Chapter 420 Catfish Effect, Baima Yicong!
In Cao Cao's understanding, Guan Yu is like a catalyst. When others are first-rate generals, he is a famous general. As long as you can survive in a battle with him, you can get the reward of famous general points. But now, he is the only legendary general, and others are only famous generals and first-rate generals. If you survive under him, you can get more legendary general points.

This sounds like a good way to gain legendary general points, but only Cao Cao knows how difficult it is for a famous general to survive the hands of a legendary general. If it weren't for Wu Pu, and if the tomb-raiding lieutenant hadn't accidentally obtained the Nine-Leaf Tianshan Snow Lotus, Dian Wei and Xu Chu would probably be corpses now.

Therefore, in Cao Cao's view, these legendary general points given are definitely not too many. Surviving from the hands of legendary generals as a famous general is no less difficult than killing several famous generals, so it is reasonable to add so many.

Now Guan Yu and other famous generals are like the catfish effect. These famous generals, first-class generals, are all sardines. Without the catfish to motivate and oppress them, they will gradually lose their lives, but once a catfish enters among them, they will all become active. Now this catfish is Guan Yu.

Because of Guan Yu's appearance, all the famous generals became active like sardines welcoming a catfish.

The so-called uncovering all the spies, or exchanging these undercovers for first-class war horses, were all just preparations for proposing this gamble. He was ready to give it a try and let Dian Wei and Xu Chu gain some legendary general points under Guan Yu's oppression. He had already felt the pressure from Guan Yu, especially what Gu Rubing had just said, that if they couldn't deal with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, it was simply because their generals were not strong enough.

This made Cao Cao make his final decision. Originally, he didn't want to take such a risk. Even with Wu Pu there, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were still in danger of death when facing Guan Yu. Even if only one of them died, it would be a devastating blow to Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao still decided to take this gamble. On the surface, it seemed to be a gamble between Cao Cao and Gu Rubing, but in fact it was a gamble between Cao Cao and the god of death.

If he only relied on killing first-rate generals and famous generals, how long would it take to be promoted to a legendary general? Maybe before the two of them were promoted to legendary generals, he would be dealt with by Liu Bei first, and then he would have no place to cry.

Therefore, Cao Cao made up his mind to make this bet, hoping to win a chance of survival. Before, he only cared about strengthening his own army. Gu Rubing's words just now enlightened him. In this game world, many things cannot follow the rules of the real world. Military strength is important, but even if he takes down all of Gu Rubing's men, what will happen? Guan Yu is still a mountain that he cannot overcome.

If Liu Bei died in his hands, Guan Yu would probably hunt him down for the rest of his life. The thought of being stared at by a legendary general made Cao Cao break out in a cold sweat. He might not even dare to sleep at that time. There was only one way to solve all this, that is, to have a legendary general under his command, and then all problems would be solved.

With a nervous mood, Cao Cao and Gu Rubing and his party came to the parade ground. Cao Cao and Gu Rubing sat on both sides of the platform. Cao Cao suppressed his nervousness and spoke.

"King Lie, let me introduce you. These are General Fa Qiu and Lieutenant Mo Jin. They are my personal soldiers. Ever since they heard about the bravery of the soldiers under King Lie's command, they all wanted to see them and learn from them. I also hope that King Lie can give them some advice."

Hearing these two names, Gu Rubing's pupils constricted. He was very familiar with these two names. Fa Qiu Zhonglang Jiang and Mo Jin Xiao Wei, aren't they all tomb robbers? There are records of these two armies in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Fa Qiu Zhonglang Jiang was responsible for finding the tomb and exploring the feng shui, while Mo Jin Xiao Wei was responsible for going into the tomb and taking out all the gold, silver and treasures inside.

Generally, the bigger the tomb, the stronger the mechanisms it has, which requires very high skills from the tomb raiders. So Gu Rubing knew without even thinking that these two armies should be special forces, and at least they should be special forces like the Younu Lieutenant, which have a higher starting point than special forces such as the Qinglong Lieutenant's swordsmen.

However, there was no panic on Gu Rubing's face. Although the Captain of the Wandering Crossbows, the Bai Li Soldiers, the Qinglong Swordsmen and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun did not come, a stronger wave came.

It has been nearly twenty days since Gu Rubing returned to Qingzhou. During these twenty days, Gu Rubing only did one thing, which was to let Wei Yan retrain almost all the soldiers. Only a few special types of soldiers were not retrained. Gu Rubing's purpose was to let these soldiers serve under Wei Yan and learn about Wei Yan's ability to nurture his soldiers well. Although the bonus is not high, a mosquito is still meat, and Gu Rubing still understands this principle.

In fact, these are not important. The most important thing is to increase the probability of transferring to a special type of soldier. The free bonus is just a by-product.

And the final result did not disappoint Gu Rubing. After a round of clearing, someone finally triggered the job transfer task of a special soldier. This person was none other than Zhao Yun, who had followed Gu Rubing for a long time. Zhao Yun had always served as Gu Rubing's personal bodyguard, which caused Zhao Yun to often miss some major battles. This was also the reason why he had not been promoted to a famous general.

However, this time, Zhao Yun's luck really exploded, and he actually directly triggered the job transfer task of a special soldier. The biggest hidden surprise was that Wei Yan's ability to take good care of his soldiers could reduce the difficulty of the job transfer task by 80%, which allowed Zhao Yun to complete the job transfer in just a few days.

The soldiers after the job change are called White Horse Volunteers, yes, they are the White Horse Volunteers under Gongsun Zan in history, but there is some difference between these White Horse Volunteers and that one. These White Horse Volunteers, everyone holds a spear, wears white armor, and rides a white horse. Each White Horse Volunteer has the basic attributes of a top third-rate general, and like other special arms, they are not regarded as general units, and enjoy the characteristic bonuses from generals, counselors and lords.

It can be said that the Baima Yicong is stronger than the Younu Xiaowei, because the Younu Xiaowei is more focused on gathering intelligence, while the Baima Yicong is more inclined to fighting.

It can be said that Cao Cao's plan to use the General of the Fa Qiu and the Captain of the Mojin Army to capture Gu Rubing's men was a complete mistake.

"Of course you can. Since you are so eager to learn, I will not be stingy. I will let my subordinates teach you these arrogant soldiers and inferior generals. You should also learn from them."

Cao Cao's face twitched when he heard this. He didn't expect that his words of flattery would be directly picked up by Liu Bei, and he was also mocked by him. This made Cao Cao feel a little unhappy. However, he was still very confident in his Fa Qiu Lieutenant and Mo Jin Xiao Lieutenant. Cao Cao had seen the Qinglong Daoists, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun and the Bai Li Soldiers before, but in Cao Cao's opinion, these were not as good as his Mo Jin Xiao Lieutenant.

"Hahaha, great, fine. Then I can also see how powerful King Lie's subordinates are."

Cao Cao said this almost with gritted teeth.

"Zilong, pick 200 people and let Cao Aman get to know our White Horse Volunteers and learn from them."

Zhao Yun stood up from behind Gu Rubing and came in front of the five hundred white horse volunteers.

"Who among you is willing to fight Prime Minister Cao's soldiers?"

"I come!"

"give it to me!"

"Don't f*cking try to steal it from me. I'll punish anyone who tries it from me!"

"Stop talking nonsense and show us your abilities. The team under my command is the strongest. Why do you think you can compete with me?"

"Let's have another match now, it's still unclear who will be first."

"Stop arguing and let the general choose."

The five deputy generals of the Baima Yicong were fighting for the chance to compete with Cao Cao's men. All of them were vying to show themselves off, as if they were not facing Cao Cao's elite soldiers but just some rough and ragtag warriors. They were competing for merit.

"Alright, alright, stop struggling. Draw lots. Two are long and three are short. The long ones will fight back. Don't say I didn't give you a chance!" Zhao Yun was even more straightforward. He picked up a branch from the side and broke it neatly. Then the five people stepped forward to draw lots. This scene almost made Cao Cao furious. This was too much of a disregard for him. He looked cold and winked at Cao Ren behind him. Cao Ren immediately understood and stood up and walked in front of the 200 tomb-raiding lieutenants, then whispered something to the deputy general.

After listening to this, the deputy general glanced coldly at the Baima Yicong who had already finished drawing lots, then turned around and returned to his own team.

"The Prime Minister has ordered that this is not a show, this is a real battle! As long as there is a chance to kill the other party, we must kill them at all costs. Do you understand?"

The deputy general gritted his teeth and whispered that Xiahou Yuan had just given him a death order, telling him that he must win at all costs.

"Don't worry, boss. How can those pretty boys be our opponents? Boss, I'm going to make this clear today. If you don't kill all of those pretty boys within half an hour, I'll say they're lucky!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

After hearing what the little leader said, the deputy general couldn't help but look up and laugh, then patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

"Good boy, Lao Liu, I will remember what you said. If you can't kill them all, I will deduct your salary for six months!"

"Stop talking, Boss! Even if you deduct a year from my sentence, let alone six months, I will not say a word!"

The little leader called Lao Liu patted his chest and assured the deputy general. His words were full of confidence. The word "full of confidence" was not enough to describe his current state.

"Okay! I'll remember this, brothers. If you win, I'll take you to the best brothel in our Xudu city for three days. You can't come out until your legs are weak!"

"The boss is mighty!"

"Must win!"

All two hundred of them were roaring, while the White Horse Volunteers under Gu Rubing were extremely quiet at the moment. The two deputy generals who drew the long lots looked at the White Horse Volunteers under their command with solemn expressions, quietly waiting for the competition to begin. Zhao Yun looked at the roaring tomb-raiding captain on the side, just smiled lightly, and then spoke to the two hundred people who were selected.

"No need to hold back, kill if you can. I'm sure the other team's commander will tell them the same thing as I did, which means they will also kill without mercy. So, seize every opportunity. This is not a sparring match, this is actual combat."

"General, don't worry. When the battle starts, I will first tear off the head of the person who was shouting the loudest!"

The captain of a team, the deputy general who had just argued that the 100 men he led were the strongest, just glanced sideways at the deputy general of the tomb-raiding lieutenant who was cheering his men on, and his words were full of murderous intent.

Another deputy general who drew the long lot also pinched his nose. "Don't worry, General, this time, if we don't kill them and make them cry for mercy, you can just give us more training when we get back!"

Both sides were very confident in their own strength. The tomb raider also wore armor and rode on horseback, but he held a spear instead of a lance in his hand. He and the White Horse Volunteers stood on both sides of the huge parade ground.

Without any orders, both sides launched a charge almost at the same time. The White Horse Volunteers charged forward in a long snake formation, all holding their spears high. Behind the first row, there was another row, also holding spears. The tomb raiders also divided into two rows and charged forward.

Spear against spear, head on, each of the two sides is a powerful soldier who can fight against second-rate generals without losing. It can be said without exaggeration that this battle is a battle between two second-rate generals. This kind of grand occasion is unprecedented.

"Old Ten, that deputy general is mine, don't fight with me for it!"

Another deputy general who drew the long lot, the captain of team four, rushed forward side by side with the captain of team one. They were located at the center of the long snake formation, which was the very center. The captain of team one was named Wuwu, and because his name sounded like "Wuwu", they gave him the name Lao Shi.

"Of course, this kind of thing depends on one's ability. Whoever can grab it first gets it. There's no point in giving it up. If it were me, I would be embarrassed if you gave it to me."

"Real or fake? Then I'll give it to you."

Team 4 captain Hu Xin was doubtful and said he was wrong, Wu Wu immediately spoke up. "Then let's put it this way, it's a deal, whoever regrets it is the son!"

“It’s hard to guard against it!”

During the quarrel, the two men were only two hundred meters apart. At this moment, Wuwu roared.

"Change!"

The Long Snake Formation with two people as the core has now turned into a Double Dragons Emerging from Water Formation. The soldiers at the two ends began to rush forward faster, and the formation in the second row also rushed forward at a faster speed. The core of the Double Dragons Emerging from Water Formation shifted from the center of the Long Snake Formation to the two ends, and now the core is replaced by the soldiers on both sides of the first row.

The two men led the White Horse Volunteers behind them and charged forward, surrounding the enemy's 200 men with 200 of them. The moment the two sides charged, their spears clashed.

The one called Lao Liu among the tomb-raiding lieutenants was waving a spear, wanting to cut off the opponent's head directly with the spear, but opposite him, Wu Wu and Hu Xin attacked together.

The two men cooperated well, one attacked the top lane, the other attacked the bottom lane, they worked on both fronts and fired both guns at the same time, trying to take Lao Liu's life directly.
