Chapter 570(1/2)
"Feng Xiao, I am going to rearrange your position and let you serve as Chief of Staff in Cao Cao's Corps.
Help me keep an eye on Cao Cao. To be honest, Cao Cao came to Xiakou City today, saying that he wanted to defect to me.
This officer was unexpected. Cao Cao was a tycoon, a generational overlord, and he was very good at commanding troops in battle.
I can't let him stay in the academy. That would be a waste of time and talent. Let Cao Cao use his talent.
He must be allowed to lead the troops. But what? I can’t fully trust Cao Cao in my heart, and I don’t want Cao Cao’s talent to be buried, so I have no choice but to let Fengxiao come out.”
Qin Qi said.
"Lord, our Xiakou Army does not lack generals. Since we don't trust them and just block them, why use them?"
Guo Jiadao.
"Feng Xiao, Cao Cao's ability to command troops is very good. No one in this era can match him. Only Zhou Yu can compare with him.
He is a rare handsome man. This makes me very entangled and wants Fengxiao to assist Cao Cao and contain Cao Cao.
Among our Xiakou army, only Fengxiao has the ability to contain Cao Cao, and it is difficult for others to achieve their goal of containing Cao Cao."
Qin Qi said.
"My lord, how many divisions should we provide to Cao Cao's army?"
Guo Jiadao.
"Old Cao said that he has 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but the number that can truly meet the standards of our Xiakou Army is estimated to be no more than 30,000.
I have given Cao Cao four standard divisions, and the remaining portion after reorganization will be drawn from the county troops in the Jingzhou area."
Qin Qi said.
"Four standard divisions, a total of 60,000 troops. My lord, does Cao Cao's army have a cavalry division?"
Guo Jiadao.
"We will not deploy them for the time being. We will consider deploying cavalry divisions only when the world is calm and we need to send troops to the northern grasslands.
However, I will let the Hubao Cavalry accompany Fengxiao. As the soldiers and horses under Fengxiao’s direct control, the Hubaoqi can also protect Fengxiao’s safety.”
Qin Qi said.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were originally Cao Cao's strongest cavalry. Now that they are handed over to Fengxiao, they can be regarded as being placed under Cao Cao's account.
"My Lord, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are your bodyguards. How can you let the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry protect your humble position? This is inappropriate."
Guo Jiadao.
Hahaha!
"Go one!"
Bang!
"Fengxiao, I am staying in Xiakou, why do I need the protection of tiger and leopard cavalry? If the city of Xiakou is attacked, then our Xiakou army will be done.
What's the point of protecting my life? It's better to let the tiger and leopard ride to the battlefield and make achievements. This is the best outcome."
Qin Qi said.
Guo Jia burst into tears with gratitude. Guo Jia felt in her heart that Qin Qi's love and care made Guo Jia's loyalty suddenly jump from 90% to a die-hard level of 100%.
"My lord, I will definitely complete the mission. As long as Cao Cao has different intentions, he will provide a solution as soon as possible."
Guo Jiadao.
"Fengxiao, Lao Cao is surrounded by generals such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Li Dian, Yue Jin, and Yu Jin.
The surnames Cao and Xiahou are actually from the Cao family. Only Li Dian, Yue Jin and Yu Jin are from other surnames.
You can consider reusing these three people. Of course, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan are also very good. The seven of them, to be honest,
All have the ability to serve as division commanders. I will appoint Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Li Dian, and Yue Jin as division commanders.
The rest is up to you to decide and report to the military staff headquarters."
Qin Qi said.
"Lord, I have recorded my humble duty."
Guo Jiadao.
Damn it!
People in later generations said that Cao Cao and Guo Jia were golden partners. As long as they stayed together, sparks would definitely fly.
"My lord, Cao Cao's regiment needs to be reorganized and it is estimated that it will not be able to participate in the battle against Qingzhou."
Guo Jiadao.
"Don't worry, Fengxiao! Liu Biao cannot stop the Xiakou Army's expedition. I will dispatch a cavalry division from Liaodong to the Qingzhou battlefield.
Gao Shun's regiment is temporarily stationary as Fengxiao's backup force. When Qingzhou is captured, the decisive battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao will be decided.
It’s time for us to send troops to Jizhou and Youzhou areas.”
Qin Qi said.
Reorganizing 100,000 soldiers and horses cannot be done in a day or two. Not only must the quality and age of the soldiers be screened, but they must also be changed into uniforms.
It turns out that the weapons in Cao's army must not be used, and the clothes must be replaced. It will take a period of training and break-in before they can become an army.
"My Lord, has anyone chosen the Chief of Naval Staff?"
Guo Jiadao.
Qin Qi shook her head.
Gan Ning was very good at leading troops in battle. Over the past few years, he continued to study and explore, allowing Gan Ning to thoroughly master various techniques of water warfare.
"Fengxiao, it's hard to find a chief of staff of the navy! The best candidate is Zhou Yu, but we can't decide, so we can only wait a few years for him to be trained in the academy."
Qin Qi said.
Lu Xun is still young in the academy now. Once Lu Xun reaches adulthood, he will definitely become a big boss in the Xiakou army.
You must know that Lu Xun was highly regarded in later generations as a statesman, military strategist, and among his ministers, he was as outstanding as Brother Zhu.
There are so many great figures in the Three Kingdoms, but only two ministers, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, are passed down independently.
In other words, Lu Xun has the ability to rival Brother Zhu. You can imagine how awesome Lu Xun is.
Zhuge Liang is a god-like existence.
"Lao Dian, go get Zhong Kang."
Qin Qi said.
"As you command!"
Dian Wei Dao.
"Lord, what's the point of finding a humble position?"
Xu Chudao.
"Zhongkang, when you take the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with Mr. Feng Xiao and go to Cao Cao's army to reorganize the troops, you must pay attention.
We cannot let people who fail to meet the requirements enlist in the army, and pay them travel expenses to go home and live a good life. We cannot treat them badly.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under your banner must obey Fengxiao's orders unconditionally, and must protect Fengxiao's safety without any mistakes."
Qin Qi said.
"My lord, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are your bodyguards. After they are transferred, who will protect my lord's safety? Isn't that bad?"
Xu Chudao.
Hahaha!
"Zhongkang! What's the danger for me staying in Xiakou City? Isn't it because Dian Wei is by my side? The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry must go to the battlefield and make contributions.
It would be too wasteful to stay in Xiakou. The fate of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can only be reflected on the battlefield. I also understand that,
Zhong Kang has always longed for battlefield killings in his heart. Now I am sending you out to show your performance well and not to weaken the majesty of our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."
Qin Qi said.
"Lord, don't worry! The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will definitely not lose its majesty and will make its name known to the world."
Xu Chudao.
"Fengxiao, tomorrow you accompany Lao Cao to visit Xiakou City, take him to visit the navy, and take a look at our five-masted warship. Lao Cao will definitely be amazed."
Qin Qi said.
"As you command!"
Guo Jiadao.
"My lord, what are Cao Cao's hobbies?"
Guo Jiadao.
