No matter what era a war is set in, no matter how high-sounding the excuses are, war will never be just, because it usually brings catastrophic, but in the same way, the outbreak of war often represents the collision of two classes or the division within a certain class. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For the current era, the most famous is undoubtedly the Yellow Turban Uprising, although the huge peasant uprising was quickly extinguished, but the harm caused was far-reaching, directly shaking the majesty of the imperial power and shaking the country's capital.

However, there is no absolute thing in the world, while the war brings disasters, it also brings many changes in consciousness, for example, over the years, the princes have begun to generally realize the importance of craftsmen, although they have not raised craftsmen to the status of being able to have a formal establishment like Lu Bu, but no matter which princes, they are consciously absorbing craftsmen, and the improvement of the status of craftsmen has indirectly brought about many technological innovations, although there are many things that have sprouted before, but if there is no urging of this troubled era, it is just a sprout.

If a discerning person carefully observes and thinks about it, it is not difficult to find that with the rise and growth of Lu Bu in the Kanto region, some of the originally inherent and unbreakable hierarchical concepts are loosening little by little, but it is not the time to really realize these things, at least at present.

Liu Ye's position in Cao Ying has always been very embarrassing, in terms of talent, he is not under the vast majority of strategists under Cao Cao, with Cao Cao's person, he should be reused, but his identity is very sensitive, like Liu Bei, he is a member of the Han family, the difference is that he does not have such great ambitions, which also created his embarrassing position in Cao Ying.

Cao Cao attaches great importance to him, but it is obviously impossible to be relied on by Cao Cao like Guo Jia and Xun Yu, even if the thunderbolt he offered a year ago left a brilliant mark in the Battle of Guandu, but Cao Cao only let Liu Ye be responsible for managing the craftsmen, although he is also nominally a military priest sacrificial wine, which is similar to Guo Jia's official position, but in fact, there is no essential difference from Lu Bu's official position to Master Pu and Ma Jun.

"General Yue, what is the matter with Cao Gong looking for me?" Outside Cao Ying, Liu Ye was inexplicably taken outside the horse farm in the camp by Yue Xi, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

Cao Cao is jealous of him, even if he has no ambition, but he still has the arrogance of being a member of the Han family, and he will not call people the lord with a hot face.

"How do I know? After the lord retrieved a horse corpse from the battlefield, he asked me to come to my husband. Yue Xi scratched his head, he didn't understand.

Forget it, it doesn't sound like a bad thing anyway.

Liu Ye shook his head and followed Yue Xi into the horse farm, where he saw Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun You, and a group of generals pointing around a horse corpse.

"Ye, see Cao Gong." Liu Ye stepped forward and saluted Cao Cao in a proper manner.

"Ziyang is here." Cao Cao stepped forward with a smile, took Liu Ye's hand and said: "Come and see, this is the horse corpse that was dragged back from the battlefield not long ago, it seems to be a little different, Ziyang, you are an expert, see what is strange?" ”

"Oh?" When Liu Ye heard this, his eyes lit up, he took two steps forward and looked at it carefully.

There is not much change, but the subtleties are indeed a little different, such as the previous unilateral stirrups have been replaced with bilateral ones, the cushion on horseback has changed shape, and finally Liu Ye also found that someone nailed a piece of metal to the horse's shoe.

"Why don't you put these things on top of another war horse and give them a try?" After a while, Liu Ye had some thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't be sure, and turned his head to look at Cao Caodao.

"Look at me, I'm confused." Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly recruited someone to move a war horse, but the horseshoe was not easy to use, so he could only press the stirrup and saddle first.

"Yuexi, you can try." Cao Cao beckoned to Yue Xi.

"Good!" Yue Xi heard this, took two steps forward, turned over and got on the horse, he was the general of the battle formation, and he felt the difference as soon as he got on the horse.

Turning his head to look at Cao Cao, he was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't think of what words to express, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words and say: "Lord, it's really good." ”

Cao Cao's face darkened, what is this, waved his hand and said, "You come down, I'll try." ”

"Oh!" Yue Xi turned over and dismounted, gave the reins to Cao Cao, Cao Cao himself is also a military general, although the martial arts are not powerful, but riding a horse is not difficult for him, a turn over and sit on the horse, the right script can want to clamp the horse's belly, but stepped on the stirrup on the other side, the sense of balance suddenly stabilized a lot, and the horse bridge is also better fixed figure, do not have to worry about the impact and fall off the horse.

"Wonderful!" Cao Cao is a military master in the world, so he can naturally feel the extraordinary, and looks at everyone with a smile: "With these two treasures, the cavalry ability will be increased by at least thirty percent, no wonder Lu Bu can crisscross the grassland and kill the alien race!" ”

Yue Xi nodded approvingly: "If there had been this, the five of us joined forces that day, maybe we would have cut off Lu Bu's head." ”

When everyone heard this, they only smiled slightly, naturally they didn't take this seriously, if Lu Bu was really so easy to die, they wouldn't have to have a headache here.

"Ziyang can see what the thing on the horse's hooves is for?" Cao Cao got off the horse, looked at the horse's hooves and frowned.

"It should be done to protect the horse's hooves, Cao Gongdang knows that the horse's hooves are easy to crack after running for a long time, and with this thing, the time for the war horse to be used can be extended." Liu Ye said with a smile.

"I see." Cao Cao exclaimed: "It's just a small change, but it's so useful, maybe the craftsmen in our army can imitate it?" ”

"Naturally." Liu Ye nodded and said, after all, these things are not the kind with too high technical content, but then shook his head and said: "But these things are not of much use to our army?" ”

Yue was puzzled and said, "Why is this?" He Lu Bu can use it, why can't we use it? ”

"War horses." Liu Ye said indifferently.

In fact, since Lu Bu occupied Yongliang, he began to restrict the inflow of war horses to the Central Plains, and later Lu Bu occupied Hetao and merged with Zhou, almost cutting off seventy percent of the supply of horses in the Central Plains.

Although Cao Cao also had cavalry, if he wanted to fight hard with Lu Bu on the cavalry, even if there was no gap in equipment, it would be difficult to win.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Although Ziyang does it, he still has to use it." ”

Although in a large-scale battle, there is no way to compete with Lu Bu's cavalry corps, but after all, the improvement of combat effectiveness is real, and it cannot be said that it is completely useless.

"Command." Liu Ye nodded, seeing that Cao Cao had no other instructions, he said goodbye and left, he knew very well that the next thing basically had nothing to do with him, and staying would make the atmosphere awkward.

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Ye's direction, shook his head, and took Guo Jia and Xun You to regret the handsome account.

"Lord, this is the letter that Yuan Shang just sent." Xun You handed over a letter to Cao Cao and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shang feels that if he wants to break Lu Bu, he must first cut off the connection between the camp and Yecheng, he wants to take people to fight Yecheng, and our army is responsible for containing Lu Bu. ”

"Why? Why didn't he come to contain Lu Bu, but he wanted our army to have a hard time with Lu Bu? Even Yue Xi heard that Yuan Shang was cheating on them.

Although the defense of the battalion is weak, but Lu Bu does not fight a defensive battle with you at all, as long as you dare to move, it is a large cavalry running out to hedge with you, whether the defense is weak or not, it doesn't matter at all, but on the Yecheng side, although there is a strong city, but it is easier to fight, everyone can see that attacking Yecheng is much easier than attacking Lu Bu.

"Now that our army is allied with Yuan Shang, we should work together." Cao Cao shook his head and said slowly: "Someone must fight in Yecheng." ”

"Then we shouldn't let him take advantage of it alone, but we are here to help him, why throw us the hard bones?" Xiahoudun also said indignantly.

Cao Cao's face turned black when he heard this, what are the hard bones to gnaw, when they are dogs?

Cao Cao had a dispute over a letter from Yuan Shang, but Yuan Shang was also a little nervous at the moment, looking at the sky outside, frowning and glancing in the direction of Yuanmen, turning his head to look at the judge: "Cao Cao, will he agree?" ”

"Yes!" The judge nodded affirmatively, as for the reason, the judge didn't dare to say, because Cao Cao's pattern is bigger than Yuan Shang's, and he doesn't account for the immediate gains and losses, and even if Yuan Shang is asked to contain Lu Bu, Cao Cao probably won't be at ease, because people really don't necessarily like you!

Although thinking of these, but the trial can't be said, can only accompany Yuan Shang to stand outside the camp and wait, Feng Ji, trial and others have already gone to allocate grain and grass, and the first batch of soldiers and horses have begun to set off to Yecheng.

Soon, Cao Cao's messenger sent Cao Cao's letter, Yuan Shang hurriedly took the letter and read it, and only laughed out loud after a long time: "Okay, what Zhengnan said is true, Cao Cao really agreed." ”

Hearing this, the judge nodded, and said to Yuan Shang: "In this way, the lord should rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, and take Yecheng as soon as possible, so that Lu Bu can be driven to Guangping County one day earlier." ”

"Hmm." Yuan Shang looked at the direction of Cao Ying, nodded silently, and suddenly asked, "Zhengnan, if Cao Cao and Lu Bu are both defeated......"

"Lord!" The judge hurriedly exclaimed: "This move is absolutely impossible, Cao Cao treats the lord with faith, but the lord takes the opportunity to assassinate, I am afraid of losing the hope of the world!" ”

"Yes." When Yuan Shang heard this, he nodded with a smile, no longer said more on this topic, and instead ordered the three armies to quickly pull out the camp and march in the direction of Yecheng.

The judge looked at Yuan Shang's figure, and suddenly felt a little cold, although Yuan Shang is very similar to Yuan Shao in many ways, but he is more mean and unkind than Yuan Shao, at this moment, when it is related to the safety of Jizhou, he still thinks about calculating his allies, not that he can't, but he can't say it in front of his subordinates at this time, compared to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang's means are still too immature.
