This time, Cao Chun led a large group of troops for outdoor training. The purpose was of course to provide targeted training close to actual combat.
General Fei Qian of the Hussars rushed directly from Chang'an to Longyou. When the news reached Cao Chun's ears, it really stimulated him.
Cao Chun was at least a decent cavalry general, and he still had a keen sense of cavalry.
On the other hand, the children of the Shandong gentry were not very interested in the news of the Hussars attacking Longyou, nor did they think there was anything surprising about it. Whether it was 800 or 900 miles, they just ran a little longer and farther.
A little bit? Is there anything so strange and worth saying? Then there are inevitably a few jabbering words about wasting people and money, going to war and so on.
For the children of the Shandong gentry, what they are interested in always ranks first in Shandong, followed by other places, and even Guanzhong is ranked behind beautiful women, fine wine and so on.
As for the great man or the emperor, it is like the distant stars. It is good to be able to see them, but if you say you cannot see them, there is no problem.
But it's different for Cao Chun...
In addition to the problem of speed, as a cavalry general, Cao Chun knew that he could assemble a dozen or twenty cavalry in a blink of an eye, but as the number of people increased, the assembly time would also become longer. The more people, the more problems there are.
, and the military supplies that need to be prepared are even more complicated. Sometimes it takes a month or two to assemble the army, but a few months or even half a year is common!
And why can the hussar be able to set off as soon as they gather?
How is this done?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Cao Chun became, so he took the cavalry and went out of Yuyang City for field training, just to clarify these problems and then improve them from a perspective close to actual combat.
Therefore, urgent subjects are indispensable. Cao Chun led the men and horses to run forward, and Xiahou Shang followed the old rule and took some people behind to guard the logistics supplies. Cao Chun was not worried about Xiahou Shang's leadership ability, but there was nothing
A good candidate can only be like this.
Cao Chun felt that now that the enemy was facing a formidable enemy, and the external pressure from the Hussars was so great, no matter how stupid Xia Houshang was, he would not be able to do evil in secret, so he put all his energy into how to lead his
The subordinates and the recruited Hu cavalry achieve an effect similar to that of the Hussar cavalry's rapid expedition.
But what Cao Chun never expected was that the problem was not with Xiahou Shang, but with Xiahou Zijiang...
In the feudal dynasty, there are inevitably some second generations who would hang out in the army and then put some money on their faces. This is normal. So although Cao Chun didn't like Xiahou Zijiang, he didn't say anything.
I just threw Xiahou Zijiang to Xiahou Shang. Anyway, the meaning is that this is a member of your Xiahou family, you can make your own arrangements to deal with it.
But the question lies in Xia Houshang's ability to lead an army...
The Cao family and the Xiahou family are as close as brothers.
"As close as brothers" means that they are not actually blood brothers.
"Traitor! Traitor of the Xiahou family!" Xiahou Zijiang roared angrily, as if trying to convey his voice to Xiahou Shang's tent.
Xiahou Shang's guards, who were standing guard outside the tent, looked at each other and remained silent.
The reason why Xiahou Zijiang and Xiahou Zang don't even have names in history, only words are left, is enough to prove that Cao Wei's attitude towards these two people at that time was that these two guys didn't even deserve names.
Most people actually know that the Cao family and the Xiahou family will both benefit if they unite, and both will lose if they separate, and the vast majority of the Cao family and Xiahou family also follow this strategy, but the problem is
There are always some people who think they are the smartest people, and then the blind monk discovered Hua Dian.
The death of Xiahou Zizang did not give Xiahou Zijiang an education, and even Xiahou Zijiang thought it had anything to do with him? Why did he need to come to Youbei in place of Xiahou Zizang after Xiahou Zizang died?!
Why?
He doesn't want to!
This is against his wishes!
Why?
Why doesn't anyone want to hear what he wants?
He just wants freedom, just freedom. Couldn't such a small request satisfy him?
After Xiahou Zijiang vented his anger for a while, his head began to spin, and he was ready to change his explanation...
Naizi means love, butt means career. Naizi plus butt means authority!
Since no one likes to hear about sex and buttocks, what about love, career and power?
Xiahou Zijiang was ready to give it a try.
"At least half of the foundation now belongs to our Xiahou family! It belongs to the Xiahou family! It's not the Cao family who can cover the sky with one hand! You Xiahou Shang! Your surname is Xiahou! Not Cao! You are going to lick the Cao family's hougouzi, don't bring it with you
Young Master! Young Master is from the Xiahou family!" Xiahou Zijiang roared, "The fact that Youbei is beaten like this is not the Xiahou family's problem, it's the Cao family's problem!"
Xiahou Zijiang wandered around in the tent. The more he talked, the more he became more certain about his opinions. It was as if there was someone standing in front of him who was arguing with him. The more he argued, the more Xiahou Zijiang was excited.
Get up, "The Cao family didn't have the guts to fight against the Hussar subordinates, so they recruited Hu Qi! But what's the use of Hu Qi? They are not loyal to us at all! They took our money today and worked hard for us, so these
Hu Qi will also work hard for other people’s money in the future!』
It has to be said that in chaotic times, young men are always forced to grow up quickly. Although Xiahou Zijiang has a bastard personality, there is some truth to what he said. The more chaotic the situation becomes, the more scarce loyalty becomes.
, the evaluation of disloyal people will always be low.
"Will these Huqi really listen to us? That's bullshit!" Xiahou Zijiang waved his arms and shouted loudly, "They look at us like fools! They just want to make a fortune from us.
Money! Then why should we treat them well? They are our dogs! They must know who is their master! You two, yes you two, come in! I have something to say!"
Xiahou Shang's guards standing outside the tent looked at each other again, then walked into the tent and nodded towards Xiahou Zijiang, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"I have no hatred against you, General Boren. We are both from the Xiahou family, aren't we?" Xiahou Zijiang waved his arms and strengthened his tone, "We are from the Xiahou family! Our surname is not Cao! I know you two are in trouble, but
Everyone present is Xiahou! Xiahou! The quarrel between me and General Boren was not because of others, but because of Xiahou! For the prestige of the Xiahou family!』
Xia Houshang's guard couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
How does this have anything to do with the Xiahou family's reputation?
Everyone looked at Xiahou Zijiang.
Xiahou Zijiang slowly walked in circles in the tent, with a look of worry on his face, "The reason why the hussar is so powerful is because the cavalry is so good! It has to be said that the hussar traveled north and south, attacking the Huns, and leveling the troops."
Xianbei, even if we continue to discuss the rights and wrongs behind their backs, we have to say that the Hussars are indeed powerful! This is not to enhance other people’s ambitions and destroy our own prestige, but we must see that there is a gap! Only by admitting the gap can we
There will be progress!』
this……
It seems to make some sense?
Cao Cao is old.
Although it is not as old as the Battle of Chibi in history, it does not prevent others from "imagining" after Cao Cao's death. Lao Cao now has such a large foundation, even if Cao Pi takes over in the future, so many uncles and uncles will
Naturally, they need to establish their own status and share the benefits!
Cao Cao naturally had nothing to say about Xiahou Dun, but what about Cao Pi?
Will Cao Pi still be so close to and trust the Xiahou family?
And what about the other members of the Cao family?
"We, the Xiahou clan, are Xiahou after all!" Xiahou Zijiang stared at Xiahou Shang's two guards and said, "I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Cao Zi and the general, but in these troubled times, military power is the foundation! My father officially relies on being superior to others.
Only through outstanding achievements can we gain a foothold under the Cao family and achieve our current status! But this time we are practicing in Beishang, what are we, the Xiahou family, doing? Huh? What are we doing? We are cleaning the boots of the Cao family's children! We are sending horse feed! This
Is this what we, the Xiahou clan’s descendants, should do? What kind of merit can we get by doing these things? Huh?! Could it be that after we go back, others will reward us just because we wiped our boots clean?! 』
In the tent, both Xiahou Shang's guards and Xiahou Zijiang's guards couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Think about it, if we are so embarrassed and can't hide here, greatly damaging the reputation of Xiahou, and when the news is passed back, then the Cao family can use this as an excuse to deprive us of Xiahou's military power.
Anyway, we only know how to clean boots and deliver fodder, so we can spend our whole lives cleaning boots and delivering fodder!" Xiahou Zijiang stared at him with great momentum, "Think about it for yourselves! Use the only brains you have to think about it! Really?
At that time, how will we Xiahou family deal with each other?! This is the Cao family's conspiracy! The conspiracy! They want us Xiahou family to obey their orders for the rest of our lives, and even for the next life! Father, they have built this foundation
, cannot be ruined in our hands! I want to lead people to attack! He refuses to die! Just because of this, I had a quarrel with Xiahou Boren, but he didn’t believe it and didn’t listen! Now I ask you, I’m right
Still not right?!』
Well?
Not for Nai Zi?
This actually made Xiahou Shang's guards quite surprised and doubtful.
Xiahou Zijiang even shed tears when he talked about the emotional part, "You are all members of the Xiahou family. We are all prosperous and we are all devastated. How can we not understand this truth? I beg you to accompany me."
After fighting this battle, the future wealth and honor will be with everyone, isn’t it? That’s it for now, you might as well think about it carefully!”
Everyone present couldn't help but feel a little emotional, this...
What a surprise! It turns out that Xiahou Zijiang is so worried about the country and the people, and is so worried about the Xiahou family's great cause. Is it really because he underestimated him before?
Seeing everyone thinking, Xiahou Zijiang struck again while the iron was hot, "I don't know what Cao Zihe is thinking, but I know that he has never looked down on our Xiahou family! You have spent a lot of time in Youbei."
It's time. Anyone who is not blind can see Cao Zihe's attitude towards us! Think about it carefully, if in the future, the Xiahou clan loses military power... No, no, let me make it more clear.
, if Xiahou loses the power of cavalry in the future... Haha, what will happen to you, you might as well think about it! Now that you have the opportunity, why not fight more! But General Boren just won't allow it! Who do you think this is?
Who is right and wrong?!』
Xiahou Zijiang said something so heartbreaking that everyone present was moved.
The honor and disgrace of these Xiahou children on the battlefield are naturally linked to the word Xiahou. In addition, the Xiahou family of the Cao family started in the military, and they understand the importance of military power. Now Cao Cao is the prime minister, and the Cao family
Naturally, there are undercurrents surging among the Xiahou clan, and they are all vying for their own three-acre land. Basically, there is no longer the atmosphere of unity that the whole clan had when they first raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo.
In the Central Plains, the combat effectiveness of cavalry is undoubtedly top-notch.
Youbei is the only territory where Cao's army is dominated by cavalry.
Nowadays, factions in Jizhou and Yuzhou are fighting for each other, and they secretly want to kill each other if they catch each other's mistakes. In addition, Cao Cao's army had to retreat and defend in front of Fei Qian's cavalry. Therefore, Cao Cao's own cavalry is very important.
The sex is self-evident. Then think about it, did Xiahou Dun ask Xiahou Zijiang to come here with some intention of competing with the Cao family for the dominance of the cavalry?
Keep thinking about this...
The Xiahou family is unlucky. It is these Xiahou children who are unlucky. The Xiahou children are unlucky.
faction, there is nothing more to say about the Xiahou clan commanding this army!
Thinking about it this way, it seems to be the same thing!
"But the problem now is that Xiahou Boren disagrees!" Xiahou Zijiang stared at Xiahou Shang's two guards, "Do you two understand now? Who is the traitor, huh? Who is the traitor to the Xiahou family?!"
The two guards sent by Xiahou Shang to monitor Xiahou Zijiang suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Now, if you two think that your general is right, then there is nothing to say. If not..." Xiahou Zijiang shook his head, "Then I will give you two a hard time!"
"Young Master, what are you going to do?" Xia Houshang's guard asked.
Xiahou Zijiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't do anything, I will leave the camp! I am different from your generals. The Xiahou clan has to personally lead the army! Only then can we be the Xiahou clan!"
Xia Houshang's guards looked at each other and hesitated, "Sorry, the order we received..."
"Then I can only give you two a hard time! Take it down for me!" Xiahou Zijiang shouted, and immediately his guards rushed forward, forced Xiahou Shang's men into a corner, and then tied them up.
If it weren't for what Xiahou Zijiang said before, Xiahou Shang's guards would inevitably resist. However, Xiahou Zijiang's words made these people hesitate, and some of them were tied up half-heartedly...

In the darkness, some footsteps suddenly came from the gate of the military camp.
The soldiers on guard at the gate of the military camp looked up and saw a dozen cavalrymen approaching Xiahou Zijiang.
The soldier on duty subconsciously asked: "What are you doing?"
Under the light and shadow of the torch at the camp gate, Xiahou Zijiang, who was in the lead, said with a straight face, "On the order of the general, I went out of the camp to investigate!"
Night scouts are not a rare thing. After all, when the two sides are fighting, sometimes a team of scouts will be sent out at intervals between day and night. But the problem is that we are not fighting now, we are just training. To put it bluntly,
It is not impossible to be a sentinel at night, but it is somewhat strange for Xiahou Zijiang to be a sentry in person.
The soldier on duty didn't ask any questions and stretched out his hand, "In that case, where is the token?"
Xiahou Zijiang led his men and walked forward to the soldiers on duty. Then suddenly a whistle was blown, and someone rushed forward and grabbed the military academy on duty. Someone else stuck the throat of the military academy on duty, preventing him from shouting.
Xiahou Zijiang's eyes revealed a ferocious look, and he glanced around: "Who dares to move!"
Cao Jun at the camp gate didn't know what was going on and looked at each other in confusion.
Xiahou Zijiang said coldly: "The children of the Xiahou clan will take glory immediately! How can you be considered a hero if you are hiding in the camp! If you are still a hero of our Xiahou clan, don't you want to be here like a tortoise with your head shrunk?
If you return home and become the laughing stock of your fellow clan members, I don’t expect you to go to war with me, or at least keep your mouth shut! Who dares to inform General Cao at this moment that I don’t recognize anyone with a long sword in my hand! Open the camp gate!”
The military academy sent by Cao Chun to guard the camp gate has been captured, and Xiahou Zijiang has revealed his identity as the Xiahou family. There are no generals on the scene who can restrain him. How dare these Cao Jun soldiers guarding the camp gate to attack him?
He said half a word "no"? The soldiers of Cao's army looked at each other and stood there blankly, completely stupid.
At this time, another war horse was pulled out from behind, which immediately made the soldiers at the camp think that Xiahou Zijiang had really received some military order, or that there was something wrong with the Xiahou family. The conflicts between the big shots made the little soldiers more and more confused.
He was overwhelmed, and finally just stared blankly, and then waited until the camp gate opened and Xiahou Zijiang and others mounted their horses and came out. Then, under the instructions of the Yingmen Military Academy who was coughing, they hurried to report to Cao Chun.
Xiahou Zijiang rushed out of the camp on horseback and took a deep breath, as if the air was filled with sweetness.
"Young Master, where are we going now?" Xiahou Zijiang's guard asked.
Xiahou Zijiang stretched out his hand and said, "Go find the barbarians over there and get the troops!"
"Ah?" Xiahou Zijiang's guard was stunned.
"Are you stupid?" Xiahou Zijiang laughed and said, "Don't you think that we alone can go to war? Let's gather some barbarian troops first, and then go with these barbarians.
Find some tribe to fight with! Let’s raise the prestige of my Xiahou family!』
In fact, Xiahou Zijiang had already thought about it. He approached the Hu people, just like he had just threatened the Yingmen Military Academy, and asked them to command the troops and horses. He followed him to the west to find a scattered small tribe to fight! He won the battle.
, after he has made meritorious deeds, he can blatantly, uh, wrong, he explicitly asked the Hu people to donate the Hu girl he likes to sleep with!
As for losing?
How could it be possible to lose!
He had already heard clearly that there was no permanent army of hussars to the west, only some small military strongholds and sentry posts. If they looked at the large number of horses and horses, they would only send a beacon or something, and they would not dare to come out to fight.
!
If the dozen or twenty people in those small sentry posts dare to come out, then they will be dealt with together. I wonder if they will get any more merit!
Xiahou Zijiang didn't have the guts to fight against the hussar general, but there was no problem at all in fighting a few hussar soldiers. Otherwise, wouldn't he be unworthy of the title of Xiahou?!
This is simply a win-win, no, it’s a win-win for all, even if the chickens win, why don’t they?
