Thunder went far from the clouds, and the brilliant spring light rose to the sky and overlooked the muddy land. The sound of horse hooves rolled into the muddy. Thousands of cavalry turned into torrents and swelled on the field outside the camp of the Cao army in Yinping. Near the huge camp, there were also soldiers and horses gushing out. Cao Chun rode his war horses and looked at the running cavalry from afar. He remembered the past. The thousands of Cao army soldiers who had led them were looking at the galloping horses with a solemn face.

"Zihe, you are also the leader of this Black Mountain cavalry. How do these cavalry compare to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?" Cao Hong spoke beside him, who was a brother in the clan, and he had no concerns about speaking.

Cao Chun looked at him and showed a gentle expression. His eyes looked at the two figures sitting side by side on the huge platform ahead, and his voice was very light: "I used to be considered half an elite, but they dared to fight to the death. Now I don't know that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is just well-equipped, and now I have only fought a good fight in Xuzhou. There is still a gap compared to them, not to mention that the leader Gongsun still has a bow and cavalry in his hand."

Looking at the figure talking to the clan brothers on the platform, he paused: "That is the real cavalry. Zi Lian and the tiger and leopard cavalry still have a long way to go."

Although Cao Hong led the army alone, he only knew the way of cavalry. Following the eyes of the clan brothers, he also looked at the sunlight on the platform. The soft wind blew past the flags and the cloaks of two figures. Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao swept away the embarrassment of fighting last night. They sat on the stage in a dress and faced countless soldiers and generals without anger. On both sides, the chief generals of the army sat upright in succession, clasped their fists and pressed on their knees, setting off a solemn atmosphere.

Watching the cavalry roared across their sight.

"After the powerful crossbow in Jizhou, the cavalry in Youzhou, the white horse general left, there was no white horse righteousness, and you were the wolf in the north. It seems that your father-in-law's words are going to be changed."

Cao Cao looked at the Black Mountain cavalry in the wilderness with interest and said words. Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other relatives were sitting nearby, communicating with serious expressions. They were all long-time generals in the army, so they naturally had a judgment on an army. After a moment, Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the side: "Gongsun, today we see your military power, Cao also wants to let the cavalry under his command practice. Why not fight against each other?"

"It's still early. Since Cao Yanzhou wants to try the weight of the tiger and leopard cavalry, then try it." Gongsun Zhi closed his eyes and nodded, and raised his hand, "Blow the wolf's throat."

Wow

Cao Cao looked at Li Ke who was standing on the side of the platform and blew the wolf howl. His eyes lit up and he nodded with appreciation: "This is not bad. You can adapt to changes in the chaotic battlefield, which is more effective than hitting the order flag."

While speaking, the military order was passed down below, and Cao Chun turned over and said, "Change the weapons and get on the horse."

The cavalry behind him took wooden sticks and knives from the hands of others, jumped out a thousand riders and followed the generals to enter the open area of ​​the field. After walking the horse twice, they started forming a formation. On the other side, they held the wooden stick and pushed the horse forward dozens of steps, shouting: "Master Cao, do you still remember Zijing?"

"Of course I remember!"

He pulled the robber and crossed the reins: "That move will let Commander Cao see how the Black Mountain Cavalry looks after you leave." After saying this, he beat the horse back to the formation, and behind him were a thousand cavalry stomping out slowly. These bandits had already transformed from dozens of battles. They had no ferocious expression on their faces. They simply waved wooden sticks to hit the small shield on their arm. The sound became neatly and made a loud banging sound, and their momentum suddenly rose.

Around the Cao army generals and soldiers closed their words, looked at the cavalry with a breath holding their breath, and then a roar rang out in their ears, and the earth rumbling, and the slow Black Mountain Cavalry turned into a torrent and rushed straight to the tiger and leopard cavalry in front of them swept over.

Cao Chun narrowed his eyes and measured the distance, held his stick and shouted at the back: "The tiger rode forward, prepare."

Among the thousands, five hundred cavalrymen in armor clamped their long sticks and rushed to the first formation ahead. The other five hundred cavalry were named leopard cavalry, which belonged to the light cavalry and was very fast. After the tiger cavalry ran out of the array, they immediately turned into two strands and ran left and right under the order of Cao Chun, rushing from both wings, turning in an arc shape, wanting to encircle and eat the other party in one fell swoop.

On the opposite side, the Qiang Zha in the charge was stunned, then smiled and made a gesture, and the messenger made an arrangement. At the extreme distance between the two sides, Cao Chun's two light cavalry with two hundred people turned and suddenly penetrated upwards. At the same time, the front team of the Black Mountain cavalry with only a hundred people exceeded the distance and crashed into the 500 tiger cavalry. After the two sides exchanged strikes, they slowed down and made movements that were difficult for all Cao's soldiers to understand. They dismounted sideways, and then used the war horses to form a circular defensive array and the center blossomed, disrupting the tiger cavalry array. The remaining nine hundred cavalry turned and diverted, and hit head-on toward the leopard cavalry with a very small number on both sides.

The outcome has been decided.

Cao Cao opened his mouth in a slight surprise, then stroking his hands and laughed: "The way of cavalry is, in the future, only Lu Bu can compete with your cavalry."

"There is Lu Bu among the things I want to talk about today." Gongsun Zhi waved to Li Ke and asked him to inform the Heishan cavalry to rest. Next to him, Cao Cao waved his eyes seriously, looked at the other party, and stood up: "Gongsun, let's walk around with me."

Gongsun Zhi was wearing a fox fur, tall and well-proportioned body, and heroic steps. Cao Cao was also tall and tall, with his hands in his arms, and he was quite imposing. The two of them walked side by side on the road between the fields, with their own guards following him hundreds of steps away. Everyone knew that the two had to discuss important things, so they naturally would not go up to disturb them.

In the spring sky, the country roads are quiet, with green grass. Occasionally, birds pass by the two of them, and it is quiet for a while. Cao Cao spoke first but mentioned his son: "Is it okay for Zixi to be in the north? Have you changed his soft and weak personality? His biological mother died early since he was a child and was raised by my wife. He has never suffered any hardships. Have you ever seen blood on the grassland?"

"I fought against the Xianbei earlier." Gongsun Zhi shook his head and passed a moment before continuing: "But Young Master Ang had never fought a war, so he didn't let him go up. Marines and wars are not a joke, and people will die. First, let him be more familiar with the army, know how to ride horses and draw bows, and then pick up some simple wars. Killing a few people will be considered to have some growth. It is too early to be."

The figure next to him stopped, then bowed.

Gongsun Zhi also stopped and turned slightly, frowned: "Why is Cao Yanzhou?"

"Nothing, just thank you as a father." Cao Cao stood up, carried his hands on his back, and did not care about the actions of thanking this young man just now. He looked at Yingran Green Field in front of him: "You mentioned Lu Bu on the high platform before, and he came to Yanzhou?"

"It should be here. Last year, he left Yuan Shao and went to Zhang Yang's place in Shangdang. Last month, when I attacked Shangdang County, I only knew that he had taken the old Bingzhou subordinates south. If he surrendered to you, there must be a letter. Obviously you don't know about it, then there is only one possibility." Gongsun Zhi knew roughly the whole story, but it was impossible to tell it all at the moment. Instead, it would cause suspicion and did not help much in the matter.

"Lu Bu is a brave man, if there is no response, he will not be able to enter Yanzhou." Cao Cao let out a heavy breath and looked at the direction of Xuzhou: "But if he stops the troops and returns, the troops are in full swing, which is a pity."

Clouds floated over, blocking the sunshine.

"You can't eat Xuzhou!" Gongsun Zhi looked cold and stopped: "Once the internal strife in Yanzhou and the military morale is chaotic, how could Tao Qian wait for death? If you kill so many times in Xuzhou, how could the people tolerate you? If neither side will tolerate you, where will you go?"

He pursed his lips and took a breath: "We formed allies and attacked Yuan Shao from the north and the south. Now he has already gained the four states of You, Ji and Qing, and are stepping up training to recuperate. We only have this time. In a few years, more than 100,000 troops have swarmed south. What should we do?"

"You want to conquer Xuzhou, it's great, but someone stabbed the knife in the back and lost the foundation. You won't even have the qualifications to talk to me at that time." His tone suddenly rose, with anger.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and was silent. Hundreds of gazes around him looked here. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the sky, his voice calmly: "You are right. If you lose Yanzhou, I, Cao Cao, aren't it in front of the princes of the world.

"Xuzhou is a small matter. If you lose your hometown in Yanzhou, you will be embarrassed to be trapped here." Cao Cao turned around and walked with big strides, "But just go back like this, won't it make Tao Qian suspicious? Feint attacked once."

Cao Cao stood among the crowd and stretched out his palms sideways: "Gongsun, come! Walk with me and scare the old man to death!"

"Hahaha, this is the Cao Cao I remember!" Gongsun Zhi went over and stretched out his hand.

Smack

Palms are slapped together and clenched.

***************************************

Tan County.

The sky was tilted, the afterglow was shining on the top of the city, and the red color reflected a desolation. The old man, who was over 60 years old, walked tremblingly on it. Outside his vision, there were wars everywhere, and after more than a month of war, all the places where Cao's army passed were slaughtered. It was said that no chickens and dogs were left, and there were countless casualties. The smell of corpses remained in the air floating from afar.

The sky darkened, and the wind blew gently through the white long beards. I closed my eyes: "My mistake is gone."

Behind him, a torch came over, so don’t bow to the old man’s back: “Lord, don’t worry, reinforcements are already on the road.”
