Chapter 154: Tiger and Leopard Ride
"The official family can know that after the Wei Wu made a fortune, an elite cavalry was formed, this army appeared for the first time in the ninth year of Jian'an, and killed the enemy general commander Yuan Tan, and later when the Cao army marched north to Wuhuan, this army captured the thief head of the thief, and then later, it was Yu Changbanpo who broke Emperor Zhaolie and defeated Ma Mengqi in Xiliang."
Liu Bang has heard this paragraph of the Three Kingdoms several times, Lu Zai said it once, Xin Ciying said it again, and even sometimes he would ask Huang Yanjie, and from his mouth he could also hear the description of this story by the storyteller in Bianjing City.
At this time, he lowered his head and thought about it, there were actually not too many troops in the Three Kingdoms that could leave their names, if they were limited to Cao Wei......
"Tiger and leopard riding?"
Chong Lei had a relieved expression: "Official, it is indeed a tiger and a leopard ride, but to be precise, it should be a tiger ride and a leopard ride." ”
"And then? The tiger and leopard cavalry turned out to be two troops, don't tell Lao Tzu that this is your discovery. ”
Seed Thunder said:
"Naturally not, mainly these two cavalry, it's really weird."
Liu Bang looked at him: "What's wrong, you can say it, Lao Tzu has his own judgment." ”
"First, the history can leave its name, but it can be seen that its battles are only five or six battles...... Whether it is killing Yuan Tan or breaking Wuhuan, whether it is Emperor Zhaolie or the Xiliang cavalry, wherever there is a name, there must be a big victory, such an elite, but rarely in battle, don't you think it's weird? ”
According to that time, it is indeed a bit strange that there is such a force but it is not well used, but to think about it separately, it is precisely because this army is very expensive that it is reluctant to use it, and it is not unreasonable.
Chong Lei is not a person without measure, he can be pulled here, there must be his reason, Liu Bang is rare and patient:
"Go on."
"Second, when Yuan Tan was broken, it was just after the Battle of Guandu, even if Wei Wu took over Yuan Shao's territory, it was not easy to form such an invincible cavalry in a short period of time. What's more, according to Wei Wu's suspicious temperament, he trusted these two cavalry very much, and all the commanders were all Cao clan relatives, and even more, he personally led this tiger and leopard cavalry. ”
"Anything else?"
Chong Lei bowed and said: "Third, kill Yuan Tan and capture Badun, especially when Changbanpo broke Emperor Zhaolie, even Zhuge Wuhou said: 'Travel more than 300 miles in one day and one night, the end of this so-called strong crossbow, it is impossible to wear Lu Mian', but it is the end of such a strong crossbow, and it still passes the defense of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. ”
Liu Bang thought for a while: "What's wrong?" ”
Chong Lei said: "Zhou Gongjin besieged Jiangling, Cao Ren led him out of the city, attacked the enemy formation, and rescued the generals Niu Jin and others......"
Liu Bang looked at the thunder, and suddenly a lightning bolt seemed to pass through his mind,
Not true!
This cavalry first killed Yuan Tan, this is the tactic of beheading, pay attention to a 'fast' and 'sudden', and then fight with Badun, including three hundred miles to attack Liu Bei, this is the truth.
But in the battle of Jiangling, when Cao Ren led him out of the city, he used a frontal assault, which was clearly led by Gao Shun, Lu Bu's subordinate, and trapped the camp.
One is the appearance of light cavalry, and the other is the move of heavy cavalry, if the tiger and leopard cavalry is light cavalry, it is absolutely impossible to charge into battle, and even fight with the Xiliang army, but if it is heavy cavalry, where can it be executed to behead and pursue such tactics?
Liu Bang thought for a while: "As you said, the tiger and leopard cavalry are tiger horses and leopard horses, so is it possible that one is a heavy cavalry and the other is a light cavalry like Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horses?" ”
No wonder he thinks so, after all, it is impossible for a cavalry to have both the lethality of a heavy cavalry and the speed and tenacity of a light horse.
If you want to want it, you are playing hooliganism.
"The minister originally thought it was the same, but ......"
He sighed and continued, "But no. ”
"Hmph," Liu Bangpi looked at him with a smile, "No, if not, you should tell Lao Tzu, which cavalry in the world can take care of both?" ”
Chong Lei said: "What the minister means is not that the tiger and leopard cannot be both, but that its charge and pursuit are not similar to Tiefutu and kidnapping horses. ”
"It's medicine."
"Medicine?"
"It is indeed medicine."
Chong Lei seemed to be caught in a memory: "Under the Huazu Temple, this incident has been recorded. ”
"It's said that Wei Wu failed to assassinate Dong, and then returned to his hometown, recruiting many village warriors, before the battle of Guandu, he was still less than a thousand horsemen, and the battle of the white horse, he broke Yuan Shao with six hundred horses, but this tiger and leopard horse is the first division in the world, if there is no accumulation of many years, how can it come out of thin air in a short period of time?"
"The world only said that after the battle of Guandu, Cao Yuan's victory and defeat were divided, and Yuan had no great wisdom at the beginning, so he let Xu You go to the rebellion and ruin the foundation of his own family for several generations, but in fact, in addition to Xu You, there are two other people who are quite important."
"One was Zhong Xuan, who was in the capital governor at that time, who found 2,000 horses from the northwest and sent them to the front line of Guandu."
"There is another one, which is Hua Zu."
"Bozhou is rich in herbal medicine, since ancient times it has been a place where famous doctors haunt, Huazu as a saint in medicine, and Wei Wu is the same hometown, and has also made a lot of efforts."
"And the strength of his old man is these medicines."
"They are not elixirs," said Chong Lei, completely ignoring the emperor's feelings, just like holding back for a long time, he wanted to vent them all.
"It's a ...... Strange medicine, ordinary people take it, at least paralyzed and become stupid, or at worst die on the spot. ”
Liu Bang still couldn't help it: "Could it be poisoning?" If you find a place for water, it is a good idea. ”
Chong Lei glanced at him with some grievances, and when he was about to get up, he was deviated by this one, and he didn't dare to refute anything, but just shook his head:
"It's for tigers and leopards to ride."
"Cao Cao wants to poison the tiger and leopard ride? No, isn't this his own elite? ”
As he spoke, he reached out and probed the forehead of the seeding thunder, this stupid boy is not sick, he is talking nonsense.
"Official!" Chong Lei took a deep breath, "It's not to poison the tiger and leopard rider, but only the cavalry who has taken this medicine can become a tiger and leopard rider." ”
"If a person takes this medicine, he will be manic and bloodthirsty in an instant, and it will be difficult to contain it; Infinite strength, no need to eat or sleep; Knives and guns don't hurt...... This is the original words, engraved below the inscription in front of the Huazu Temple, and it is also the place of Tibetan medicine. ”
"Miracle medicine!" Liu Bang first exclaimed, and then couldn't help asking, "Since this is the case, then why don't everyone take some, in this case, Cao Cao's kid will not have unified the world long ago?" ”
Kind of thunder said: "If you can't do it, you can't do it." ”
"I told you before, ordinary people take it, either death or injury, this medicine is extremely strong, it is not something that ordinary people can bear, you must be strong and strong, you can bear it."
"The Book of Wei says: 'The tigers and leopards of the pure superintendent are all sharp in the world, or they will be made up for by a hundred people.'" The selection of the tiger and leopard rider must be at least 100 people, and the harsh conditions can be seen. ”
"In addition to the extremely strict selection conditions, there is another reason, which is because of this medicine...... There is no antidote, and after exhaustion, there is only one fate waiting for them...... Just a death; or die of exhaustion, or die on the battlefield, and there is no solution. ”
"In this way, this tiger and leopard ride has become extremely rare, it is already an elite, after taking the medicine, it has become the elite of the elite, both can charge into battle, but also can pursue and decapitate, people and horses, are tireless, and because it is rare, so it is not a last resort, it is extremely difficult to see its true appearance, even if the world is divided into three, Cao is second, and it is extremely difficult to maintain such a cavalry at all times."
"That's why there are few records of its appearance in battle,"
"Therefore, after Cao Chun's death, Wei Wu will say, 'The ratio of purity, how can it be recovered!' I am not the only one who is evil? In this way, he personally served as the commander of the Haw Par Cavalry. ”
"That's why Hua Zu gave up making medicine for Wei Wu after he had no intention of being subordinate, and even lost his life...... First, Hua Zu cares about the big man, and second, he also feels that such a life-threatening thing is beyond the power of a doctor. ”
"Therefore, the tiger and leopard cavalry will completely disappear after Cao Pi succeeds to the throne, he can't find the medicine, this cavalry consumes a lot, and the name of the tiger and leopard cavalry is useless."
Chong Lei said several times in a row, but Liu Bang simply squatted down, looking at the river sand under his feet, he didn't know what kind of expression it was, Chong Lei didn't dare to hold it up, and he also lowered it together, and his body was much lower than the emperor.
"You said that Li Qiong said that thing was an elixir before, did you want to trick Lao Tzu into eating it, and then ascend to the sky in one step?"
He paused and didn't answer directly, but just echoed:
"The official family is the Son of Heaven, and the blessings are profound, how can he fall for that little trick."
"No," Liu Bang shook his head, "Li Qiong is not a fool, doesn't he know that I will find someone to try the medicine first?" ”
"He probably already knew the effect of this thing when he first started, and wanted me to see it with his own eyes, and then see what it would be like for me to see it too, right? If I get the treasure, take this medicine, and accept him, the dog will definitely resist to the end, and we will burn the jade. ”
"It was precisely because of the mistake that he decided that I was a good person, a good person, and would not let his soldiers eat this thing, so he would think about atonement and the slaughter of the city."
As the head of the Imperial City Division, he knows more about many news than the people in the army, and it is not impossible for the emperor to make this speculation.
"You had a look of wanting to cry without tears before, and you couldn't tell it in your heart, so let's say it, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu will really use the medicine on his own people, but don't say it, I'm worried that I have deceived your brother-in-law, right and wrong, it's really a little difficult to choose."
Hearing him call himself 'brother-in-law', Chong Lei's heart warmed and buried his head lower:
"Since the beginning of Tang Gaozong, I don't know how many emperors have been looking for this thing throughout the ages...... There are no less than a dozen secret passages under Bozhou alone, but if they want to find this thing, they must be ready to use it. ”
"Loyalty, patriotism."
"The official family can use it if they want to, and they will definitely not have the slightest complaint as a courtier, if this thing is done in a way of doing the right thing, the ministers do not have the slightest intention of disobeying the order, but they are just ......"
He looked at the emperor and paused for a long time, then said very solemnly:
"If the official family wants to use this medicine, please give priority to the family."
Even if Liu Bang was a stone, he was a little touched at this time, and he patted Chong Lei's shoulder, which made Chong Lei a little more firm:
"The families in the northwest, when the war was fought, the family has always been to compete for the first, and now all the families are scattered, leaving only the family alive, if the ancestors have spirits, they must also make such a plan."
Liu Bang stood up and helped his waist, he has been exercising too often recently, and he really feels that his body bones are a little weak.
However, after drinking wine today, he still has to do what he should do, otherwise, he would not have asked Huang Yanjie to prepare medicine for himself.
"Okay, you've come all the way here, you shouldn't have eaten yet, let's go over together and have two more drinks."
"After today, I'm afraid that if I want to drink again, it will be a long time later."
Without the emperor's promise, Chong Lei hesitated:
"Official ......"
Liu Bang had already taken a step by himself, walked towards the banquet, he turned his back to the thunder, waved his hand and said:
"This thing is useless, don't talk about it for the time being."
"But I won't use it unless I have to."
"That thing Li Qiong hasn't used before, what's the matter, Lao Tzu is not as good as that bastard?"
If all this is really as Chong Lei said, Liu Bang will definitely not give up the idea of using that magic medicine, but at the same time, what he said with Chong Lei is also true.
Not to mention that it is far from that step, just to say that if this medicine is known by the people in the army, what kind of storm will it cause...... Not everyone spares their lives, and not everyone puts revenge before their own lives.
When the time comes, there will definitely be trouble...... Why should it be your turn to die?
The Song State is a country that can produce dozens of uprisings in ten years, which is not much worse than the Qin State back then, and the temperament of the people is not so weak and deceitful.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, Li Qiong is a person he can't look down on, even Li Qiong is not uncommon to use, he used it himself, doesn't that mean that he is not as good as that beast?
Liu Bang comforted himself like this, while playing haha, waving to Daxingguo and Li Laoseng, who were still stunned, and on the other hand, he had already ordered Huang Yanjie to take care of the medicine, and there must be no mistakes.
Without the emperor's orders, the old eunuch also regarded the things of the Zhao Guan's family as more important than his own life, and his identity was special, under normal circumstances, no one would find him in the house.
Besides, there are so many soldiers around, so how easy is it for outsiders to want to get in?
Alien?
Huang Yanjie seemed to think of something, and looked towards the boat, but as soon as his eyes made contact, he heard a loud noise, as if it was the sound of a wooden board breaking, and ......
A woman's voice?
The lively feast suddenly fell silent, and even the people who were drinking forgot their business, and held their wine bowls in the air, and everyone looked at them together.
