Chapter 351 Buying a Horse Old Thing
Since there really is such a method of frightening horses, Yuan Shao confirmed what happened before, and naturally understood, it seems that the fright of horses is not accidental, but the sound of the horn has played a role.
It must be someone in Cao's camp who knows this kind of secret method.
Now he has no corresponding countermeasures, even if he attacks Guandu, it is inevitable that the old things will repeat themselves.
But let him give up the cavalry on his own initiative, which will not work.
After all, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry was also elite, and he made a name for himself in the Huainan War, and he only took foot soldiers to attack Guandu, which was too much of a loss.
"Is there nothing there can do?" Yuan Shao looked at the silent civil and military forces in front of him in disappointment.
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, they thought it was a simple matter to raise horses, but they didn't expect that there was such advanced knowledge in it, they didn't know anything.
"Actually...... There may not be no way, I don't know if you want to use it," the steppe man suddenly said.
"What's the solution? Quickly said, "Yuan Shao immediately became interested.
The steppe human: "You can pierce the horse's ear with a steel needle, and turn all the horses into deaf horses, so that the horses cannot hear anything, and naturally they are no longer controlled." ”
"Wonderful," Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Why didn't you expect this layer?" ”
Since the other party uses the sound of the horn to control the horses, he directly turns the horse into a deaf man, and let you blow your throat, and the horse will not be able to hear.
Anyway, the soldiers drive the horses, and they don't just rely on their sounds, they knock the horse's belly with their feet and pump the horse's buttocks, which are all signals for the offensive to advance.
Therefore, the horses cannot hear, and it has no effect on combat effectiveness.
"Pass the order, deafen all the horses, set off tomorrow, and kill Guandu."
Immediately a general went down and gave orders.
Getting such a good idea can solve this problem perfectly, and the oppressive atmosphere that shrouds the big tent is swept away.
"When you solve my urgent needs, I will be rewarded."
Yuan Shao was in a good mood, and he was also interested in talking, and suddenly remembered one thing, and pointed to the grassland people: "Give a seat, give wine." ”
Immediately, an attendant came over and served wine and meat to entertain the steppe people.
"A few months ago, someone went to the grassland to buy horses, have you ever heard of it?" Yuan Shao asked casually.
"This matter is spreading in the grassland, and although we have a low status, we have also heard of it."
"I heard that Yuan Gongzi was rich and bought a good horse for King Bei, and the envoy of the Cao clan retreated to the next best thing, so he could only buy the bad horse of the Dolan tribe."
"Wait," Yuan Shao asked suspiciously, "Are you sure that the Cao envoy bought a bad horse?" ”
The grassland people are sure of it: "Although the horse is not good, but the Cao envoy still paid a very high price, this matter is known to everyone on the grassland, and there are still people who praise the Cao envoy for his benevolence and righteousness, and did not take advantage of the danger of others." ”
"Speaking of which, the Cao envoy is really benevolent, and before leaving, he also took away the fallen Butu clan, and I heard that he also recommended Na Butu to be a big official and married the daughter of the Dolan patriarch, I don't know how many slaves on the grassland died in envy, but unfortunately, we don't have a sister like Sanqige to give to the Cao envoy."
"By the way, the Butu tribe is also a must for raising horses on the grassland, and Butu must also know the secret art of frightening horses."
After a few bowls of wine, these steppe people began to know everything, and they began to speak endlessly.
"Damn!" Yuan Shao glanced at the judge, slapped the table angrily, and stood up.
Many things that I couldn't understand before, after these people said it, they were slowly connected.
"Ming Gong, I'm afraid that the second son was deceived," the judge said: "I heard that after the second son received the horses, the horses were frightened once, since the secret method called Butu mastered, and that Butu was Liu Ping's person, it can be seen that the horses were frightened on the grassland, it was no accident, and the horses were shocked the day before.
What's more, Liu Ping once bought inferior horses in the grassland.
Thinking that he must have caused that horse shock, and then took the opportunity to steal the beams and change the pillars. ”
"It must be so," Yuan Shao said with tears in his eyes: "This also makes it clear why the good horses bought by Xianyi died in pieces, while the bad horses bought by the Cao family formed a tiger and leopard ride to become famous all over the world."
That's all riding my horse!! ”
Yuan Shao's anger was like thunder, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
He went to the court with Qubei for this matter, and Cao Cao also pretended to stand up for justice.
Dare to love all this is Cao Cao behind the ghost, Cao Cao got cheap and sold well, and finally the black pot let him carry it, I really don't know what Cao Cao had to laugh at that time.
"Order to go back to Yecheng and give me Xu Yu's corpse in pieces!"
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said.
asked Xu You to go to give advice to Yuan Xi, but in the end, he fell into the trap of others, causing him to spend money in vain, and was laughed at by the world.
This kind of person is not enough to calm the hatred in his heart.
Xu Yu is proud of his talents, and his popularity is very average, Yuan Shao was angry and ordered to kill him, and no one stood up to intercede.
An attendant answered, and immediately rushed back to Yecheng to pass the order......
Yuan Shao's own soldiers pierced all the horses in the ears that night, and the horses were in unbearable pain and inevitably became restless, and it was not until the third day that they gradually quieted down.
Yuan Jun continued to kill and run to Guandu......
……
Guandu.
Cao Jun built the fortifications for several days, and finally completed them, and began to wait for the arrival of Yuan's army.
Inside the big tent, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Yuan's army will arrive soon, although we have fortifications, we still need to be careful."
At that time, arrows were indispensable, and the order was sent back to Xudu, so that Ang'er could quickly send the arrows made by the superintendent. ”
Before a big fight, it was customary to attack with ranged weapons first, and then to fight hand-to-hand, both on the offensive side and on the defensive side.
Previously, Cao Cao also ordered Cao Ang to make arrows.
However, the Cao clan was obviously not as well prepared for the battle of Guandu as the Yuan clan, and the Yuan clan had already made millions of arrows by Gao Lan, but the Cao clan only added up to hundreds of thousands.
"In addition, the crisis in the rear has been eliminated, and after the order is ordered, after the arrangements are made, hurry up and lead the army to Guandu to assist in the defense, and there must be no delay," Cao Cao gave another order.
There is no way, since the defeat of Cao Chun Xiahou Yuan, the gap between the number of Cao Jun and Yuan's army has become even greater, and at this time, it seems that the 10,000 people under Liu Ping are particularly important.
……
Soon, Yuan's army was slaughtered to Guandu.
Yuan Shao let the cavalry in front and the foot soldiers in the back as usual, and lined up to scold.
Cao Cao asked Butu to come out again and blew the horn.
But no matter how Butu blows, Yuan Jun's horse formation does not move at all and turns a deaf ear, and Butu immediately understands that this is because Yuan Jun has taken precautions and stabbed the horses deaf.
"I'm a beginner," Cao Cao smiled as he pinched his beard.
Since you can't take advantage of it, you can only fight it with dignity.
Anyway, the fortifications they built were nearly three feet high, and the cavalry was really of little use.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but sneer when he saw Cao Cao make this move again, and pointed to the fortifications built by the Cao clan and ordered: "Break through Cao's army camp within three days."
In the coming day, I will unify the Central Plains and calm the world, and I will share the wealth with all the kings!
Kill! ”
"Kill!"
100,000 Yuan troops were killed like a tide towards the Cao army camp that stretched for dozens of miles from east to west......
