Cao Cao almost spit out the tea he drank. He pointed at Qin Ge and shook his head: "Qin Boxi! Can you... please stop being so straightforward!" Cao Cao was having fun with the children of various families in Luoyang. Qin Ge's heartfelt words made him at a loss what to do. .
Qin Ge sat down and smiled and said: "Didn't Meng De come to me now to express his heartfelt words? Do you really want to drink hot tea?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and laughed: "It's so refreshing!" In fact, as a rare saint-level historical general (commander) in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was born with abilities beyond ordinary people, but under a political system like the Han Dynasty, he could only follow Yuan Shao. He was just living a life without putting his talents to use. In fact, he really needed recognition in his heart. Qin Ge's evaluation of him during the day made Cao Cao feel like a confidant. When he met Qin Ge, Cao Cao was infected by his heroic spirit. That was A kind of upright masculinity is completely different from the intrigues and drunkenness of the aristocratic young men in the capital. Some of the qualities in Qin Ge are what Cao Cao admires the most. When he was in the capital, Cao Cao wanted to make friends with scholars from all over the world, but Cao Cao didn't want to make friends with heroes like Qin Ge.
Cao Cao took a sip of tea and sighed: "Everyone is drunk, Boxi, you are the only one awake! This time in the battle of Qingzhou, you will become famous all over the world, but you have cut off all your own escape routes. Yanzhou is not your place to live in peacetime." That’s the place!”
Qin Ge sipped the tea and smiled bitterly: "Originally, I just wanted to form a group to protect myself in this troubled world. I used to live under Zang Ba's remaining power. Although Zang Ba was called a bandit, he was loyal and courageous. I couldn't bear to betray Liu Dai! And in the Battle of Qingbei, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to the Yanzhou nobles, but in the end, I scattered all the captured materials for the sake of those refugees, and completely offended those nobles. It’s clear, and now Meng De also knows that the entire camp’s generals have been offended by me, Qin. If Mr. Zhu adopts a strategy, even if the battle is won, I, Qin Ge, will take the blame. Now thinking about it, I am really living Deserve a beating!"
Cao Cao gave a thumbs up and said: "Hard! Strong! Fierce! The only person in the world who has such courage is you, Qin Ge! Cao admires you!"
Qin Ge smiled bitterly and said: "Mengde! I am at the end of my rope and depressed. Why should you laugh at me if you confide in me, brother?"
Cao Cao said sternly: "Brother, I am speaking from my heart. Since Liang Ji usurped power, the Han royal family has become dim and weak. The gentry has taken advantage of the situation to rise. How many heroes who want to stand out can only join the gentry and become tail-wagging dogs. Now The dragon power of the Han Dynasty will fall apart. In the future, all the great mountains and rivers in the world will give birth to spiritual energy. At that time, the world will no longer be dominated by the imperial court. The era of great strife will surely come, and the ambitious people in the world will be like crucian carp crossing the river. At that time, the common people of the world will not be able to live. The world needs heroes like you to save me. I came here to express my admiration to Boxi. Secondly, I am afraid that heroes like Boxi will perish because of this. This is a loss for the people of the world. Today, You see I’m worrying too much!”
The annoyance in Qin Ge's heart was relieved and he smiled: "Qin has done this to be the first person, but I don't know what General Zhonglang means?"
Cao Cao held up the teacup and said: "I just went to see General Zhonglang. I think 90% of Brother Qin's suggestions should be adopted! Now that Dong Zhuo has led his army to leave, the combat strength of our bandit suppression troops has dropped significantly. We can only use Boxi, your strategy can completely integrate these two armies. As for the combat effect, the North Route Army is the best example. The same army is as fierce as a tiger in your hands, but it is defeated repeatedly in Liu Dai's hands. As long as Not even the blind can see clearly!"
Qin Ge's heart moved. Cao Cao was one of the four holy-level historical generals of the Han Dynasty. He had the command of a holy-level army to fight. This time he came here to discuss the march. Qin Ge took the opportunity to say: "I don't know the battle formation of Mengde." How do you see it together?"
Cao Cao had countless strategies in mind, but all his interactions with Yuan Shao and others in the capital were about fireworks and willow lanes, so meeting Qin Ge gave him a special sense of freshness. Now that Qin Ge asked about marching and fighting, Cao Cao immediately came to Liao Spirit said: "The use of troops is exactly the same as the battle formation. They arrive at the same destination by different routes. They are one body. The battle is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as plundering as the fire, as motionless as the mountain, as unpredictable as the clouds, as moving as the thunder, and as expected!" Cao Cao said! At the beginning of the chapter, we talk about the Seven Paths of Military Power in the Military Struggle Chapter of "The Art of War". Takeda Shingen, the military god of Kaibi no Tiger in the history of Dahe District, only understood the four paths of wind, forest and volcano to dominate Yamato District and the Warring States Period. Cao Cao was not only able to master the seven paths. The essence, and he has understood the eighth path of 'turning around and wishing', which shows his strong ability to unite the army in combat. After all, Cao Cao wrote the "New Book of Mengde" military classics in history, and he can be said to be a giant military strategist.
Cao Cao directly took out the formation disk for the deduction. It turned out to be the mountain-shaped terrain map of Anqiu. It was Zhang Liang's Five Ultimate Formations. It seemed that he had studied the formation deeply. Qin Ge leaned forward and listened. Cao Cao was full of talent. It's hard to be appreciated by others. Now that I see Qin Ge treating me as a disciple and being taught so humbly, my heart is so excited that I can't calm down. I spit like stars and tell Qin Ge about the military struggle from the Five Jue Formation!
…
In the past five days, silence fell in the military camp, Zhu Jun fell into silence, and all the noble clans collectively lost their voices. No one dared to take the lead in conquering the Yellow Turban bandits, while Qin Ge hung out with Cao Cao every day, asking for advice on the art of war. Tao, Cao Cao's military theory is as deep as the sea of wisdom, Qin Ge admires it from the bottom of his heart, and Cao Cao seems to enjoy it. The two discuss Tao strategies during the day, develop military formations at night, and sleep together in the same clothes. The understanding deepened, and Qin Ge gradually unveiled the mystery of this eternal hero and formed a deep friendship.
Five days later, in front of the sand table, Qin Ge suddenly felt a surge of aura. Qin Ge's eyes flashed with a strange light. He followed Cao Cao and listened to the art of war. His commander attribute broke through the bottleneck, and he actually understood the military skills first. potential, entering the third-rate realm.
Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed and said: "Brother Qin is indeed a born god of conquest. His military strength is like the inner strength of a warrior. If you understand military strength, you have entered the art of war!"
Qin Ge's military power is composed of eight kinds of military will: "Wind, Forest, Volcano, Yin and Thunder". I am afraid that no famous historical general has such a solid foundation.
Qin Ge knew that he had taken advantage of Cao Cao and stole his apprenticeship. Cao Cao not only refused to accept it, but also gave him all his money. Qin Ge admired this kind of ambition. Qin Ge knelt down and paid homage to his apprentice: "Today Teaching Taoism, Qin will never forget it!"
Cao Cao laughed, helped Qin Ge up from the ground and said, "Bo Xi's words are obvious. You learned the art of war from me, and I learned the spirit of the army from you. It's a win-win situation for both of us!" I, Cao Cao, also hope to join hands with a confidant like Boxi to promote the reputation of our great Han Dynasty!" Qin Ge knew that Cao Cao was telling the truth. At this time, Cao Cao was full of ambitions and had the ambition to help the world and revitalize the people, and usurped the Han Dynasty Qin Ge is not aware of his ambition to be self-reliant, because people always change, just like Qin Ge, he is now completely different from the white tiger he used to be, and this confidant brother in front of him will be in the furnace of troubled times in the future. No one can tell what will happen. Qin Ge couldn't help but sigh when he thought that there would probably be swords against each other in the future.
At this time, the thundering sound of drums sounded. Cao Cao squinted and listened to the drums and laughed: "The drums are steady and powerful. It seems that Master Zhu has made up his mind!"
Seeing Cao Cao's hearty smile, Qin Ge remembered Cao Cao's mantra: 'Enjoy the sun today, regardless of whether it will be clouds or rain tomorrow! '
Cao Cao stretched out and said to Qin Ge who was in a daze: "Boxi! Please! After three drums, you will violate the military code of the Han Dynasty. You know this best!" Qin Ge straightened his clothes and armor, and talked with Cao Cao The two of them walked hand in hand towards the Chinese army's tent.
