Chapter 6783 Loophole

Chapter 6783 Loophole
While Tian Zhong was working hard to accumulate the combat effectiveness of Cao's subordinates, Barak also brought several of his former defense zone commanders to quickly screen out the backbones of each department. Although most of them were blank slates of Qi Refining and Gang Formation, the two thousand Qi Refining and Gang Formation were not to be trifled with.

"General, is this really okay? If we withdraw troops like this, there will be big problems in the organization of our army. These officers are basically the important backbone of our main force. If they are withdrawn to fight Ardashir head-on, the losses will be huge regardless of whether we win or lose." Kabechi frowned as he looked at the main force that Barak had gathered.

"There is no choice. I came from Kabul, and so did you. So we all know that it makes no sense to deploy a large force to defend the terrain." Barak said indifferently, "Only by using elite troops to charge in first can we deploy a large force to defend the terrain later. Now we have to fight our way in first."

"Then we shouldn't transfer all the Qi Refining and Gang Forming soldiers away. Instead, we should select the elite veterans with high smelting skills. That would be more appropriate." Bellona frowned. Most of these Qi Refining and Gang Forming soldiers were blank slates. In actual combat, they might not be able to compare with those veterans with high smelting skills.

"Because it saves trouble. This time we are just taking a gamble. Either we win and take the northwest entrance of Kabul Valley, or we are done for. To be honest, I have doubts about the rear team commanded by Xiahou Miaocai and his men. Essentially, as long as we can take the northwest entrance of Kabul and delay them until they arrive, we will win." Barak said calmly, "So there is no need to worry about the subsequent organizational issues. We just need to win the first game first. Without the rest, there is no hope for anything."

"If I think about it carefully, it seems to be true." Kabeqi touched his chin and said, "Then let's not consider the subsequent problems. Select all the elites who have refined Qi and formed Gang and high-melting, and have a fierce battle with Ardashir's Holy Death Knights over there."

In the parade ground in the north of Kandahar, Xu Huang was thinking about what to do next. That scumbag from the Yang family had sent him many letters, hoping that he would go and join him, but Xu Huang's sunk costs here were too great. Moreover, Cao Ang appointed Xu Huang as deputy commander-in-chief this time, and Xu Huang was more or less holding on to the idea of ​​a new dynasty and a new atmosphere. After all, he had been here for so many years, and Xu Huang would not be happy if he moved to another place.

"Forget it, Cao Sikong is Cao Sikong, and Cao Pingxi is Cao Pingxi. I have finally caught an opportunity. At least let me see what my upper limit is." Xu Huang shattered the secret letter sent by Yang in his hand, and then made up his mind. He has not been a pushover over the years. The development of his legion's talents has surpassed most people in this world, and now it is time to test it.

"Gai'er, go and notify the soldiers from all departments. Cao Pingxi has invested so much. Even if the officers from all departments want to leave, I think they are waiting and watching this time. Let them come to my place for a meeting. Even if they have some ideas, they have to fight with all their strength this time. If they win, maybe everything will be different." Xu Huang let out a breath and quickly made up his mind.

In the city of Kandahar, the Xun family's mansion was mostly populated by loners. Xun You came to his uncle's mansion in the rain. To be honest, Xun You didn't want to come, but after the meeting, Xun Yu gave Xun You a look. Xun You thought about it and decided it would be better to come.

"Gongda." Xun Yu looked at Xun You and asked with a sigh. When he met Cao Ang before, he realized that Cao Ang was very different from before. This difference was not the change brought about by the rise of power, but a change in mind and will.

"Uncle." Xun You bowed slightly, then found a place to sit down. He didn't know since when his uncle's side had become increasingly deserted. It might be because of the changing emperor and changing ministers, or it might be because Cao Cao's power failed to take off and was declining. In short, the situation on Xun Yu's side completely reflected the current situation of the Cao family.

"What's the situation with General Pingxi?" Xun Yu looked at Xun You and went straight to the point. At this point, he didn't want to get entangled in those trivial matters. He just wanted to know one reason.

"I don't know the exact situation, but judging from Xiaoxian and what we saw in our previous meeting, I suspect that the other party's trump card is himself." Xun You said calmly. Compared to relying on external forces, Cao Ang's trump card is himself. This is completely in line with Cao Ang's current performance. As for whether he really didn't have this ability before, or he was hiding his shortcomings, it is actually not important.

Because whether Cao Ang recruited an excellent minister or Cao Ang himself had this ability, the current situation is enough to prove Cao Ang's excellence.

"What do you think is the possibility of General Pingxi's success in executing this plan?" Xun Yu looked at Xun You silently and said. It was impossible for Xun Yu to hide his shortcomings. He was not blind. As for recruiting an excellent minister, it was nonsense. Wasn't Xun Yu excellent? But some things could not be circumvented by the monarch's own mind and will. No matter how excellent he was, it was useless if the monarch wanted to do it himself.

"It won't be much worse than before." Xun You shook his head and said, "This time, the time-consuming selection itself is the key to adjusting people's hearts. As long as we pass this stage, considering the situation Ardashir is facing now, he may not fight us to the death."

"For us, as long as we pass the northwest exit of Kabul, the rest of the war will no longer be the previous situation of being unable to advance. The war will return to the one we are most familiar with." Xun You said expressionlessly. He was quite optimistic about this battle.

"Is that so?" Xun Yu sighed, and passed the small jade disk that he had separated from Chen Xi to Xun You. "Xiaoxian has a special Xuanxiang. You can use these reserved spirits to suppress it, which should increase the probability of success."

"Special Xuan Xiang?" Xun You raised his eyebrows, but still nodded. The small jade disk in Xun Yu's hand, inherited from Xi Zhicai, had a very strong spiritual reserve. When necessary, it could indeed change the overall situation. Xun You was considering how to get it from Xun Yu before, but he didn't expect Xun Yu to directly transfer this thing to him.

"Normally it wouldn't be very useful, it was just an experiment, but now, it should be quite useful." Xun Yu said with emotion, "Many things were saved earlier, maybe they will be useful someday. You can take those things to find Xiaoxian, and Xiaoxian will know."

"It's rare that there is something I'm completely ignorant of." Xun You glanced at his uncle and said in a tone that he didn't know whether to describe as dissatisfaction or ridicule.

"It's not that I don't know, but you don't realize it." Xun Yu shook his head and said.

After passing the small jade disc to Xun You and confirming Xun You's condition, Xun Yu sent Xun You away. Then he stood in the middle hall and began to think. The changes in Cao Ang's mental level were already very obvious.

"Forget it, it's not important. Let's see the result." Xun Yu quickly adjusted his mentality. If he could pass this level, then everything would be fine. If he couldn't pass this level, then there would be no follow-up.

In the Cao clan, Cao Ang was testing the conditions of his brothers one by one, selecting those who could go to the battlefield and, although not in terms of how good they were at fighting, at least would not be a drag, and then arranged all the other brothers under Xiahou Yuan.

Although Tian Zhong said that not all of the Cao family's young and strong men were needed to go to the battlefield, and made it clear that most of them would only cause trouble if they went to the battlefield, Cao Ang still felt it necessary to drag those who were unqualified to go and experience it. Although they could not experience the most intense battlefield, they could go and take a look, so that they could understand how their current life came about and what their family's foundation was, which was also progress.

So even though Xiahou Mao and others strongly opposed it, they were still stuffed into the army by Cao Ang. This time, Cao Ang really intended to let these people feel what they looked down upon.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you this time." Cao Ang saluted Xiahou Yuan. He knew that letting these playboys go to the battlefield was not a good choice, but these people didn't even know the real situation of their own family. Cao Ang was somewhat worried. After all, he was their eldest brother and he really needed to consider them.

"I will try my best to protect them, but I can't guarantee anything if we really go to the battlefield. What's more, if the front line is defeated, that will be even more impossible." Xiahou Yuan said very sincerely. The battlefield is not a place to joke. If it really collapses, not to mention the children of Cao and Xiahou, even he, Xiahou Yuan, might die. So Xiahou Yuan must make this clear beforehand.

"But the Cao and Xiahou families now have many spoiled children who have left this society. We need to let them see the essence of this era and know how we got everything we have. Otherwise, they will just indulge in the efforts of their parents and ancestors..." Cao Ang said with some emotion, "Sooner or later, there will be no shelter and they will die without a burial place."

Xiahou Yuan remained silent, but had to admit that what Cao Ang said was correct. Indeed, the Xiahou family was a family of generals, and the Cao family was the descendants of eunuchs, neither of them were considered wealthy and powerful families. However, with the rise of Cao Cao, the new generation of heirs had suffered many deficiencies in education, and some of the younger generations had indeed forgotten why they possessed so many resources.

"To be honest, this is not a question of good and evil. Whether you are a good person or a bad person, if you want to occupy the upper reaches of the country's resources, you must rely on intelligence, ability, and sacrifice. Without these, even if you occupy it, you will be overturned and trampled into the mud later." Cao Ang sighed, "Whether it is the right way or the wrong way, to become bigger and stronger, at least you must know what you are doing and what you need to sacrifice."

That’s right, doing evil requires the awareness of death in order to grow bigger and stronger. When a large-scale evil organization grows bigger and stronger and collides head-on with so-called justice, its organizational structure, operational management and other aspects will not be inferior to its opponents.

However, most of the younger generations of the Cao and Xiahou families no longer have such awareness. Many of them do not even realize that their wealthy life is the result of their elders’ hard work and not something that fell from the sky, nor is it something they were born with!

"When necessary, you know." Cao Ang looked at Xiahou Yuan silently, "Then this is an imperial decree. Although it may not be effective, if something really goes wrong, you will execute it according to this plan. Compared with the other uncles, you are more reassuring."

After saying this, Cao Ang handed the edict that he had prepared long ago to Xiahou Yuan, and then left quickly.

After Cao Ang left, Xiahou Yuan opened the secret order, which contained the solution in case Cao Ang died in this battle, that is, to use special secret techniques to maintain Cao Ang's activity, and then gradually pass it to Cao Pi.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about this secret order. This is just the last worst option. If I am really so unfortunate, please support my second brother to stabilize the situation. There is no need to worry about the battle at the northwest entrance of Kabul. Even if I die, we will take it down and completely stabilize people's hearts." Cao Ang left such a decisive words at the end of the secret order. He was really prepared.

"General Dian, you have protected my father for so many years, and there has never been an accident. The accident only happened when my father left you. This time, I also rely on you." Cao Ang went to Dian Wei and said respectfully.

Chen Gong could take Cao Cao away but not Dian Wei, because Dian Wei's target was too big, his super-elite presence was too strong, and there was a possibility of tearing him apart and isolating him. In addition, Cao Cao also believed that Dian Wei was of great significance to the Cao family at present, so he did not take him away.

"Don't worry, Prince." Dian Wei, a straightforward man, has not realized the change yet. Cao Ang did not correct Dian Wei, but just smiled.

"As long as I, Dian Wei, am fine, the prince will definitely be fine!" Dian Wei said, patting his chest.

"Okay, then come with me to the battlefield." Cao Ang nodded. He knew that Dian Wei was such a person. He had no bad intentions, nor did he deny himself.

When Ardashir was about to withdraw to the Kabul Valley, Cao Ang had finally prepared everything. Under the protection of Xun You's special spiritual talent and the interference of Xu Huang's legion talent, an elite cadre of 10,000 people rushed all the way to the Kabul Valley.

"Strange, didn't we already change the weather? Why is it still raining so heavily?" After having his arm reconnected, Ardashir looked at the heavy rain in Kabul with a look of confusion on his face.

"Because the rainfall is too heavy, even if the weather is changed, it is impossible to completely stop the rain." Tavasdes frowned. He always felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't find it. At this moment, Tulansha came to report urgently.

"A mudslide occurred in the county town in the east?" Tawasdes was forced to interrupt his own thoughts.

Slipped, slipped, got up late
