Cao Cao's personal abilities actually tend to be comprehensive. You can look down on Cao Cao's personal morality and qualities, but you will never ignore his personal abilities.

In this regard, Liu Tong is quite conscious.

Even from a historical perspective, if we ignore the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Hanzhong, the combat experience and achievements shown by Cao Cao during his youth and prime are definitely among the best in history.

Even if he is listed among the Ten Philosophers because of this, it is not impossible.

It was only because of these two wars that Cao Cao was brought down from the altar, especially the subsequent Battle of Hanzhong, in which he lost to his old rival Liu Bei, which was the main reason for the drastic drop in his evaluation.

But even so, it does not mean that Cao Cao is weak and does not understand military affairs.

But under such subjective conditions, the other party still made such choices and behaviors. Liu Tong said that he was a little confused.

As for the military aspect, Si Niang, who basically could only play a supporting role, also had considerable self-awareness and did not give any opinions that might be misleading. Instead, she remained silent and chose to listen.

In fact, for Cao Cao at this time, making such a choice was also due to his inner helplessness.

Of course, with the advice of everyone and personal subjective choice, he also knew what kind of legion his own forces lacked and was willing to build one for it.

It can be said that Cao Cao invested a huge amount of money in building the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, in order to shape it into a benchmark for the entire force, enough to support and protect the continuation of the entire force.

If this legion was originally created in order to rebuild the world, then for Cao Cao at this time, owning such a legion was to ensure better inheritance in the future.

The power in his hands can be used to expand the territory, and he is confident that it can be passed on perfectly while he is alive.

But what about the future?
What about the descendants of the descendants? Can they really protect the foundation they created?

Perhaps under the current suppression of the Han Empire, peace can be maintained for a period of time, but can it still be maintained after many years?

Making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, as well as the theory of diplomacy and strategy, all reveal another situation, that is, the future world will inevitably be one of great competition. Without sufficient strength, one will not even be qualified to sit at the table.

So whether for the future or for the present, Cao Cao needs a force that can represent the Cao family and a force that can intimidate everyone.

There are so many troops sent out, and in fact most of them are for escort, giving the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry a chance to escape when the situation becomes most difficult.

Of course, if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry discovered this kind of cover, their mentality would inevitably change, and they would naturally lose the shackles of their souls and their will to sublimate.

So Cao Cao handed this matter over to Xiahou Dun without notifying Cao Chun.

At the same time, in order to cover up and conceal Xiahou Dun's behavior and travel purpose, Pang De and Ma Chao also appeared on the list.

Pang De, a person of the same type, can cover up Xiahou Dun's behavior to a large extent. As for Ma Chao's army, it was not Cao Cao's original intention.

It was only because of Ma Chao's personal opinion and eagerness to fight that Cao Cao changed his mind and allowed him to join.

After making these external cover-ups and concealments, Cao Cao also gave Xiahou Dun a very terrifying casualty indicator number, which made Xiahou Dun, who was accustomed to injuries and deaths, feel surprised.

However, his loyalty to Cao Cao also made Xiahou Dun accept such a mission and goal. On this basis, he led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the reserve army, under the command of the corps commander Cao Chun, a team of nearly 7,000 people, and set out on the journey westward.

"I'm leaving, Anmin. Please take care of our lord's safety." Cao Chun looked at Cao Anmin who came to see him off, and then looked at Cao Cao who was watching him from a distance. His tone was so calm.

"Zihe, be careful on this way. An opponent that they value so much must be very strong. It's always better to be careful and prudent." Cao Anmin nodded, as if accepting the task, and at the same time gave cautious instructions.

"How strong can they be? Stronger than the soldiers beside you?" Hearing this, Cao Chun glanced at the soldiers around Cao Anmin and said with a hint of envy in his eyes, "Although there are only a few hundred people, the strength they possess is enough to be called the strongest army in the world."

"Since the other party can be called an empire, it must have corresponding strength..." Cao Anmin directly pointed out the other party's identity and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't say much, Cao Chun also understood what Cao Anmin said.

The other side is an empire. Were the former Huns not also an empire?
However, when facing that opponent, the results and records he submitted could be said to be a blatant failure, a reality that could not be changed no matter how many reasons and objective realities there were.

And he didn't need such a reason to explain his incompetence.

If you lose, you lose. Why give so many excuses?

He is still alive, and he still carries the expectations and entrustment of so many people. Naturally, he has to move forward firmly and defeat one opponent after another.

Use the purest reality to rewrite the shame of past failures.

Looking at Cao Chun's determined eyes, Cao Anmin didn't say much. He patted Cao Chun's shoulder hard, as a way of conveying his blessings.

The legion that once defeated Cao Chun actually fell into his hands to a certain extent, even though he was just one person among the crowd.

Until now, when Cao Anmin recalls the past, he still cannot understand how he won when the gap in strength between the enemy and us was so huge.

Cao Anmin also understood something: only understanding the surface phenomena and processes but being unable to see through the underlying reasons.

That is, when it comes to commanding troops, his talent may be really average.

If he and Cao Chun had swapped places, perhaps Cao Chun would have already fulfilled his lord's expectations.

After all, each of the people who once went north together has made great progress, and that earth-shaking change has had a huge impact on Cao Anmin's heart.

In fact, Cao Anmin, who thought he had no talent, was already a mature, steady and capable general in Cao Chun's eyes.

However, because of past performance, Cao Chun did not express his own comments and opinions.

Where does a defeated general get the courage and confidence to evaluate a victorious general?
The principles of military strategy are very simple from beginning to end.

Strong is strong, weak is weak, how to judge strong and weak?

It's very simple. The results of the battles give you the confidence and self-confidence to speak. (End of this chapter)
