For the current Cao Cao force, there is half of the Kabul Valley, no, there is no need for half of the Kabul Valley. As long as Cao Cao squeezes in half of the force, the potential and combat power of Cao Cao's force need to be recalculated, and the money and food owed before are
Materials can be recalculated.
After all, the major aristocratic families don't want to kill Cao Cao's forces. Essentially, they just want to blackmail Cao Cao out of their righteousness. However, at the current level, this blackmail looks like they are going to kill Cao Cao's forces.
Same as Lane.
But in fact, if Cao Cao's power can develop as quickly as before, the extortion from the major families will not be repayable to Cao Cao.
Just like compensation, which is very fatal for agricultural countries, for industrial countries, it may only be one year's output. The so-called fatality depends on the actual score.
The strategy that Cao Cao has come up with now, if nothing else, is at least sufficiently executable. Strategies will only succeed because they are correct.
The thing Cao Cao is bringing out now is the kind of thing that a normal person would know is the correct strategy just by seeing it.
"In this case, you can give it a try." Barak calculated the difference in combat power between the enemy and ourselves in his mind. Considering that this is the first time this combat idea has appeared on the battlefield, it is absolutely impossible for Aldashir to see through it in an instant.
The success rate of this thing is incredibly high.
The other Cao generals present also looked eager to try when they heard this.
Whether a strategy is correct or not can sometimes be seen just by looking at it. When facing Aldashir before, General Cao was a little desperate. After all, they are now unstable and burdened with heavy debts. Aldashir
They still defended the Kabul Valley so tightly that Xia Houyuan and others lost hope of conquering the Kabul Valley.
This is also the reason why Cao Cao found that his generals were somewhat depressed when he first came back. Human beings, when there is no hope, either go crazy or lie down. But these days, with Old Ancestor Chen on top, he can go crazy.
It's impossible to go crazy, so you can only lie down.
Therefore, all the generals under Cao Cao who recognized the reality clearly during this year fell asleep.
But now that Cao Cao had put hope in front of these people, the generals who were lying down suddenly became confused. After all, in reality, most people who were lying down just lay down because they couldn't see hope and had nothing to pursue.
Yes, if you really have ambition and hope, who wouldn’t be a struggler!
With Cao Cao's shot in the arm, morale, which had been obviously low, quickly rebounded. A group of generals also began to actively discuss how to attack the pass that Ardassil was turning into a fortress, and how to quickly turn it into a fortress.
Sit down, eat Ardashir to death, etc.
In short, after the beginning of Cao Cao, the generals of the Cao family who were originally prepared to wait for death were able to successfully rise up. After all, they were lying down just because they saw no hope. Who would be stupid if they had the opportunity to become a prince?
Climb and lie flat.
[My father is indeed better than me. He successfully mobilized the confidence of all his uncles just after he came back, making them no longer as decadent as before.] Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao and sighed in his heart. Cao Cao's power has always lacked nothing.
They have always had combat effectiveness and intelligence. Their biggest problem is their continuous mistakes, and now Cao Cao is finally ready to embark on the right path.
"Okay, let's stop the discussion first. There is no problem with this plan." Cao Cao went through a few cases, looked at Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others and asked.
"No problem. When the time comes, we will gather the elite of our headquarters and take the lead personally. With a heavy reward, we should be able to capture the fortress that Ardashir is building at the pass in a very short time." Xia Houyuan assured with strong confidence.
Dao, their strength is still enough, but their mentality is a bit broken. Now that their mentality is back, who is not a famous general who can fight?
"There is no problem on my side, but I still suggest that we form an elite legion and take the pass directly in one go. Rather than letting General Xiahou and others lead the headquarters, I think it is better for me to lead the elite troops of Beigui and go directly. The legion under my control is currently popular.
The floating ones are more powerful." Barak also realized the power of this strategy, but after listening to Xia Houyuan's words, he still raised objections.
"Okay, this time you will be the vanguard." Cao Cao nodded. This is not the time to think about the issue of relatives. He should fight out first and stabilize this side again. After entering Kabul, the mentality of his soldiers will gradually improve.
After adjusting, the best way in the world to alleviate the mental problems of soldiers is the reward after victory.
As long as you can win and win enough, then no matter how resentful the soldiers are before, as long as they are not ready to abandon you, they will come back sooner or later.
"Now that everyone agrees with this strategy, then each ministry will form an elite detachment, strengthen training, and prepare for the war. The relevant strategic details will be made public after discussing with Wen Ruo and others. At present, everyone needs to
Remember not to spread it to the outside world." Cao Cao looked at these generals who were related to his family by marriage and blood, and ordered in a cold voice.
After all, Cao Cao had just come up with this plan. Originally, he summoned all the Cao generals not to inform them of the matter, but while waiting for the arrival of this group of people, Cao Cao looked at the terrain of the Kabul area and the Helmand River.
flow, suddenly conceived such a plan.
Of course, it is more likely that the knowledge of several top civil servants has arrived, and then this knowledge was integrated with the hardware of Cao Cao to splice a new strategy. However, no matter how you say it, this strategy is much stronger than the rhetoric prepared by Cao Cao before.
After all, relying on language is inevitably a bit empty, but relying on strategy is really different, especially this kind of strategy that you can feel is correct and can actually change their current situation. For the current Cao family and the Xiahou family,
For a general, he has a fatal attraction.
No one wants to live a good life, even if they endure hardship, it is for the sake of a sweet life in the future, or for those who come after them. There is no such thing as enduring hardship for the sake of suffering.
If all the struggles are destined to be nothing more than cows and horses in the future, or if all the efforts are destined to only become worse, there is no sweet life and only a tired existence, then no matter how good the words are, it cannot change it.
The consciousness to give up the struggle.
The rhetoric prepared by Cao Cao may be able to incite the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and may be able to persuade the son-in-law Barak, but this kind of rhetoric is essentially a credit loan. Once there is a problem in the link and it cannot be realized, the situation will be
Further deterioration made Cao Cao's already poor reputation even worse, completely destroying all hope.
But things are different now. Cao Cao did not use words at all, but came up with an implementable strategy. This strategy was so good that the generals present could understand the success rate of this strategy just by reading it.
No one wants to succeed, and no one wants to wallow in the mud all his life. He doesn't want to stand in the sky and look down on the world. That's not a question of whether he wants to or not, it's a question of whether he can do it. And now that we have such an opportunity,
Of course I won't give up.
Therefore, when the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family left Cao Cao, their expressions were much more relaxed than before, and they no longer had the frowns on their brows that they had when they came before. Although the problem has not been completely solved now, people have a head start.
, then the expression is naturally completely different.
When Cao Cao summoned his family, generals with foreign surnames such as Le Jin, Xu Huang, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu found a place to gather together casually. They had a discussion. This kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed in a normal dynasty. After all, you are so
What do you mean, these generals suddenly gathered together without me as the boss? You want to rebel, right? Let me kill you.
It's just that Cao Cao's current power is not a normal dynasty. In addition, Xu Huang and others were somewhat tired after suffering a big blow at the end of the year before last. Later, the Cao family gathered the generals for a meeting without them, so they had no choice but to gather together.
Talking nonsense together.
However, to be honest, it is the first time for such a big movement like this one.
But who would have thought that this was the first time Cao Cao had summoned the generals after he came back, but the result was that he only summoned the relatives of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. After receiving the news, the big bosses with foreign surnames had to think about what happened.
"Speaking of which, what should we do next?" Zhang Xiu said with a somewhat tired tone. If he had known that Lao Cao would reach this level now, he would have just gone to Congling with his uncles. What else could he do?
He joined Uncle Hua to serve under the Taiwei.
Either of these two choices would be no worse than being under Cao Cao now, right? Damn it, I’m so angry. Why did I have the idea of starting a business back then? Isn’t it bad to be a rich second generation?
But who made me young and vigorous back then, plus Zhang Ji passed away, I lost my uncle, and I no longer wanted to have a few relatives to take care of me, so I immersed myself in it. It seemed to be okay, San Guan and Liangzhou people like me
Cao Cao is on par with him, and as a result, what is going on now, so desperate.
"What's the point of saying this now?" Le Jin said calmly, "Is it possible that you can still run away?"
Xu Huang, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu all raised their eyebrows when they heard this. Don't you really think that our three brothers don't have a family? It's true that our three brothers do. It's just that too many people have sunk in Cao Cao's side, which makes them feel a little distressed.
If we really want to talk about our next home, it's not impossible for the three of us to change places.
"It's just a little uncomfortable." Pang De said with a sigh.
"Compared with these, I think we should continue to develop our own legion talents. At least this kind of thing will not make us feel outrageous fun, and it can also enhance our combat effectiveness and survivability." Xu Huang was very calm.
He said that he had long been accustomed to this situation of sitting on the bench, and just sitting on the bench and developing the talents of the legion was just killing time.
"After using it for so many years, I really had some free time last year, and I had time to study my talent." Zhang Xiu really listened to Xu Huang's suggestion and felt like a general in his heart. In addition, Cao Cao last year
There is indeed nothing wrong with the forces. As for the centurion running away, it is not a big problem for Zhang Xiu. There are only a few Xiliang cavalry running. If another one runs away, there will be a substitute, so it will not have any impact, so
Zhang Xiu has been developing his legion talents for the past year.
"So?" Pang De looked at Zhang Xiu and asked curiously.
"That's probably it." Zhang Xiu closed his eyes first, and then opened them again. At that moment, Pang De felt a purple light in front of him, and then he felt that he had been hit mentally.
"Witness Arrow?" Xu Huang looked at the dimmed purple luster in Zhang Xiu's pupils with some surprise. He had thought about how Zhang Xiu would develop his legion talent, but he never thought that he would develop it into something like Witness Arrow.
Outrageous stuff.
Baras's Witness Arrow is now considered a famous gadget among the three empires. Its lethality is average, but its outrageous control and suppression capabilities are among the first-rate gadgets among the elites of the empire.
"It doesn't count. I just realized something. The so-called eyes are the windows of the soul. Looking directly into the eyes is looking directly into the soul. My legion talent is actually the embodiment of will, but it is used in a different way."
Zhang Xiu opened his mouth to explain.
Compared with the one-foot-long Will Spear, the move currently used by Zhang Xiu is more unexpected. As for the lethality, it may not be as powerful as the Will Spear.
"This development direction is indeed beyond my expectations." Xu Huang said with admiration, "But this is fine. Talent development that exceeds expectations is the real talent development."
"Anyway, nothing happened. I just did some development. Last year, I summarized all my battles in the past ten years. It can be regarded as a solid accumulation. At least it has really improved a bit." Zhang Xiu felt better when talking about this.
After all, compared to other gadgets, this kind of thing belongs to him no matter what the situation is, and no one can take it away. After seeing Cao Cao's tricks to deceive people, Zhang Xiu also realized that compared to
For those things that can be taken away, you have to be strong enough.
"Actually, there are some other extensions, but they are not suitable for use here. In short, it is not a bad thing to stop and sort them out for a year. It is a joy in the pain." Zhang Xiu said with a smile, he was mentally prepared.
, if Cao Cao continues to cheat like this, he will go to Congling to inherit the family business. If he fails to start a business, he can return home and become a rich second generation. At least there will be a feudal state in the family for him to inherit.
"I didn't develop anything else. I just optimized the things I compiled before so that the tricks that were not easy to use can be used normally." Xu Huang said with a bit of a smile.
The Yang family has come to contact Xu Huang. Even though Xu Huang refused outright the first time, as the Yang family visited many times, Xu Huang had to admit that the Yang family did have something, but in the end Xu Huang still refused.
Yang family, but this rejection is actually equivalent to conditional consent.
The Yang family also accepted this. For the Yang family, now they have to wait for Cao Cao to collapse. If Cao Cao collapses, they can at least take over one of their former subordinates. Xu Huang seems to be not well-known and not strong, but the Yang family
They also have their own internal evaluation. Xu Huang is not weak, it can even be said to be very strong, but it is difficult for Xu Huang to show off his abilities under Cao Cao.
"I went to Mao Xiaoxian for help. He helped me develop some other military formations that can be combined with each other. Mainly because I can use them myself. I have completely mastered them recently, which can be considered progress." Pang De said cheerfully.
, he could not be clear about everything that happened under Cao Cao's rule, he just wanted to stick to the end.
This is also the reason why Pang De has not developed his legion talent. His legion talent is too demanding on his own faith and will. Under the current situation under Cao Cao's rule, Pound's faith and will are not as good as before, and the limit of what his legion talent can burst out.
On the contrary, the level has been weakened a lot.
So Pound went to Mao Jie to find some other way to make amends. Mao Jie also understood this. Not to mention Pound, Mao Jie himself had a great psychological impact.
"You all have made progress." Le Jin looked at the three of them and said with a bit of sadness, "I'm still a little behind here, I hope the follow-up time will be enough for me to finish."
"Take your time, who knows what will happen next." Zhang Xiu half-leaned on the chair and said, "The gatherings may need to be reduced in the future. Whose turn will it be next time?"
"It's my turn." Pound said.
"As soon as Cao Sikong came back, we got together, and it seemed like we were conspiring together." Xu Huang sighed and said, "I don't know if the situation can get better. Many of my subordinates have complained to me because of this matter.
, to be honest, I feel quite uncomfortable.”
"Cao Sikong is back, and the war is about to begin. Under the current situation, it is not certain whether my soldiers can perform at two-thirds of the level of the year before." Pang De was somewhat desperate, and the fluctuation of people's hearts is not a joke, it is true.
He was deeply dissatisfied with Cao Cao.
As for why they were dissatisfied, it was because the generals who wanted to kill Cao Cao had left here long ago when they saw no hope of killing Cao Cao, and most of the generals who had a good relationship with these people also left. And for this kind of thing,
Even the legion commander couldn't persuade him.
"Brother Xu, haven't you been to Kabul? How was it?" Pang De turned to look at Xu Huang and asked.
"It's not that good. Ardashir has capable people under his command. The Kabul Valley is managed in an orderly manner, and the situation is prosperous. I guess if this continues, all the local Yuezhi people will return to Ardashir.
"Xu Huang sighed and said, "It's not easy to fight, it's very difficult to fight."
"And from time to time, there will be one or two young generals who have never been seen before under Ardashir's command. From my observation, these generals are not great, but at least they are not bad. The opponent's combat power is gradually being supplemented.
To be honest, I'm really not optimistic if we continue to delay." Xu Huang said with a bit of tiredness. Unlike other generals who focused on the internal affairs, Xu Huang still had some ambition to make contributions.
