Chapter 12 The Yellow Turbans of Dongjun, Cao Cao Sends Troops
Lu Yanke couldn't hear Xia Houlan's inner voice.
He saw a somewhat disappointed look on Xia Houlan's face,
Only then did he explain his intention of taking out the innate skill.
"The mysteries of innate skills are endless,
Even if practitioners cannot develop innate true energy, they can still stimulate the potential contained in the human body, enhance the body's immunity, and speed up the recovery of injuries."
After hearing Lu Yan’s explanation,
Xia Houlan came back to his senses and smiled again on his face.
Since the innate power is useful, it cannot be wasted.
However, Xia Houlan was still a little curious, so he asked:
"Sir, I wonder how many people have learned this innate skill, and how many people have cultivated the innate true energy?"
How did Lu Yan know about this?
So Lu Yan casually made up: "Aside from Wang Chongyang, the founder of Xiantian Kung, I am probably the only one who has cultivated Xiantian Qi.
As for how many people have learned Xiantian Kung Fu, I don’t know, but it’s probably no less…”
"This..." Xia Houlan was speechless.
This is too shocking...
If you don’t know, you still have some illusions. After knowing the "truth", you can stop thinking about anything...
Xia Houlan had already begun to regret asking these things.
However, having some cultivation techniques is better than nothing at all. It can stimulate the human body's potential and speed up the recovery of injuries. It is already very powerful.
Zhao Yun is so strong, firstly, because of the guidance of the famous teacher Tong Yuan.
The second is his own talent and hard work,
Under these conditions, Zhao Yun achieved what he has achieved today.
And what about Xia Houlan himself?
He just knows some martial arts passed down from his family,
His qualifications are above average, not too far behind Zhao Yun.
After facing up to my own shortcomings and recognizing my own gaps,
Xia Houlan sighed, put the bamboo slip into his arms, and bowed to Lu Yan again:
"Sir, Lan has nothing to repay for his great kindness. He can only serve as his teacher for the rest of his life!"
Lu Yan was thinking in his mind at this time, "If it weren't for the system and the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I definitely wouldn't be able to develop the innate true energy.
Although it is almost impossible for ordinary people to cultivate to the extreme level,
However, the universality of innate skills can improve people's basic combat power.
Maybe a person's combat power is not significantly improved,
But a hundred people can improve together,
The combined effect is quite impressive.”
Of course, not everyone can achieve the results of innate skills. The individual's own qualifications actually limit the possibility of most people practicing the skills.
After hearing Xia Houlan's statement, Lu Yan consoled him:
“It doesn’t need to be this way.
I originally planned to pass on the innate skills to all Changshan tribesmen,
Since you recognize me as your lord,
Naturally, I can’t treat you badly.”
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Xia Houlan was immediately moved and said, "On behalf of everyone in the Changshan tribe, Lan would like to thank you, sir. We are willing to die for you!"
"Hey! Don't die so easily, sir, let me live a good life!" Lu Yan patted Xia Houlan's arm and walked into the stable.
Only then did Xia Houlan realize that they had arrived in front of the stables.
Lu Yan took out a horse from the stable, and then said to Xiahou Lan: "Let's go to Chenliucheng quickly. Don't let Mr. Cao wait too long."
Xia Houlan quickly pulled out a white horse from the stable and responded loudly: "Yes! I will obey your order!"
...
Lu Yan and Xia Houlan came to Chenliu County Mansion.
After entering the meeting hall,
Only then did he realize that Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others, as well as Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, had all arrived.
Lu Yan took a quick look and found that,
Everyone present here includes Cao Cao,
Their faces all looked a little solemn.
Seeing that Lu Yan had finally arrived, Cao Cao pointed to the first position on the left and said, "You are here, Changsheng. Sit down and talk."
After Lu Yan came to his seat and sat down, he asked doubtfully: "Mr. Cao, your faces are so solemn. Is there a war?"
Cao Cao glanced at Lu Yan, nodded and replied:
"Late last night,
Yuan Benchu sent a secret letter,
The letter stated that hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, led by Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu and others,
Having already conquered Wei County, they must be attacking Dong County at this moment.
The prefect of Dongjun, Wang Gong, is weak and may not be able to withstand the Black Mountain Army's offensive..."
Lu Yan finally understood, so he took Cao Cao's words and said: "So Yuan Shao wants you to save Dongjun?"
Cao Cao replied:
"That's right!
We have discussed this before,
Yuan Shao wants to use the Yellow Turbans to weaken our power.
If we refuse to send troops, I am afraid Yuan Shao will make a big fuss about this matter and take the opportunity to damage the reputation I have gained with great difficulty."
Lu Yan fell into a brief thought at this moment,
He remembered that Cao Cao seemed to have officially made his fortune by annihilating the Yellow Turbans.
So Lu Yan raised his head and said to Cao Cao:
"Mr. Cao, if Dongjun needs to be saved, the Yellow Turbans must also be defeated. Although this is a crisis, it is also an opportunity!"
Cheng Yu looked at Lu Yan, who was determined to fight, and a strange color flashed through his eyes, and he thought to himself:
"I thought Lu Yan was only talented in governance, but I didn't expect that he also had a good vision in strategy."
After Cao Cao received Lu Yan's affirmation, he immediately ordered:
"In this case, we will send troops to Dongjun tomorrow.
I divided my troops into two groups, one led by Zhao Yun, with Le Jin as the vanguard, to attract the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans and lead them into a head-on battle.
The other group, led by myself and Xiahou Dun, attacked the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans from the side and rear."
Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun replied in unison: "The last general takes orders!"
Then, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and said: "You two can be army commanders. Come with me to Dongjun to defeat the Yellow Turbans!"
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu also raised their hands and said, "Here!"
Cao Cao looked at the slightly disappointed Cao Ren and others and said, "Everyone, Chenliu County is our foundation, and I hope you will protect it with all your strength."
"Here!"
As for Lu Yan...
Lu Yan was feeling happy when he saw that Cao Cao didn't call him. Suddenly, Cao Cao called his name.
"Lu Yan obeys the order!"
"Ah?" Lu Yan raised his head and looked at Cao Cao with a confused expression.
Cao Cao said to Lu Yan: "While we are leaving Chen Liu, Chen Liu's affairs will be left to you to decide!"
"No...how can I..." Lu Yan stood up and wanted to refute, but he also started to complain crazily in his heart: "Boss Cao, are you giving up the choice too smoothly and too quickly? You don't even look at it.
Do I want to take it...!"
Cao Cao knew Lu Yan's temperament and didn't dare to push him too hard.
"Sir, please don't worry.
I know you are thinking about farming,
But after we leave, only you can take over Chen Liu."
"..." Lu Yan was speechless,
But considering that Cao Cao took away Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, Mao Jie was not very good at this.
"It seems...it's really just me..."
You can't expect brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong to engage in people's livelihood and politics... Although Cao Ren may actually be able to do it in the future,
But now he is just an irritable young man.
Lu Yan reluctantly retreated,
Upon seeing this, Cao Cao said to Mao Jie:
"Xiao Xian, you have always been honest and fair. Changsheng still needs your help."
Mao Jie stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Here! Mao Jie takes the order!"
