"Does the Ninth Secret of the Royal Army have to be shouted out?" Looking at the direction in which Hou Cheng disappeared, Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing beside him in confusion. Every time Hou Cheng said this command, he felt a surge of emotion for Hou Cheng.
The sense of shame is so good.
"The Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army were created by Han Xin, the immortal soldier of the time, to check and balance Xiang Ji. In order to facilitate the dissemination, they are all shouted out with simple slogans. The slogans can activate the vitality of the entire army and thus mobilize the magical power of the army. Therefore, they must be shouted out.
But there are also those who use this method to the extreme, and their words and deeds can affect the vitality of the three armies, so they no longer need to use this method." Cao Xing nodded.
Chu Nan nodded. When Lu Bu conquered Xiaopei, he just waved his hand casually and the army ran like flying. The feeling was much stronger than that of Hou Cheng.
"By the way, General Cao, how many members of the Nine Secretaries of the Imperial Army do you have?" Chu Nan asked curiously.
"The last general is so stupid that he can only understand the hidden secrets so far!" Cao Xing said with a look of shame.
The Nine Secrets of the Royal Army have nothing to do with talent. As long as they know the method, all generals in the army can understand it. However, this test is about the understanding of using troops.
"What's the use?" Chu Nan asked curiously.
Is the hidden word secret a literal meaning?
"It can conceal the vitality of the army. If there is environmental cover, such as dense forests, valleys and other terrains suitable for ambush, it can allow the soldiers under the command to blend in with the surrounding environment. It will be difficult for those without special abilities to detect." Cao Xing bowed.
It turned out to be an old silver coin!
Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing, his eyes a little bright. Although Cao Xing did not have the commanding talent that increased marching speed like Hou Cheng, but combined with his personal talent, this hidden secret was clearly a magical skill that specialized in killing enemy generals.
!
No wonder it is said that if the Ninth Secret of the Marching Army has practiced any move to the extreme, he can be called a famous general. He does not know what it is like to practice the Ninth Secret of the Imperial Army to the extreme, but obviously it is not easy for others to notice. If he practices to the extreme, most military generals will see it.
If you don't come out, you can become a general under Yin Tian, not to mention invincible. After all, this hidden word secret has strict environmental requirements, but as long as the terrain is suitable, it is definitely the best weapon for Yin people.
"How is General Cao's practice going?" Chu Nan and Cao Xing asked as they walked back.
"Ashamed, I seem to be able to vaguely sense the secret of Shanzi now, but I have been unable to display it." Cao Xing said impressively.
Chu Nan suddenly stopped and looked at Cao Xing seriously: "General Cao, although I don't know the art of war, I do have some common principles. If General Cao feels that something is wrong, he can just ignore it."
"Sir, please tell me what you said." Cao Xing bowed.
"I think most people in the world are not far apart from each other in terms of understanding. Does General Cao think so?" Chu Nan asked.
"Yeah." Cao Xing felt a little sad. Although he had a talent, it was not a powerful talent. As for his understanding... he had been in the army for many years and had only understood one secret so far. It was really not that powerful.
"I think the Nine Secretaries of the Royal Army should also be divided into superiors and inferiors." Chu Nan thought.
Cao Xing nodded again. Advanced people like Lu Bu could perform the Nine Secrets without even shouting commands. They didn't even need to move a single movement.
"You said that if you are a general, there is one person who only practices one secret but is quite proficient in it, and the other person understands the three secrets, but is only rough in all three secrets?" Chu Nan asked seriously.
"If you are leading an army alone, naturally those who understand the Three Secrets are better, but if they have special uses, they will naturally be more powerful." Cao Xing knew very well that the Nine Secrets practice varies in depth and power, just like Lu Bu back then.
With the power of one person, he could defeat all the heroes in the world in front of Hulao Pass. No one could compete with him. Although Lu Bu had unparalleled military force, what was more important was that Lu Bu's Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army were already quite powerful at that time.
Cao Xing was stunned, looked at Chu Nan and said: "Sir, do you want me to practice intensively?"
"I used to be a merchant. For me, a person who can weave, forge, carpenter, and make bricks at the same time, but is not good at all, will not get much wages here. After all, he can do it at the same time.
There is only one thing he can do. He can't forge iron for me when weaving, and the things he makes are far less beautiful than those made by people who are proficient in this art." Chu Nan nodded: "Human energy is limited after all.
Being able to master everything means you can't master everything. Of course, if you are gifted, you will be able to master it as soon as you learn it, and you will be able to master it in a while. I don't think I said this."
Cao Xing nodded silently and saluted Chu Nan: "Thank you sir for your advice."
It doesn't matter whether he is good or not, but at least he is showing him the way.
"Just a casual remark, the general thinks it's good for nature. It's okay if it doesn't suit you." Chu Nan shook his head and smiled.
The two of them returned to the tent and went to rest separately. The Mantis King spent most of the day going back and forth. Hou Cheng went to find out the truth this time, but he couldn't fly. Chu Nan estimated that he would have to come back tomorrow and stay up all night.
It's not good for your health, so let Hou Cheng endure it.
Chu Nan returned to the tent and fell asleep. He slept until dawn and didn't get up until dawn. The demon mantis had already come back. Seeing Chu Nan get up, it fluttered onto his shoulder. This place almost became its exclusive place.
Chu Nan had the illusion that he was the opponent's mount.
Just getting up, Chu Nan ignored it lazily and followed his schedule, washing his face, gargling, and going to the toilet...
"Sir, why are you here!?"
In the toilet, Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing who rushed in with an ugly expression, and said unhappily: "Even if the sky falls, you have to wait until I go out."
"Oh~" Cao Xing quickly exited and waited outside the toilet.
After a while, Chu Nan came out of it with an irritated look. It was really hard to go to the toilet in this era. Among other things, he had to get the paper out, otherwise calluses would grow in his softest parts.
"What's the matter?" Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing with an unkind look.
"Sir, General Hou has returned to camp and is waiting in the tent." Cao Xing bowed and said.
"That's it?" Chu Nan said speechlessly.
The demon mantis is his own demon beast. The demon mantis is now lying on his shoulder. Would he not know that Hou Cheng is back?
Cao Xing looked at the demonic mantis on Chu Nan's shoulder and lowered his head silently.
"Let's go, let's finish talking about business and eat quickly." Chu Nan walked forward.
"Here!"
In the camp, Hou Cheng was already drawing something on a detailed map. When he saw Chu Nan coming, he quickly waved and said, "Come on Zi Yan, you must not have guessed where those pirates are?"
"Probably not on a certain island." Chu Nan sat down and replied casually.
"How do you know?" Hou Cheng looked at Chu Nan in astonishment.
"If we were on the island, you wouldn't ask this question, and if we were on the island, it would be difficult for the general to investigate," Chu Nan said casually.
"It doesn't count. Do you know Tianheng Island?" Hou Cheng asked.
"Yu Zhou?" Chu Nan looked up at Hou Cheng. This time, the shock on his face was real. The main reason was that this location was too special...
