The departing guards were soon brought with spurs and stirrups.

Cao Shuo looked at the stirrup first, and asked Sima Yi, "Is there a distribution?" ”

"There are only three hundred horses in the army, and all of them have been allocated." Sima Yi said: "There are not enough horses, and only half of the soldiers in the immortal battalion can be converted into cavalry. ”

"I didn't intend to make the undead battalion cavalry." Cao Shuo said: "What I want is an elite army that is cavalry on horseback and infantry on horseback, and can sneak behind enemy lines and fight with the army." ”

"I've never heard of an army like this." Sima Yi said: "Just training soldiers takes a lot of effort. ”

"I didn't expect us to be so poor!" Cao Shuo pinched his chin and said, "I also asked General Yu Ban to help me inquire if there are any Di people selling horses, but now it seems that I can only think of another idea." ”

"What are you going to do?" Sima Yi asked.

"Do you know where the horses are better?" Cao Shuo asked, "It's suitable for charging into battle and running for thousands of miles." ”

"Charging into battle and running for thousands of miles, you definitely don't need to choose Baiyue's horse." Sima Yi said: "The southern barbarians, the horses are very short, suitable for carrying goods and fighting in the mountains. The horses that Childe wants can only be bought from the north. Among the heroes from all walks of life, the horses in the hands of Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, Liaodong Gongsun Du, and Xiliang Ma Teng are the best. Gongsun Zhan and Bai Ma Yi were wiped out from the whole army, and now they are besieged by Yijing, and they will definitely not be able to get horses from him. Gongzi wants horses, not from Di people, but can only be purchased from Ma Teng and Gongsun Du. ”

"How are Ma Teng and Gongsun Du?" Cao Shuo asked.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I only hear his name, but I don't see his person, and I don't know." ”

"How do you think you can get some horses from them without spending money?" Cao Shuo said with a puzzled expression.

"Childe wants to ......" Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not easy to do......"

Looking at Sima Yi, Cao Shuo asked, "Xiliangyuan or Liaodongyuan?" ”

"Xiliang, of course." Sima Yi said: "From Xudu to Xiliang, it is thousands of miles, if you go to Liaodong, pass through Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and then go north to reach." I heard that Gongsun Du is a shrewd person, and Gongzi wants to get horses from him without pulling out a dime, I don't think it's easy! ”

"I'll go there in a few days." Cao Shuo said: "If you don't go, you won't be able to get horses, but if you go, you may still have a chance." ”

"How is Childe going to get the horses from Gongsun Du?" Sima Yi asked.

"I don't know." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "Only when I get to the place do I know what Gongsun Du wants." Only by doing what he pleases can he get benefits from him. ”

"What Childe said is, I'm afraid it's not that easy." Sima Yi said: "And Cao Gong may not be willing to let Gongzi go. ”

"Why didn't my father let me go?" Cao Shuo asked.

"The Cao family and the Gongsun Du of Liaodong are far apart." Sima Yi said: "Gongsun Du is also a self-appointed ...... of Liaodong Taishou."

"Wait!" Cao Shuo's eyes lit up and interrupted Sima Yi: "What did you say?" Liaodong Taishou? ”

"Yes!" Sima Yi said: "His Majesty did not canonize Gongsun Du today, he occupied Liaodong and proclaimed himself Taishou. ”

"If you like to be an official, it's easy to do!" Cao Shuo said: "I definitely didn't have any money if he asked for it, I wouldn't give it to anyone he wanted, and I didn't even think about asking for land." The least valuable and easiest to get is an official position. ”

"Gongzi plans to persuade Cao Gong to canonize Gongsun Du Liaodong Taishou?" Sima Yi asked.

"Yes!" Cao Shuo said: "But I have to go to Liaodong first to find out his tone." If he really wants it, I will ask His Majesty to canonize him. If he doesn't want it and canonizes him, we don't have any benefit at all, it's really idle to have nothing to do, and stick a hot face to someone's cold ass. ”

"The key is how to convince Cao Gong." Sima Yi said: "Lu Bu broke Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu must be unwilling, and he will cause some trouble sooner or later." and Jingzhou Liu Biao......"

"Liu Biao doesn't need to pay attention to it for the time being." Cao Shuo said: "Although Jingzhou is Liu Biao's assassination history, most of the power is divided into the hands of the Cai family and the Kuai family. Last time I went to Jingzhou, I met Mrs. Cai. She spoke in front of Liu Surface, somewhat weighty. If Liu Biao still plans to oppose the Cao family, Mrs. Cai will definitely dissuade him. ”

"Gongzi went to Jingzhou, not only subdued the assassins, but also solved Liu Biao's trouble." Sima Yi said: "I really admire Gongzi to the ground. ”

"What is this, as long as this son goes, there are still things that can't be done?" Cao Shuo got up and said to Sima Yi: "I went to ask my father and asked him for permission to go to Liaodong." The training of the soldiers will be handed over to you and the chief. ”

"The soldiers have enough training and literacy." Sima Yi said: "Son, it's better to take me to Liaodong, and I can have a discussion when I encounter something." ”

"You have to stay in Xudu." Cao Shuo said: "In case of an emergency, I can rest assured that you are here." ”

"Who is Childe going to take with you?" Sima Yi asked.

"Take Wang Yan." Cao Shuo said: "With her by my side, you shouldn't be worried." ”

"I've heard that Miss Wang's swordsmanship is superb." Sima Yi said: "Having her by the side of the son is indeed a lot more reassuring. It's just that if you encounter something difficult to decide, who does Childe plan to discuss with? ”

"It's not about arranging troops and marching to fight, what is there to discuss." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "As long as I don't make a fatal mistake, there will be no risk in going to Liaodong this time." ”

"Zhongda just rest assured." patting Sima Yi on the shoulder, Cao Shuo said: "Help me train the soldiers well, it won't be long before there will definitely be a war." I hope that by the time I come back, the Immortal Battalion will already be an elite division that can fight on horseback and dismount. ”

"The tactics taught by Gongzi are practiced by the soldiers every day." Sima Yi said: "Since Wen Chang came, they have to line up every day, and they are already familiar with the basic tactics. Now it's the kung fu on horseback. ”

"Three hundred horses were transferred to the immortal camp." Cao Shuo said: "During the exercise, two people and one horse, take turns to get on the horse and practice. ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Sima Yi said: "If Duke Cao is allowed to go to Liaodong, Gongzi had better go to Wuhuan again." ”

"Wuhuan?" Cao Shuo said: "I don't have any money, what are you doing there?" Gongsun Du's horses may not be able to get some back, and the Wuhuan people should not give up their horses for the sake of official titles. ”

"Childe doesn't know." Sima Yi said: "Speaking of which, Gongzi and Wuhuan Wang Bandun are still relatives. ”

"Badun is the king of Wuhuan, what can I have to do with him?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Zhongda, don't talk nonsense. ”

"It's really close." Sima Yi said: "Badun is also married to Yuan Shao's daughter, isn't the son and him a brother-in-law?" It's just that he is marrying a concubine, and the son is going to marry a concubine. ”
