"Who among us has experience in commanding an army?" Cao Ang patted Cao Zhen on the shoulder, half to comfort Cao Zhen, and half to ask Xiahou Shang.
Xia Houshang was stunned and didn't know how to answer. The direct descendants of the Cao family in Chang'an are all very young. The oldest ones are him and Cao Ang, but they don't have the ability to command an army at all.
As for other generals, to be honest, there are none. Those who have the ability to command an army are considered to be high-level military officials. They basically went north with Cao Cao. Now, there are no generals left in Chang'an City who can truly command an army.
.
Most people in this world have to rely on hard work and experience to become generals. There are only a handful of natural generals in any era, and it is obvious that Cao Ang and Xia Houshang are not among them.
"Isn't that okay? Since no one can command troops, those of us who enjoy the shadow of our fathers, when we get to the battlefield, all we can do is lead our own bodyguards to take the lead and boost morale. In this case, who is different?"
Cao Ang said casually.
Sima Yi, who had seen the chaos in Chang'an before and hid among the people, waiting to see the outcome, couldn't help but look surprised when he heard Cao Ang's words. He didn't expect Cao Ang to be so magnanimous.
"How can it be like this? It's better to follow me and stick to the border of Sili and Bingzhou." Xia Houshang was shocked when he heard this.
"If we hold on, I don't know how many people will die under the iron cavalry of the Southern Huns. If we fight, the general will not be afraid of death, and the soldiers under his command will take their own lives!" Cao Ang said with a smile, without any fear on his face.
"It's just like this. Not only will you not be able to defeat the southern Xiongnu, you will not be able to save the north. You may even fall into it yourself, and you will also destroy a lot of Si Li's defensive power." Just as Cao Ang laughed, a voice came from beside him.
A mocking laugh.
Cao Ang's laughter stopped suddenly, and he kept coughing as if his throat was stuck and saliva was poured into his lungs.
"If you don't leave him alone, he might choke to death." Sima Yi glanced at the stunned Xiahou Shang beside Cao Ang and said coldly. Xiahou Shang was so frightened that he quickly gave Cao Ang some water.
"Huh..." Cao Ang finally recovered after drinking a full bamboo tube of water.
"Isn't this Sima Zhongda? Why did he come to seek refuge with us?" Xiahou Shang glanced at Sima Yi and said to him with a mocking smile.
"To be honest, you are actually the second generation, but I am the first generation." Sima Yi took out the seal ribbon given by Cao Cao from the side and shook it. "You don't even have spiritual talent. If I hadn't done anything there,
You might have been besieged to death long ago."
Xiahou Shang was stunned at first when he saw Sima Yi's token. Although he had a suspicious look on his face, the tyrannical energy that Sima Yi showed later made Xiahou Shang completely lose the qualification to refute. Before he could argue, his momentum was taken away by the opponent.
"You have spiritual talent?" Cao Ang looked at Sima Yi with a joyful expression, "Then do you have any good ideas?"
"Are you going to win, or are you going to defeat the Southern Xiongnu, or are you going to follow Duke Cao's footsteps and defeat the last enemy in northern Xinjiang in one battle?" Sima Yi said with a chuckle.
"Do you have a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Cao Ang looked excited. His biggest problem now is that he has too few troops and is unable to resist the hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu. Even if he fights for his own safety and takes the lead, he may not be able to defeat several groups.
The army.
"This kind of thing is very difficult for people below this level, but it is actually very simple for people of our level." Sima Yi said with a smile, "For us, the Southern Xiongnu who now have a huge force
It’s just a bunch of rabble.”
"Humph, what you say is better than what you sing." Xiahou Shang looked at Sima Yi with dissatisfaction and said. The other party's face, which was much younger than him, said such words, which really made Xiahou Shang very unhappy. Sima Yi was too young, so young.
Even Xia Houshang couldn't accept it.
"Is it better to talk than to sing? It will be obvious when we reach the border of Sili and Bingzhou. General Cao, do you have the emperor's documents?" Sima Yi looked at Cao Ang and asked.
"Yes." Cao Ang looked at Sima Yi and said. The other person's calm and composed demeanor, as well as the calmness and calmness when holding the seal and ribbon to identify himself, made Cao Ang certain that his father still left him considerable power in Chang'an City.
"First of all, you can rest assured that Chang'an cannot be captured. Even if the Southern Huns arrive, Chang'an cannot be captured. Although Zhong Shangshu doesn't care about trivial matters, he is Cao Sikong's back-up to control you and His Majesty.
So even if you and Bu Qihou and the others start a fight in Chang'an, someone will be able to control it." Sima Yi looked at Cao Ang and said with a slight smile.
"What about the soldiers? Being able to control both of us means that there are not a few soldiers." Cao Ang looked at Sima Yi in confusion and asked.
"Outside the city, no one can secretly train a strong army. Mao Zhong and Zao Xiaowei are not just for farming. What's more, the military camp has little fighting power in the hands of others, and it may not be without fighting in Mao Zhong's hands.
, there are four people near Chang'an City who have spiritual talents." Sima Yi looked at Cao Ang and said with a smile.
[In addition to the four of us, there is also Xu Zijiang as a guarantor. If the emperor can really take this opportunity to overwhelm Chang'an and win, the four of us plus Xu Zijiang will be the talisman of the Cao family, and they will give everything to the Cao family.
The emperor clarified.] Sima Yi thought silently.
But now, these arrangements are useless. Liu Xie has no hope of winning. The opponent's stupidity has left Sima Yi speechless.
Therefore, he, Zhong Yao, Yang Jia, and Mao Jie are no longer needed, and Xu Zijiang can go listen to music. Cao Cao and Xun Yu's arrangements have lost all value.
"Why does Mao Xiaoxian still have a large army there? This is great!" Cao Ang said excitedly, obviously not listening to Sima Yi's other words. Sima Yi could only shake his head silently.
"If you lead them, the field soldiers will just be a mob. Do you know why Mr. Mao and Mr. Zao have been in the field for so many years and rarely come out?" Sima Yi said with a sneer, but he had due respect for Mao Jie.
.
"Well, why?" Cao Ang was stunned, and then asked.
"Because Mr. Mao is activating his spiritual talent. I didn't know it before, but now he has definitely activated it." Sima Yi stared at Cao Ang and said, "And his talent is enough to give the mob a good fighting power, and your words, hum...
…”
Everyone could hear Sima Yi's disdain, but Cao Ang didn't care at all, "Then go and invite Mr. Mao to come, come with me and go north, and first defeat the southern Xiongnu."
"He won't leave. After you leave, he will be stationed in Chang'an to stabilize the situation. If you take away the army, have you ever thought about what will happen to the rest of the Cao family?" Sima Yi laughed sarcastically, "Don't take the rest of the people away.
