"Alright, when the time comes, the soldiers of the three of us will wear sheepskins and sheepskin hats." Huchuquan spoke immediately, and Sima Yi nodded with satisfaction.

The matter had reached this extent, naturally, the host and guests enjoyed themselves. However, Sima Yi could not stay long; after drinking two cups of wine, he hurriedly left, fearing that too much time wasted might change the situation.

After Sima Yi left, Liu Bao began discussing with the two people. Although Sima Yi's previous words sounded good, there was still some degree of vigilance, for in this era, anyone who is careless could be doomed.

"Liu Bao, do you believe in what that guy said?" Huchuquan looked at Liu Bao and asked.

"It's more believable than the first imperial edict; the things written in the first edict were obviously fabricated, but we had to go south because of the Han Dynasty's power. However, anyone with a clear mind would know the one who delivered the edict was acting rashly." Liu Bao, having a relatively agile mind, immediately spoke.

"Indeed, the previous edict was completely rash, how could the Son of Heaven of Han recruit us into the Emperor's Personal Army?" Liu Qubi nodded in agreement, as any Hun People who weren't foolish would know it was impossible, but since this could be used as an excuse to wipe them out, they had no choice but to come!

"So, do you believe what they said is true?" Huchuquan asked the two.

"It seems that something big has happened in Chang'an, and the possibility of us moving south to stir the waters is much greater than what the edict said, so I tend to believe they're being truthful." Liu Bao thought for a moment and said, "My main suspicion is why they want us to make a move?"

This statement caused both Liu Qubi and Huchuquan to remain silent, indeed, from any angle, if the Han Dynasty really wanted to deal with them, it could be easily accomplished.

"Could it be to avoid casualties?" Liu Qubi pondered and said.

"The Han Dynasty will always choose merit over casualties; those who die have no way to criticize the generals' decisions, while the living have gained merit." Liu Bao sneered.

"Could it be that Chang'an has undergone a rebellion, and its power has greatly diminished, and they don't have enough strength to defeat us?" Huchuquan thought and spoke.

"Even so, could we attack Chang'an? What a joke, even if there are no soldiers in Chang'an, once we arrive, they could recruit more, and we wouldn't be able to conquer it; the northern Han Army isn't dead yet?" Liu Bao looked at Huchuquan helplessly.

"So, we actually have no choice." Liu Qubi retorted.

"That guy already made it clear; either we follow him to eliminate the rebels or be eliminated along with the rebels." Liu Bao sighed, "Making a move ourselves can still preserve more Vital Energy."

"Alas..." Huchuquan sighed deeply at the words, they had no choice.

"That's roughly it; if the other side can delay for six or seven days, and when the upper string moon is halfway, it's the best choice to move when the soldiers can see at night, otherwise, we'll have to wait for a Formation Battle." Sima Yi said wearily.

"Alright, alright, I didn't expect Zhongda to settle the outcome with one word." Cao Ang stood up joyfully.

"What's good about that? If it's a Formation Battle, which of you can command?" Sima Yi sneered, "If you guys had spent three months soaking in the camp with your seniors' teachings, not to mention anything else, arranging formations would still be possible; look at yourselves now, tell me who other than Cao Zidan can?"

Cao Ang sat down again, somewhat embarrassed; these people indeed lacked the training in the camp. Originally, if it weren't for the northbound incident, they would be brought to the camp by elders during this autumn and winter for training, but didn't the incident happen?

[Ah, I should have followed my father to the camp more often, decided, in the future, I will interact more with the soldiers.] Cao Ang thought silently.

Speaking of which, this time was also an accident; among the second generation left in Chang'an from the Cao Camp, except for Xiahou Shang and Cao Ang, most were sixteen. At this age, being born into a Military Family, the father would take them to the camp to start teaching and see if they had any aptitude.

Just like Guan Ping, when he wasn't old enough, he practiced martial arts at home, and Chen Xi even took him to wander the Flower Tower, engaging in bullying activities, beat up the descendants of the three Eastern Wu families, and snatched a girl back as a concubine.

However, after a certain point in time, Guan Yu took Guan Ping to the camp, starting to shift focus from martial arts and studying to commanding troops.

Of course, talent plays a role as well, but generally, the descendants of military families more or less train around this time, and since something major happened with Cao Cao this year, there wasn't enough time to train, nor could all descendants be taken north for training, so only the talented ones were selected.

As for Cao Ang, he could actually be understood as the Crown Prince; as the core of a second generation force, rather than honing skills, it's more important to stabilize the rear and calm the people's hearts.

This leaves those not suited for the military among the second generation, resulting in a somewhat dire situation.

"It would be best if you learned some Military Strategy when you have time. This kind of thing cannot be learned from books; in actual combat, anyone who isn't foolish can learn." Sima Yi suddenly spoke excitedly.

"We will definitely pay attention." Cao Ang nodded, aware of his situation after this incident, "But learning Military Strategy isn't easy, is it?"

"Quite the contrary, it's quite easy to learn." Sima Yi showed a mocking expression, but due to tiredness, it seemed somewhat odd.

"Is there any special method?" Cao Ang asked excitedly.

"Hmm, fight a few battles and not die, you'll learn everything you need." Sima Yi opened his eyes, revealing a cold gleam, and Cao Ang felt a chill in his heart at his words.

"However, in my opinion, most of those going north are unfit for cultivation, or only suited as valiant generals to charge formations; the rest are mostly unsuited for commanding troops, otherwise, they wouldn't have been left out of going north to see the world." Sima Yi stated with a hint of ridicule.

Cao Ang was startled by these words and recalled Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Lian, Xiahou Chong, and those strong-looking older fellows being taken away.

Seeing Cao Ang's unease, Sima Yi rarely continued, "You're different from them, and your cultivation method is also different, plus Lord Cao's forces have been insufficient, it's impossible to give you many opportunities for cultivation, those taken are certainly those who can be cultivated quickly."

Though still feeling low, Cao Ang understood much more; Cao Cao has struggled for years, the army wanting to split into three unable to waste recklessly.

"Cao Zidan is quite a promising talent, but too young, and Lord Cao is too busy with official affairs to pay attention; Cao Family's main brothers, hehe." Sima Yi merely chuckled lightly without explaining further.

Cao Zhen clenched his fists in response, having always thought about revenge, but never having the strength, now he finally understood what he lacked.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen bowed deeply to Sima Yi, then said no more.

"Alright, that's it; what's to be said has been told, now let's see the timing, if luck is good, we'll wait a few days for a night raid, if luck is bad, we might rely on you guys." Sima Yi said calmly.

"Thanks, Zhongda." Cao Ang rose and bowed, no longer disturbing Sima Yi.

As Cao Ang was about to leave with Cao Zhen, Sima Yi suddenly spoke up, "You have a few days, train the soldiers a bit, not expecting much, but the formation must be able to stand straight and square, even if outmatched, at least intimidate!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Cao Ang sighed deeply upon hearing this, recalling the previously chaotic and disordered soldiers.

At this time, in the northern Youzhou Han Army corps, Zhao Yun finally prepared the troops, equipped with days of rations. Only the White Horse cavalry, with its super speed, could rush to the junction of Bingzhou and Sili within ten days.
