As early as the battle of the surprise attack on Xuzhou City, he began to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry, and he was also the person who best met Guo Jia's requirements in talent and personality among all the generals who led the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Therefore, Guo Jiacai did not hesitate to spend time and had frequent contact with the young generals of the Cao family, hoping to gain Cao Chun's trust and use it for him.

Hard work pays off, Cao Chun is a sensible person and understands Guo Jia's hard work, so he agreed to work for him, so he is now secretly following Xiahoudun and assisting him to return to Yanzhou.

These tiger and leopard riders do not seem to be ordinary people, the last time, when Guo Jia assigned half of the tiger and leopard riders to pursue Liu Bei, they had shown an unusual ability, they could run up the mountain in the middle of the night, and then condescendingly rushed into the army behind Guan Yu's palace, killing them by surprise.

Now this half of the tiger and leopard cavalry, although it is not the army that pursued Liu Bei that night, but obviously they also have that kind of special ability that is different from ordinary people, in such a pouring rain, they are completely unaffected, and they can still ride horses at full speed.

You know, the road they are walking on now is not a smooth road, it is a narrow and rough road, and if in the daytime a good rider can run on this road at a faster speed, but at night, after the sight has deteriorated, it is dangerous to maintain this speed.

Only the most skilled horseman, combined with good horses, can keep galloping on the trail at night when the vision is not clear.

And Xiahoudun and these tigers and leopards are just such masters.

Not to mention that Xiahoudun has been skilled in bowing and horses since he was a child, and today's riding skills, among Cao Jun, say that it is the second, no one dares to say the first, so Guo Jia ordered him to lead the tiger and leopard to ride to rescue Yanzhou, and one of the reasons for his fancy is his superb riding skills.

And the tiger and leopard cavalry naturally needless to say, they are all ace cavalry carefully selected by Guo Jia from the Cao army.

Today's Cao army, although there are hundreds of thousands, but among them, only tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops have excellent combat strength, and the rest of the Qingzhou army are all rabble who have not been trained for a long time, and they can only rely on the advantage of numbers to achieve victory with crowd tactics.

And the tiger and leopard ride, it is from here

Among the outstanding Yanzhou troops, the elite divisions selected can be described as the elite of the elite.

They not only have outstanding physical fitness, but also have excellent fighting skills, and their name is "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", and the soldiers in the army have the best riding skills.

The purpose of his army is what Sun Wuzi said: the love of the soldier is the main speed, taking advantage of the lack of people, and attacking what he does not quit by the way of danger.

This means that the purpose of using troops is to be swift, to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, to take the path that the enemy does not expect, and to attack places where the enemy is not on guard.

At the same time, it is also the truth that soldiers are expensive to win, not expensive for a long time, and the reason why Guo Jia wants to train such an elite division in Cao's army is to implement the tactics of quick battle and quick victory to the end.

In the battle of Xuzhou, Guo Jia used the tactics of a surprise attack on Xuzhou City, although there was a risk of being surrounded by the enemy, but he led his troops to fight for the first time, but he still managed to rush to the outside of Xuzhou City at a very small cost, and defeated the Xuzhou army that went out of the city to meet them in a surprise way.

If it weren't for the rebellion of the Qingzhou Army later, which disrupted Guo Jia's entire plan, they would have been the masters of Xuzhou long ago.

But now, not only did they not occupy Xuzhou, but even their hometown of Yanzhou behind them was also in danger.

Fortunately, they had already controlled the rebellious Qingzhou army, and with Guo Jia's two tigers, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fought each other, and they had no intention of pursuing the retreating Cao army.

Now the only question left is how to return to Yanzhou as quickly as possible.

And the most important problem is to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy and return to Yanzhou in a state of ignorance.

Therefore, once the whereabouts of Xiahoudun and the tiger and leopard cavalry are exposed, it is very likely that they will be intercepted by heavy enemy troops.

Although Xiahoudun is extremely brave, and the tiger and leopard are brave and good at fighting, all of them can be ten with one, but the opponent they are facing now is the unparalleled fierce general Lu Bu who has the courage of ghosts and gods, he is a monster that even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't defeat together, even if Xiahoudun is brave, if he encounters such an opponent, it will be difficult to win, so they can only return to Yanzhou quietly in a secret state.

And Liu Bei's night attack, and the arrival of heavy rain, all

It is part of Guo Jia's scheme.

It stands to reason that Liu Bei, as a reinforcement, attacked Cao's army at night, although it could not shake Cao's position, but it would not be a good thing.

After all, for the Cao army, even if they eliminated this reinforcement, they would not get any benefit, because they already did not plan to continue to stay in Xuzhou, and continuing to fight with the reinforcements of other princes would only increase casualties and affect morale, which was an even worse thing for the Cao army that was now panicking.

But Guo Jia didn't think so, as early as before Tian Kai's reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, Guo Jia had expected where they were stationed, so he sent members of the Black Hundred Tongues to lurk there early and reported every move of Tian Kai and Liu Bei to Guo Jia.

Therefore, when Liu Bei and the others planned to attack Cao Ying at night, Guo Jia knew that the time had come for him to send reinforcements to rescue Yanzhou.

When the news that Liu Bei's reinforcements were going to attack Cao's position at night was made public at the military meeting, Cao Cao's generals were in an uproar, especially the militant elements, Cao Hong and others, who were clamoring to strike first and immediately start a war against Tian Kai's army stationed on the mountain.

Even Xiahoudun, who has always been calm, also showed frost on his face, it seems that the grim form has already made these generals impetuous, unable to keep calm, in the face of Liu Bei's provocative actions, the generals with a fiery personality naturally can't sit still, and they are about to start fighting when they open their mouths and close their mouths.

Seeing that the scene was out of control for a while, Cao Cao waved his hand lightly, and the originally noisy people also quieted down.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Guo Jia beside him, this strategist who had not said a word since the beginning of the military discussion, was now silently watching the reactions of the generals, as if he had been observing everyone's attitude towards this matter.

After this observation, he seemed to have the answer in his heart.

Cao Cao asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Cao Jun commander's tent, gathered all the important generals and strategists, all along, Cao Cao when making important decisions, will brainstorm and ask everyone's opinions, but this time is different, he did not ask other people's opinions, but directly asked Guo Jia, as a military advisor, how to deal with the upcoming attack.
