The God of the Three Kingdoms
307 Chapter 307 - Wu Qi's Self-reflection
Cao Cao is someone Wu Qi heard from many of the strangers attached to the City of God and Howe's men.
"I would rather teach the world to negative me, than teach the world to negative me!"
This is one of Cao Cao's most famous quotes, and one of his biggest black marks.
The way barons do things is often unscrupulous, destroying what they can't get, which seems to be in line with their core values, so is Cao Cao really behind these people?
"Thanks to Big Sister's poisoned arrows, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to handle these people!"
The exchange is still going on, Wu Qi can only temporarily put aside his gradually dispersing thoughts, after all, the main goal now should be to get out of the current predicament, even if we can't escape even if we know who is behind it.
"Who would have thought that there was such a precise little mechanism on the end cluster of the arrow? Before, we thought that we would shoot Lin Xiaodao and then be blocked by Huang Zhong or Zhao Yun, so that the medicinal powder hidden on the end cluster could be sprayed out to dry them up in an instant.
Another voice of surprise with a hint of disdain sounded, which also made Wu Qi understand how they were poisoned.
Contact? It was just Wu Qi's guess, and it is normal for him to be wrong, after all, no one will never make a mistake, but what he blamed himself for was the poisonous powder hidden in the tail of the arrow that hit them.
With their strength, no matter how hidden the poisonous powder was, they should have been able to find it at the first time, but the fact is that they were so distracted that Lin Xiaodao was directly injured by the arrow, and because Lin Xiaodao was hit by the arrow, several of them were inevitably in a state of self-recrimination, which caused their attention to be completely drawn to the hidden archer, not being able to find the powder floating in the air at the first time!
Whose fault is it? Wu Qi knew that it was their own fault, and could neither refute nor shirk.
"It's strange that my arrow wasn't blocked. It's fortunate that I didn't shoot at his vital points at that time, or else Lin Xiaodao would have died and returned to the city.
Bitterness, remorse, and all sorts of feelings surfaced in Wu Qi's heart, his own lord's life actually had to be saved by someone else's hand.
In the past, they boasted of their greatness and did not take the people of the world into consideration, and even at Xuchang, they followed Cao Cao into his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry camp with only a few tricks!
Now that I think about it, I wonder how bold they really were at that time.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was known to Wu Qi, but when did he, who had been running the world with Wei pawns, take the so-called Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into consideration?
Judging from past performance, it is almost impossible for any army to round up and kill a first-class or even saint-level general like them nowadays, but who can guarantee that such an army will never appear?
And it wasn't just the Tiger and Leopard riders who weren't weak in his eyes, there were also nearly double-digit first-class generals present.
Indeed, in today's Three Kingdoms world, no one is a match for Huang Zhong except Lu Bu and Bai Qi, but what if their goal was simply to slow him down? Just as Zhang Liao was holding back Zhao Yun at that time!
With an army of tiger and leopard cavalry and thick-skinned infantry warriors such as Ceng Wei and Xu Chu to slow down Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao to slow down Zhao Yun, would Wu Qi be able to keep his lord? The answer is obviously no. The only problem was that Wu Qi or the generals of the city were too proud at that time!
It's just that Wu Qi or the generals of Shenhoucheng at that time were too proud!
In the Battle of Jingzhou, no one is a match for Shenhou City! Although they discounted Huang Shu, everyone tacitly agreed that what happened to Huang Shu was due to his own carelessness, but no one ever wondered why Huang Shu was careless to that extent!
After unifying Yizhou, they deliberately split it up to keep a low profile, which is a sign of their confidence and even pride.
Subconsciously they tacitly agree that even if they give Liu Yan and his people territory, Liu Yan can't afford to turn the tide!
Pride, too much pride, all the people of the City of God have this problem, and today, this problem is bringing them ruinous results!
"Sister, what should we do with them next?"
Is it time to pronounce the end? Wu Qi thought to himself.
"Let's tie them up first!"
The woman's voice was incomparably cold and with a hint of resentment.
"Only ruthless he didn't bring that person out, but it doesn't matter, with him in my hands, that person will show up sooner or later!"
The woman seemed to have a long-standing grudge against Lin Xiaodagger, but Wu Qi had no idea who this person was, and he had very little information.
The sound of footsteps approached, and Wu Qi heard a few voices that sounded slightly surprised.
"Oh wow, why did Wu Qi and Lin Xiaodao tie themselves up? Is it more comfortable to be tied to a horse than two people riding together?"
"Bullshit, how can being tied to a horse be more comfortable than sitting on it?"
Wu Qi failed to think of the other party's tactics, and the other party failed to guess Wu Qi's thoughts, which made Wu Qi feel a little better inside, but immediately someone else started his speculations!
"I guess he didn't think our poison could be spread by contact, did he? Is that why you tied yourself to your horse to avoid contact with Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong?"
The first sentence of the guess was right! Is this intellectual crushing? Wu Qi's heart is full of mixed emotions, and this feeling of being crushed by IQ is really unbearable!
Suddenly, a breath came fiercely close to Wu Qi's face, followed by words of ridicule and bravado.
"How could General Wu make such a mistake? After all, if you can poison a man through contact, that means you can poison a horse through contact! How could General Wu make such a low-level mistake?"
Low-level mistakes? The endurance of horses, especially those like the BMWs they ride, is even higher than theirs, so even if they inhale the poisonous powder at the same time, they all fall down and their horses still have the energy to keep running!
But why would this person say such a thoughtless thing after clearly guessing his thoughts? Unless, of course, they got the answer early on, and the so-called guess they just made was just an answer they read off the top of their heads!
Listening in? Is there even surveillance? If this is the case, it makes sense that Zhao Yun's strength was a problem and that these people were able to get to the place where they eventually fell in time and at a great distance from them.
But where did the so-called wiretaps and even surveillance objects come from? Wu Qi thought of the girls who had given them the sachets when they left from Cao Cao's place.
"Really, how calculating!"
Wu Qi couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
