I was planning to come back yesterday to catch up on the manuscript, but I drank some wine and felt a little dizzy.
In addition, I rushed back to my hometown of Zhengzhou early this morning, so...I won't say anything useless. Starting from tomorrow, watch my actions.
————————————————————————
The Huns used lambs that were about two years old, cut off their heads, and tied their hooves tightly to their esophagus. Some even soaked them in water or poured water into their stomachs. In this way, the sheep would become very
Tough and not easily torn.
When Han De talked about holding a sheep, he was very clear-cut.
He had lived in the northwest in his early years and had seen the Qiangdi people's method of holding sheep, so he was also very familiar with the Xiongnu's sheep holding conference.
When Cao Peng decided to join the war, he summoned Han De and asked Han De about the Huns' custom of holding sheep in their mouths.
Hande said: "The Huns held sheep in groups, and the number of participants ranged from dozens to hundreds. They were all warriors from various Xiongnu tribes. They also cooperated with each other in a very tacit understanding. There were
Some are responsible for charging the group to seize, some are responsible for covering, some are responsible for carrying people to escape, and some are responsible for chasing and blocking...Young Master, you should know that the Huns live on horses all year round, nomadic on the fortress, so they already have a tacit understanding with each other.
There are many things to pay attention to.
However, in addition to mutual cooperation, there is another extremely important requirement for holding sheep, and that is horses.
A good horse can do twice the result with half the effort.
The Huns have no shortage of good horses, but here... if Master Zhao Yebai is there, we may have a better chance of winning."
horses?
After hearing this, Cao Peng couldn't help but frown.
This is really a troublesome matter!
Horses are not produced in the Central Plains, and good BMW horses are hard to find. This time Cao Peng went to the fortress as an envoy. He initially wanted to do it secretly, so it was naturally impossible for him to bring Zhao Yebai with him. Now he wants to participate in the sheep hunting.
This horse became a big trouble. In ten days, he had to find a good horse and several cooperative partners.
"Xinzhi, can you catch a sheep?"
Han De was startled, then thought for a while and said: "When De was young, he participated in a Qiang people's game of sheep, but he was not particularly proficient in it. He just understood the rules."
"Then count you in!"
There was an unquestionable tone in Cao Peng's words.
Han De quickly bowed and clasped hands, "If you dare, I will die if I don't do it!"
To die?
That's not the case! But Han De knows the rules, which can at least give him a little more confidence. It's just that a single Han De is not enough, and more people need to be involved.
Cao Peng thought for a while and then said: "Xianghu and the others will contact you from today on. They can learn as much as they can. You just try your best to coach them. I estimate that among the guards, there are people who can ride better than them.
Not too much."
Xianghu is the flying horse cavalry.
This time when Cao Peng came to Shuofang, he only brought six Fei Qi with him.
Two of them died fighting to stop Leng Fei from assassinating Cao Peng when they were crossing the river. Now there are only four left.
"Sir, can I please let me look for the horse?"
Wang Shuang suddenly stood up and asked Cao Peng for help.
"You, Xunma?"
"If you don't have a good horse, I'm afraid you won't have much chance of winning. Our two ancestors are quite good at judging horses. In my generation, although I can't compare with my ancestors' magical abilities, they can be regarded as inherited. I have been training dogs before I was humble, so I don't have any
Opportunity. If you trust me, I will find a good horse for you. Even if it is not a good horse, it will be better than the current mount."
Cao Peng looked at Wang Shuang in surprise, but he didn't expect that Wang Shuang had such ability.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you to solve it."
Cao Peng asked Han De to fetch two dragon birds and gave them to Wang Shuang. At the same time, he also gave Wang Shuang a hundred gold to buy a horse.
The so-called emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers.
Cao Peng is not stingy either.
Two Dragon Birds were created by Cao Ji in his early years.
Compared with the weapons made by Cao Ji now, it is far behind; but compared with the standard dragon bird produced by Heyi Workshop, it is much higher. The Huns are not good at forging weapons, and a good knife is sometimes even worth thousands of gold.
.Since Wang Shuang is asked to buy horses, of course he must be given enough capital. And on the grassland, a sword is better than gold...
Wang Shuang found the dragon bird and gold and immediately left the military tent.
After Han De also said goodbye and left, Pang Tong, who had been silent at the side, suddenly spoke.
"Youxue, there's something weird about this."
"eccentric?"
"The Huns are negotiating with us, and Liu Bao's previous attitude was also very gentle. We have been here for ten days, and the Huns rarely come to provoke us. But this time, the Huns took the initiative to cause trouble and even caused trouble.
There were casualties. This seems a little different from Liu Bao's usual behavior. I think there must be something weird about this matter."
After Pang Tong finished speaking, he raised his head and stared at Cao Peng.
After Cao Peng pondered for a moment, "Shi Yuan's reminder seems to be a little strange."
"I think the Huns are deliberately provocative in order to force your friends to show up like you."
"oh?"
"The death of Tu Guilai must have been an accident. I'm afraid Liu Bao didn't expect that you would completely ignore it and kill his men. Other than that, everything seems to have been arranged. Our people
He was provoked in the market, resulting in death and injury; then Captain Gou stood up and sought justice. Then Tu Guilai asked people to come to the station to cause trouble... Did Youxue notice that Tu Guilai knew Zuo Xian
Wang Liubao was at the station, but instead of looking for Liu Bao, he called at his door... After that, Youxue ordered Han De to take action, and Liu Bao quickly arrived with his people.
Before that, Liu Bao had never shown up!
And the behavior of Marquis Linyi is also a bit unusual...I was just thinking, could this be a conspiracy?"
"Conspiracy? Shi Yuan means..."
"Someone is forcing you to stand up."
Cao Peng closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
After Pang Tong coughed slightly, he continued: "Xinzhi also said just now that the Xiongnu held sheep in groups, mostly in groups, gathering heroes from various tribes of the Xiongnu. It is extremely normal for there to be casualties when the sheep are taken in groups... so
If there are many people mixed together, you Xue may not be able to distinguish between friend and foe at all, and if someone is hurt by a hidden arrow, you will not be able to guard against it."
Cao Peng took a deep breath and tapped the long case with his fingers rapidly.
"So, Liu Bao wants to kill me?"
"Liu Bao may not dare to kill you, and he has no reason to kill you.
I think this matter has something to do with the Marquis of Linyi. I'm afraid that the Marquis of Linyi now regards you as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh... The previous failed assassination on the river has shown the Marquis of Linyi's determination to get rid of you. Although he didn't do it last time
Even if you succeed, you may not stop there. And you also know that the assassin who killed you last time may not be dead."
There is such an elusive assassin. When the sheep-catching convention begins, he blends into the crowd, and it is really hard to guard against him.
But Cao Peng also knew that Liu Guang had silenced him with his words today!
He doesn't want to participate in this sheep-catching conference, but he has to participate. He has no other choice.
"However, there is no need to be too nervous, Youxue." Pang Tong smiled, "In my opinion, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing.
Youxue, since you can take part in the sheep-catching, you will definitely attract Liu Bao’s attention.
Moreover, because of your participation, the Huns will definitely focus their attention on the Sheep Diao Conference, so..."
"Build the plank road openly and cross the Chen Cang secretly?"
Cao Peng found that the tacit understanding between him and Pang Tong seemed to be getting better and better.
It was often Pang Tong's words that hit his mark.
"Has Hongdu left already?"
"Well, I've already left."
"Shi Yuan, do you think...will Tan Zhe show up?"
"According to what Hongdu said, Tan Zhe... Hehe, he was unsuccessful in seeking help from Ke Bineng this time and was almost killed by Liu Bao. He will not swallow this bad breath. In my opinion, Tan Zhe must be
If he knows how to take action, he will never let go of this opportunity. Moreover, Tan Zhe's current situation is not very good. If he can get Cao Gong's help, how can he let it go so easily."
Cao Peng couldn't help laughing when he heard this!
