Cao Cao drank a last bowl of wine and prepared to say goodbye.
After all, tensions were rising below Puyang City. The soldiers of the three armies were in short supply of food and grass, and people were in panic. The military advisers and generals were even more tit-for-tat because of Tian's request to surrender. It was time to go back and take charge of the overall situation and make the most correct decision.
But he just stood up.
However, Cao Cao noticed that Cao Ren was winking at him continuously.
Oh, I almost forgot, there is another urgent matter!
Cao Cao immediately understood what Cao Ren meant. He was reminding Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian!
This guy, relying on his unparalleled martial arts skills, rushes left and right in the battle formation, as if he is in a deserted place. If this point is not solved, capturing Puyang, even if it is a surprise attack, may not be possible in a single battle!
This is a big change, a big change that can change the battlefield.
With this in mind, Cao Cao turned around again. "Brother Yi, I forgot something!"
"It's okay to hide it from brother!" Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"Before, I rushed to Puyang with Cao Jun, and I also watched the battle between Cao and Lu in the city of Puyang..." Cao Cao's face darkened, looking quite troubled. "There is a reason why Cao Jun has never been victorious..."
"Lu Bu?"
Before Cao Cao could pronounce Lu Bu's name, Yi Xiaotian spoke first. "I guess this Lu Bu has caused a lot of trouble to Cao Cao, right?"
"Brother Yi is indeed a mastermind." Cao Cao nodded heavily. "It's a great trouble."
"To be honest with Brother Yi, if it weren't for the armor and horse equipment purchased from Brother Yi, Cao's army would have formed a well-equipped armored tiger and leopard cavalry. I'm afraid Cao's army wouldn't have been able to survive the battle in Puyang!"
Cao Cao is telling the truth...
Lu Bu was so brave that among all the generals under his command, none of them could match him.
When two armies are fighting, the bravery of the commander-in-chief can infect and improve the morale of the three armies. If we win, we will lose each other. This battle is not easy to win.
"What do you mean by hiding it from brother?" Yi Xiaotian asked back.
"Brother Yi has insight into all things and must know that in this world, who can rival Lu Bu!"
Cao Cao blurted out, seeming to think that the word "rival" was a bit strong. After all, Lu Bu's reputation as a "flying general" was well known, and his unparalleled martial arts skills were well known to the world. Looking at the world, who could be his opponent?
With this in mind, Cao Cao quickly changed his mind. "In fact, there is no need to fight, as long as Lu Bu can be held back!"
"Confront? Hold back?"
Yi Xiaotian put his hand on his chin, thought for a moment, then "blinked" his eyes and groaned subconsciously.
"One Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei!"
Well…
One Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei? Four passes, five horses, six Zhang Fei?
Cao Cao was stunned. Yi Xiaotian's casual words made him think a lot. Why is there Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide's name?
Could it be that this is... a ranking list of warriors?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao asked urgently, "Brother Yi? Are you talking about the ranking of powerful generals?"
"Yes..." Yi Xiaotian nodded, but soon shook his head again... "No..."
This ambiguous answer made Cao Cao a little confused...
However, this is not Yi Xiaotian’s fault.
After all, there are many versions of the rankings regarding the combat prowess of the Three Kingdoms generals, and there are many factors that need to be considered.
For example, whether a military commander corresponds to his peak period, growth period or decline period;
Another example is the restraint relationship between generals and weapons. If you go back and forth like this, the ranking will change a lot!
Therefore, Yi Xiaotian hesitated for a while, and his answer was ambiguous.
Of course.
Lu Bu is the well-deserved number one in the rankings. As for Changshan Zhao Zilong, who is ranked second, this is Tong Yuan's disciple, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ren's younger brother. At this time, he should still be stuck in the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear Technique he inherited from his master.
Are you going? As for the subsequent creation of the Seven Exploration Panlong Spear Technique, it seems that it will take a few more years...
Not to mention the difficulty of recruiting him, the fight between Zhao Yun and Lu Bu at this time is a bit like walking a tightrope - taking risks out of desperation!
So, Dian Wei, ranked third...
call…
When thinking of Dian Wei, Yi Xiaotian took a deep breath.
This is an early war general, no different from Lu Bu. He is one of the best in the early Three Kingdoms. He is extremely powerful. The power of a tiger dancing with two halberds may not be incomparable to Lu Bu's Fangtian painted halberd!
Yes, it’s Dian Wei!
It's hard to say whether Dian Wei at his peak can match Lu Bu at his peak, but there will definitely be no problem if he holds him back!
"Brother Hide..." Suddenly, Yi Xiaotian trembled and stood up suddenly. "I really know someone who can rival the flying general Lu Bu in terms of martial arts! In terms of strength, he is even better than Lu Bu!"
Hmm... He's stronger than Lu Bu? Is there really such a strong general in the world?
"Who is it?" Cao Cao asked urgently, with an urgent light shining in his eyes.
"Chen Liuren, Dian Wei!" Yi Xiaotian read out his name directly. "This person was formerly a subordinate of Cao Cao's old classmate Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao had an affair with Lu Bu and was executed. His tribe was also included in the
Cao Cao’s military camp, Dian Wei is no exception!”
this…
Cao Cao's eyes shone brightly, and he dared to look for him thousands of times in the crowd. This man was at the camp of Cao's army.
All of a sudden, Cao Cao grinned and wanted to laugh...
But then I thought about it, that’s not right. If there is such a person with such outstanding martial arts skills in the military camp, he definitely shouldn’t be unknown...
Cao Cao issued orders seeking talents several times in a row, and it was common to select generals from military camps. Wouldn't this talent be buried?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's cheeks showed some doubts.
"Brother Yi, can this Dian Wei really rival Lu Bu?"
The tone of this question was raised. Obviously, Cao Cao had no confidence in Dian Wei, a figure who was unknown and unrevealed in the army. How could he have extraordinary martial arts hidden in him?
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Yi Xiaotian laughed out loud. "Brother Hide, I dare not guarantee anything else. There will be no general in Cao Ying whose martial arts is better than Dian Wei's!"
Huo, what a high rating!
Cao Cao was startled. Yi Xiaotian seemed to rarely give such high praise to others, right?
The last time, the person who gave a similar evaluation was Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo who had just made great achievements in defending Yanzhou!
"Brother Yi?" Cao Cao was still suspicious of Dou. "Is there something wrong? There is a unique process for selecting brave soldiers in Cao's camp. If this Dianwei is really outstanding, he shouldn't be unknown?"
"That's not surprising..."
Facing Cao Cao's doubts, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand lightly.
"Brother, you only know one thing but not the other. This Dianwei was originally Zhang Miao's tribe, and Zhang Miao himself wanted to hide it? How could he be willing to recommend it to Cao Cao? As for now, Zhang Miao has been executed.
Dian Wei was incorporated into Cao Jun's camp. It was inevitable that he would be ostracized by many parties because of his past status, and he would be placed in the kitchen. What about the logistics team? In a place like this? How can he make meritorious deeds? How can he stand out?"
Phew...that's it!
These words reached Cao Cao's ears, and Cao Cao thought it made sense.
When he was young, he went to conquer the Yellow Turbans, but was ostracized by many parties because of his status as a eunuch. This world is a worldly world of utilitarianism, so how can a mere military camp be exempt from this?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao bowed his hands...
"Listening to Brother Yi today is better than reading ten years of reading! Without further ado, I will present Brother Yi's plan to Cao Cao. Now that we have food, generals, and strategies to attack the city, the battle of Puyang
, Cao Jun will definitely win!"
After saying this, Cao Cao looked deeply at Yi Xiaotian, his eyes full of gratitude!
At this time, Yi Xiaotian also looked at him...
Hahaha…
The two looked at each other and laughed, saying nothing.
