However, in today's battle, Zhao Changqing exposed a fatal problem.

That is when two armies are fighting, it is easy for the enemy to perceive the specific number of one's own army.

But now that the matter has come to this, we can only place our hope on Xu Fengyun and others. They only guessed that their army has less than 300,000 soldiers, but they cannot guess how many troops they have.

In fact, in this world, the number of troops is not a necessary factor that can affect victory or defeat.

How many martial arts masters there are in the army is the key to victory.

For example, among the heavy armored cavalry under Zhao Changqing, everyone is at least above the Qi Sea realm, and most of them have even reached the Tongmai realm. There are still a few who have reached the level of innate masters, or have touched the

The threshold of the innate realm.

This was a force developed in the later period of Wei State.

Before Zhao Changqing ascended the throne, Wei's most powerful Forbidden Army had all been lost in the battle with Xiang Nantian. Otherwise, Wei's original Forbidden Army had an army, and the strength of its soldiers had reached an astonishing level.

Or the Qi Sea Realm.

After Zhao Changqing ascended the throne, due to the rapid expansion of military strength, the trend of cultivation became prevalent in the army. As a result, many people broke through one after another with the blessing of strong national power, and the heavy armored cavalry reached its current scale.

However, the level of martial arts in the military is still not as good as the level of martial arts in the Jianghu.

For example, when fighting at the same level, that is, fighting alone, it is difficult for martial arts masters in the army to defeat people in the world. Unless they are some very powerful people, such as Xiang Yu, they will definitely be able to fight against a land god in the world.

Beat that land god master in the world of martial arts to ashes.

Another example is that when Zhao Yun first came out, his innate realm could kill many masters of the same realm.

But having said that, when it comes to group fights, in the eyes of military masters, more masters in the world will die as many as they come.

Because the martial arts practiced by warriors in the army are designed to be most effective on the battlefield, it is difficult to bring their martial arts to their peak state when fighting alone on weekdays.

Cao Cao did not follow Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei and others, but stayed with the emperor. He wanted to learn more from the emperor.

After all, many people say that His Majesty the Emperor is the one who can truly march and fight, and that the Emperor's talent and ability are far higher than others.

This is what Zhuge Liang and others said.

Under the influence of what he heard and saw, he naturally wanted to stay with the emperor, even if it was more dangerous, he was not afraid. After all, the emperor was not afraid, so as a minister, what did he have to fear?

In the imperial tent, Zhao Changqing has been staring at the map non-stop, thinking about how to fight the next battle in order to delay time.

Cao Cao saw that His Majesty was deep in thought and did not want to disturb him, so he just stood beside him and accompanied him silently.

Zhao Changqing naturally noticed Cao Cao beside him. He put away his thoughts and smiled at Cao Cao: "Why don't you go to rest and stay here?"

Cao Cao bowed his head and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have doubts in my heart."

Zhao Changqing smiled, sat on the chair, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Have you any doubts? Let's talk about your doubts."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, in today's battle, our troops are not as strong as the Liang Army, and our soldiers are not as good as the Liang Army. But why does your Majesty insist on fighting the Liang Army for several hours and not withdraw the troops as soon as possible? Let us

What about less losses?”

It took him enough courage to ask this question.

Otherwise, this is just questioning your Majesty, and you will be punished. In serious cases, you may be beheaded.

Zhao Changqing never cared about these things. He explained to Cao Cao in detail: "That's because the soldiers are not large but refined, and the generals are not large but brave. In the remaining battles, we can try our best to deal with the enemy's main force without fighting with them."

Fight head-on. But in this first battle, we must show off a prestige, so that the Liang army knows that the ones fighting them are the main force of the Wei Dynasty. Otherwise, if we flee without fighting or retreat while fighting, we will easily be defeated by the enemy.

The army has seen the clues, and at that time, Zhuge Liang and the others will be in danger."

Cao Cao suddenly realized that he was worthy of being your Majesty. He marched and fought in such a well-organized manner that he showed no signs of panic. He was able to show ease in the face of enemy soldiers several times his own. He was truly a war wizard.

He bowed decisively again and said: "I have learned a lesson."

That was Zhao Changqing's original thought. After all, this was how he wanted to fight this battle from the beginning.

If it were Zhao Changqing in the past, he would definitely not have thought of so many things, but now, after going through countless battles, large and small, Zhao Changqing has already trained himself, and with a vision and vision far beyond this, he really wants to learn.

Something will definitely draw parallels.

He said to Cao Cao: "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will let you lead an army alone. Are you sure you can lead an army well?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was happy and said with a smile: "Reporting to your majesty, I have studied under General Bai Qi and Prime Minister Zhuge for a long time, and also experienced this battle with your majesty. I am confident enough that I can lead an army."

, and will not lose to any of our soldiers in the Wei Dynasty."

He knew that this was his chance.

Zhao Changqing smiled when he heard this and said: "Okay! Young people should be so energetic! Tell me, how many people do you think you can lead?"

Cao Cao thought about it seriously, and then said: "Wei Chen thinks that he can bring 100,000 troops."

"One hundred thousand?" Zhao Changqing asked curiously: "Are you really so confident?"

It's not that he doesn't trust Cao Cao's ability, on the contrary, he is very optimistic about this future hero. However, Cao Cao is still too young after all.

It takes time and experience to make Cao Cao the hero recorded in the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Cao's attitude was very determined, and he obviously didn't want to give up this opportunity.

Otherwise, in the future in Wei State, which is full of talents, I am afraid that I will have to endure qualifications for many years before I can stand out.

The afterglow of my father's generation cannot shine on me for too long.

He said to Zhao Changqing: "Your Majesty, if I have this self-confidence, I can lead one hundred thousand troops and be invincible!"

Zhao Changqing laughed twice and said: "You are so confident! I ask you, I will hand over all the armies under my command to you. How should we fight the next few battles in order to support Zhuge Liang and the others to detour back to the enemy army?

rear?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he felt troubled for a moment and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said: "I believe that we should remain unchanged in response to all changes. At present, due to military strength, we need to wait and act, and we must not take the initiative to attack. Of course, during this period,

We should also look for opportunities to sneak attack the enemy troops and cause them some trouble so that they have no time to worry about other things..."

Zhao Changqing listened to his endless talk and felt that this should be the case.

Finally, he said to him: "Anyone can talk on paper. Now you have the 60,000 cavalry under my command. How to fight the next battle is entirely up to you."

Cao Cao felt as if he was struck by lightning and said in horror: "Your Majesty, you..."

At this point, I hesitate to speak, because I really don’t know what to say.

Zhao Changqing nodded firmly to him and said, "Why, you don't want to accept the order?"

Changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists.

But Zhao Changqing now has a certain amount of trust in Cao Cao and believes that he can win this battle for fame.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After hearing his answer, Zhao Changqing nodded with satisfaction.

Liang Jun.

Xu Fengyun is in the tent.

A cloud of white mist appeared for no apparent reason beside Xu Fengyun's bed, waking him up.

Suddenly, in the mist, the figure of a woman appeared.

When the fog cleared, Xu Fengyun saw clearly who she was. Without any explanation, he hugged her and murmured affectionately in the woman's ear: "I miss you."

The word "I" is not used, which shows that this woman has an extraordinary status in his heart.

The woman enjoyed his embrace very much, and whispered: "It's all your fault for your military adviser. He set up a Bagua array in your camp, and all evil spirits and ghosts were not allowed to come near. Fortunately, you led the troops out, otherwise we would still have to wait.

Know when we can meet again."

Xu Fengyun smiled when he heard the sound. He knew that the Bagua array was used by Li Yijun to gather luck. According to what he said, in all ancient battles, even to the end, a trace of luck could affect the victory of the war.

But I didn't expect that this formation could also exorcise evil spirits.

He said to her: "Where is your fox tail?"

This woman is clearly the white fox-faced Jiang Yunwei from Qingqiu who disappeared with Mei Xi.

She struggled out of Xu Fengyun's arms and lay on his bed without any notice, saying naughtily: "What? I've touched it so many times, but I still haven't touched it enough?"

Xu Fengyun looked at her and smiled: "For you, I can't see enough, how can I possibly touch you enough?"

Jiang Yunwei smiled happily.

Xu Fengyun asked: "Right now, the two armies are fighting. You have to come to see me at this time. What do you mean?"

Jiang Yunwei said: "Can't we see if there are any women hidden in your tent?"

Xu Fengyun said deliberately: "Don't tell me, there is really a peerless beauty hidden in my camp."

After Jiang Yunwei heard the sound, she felt like she was facing an enemy and was a little angry. She stood up suddenly and said, "Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

As she spoke, she looked around.

Seeing this, Xu Fengyun pinched her chin with quick eyes and hands, and said softly: "That peerless beauty is you."

Jiang Yunwei was like a little girl at this moment, her body was almost weak. She hit Xu Fengyun's chest with her small fist. It was not painful or itchy, just for flirting, and then she snuggled into his arms, feeling worried.

He said: "I came to see you this time because I have something to tell you. Can you please stop fighting with the emperor of Wei?"
