Chapter 167: Boss Cao's Difficulty
Outside the Hexi Corridor, a place of wind and sand.
Liu Xie actually didn't know how many days he had walked along the way. Anyway, he stayed in the dragon chariot with Liu Jin every day, and no matter how wind, frost, rain and snow outside, he would not affect him.
However, Cao Cao and other military generals were riding horses and wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms. They stayed overnight in the morning and bathed in snow and frost.
"Your Majesty, do you have some tea?"
Liu Jin looked out the window in a daze and served carefully: "I just cooked it, it's hot. Please drink some warm stomach. After leaving the Hexi Corridor, the weather is abnormal, so don't get sick."
"It's okay."
Liu Xie waved his hand. In fact, he felt very uncomfortable at this moment. Although his food and drink cost cannot be compared with the palace, it can even be said that his situation is getting worse and worse.
But if the food of Cao Cao and others was put on and compared, the things he ate were already considered dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
It turned out that Cao Cao and others were fighting outside, and they ate these things and drank river water and snow water.
Just a few days ago, when they just crossed the Hetao Longdu, the weather suddenly changed, and a heavy snow fell without warning. It was at that time that Liu Xie saw Cao Cao sitting on the horse's back, opening his mouth, sucking the flying snow from the sky into his mouth to quench his thirst.
Is this the state of war?
When Liu Xie was a historian, he studied this topic deeply, but unexpectedly, the records he saw in the book were far from the actual situation.
In fact, this is understandable. After all, even if history was recorded in detail at that time, when dynasties changed, it would be considered intentional tampered with.
"Well!"
Just when he was flying outside the sky, the team in front suddenly stopped. Liu Jin hurriedly stuck his head out to check: "What's going on? What's wrong with it?"
"Da Neiguan."
Meng San, who was following the escort, turned his horse's head and leaned forward: "The scout in front found something abnormal, let's stop and wait. Lord Sikong has already taken the generals to inspect, so Your Majesty will stay here for the time being."
"good."
Liu Jin retreated and originally wanted to let Liu Xie rest for a while, but he didn't expect that Liu Xie had already walked slowly from the huge carriage at this time.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"Go ahead and take a look."
Liu Xie said, and walked off the carriage.
Meng San and others hurriedly came up, but they didn't dare to let him take risks in front. Before this trip, Cao Cao had already explained what he said to them. In any case, unless he needed it, Liu Xie would never be allowed to go to the front line.
He also said that if the emperor had any accident, none of them would survive.
Of course, Meng San and other guards said that they were like the proverbs, and no one dared to question him.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"Please stay!"
Meng San and his generals, the guards surrounded Liu Xie. Seeing that he was deaf in his ears, he said to himself: "Since I was the commander of the army in person, how could I hide behind Lord Sikong forever? Now I give you two choices. First, follow me and go to the front to see it, and second... I will punish myself on the spot."
"If you have the skill to stop me, it's better to go ahead and see if you can help!"
Liu Xie said, giving them a blank look. At this time, Liu Jin also got off the carriage, looking at the awkward scene, a little stunned: "Your Majesty, you..."
"Prepare the horse."
“…”
"Prepare the horse!"
"yes!"
Meng San finally chose to compromise. He originally had to be more restrained in character, but he didn't want to be as arrogant as his two brothers. However, he was led by Cao Cao at this moment. He was different from Cao Pi and a few children. His respect and attention to the emperor was extraordinary, so after weighing the pros and cons, he could only do what the emperor wanted.
Emperor, ride on a white horse.
After leading the imperial horse, Meng San still tried hard to persuade him: "Your Majesty, otherwise you will still..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Liu Xie simply and neatly beat him back, then turned over the horse. Although it was shaking, he still pulled the reins of the horse and walked forward.
"Everyone gets on the horse and follow me!"
Seeing this, Meng San sighed and ordered, and followed the team quickly...
The front of the team.
Cao Cao sat upright on the back of the famous horse, Huang Feidian, stroked his beard with one hand, pressed his sword hilt tightly, staring at the unknown team not far ahead, slowly coming.
"drive!"
Suddenly, a horse rushed from the side, reached the point where he was close to him, and flew over: "Master Sikong!"
"Um?"
Cao Cao lowered his eyes and found that it was Cao Hong who was sent by him to inquire about the news.
"Zi Lian, who is in front of you?"
"You are a group of bandits appearing in front of you!"
"Bandit?"
Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and his words were a little indifferent: "Since that's the case, just let Cao Chun lead his troops to destroy them, and bandits should not be kept."
"promise!"
Although Cao Chun did not have any writings in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this person was actually the Qianlijiao of the Cao family. When he was alive, the strongest tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao's subordinates were always controlled by him.
Cao Hong went to pass the order, and Liu Xie had already brought his people here: "See Your Majesty!"
Chao He Sheng asked Cao Cao to turn his head. The moment he saw him, his face suddenly became as cold as Xuanbing, staring at Meng San fiercely: "How did I tell you? Don't let Your Majesty come to battle, can you forget it?"
"Mr. Sikong, my subordinates know that they are guilty!"
After he said this, Meng San quickly jumped off the horse's back and crawled on the ground. He knew very well that it was useless to shirk responsibility and beg for mercy in front of Cao Cao.
If you have the courage to take responsibility, there may be a glimmer of hope. On the contrary, other behaviors will only accelerate the arrival of death.
Sure enough, as soon as this said, the indifference on Cao Cao's face eased a little, and then he turned his gaze to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, you should not come to the front line, you should go back and have a good rest."
"Sikong, I just want to see what you look like when you fight outside on weekdays." Liu Xie said, and came to his side with his horse. Cao Cao also asked Meng San to get up at this moment.
Liu Xie said: "I actually feel a lot when I have come here during this period. Although the war has not started yet,..."
Halfway through his words, a sudden sound of drums broke him. Liu Xie frowned and looked at the messy sound. In front of their team, a team of cavalry roared out. A general wearing a desert-colored battle roar could be seen vaguely holding an iron halberd of the word "Da" at the front of the team Goldman Sachs roared.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The cavalry swarmed and pressed forward like a tide, and the unidentified person opposite them was instantly swallowed up.
After about five minutes, the cavalry retreated, and the group of people disappeared.
Just now, the general in the desert-colored battle robe urged his horse to come. Liu Xie only noticed that his mount was wearing a tiger skin, and under the tiger skin, there were a series of armor pieces connected.
Damn, isn’t this the legendary Cao Cao Guards and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?
Liu Xie clearly remembers that the book records that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did not belong to the court's army in the early days. Their main task was to protect Cao Cao and assist regular army in combat.
But this group of cavalry picks one in a hundred miles and gathers all the elites in the world. The biggest feature is that they wear heavy armor. In addition to ordinary vests, the mounts under their crotch also need to add a whole sheet of tiger skin and leopard skin as decoration, or to intimidate the mounts of enemy cavalry.
The tiger and leopard cavalry are divided into two categories: ** and leopard cavalry. All the commanders of the tiger and leopard cavalry, each officer, and every large and small official must be a child of the Cao family clan. In history, no Xiahou clan has served as the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
It can be seen how much Cao Cao attaches importance to this team.
