Chapter 336
Cao Cao opened the box and said: "Shi Yuan, these are the 36 strategies compiled by Wu Ming himself. The book lists six sets of strategies, namely victory strategy, enemy strategy, attack strategy, melee strategy, merging strategy, and defeat strategy. The first three sets are the tactics used by the advantage, and the last three sets are the tactics used by the disadvantaged.”

Pang Tong put the book away and said: "The strategies of the predecessors can only be imitated by future generations. If they are copied, what is the difference between it and Zhao Tian's military talk on paper? Besides, Wu Ming's ten-year campaign was mostly based on tricks. The people in the previous life were military saints. Sun Wu, the stratagem of Jiang Shang, the ancestor of the army, is still unfathomable, how can Wu Ming be compared with it."

Cao Cao said with a wry smile: "Although this book was compiled by Wu Ming, he handed it over to Liu Ji, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others for revision. Afterwards, Wu Ming felt that there were still some shortcomings, so he copied a handover Let me rule it out again, and the explanations after each name are based on the theory of Yin and Yang changes in the "Book of Changes" and the mutual transformation of the opposite relations of the ancient military strategists such as rigidity and softness, odd righteousness, offense and defense, self and self, virtual reality, subject and object Deduced from thought, it contains elements of simple military dialectics."

Pang Tong said disdainfully: "My lord, do you mean that this Wu Ming can be on par with the Soldier Saint?"

Cao Cao was a little unhappy, but he didn't say it out. After all, Pang Tong is 16 now, and it's inevitable that he is arrogant, and he does have some insights.

Patiently said: "The public policy of gold and jade sandalwood is used to catch thieves, fish and snakes laugh in the sea, sheep and tigers are separated by peaches and mulberries, trees go dark and fools, cauldrons are empty and bitter people are far away, houses and beams have beautiful corpses, attack Wei Lian and attack Guo."

Pang Tong frowned: "The poem is a good poem, but I don't know what the lord is thinking."

Cao Cao said: "No word contains one of the 36 strategies. Wu Ming summed up this poem without losing its original meaning. There are a wide variety of categories, combined with each other, which makes people yearn for.”

As he spoke, his voice lowered, as if he was talking to himself: "Six six 36, there is art in numbers, and there are numbers in art. The principle of yin and yang is in it, and the machine is in it. Machines cannot be set, and machines will not be hit."

Pang Tong was taken aback, and then he looked at it squarely, and took out the 36 tricks again.

Turning to the first page is the poem mentioned by Cao Cao, and the official seals of Wu Ming, Xun Yu and others are stamped on the bottom. At a glance, there are more than [-] people.

Among them are many long-established celebrities such as Pang Degong, Zheng Xuan, and Song Zhong. This lineup alone is enough to make people look sideways.

Pang Tong looked back, and unconsciously murmured: "Cross the sea with the sky: if you prepare for the week, you will be lazy; if you see it often, you will not doubt it. Yin is within yang, not opposite to yang. Sun, Taiyin."

Cao Cao obviously knew the book by heart long ago, and said: "Wu Ming commented: When you are well prepared, you are more likely to become paralyzed; things you are accustomed to often lose your vigilance. Secrets often hide in public things, not in public things. Beyond the exposed things. When the publicly exposed things are developed to the extreme, they form the most secret hidden state."

Pang Tong's heart was moved, and he hurriedly found a pen and ink, and wrote in the book: "The so-called crossing the sea means deliberately using disguises to confuse and deceive the other party again and again, so that the other party relaxes their guard, and then acts suddenly, thereby achieve the goal of winning.”

Cao Cao's face changed, and he said happily: "Although Shi Yuan's comment is a superficial explanation, it is not biased. There are also Liu Ji and Guo Jia's comments below, which are more detailed. After the review by others, there is no change. I want to hide it. This plan has been recognized by everyone."

Pang Tong hastily read Guo Jia's and others' annotations, and nodded silently: "It is indeed impeccable. Such an annotation is refreshing, and the seemingly simple sentence hides hundreds of changes. It can be attacked or defended, a master of military tactics!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Shi Yuan is quite satisfied!"

For this sake, how could Pang Tong be unconvinced.

Standing up abruptly, he said solemnly: "My lord, please let me take a vacation for a period of time, and allow me to study the 36 strategies. If there is a breakthrough, it is also a great kindness."

Cao Cao clasped his palms together and said with a smile: "Guo Si is gone, and he was busy beheading and escorting him back to Luoyang recently. It's nothing to worry about, you can do whatever you want, but I only commented on the golden cicada's shelling and the secret storage of Chen Cang in this book. You have to read more for me. In order not to return this book in the future, it will be laughed at by Wu Minghe's soldiers."

Pang Tong was stunned: "Do you want to return it?"

Cao Cao said: "Although the original is not in my hands, there is only the original and the one in your hand in this world, so you must cherish it. After you make notes, copy a copy. This one must be returned to Wu Ming. , he trusts me, Cao Cao, so naturally I will not do anything bad."

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Leave that humble post!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and told him to get out of here.

When he left the tower, Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu.

"Zhongkang, you have been with me for a while. I was supposed to reward you when I fought in Yanzhou last year, but it has been delayed until now. It is really hard for you."

Xu Chu didn't know how to speak, scratched his head, and giggled.

Cao Cao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Forget it, I originally wanted you to choose one of my sabers, but you have a double-armed meteor hammer, so think about it, so let's do it, after I return to Beijing, Emperor Xian will definitely reward me , when the time comes, I will report you up and be named Xiaoqi Captain, how about it?"

Xu Chu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't think too much, and clasped his fists together and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

Cao Cao shook his head, this idiot, he wouldn't be tempted even when a great good thing happened to his head.

The other civil and military officers and soldiers were very surprised. Xiaoqi Xiaoqi was one of the eight captains. Although the Han Dynasty is declining and the country is in danger, the official position of the Xiaoqi Department is not so conspicuous. However, Cao Cao once served as the Xiaoqi Xiaowei and was in charge of the troops of Yuzhou. Ma, as long as this reward continues, Xu Chu will be a well-deserved celebrity under Cao Cao's command.

But Cao Cao did have such a plan, but he had another idea.

Xu Chu is simple and honest, and once gathered thousands of strong men and clans to build defensive facilities to resist the invasion of bandits.

At that time, more than [-] rebels from Gebei in Runan attacked Xu Chu. Xu Chu was outnumbered, exhausted from the battle, and his arrows were used up.

When the enemy soldiers rushed up, Xu Chufei retreated with stones, so the bandit soldiers did not dare to approach.

When the food was almost gone, Xu Chu pretended to make peace with the thieves and discussed using cattle in exchange for food. After the thieves moved the cattle away, they ran back. Xu Chu went to the front of the battle, tied up hundreds of cattle with iron chains, and pulled them After walking hundreds of steps with an iron chain, the thieves were so frightened that they did not dare to come back to get the cattle.

He supported soldiers privately, which was a big taboo. The court accused him of crimes, but in the end, the people came up with the idea to ask him to join Cao Cao, which saved his life.
