Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 15 Thirty thousand moth thieves, the key to victory
For two full hours, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan kept their eyes fixed on these thick bamboo slips.

At this moment, it was three nights, and the two of them were not sleepy.

Seeing how excited they were, Cai Zhaoji was sleepy and her eyes were a little blurry.

Don't blame her, Cai Zhaoji was not keen on the art of war, how could he be like Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, who could feel the beauty of it all at once, and it was amazing.

It should be known that the "36 Tactics", which was interpreted by Lu Yu and written by Cai Zhaoji, was written by an anonymous author during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and each strategy was analyzed based on famous battles in history.

Condensed is the hard work of countless ancestors, gods of war, and sages. Compared with the military books of the late Han Dynasty, it is much more practical. In addition, because there are specific cases, it is easier to understand, not as obscure as the art of war in this era. Difficult to understand.

From this perspective, it is not too much to say that it is hundreds of years ahead of this era!

Of course, some of the familiar names mentioned in it were changed appropriately by Lu Yu, completely empty, and there would be no obstacle to understanding because of this.

Concealing the sky, waiting for labor, besieging Wei to save Zhao... These battle situations, perhaps Cao Ren and Xia Hou Yuan can also find some shadows in the previous military books, but... flowers blooming on the tree, fake idiots, empty city tactics, bitter meat tactics, these heart games, let Cao Ren and Xia Hou Yuan fight Benefit a lot, admire.

"Which plan does Miao Cai think is the best?"

Fascinated, Cao Ren couldn't help but ask Xiahou Yuan.

"Zixiao? How about you?"

"How about we both write on our hands and start it together?" Cao Ren suggested, preparing a brush and inkstone at the same time.

"It could not be better…"

Xiahou Yuan took over the pen and ink and wrote four characters on his hand, as did Cao Ren.

This time, the sleepy Cai Zhaoji cheered up. She was also curious as to which strategy the two generals valued the most in Yudi's "The Art of War".

"It turned out to be..." Cai Zhaoji paused slightly, surprised.

Because, in the two rough palms, the same four characters are written - the best way to go!
Walking is the best policy, when these four words come out, hahahaha... Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren both laughed out loud.

"Thirty-six tricks, it's the best strategy to act, and it's a wonderful talent... It seems that we are heroes who see the same thing!" Cao Ren smiled and patted Xia Houyuan on the shoulder.

Xiahou Yuan also laughed meaningfully.

Withdrawing troops, shouting gold, retreating, and forbearance, these originally negative rhetoric, because "walking is the best plan" suddenly have their own aura.

It is impossible for anyone to have the upper hand all the time in their entire life. When the situation is unfavorable, isn't it the most sensible move to avoid the enemy's edge and give in?
Of course, the analysis in "Going is the best strategy" is very clear and comprehensive. The essence of this strategy is not blindly escaping and avoiding difficulties, but a proper escape, so as to achieve the purpose of preserving oneself, reversing the unfavorable situation, and making it extremely peaceful.

...In just one night, the two generals Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan had come out of the grief of the defeat of the official army and the death of the Prime Minister of Jibei.

As for the reason...

Aside from "36 Strategies", the most important thing is the genius "Lu Yu", who brought not only the understanding of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "36 Strategies", but also brought great insights to Cao Ying. Hope, hope to turn the tide of battle in a precarious situation!
"Cough cough..."

Suddenly looking up, Xia Houyuan noticed that Cai Zhaoji was still beside them, and immediately patted his forehead, forgetting about it...

The two rough gentlemen were just reading at night, how could they let Miss Cai Yan be bored here?

Sorry, too rude!

"Miss Cai Yan, I'm sorry... Zixiao and I were fascinated... But I forgot about Cai Yan!"

"Come here, send Miss Cai Yan quickly..." Xia Houyuan had not yet blurted out a word, but the conversation changed immediately.

He even closed the bamboo slips of "36 Strategies", and stretched out his hand to signal. "Miss Cai Yan, I will pay you back personally!"

Respectful and courteous, is this still the general Qiao Pei Legion?

All the guards were stunned.

"I'm going with Miao Cai." Cao Ren also quickly closed the bamboo slip and took the initiative to lead the way...

This time... all the armored soldiers are even more dumbfounded.

In just one day's work, Miss Cai Yan has transformed from a woman who was not cared about in the military camp to a noble person personally escorted by the two generals. The change of attitude in the middle... is too mysterious!

"Two generals...I..."

"Miss Cai Yan, it's getting late, let's go."

Cai Zhaoji originally wanted to postpone it, but now the sky outside is already out of sight. To be honest, she is really scared.

In this way, under the escort of Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan... and a group of personal guards, Cai Zhaoji returned to the big tent.

After watching the two generals walk away, she turned around and lay back beside Lu Yu, looking at the little brother faintly.

Muttering to himself. "Brother Yu, sure enough, everything could not escape your expectations."

"As soon as "36 Strategies" comes out, we can't escape our happy days even if we escape."

Thinking of this, Cai Zhaoji stroked Lu Yu's cheek.

Such a handsome face, but there is still such a thorough heart for a moment.

With all kinds of blessings, for a moment, Cai Zhaoji only thought that Yudi was fascinating, but he was a little brother. In Cai Zhaoji's mind, Lu Yu was always a little brother!

Chenliu County, government office.

In addition to Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin were among the generals in the government office at the moment.

All of them were facing a coffin, and lowered their heads in silence. The body of Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei, was placed in the coffin.

This was finally found from the chaotic army, and his body has been fragmented and beyond recognition.

Crying, Cao Cao burst into tears.

He never cried lightly, and there are only four times recorded in history, and this time, it was the good brother and good comrade-in-arms who supported him the most-Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin!

"I'm at odds with the moth thief! We stand against each other! We don't share! Dai Tian!"

Cao Cao's fists couldn't help beating on the coffin. He couldn't bear to see Bao Xin's appearance, and the anger in his chest was already boiling.

When the princes of the Eighteenth Road were seeking Dong, Cao Cao was left chasing the poor bandits bravely, and the only one who supported him was Bao Xin;

When planning for Yanzhou, Bao Xin was the first to stand up for him to persuade various aristocratic families;

When Cao Cao was short of troops, Bao Xin handed over all the troops under his command from Yanzhou to him. With such kindness, how could he not let Cao Cao mourn endlessly?

At this moment, all he thinks about is to avenge his good brother, but in the face of 30 moth thieves in the territory, how can he avenge himself even if he cannot protect himself?

"Brother Bao, I, Cao Cao, know that you are dying, but the moth and thieves are so powerful? Where should I go?"

Cao Cao muttered to himself...

Hearing this, all the generals bowed their heads. They wanted to persuade Cao Cao, but they didn't know how to persuade him, so they could only be silent and say nothing.

Silence, the audible silence of the needle dropping went on for a long time!
But I saw Cao Cao took out a letter from his arms, which was the letter he sent when Chen Liu raised his army and called on the heroes of the world to punish Dong.

It's just that at this moment, he couldn't help but be confused. Was everything right or wrong at the beginning?

"When I first started my army, it was to eliminate riots in the world. When I was in adversity, I was led into the main Yanzhou by Yinlin. Originally, I wanted to protect the country and the people, but I didn't want my siblings and my soldiers to die in a foreign land... I Cao Cao's sins are not trivial. ."

"Perhaps Yin Lin misjudged my Cao Cao in the past, and Yuedan Ping also misjudged my Cao Cao. Although I have the heart to protect the environment and the people, I have no ability to calm down the troubled world. I am ashamed of Brother Bao and the soldiers under his command!"

The failure to conquer the Yellow Turbans and the tragic death of his brother made Cao Cao have deep doubts about himself. He even felt that he was not worthy to enter Yanzhou and let his brothers entrust all the soldiers under his command.

Well, it's normal for people to doubt themselves in times of adversity, even Cao Cao can't avoid it.

But at this moment.

"Big brother, big brother..."

Cao Ren came in a hurry and saw Cao Cao's sad expression at a glance. "Miao Cai and [-] Qiao Pei soldiers are about to arrive in Chenliu County. I'll come first to report to Big Brother!"

"Brother, we found a peerless young man in Qiao Pei's army. Before the big brother conquered the moth thieves, he boldly predicted that the battle would be defeated, and in his chest was hidden the key to defeating 30 moth thieves!"

Cao Ren's voice was not loud, and his tone was also very gentle.

However, as soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Especially Cao Cao, his eyes suddenly released a dazzling light, this is a bloodthirsty gleam that only flickers in his eyes when he sees hope in a desperate situation!
