Today, in addition to the announcement of those titles in public, has the King of Wei given you any other rewards?" Tong Yuan asked.

Zhao Yun said frankly: "The king wants to make me a marquis. I feel that I came to Cao's camp quite late. My qualifications and achievements are not as good as those of Generals Wenyuan and Hansheng. The king has allowed me to lead the army alone, which is enough to show his kindness and trust.

"I dare not make you a marquis without making great contributions. The king has already approved it, and it will not be too late to make you a marquis later."

Tong Yuan turned around and said to everyone with a smile: "Look at my disciple, how is he? Does he know how to advance and retreat?"

Everyone praised it.

It turned out that these old guys were showing off their disciples to each other.

When you are young, you compete among yourself; when you are old, you rely on showing off your children or successors to compete.

……

study.

Cao Cao put down Han Xin's military token and immortal seal, pondered for a while, and then closed his eyes to examine himself.

When he appointed generals, he felt that every time he appointed a general, the other party would gain military luck and would also give him a burst of energy in return.

After the entire battle, the power he received from his generals was so overwhelming and powerful that he needed to use his internal energy to digest it.

At the same time, Cao Cao also noticed that he had undergone some special changes after being appointed as a general.

When he closed his eyes, the power in his body continued to flow.

The dragon of luck behind him opened its mouth and spit out pearls.

Sure enough, changes occurred on the dragon ball.

Ps: In the last two chapters, a book friend suggested that the ten tiger generals should be divided into upper and lower parts, which is not as good as left and right. I adjusted it so that the left corresponds to the upper part and the right corresponds to the lower part. It’s okay if you don’t see it, it won’t affect the reading~~ Please vote
