In the big house, Wu Ming wiped away tears that did not exist.
With Cao Su holding his arms to comfort him, he sat down in his seat.
Soon, several sergeants brought hot tea to Wu Ming.
Then Cao Su brought his dark robe and prepared to put it on Wu Ming.
Wu Ming was moved and said: "My lord, that's not the case."
"It's summer..."
Cao Su smiled and said: "Brother Wu, if you do this, you will become our military counselor."
"It just so happens that our army has entered Cangjiang City. Do you have any strategies to teach me?"
Wu Ming used to be the Logistics Counselor. Later, after he and Cao Su went out to ambush a wave of Wanping troops, he was promoted to the position of the Former Army Counselor.
Later, he was coerced by Liu Chuang and others, and gradually transformed into an excellent counselor.
These days, generals are easy to find, but counselors are hard to come by.
Especially a counselor like Wu Ming who is well-educated and has achieved great success is even more rare.
Wu Ming was familiar with the Lushan War. After hearing Cao Su's test, he thought for a moment and immediately had a plan in mind. However, he was cautious by nature, so he tentatively asked: "My lord, I would like to ask how to break the Lushan situation?"
Cao Su shook his head and said: "The battle situation in Lushan is too big. General Right is in charge of it, and Wei's military advisor is planning it. I only care about the situation in front of me."
"Right now, our army is stationed in Cangjiang City. If we advance, we can go straight into the Lushan battlefield, and if we retreat, we can guard the main road of Cangjiang."
"But Cangjiang River is only a tributary after all, and its status in the Lushan War is not high. It can even be said to be somewhat marginal. Otherwise, Liu Chuang would not dare to give up Cangjiang City so easily."
Cao Su only cares about the one-third of an acre of land in front of him. It can even be said that he only cares about himself.
But he couldn't explain it clearly to his new counselor. The key depends on his own understanding.
Wu Ming's eyes flashed, and he seemed to have caught Cao Su's point.
He continued to say tentatively: "So, sir, do you want to talk about how to lead the army to gain greater military exploits?"
Cao Su coughed dryly and corrected him: "Counsellor Wu, that's not what I meant. Don't make random guesses. Everything needs to be based on the overall situation."
Cao Su smiled again and said: "I heard that you have read "The Legend of Divination" before?"
"Bu Yang Zhuan" is a classic written by ancient masters. It was originally a story passed down orally. In the ancient dynasty about three to four thousand years ago, it was passed down to Bu Yang Qian, a descendant of Bu Yang Gong, who compiled and revised it together with his son.
Forming a complete classic book of "The Legend of Divination".
It is said that in ancient times, there were three generations, namely "the age of chaos", "the age of peace" and "the age of peace".
Reflecting each one today, there are still many references and inspirations.
Wu Ming was a scholar and had read many scriptures. Cao Su singled out this one, which surprised him slightly. He nodded while secretly trying to figure out what Cao Su meant.
Wu Ming said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you mean... to 'destroy its strongholds, seize its leaders, and dissolve its body' as it is said in "The Legend of Divination"?"
Cao Su said a faint "hmm" without saying yes or no.
Wu Ming seemed to be suddenly clicked by Cao Su to start talking, and said slightly excitedly: "Your Excellency is really a genius!"
"The ten thousand level army is nothing more than a mob. Even if the generals of the shrine are powerful, they will never be able to escape the word 'thief'. If we can select elites to defeat the thieves, the enemy army will collapse without a fight."
Cao Su:???
After Cao Su paused, he asked, "You have been in the Wanping Army for many days, have you ever understood the military defense layout of the Wanping Army in Lushan?"
The total strength of the Lushan Wanping Army is probably close to 400,000.
Such a huge army will obviously not be stationed in only one place. It will also be divided into three armies: "front, middle and rear". The rear army will be stationed at the strategic road. The front army will attack Lushan, and the Chinese army will separate some partial divisions to capture the important border of Lushan.
stronghold.
Wu Ming nodded and said, "I understand a little bit."
"The entire Lushan Ten Thousand Ping Army is led by the Divine Palace General and his top ten canal commanders."
"In the beginning, Hu Rong had a place in the top ten canal commanders. Later, after Hu Rong was sent to fight in Yuzhou, someone else came in to fill the top ten canal commanders."
"These top ten commanders are important figures in control of the Wanping Army. Ninety percent of the Wanping Army's strength is in their hands."
"And these top ten Qushuai are all powerful masters who are die-hard loyal to the General of the Shrine."
"Besides the top ten Qushuai, there are also many newly promoted Qushuai, such as Liu Chuang, who was also named a Qushuai after leading his troops to defect."
"But commanders like Liu Chuang have fewer troops."
"Among the front army, there are two major commanders who are attacking the main body of Lushan. It is said that the defenders on Lushan are guarding the mountain and blocking the enemy troops from Lushan. Many scholars in Lushan Academy also
Helped a lot.”
"The Chinese army has six major canal commanders, four of which protect the general of the palace, and two other major canal commanders, each leading 50,000 elite troops to sweep away strongholds in all directions."
"Liu Chuang is the one who has traveled farther among the Qu commanders. He came to the Beixun Mountains to be active and captured Cangjiang City. If it were not for the sanctions imposed by the righteous forces of our court, he would probably be able to continue to dominate here for a while.
.”
Wu Ming briefly talked about the situation of the Wanping Army, then walked up to Cao Su and started pointing at the map behind Cao Su.
"Here, here, and here are the places where the other two commanders of the Wanping Army are active. This is the main entrance to the main battlefield of Lushan..."
Cao Su looked at the map and understood some of the military arrangements of the Wanping Army.
After the two talked about military affairs, they talked about the general situation of the world.
Wu Ming newly joined Cao Su's camp and officially surrendered to Cao Su. He originally planned to show off. When talking about the general trend of the world, he said something like "the building will collapse and the gods and demons are dancing wildly".
Cao Su smiled slightly, it was already good for Wu Ming to have such understanding.
Cao Su asked: "Wu Ming, what is your ambition?"
ambition?
Wu Ming looked at Cao Su and choked on his words.
Ambition seems a bit far away from him. As a not-so-excellent scholar and a not-so-strong martial artist, his initial ambition was just to be a simple member of the public family.
Unexpectedly, he was directly recruited into the government army by Wei Tao without enjoying the benefits of civil servants for two days.

Wu Ming was too embarrassed to tell Cao Su that he had no ambitions. He held it in for a long time before saying, "At least, you want to be a high official, right?"
"Sir, how big an official is he?"
"That has to be above the fifth rank and a parent official in a state."
After Wu Ming finished speaking, Cao Su couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wu Ming was a little angry at first. He always felt that Cao Su's laughter was inappropriate and seemed to be mocking his ambition.
But soon, he also started laughing...
Cao Su smiled and said: "Not bad, very good."
"What's the meaning?"
"I believe that you have to eat one meal at a time and walk one step at a time. If you eat one meal, you won't become fat. If you take a long step, you will easily lose weight."
Wu Ming smiled and said: "So what is your ambition?"
How could Cao Su speak out what was in his heart? He simply lied: "Can you say something like ambition casually? It must be kept in your heart, then you can be confident."
Wu Ming:..........
Overall, both the employer and employee were quite satisfied with this interview.
After Cao Su taught him a few more things about Qianyuan officialdom, he asked Wu Ming to retire.
Wu Ming was taken away by Li Li. When he came out, his body was already covered in hot sweat.
Li Liqi said: "Huh? Counselor Wu, are you wearing such thick clothes in summer?"
After Wu Ming and Li Li both left, it was getting late.
Cao Su was about to practice some practice when Zhao Xi hurriedly walked in from the entrance of the courtyard.
Zhao Xi whispered: "Sir, General Fan has invited us to convene a military meeting of thousands of generals."
Cao Su is now the 1,000th general under Fan Long's tent, with 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
As for the other thousand generals under Fan Long, there are only more than a thousand of his own troops.
Cao Su stood up and asked Zhao Xi to lead the way.
Soon we arrived at the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion here is the largest mansion.
But compared to the previous City Lord's Mansion in Guyue and Yincheng, the City Lord's Mansion here is obviously of a lower grade. The soldiers under Fan Long's tent could no longer stand and went to the streets to perform duty.
Cao Su stepped into the city lord's palace. In the main hall, Fan Long and thousands of other generals had already arrived.
When Fan Long saw Cao Su, he laughed several times.
"Cao Fenwei really deserves his reputation."
"This time in the capture of Cangjiang City, Cao Fen was so powerful and courageous that he took the lead. He was the first to climb the Cangjiang City Tower. He must be the first in the army!"
Fan Long had a loud voice and spoke very loudly. When the thousands of people sitting in the hall heard this, their expressions changed.
Several complaining glances were cast on Cao Su.
Cao Su was originally the 1,000-man general, but he fought so hard and rushed faster than the small soldiers. Fan Long was happy because of this, but what should these 1,000-man generals do? Do they have the nerve to continue to hide behind and command?
If Cao Su is first and takes first again, he is still first.
The people behind will be forced to work harder in the future, and the best result will still be second place.
Obviously the result has not changed, but everyone has put in more effort.
Isn't this a typical involution?
This Cao Fenwei is really the first person to get involved...
