?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 is at least a decent cavalry general, and he still has 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? What''s so strange and worth saying? Then there are indispensable jabberings about wasting people, wasting money, and going to war.
For the children of Shandong gentry, what they are interested in always ranks first in Shandong, followed by other places, and even Guanzhong ranks 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 cannot see them, there is no problem.
However, it is different for Cao Chun...
?In addition to the issue of speed, as a cavalry general, Cao Chun knew that it would take a blink of an eye to assemble a dozen or twenty cavalry, but as the number of people increased, the assembly time would also lengthen. The more people there are, the more problems there are, and the military supplies that need to be prepared are even more complicated. Sometimes a month or two is enough to assemble the army, but a few months is common!
How can the hussar be able to set off as soon as they are assembled?
How is this done?
??The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Cao Chun became, so he took the cavalry with him 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 his men and horses to run forward, while Xiahou Shang followed the old rules and took some people behind to look after the logistics supplies. Cao Chun was worried about Xia Houshang''s leadership ability, but there was no good candidate, so he could only do this.
Cao Chun felt that now that the enemy was facing a formidable enemy and the pressure from the outside world was so great, no matter how stupid Xia Houshang was, he would not be able to do evil in secret, so he focused all his energy on how to bring his The subordinates and the recruited Hu cavalry achieved 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 were inevitably some second generations who would hang out in the army and then put some money on their faces. This was 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 and handle it yourself.
?But the question is, is Xiahou Shang’s ability to lead the 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. Moreover, the vast majority of the Cao family and the Xiahou family also follow this strategy, but the problem is There are always some people who think that 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 Zang after Xiahou Zang died? !
Why?
He doesn’t want to!
This is against his will!
Why?
Why doesn’t anyone want to hear what he wants?
He just wants freedom, just freedom. Can’t such a small request satisfy him?
??After Xiahou Zijiang vented his anger for a while, his head started to spin, and he was ready to change his words...
氰子 means love, and **** means career. 氰子 plus **** means authority!
Since no one likes to talk about **** and buttocks, what about love, career and power?
Xiahou Zijiang is ready to give it a try.
『At least half of the foundation now belongs to our Xiahou family! From the Xiahou family! It’s not that Cao who can cover the sky with one hand! You Xia Houshang! His surname is Xiahou! Not Cao! You''re going to lick Mr. Cao''s croup, but don''t take me with you! I am from the Xiahou family! Xiahou Zijiang roared angrily, "It''s not the Xiahou family''s problem that Youbei is beaten like this, 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, "Cao 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 and worked for us today, then these Huqi will also work for other people''s money and work for other people in the future! 』
I have to say that in chaotic times, young men are always forced to grow up quickly. Although Xiahou Zijiang has a **** personality, what he said makes some sense. As the current situation becomes more and more chaotic, loyalty becomes more and more scarce, and people who are disloyal will always have a low evaluation.
Will these Huqi really listen to us? That''s fart! Xiahou Zijiang waved his arms and shouted loudly, "They are looking at us like fools!" They just want to make some money off of us! So 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, right?” ” Xiahou Zijiang waved his arms and strengthened his tone, “From the Xiahou family! Not Cao! I know you two are in trouble, but everyone here is Xiahou! Xiahou! The quarrel between me and General Boren was not because of anyone else, but because of Xiahou! For the reputation of the Xiahou family! 』
Xiahou Shang’s bodyguard could not help but be stunned for a moment.
How does this have anything to do with the reputation of the Xiahou family?
Everyone looked at Xiahou Zijiang.
Xiahou Zijiang slowly circled 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!" I have to say that the Hussars traveled across the north and south, attacked the Xiongnu, and defeated the Xianbei. Even if we talk about the rights and wrongs behind their backs, we have to say that the Hussars are indeed powerful! This is not to increase the ambition of others and destroy our own prestige, but we must see the gap! Only by acknowledging the gap can progress be made! 』
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 has such a large foundation now. Even if Cao Pi takes over in the future, the various uncles and uncles will naturally 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?
Where are 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 fundamental!" My father officially relied on his superior achievements to gain a foothold under the Cao family and achieve his current status! But this time we are practicing in Beishang, what are we Xiahou doing? Um? What are you doing? Cleaning the boots of Cao''s children! Send horse feed! Is this what we, the descendants of the Xiahou clan, should do? What kind of merit can you get by doing these things? Um? ! Is it possible that when 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 Xiahou''s prestige, 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. Already? Anyway, we can only clean boots and provide fodder, so we can spend our whole lives cleaning boots and providing fodder! ” Xiahou Zijiang stared, with great momentum, “You think about it for yourselves!” Use the only brains you have to think about it! When that time comes, how will we, the Xiahou family, deal with ourselves? ! This is Cao''s conspiracy! Conspiracy! They want us, Xiahou, to obey their orders for the rest of our lives, and even for the next life! Father, they have built such a great legacy and cannot let it be ruined in our hands! I want to lead people to attack! He just refused to die! Just because of this, Xiahou Boren and I had a quarrel, but he didn''t believe it or listen! Now I ask you, am I right or wrong? ! 』
Well?
It’s not for Nai Zi? This made Xiahou Shang''s guards quite surprised and doubtful.
Xiahou Zijiang even burst into tears when he talked about the emotional parts, "You are all members of the Xiahou family. We are all prosperous and devastated. How can we not understand this truth?" I beg you all to accompany me in this fight. Isn’t it true that we will be rich and powerful together in the future? That’s all, you might as well think about it carefully! 』
Everyone present could not 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 that everyone was 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 us Xiahou family members!" You have been staying in Youbei for quite some time. Anyone who is not blind can see Cao Zihe''s attitude toward us! Think about it carefully, if in the future, Xiahou clan loses military power... No, no, let me be more clear, if in the future, Xiahou family loses cavalry power... Haha, what will happen to you, you might as well think about it! Now that you have the opportunity, why not fight for it more! But General Boren refused! You think, who is right and who is wrong? ! 』
Xiahou Zijiang said something so heart-wrenching that everyone present was moved.
??These Xiahou''s children on the battlefield are naturally linked to the word Xiahou in honor and disgrace. In addition, the Xiahou family of the Cao family started their career in the military, so they understand the importance of military power. Now that Cao Cao is the prime minister, there is naturally an undercurrent surging among the Cao family and the Xiahou family. They are all vying for their own three-acre land. Basically, the whole family is no longer united as one when they first raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo. atmosphere.
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. They secretly want to catch each other''s mistakes and kill each other. 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. Sex is self-explanatory. 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?
?This continues to make up my mind...
The Xiahou family is unlucky. It is these Xiahou children who are unlucky. The Xiahou children are unlucky. Pai, 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''s the traitor, huh? Who is the traitor to the Xiahou clan? ! 』
??The two guards sent by Xiahou Shang to monitor Xiahou Zijiang suddenly didn''t know what to say.
“Now, if you two think your general is right, then there is nothing more to say. If not...” Xiahou Zijiang shook his head, “Then I’ll give you two a hard time!” 』
『Master Shao Lang, what are you going to do? ” asked Xiahou Shang’s guard.
Xiahou Zijiang smiled and said, "Don''t worry, if you don''t do anything, I will leave the camp!" I am different from your generals. Xiahou wants to personally lead the army! That can be the Xiahou family! 』
Xiahou Shang''s guards looked at each other and hesitated, "Sorry, the order we received..."
『Then I can only give you two a hard time! Get it 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, but Xiahou Zijiang''s words made these people hesitate, so some of them were **** half-heartedly...
In the darkness, there were suddenly some footsteps coming 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!" 』
Sentinels at night are not a rare thing. After all, when the two sides are fighting, sometimes a team of sentinels will be sent out at intervals between day and night. But the problem is that we are not fighting now, we are just training. It is not impossible to be a sentry at night, but it is somewhat strange to let Xiahou Zijiang do the sentry in person.
The soldier on duty extended his hand without asking any further questions, "In that case, where is the token?" 』
Xiahou Zijiang led his men and walked forward to the soldiers on duty. Then he suddenly whistled, and someone rushed forward and grabbed the military school on duty. Someone else blocked the military school on duty''s throat, 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 descendants of the Xiahou family will take glory immediately!" What kind of hero is he hiding in the camp? If you are still a hero of our Xiahou clan, if you don’t want to stay here like a cow with your head down, if you don’t want to return to your hometown and become the laughing stock of your fellow clan members, and if you don’t want to follow someone to fight, at least keep your mouths shut! Who dares to tell General Cao at this moment that I don’t recognize people 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? 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. Feeling overwhelmed, he just stared blankly in the end, 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 galloped out of the camp 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 and find the barbarians over there to get the men and horses!" 』
"ah? ”Xiahou Zijiang’s guard was stunned.
『Aren’t you stupid? Xiahou Zijiang laughed and said, "Don''t you think that we alone can go to war?" Let''s gather some Hu soldiers and horses first, and then take these Hu men to find some tribe to fight! I want to spread the reputation of my Xiahou family! 』
Xiahou Zijiang had actually thought about it. He wanted to find the Hu people, just like he had just coerced the Yingmen Military Academy, let them command the troops and horses, follow him to the west, and find a scattered small tribe to fight! If he wins the battle and has meritorious service, he can blatantly, uh, wrong, he explicitly asks the Hu people to donate the Hu girl he likes to sleep with!
As for losing?
How can we 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 one looked at the large number of other troops, they would at most just 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 gain more merit!
Xiahou Zijiang didn''t have the guts to fight against a hussar general, but there was no problem at all in fighting a few hussar soldiers. Otherwise, wouldn''t it be a disgrace to the title of Xiahou? !
?This is simply a win-win, no, it’s a win-win for all, even if the chickens win, why not!
Xiahou Zijiang roared away with his people...
