The thunder went away from the clouds, the brilliant spring light rose into the sky and overlooked the muddy earth, the sound of clattering horses' hooves turned up the mud, and a stream of thousands of cavalry turned into a torrent and rushed in the field outside the camp of the Cao army in Yinping, near the huge military camp, there were also soldiers and horses pouring out, Cao Chun rode a war horse and looked at the cavalry running from afar and remembered the past, he had led them, and thousands of Cao soldiers around him would look at the galloping horse team with a solemn face.

"Zihe, you are also the leader of this Black Mountain Cavalry, how do these cavalry compare with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?" Beside him was Cao Hong, who was a brother in the clan, and he probably didn't have much scruples when he spoke.

Cao Chun glanced at him, showing a slightly gentle look, his eyes looked at the two figures sitting side by side on the huge high platform in front of him, and his voice was very soft: "In the past, they could only be regarded as half elites, but they dared to work hard, but now they don't know, the tiger and leopard riders are only well-equipped, and now they have only fought in Xuzhou, and there is still a gap compared to them, not to mention that the leader of Gongsun still has a bow in his hand......"

looked at the figure talking to the clan brother on the high platform, and paused: "That is the real cavalry, Zilian, there is still a long way to go for the tiger and leopard to ride." ”

Although Cao Hong led an army alone, in the end, he only seemed to understand the way of cavalry, and followed the eyes of his brothers and looked at the high platform...... The sun shines down, the soft wind blows the flag on the stage and the cloak of the two figures hunting, Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao swept away the embarrassment of last night's mutual beating, sat on the stage in full costume to face countless generals, not angry and self-prestigious, on both sides, the main generals of the army sat in turn, their hands clenched into fists and pressed on their knees, setting off a solemn atmosphere.

Watch the cavalry roar past the sight.

"Jizhou strong crossbow, Youzhou sudden cavalry, after the white horse general goes, there will be no white horse to follow, and you will be left with the wolf in the north, and your father-in-law's sentence seems to be changing."

Cao Cao looked at the black mountain cavalry on the field with interest and spoke, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and other relatives and generals sat nearby, with serious expressions, they are all generals in the army, and they naturally have a judgment on an army, after a while, Cao Cao turned his head and looked to the side: "Gongsun, seeing your military prestige today, Cao also wants to let the cavalry under his command practice, how about the two come to fight?" ”

"It's still early, since Cao Yanzhou wants to try the catty two of the tiger and leopard ride, let's try it." Gongsun Zhi closed his eyes and nodded, and raised his hand as he said: "Blow the wolf's throat." ”

Woo..... Whew......

Cao Cao looked at Li Ke, who was standing on the side of the stage and blew the wolf howl, his eyes lit up, and he nodded appreciatively: "This is not bad, you can adapt to the chaos on the battlefield, and it is more effective than the command flag." ”

As he spoke, the military order was passed down, and Cao Chun turned over and got on his horse: "Change weapons, get on the horse-"

Behind him, the horsemen took the wooden stick and wooden knife from the hands of others, jumped out of a thousand horses and followed the general into the open area of the wilderness, walked the horse and ran for two laps before starting to form a formation. ”

"Naturally remember!"

Pull the reins: "Then let Commander Cao see what the Black Mountain Rider looks like after you leave." After saying this, the horses returned to the battle, and behind them was also a thousand cavalry stepping on hooves and slowly walking out, these original bandits from dozens of battles down the battlefield, have already transformed, there is no fierce look on their faces, just simply waved a wooden stick and knocked on the small shield on the arm, the sound was neat and made a booming knocking sound, and the momentum suddenly rose.

Around, the generals and soldiers of the Cao army closed their words, looked at the cavalry with bated breath, and then a roar sounded in their ears, the earth rumbled, and the slow Black Mountain Cavalry suddenly turned into a torrent and swept straight to the tiger and leopard cavalry in front.

Cao Chun narrowed his eyes and measured the distance, then shouted behind him with a stick: "Tiger rider forward, prepare-"

Among the thousands, five hundred armored cavalry rushed to the first array in front of them with long sticks, and the other five hundred cavalry were called leopard cavalry, which belonged to the light riding column, and the speed was very fast.

On the opposite side, the lead in the charge was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth laughed, and he gestured, so that the herald blew the wolf's throat and made arrangements, on the limit distance between the two sides, Cao Chun's two light horses of two hundred people, turned to the abrupt interspersed at the same time, the front team of only 100 people on the Black Mountain Cavalry exceeded the distance, and crashed head-on into the tiger cavalry of 500 people, the remaining 900 horsemen turned to divert and crashed head-on into the very few leopard riders on either side......

The winner is decided.

Cao Cao opened his mouth slightly stunned, and then stroked his palms and laughed: "The way of the cavalry, in the future, I am afraid that only Lu Bu can compete with the cavalry under your command." ”

"Among the things I want to talk about today is Lu Bu." Gongsun Zhi waved his hand to Li Ke and asked him to inform Montenegro to ride to rest. Next to him, Cao Cao waved his eyes seriously, glanced at the other party, and got up: "Gongsun, let's walk around with me." ”

Gongsun Zhi is dressed in a fox fur, tall and well-proportioned, with heroic steps, Cao Cao is also tall, and his hands are already quite imposing, the two of them are walking side by side on the road in the wilderness, and there are their own guards behind them from a distance of hundreds of paces, and everyone knows that the two have important things to discuss, so they naturally will not go up to disturb.

Under the spring sun, the country roads are quiet, the grass is green, and occasionally there are birds flying over the heads of the two of them, and it was quiet for a while, but Cao Cao spoke first but mentioned his son: "Is it okay in the north?" Has the soft and weak character changed? He died early when he was a child, and he was brought up by my wife, and he never suffered hardships, and did he see blood on the grassland? ”

"I fought Xianbei earlier." Gongsun Zhi shook his head, and after a while, he continued: "But Gongzi Ang has never fought, so he didn't let him go up, marching and fighting is not child's play, it will kill people, let him be more familiar with the army, he can ride a horse, he can draw a bow, and then pick up some simple battles, killing a few people can be regarded as growth, it is too early now." ”

The figure next to him stopped, then bowed.

Gongsun Zhi also stopped and turned his head slightly, frowning: "Cao Yanzhou, why is this?" ”

"Without him, just a thank you as a father." Cao Cao straightened up, put his hands behind his back and continued to move forward, not caring about the gesture of thanking this young man just now, looking at the bright green field in front of him: "You mentioned Lu Bu on the high platform before, he came to Yanzhou?" ”

"It should be here, last year he left Yuan Shao and went to Shangdang Zhang Yang, last month when I attacked Shangdang County, I only learned that he took the old department of Bingzhou to the south, if you take refuge in you, there must be a letter to come, obviously you don't know...... Then there is only one possibility. "Gongsun Zhi roughly knows the beginning and the end, but it is impossible to tell the whole story at the moment, but it will cause suspicion, which does not help much in the matter.

"Lu Bu is a brave man, if he doesn't answer, he can't even enter Yanzhou." Cao Cao let out a heavy breath and looked in the direction of Xuzhou: "But if you stop the army and go back, the current army is in full swing, it will be a pity......

The clouds drifted over, obscuring the sun.

"You can't eat Xuzhou!" Gongsun Zhi's expression was cold, and his footsteps stopped: "Once Yanzhou is infighting, it is taken away by Lu Bu, and the army's heart is chaotic, how can Tao Qian sit still and wait to die?" You have killed so much in Xuzhou, how can the people tolerate you, and when the time comes, neither side will tolerate it, where are you going? ”

He pursed his lips and took a breath: "At the beginning, we became allies and attacked Yuan Shao from the north and south, but now he has won the four states of You, Hebei, and Qing, and is stepping up training of soldiers and horses to recuperate, and we only have this little time, in a few years, hundreds of thousands of troops have flocked south, what can we do?" ”

"You want to take down Xuzhou, this kind of thing is very good, but you were stabbed in the back and lost your foundation, and you won't even have the qualifications to talk to me at that time-" The tone suddenly rose, containing anger.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and was silent, hundreds of eyes around him looked at this side, for a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the sky, and his voice was slow: "You are right, if you lose Yanzhou, I Cao Cao is not a fart in front of the princes of the world,

"Xuzhou is a small matter, if you lose your hometown in Yanzhou and die here, it will be a shame." Cao Cao turned around and strode violently, waving his hand: "But going back like this, won't it make Tao Qian suspicious?" Feint once—"

Cao Cao stood in the middle of the crowd and stretched out his palm sideways: "Gongsun, come!" Walk with me and scare the old man to death! ”

"Hahaha - this is my impression of Cao Cao!" Gongsun stopped and stretched out his hand.

Smack-

Slap the palms together and clench.

*******************************

Tan County.

The sky was slanting, and the afterglow was sprinkled on the city, and the remnants of red reflected a desolation. The old man who had reached the age of sixty walked tremblingly on it, out of his field of vision, smoke everywhere, and after a month of war, all the places where Cao Jun passed were slaughtered, it can be said that there were no chickens and dogs, the dead and wounded were innumerable, and the smell of corpses remained in the air drifting from afar.

The sky darkened, the wind slowly blew through the long white beard, closed his eyes: "My fault ......"

Behind him, there was a torch light coming over, don't drive Mi Lan to the old man's back: "Don't worry, my lord, reinforcements are already on the way." ”

“.......”

Tao Qian turned around wordlessly, looked at him, nodded heavily, and walked down the city wall.
