Chapter 228 The High-Spirited Cao Mengde
In real history, Cao Cao, courtesy name Mengde, was from Qiao County, Pei State (now Bozhou, Anhui).
In ancient times, he was an outstanding politician, military strategist, writer, and calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms period.
All Chinese people with a little historical knowledge know the name of Cao Cao. His name symbolizes the most powerful princes in the Three Kingdoms period, and he is a brother to Yuan Shao, who has the deepest foundation.
In modern terms, that is Cao Cao's business card, which countless people want to get.
As soon as Lin Mu judged that Cao Cao appeared here, he made countless guesses.
In the mythological world, according to the normal historical trajectory, Cao Cao should be serving as a counselor in the Dragon Court at this time, and he and Yuan Shao, He Jin and other members of the aristocratic and foreign relatives faction are fighting against the eunuchs and planning to kill the eunuch faction. How could he appear here?
Lin Mu doesn't believe that Cao Cao would come here to sympathize with the people or to gain merits for the chaos in a county.
Cao Cao's grandfather was a super official. He had a deep network of connections in the Dragon Court. He could be a counselor by simply mentioning a filial and honest person. He could enter the Dragon Court and enjoy the fortune of the Dragon Court. How could he look down on the merits of this county?
In layman's terms, Cao Cao was an official for three generations. He was blessed by his ancestors and enjoyed countless political benefits. He would not look down on this merit.
There is a saying: There is no gain without early rise. Cao Cao came here to explore this Qinglong Village. There must be some big secret that attracted him, and some big benefit that forced him to temporarily give up the confrontation with the eunuchs and stay away from Kyoto to come to this wilderness.
Lin Mu's thoughts turned rapidly. He thought of the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom, the Jiuzhang Dragon Yuan Stone, and guessed the orthodox kingdom inheritance.
Could it be that Xu Zhao really had the orthodox [Yunchao inheritance], which attracted Cao Cao to come here?
It was an accident that Liu Pi, the general of the Taiping Dao, appeared in Kuaiji County. It was an accident that Xu Zhao rebelled early. It was an accident that the Taiping Dao and Xu Zhao were involved. Now Cao Cao appeared here, which was still an accident. Lin Mu found that there were so many accidents in this life, as if this mythological world was no longer the trajectory of the mythological world in the previous life.
Lin Mu had a feeling in his heart that since Cao Cao could appear here, would Sun Quan's father Sun Jian, Big Ear Liu Bei and other princes also appear?
Sun Jian was from Yangzhou and was a native of Wu County, which bordered Kuaiji County to the north. His appearance should not be a big surprise.
If Cao Cao was not here for fun, but wanted to capture Qinglongzhai like Lin Mu, it would mean that Xu Zhao had a big secret that attracted these dragons and tigers.
Lin Mu thought of the many princes of the Three Kingdoms and Liu Bei, who sold straw sandals in Youzhou, and he was extremely vigilant in his heart.
Liu Bei was ambitious and wanted to establish a dynasty that would never be defeated. Unlike real history, the straw sandals sold by Liu Bei were not ordinary straw sandals.
In ancient times, Jiang Taigong fished and those who were willing to take the bait took the bait. Today, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande sell straw sandals, and only those who share the same ideals can wear his straw sandals.
Many players think that Liu Bei has a personality and does not sell straw sandals casually. They all think that he is looking at the favorability, so players keep brushing Liu Bei's favorability. Continuously serve him and accumulate foundation for him.
At the same time, Lin Mu also knew that Liu Bei stayed in Youzhou County because he was told by a mysterious person that he would meet two gods in his fate to assist him, so that he could stay in Youzhou Zhuo County and wait for the destined person to appear.
The princes in the mythological world should not be underestimated. They are all extraordinary people, some are good at martial arts command, such as Sun Jian, some are good at commanding politics, such as Cao Cao, some are good at calculating and judging people, such as Liu Bei, some are good at political planning, such as Yuan Shao... and so on.
Lin Mu thought about countless things and remained silent...
...
Then, Lin Mu observed the other accompanying personnel without leaving any traces, and found that they were all iron-blooded people in the army, full of blood and energy, with strong arms, thick yellow calluses on their hands, dark complexion, standing posture like a pine tree, calm and majestic, and sharp eyes. At first glance, they were warriors who had been trained for a long time.
And their equipment was also excellent. Lin Mu observed carefully and found that these were not official standard suits. Could they be more refined and rare suits [Black Tiger Suit] and [Black Panther Suit]? These two sets of equipment are exclusive suits equipped by Cao Cao for [Tiger and Leopard Cavalry].
Looking carefully again, Lin Mu completely confirmed that these suits are [Black Tiger Suit] and [Black Panther Suit].
[Black Tiger Suit] and [Black Panther Suit] seem to have slight differences from some ordinary standard black armor on the surface, but not big. If you don't observe carefully and have this understanding, you really don't know what these suits are.
In the case of not being in combat form, or even infantry, these suits are really no different from ordinary suits, such as ordinary black armor.
However, in battle, when they transform into cavalry, these suits will be activated, and the fine lines on the armor will be highlighted. At that time, the suits will undergo a huge change, completely different from ordinary black armor.
Lin Mu didn't know how much resources and money were needed to build such a suit, but it must be expensive. Now the dozens of soldiers accompanying him all wear black tiger or black panther suits, which are Cao Cao's exclusive arms legendary level (seventh level) [Tiger Leopard Cavalry]. Cao Cao has now trained his exclusive arms, and he really has a deep foundation.
The exclusive arms legendary level [Tiger Leopard Cavalry] cannot be transferred and cultivated casually. It requires the qualifications of the soldiers to reach the seventh level or even the eighth level, and then consumes a certain amount of reputation, money, supporting equipment, supporting mounts, etc., which are all expensive.
...
"Lin Zhuangshi, you seem a little confused and clear when you hear me talk about the lord. Do you know my lord?" Mao Jie asked suspiciously.
"No, no, I am a commoner in the mountains, how could I know your lord? I just saw you talking about your lord with some admiration, so I was curious about who and what virtues you have to be assisted by such a great talent. I just can't wait to see this noble man." Lin Mu shook his head.
"Hahaha... Lin Zhuangshi's words are too flattering! Undeserved, undeserved!" A hearty laugh came from the wooden house, and Lin Mu and Mao Jie stood up immediately, turned their heads and looked at the wooden house, looking up.
The door of the wooden house creaked and slowly opened, and two figures stepped out of the room steadily.
The leader was not tall, only about 173 cm tall, which was relatively short; his skin color was a little dark, and it was obvious that he had been exposed to the sun for some days.
Looking at his face again, he had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and a pair of not-so-big eyes, which were bright and seemed to be able to burst out with a terrifying light, deep and mysterious.
Above his lips, he had two carefully groomed mustaches. His appearance was not handsome, but not ugly either, and he was of average appearance. Judging from his age, he was about 27 or 28 years old, very young.
His dress was very exquisite, wearing a black armor, black cloud boots, a Qingyun crown on his head, and the hair on his face was trimmed and tied up, which gave him a wise and powerful aura.
With his right hand on an exquisite sword, he walked slowly with his chest and head held high.
Although he was not tall, he walked steadily and had a strong aura. As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, as if he was the center.
Is this Cao Cao? Yes, he is Cao Cao. Lin Mu was amazed at Cao Cao's extraordinaryness.
Cao Cao walked to the side of the table, raised his sleeves lightly, sat down with extraordinary demeanor, adjusted his sword slightly, and then stared at Lin Mu and said: "Lin Zhuangshi, you are also an official of the court, right? The token of the Sima of the Separate Department on your waist is at the county level. Are you the Sima of the Separate Department of the County of Kuaiji County?"
Although Cao Cao was questioning, his tone had confirmed that Lin Mu was the Sima of the Separate Department of the County.
"Your Excellency has good eyesight. I, the Sima of the Separate Department of Dongye County of Kuaiji County, Lin Mu, greet you!" Lin Mu immediately performed the official etiquette of a subordinate meeting his superior, bowed slightly, and said calmly.
When Cao Cao was observing himself, Lin Mu also observed Cao Cao quickly, and found that in addition to wearing the Yunchao seal of Longting Yilang, he also wore a waist badge of the Sima of the Separate Department of the County, which made Lin Mu's idea come true.
Cao Cao really came for Xu Zhao, and he was equipped with the title of Sima of the Separate Department of the County. It seems that he came prepared, but I don’t know which county Sima of the Separate Department he is.
The county Sima is similar to Lin Mu's county Sima. They are all foreign agencies of the military in the mythical world. The only difference is that the county Sima is nominally higher than the county Sima and commands a higher number of troops.
In peacetime, the upper limit of the training of the county Sima is 50,000 soldiers, and the county Sima is 200,000. In the Yellow Turban Rebellion and other plots, the number of soldiers commanded will not be strictly required. You can expand according to your ability and funds to recruit local militia, but you will need to disband when the plot ends.
"No need to be polite, please sit down. Outside of Kyoto, I am the Sima of Danyang County. We are all like-minded people who contribute our own strength to the stability of the dynasty." Cao Cao said with a friendly face.
In fact, when Cao Cao appeared, Lin Mu heard the system's prompt:
"Ding!"
"——System prompt, player Lin Mu, you are in a special monarch's charm aura, and there is a certain chance that you will be conquered by the owner of this aura."
"Ding!"
"——System prompt, player Lin Mu, your Honghuang Dragon General skill [Dragon Affinity] has played a hidden feature, and you are not affected by the special monarch's charm aura."
After Lin Mu changed his job to Honghuang Dragon General, in addition to the five active skills, this passive skill [Dragon Affinity] has always been shelved and has never been used. Now it has played a hidden effect in Cao Cao's special aura. Honghuang Dragon General is indeed not as simple as it seems.
Lin Mu's understanding of Honghuang Dragon General is constantly increasing. Lin Mu has ideas about skills, professional characteristics, etc.
Especially the Tailong Wangqi Technique. Although the system's explanation is just an identification skill, if you understand it literally, Wangqi, Wangqi, it is a specific term for observing a person's luck in Feng Shui. It can definitely identify a person's luck. This is Lin Mu's guess.
Lin Mu had never used it to "look at the luck", but when Cao Cao appeared, Lin Mu couldn't help but have an impulse to use the skill to look at Cao Cao's luck.
Zhang Jiao has twenty dragons [dragon luck], I wonder how many dragons this super prince Cao Cao has? Thirty? Fifty? One hundred? Lin Mu is really looking forward to it.
Looking at the high-spirited Cao Cao, Lin Mu sat at the same table with him, as if a kind of self-confidence and heroism burst out from his chest. In his life, he has been able to sit at the same table and eat from the same plate with such an epic hero.
