Outside the Hexi Corridor, the land of wind and sand.

Liu Xie actually didn't know how many days he had walked along the way, anyway, he stayed in the dragon chariot with Liu Jin every day, and no matter how windy, frosty, rain and snow outside, it couldn't affect him.

However, Cao Cao and other military generals, riding horses, wearing dozens of pounds of armor, stayed overnight, bathing in snow and frost.

"Your Majesty, would you like to have some tea?"

Liu Jin looked at him and looked out the window in a daze, and waited carefully: "The slave maid has just cooked, it's hot, you can drink something to warm your stomach, after leaving the Hexi Corridor, the weather is not normal, don't get sick." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Liu Xie waved his hand, in fact, he felt very uncomfortable at the moment, although his eating and drinking consumption could not be compared with the palace, it could even be said that his situation was getting worse.

But if you compare the food of Cao Cao and others, the things he eats are already dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

It turned out that Cao Cao and others were fighting outside, eating these things, and drinking river water and snow water.

Just a few days ago, when they had just crossed the ditch of the Hetao, the sky suddenly changed, and a heavy snow fell without warning, and it was at that time that Liu Xie saw Cao Cao sitting on horseback with his mouth open, sucking the flying snow in the sky into his mouth to quench his thirst.

Is this the state of war?

When Liu Xie was a historian, he studied this subject deeply, but he did not expect that the records he saw in books were far from the reality.

In fact, this is understandable, after all, even if history is recorded in detail at the time, when the dynasty changes, it will be considered to be deliberately tampered with.

"Phew!"

Just as he was flying out of the sky, suddenly the team in front of him stopped, and Liu Jin hurriedly poked his head out to check: "What's the matter?" What's going on up front? ”

"The Great Officer."

Meng San, who was accompanying him, turned his horse's head and leaned forward: "The scouts in front found that there was something abnormal, let's stop and wait for a while, Lord Sikong has already led the generals to go up to inspect, and Your Majesty will stay here for the time being." ”

"Okay."

Liu Jin retracted his head, originally thinking that Liu Xie would rest here for a while, but he didn't want Liu Xie to slowly get out of the huge carriage at this time.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

"Let's go ahead and have a look."

Liu Xie said and stepped out of the carriage.

Meng San and the others hurriedly came up, but they didn't dare to let him go to the front to take risks, before this trip, Cao Cao had already explained to them that no matter what, unless he needed it, Liu Xie would never be allowed to go to the front.

He also said that if the emperor had an accident, none of them would survive.

For his words, of course, Meng San and other guards obeyed the proverbs, and no one dared to question them.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, please stay!"

Meng San surrounded Liu Xie with his generals and guards, and then saw that he himself was deaf to this, and said to himself: "Since this time it is my imperial expedition, how can I always hide behind Lord Sikong?" Now I will give you two choices, the first is to follow me and go to the front, and the second is to ...... Self-determination on the spot. ”

"If you have the kung fu to stop me, you might as well go to the front and see if you can help!"

Liu Xie said, giving them a blank look, and at this time, Liu Jin also got out of the carriage, looking at the embarrassing scene a little bit: "Your Majesty, you ......"

"Prepare the horses."

“……”

"Prepare the horses!"

"Yes!"

Meng San finally chose to compromise, originally his personality was more restrained, he didn't want him to be arrogant like two brothers, why not add that Cao Cao is leading the team at the moment, he is different from Cao Pi and a few children, and his respect and attention to the Son of Heaven are extraordinary, so under the trade-off, he can only do what the emperor wants.

Son of Heaven, ride a white horse.

After leading the imperial horse, Meng San still tried to persuade him as if he was the last time: "Your Majesty, otherwise you still ...... it."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Liu Xie simply slammed him back, and then turned over on the horse, although he was swaying, he still pulled the reins of the horse and walked forward.

"Get on your horse and follow quickly!"

Seeing this, Meng San sighed and gave an order, and led the team to follow quickly......

At the front of the line.

Cao Cao sat on the back of the famous horse's claw Huang Feining, brushed his beard in one hand, tightly grasped the hilt of his sword, and stared intently at the unknown team that was slowly coming not far ahead.

"Drive!"

Suddenly, a horse galloped from the side, and when he came close to him, he flew up: "Lord Sikong! ”

"Huh?"

Cao Cao looked down and saw that it was Cao Hong, who was sent by him to inquire about the news.

"Zilian, who are the people in front?"

"Qi Qi Da Sikong, there is a group of bandits in front of you!"

"Bandits?"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and there was a bit of indifference between his words: "In this case, let Cao Chun lead the troops to destroy them, and the bandits cannot be left." ”

"No!"

Cao Chun, although there is no pen and ink in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but this person is actually a thousand-mile horse of the Cao family, when he was alive, the strongest tiger and leopard rider under Cao Cao has always been controlled by him.

Cao Hong went here to give an order, and Liu Xie had already brought someone here: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Chao Hesheng asked Cao Cao to turn his head, and the moment he saw him, his face was suddenly as cold as ice, and he stared at Meng San viciously: "How did I tell you?" Don't let Your Majesty come into battle, have you forgotten? ”

"Lord Sikong, my subordinates are guilty!"

As soon as he said this, Meng San hurriedly jumped off the horse and prostrated on the ground, he knew very well that in front of Cao Cao, it was useless to shirk responsibility and beg for mercy.

If you have the courage to take responsibility, there may be a glimmer of life, on the contrary, other actions will only hasten the arrival of death.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the indifference on Cao Cao's face eased a little, and then turned his gaze to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, you can't come to the front line, it's better to go back and have a good rest." ”

"Sikong, I just want to see what you're like when you're out on weekdays." Liu Xie said, rode a horse to his side, and Cao Cao also asked Meng San to get up at this moment.

Liu Xiedao: "Over the past period of time, I have actually felt a lot, don't look at the fact that there is no war yet, but ......"

Halfway through his words, a sudden sound of drums interrupted him, Liu Xie frowned, and looked at the chaotic sound, in front of their team, a group of cavalry roared out, and vaguely could see a general in a desert-colored robe, holding a divination iron halberd at the front of the team.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The cavalry swarmed forward like a tidal wave, and the unidentified people opposite them were instantly swallowed up.

After less than five minutes, the cavalry retreated, and the group was gone.

The general in the desert-colored battle robe urged the horse to come, and Liu Xie noticed that his mount was still wearing a tiger skin, and under the tiger skin, there were a series of armor pieces connected together.

, isn't this the legendary Cao Cao's guards and tiger and leopard cavalry?

Liu Xie clearly remembered that it was recorded in the book that the tiger and leopard cavalry did not belong to the imperial court army in the early days, and their main task was to protect Cao Cao and assist the regular army in battle.

But this group of cavalry is one in a hundred, gathering the best of the world, the biggest feature is that they wear heavy armor, in addition to the general horse armor, the crotch mount also has to add a whole tiger skin and leopard skin as decoration, or to intimidate the enemy cavalry mount auxiliary equipment.

The tiger and leopard cavalry is divided into two categories, ** and leopard cavalry, all the commanders of the tiger and leopard cavalry, every term, every big and small official must be a child of the Cao clan, and no one in the history of the Xiahou clan has ever served as the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

It can be seen how much this team Cao Cao attaches to it.

And now, according to the calculation of time, there is also a list of military generals from the conscription, Liu Xie recognized the heroic general in front of him, who should be Cao Chun, who is not well-known and even has a bit of soy sauce meaning.
