Cao Cao is such a human spirit, as soon as he heard Jia Xu's words, he immediately reacted.

He knew that Jia Xu was a low-key person, and at present, under his command, in addition to working diligently on weekdays, he rarely showed the limelight, and he was especially reluctant to offend his colleagues, and Cao Cao had long been accustomed to the obscure way in which he spoke.

And with Cao Cao's wisdom, it is not difficult for him to guess what Jia Xu is referring to, but it takes a bit of brains.

But now, Cao Cao reacted at once - according to Jia Xu, the real purpose of the pottery merchant may be in Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Large drops of sweat instantly appeared on Cao Cao's forehead.

What a sinister little! Sure enough, he was calculated again!

Cao Cao did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to immediately send capable spies to Zhongmu County to investigate information for him.

……

In less than two days, the spies brought back the news for Cao Cao from Zhongmu County.

Li Dao and Guo Yan did nothing outside Zhongmu County, slaughtering cattle and sheep, forcing the city to go down to the village, and disrupting order.

But they were calculated by unknown figures, chaotic military camps, frightened war horses, 10,000 war horses were scattered everywhere, nearly 7,000 were lost, and only more than 2,000 were recovered by him at present.

As soon as Cao Cao heard the news, his face turned green instantly.

Li Dao and Guo Yan are two bastard things! It's just a waste of a waste!

Why don't you two bastards die!

Cao Cao also raised a lot of horses in the Central Plains, and there was no shortage of war horses in his camp.

But no lack does not mean that there is no concern, I have never heard of a rich person in the world who thinks he is too rich.

The nearly 10,000 war horses of the Xiliang army really made Cao Cao salivate, he was busy thinking about how to deal with Yuan Shao some time ago, and it was inconvenient to seize the military power from Li Guo and the others, but now that Yuan Shao is defeated, the general trend has been decided, Cao Cao is thinking about how to seize the military power and horses of Li Guo and the two people, and take these 10,000 war horses into his own hands......

In this way, after good planning, his strength can definitely turn several notches in a row.

After destroying Yuan Shao and annexing them in the future, he Cao Cao can replace Yuan Shao as the most powerful force in the world.

But the dream is very full, and the reality is very backbone.

I have an orderly plan, and I let these two bastards, Li Dao and Guo Yan, mix it up!

Cao Cao now hated to immediately summon Li Guo and the others back and slaughter them with a knife, and then sewed his head on again, continued to kill, and killed the two of them for three days and three nights.

But reason told Cao Cao that he couldn't do that.

Six or seven thousand war horses were lost, but there was still the Flying Bear Army under Li Dao's command, which was a very powerful elite.

And more importantly, since the war horses under Li Dao's command can't be obtained, then Cao Cao has to change his original strategy, and his next step is to subdue Guanzhong as soon as possible, annex the land of Xiliang, and introduce a large number of war horses from Xiliang to enrich his tiger and leopard horses, and Li Dao and Guo Yan, who are the generals of Xiliang, should play a role that cannot be ignored in this middle.

But Cao Cao really can't swallow this breath!

The surname Tao is really infuriating.

The potter's biggest short-legged is that he has not had enough horses to form a large cavalry group to compete with him.

Originally, when he fought with himself, Dong Zhuo, or Yuan Shao's cavalry, the potter dared to fight head-to-head, and he relied on the terrain, strategy, or weather to come, or the Jinling crossbow to change his disadvantages, so that he could have dealings with the princes of the north.

But that uncertainty is a matter of luck, and God doesn't favor him every time! As for the Jinling crossbow that was able to take such a big advantage in the past, it was only because he didn't know much about it, but now after understanding its power and performance, as long as he takes precautions in future battles, or uses his strengths to avoid weaknesses, Cao Cao believes that sooner or later, his tiger and leopard riding will give the potters a devastating blow.

But now, six or seven thousand war horses have been snatched back by potters!

The Eagle Serpent Warriors of the Eagle and Snake Mansion under Cao Cao had already discovered that the pottery merchant had subdued two slaves on the side of the Southern Xiongnu in his early years.

These two slaves have some skills, and in recent years they have attracted a lot of horse breeds to the potter, and opened a horse farm for him, carefully raising and training all kinds of war horses and stallions, but they have not been able to achieve success.

Now, a large number of Xiliang war horses were brought back to Yangzhou, it can be said that it is a thick accumulation, when these war horses and the stallions of the potter's horse farm are bred and reproduced, within a year or two, the gap between the potters and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and even the chaotic princes of Xiliang will be filled, and at that time, the northern princes will no longer have any advantage in front of the potters, the number of their war horses and combat power.

"Oops!" Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt dizzy, his head seemed to explode, and he was sweating profusely in pain, and he fainted all of a sudden.

Seeing this, everyone on the left and right was shocked, and hurriedly rescued Cao Cao and went to find a doctor.

The poor generation of heroes had just defeated Yuan Shao, but they were made by the Tao family's boys, which was really embarrassing.

……

After the pottery merchant returned to Peiguo, his soldiers and horses met with the soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and others.

Li Wei and Guo Yan lost more than 7,000 war horses, but not all of them were brought back by Zhao Yun and others, and the number of war horses that Zhao Yun and others actually brought back to Peiguo was more than 4,500.

As for the rest...... It's really lost, enriching the biological variety library of nature, and it's very vain.

But the number of more than 4,000 war horses is also an astronomical number for potters.

It is necessary to know that in the land of Jiangdong led by the Sun clan in history, the number of war horses in the camp of the military marquis was measured in hundreds.

When Zhou Yu and Lü Meng attacked Jiangling in history, they captured 300 war horses under Yiling City, which was already a great victory for them.

And Cao Ren, who was hostile to Zhou Yu at the time, was a little puzzled, but it was just three hundred war horses, could he still make Zhou Yu and Lu Meng tremble to such an extent? As for making you so arrogant?

Those who don't know think they captured 300 elephants.

But the so-called South Ship and North Horse, this is indeed not a simple proverb, but indeed the situation of regional materials at that time.

Looking at the large group of high-pitched Northwest War Horses brought back by Zhao Yun, the pottery merchant's eyes were faintly moist.

Seeing that the pottery merchant's eyes were a little red, Zhao Yun couldn't help but be surprised: "Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Why the tears? ”

The potter wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "It's okay, second brother, it's a little meaning...... I wept with pure joy...... According to the words of the common people, it means to be happy. ”

Zhao Yun said in surprise when he heard this: "The third brother has never had the slightest gaffe when he was in battle, but now he has just seen these thousands of war horses, is he still so stingy?" ”

The potter sighed, not knowing how to explain to Zhao Yun.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are

After all, Zhao Yun is just an ordinary general, mainly focusing on big battles and drills, which is like a potter, not only to fight wars, but also to grasp internal affairs and economy, and most importantly, to grasp team building.

Although the original Jinling army was strong, well-equipped, and rich, it just didn't have war horses!

It's like a modern army, let the individual armament of your soldiers be in full swing, but the enemy is driving tanks, and this battle is also how awkward it is.

If today's public beauty is made, "Papa" throws 4,500 heavy tank trucks down from the sky at once, and whoever they replace will be overjoyed and weeping.

This is human nature, Zhao Yun doesn't understand, and others don't understand.

Only the potter, who as soon as he opened his eyes, had to think about the millions of people and 200,000 troops in the ten southeastern counties who ate, drank, lazard and slept.

Now there is only one word that can express the feeling of the potter, and that is - joy.
