Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 54 Shocked
"Does the Ninth Secret of the Imperial Army have to call out?" Seeing the direction in which Hou Cheng disappeared, Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing next to him in puzzlement. Shame, what a second grader.

"The Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army were created by Han Xin, the soldier fairy, to check and balance items. For the convenience of dissemination, they all shouted out simple slogans. With the slogans, they mobilized the whole army's energy and mobilized the divine power in the army. Therefore, they must be shouted out. But there are also those who use this method to the extreme, and their words and deeds can affect the vitality of the whole army, so they don't need to use this method anymore." Cao Xing nodded.

Chu Nan nodded. When Lu Bu attacked Xiaopei, he just waved his hand casually, and the army ran like flying. That feeling was much better than Hou Cheng.

"By the way, General Cao, how many members of the Ninth Secret of the Imperial Army do you have?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

"The last general is dull, so far he can only comprehend the hidden characters!" Cao Xing said with a face of shame.

The Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army have nothing to do with talent, as long as they know the method, any general in the army can understand it, but this point is the test of understanding in terms of military use.

"What's the use?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

Cryptography is literal?
"It can conceal the aura of the army. If there is an environment to cover, such as dense forests, valleys and other suitable terrain for ambush, it can make the soldiers under the command blend with the surrounding environment. It is difficult for those without special abilities to detect it." Cao Xing bowed.

It turned out to be an old silver coin!

Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing with bright eyes. Although Cao Xing did not have the commander talent that Hou Cheng had to increase the speed of marching, but combined with his personal talent, this secret word is clearly a magic skill that is specially designed to kill the enemy's generals. !
No wonder it is said that any of the nine secrets of the marching army can be called a famous general if it is practiced to the extreme. He doesn't know what the nine secrets of the imperial army are like when it is cultivated to the extreme, but it is obviously not easy for others to detect. If it is practiced to the extreme, most generals will see If you don't come out, it means you can be a general in the dark world, not to mention invincible. After all, this secret word has strict requirements on the environment, but as long as the terrain is suitable, it is definitely the best weapon for the dark people.

"Then how is General Cao's practice?" Chu Nan and Cao Xing asked as they walked back.

"I'm ashamed, the general seems to be able to faintly sense the secret of the mountain character now, but he has been unable to display it." Cao Xing said impressively.

Chu Nan stopped suddenly and looked at Cao Xing seriously: "General Cao, although I don't understand the art of war, there are some principles that are common. If General Cao feels wrong, he can ignore it."

"What are you talking about, sir, please tell me." Cao Xing said with a bow.

"I think that most people in this world are not far from each other in terms of savvy. Does General Cao think so?" Chu Nan asked.

"Yeah." Cao Xing was a little dejected. Although he possessed talent, it wasn't a powerful talent. As for understanding... He has been in the army for many years, and he has only comprehended the first secret so far, which is really not very powerful.

"I think the Ninth Secret of the Imperial Army should be superior or inferior." Chu Nan thought about it.

Cao Xing nodded again. Advanced people like Lu Bu didn't need to call out passwords, and they could use the Nine Secrets without even moving.

"You said that if you were the chief general, there would be one who only practiced the first secret, but was quite proficient in it, and the other who comprehended the three secrets, but all the three secrets were only proficient?" Chu Nan asked seriously.

"If you lead an army alone, the person who comprehends the three secrets will be better, but if there is a special use, the corresponding one will be more powerful." Cao Xing is well aware that the cultivation of the nine secrets varies greatly, and the power varies greatly, just like Lu Bu back then. With the strength of one person, he can fight against all the heroes in the world before Hulaoguan, and no one can compete with him. Although Lu Bu has unparalleled military power in the world, but more importantly, Lu Bu's Ninth Secret of the Imperial Army was already quite powerful at that time.

Cao Xing was stunned, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Sir, do you want me to refine one?"

"I used to be a merchant. For me, a person who can weave, forge, carpentry, and masonry at the same time, but is not good at all of them, can't get much wages from me. After all, he was at the same time. There is only one thing I can do, and he can’t forge the iron for me when weaving, and the things he makes are far less exquisite than those made by people who are proficient in this way.” Chu Nan nodded: “After all, people’s energy is limited. If you know everything, you can't understand everything, of course, if you are gifted, the kind of genius who can master it as soon as you learn it, and you can master it after a while, I didn't say that."

Cao Xing nodded silently, and bowed to Chu Nan: "Thank you for your advice, sir."

It doesn't matter whether it is missing or not, but people at least show him the way.

"Just a word, the general thinks it's good for nature, but it's okay if it doesn't suit you." Chu Nan shook his head and smiled.

The two returned to their tents and went to rest. Mantis King spent most of the day going back and forth. Hou Cheng went to find out the truth this time, but he couldn't fly. Chu Nan estimated that he would not be able to come back until tomorrow, staying up all night. It's not good for your health, let Hou Cheng suffer.

When Chu Nan returned to the tent, he fell asleep and slept until dawn. The demon mantis had already returned. Seeing Chu Nan get up, he flew towards his shoulder. This place has almost become its exclusive position. Chu Nan had the illusion that he was the opponent's mount.

Just after waking up, Chu Nan lazily took care of it, and followed his routine, washing his face, rinsing his mouth, and going to the toilet...

"Sir, why are you here!?"

In the latrine, Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing who rushed in with an ugly expression, and said angrily, "Even if the sky falls, you have to wait until I get out."

"Oh~" Cao Xing quickly withdrew and waited outside the toilet.

After a while, Chu Nan came out of it with an irritable expression on his face. Going to the toilet in this day and age is really a pain. Among other things, he must get the paper out, otherwise calluses will grow in his softest place.

"What's the matter?" Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing with unkind eyes.

"Sir, General Hou has returned to the camp and is waiting in the tent." Cao Xing said with a bow.

"That's it?" Chu Nan said speechlessly.

The demon mantis is his own monster, and now the demon mantis is lying on his shoulders, will he not know that Hou Cheng is back?

Cao Xing looked at the demon mantis on Chu Nan's shoulder, and silently lowered his head.

"Let's go, finish the business and eat quickly." Chu Nan walked forward.

"Here!"

In the camp, Hou Cheng was already gesturing something on a fine map, and when he saw Chu Nan approaching, he quickly waved, "Zi Yan, come quickly, you must have no idea where those pirates are?"

"Probably not on an island." Chu Nan sat down and replied casually.

"How do you know?" Hou Cheng looked at Chu Nan in astonishment.

"If you were on the island, you wouldn't ask such a question, and if you were on the island, it would be difficult for the general to investigate." Chu Nan said casually.

"Not counting, do you know Tian Hengdao?" Hou Cheng asked.

"Yu Zhou?" Chu Nan looked up at Hou Cheng. This time, the astonishment on his face was real, mainly because this position is too special...
