Wu Song naturally didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, all he saw was the difficulties in front of him, and the Song Dynasty had never paid much attention to cavalry.

As for whether to form cavalry, there were heated discussions from the court to the civilians, and the final result was that it was not resolved.

Wu Song replied truthfully: "I don't know, and I can't figure it out." ”

Cao Cao sighed lightly, and seeing that no one was approaching, he explained in a low voice: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." Our main opponent is not the thieves, not the army of the dynasty, not even the army of the Liao State, but the iron cavalry of the Jin State. ”

"The gold lord has no small ambitions, and he is currently swallowing the territory of Liao State, and when he finishes cleaning up his old enemies, I am afraid that the next one will make a move against the Great Song Dynasty."

"The army of the Song Dynasty can't even defeat the remnants of the Liao State, and it is definitely not the opponent of the Jin State, and when the world is in chaos, it is the time for us to appear."

After hearing this, Wu Song was shocked, he didn't know until now why Cao Cao wanted to form a cavalry, it turned out to be to fight against the Jin State Iron Cavalry!

Wu Song didn't know so much about national affairs, nor did he think about it so much, so naturally he didn't analyze and predict the general trend of the world.

Although Wu Song occasionally heard Cao Cao talk about it, he always felt that military affairs were far away from him, so he didn't care.

Wu Song thought carefully about what Cao Cao said, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, and only then did he understand his good intentions.

Seeing that Wu Song was thoughtful, Cao Cao continued: "It is impossible to defeat the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom by infantry alone, and we must form cavalry to compete with it, so we must prepare in advance in case we need it. ”

"As for the Liangshan bandits, there is nothing to be afraid of at all, just a group of rogues, it is difficult to achieve great things."

At this time, Liangshan had not yet developed, and its influence was limited, but Natian Hu had gathered 100,000 soldiers, and now it has occupied 16 counties in five prefectures and is the king of Hebei.

Thinking of this, Wu Song asked, "What about Tian Hu?" ”

Cao Cao didn't answer Wu Song's question directly, but instead asked, "Do you know why there are so many strongmen around Yanggu?" ”

Wu Song blurted out: "Who doesn't want to drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, and act chivalrous with their brothers?" ”

Cao Cao corrected: "No, they don't call it chivalrous righteousness, they call it a party of disaster!" ”

"And the reason why they gathered people to rebel was because the imperial court didn't give them a way to live, and they were forced to take risks because they had no choice but to take risks."

Wu Song followed Cao Cao's words and said: "In recent years, taxes have indeed been heavier, coupled with all kinds of overt and violent expropriation, the people at the bottom have indeed been squeezed very much. ”

Cao Cao sighed and continued: "Yes, when the ruler of the dynasty was greedy for pleasure, regardless of whether the people lived or died, of course the people would not sit idly by, and could only resist by exposing the rod, so do you know why the imperial court did not send troops to suppress it?" ”

Wu Song hadn't thought about this issue in depth before, and realized this for the first time under the guidance of Cao Cao, ordinary people knew that the side of the couch would not allow others to snore, and it was impossible for a country to sit and watch the thieves and thieves snore.

The scale of Liangshan was not large at first, and it was normal for the imperial court not to pay attention to it when there was a small fight, but since Chao Gai became the master, even Yanggu was making preparations, and even went to Kaifeng specifically for this matter.

In other words, the emperor must have known about this, so why didn't the emperor send a forbidden army to encircle and suppress the traitors, but instead agreed to Yanggu to form a group training?

Wu Song thought for a long time, and said tentatively: "Isn't it related to the war in Western Xia?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Wu Song appreciatively: "Yes, the current war with Western Xia has reached a critical juncture, and the imperial court has no spare strength to quell the rebellion." As long as the war in Western Xia ended, the rebels everywhere would be suppressed. ”

"The reason why I want to form Yanggu Group Training is not to see the immediate crisis at all, but to prepare for the big changes in the future."

"Chao Gai and Tian Hu don't provoke us, they will naturally be fine, and the imperial court will clean them up sooner or later. If they don't have long eyes, then we will destroy them! ”

Cao Cao said a few words about the domineering side leakage, which has the meaning of pointing out the country.

Wu Song was deeply encouraged, and hugged his fists and said: "Brother, no matter what you do, I will follow you and be your right-hand man, but can you tell me first how you arranged me?" ”

"Let's talk about it first, even if you have the foresight to establish a cavalry capital, I shouldn't be the deputy head of the city, and if you want a horse or not, what kind of cavalry is it?"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, and after talking for a long time, Wu Song still didn't understand his good intentions: "You, your ability to do things has improved a lot recently, and you have gradually become more comprehensive in considering problems, but this is the only point, and your anxious personality has not changed at all." ”

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has clouds, and as a general, he needs to be wise, faithful, benevolent, brave, and strict......"

When Wu Song heard this, he hurriedly took over the conversation: "I know, I know, I have already memorized this paragraph." ”

"For the generals, when the upper and the lower know the geography and the people, when the shawl is sharp, the courage to take the lead, regardless of difficulties, the reward must be done, and the punishment must be believed."

"When the enemy army is suppressed, the hearts of the enemy and the people are appeased, and the heart is attacked for the upper and the city is the lower."

"When the merit is returned to the public, the reward is a soldier, and the defeat is not ashamed, and the victory is not proud."

"When the law is ruthless, law-abiding first, the army is governed, the army is in a good way, the morale is inspired, the people are inspired, the talents are known, the talents are used, the good friends are made, the right way is done, the hearts of the people are collected, the heart of the whole army is clear, the righteousness is clear, and the world is in charge!"

During this time, Wu Song's knowledge has grown, and he has deliberately memorized key documents, so that he can answer fluently.

Cao Cao glanced at Wu Song and said: "Then you should understand that a good general must be patient, patient, steady, and think about everything before acting, frizziness will only give the enemy a chance." ”

"Tell me, I already have your position in mind, but why haven't I told you all the time?"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Wu Song thought about it for a long time, and suddenly understood Cao Cao's good intentions: "My brother wants to sharpen my temperament and get rid of my problems." ”

Cao Cao patted Wu Song on the shoulder: "Yes, my second brother is invincible in the world, extremely brave, and it is more than enough to be a general, but I want you to be not just a martial artist, but a general!" ”

"Since you are a general, I naturally have higher requirements for you, do you understand?"

Wu Song had tears in his eyes, and understood that Cao Cao was thinking about him from beginning to end, and after being moved, he hurriedly said: "Brother, I had a lot of complaints about you at first, but now I know that I blamed you wrongly." Brother, punish me and beat me, Wu Song has nothing to say! ”

"My family is a brother, what do you say? This is what I should do as an elder brother, I have already arranged your position, not the deputy head. ”

"Is that the head of the capital?" Wu Song's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
