Chapter 6775 Old thing

Chapter 6775 Old thing

Although Tian Zhong's words were quite embarrassing for many people who care about their reputation, Tian Zhong himself is already a 60-year-old man. In the current environment, how long he can live is still a big question, so he doesn't care about embarrassing some young people.

Besides, Tian Zhong is Cao Ang's man. He does his own thing and doesn't really care about offending anyone. What's more, what Tian Zhong said is the truth - only an idiot would let a greenhorn who can't even go to the battlefield participate in such a war. Even if I'm not responsible for your lives, I have to be responsible for my own life.

This is a battle with the core backbones under Ardashir. If there is a mistake, these greenhorns who are not suitable for the battlefield will collapse, causing the entire front line to be affected. Won't the veterans themselves have to pay the price in the form of lives?
The so-called need for all the young and strong men of the Cao family to participate is in itself just a judgment of Cao Ang's execution ability and awareness. It is enough to have the awareness of living and dying together. If this group of guys are really dragged along, the probability of living together is not high, but the probability of dying together is very high.

For Tian Zhong, Cao Ang has already demonstrated his execution ability and awareness, so it would be better not to bring a useless person to the front line.

As Cao Ang finished speaking, the elite backbones stood up one by one, and soon, most of the elite backbones stood up.

"Thank you all for your trust." Cao Ang bowed. His originally uneasy mood became much more stable as the backbone members stood up one by one. The next step was his job.

As the officers from various departments quickly recorded the names of the centurions who were willing to join the war, Cao Ang took out another document, which was the water conservancy construction plan developed by the Li, Sang, and Wang families. This thing was another backup plan, and it also needed to be conveyed through the mouths of all the centurions.

More importantly, it has Chen Xi’s signature and seal on it, which can be regarded as Chen Xi’s endorsement of this matter, which is very important.

Originally, Cao Ang was going to take this thing out to stabilize people's hearts when things were going badly, but now everything was going well, so he used this thing as a weight on the scale. Cao Ang was going to use it to completely stabilize people's hearts, at least for a short period of time.

"This is the construction plan for Sistan for the next ten years or so. It is a water network development plan made by the Li, Sang, and Wang families after field research on the Helmand River and Sistan area. It has been approved by Chang'an and endorsed by Chen Hou. This plan serves as a guarantee. Those who participate in this battle today, regardless of life or death, will have the first wave of construction completed, which means that in five years, the first wave of cultivated land will be completed, with each person getting one thousand acres!" Cao Ang exhaled, his voice like thunder, shaking the hearts of everyone present.

What is a powerful force? This is a powerful force. Although it looks half-dead, as long as it still has a breath, it can always create enough war potential from within.

After the Yuan family and the three idiots claimed five hundred acres, the world finally had the first major force to announce a plan to seal off a thousand acres of cultivated land.

Although for the centurions who can be here, a thousand acres of cultivated land may not be as satisfying as being directly promoted to a higher level of nobility, but a thousand acres of cultivated land is not a bonus. Moreover, the titles below the eighteenth level can be squandered in three generations, but a thousand acres of cultivated land can be passed down from generation to generation.

"This is all the money Cao can pay right now, but if we work together to conquer Kabul and break into the Khyber Pass, then today's reward will be repeated in the future. Everyone, I, Cao Ang, am not good at speaking, but you are willing to stay here because you believe that my Cao family still has the power to take off. In this case, please lend me the wind to soar so high!" Cao Ang said loudly to everyone present.

The eyes of the hundred men flickered, but as Cao Ang said, those who still followed Cao at this time, were they really just going to perish with Cao? No, most people did not leave because they really believed that Cao could gain quite a lot of benefits.

Although Liu Bei and other people can also obtain such benefits, on the one hand, the transmission of information is distorted, and on the other hand, migration is not so easy. After interpersonal relationships are formed locally, leaving the local area directly will cause losses in the interpersonal network, which is also a cost. Therefore, few people are willing to give up everything they once had as long as it is acceptable.

So when Cao Ang offered enough benefits and was willing to take all the young and strong men of the Cao family to the battlefield, the centurions under Cao's command actually felt that they were willing to fight to the death. However, what Tian Zhong said was very correct, they felt Cao Ang's belief and behavior of being willing to take all the young and strong men of the Cao family to the battlefield, but they really didn't need these rubbish to go, because they would hold them back, and the battlefield was no joke.

"Next, I would like you to select your best soldiers and meet at the parade ground tomorrow. After a day of discipline the day after tomorrow, I will lead everyone to attack the Kabul Valley." Cao Ang said to the officers and civil officials present. Speed ​​is of the essence in war and there is no time to waste. What's more, the duration of the rainstorm is limited. If you want to arrive in Kabul when the rain is the heaviest, you can't delay too much.

All the officers and centurions understood this point. After Cao Ang spoke, they made sure that there was no other military business and left quickly. As for the centurions of each unit, they knew better than the officers which soldiers under their command were more suitable for doing this kind of thing.

"Lord Wei, who will be the commander in this battle?" Xun You looked at Cao Ang and asked. There was nothing to say about him being the military advisor, but who would be the commander?

"I will go to the battlefield myself, and Barak and Xu Huang will be my deputy generals." Cao Ang said with a sigh. Unlike Cao Cao, he did not appoint a general from the Cao or Xiahou clan as the commander-in-chief no matter what. Instead, he chose Barak and Xu Huang.

There is nothing much to say about choosing Barak. Even Cao Ren and the Xiahou brothers have nothing to say about it, because Barak is really strong enough. Even without the enhancement, Barak's performance in Kandahar at that time was enough for Cao Ren and others to accept him.

As for Barak being a relative of the emperor, is that a problem? The relatives of the emperor in the Han Dynasty going to the battlefield was one of the entertainment programs that could not be missed, and nepotism was even more so. The appointment of Cao Ren was nepotism, and the appointment of the Xiahou brothers was also nepotism. It was the same.

It’s just that as for Xu Huang, how should I put it? Xu Huang was truly an invisible person under Cao’s command. After the Northern Frontier, he has been basically invisible until now.

Therefore, when Cao Ang appointed Xu Huang as his deputy general, Xu Huang himself was caught off guard. What was going on? Why did he become a deputy general inexplicably? With Cao Ang as the commander-in-chief, was there any difference between him as a deputy general and the commander-in-chief?

No one thinks that Cao Ang will command in real time, right? No, since he can't, then won't it be up to Barak and Xu Huang to do their best?

However, although he was caught off guard, Xu Huang would not be polite now that this position fell into his hands. Even though he did not show it on his face, Xu Huang cursed in his heart, "Brother Xiahou, you are a piece of rotten fish and shrimp. I'm really good at it!"
So despite his doubts, Xu Huang still stood up and took the military command. As for Barak, he had a blank expression on his face. Since Cao Wan would also go this time, he had to do his best. It didn't matter to him whether Xu Huang or Cao Ang was there or not. He was determined to fight Ardashir to the death.

The officers and soldiers of the Cao and Xiahou clans were puzzled by this, but considering that this was Cao Ang's first military order, Cao Ren and others did not object and remained silent.

"General Xiahou Yuan, General Yan, and General Cheng will lead the 40,000 elite soldiers in the rear." Cao Ang said slowly, "We must reach the Kabul Valley before the sky clears."

"Yes." Xiahou Yuan, Yan Xing and Cheng Yu stood up and saluted Cao Ang.

"All other officers and soldiers should come with me to the Kabul Valley. Victory or defeat will depend on this." Cao Ang said with a gloomy expression. No matter how confident he was, he did not have much certainty before fighting with Ardashir. His previous firmness could only be said to be an expression that he had to maintain to convince others when he had no choice.

"Military Advisor Xun, you will stay in Kandahar. If Sakara attacks, just defend to the death." Cao Ang said to Xun Yu, who nodded. If Sakara attacked, it basically meant that Cao Ang had won. Of course, if Ardashir really wanted to risk his life, letting Sakara lead the Kshatriya warriors to pass through the mountain path with their magical powers, bypass Cao Ang and form a pincer attack from the front and back, was also a solution.

However, considering the current situation, Xun Yu estimated that Ardashir would not take such a gamble.

After Cao Ang's order was issued, the centurions from all tribes quickly returned to the barracks and began to select backbone personnel who were suitable to go to the Kabul Valley with them. After all, 10,000 people were needed. According to Cao Ang's previous requirements, each of them needed to recruit ten backbone personnel.

"I feel that if we recruit like this, the second-line legion might lose half of its combat effectiveness." Ma Pin looked at the ten backbone members he had selected with a somewhat hesitant expression.

"You really don't think that the newly appointed Marquis Wei still has to rely on the more than 40,000 main forces at the back after our tens of thousands of people have fought so hard." Feng Ke said indifferently. Under his will, the surrounding raindrops were forced to stay in the air and no longer fell, forming a layer of rain curtain, until Feng Ke could no longer hold on, and then they all fell down.

"In my opinion, either our 10,000 core members win the battle and stabilize the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley, or we will all be finished." Feng Ke sneered, "Relying on those second-tier elites who follow behind, they are basically just there to wave flags and cheer. You can't put your hopes on them, right? Be careful."

"That being said, can our 10,000 backbones really defeat the Holy Death Knights?" Hu Bo frowned and said, "If we were to face the Holy Death Knights alone, I think there would be no problem. At most, a few people would die, and we would definitely win. But this is our conquest of the Kabul Valley. Even if Ardashir is in trouble, there will definitely be an elite army stationed there."

"That depends on whether those old guys who are older than me are willing to kill me." A gloomy look appeared in Han Chong's eyes. There was no way. These people were very good at fighting. If they really fought with the Holy Death Knight in a one-on-one duel, they might not lose. But to be honest, this group of people were not the strongest under Lao Cao, at least they were not the strongest under Lao Cao in the past.

"Older than you?" Feng Ke glanced at Han Chong and said, "You are already sixty-one."

"Old Han, come and get your talent." Just when Feng Ke was confused, a young man who looked less than 30 years old came over and greeted Han Chong, then looked at the guys in their 40s and 50s around him, "Oh, Hu Bo, you come too."

"Who are you?" Hu Bo looked at the muscular guy who was probably less than 30 years old. For some reason, he looked familiar, but how dare you, little guy, speak to your father like that.

Han Chong slapped Hu Bo on the back of his head. "Fuck, why are you talking to Brother Tian like that? Let's go, let's hurry up, Brother Tian, ​​are the rumors true? Shit, did the guy from the Southern Army really master that talent? This is too incredible!"

"Where's Sun Ling?" Tian Zhong, who looked to be less than 30 years old, looked around in the rain, looking for Sun Ling. "Where's he? He should be able to bear this talent as well."

"His arm was broken and just reconnected, and he hasn't recovered yet." Han Chong replied quickly. After Han Chong, the oldest man in his sixties, started calling him Brother Tian, ​​the people around him instantly realized who this man was from his facial features and quickly surrounded him.

"Fuck, Brother Tian, ​​please lead me. We are bound by the quick-training oath. Please lead me, brother." Feng Ke rushed over immediately and touched Tian Zhong's sturdy body randomly. A 65-year-old fifth-level smelting warrior and a 30-year-old fifth-level smelting warrior, to put it bluntly, the latter could beat the former two or three times.

"You guys have no hope. I'm here to buy wholesale from my brother." Tian Zhong waved his hand and said, "Your willpower is not strong enough, and there are no traces of the oath binding yourselves, so you can't use this trick. The only ones present are Han Chong and Hu Boxing, and Sun Ling is also possible. Where is Sun Ling?"

Han Chong and Hu Bo both tried to smelt the oath constraints, and threw them aside whether they succeeded or not, but there were traces of the oath constraints. As for the will level, those who can endure to the fourth or fifth level are basically not bad. With the traces of the oath constraints and the normal will strength, they took them to the old man in the Southern Army, let that old man peel off the traces of the oath constraints and add them back.

It can at least maintain a youthful and strong state for ten days or half a month.

As for Sun Ling, the warrior's will is strong enough. If we peel off a broken oath bond from the old thing and hang it on Sun Ling, Sun Ling's will should be able to withstand the backlash, and we can get a thirty-year-old young super warrior.

"That rumor is true. Is there really someone among the old guys who has completely mastered the talent stripping and can use it on others?" Feng Ke said with some hesitation.

"How can you talk like that? He's your senior." Tian Zhong said unhappily.

Old Cao has looted all the old stuff in Chang'an. What happened to the Southern Army? It's true!
