Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 150 Look, let me just say that Junhou is narrow-minded
"Really? What's the news?" Xu Zhen asked solemnly.

"Dong Cheng assassinated the lord and sent out assassins, but he was found by the school officials and all of them were shot to death."

"So my lord cleaned the court and checked all the officials of the Han Dynasty. Oh, it's a good thing you ran fast." When Dian Wei said this, he could see that he was quite ashamed.

When I heard the news just now, my heart still trembled. This is equivalent to bloodbathing those old Han officials, and even heard that they killed the concubines in the palace.

"That's it," Xu Zhen raised her proud chin.

This is all thanks to Jia Xu's advice, otherwise Dong Cheng and others would not have been forced to act early, and they could have stayed out of the way and watched the storm in Xudu.

"Brother, do you think too much? Even if you are in Xudu, father will never do anything to you, and if mother is so protective of brother, she will always speak out."

At this moment, Cao Ang was dumbfounded by Xu Zhen's expression.

"Well," Xu Zhen nodded and said yes, Mrs. Cao's wife was really kind to him, especially Mrs. Bian, maybe she wanted Xu Zhen to help teach Cao Pi in the future.

But although Xu Zhen likes Cao Pi, he can't teach him anymore, after all, he already has Zixiu.

After a few more years, it would be fine to teach Cang Shu.

Teach him to open the city gate wide to let the assassins escape, teach him not to play with snakes in his life, and stay away from snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"Oh, Eldest Young Master, Junhou is just joking, I've been used to it for a long time."

"That's about all the news I've heard, there's nothing else I want to hear," Dian Wei pouted.

"The next step is to attack Lu Bu." Cao Ang and Xu Zhen mounted their horses together and headed for the barracks.

Xu Zhen came out of the government office at this time instead of going back to the backyard, most likely to go to the military camp to practice martial arts.

"Yes, no matter how the outside world is, you and I should keep our hearts and plan for the long-term."

Xu Zhen's voice amplified a little, "Zixiu came out as a foreign minister, and he should focus on popular support and self-discipline."

"The reason why the lord is willing to kill and bear the infamy is also to let Zixiu bear the reputation of being clean and bright, so that he can be a master in the future. He has already shouldered the crime, and Zixiu should cherish his feathers even more."

"Zixiu has been taught!" Cao Ang pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized that he really did not think of this meaning.

And Xu Zhen can see through the matter immediately after hearing the news, which is amazing.

These years, following Xu Zhen's side, Cao Ang clearly felt that Xu Zhen had become stronger not only in martial arts.

Moreover, his mind became clearer and more rigorous, and he thought more quickly about many things.

Thinking, thinking, and can remember many past things at any time.

not simple.

Cao Ang would never be able to learn these seemingly innate abilities.

In the past few years, he has been following Xu Zhen's footsteps. Although Zhuge Liang said that he would give up after a while, Cao Ang is still unwilling and wants to keep up as much as possible.

Even if what he does every day is only half of Xu Zhen's, he will never be left behind too much in the future.

Xu Zhen's idea, on the other hand, was simpler.

Whether Xu is chaotic or not, Lao Cao has the final say, but Xu Zhen can't stop Liu Bei if he wants to run.

That being the case, then accept this result. Xu Zhen has always been extremely calm about this matter.

Because it will give him enough time to become more stable, not only in terms of attribute bonuses.

With the improvement of these abilities in all aspects, Xu Zhen's demeanor, temperament, vision, etc. will all change accordingly.

If it is said that in the past, it was biased towards the Confucian scholars in Tibet, and the scribes who secretly offered advice to live in peace.

The current Xu Zhen, with the improvement of both bravery and wit, has gradually become more like a Confucian general.

And because of his high command and charm, Confucian generals gave birth to some heroic figures.

In this way, it is still unknown how it will change in the future, but for Xu Zhen, the more time the better.

After all, when danger strikes, no one likes to deal with it in a hurry and uneasy.

On this point, Xu Zhen was probably influenced by Cao Cao, and learned these dispositions invisibly, and the two are very similar.

Even when there is no danger, he likes to pretend that danger is in pursuit of being prepared.

Sometimes, it is also called paranoia.

Of course, in extremely coincidental situations, being suspicious can really save a life...

After a while.

When Xu Zhen arrived at the barracks, [-] new recruits practiced in the open fields. Due to limited materials, these people only put on simple light armor.

Ordinary standard long knives, spears, bows and arrows.

Large shield soldiers, sword shield soldiers, spear shield soldiers, etc. each selected hundreds of people and are forming new elite soldiers.

There are a total of 4 people under his command. Xu Zhen has already made plans in his heart since he knew this data.

After all, setting up soldiers and horses to protect the homeland for the people has been busy for a long time, and it will definitely trigger an extremely rare time-limited task.

Of course there will be more rewards in the future.

Xu Zhen herself is not warlike, and is a dog.

But if you want to be profound, you must have enough strength to survive in the long run.

The soldiers and horses under his command are loyal and loyal, and his martial arts are the best. The more powerful he is, the more he can hold on. In the future, he will be a backer, lead the army to sit in a certain place, and have a few sons.

Enjoy peace in the world.

Military training became the top priority at this time.

It's time to train with Cao Ang.

"See son! Junhou!!"

Outside the barracks, the uniform shouts made Xu Zhen see the mental outlook of months of practice.

After he got off his horse, he didn't immediately go to the martial arts arena to practice his personal martial arts.

Instead, he called Zhuge Liang and went into the big tent alone to inquire.

"So far, how much iron, how many weapons, how many minerals, how many veins in Jiujiang?"

"Thirty thousand catties of iron feet, three thousand knives for soldiers, three thousand swords, three thousand long spears, three thousand long halberds, two thousand large shields, five thousand round wooden shields, five hundred cavalry spears, and what the princes want Full armor... thirty pairs."

"Why only thirty?"

The previous ones are fine, but when it comes to the full-scale armor, it suddenly collapses like this.

"The main reason is that there are no good war horses."

Zhuge Liang frowned in embarrassment, "Comprehensive armor, what the lord wants is to wrap the horse's face."

"From the horseshoe, to the horseback armor, to the head armor, and the iron chain skirt of the horse's body, etc., it should weigh eighty catties, while a man riding a war horse, wearing armor, holding a weapon, and carrying a load should weigh about three pounds. Hundred catties."

"In this way, short-term marches with war horses are fine, but good horses are necessary for long-term marches."

"Otherwise, marching and fighting will consume a lot of energy, and some horses wear horse masks, and they don't want to run with all their strength when running."

"Oh..." Xu Zhen frowned, his heart skipping a beat.

I didn't expect that there would be so many troubles when it was set up on the spot.

It seems that it is not easy to build an armored cavalry, but once it can be assembled, it will definitely become a great weapon on the battlefield in the future.

Armored cavalry is more capable of charging than heavy armored cavalry.

Moreover, the harness made now is already considered light, and the Tiefutu's armor is a full 120 kilograms.

Mainly based on real thick armor, Xu Zhen's is still a combination of plate armor and light armor.

But still can't find a suitable horse.

The war horses he owns now are all used by Qingqi. When Li came to fight, he carried about [-] catties of people and objects on his back.

It's still okay.

The heavy cavalry is about three hundred catties.

To complete the formation of armored cavalry, Xu Zhen estimated that he would need to carry 350 catties during the war.

It must also have the speed of marching.

We must find a way to get war horses.

"Thirty is thirty," Xu Zhen finally sighed, and put his thoughts on Cao Ang's tiger ride.

If you can exchange for hundreds of heavy riding horses, you can just meet your needs.

But of course I can't speak out now.

"First divide the shield soldiers, equip them with generals for drills, lead generals, etc., and distinguish them by battalion numbers."

"After they are separated, let them choose the name of the camp and send it up."

"Here!"

"Then these thirty heavy cavalry...what are they called?" Zhuge Liang tentatively asked, "Well... students think that the full-face armor is mostly bright silver, and the sewing of the cloth robes is mostly white robes. Just like Ruixue spread, and the horse galloped up, exhaled into strands, and its nostrils suddenly enlarged, just like the nose of a legendary dragon."

"Why don't we call it Daxue Longqi?"

Xu Zhen: "..."

"Choose a name blindly!" Xu Zhen immediately gave Zhuge Liang a look, and took the name if it could be called indiscriminately, you curse me for my shoulders and feet to be lame in the future, right?

These thirty cavalry were chosen to be the elite among the elite, and they must be his own guards. Xu Zhen said calmly: "You don't need to be loud, just be more pragmatic, just call them armored cavalry."

"okay……"

Zhuge Liang bowed down with a smile on his face.

Although we still don't know the specific ability and utility of this soldier and horse, but with his imagination, Zhuge Liang understands that what Xu Zhen wants is to be invulnerable to both the war horse and a knight with superb spear skills on the horse.

Once such sergeants become popular, there are thousands of them, and they will surely be able to easily break through tens of thousands of soldiers, and they will be invincible.

"But Junhou..." Zhuge Liang said with a wry smile, "I think if I want to satisfy your request, I'm afraid the horse can only go to Xiliang horse."

These years, Xiliang's war horses have gained a lot of prestige. Back then, Dong Zhuo's flying bear army was so powerful that the princes were afraid. Most of them were tall and mighty war horses with aggressive temperament.

Once this kind of war horse is on the battlefield, it will gallop endlessly, and will not flee cowardly until exhausted.

Xiliang horses are famous for being fast and easy to fight. Because there are many horse ranches outside the Great Wall, thousands of horses are produced every year, which is most beneficial to cavalry.

"To put it lightly, return Xiliang horses! This place is thousands of miles away from Xiliang, how can you cross dozens of passes to buy horses?"

Jiujiang is really too far away, and it takes almost half of the Han territory to reach the border of Xiliang.

"Wait—" After saying this, Xu Zhen himself fell into confusion, then raised his brows suddenly, and clapped his hands with a smile, "Hahaha! There are really Xiliang war horses!"

"Where is it?"

"Guangling next door!" Xu Zhen's eyes suddenly turned sharp, because he remembered that the main force of the tens of thousands of Bingzhou tigers and wolves brought out by Lu Bu's command was horses.

Regardless of defeat or victory in these years, what he values ​​most in siege is also the ability of cavalry horses.

Even if he is forced to be in Guangling now, he still has thousands of elite cavalry, and he personally leads one.

The other was led by his general Zhang Liao.

Every time the two fight, they can lead cavalry to make meritorious deeds, and even though they have been defeated repeatedly.

However, both Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's cavalry were still victorious, with high morale and a solid morale.

"Guangling... the terrain is flat, with water and land intertwined, which is not conducive to farming. Counting the time, Lu Bu should be short of food now."

Zhuge Liang said pointedly.

With a slight smile on Xu Zhen's face, he exchanged a glance with Zhuge Liang. Both of them seemed to have a plan in mind, and the plan might be quite simple but effective.

With the victory in hand, you can do whatever you want.

……

At night, Xu Zhen and Zhao Yun fought alone.

Xu Zhen held the ring sword, while Zhao Yun used the long spear.

There were more than two hundred rounds overnight.

Zhao Yun's gun shadows continued and took the lead, but every time Xu Zhen pushed aside and resisted safely.

He holds the ring-shouldered knife very firmly, and swings it like a black shadow passing by, but the moves are very simple, every time he resists the vital point, it is easy and freehand.

After [-] rounds, Zhao Yun's physical strength gradually decreased and the spear's shadow became slower and slower. Xu Zhen saw the timing between Zhao Yun's sweeping shots, stepped forward, and his figure was as fast as a snake out of the hole.

In an instant, he was in front of him, and he handed the knife forward and slashed down.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Yun's change of move. He swept across and turned his back to Xu Zhen. At the same time, he took a step forward, lowered his waist and stabbed again.

The long spear pierced from the top of his face like lightning, and just hit Xu Zhen's elbow. If it was not a wooden spear but had an iron tip, it should be able to pierce Xu Zhen's forearm.

At this time Xu Zhen was dumbfounded.

[You have completed a battle, the result: defeat. 】

[Adversary level: close to equal]

[Get "Self-discipline Value +10"]

[Obtain "Ring first knife proficiency +0.7%"]

[Your thirteen-game winning streak has been terminated. 】

Xu Zhen stared at Zhao Yun, as if he couldn't figure it out.

You, you dare to beat your immediate boss! ?

ah? !Are you breaking your boss' winning streak? !
Zhao Yun was sweating profusely, turned over immediately, rubbed his waist at the same time, clasped his fists with admiration on his face and said: "Your Majesty's martial arts are also advanced, which really makes Zilong admire."

"The so-called heaven rewards hard work can be said to be vividly reflected in the princes and marquises."

Speaking of this, he sighed, looked into the distance and said: "This move is my own idea. It is a method of probing snakes and coiling guns. It is originally used to save lives, lure the enemy to go deep, and then catch them by surprise to turn over. And the thorn, like a snake letter, is quite sinister."

"Zilong thought that he would never be able to use this move in his life. Originally, I was inseparable from Junhou, but today, since Junhou has seen this move, I will be invincible in the future."

Although Zhao Yun revealed his truth, he didn't seem to care. On the contrary, he was really happy. He was really happy for Xu Zhen's continuous improvement in martial arts.

"It's so tempting!" After Xu Zhen trembled at the corner of his mouth, his face suddenly became solemn, "You can be called a master if you can see Zilong's spear skills."

"Don't dare, dare not, it's just that Zilong doesn't have many skills that he can be proud of, and it's probably the only one that will accompany him for a lifetime."

"Zilong's marksmanship is good at luring, and marching should be like this. I want to order you to lure the enemy out."

Xu Zhen immediately smiled confidently.

The best candidate has been found, and the enemy is lured out, and the horse will be won first. How can those who are short of food resist this temptation.

Dian Wei saw it clearly from a distance, and immediately whispered to Zhuge Liang: "Liangzi, look, I say your master is narrow-minded, and you will start torturing Zilong if you lose."

"Dian Wei, what are you talking about!" Xu Zhen stared at him.

"I said that although the prince is defeated, he looks like a dragon."

"Oh," Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at him, then looked at Zhao Yun with a smile.
