Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao's advisers were not fools. After Ardashir returned to Kabul, they tried to attack Kabul and occupy the northwest entrance. Cao Cao's advisers had also made predictions.

It's just that due to the actual situation, their confidence is not as great as that of the current Cao Ang and the previous Cao Cao, but this group of people has considered this plan.

The problem is that the executor of that plan needs to be Cao Cao, because only Cao Cao has such a level of adventurous spirit, and seizes the only one opportunity when taking risks. As for Cao Ang, to be honest, it is not just Xun Yu who thinks there is no chance. , Chen Qun also thought there was no chance.

It's just that Chen Qun was beaten by Chen Xi, and his superficial skills were very good. After Cao Ang came to power, the courtesy he was given was very good, and he didn't feel dissatisfied at all because of the missed opportunity caused by this turmoil. It was like he really accepted it. Just like Cao Ang.

In fact, Chen Qun actually doesn't think Cao Ang has any hope of doing what his father failed to do.

"Chang Wen, if you believe me, don't push back now, prepare food and grass logistics as soon as possible, and continue to advance according to our preparations at that time. In the next few days, the situation may become clear. You also know that this rain cannot continue, so just In the near future." Mao Jie was not angry when Chen Qun pulled his sleeve, but revealed something to Chen Qun.

"You?" Chen Qun's eyes widened when he heard this. How could this be possible?

"I still have things to deal with." Mao Jie flicked his sleeves and shook Chen Qun's hand away. Without saying anything else, he quickly left in the rain.

Standing in the rain curtain, looking at Mao Jie's disappearing back, Chen Qun's expression was extremely complicated. Having worked with Mao Jie for so many years, he was very aware of Mao Jie's abilities. He was a person who was good at planning and had an extremely long-term vision. In the early days, Lao Cao's strategy of "serving the emperor's orders but not submitting to ministers, cultivating crops and raising military supplies" was devised by Mao Jie.

You can doubt this person's execution and operational abilities, but if you doubt his vision, it is an insult to yourself and the other party.

"If Cao Zixiu can do what Mr. Cao has not done, then it will not just be a matter of comeback." Chen Qun's eyes brightened a lot. He is also a top figure in the world after all, so he naturally understands that compared to Cao Cao With the historical baggage on his body, Cao Ang basically went into battle lightly. If he really completes the plan that was originally supposed to be completed by Cao Cao, then the new era of the Cao family will really come.

"In this case, just proceed according to the previous plan. This is what I was promoting before." After Chen Qun realized this, he felt that Mao Jie was trustworthy, and he did a lot more work that he had originally planned to deal with perfunctorily. Share passion.

Because the Cao family's advisers had considered how to capture Kabul long before, and had carried out a considerable division of labor. The current suspension can only be said to be that no one can believe in Cao Ang's ability, so they were forced to give up. However, in the early preparations, these people In fact, it's already done, just waiting for Cao Cao to take the risk.

[If it is as expected by Xiaoxian, then the bondage may really be cut off. ] Chen Qun returned to his house despite the heavy rain with a somewhat thoughtful expression.

"Gongda? It's rare that you are here with me." Chen Qun entered the main hall of his house and saw Xun You sitting in his armchair, eating snacks prepared by the cook, looking relaxed and easy.

"I can't help it. You are the only person of my generation in Kandahar, so I can only get here now." Xun You did not appear dull this time. On the contrary, he said very freely.

Although he is older than Xun Yu, Xun You is indeed his nephew. As his son-in-law, Chen Qun is naturally of the same generation as Xun You, and the environment around Cao Cao forces these people to stick together for warmth. In this case, the relationship between Xun You and Chen Qun It's obviously much better than in history.

"You already know?" Chen Qun looked at Xun You and went straight to the topic.

"I'm not blind." Xun You shook his head and said, "With such frequent arrangements, and they are all aimed at the army, how could they hide it from me?"

"Then what do you think?" Chen Qun didn't mean to beat around the bush and looked at Xun You and asked.

"This plan would not be possible without me." Xun You sighed and said, "Although I don't know what trump card you have, you and Xiaoxian have obviously started to promote this matter, so I am willing to join you. Take a gamble."

Chen Qun nodded after hearing this. Xun You's spiritual talent was the key to this attack in the rain. The shelter provided by the heavy rain itself, coupled with the shelter brought by Xun You's spiritual talent, combined, before approaching the Kabul Valley, there was basically no need will be discovered.

This is the basis for the attack on Ardashir. Without this, even in the rain, Ardashir would have received the news of the Han army's attack in advance, and the terrain from Kandahar to Kabul was sometimes more than 1,800 With elites, the difficulty of conquering will rise sharply.

"I will only provide one spiritual talent, and the rest depends on you." Xun You said calmly, "I hope you will have enough cards to defeat Ardashir."

"Actually, if there was no problem of military morale instability, the current conditions would no longer require the so-called trump card." Chen Qun said with a bit of a sigh.

In the current environment, the main force of Cao's army can stably reach the outskirts of the Kabul Valley, and the celestial phenomena are actually in Cao Ang's hands after the agreement between Cao Ang and Ardashir. In other words, the weather is already in Cao Ang's hands.

As for the geographical advantage, Cao Ang and his main force, protected by Xun You's spiritual talent, were able to safely reach the northwest entrance of Kabul in the rain. As long as the speed was fast enough, the geographical advantage could actually be reversed.

The only problem is the morale of the army. If there is no problem of turmoil in the morale of the army, and the right time, place, people and people are in hand, unless the opponent's military situation is so strong that there is a slim possibility of fighting, it is impossible to lose.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the jigsaw puzzle that Cao Ang can get is actually complete. If he can't get the people and people, in theory, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get it.

"Tian Zhong, Xu Yuan, and Deng Ying, you three have always been grateful for your help. I have invited you here again because there are some things that I need to understand with you." Cao Ang went to organize hundreds of ministries in Maojie At that time, he had already invited the three centurions who were the most trustworthy and had the greatest reputation and ability under him.

Compared with Cao Cao's inability to make such an action, Cao Ang's behavior when he saw these three people seemed to be extremely smooth. At the very least, the three people still trusted Cao Ang's morality.

"General, please tell me, if we know, we will tell you everything." Tian Zhong looked at the two guys next to him and felt that it would be better for him to speak. After all, he has more experience. These two guys next to him are indeed It's a bit reckless.

"If I want to lead 10,000 of Kandahar's most elite elites to attack the Kabul Valley, what do I need to pay?" Cao Ang looked at Tian Zhong and asked seriously, "Because of the general environment, these 10,000 elites may have to fight to the death. Only by fighting can we defend the northwest entrance of Kabul. Although as long as we hold it, the army will set off from Kandahar, converge as quickly as possible, and completely occupy it, but it is very difficult to start with 10,000 Kandahar elites. "

Seizing the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley is actually not difficult with the current prerequisites. It is rare to hold the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley before Ardashir reacts. This will be very fatal. The Death Rider rides on such terrain. It's almost invincible, you can't beat it, you just can't beat it.

This kind of place is what Zhao She said back then, a place where the brave will win when meeting on a narrow road. Of course, if the soldiers use their lives, there is actually nothing the Holy Death Cavalry can do. They can fill in hard and defend the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley. But the problem is, Cao Ang can order Are these people filling the battle lines?

To put it bluntly, in this situation, are the soldiers under Cao's command willing to risk their lives in this fight? There is a high probability that he is unwilling. Although in theory, if you win the fight, everything will become clear in the future, but if you lose, if you work together, you will basically win, but this is when you work together.

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Tian Zhong glanced at Cao Ang twice, and finally gave a negative answer. What Cao Cao did made them somewhat afraid, so they fought to the death at this time. To be honest, the elite backbone's heart felt Doubts are impossible to clear.

"It's just that it's very difficult, does that mean there is still hope?" Cao Ang didn't feel discouraged at all when he heard this, but instead seized on Tian Zhong's words and asked, "My background is destined to have some of my views that are different from yours. Even if I know you as well as possible, there is still a big difference between this understanding and the knowledge brought about by your experience. They may look similar, but you also know the essential gap, so regarding your matters, There's no way around it on my level, so I need help."

After Liang He killed Ding and his younger brother the year before last, Cao Ang realized that because of his background and education, his way of looking at problems was different from that of middle- and lower-level generals. Even if he worked hard to penetrate into the Chinese Lower-level generals, get in touch with them, and let more centurions realize that Cao Ang is actually solving problems.

But some cognitive misalignments still exist.

Communication can solve many problems, but the gap in levels is there. There are some problems that Cao Ang doesn't recognize at all, and if he doesn't recognize them, how can he ask corresponding questions.

This situation not only existed in the past, it exists now, and it even exists in official history books for recording. The simplest point is that from a historical perspective and standpoint, most people who are not professional in studying history will easily ignore the past.

Taking the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China to the founding of the People's Republic of China as an example, there are only three places from the historical perspective, Beijing, Shanghai and the coast. The perspective of the late Qing Dynasty is mainly Beijing. What happened in Beijing is generally recorded as what happened across the country. For example, the Boxers, The historical record is that the Qing Dynasty was supported and the foreign countries were destroyed, but in fact only the Boxers in Beijing had to do this due to the local environment, and the other places were destroyed by the Qing Dynasty and the foreign countries.

For example, when people cut their braids, people in Beijing mourn and disagree, and even cut them and then add them again, so this is the case in history, but in fact, in most places in the world, people cut their braids and say it in ancestral halls to comfort their ancestors and say It was the end of three hundred years of slavery.

The same goes for the Republic of China. The historical record of the Republic of China was in Shanghai, so generalized descriptions mainly focus on the Shanghai model. Even if it is known that this is not the case in other places, it is still recorded according to this.

In fact, this is the so-called historical perspective. From this perspective, some things cannot be seen.

Cao Ang studied the laws of aristocratic families. Even if some of these things penetrate deeply into the people, they will not realize what the problem is. The world is bound by rules. In fact, it is difficult to see the whole picture among the rules. of.

So Cao Ang naturally understood Liu Bei's approach. There are some things that you must ask the soldiers, and the soldiers will tell you the answers, and you can understand the real needs of the soldiers.

"It's difficult." Tian Zhong said with a wry smile.

"No matter how difficult it is, there is still a way to solve the problem." Cao Ang looked at Tian Zhong seriously.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this door if I tell you what I said." Tian Zhong sighed and looked outside the door with his peripheral vision to make sure no one was blocking him. He also thought about Cao Ang's performance in the past two years and felt that Cao Ang was still worth it. Trusted.

"When it comes out of your mouth, it goes into my ears, and it won't be spread to anyone else." Cao Ang said seriously.

"First implement the guarantee, and then all adult men of the Cao family must go to the battlefield and join us." Tian Zhong lowered his head and replied. Cao Ang felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard this.

"General, if you want your brothers to trust you, you must at least trust them." Xu Yuan lowered his head and said. His wife is the daughter of the Wei family, and Cao Ang's wife is the legitimate daughter of the Wei family. This is roughly the relationship, so Xu Yuan I am also willing to say something outrageous.

In the current situation, trust is very difficult. Cao Ang himself said that he trusts his subordinates, but now the real torture is coming. Take all the young men of your Cao family with you and die together, as long as you issue the insurance in advance. , then we can trust you.

Is it difficult? Not difficult!

Isn't it difficult? Like ascending to heaven!

Cao Ang thought he trusted his soldiers, but at this moment, Cao Ang realized what kind of situation his soldiers were facing - I was killing the enemy on the battlefield, and I actually had to consider whether I would be cheated by Lao Cao, so what the hell would I kill him? !

Now under Tian Zhong's questioning, Cao Ang finally realized that the guarantee the soldiers wanted was very simple. You should first give what you should give after death in battle to relieve your worries, and then take your Cao family's young men with you. If you want to die, everyone will die together. , this terrain, if we lose, no one can escape.

"Let me think about it..." Cao Ang looked extremely complicated. Does he believe in his soldiers? Yes, at least Cao Ang thought he believed it before, but now, Cao Ang asked himself, and he seemed to understand.

"You continue to think about it, we are going back first." Tian Zhong bowed and was naturally ready to leave. Think about it, think about it more.

This really solves the problem. Don’t ask me how I know.
