Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "I heard that the lord has also set up a strong team in order to deal with Guan Yu's school swordsman?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Yes, Guan Yu's school knife team is really well-equipped, I have followed suit, gathered the resources of the whole army, and also set up a team, called 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry', to restrain his school knife team." ”

"How to restrain yourself?" Xiahoudun asked.

Cao Cao smiled slightly and said: "Looking at several small battles, the characteristics of the school knife team are nothing more than the unity of orders, the blade and armor are light, and the movements are dexterous, but this also causes a problem, that is, when encountering a cavalry charge, it is difficult to stand firm. ”

"But the school knife is really sharp, even if the cavalry rushes into battle, it is estimated that the loss is not small." Xiahou Yuan also echoed.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "The so-called 'tiger and leopard ride', as the name suggests, is divided into 'tiger ride' and 'leopard ride'. The tiger cavalry rushed first, and the leopard cavalry killed the enemy later; Tiger rider with heavy armor, leopard rider with sharp gun, cooperate with each other, you will be able to win! ”

"With that said, you don't have to be afraid of the school knife team." Xiahoudun said.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Don't think about it, come on, come and watch the tiger and leopard ride with me." ”

So, under the leadership of Cao Cao, everyone left Juancheng and went to the school.

It's just that the school field where everyone came this time is not the usual training place, but another place, which is obviously specially set up by Cao Cao in order to train tigers and leopards to ride.

Along the way, there were sergeants' handles, which seemed quite tight, and when they got closer, everyone heard the sound of horses' hooves and cries not far away.

When he turned a corner, he suddenly opened up in front of him, and a school field appeared in front of him, which was dusty, and it was obvious that he was training.

A young general inside, seeing Cao Cao and others coming, began to give an orderly order to gather the tiger and leopard horses together, and then came to see Cao Cao.

"I've seen the lord of the fair!" The young general dismounted and said.

Cao Cao and the others also got off their horses, and Cao Ren next to him spoke first, and asked the young general, "Zihe, why are you?" ”

This young general is Cao Ren's brother, Cao Chun.

Cao Chun hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "Brother, don't blame, this is arranged by the lord, and he is specially appointed to supervise the practice of tiger and leopard riding." ”

It turned out that some time ago, Cao Cao suddenly transferred Cao Chun away from Cao Ren, and Cao Ren thought that Cao Cao ordered Cao Chun to collect grain and grass, but he didn't expect to train here.

Speaking of which, this school field is only a dozen miles away from the camp of the army, and I don't even know it at all.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Zixiao, don't blame Zihe, this is my arrangement, only by keeping it a secret, can I surprise it when I fight!" ”

Cao Ren hurriedly said: "I didn't mean it, it's just that Zihe is still young, I don't know if I can take on this big responsibility?" ”

Cao Chun's face was not angry, and he defended: "The lord arranged for me to train the army, and I know it, and I will do my best." ”

"When it comes to winning or losing, is it enough to say 'do your best'?" Cao Ren said.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Although Zixiao can rest assured, I will look at Zi and Gang Ji to supervise the emperor, without losing his reason, and he has the style of a general. ”

Seeing that Cao Ren was still a little uneasy, Cheng Yu said: "General Zixiao doesn't have to worry, since the lord has chosen Zihe and the general, we need to support it, don't chill the heart of the Zihe general." ”

"Big brother, I will definitely be able to take on this heavy responsibility!" Cao Chun said again.

Cao Ren had no choice but to nod, Cao Cao laughed, and said: "Zixiao is still not at ease, Zihe, show your tiger and leopard ride, and let your eldest brother be convinced!" ”

"Order!"

Cao Chun clenched his fists, turned over his horse, walked back to the school ground, came to the tiger and leopard rider, and shouted loudly: "Sergeants, if someone doubts our combat strength, let's show them, okay!" ”

"Fight!"

The tiger and leopard rider shouted loudly, and the momentum was like an elite division.

Cao Chun raised his long knife and shouted, "Tiger rider, charge!"

With Cao Chun's shout, the tiger cavalry began to charge, and the soldiers and horses were all covered with armor, which looked quite heavy!

The sound of horses' hooves was extremely heavy, and every time they landed, the earth trembled, and Cao Ren saw it in his eyes, without the slightest doubt that if he was trampled by this war horse, there would be no reason to survive.

"Tiger ride, points!" Cao Chun shouted again, "Leopard ride, kill!" ”

After an order, the tiger rider suddenly divided into two roads, and then the leopard rider killed from behind, stabbing out the spear in his hand, and by the momentum, the straw man used for training in front of him was stabbed into pieces.

"Zixiao, the combat power of this tiger and leopard rider is okay, right?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Cao Ren nodded and said, "This training looks good, but I underestimate it, but it is better to be cautious than training on the battlefield." ”

Cheng Yu also frowned, and said: "Lord, I see that this tiger and leopard ride is very powerful, but Zihe and General may not be Guan Yu's opponent, please be aware of it." ”

"I had already expected that Guan Yu would hand it over to General Dian Wei, and Zihe would only need to break up his school knife team!" Cao Cao nodded and said.

After several rushing drills, Cao Chun re-settled the tiger and leopard riding, returned to Cao Cao, hugged his fists and said: "After the pure drill, please comment on the master." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zixiao, let's talk about it." ”

Cao Ren's face was a little embarrassed, all along, his little brother had been following him, but he didn't expect that he could also train a good soldier.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's wisdom and talent, I'm afraid that his little brother would really be buried by him Cao Ren himself.

"Zihe's tiger and leopard team has a degree of advance and retreat, and the momentum is good, and it should be an elite division." Cao Ren said, "Zihe should cherish the opportunity and don't live up to the expectations of the lord." ”

Hearing that Cao Ren finally gave himself a positive evaluation, Cao Chun was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't worry, I will never live up to the expectations of the lord." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, Zi and your tiger and leopard riders must be ready, and today I will use troops against Liu Bei to get back Yanzhou!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all became excited, after all, during this time, they and Liu Bei often had some small conflicts, but Guan Yu's school knife team, in most cases, still suffered losses.

And the decisive battle is finally coming, and the generals feel that the time to raise their eyebrows is coming!

So, three days later, Cao Cao began to dispatch troops to Puyang, preparing for a big battle with Liu Bei.

Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride as a pioneer, and Dian Wei helped; Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were the left army; Yu Ban and Cao Ren were the right army; Cao Cao led the Chinese army, and the army was mighty and mighty, and he opened Puyang.

After Liu Bei learned the news, he wanted to order Guan Yu to go out of the city to face the battle, but Chen Gong came to stop him: "Uncle Huang, now that Cao Cao has come with a large army, our army is small, it is better to hold on, and at the same time ask for help from Chen Liu, and when Meng Zhuo's reinforcements arrive, the two armies will attack Cao's army together, and they will be able to break it!" ”
