Chapter 1236 The tip of the iceberg

The appearance of Xi Zhicai is very ordinary, and it is easy to be ignored when walking into the crowd. Yang Xiu, who has followed him, knows this best. However, Tang Xiaomi's strange thing is that Xi Zhicai's eyes are not as sharp and cold as the general superior figures in Jing'an Cao. In the depths of Tang Xiaomi's heart, there is an indescable dislike for the drama talent - she has been in Cao's camp for more than a year, and the two people she hate the most: one is Pang Tong, and the other is the drama talent in front of her.

The reason for hating Pang Tong is very simple and obvious. Pang Tong is an invisibility and arrogant person. Of course, he is very ugly, which undoubtedly gives Tang Xiaomi a more reason to hate him - however, Tang Xiaomi only hates this talent from the bottom of her heart, and there is no reason to say.

Although he has cultivated a very high taste in the handsome place of the Ma family, I have to say that the appearance of the drama talent will never be annoying at first sight. Therefore, Tang Xiaomi told herself in her heart that she hated Xi Zhicai because Xi Zhicai's face was that kind of unhealthy blue and white, which made people feel that he had always been a snake that had just woken up from hibernation. When he stared at anyone, he was wet and sticky...

Women's intuition is often accurate, and they often find reasons after intuition. And this time, the drama suddenly made by Xi Zhicai really confirmed Tang Xiaomi's intuition: "Cao, you can't help but believe Mr. Cao's words too much. Do you really think that I suddenly repented and turned around and threw himself into the Cao family?"

Hearing Tang Xiaomi's words, Cao Ang was a little embarrassed. He didn't know why Tang Xiaomi was still stubborn at this time. Does she think that she, a weak woman, can withstand the means of interrogating the repeat offenders in Jing'an? Although her father agreed to stay, he never agreed to guarantee her personal safety. Even if Xi Zhicai made any terrible torture on her, his father would not have any obstruction!

But Xi Zhicai didn't seem to hear Tang Xiaomi's words. At this time, he seemed to be more interested in Cao Ang's expression of obvious shame that Tang Xiaomi did not accept his kindness. However, before Cao Ang's shame had turned into anger, he said, "Young master, you haven't said what you saw from this secret newspaper."

Tang Xiaomi was ignored, which gave her more reasons to hate drama. Fortunately, Cao Ang finally came to his senses. He thought that his achievements could be displayed in front of the drama talent, and he couldn't help but regain some of the excitement he had just now. He put the secret newspaper in front of the drama talent and pointed to the words above: "Please see, this award ceremony is too flashy. But here..." Cao Ang pointed to words that almost anyone would ignore and continued, "You see, in addition to pure face-to-face projects such as granting military ranks, Ma Chao also specially awarded flags to all military forces!"

"Army Flag?" Xi Zhicai was a little puzzled and vaguely felt as if he had caught something, but when he suddenly thought about it, he seemed to have caught nothing.

"You see, Ma Chao then specially ordered his personal guard to go out under the guidance of the cavalry, carrying a large number of new officer uniforms and ranks to the four directions to change their ranks for other officers stationed outside. At the same time, without exception, they have brought a brand-new military flag - such hidden methods have always been Ma Chao's favorite!"

At this time, Xi Zhicai finally understood what Cao Ang meant. He looked at Cao Ang with an unbelievable look. In his eyes, there was obviously a fear and shock that penetrated into his bones: "Ma Mengqi's treachery and far-reaching vision is really unmatched in the world!"

However, both of them seem to have seen some clues in this 'face project', but to be honest, Tang Xiaomi knows nothing about these political means. Seeing the two people look like this, I want to know but I'm embarrassed to speak. For a moment, she was angry and speechless, and only stared at Cao Ang fiercely - as for why she subconsciously stared at that guy, Tang Xiaomi defended herself afterwards, because there was only an ordinary Cao Ang and annoying drama talent in the hall, she had no choice...

Seeing this, or male vanity, Cao Ang explained carefully to Tang Xiaomi: "Miss Tang, you think that at this grand award ceremony, all the famous generals of the Ma family have been deeply branded. This practice, which can satisfy the vanity of the generals, will only think that they will order their subordinates with the supreme prestige of the Ma family in the future. But I didn't expect why Ma Chao suddenly became so popular.

"What is the meaning behind it?" Tang Xiaomi blinked. Obviously, she really couldn't see the meaning behind it.

Cao Ang is Cao Cao's private leader of the next generation of the Cao family. Naturally, he has learned these methods more or less from Cao. At present, she continued to explain: "Naturally, Miss Tang can imagine. Why did Ma Chao deliberately distribute the unified and customized Ma military flag? This means that in the future, the branches of the Ma army can no longer use the surname of the general as the symbol of the military flag, but will begin to use the battle flag granted by the Ma family. In this way, on the front lines, all the soldiers of the Ma family will independently think that they are part of the Ma family regiment, and will subtly put the military status of the Ma family above the generals..."

Cao Ang is right. This move is indeed one of the reforms in Ma Chao's implementation of Ma Jiajun's standardization and external performance. Speaking of this, even Tang Xiaomi, who is not interested in politics and military affairs, suddenly showed a sudden enlightenment: the Ma family now has a vast territory and is too strong, and this time they have set up a front-line battle group. If they still implement the state pastoral system and unified military system used in the Han Dynasty, the master will have 100% of the troops under his command. Hundreds of power. Although all the officers serving in the Ma army are Ma Chao's trusted confidants. But purely theoretically deduced that if a general suddenly becomes dissatisfied with Ma Chao one day, he can definitely pull away his troops very easily.

In terms of Ma Chao's prestige and talent alone, as long as he reigns for a day, Ma Jiajun can only be a piece of iron. However, it is obvious that his vision is longer, he sees the rule of law directly from the rule of man, prepares for the rainy day, and strangles the root hidden danger before any signs of the problem emerges. And this is exactly what made Xi Zhicai admire and fear inexplicably just now...

"After all, Ma Chao was meticulous and awarded the military flag in public, which made us see the tip of this iceberg. Presumably, with the launch of this army, he also has many other safeguards that can ensure that the front-line legions are loyal to the Ma family, and can also make the generals willing to die for it. Cao Ang took his eyes away from Tang Xiaomi's slightly shy and embarrassed pretty face, and couldn't help looking to the east and sigh deeply, "If the Ma family is rectified this time, at most two years later, five fronts and more than 200,000 troops will point to Yanzhou. How should I, Cao deal with it?"

This topic is really a little heavy. Cao Ang and Xi Zhi looked at each other and felt as if they had been blocked by a huge stone. Even Tang Xiaomi, who had been expecting Cao's bad luck, was infected by Cao Ang's deeply worried look on his face and did not show a happy expression of gloating.

The three were immersed in this emotion and had nothing to say for a moment. Cao Ang was the first to come to his senses. As Cao's future successor, he could not be so ambitious to destroy his prestige. Then he asked Xi Zhicai, "Cao, didn't you just say that you also speculated a little from it? I don't know if you can say it clearly this time?"

When Xi Zhi heard this, he took a deep breath directly, and then stared at Tang Xiaomi. After making Tang Xiaomi's face clearly show disgust, he said heavily, "Young master, maybe this is just a random guess. However, I think Ma Chao's move is at least killing two birds with one stone. He is so laborious that he really wants to implement the reform of the Ma family's military system. But at the same time, he also succeeded in focusing our attention on this level. At this moment, if he sneaks into another group of shadows and does something that we don't know at all, then..."

Cao Ang's face was immediately full of gloom and fear before the rainstorm. He was a little clear but said with a trace of luck, "Is this news true? The Ma family really has a shadow to Xuchang... Then why did they come here?

"I don't know," Xi Zhi shook his head. After Cao Ang slowly looked at Tang Xiaomi in pain and entanglement, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, someone knows this news. And this time I came to ask Miss Tang about this..."
