The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 367: How powerful is the tiger?

Without further ado, Cao Zhang stuffed the sword into Deng Ai's arms.

And there is no room for refusal.

Deng Ai held a sword in his arms at this time, looking eagerly at his mentor.

But Sima De also nodded with a smile, obviously agreeing that he should accept the sword.

This made Deng Ai feel so grateful that he could not express it in words.

He was seen kneeling in front of Cao Zhang's horse with a long sword in his arms.

After kowtowing three times, Deng Ai said in a firm tone:
"From now on, Ai swears to serve you till death...!"

"Sir, but... there is a drive."

"Deng Ai! I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Hear Deng Ai's oath of loyalty.

Cao Zhang's originally unruly expression gradually became serious.

He also hurriedly dismounted, helped Deng Ai up, and patted his shoulder heavily.

He nodded and said, "Good boy! I believe you!"

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was too heavy, Cao Zhang changed the subject:

"But you don't need to go through fire and water just yet."

"Now, you should go to Yu Jin's place as soon as possible to serve him!"

"Don't make them wait too long and get impatient!"

"After all, Yu Wenze's personality is indeed difficult to get along with!"

Deng Ai nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Afterwards, the two of them watched Deng Ai go away.

Cao Zhang looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's my fault that I don't have a solid foundation. I'm short of manpower!"

"Now that Shizai has left..."

After saying that, he also looked at Sima De beside him.

"Renda, you're the only one left by my side again."

But Sima De disagreed with what Cao Zhang said.

He just smiled and said jokingly:
"Ziwen, if Guo Yi heard this..."

"With that kid's chatterbox!"

"I'm sure they'll be making up stories about you being heartless and fickle!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After all, based on his understanding of Guo Yi, this could indeed come true.

And the Guo Yi mentioned by Sima De is not an ordinary person either.

His father was Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, who was known as the "genius of the world" in those days!

Because of his father's relationship, Guo Yi has been familiar with the sons of Cao family since he was a child.

Just like the compatibility of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

Among all the young masters, he has the best relationship with Guo Yi.

It was Cao Zhang who had the most unruly and unconventional character.

And now, the competition among the princes of Cao family is becoming more and more intense.

Guo Yi naturally stood on Cao Zhang's side.

Speaking of Guo Yi, the descendant of a genius.

Sima De couldn't help laughing as well.

If we talk about my deceased father Guo Jia.

He is a romantic and unrestrained playboy.

That kid Guo Yi is simply the epitome of a prodigal son!
Not to mention how handsome this guy looks.

Just take the fact that he often visits places with red-light districts as an example.

Countless women fell for him.

And this boy is a playboy himself!
There are accidental discharges of guns almost every day!
It's good enough to be at home a few days a month.

With his unrestrained and unruly pace, I wonder if his father can live long in the future.

However, there is discussion about the character of Guo Jia's son Guo Yi.

Sima De did not investigate the matter further with Cao Zhang.

Instead, I took advantage of the time out of the city to turn my attention to the rural scenery of Hefei.

After all, they had just arrived in this chaotic city at the end of the Han Dynasty yesterday.

A strategically important fortress.

I haven't had time to ask about the customs in detail before.

He had been summoned to the mansion where Cao Cao was staying to attend the military meeting. At this time, he was enjoying the scenery along the way.

Sima De's evaluation of Hefei City also quietly improved.

He was surprised to find out at this time.

Hefei is more of a prosperous city in the Huainan region.

It is better to say that it is a war fortress that Cao’s army has operated for many years.

This city stands in the southeast and is the military heart of Cao Wei's forces in the south.

If we don't send in heavy troops to destroy it, it will never be easy to take it down.

In history, Sun Quan, the King of Wu in the Wei Dynasty, was defeated many times at the city of Hefei.

Perhaps it was not only because of their clumsy tactics, but also because of the solid defense of Hefei city.

After walking and observing along the way, Sima De could only make such an evaluation.

By the time the two men rode their horses to the south gate of Hefei, nearly half an hour had passed.

There was no time to notice the army's departure.

All I heard was the sound of metal clashing, and a strong fighting spirit was already approaching.

At this moment, the ears were filled with the neighing of war horses and the rallying drums were like thunder, seeming to break the sky.

And before his eyes, the dark army formation was like a dark cloud covering the sun.

The soldiers gathered along the designated route with murderous aura.

The collision of armor and spears weaves into a passionate metal symphony.

At this time, even Sima De, who had experienced the battlefield and escaped death.

It's also a bit blood boiling.

It can be seen that his father-in-law really spent a lot of money for this southern expedition against Sun Quan!
Such a huge army and elite momentum.

It is far from comparable to the previous battle in Guanzhong!
This is not because he has already pulled out all his own troops, the Qingzhou Army.

Sima De was also deeply impressed when he saw such a military formation.

"This is the army under my father-in-law's command, the one that swept across the Central Plains and defeated the two Yuans."

"The Qingzhou soldiers who later followed him to the north to fight against the Wuhuan?"

"If it weren't for the rebellion of Han Ma in Guanzhong, perhaps this army would have already swept across the south of the Yangtze River."

According to historical records, in the third year of Chuping, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou surrendered to Cao unconditionally.

After surrendering, the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou, including their families, totaled over one million people.

Among them, 300,000 strong and healthy men were reorganized by Cao Cao into Qingzhou soldiers.

As for those Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou who were not recruited as soldiers.

They concentrated on agricultural production and provided supplies for the rear.

People at that time said: Wei Wu's power began from then on.

And this new force is not only large in number.

And it has been an independent army since the day it was established.

Moreover, since they were from the Yellow Turbans, they were all barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Not only is he tough, but he is also fearless of death.

He was loyal to only Cao Cao throughout his life, even after his death.

The Qingzhou army immediately mutinied and fled.

He was unwilling to obey the command of others, including Cao Cao's successor Cao Pi.

As a result, it caused great chaos in the Luoyang area in the short term.

If it had not been handled properly at the time, it might have even led to more serious unrest.

But it must be said that these Qingzhou soldiers played a crucial role in Cao Cao's rise to power.

In the war against Dong Zhuo, they followed Cao Cao in his campaigns and made many military achievements.

Especially in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao relied on the elite "Qingzhou soldiers".

He successfully defeated the powerful Yuan Shao and laid the foundation for the unification of the north.

This army is not only an iron-blooded army in Cao Cao's hands.

It is also an important foundation for him to achieve his hegemony.

Cao Zhang was standing beside him at this time and was not surprised to see this army.

This is the first time my brother-in-law has seen it.

It is normal to show such emotions.

At this time, Sima De couldn't help but sigh:

"Thousands of years have passed since Wei Wu waved his whip, and there are still chapters left on Jieshi in the east."

"We, the Great Wei, have such a powerful army. How majestic we are!"
