Xi Zhicai's appearance is very ordinary, and he can easily be ignored when walking among the crowd.
Yang Xiu, who has followed him, knows this best.
However, what was strange to Tang Xiaomi was that Xi Zhicai's eyes were not as sharp and cold as those of ordinary high-ranking figures in Jing'an Cao.
Deep down in Tang Xiaomi's heart, she had an indescribable dislike for Xi Zhicai.
She had been in the Cao camp for more than a year, and there were two people she hated the most: one was Pang Tong, and the other was Xi Zhicai in front of her.
The reason for hating Pang Tong is very simple and obvious.
Pang Tong is an incomprehensible and arrogant person.
Of course, he is very ugly, which undoubtedly gives Tang Xiaomi more reasons to hate him.
However, for this drama Zhicai , but Tang Xiaomi just hates it from the bottom of his heart, without any reason.
Although he has developed extremely good taste in the Ma family where there are so many handsome guys, it has to be said that Xi Zhicai's appearance is definitely not disgusting at first sight.
From this, Tang Xiaomi told herself in her heart that she hated Xi Zhicai because Xi Zhicai's complexion was that unhealthy blue-white color, which made people feel like he was always a snake that had just woken up from hibernation, staring at everyone.
When the time comes, it’s all wet and sticky Women's intuition is often very accurate, and they often find reasons after their intuition.
But this time, Xi Zhicai's sudden drama really confirmed Tang Xiaomi's intuition: "Xi Gong Cao, you believe too much in Mr.
Cao's words.
Do you really think that you, I suddenly Then he repented and turned around and joined the Cao family."
Hearing Tang Xiaomi's words, Cao Ang was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know why Tang Xiaomi was still being stubborn at this time.
Does she think that she, a weak woman, can withstand the methods used by those in Jing'an Caoli to interrogate felons?
Although her father agreed to her staying, he never agreed to guarantee her personal safety.
Even if Xi Zhicai did anything terrible to her, His father would not stop him from being tortured.
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 that was obviously embarrassed that Tang Xiaomi did not accept his kindness.
However, before Cao Ang's embarrassment turned into anger, he said, "Young Master, you haven't told me what you learned from this secret report."
Tang Xiaomi was ignored, which gave her even more reasons to hate Xi Zhicai.
Fortunately, Cao Ang finally came back to his senses.
Thinking that his achievements could be displayed in front of Xi Zhicai, he couldn't help but regain some of the excitement he had just now.
He placed the secret report in front of Xi Zhicai, pointed to the words on it and said: "Xi Gong Cao, please take a look.
This awarding ceremony is too flashy.
But here" Cao Ang pointed at words that almost anyone would ignore.
Go up and continue: "Look, in addition to purely honorable projects such as conferring military ranks, Ma Chao also specially awarded military flags to each army."
"Military Flag" Xi Zhicai was a little puzzled.
He had a vague feeling that he had caught something, but when he thought about it suddenly, it seemed that he had caught nothing.
"Cao Cao, you see, Ma Chao then specially ordered his personal guards to go out in large numbers under the guidance of the cavalry, carrying a large number of new officer uniforms and military ranks to all directions to confer titles and uniforms for other officers stationed abroad.
At the same time, without exception, , all brought brand-new military flags and other means of concealing the truth, which has always been Ma Chao's favorite."
Xi Zhicai finally understood what Cao Ang meant at this time.
He looked at Cao Ang with disbelief.
In his eyes, there was obviously a kind of fear and shock that penetrated into his bones: "Ma Mengqi is so treacherous.
The depth of vision is truly unparalleled by anyone in the world.”
However, both of them seemed to have seen some clues in this face-saving project, but to be honest, Tang Xiaomi knew nothing about these political methods.
Seeing the two people looking like this, I wanted to know but was too embarrassed to ask.
Momentarily angry and speechless, Tang Xiaomi could only stare fiercely at Cao Ang.
As for why she subconsciously stared at that guy, Tang Xiaomi defended herself afterwards, because there was only an ordinary Cao Ang and the annoying Xi Zhicai in the hall, and she no choice Cao Ang saw this, perhaps because of male vanity, and carefully explained to Tang Xiaomi: "Miss Tang, think about it, in this grand awarding ceremony, all the famous generals of the Ma family were deeply imprinted.
This kind of extreme can satisfy the generals.
They acted out of vanity, only thinking that in the future they would command their subordinates with the supreme prestige of the Ma family, but they could not imagine the meaning behind why Ma Chao suddenly mobilized his troops. " "The meaning behind it."
Tang Xiaomi blinked, obviously she couldn't see the meaning behind it.

Cao Ang was privately designated by Cao Cao as the next generation leader of the Cao family, so he naturally learned these methods more or less from Cao Cao.
He continued to explain: "Of course, Miss Tang can imagine.
Why would Ma Chao specially distribute the uniformly customized Ma family military flags?
This means that in the future, the Ma family army groups can no longer use the general's surname as the military flag.
Instead, they began to use the battle flag uniformly awarded by the Ma family.
In this way, all Ma family soldiers on the front lines will independently consider themselves to be part of the Ma family war group, and will subtly place the status of the Ma family military system above the generals. " Cao Ang is right.
This move is indeed one of Ma Chao's reforms to implement Ma Jiajun's standardized external performance.
When it comes to this, even Tang Xiaomi, who is not interested in politics and military affairs, showed a look of sudden realization: The Ma family now controls a vast area and has an excessive military force.
This time it has organized a large-scale frontline battle group.
If the Han Dynasty still implements the According to the state pastoral system and the army command system inherited from the DPRK, the commander-in-chief will have 100% power over the troops under his command.
Although all the officers currently serving in the Ma family's army are Ma Chao's trusted and valued confidants.
But purely based on theoretical reasoning, if a certain general suddenly becomes dissatisfied with Ma Chao one day, then he can definitely pull away his troops very easily.
Judging from Ma Chao's prestige and talent alone, as long as he is in power for one day, the Ma Jiajun will definitely be monolithic.
However, it is obvious that he has a longer-term vision, directly looking at the rule of law from the rule of man, and taking precautions to nip the root causes of hidden dangers before they show any signs of problems.
And this is exactly what made Xi Zhicai admire and fear him just now.
"After all, Ma Chao was very careful and awarded the military flag in public, which allowed us to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
Presumably, along with the issuing of the military flag, he also has many other things that can ensure that all frontline legions are loyal to the Ma family.
And it is like a brawny arm, and it can also make all the generals willing to work for it.
"Death safeguards."
Cao Ang moved his gaze away from Tang Xiaomi's slightly shy and embarrassed pretty face, couldn't help but face the east, and sighed deeply: "If the Ma family is reorganized this time, in two years at most, five fronts, two fronts, and two fronts will be destroyed.
More than 100,000 troops are targeting Yanzhou, how should I, the Cao family, respond?"
This topic was indeed a bit heavy.
Cao Ang and Xi Zhi just looked at each other and felt as if their hearts were being weighed down by a huge boulder.
Even Tang Xiaomi, who had always hoped for Cao's misfortune, was infected by the deep-seated look of sorrow and pity on Cao Ang's face, and no longer showed any expression of gloating.
The three of them were immersed in this emotion and had nothing to say for a while.
Cao Ang was the first to come to his senses.
As the future successor of the Cao family, he could not let other people's ambitions destroy his own prestige.
He then asked Xi Zhicai: "Xi Gong Cao, didn't you just say that you also inferred from it?
How many points, I don’t know if I can say it clearly this time.”
When Xi Zhi heard this, he took a deep breath, then stared at Tang Xiaomi until Tang Xiaomi had a look of disgust on his face, and then said seriously: "Young Master, maybe this is just a random guess.
However, I think Ma Chao at least kills two birds with one stone.
Wow.
He has spent so much time and effort to sincerely implement the Ma family's military reform, but at the same time, he has also successfully focused our attention on this level.
At this moment, if he sneaks into another group of shadows and does something to us.
Something I don’t know about at all, then.”
Cao Ang's face was immediately filled with gloom and fear like the one before a heavy rain.
He understood a little but held a trace of luck and said: "This news is true, there is a shadow of the Ma family who has come to Xuchang.
So why are they here?"
"I don't know," Xi Zhicai shook his head.
After Cao Ang slowly laid his eyes on Tang Xiaomi with pain and confusion, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, someone knows this news.
And this time I'm here. , just to ask Miss Tang about this matter":
