The next half hour.

Cao Cao's father and son and a group of clan generals gathered together to discuss it carefully.

In the end, an arrangement plan was proposed.

After the formation of the new army, Cao Cao was naturally the leader of this army and was in charge of the Chinese army alone.

Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan each led an army, and the specific number of soldiers and horses to lead had to wait for the recruitment to be completed.

As for Weizi, who was also to be incorporated into the army, considering that he had the merit of donating funds, Cao Cao included him in the jurisdiction of the Chinese army and was directly under his own direct control.

Chen Gong was designated as a military advisor.

As for Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, this is a person from the Tiger Battalion, and he is a descendant of Cao Ang, so naturally it is not within the scope of this discussion and arrangement.

Among the clan generals who came to defect this time, only Cao Chun had other arrangements.

Originally, Cao Cao planned to integrate Cao Chun into the new army, and also led an army alone, and was roughly equal to several other people.

It was only as soon as his arrangement was said that Cao Ang took the lead in putting forward a different opinion.

He hoped that Cao Chun would be the commander of the cavalry.

That's what Cao Ang considered before.

From now on, buy war horses, train soldiers, and form a combat cavalry unit.

To be honest, Cao Cao was quite apprehensive about this.

Because cavalry is expensive!

Whether it is a war horse, or the equipment of the cavalry, or even the various costs of training a cavalryman, compared to the infantry, it is absolutely sky-high.

Although now he has the support of the entire Cao family.

The wealth and food heritage are no longer the same.

But Cao Cao still preferred to use the money to expand the size of the infantry, and even if it was poor, he could build more weapons and armor.

There was really no need to form any cavalry.

After all, on the battlefield.

Unless it is a crushing battle, the cavalry must be built in size to be highly lethal.

And so it goes.

With the strength of the Cao family at this stage, if the cavalry is blindly and hastily formed, but it cannot burst out of combat effectiveness, then the cost performance is too low.

It's not as good as hard power on the whole point.

But Cao Ang's words convinced him.

"Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang, and the strongest troops under his command are the Xiliang cavalry."

"Once the two armies face each other, Dong Zhuo will let the cavalry charge, and our army does not have any means to hold the enemy hostage, even if it has more infantry, what use can it be?"

"There is no difference between 5,000 soldiers and 7,000 soldiers in the face of a large-scale cavalry charge, and they will be broken up in the same formation, and then dispersed on the spot."

"In this case, instead of expanding the number of infantry, it is better to take advantage of the present time to form a cavalry in advance, and then it can also be countered on the battlefield."

This is naturally Cao Ang's excuse.

Cavalry was not needed to defeat Dong Zhuo.

Whenever they hit a hard bone, everyone acted with each other and didn't contribute to the work.

I didn't fight a tough battle at all!

Not to mention the cavalry hedge.

Cao Ang is simply thinking about the long-term, and in the future, he will dominate the world, and cavalry is indispensable no matter what, which can become a trump card in his hand.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo could only be dragged out.

Anyway, the big black fat can always be his shield.

And Cao Cao after hearing Cao Ang's words.

Sure enough, I was tempted.

He didn't have a long-term plan.

At present, the biggest goal is to crusade against Dong Zhuo, eliminate the national thieves, and restore peace and stability to the Han family.

If Cao Ang told him.

The formation of cavalry is to be able to have strong strength in the future, and Cao Cao will probably not agree.

can take Dong Zhuo out and talk about things.

And it makes sense.

The Xiliang cavalry is famous all over the world, and if the two sides really want to go head-to-head, then the effect of spending money to form a counter-cavalry is far better than expanding the scale of the infantry.

So after thinking about it again.

Cao Cao accepted Cao Ang's opinion.

Ordered Cao Chun to immediately start forming cavalry, and he would send people to buy war horses, and at the same time take out some money and food, and open up the supply!

……

Outside the tent.

The wind was cold.

Cao Ang clasped his hands in his sleeves, parallel to Cao Chun's left and right, and walked towards the outside of the military camp.

Dian Wei, who was as tall as a copper mountain, followed him a few steps behind him.

Since the return to Dingtao County.

Dian Wei quickly transformed into Cao Ang's personal guard, and he went wherever Cao Ang went.

When he entered the tent just now, Dian Wei waited outside the tent, and when he returned to his mansion at night, Dian Wei also rested in the front yard of the mansion.

It can be described as dutiful!

patting his face, which had been blown by the cold wind, Cao Chun glanced back without a trace.

Seeing Dian Wei seemed to be aware of it.

He hurriedly retracted his gaze, his pace quickened a little, and he followed Cao Ang's side closely.

What a monster......

Look at the arm that is thicker than his waist, and he beckoned him with a punch, and he was afraid that he would have to lie on the ground.

I don't know where Ziyu found such a fierce man, and he still obeys him like this.

"Zihe, how are your equestrians?"

Just as Cao Chun's thoughts were flying, a voice pulled him back.

Turn your head to look.

I saw that Cao Ang was looking at him with a smile on his face at the moment, and it was obvious that Fang Cai's words came out of his mouth.

Cao Chun was not the slightest surprised by Cao Ang's words for calling himself.

Previously in the tent.

After arranging the military positions, the names of everyone to each other naturally changed.

Because this means that the entire team has been transformed from a family to a military collective, then Cao Ang, as the number two person, is a little inappropriate to call his uncle when he sees these clan generals in the army.

Especially after Weeds took the lead in making the change.

Xiahou Yuan and others also called Cao Ang a major general, and asked Cao Ang to call them directly.

Of course, when he left the barracks and met on the ordinary street, Cao Ang would definitely still call him uncle, and he did not belong to the military group at that time.

In short, there are two sets of titles, depending on the time.

Hear Cao Ang's question at this moment.

Cao Chun thought about it for a while.

Then he nodded heavily.

He said with some confidence: "Don't hide it from the young general, although the last general doesn't dare to say that he is proficient in this way, he can also be called skilled in archery and horses." ”

Cao Chun's self-confidence comes from his long-term exposure to this way since he was young, and he is also interested in driving horses and galloping.

Even after going to Luoyang, his riding skills were not wasted, and he would go to the outskirts of the city every few days.

Talented, interested, and able to practice for a long time, this technique is not high.

In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why Cao Cao's father and son finally decided to appoint him as the commander of the cavalry, and Cao Chun did not have any objections or conflicting opinions.

After getting the answer you wanted.

The smile on Cao Ang's face was even worse.

He pointed to the empty schoolyard not far away.

"There's nothing else important right now, why don't we go there and run two laps?"

As soon as the words fell.

Cao Chun's eyelids couldn't help jumping.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

A few breaths later.

Cao Chun blinked, and then a slight smile appeared on his face as well.

He understood what Cao Ang meant.

This sudden call to go to the racecourse for two laps is by no means targetless.

It's about consciously thinking about yourself.

After all, he was so confident, patting his chest to show that he was skillful in arching horses.

Soon he would take up his post as commander of a cavalry detachment.

In this way, it is reasonable for Cao Ang to want to test him and try his riding skills.

Think about it here.

Cao Chun no longer hesitated.

Immediately clasped his fists, and said very simply: "Major General, please!" ”

……

Come to the side of the school yard.

After instructing a few sergeants to vacate a field.

Cao Ang asked people to bring two fast horses.

They are all more common war horses in the army, and there is no big difference.

And Cao Ang asked Cao Chun to choose a war horse first, and he pulled the remaining one by his side.

In this way, fairness and justice are ensured.

If Cao Chun doesn't run well after these two laps, it won't be Cao Ang's pot.

"Major General, how do we run, why don't you set a rule?"

Cao Ang nodded.

After looking left and right, he ordered several soldiers to stick a low wooden stick on the side of the school yard, and the tip of the stick was wrapped in a few rags and hung on it.

After these preparations.

Cao Ang said to Cao Chun at this time: "The place is not big, and the speed can't run away, so it's better to be more skillful." ”

"We both set off from the west side at the same time, and when we got to the east side, we got the rag ball tied to the stick, and then we turned and ran back."

"Whoever is the fastest and the first to reach the starting point is the winner of this competition, how?"

Cao Chun did not answer immediately.

Instead, I looked at the east side of the school grounds.

The sticks stuck in the ground were so low that even if you walked on two legs, you had to bend down to pick up the rags.

Not to mention riding on horseback, the height difference will be opened in an instant, even if you are lying on the horse, you will never reach it with your hand.

It is only possible if half a person is vacated, the horizontal line hangs under the horse's back, and then reaches out to fish.

It's really a technical job.

And it's very difficult!

If the strength of the legs is not enough, it is easy to lose the balance of the center of gravity and lack of control, resulting in falling off the horse.

And it's not enough to just get the ball.

The content of the competition between the two sides is who arrives at the starting point first, and the speed is also considered.

Hiss......

When I turned my head to look away.

I saw that Cao Ang was already moving his hands and feet, relaxing his muscles and bones, and began to warm up.

Cao Chun couldn't help but ask with some hesitation.

"Major General, isn't this a little too dangerous, I don't care if I fall, I'm afraid that if you fall off the horse, it's really not a joke!"

Cao Chun was actually a kind reminder.

But when these words came out of his mouth, they were full of provocation, and he really had not learned the art of speaking.

Of course, Cao Ang didn't take it to heart.

He just smiled brightly, still brightly.

He waved his hand nonchalantly.

"You don't have to worry about me, as long as you're okay, then let's follow this rule!"

Cao Ang was full of confidence.

It seems that setting such difficult rules is just a piece of cake for him.

Such an appearance immediately aroused Cao Chun's fighting spirit, and he no longer persuaded him.

He knew it in his heart.

The fact that the major general dared to set up such a difficult problem and dared to play in person proves that others are also a little sure of it, after all, there is no need to be reckless.

But Cao Ang is sure, can't he?

Cao Chun thinks that he is skilled in arching horses, and he will not be weaker than anyone else in riding.

Even if it is a general who comes from the border areas such as Youliang and fights on horseback every day, Cao Chun thinks that he has the power to fight.

What's more, Cao Anghu?

Anyway, he will definitely be able to complete this project of picking up the ball right away, it's just a matter of speed.

As for the major general, it is not yet known!

……

After arousing the fighting spirit.

Cao Chun's whole person is full of pride.

also began to warm up in the same place as Cao Ang, and did not dare to slack off.

After so long.

Seeing that everything is almost ready.

Cao Ang ordered the soldiers to ring the gong on the side.

"Bell!"

There was a loud bang, and the eardrums of the people were shocked.

"Later, I will use this gong as a password, and as long as I hear the sound, I will set off, Zihe can have any objections?"

Cao Chun nodded.

Just waiting to say something.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of footsteps behind him.

Looking back.

I saw Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan and others, walking towards this side in clusters.

"Ziyu, Zihe, what happened, why did you ring the gong in the school field?"

After Cao Ang explained the matter.

Cao Cao and the others suddenly became interested.

After asking again and again, and making sure that both of them had a certain degree of certainty about winning the rag ball, several people couldn't help but look at each other, and then a smile appeared on their faces.

Cao Cao first winked at Cao Ang.

After receiving the subtle look from his son, his heart suddenly settled.

Then he said to the rest of the people as if he had no intention: "It's rare that they have this Yaxing, so we might as well get involved." ”

"Just bet on who will win, let's make a good bet, what do you think?"

After Chen Gong and the others arranged things, they had already left the barracks, and they came with Cao Cao, the two Xiahou brothers plus Cao Hong.

They certainly don't make a bad move.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao said it, he nodded in agreement.

On the question of who wins in betting.

But it is rare that there is no disagreement.

Cao Hong took the lead and chose Cao Chun.

As I said before, Cao Hong is a person who only enters and does not leave, but any game like this kind of bet, he can win if he can, and other factors are not considered.

Compared with Cao Chun and Cao Ang, he must be more familiar with Cao Chun, and he also knows that his brothers in his clan are very good at playing flowers on horseback.

On the other hand, his nephew may have some skills, but he may not be very powerful.

Therefore, he firmly chose Cao Chun.

As for the two Xiahou brothers, they didn't think about it so much, Cao Cao said to play, of course, they just bet on Cao Chun at will.

See this.

The smile in Cao Cao's eyes was even worse.

The reason why this gambling scene was proposed, Cao Cao actually had a deeper consideration.

That is to use this matter to frustrate their sharpness and polish and flatten these clan relatives.

After all, they are all within the five suits with themselves, and they all have a certain blood relationship, and they came to join themselves, although they show that they are subordinate, and there is a distinction between superior and inferior.

But arrogance is inevitable.

If you don't press them, I'm afraid it won't be easy to control in the future, and there happens to be such a thing in front of you, which can be used as a powerful breakthrough.

But how effective is it?

I'm afraid it depends on whether my son can help.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but turn his gaze to Cao Ang on the side again.

Seeing that his old god was there, he didn't look panicked.

I can't help but settle down.

My son said that if you are sure, then you will definitely win!
