Chapter 6 Encounter (Asking for Votes)
Liu Ping didn't know much about riding, and he used to ride a horse when he traveled to the grassland.
I have to say that Cao Ang's Dawan horse is really good, even on mountain roads, it runs fast and steadily, even a rookie rider like Liu Ping can easily control it.
What's more, Cao Ang led more than 100 cavalry to protect him on the left and right, for fear that he would fall.
After about ten miles to the south, three roads appeared in front of them, one to the southeast, one to the south, and one to the southwest.
Liu Ping didn't think about it, pulled the reins with his right hand, and went straight to the southwest road.
Cao Ang followed closely beside him, hesitantly shouting loudly: "Brother Xian, I see that my father is unhappy today, I'm afraid I don't want to see the two of us run out, or let's go back now, and another day Brother Fool will teach you to ride a horse, what do you think?" ”
"Do you know why my uncle is upset?" Liu Ping sat on his horse, staring at the front without slowing down at all.
"That's naturally because the baggage hasn't been recovered yet," Cao Ang had already asked the reason just now, he had been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knew the importance of the baggage to his father.
It's just that he just told Liu Ping so arrogantly that he would look for him if he had something in the future, and Liu Ping then proposed to try his Dawan horse, but he was embarrassed to refute it, so he could only accompany him hard.
Liu Ping looked sideways at Cao Ang's bitter gourd face, and smiled: "If we chase the baggage back, do you think my uncle is happy?" ”
"That's naturally happy, but didn't Mr. Cheng Yu say that the thieves are going southeast or due south? Let's run southwest, how can we catch up with the thieves? Cao Ang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Why wouldn't he want to do this? It's just that it's too late, and others have already chased those two routes, and he can't take the credit of others.
"Big brother, what Mr. Cheng Yu said may not be all right, you listen to me, follow the road and chase down, we will be able to catch up with the thieves, and we will get this full credit." Liu Ping pursed his lips and smiled.
Cao Ang couldn't help laughing when he heard his words: "Brother Xian is really joking, what Mr. Cheng Yu said is not entirely right, is it right that you are right?"
Mr. Cheng was one of his father's most relied on advisors. ”
At this time, Cao Cao's camp had two top strategists, one was Cheng Yu and the other was Xun Yu.
It's just that Xun Yu and Xiahoudun have been sitting in Juancheng Tuntian, and Cheng Yu is Cao Cao's former chief strategist, and he has never miscalculated.
Cao Ang heard that Liu Ping actually questioned Cheng Yu's judgment, and thought to himself that this brother was afraid that he didn't know Cheng Yu's ability, if he knew, he wouldn't be so ignorant.
Liu Ping saw that Cao Ang didn't believe in himself and was not angry, he had no evidence to come up with, so he smiled slightly and said: "Let's run forward for another thirty or fifty miles, if we can't catch up, we will be the eldest brother to accompany me to practice horseback riding." ”
"Okay," Cao Ang was helpless, didn't he just accompany you on horseback this time?
Liu Ping galloped on his horse, estimating the time in his heart.
The baggage cart is so heavy, on this rugged mountain road, it shouldn't be able to go far, so it should be able to catch up.
Unless Secretary Shi is wrong, then the Xuzhou soldiers did not flee in the direction of Runan at all, which is also possible.
Historians are not immortals, and the official historical records may not be completely accurate.
As they spoke, they walked forward for another half hour, and it was almost noon, and there were only a few more than thirty miles to go.
Cao Ang was about to open his mouth to persuade Liu Ping to go back, when suddenly a cavalry scout beside him pointed ahead and said, "Eldest prince, look, there is smoke ahead." ”
Cao Ang stopped his horse and looked forward, only to see that there were indeed a few green smoke curling up in front of him.
He is also a battle-hardened person, and at first glance, this is someone burying the pot and cooking.
"You go ahead and take a look." Cao Ang was puzzled in his heart, did he really let this brother guess correctly?
Otherwise, how could there be soldiers in this barren mountain and wilderness burying pots to make food.
The scout dismounted and crept forward.
After a short time, he trotted all the way back, and said excitedly: "Back to the eldest prince, there are about two hundred soldiers stationed in front of me to cook, and there are twenty horse-drawn carts next to them, and the carts are full of boxes. ”
When Cao Ang heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Ping beside him in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face: "Brother Xian, I didn't expect you to really give it to you, snatch back this batch of baggage, and we will make a great contribution." ”
Although he is Cao Cao's eldest son, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want military merits, no military merits, in the eyes of other generals, he will always be a second ancestor, how to serve the public?
If you can recover the baggage today, this credit will be great, not to mention that my father will inevitably pay more attention to himself, even if the battalion is full of soldiers, he will be grateful to himself.
After all, this is the military salary recovered for the soldiers, don't you weigh it when you pay it?
At this time, he was ecstatic, and the hand holding the spear was trembling slightly with excitement.
"Brother Xian, our brothers will not say thank you, from today on, you will be my Cao Ang's own brother." Cao Ang faced Liu Ping, hammered his left chest with his right fist, and his attitude was very sincere.
He knew that this credit was given to him by Liu Ping, and if Liu Ping hadn't insisted on chasing him here, he would have gone back long ago.
Liu Ping believes in the first sight, from the moment he saw Cao Ang, he knew that this person was a person with a temperament, otherwise he would not have left everything to pick up his father.
Although this person may be a little less scheming, he is definitely a friend who can be deeply acquainted, so he doesn't mind giving him a share of this great work.
"Our brothers don't have to be so polite, but the other party has 200 people, and we only have about 100 people, can we fight? Brother, I don't know how to fight. ”
"Brother Xian, you are underestimating the foolish brother," Cao Ang said with a proud smile: "Our more than 100 people are cavalry, and killing those 200 foot soldiers is just cutting melons and vegetables."
After a while, you will be watching from the side, watching how the foolish brother will drive out these thieves and avenge the revenge of last night for the eldest father and you. ”
"Big brother, catch what you can live, catch it alive, in order to achieve full success." Liu Ping admonished.
Cao Ang nodded: "Brother Xian reminds you to try to catch it alive." ”
He turned back to a low-ranking military attache and ordered: "You don't have to go into battle for a while, bring twenty people to protect my brother, if my brother is missing a cold hair, take you and ask." ”
"No!"
The low-level military attache responded, glanced at Liu Ping, his teeth were a little sour, he had never seen the eldest prince attach so much importance to a person.
Cao Ang ordered all the sergeants to dismount.
Liu Ping handed the reins of the Dawan horse to Cao Ang, he was about to go into battle to kill the enemy, and having a good horse was a great help.
A group of people touched it silently.
At a bend, Cao Ang raised his right fist, and everyone stopped.
Cao Ang looked forward, more than 300 steps ahead, and sure enough, there were many soldiers eating, and their spears were standing far away.
There were more than 20 horse-drawn carriages in the middle of the mountain road, and the ropes on the carriages that bound the boxes were not untied.
He turned back and nodded to all the sergeants, then turned on his horse, raised his spear, and shouted.
"Kill!"
Nearly 100 soldiers responded loudly at the same time.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The group of soldiers shouted, like a gust of wind, and rushed straight towards the Xuzhou soldiers.
Liu Ping did not charge, but was protected by twenty cavalrymen and watched the battle from behind.
I'm afraid his strength is not even as good as an ordinary cavalry, and rushing forward is also adding to the chaos.
I saw Cao Ang taking the lead and charging at the front of the team, which was a great encouragement to the sergeants under him.
Even he, the great prince of the king, is not afraid, what else do they have to fear?
The distance of three hundred paces was a blink of an eye for the cavalry, and the Xuzhou soldiers who were eating obviously did not expect that the enemy would suddenly kill them.
They hurriedly threw down their rice bowls to get their weapons, but before they could get their hands, Cao Ang had already rushed to the front with his army.
I have to say that in the era of cold weapons, the cavalry was simply crushing the infantry, and the cavalry of the Cao army quickly rushed the two hundred Xuzhou soldiers, and there were thirty or fifty people who were trampled to death by horses alone.
Cao Ang galloped his horse, as if entering a no-man's land, and his spear was like a dragon swimming out of the water, and he pierced the place where there was no armor above the neck of the foot soldier.
But after a cup of tea, the battle was over.
Because the Xuzhou soldiers knew that they were invincible, they couldn't run and couldn't outrun the horses, so they knelt on the ground and raised their hands to surrender.
Liu Ping watched from a distance, and saw that Cao Ang's body was already like a blood gourd, grinning at Liu Ping, revealing snow-white teeth, which was very infiltrating.
However, Cao Ang's record was very good, with more than 90 people killing 100 enemies and capturing 100 people, including the leader Zhang Min.
The most important thing is that the baggage has finally been regained.
