Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 222 Cao Cao’s curiosity
  Dian Wei was unconvinced, and it was one thing to be willing to do his duty to protect his lord's safety.

But what passionate man doesn’t want to truly make contributions?

It's just that these are not weeds in the fields. Can you just pick them up?

Even if the value of the items depreciates further, they are still in short supply right now.

After all, Liehou represents the real nobility, which is the leap of class.

Dian Wei has enough qualifications, but because he always silently undertakes guard duties, he has fewer opportunities than other generals.

"Zi Qian, please stay here. Where should I get the Lie Hou you mentioned?"

It's not that Dian Weixin is better than Zhang Wu, but it's better to ask some questions in advance, so as to save yourself from having to fetch water from a bamboo basket and end up with nothing in the end.

"Brother Zhuhu, the land of Xuzhou is full of flames. Kill the generals in front of the battle, unfurl the flag and seize the pass. There are almost all the merits waiting for you to take them."

"Sure, then I will have the audacity to be your lieutenant general for once, so that I can fulfill my wish of becoming a marquis as soon as possible." Dian Wei Menqing, among the most meritorious in Cao's camp, none of them came from Zhang Wu's tent as a lieutenant general.

Zhang Wu never thought about asking Dian Wei to be his deputy general, so he immediately shook his head and said: "What kind of credit can a deputy general get? You have to be the commander-in-chief of an army to show your power."

The words just fell.

Dian Wei immediately lost his temper and muttered: "I have never led an army in a battle, the situation in Xuzhou is so chaotic, and there are Xiahou brothers competing for credit...otherwise, I should go back to protect the prime minister's safety."

Dian Wei is self-aware.

Although he was brave, he didn't read military books, didn't understand military strategies, and he didn't have as many clever ideas as those strategists who took risks.

It's okay to be a brave general for a while.

As for the general who leads the army, he thinks he is not that material.

Zhang Wu held Dian Wei down and said, "Brother Zhuhu, it's better to take credit than to get it back. Don't be anxious. I haven't finished my words yet. In the military formation, every leader has his own subordinates. I will be wronged once and serve as your military advisor."

Dian Wei looked at Zhang Wu in surprise.

"You? Military advisor?"

"What? You still look down on me?"

Dian Wei scratched his head: "That's not true. I am afraid that if you fail to succeed, you will bring your gun and smash the city, thus overshadowing my general."

"Hahahaha, okay, just keep it in your heart. I will only give you advice and I promise not to take action. Let's go and ask my father-in-law for some troops."

In the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.

Cao Cao returned to his usual style, sitting in the main hall handling a number of important military and political affairs, with no trace of Du around him.

On the other hand, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were sitting quietly in the hall, waiting quietly.

See Zhang Wu and Dian Wei come in.

Cao Cao dropped the document in his hand, raised his head and said, "Why are Ziqian and Zhuhu here together? What about Guo Langzi?"

"Father-in-law, don't worry. I can guarantee that the prodigal son will never have an easy time."

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

Outsiders thought that Zhang Wu was just arrogant and unreasonable in martial arts. Only those who were familiar with him knew that his methods of troublemaking were no less generous than those of insidious counselors.

"You're here just in time. Zifang wants to serve as a general under you, so just watch and deal with it."

Mi Fang...a related household?

Zhang Wu secretly called the system.

Name: Mi Fang

Force: 69
  Commander: 65
  Resourcefulness: 66
  Politics: 52
  After watching this life-threatening panel, Zhang Wu only felt a pain in his head. Other than that, the force value of 74 seems like a big joke.    It’s not as good as Lu Qiling’s three-legged cat martial arts, it’s just leftovers on the battlefield!
  This kind of thing, if it doesn't have anything to do with it, is to be a side general all his life, and he might be killed when he is fighting in front of the formation.

But some people are just lucky.

In the novel, Liu Bei appointed Mi Fang as his general because of his relationship with Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen. This guy can be regarded as relying on nepotism to rise to power.

But this guy is really not reliable.

His surrender directly led to Guan Yu's defeat and death.

After Guan Yu died, Mi Fang defected to Soochow.

Not only did Guan Yu look down on him, but the people of Soochow also looked down on him. Yu Fan even said, "If you lose your loyalty and trust, how can you serve the king? Is it okay to seize two cities and call him a general?" ’

Why bother?

According to Zhang Wu, this guy shouldn't be a general in front of the formation.

Isn't it good to rely on the huge family fortune of the Mi family and just be a playboy?
  But now, Mi Fang is also relying on the relationship between Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen to hold the dragon by the tail.

He still relies on nepotism to get to the top.

But Mi Zhu has already come forward, and Zhang Wu can't refuse directly. After all, he is the brother-in-law in name of the Mi brothers, so he should give him some help.

Mi Fang smiled brightly, stood up and walked out of the queue, clasped her fists at Zhang Wu, and said with a smile: "Thank you, champion Hou Duoduo, for taking care of me."

"Okay, go back home, put on your armor, and wait outside the south gate of Xiapi."

Mi Fang was overjoyed. He did not expect that on the first day he came to serve, he would encounter war.

He has longed for the battlefield for a long time.

Cao Cao wondered: "Does Zi Qian also want to intervene in the Xuzhou war?"

"It's not me, it's Brother Zhuhu."

Dian Wei took two steps forward, knelt on one knee in front of Cao Cao, clasped his fists with both hands and kowtowed: "General Dian Wei, please five thousand soldiers and horses to bring justice to the chaos in Xuzhou!"

"This..." Cao Cao ignored Dian Wei and looked at Zhang Wu.

If this matter was not instigated by Zhang Wu behind his back, Cao Cao would not believe that Zhaodian Weidu had the temper to take the initiative to ask to lead the army into battle.

"Tell me, what are you doing?"

"Hey, father-in-law, look, I am just idle in Xiapi. Aren't I looking for something to do for myself? I just want to go work as a military advisor for Brother Zhuhu."

Cao Cao was stunned.

Zhang Wu's resourcefulness is not particularly outstanding. It can only be said to be excellent, but definitely not top-notch.

But no one has ever stipulated that a military advisor can only be a conspiracy person.

As long as he can assist the general to win the battle, he is an excellent strategist.

Zhang Wu's several great victories definitely relied not only on his personal bravery, but also on his superb troops formation method.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao could only get a glimpse of how Zhang Wu arranged his troops in person.

This time it aroused the curiosity in his heart even more.

"It just so happens that there is nothing important to do in Xiapi, so I will go and have a look with you."

Zhang Wu suddenly became anxious: "This can't be done. If you go, will the credit belong to Brother Zhuhu or to you?"

Cao Cao blew his beard and stared: "You kid! Can I still compete with my generals for credit?"
