Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 682: The origin of tiger and leopard riding

Cao Xiu dismissed: "It is said that after Yuan Shao was defeated and returned to Peking with the remnant defeated, he could not afford to be ill. The political affairs were entrusted to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, for fear that he would not dare to provoke the Liangzhou army."

"Hehe, you are wrong."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Yuan Shao is wide outside but jealous inside. Jai Xie must be reported. Moreover, the two armies will attack in a coordinated attack, and they will agree without accident."

"I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will hate Cheng for not trying his best to contain Liu Ye at the beginning."

"Um..." Cao Cao thought for a while, and said, "Didn't he have three sons? Even if the boy Yuan Shang is still young, just marry two women from the clan to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi."

In this way, Yuan and Cao's family became relatives, and they all came to the fore.

"Well, so I will arrange it."

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Okay, Zhongde, go."

After Cheng Yu retreated, Cao Xiu suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands, and the soldiers behind him immediately came up with a tray.

Cao Cao doubted: "Wen Lie, is this?"

"Prime Minister, this is what our army worked on the battlefield of the Battle of Yecheng, and it was hard to collect it."

Cao Xiu arched his hands, then took the wooden tray and presented it in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took a closer look and saw a "U"-shaped iron in the tray, and a few iron thorns.

"this is?"

"In the battle of Yecheng, Wuhuan and Yuan Shaojun totaled 100,000, while Liangzhou Army was less than half of Yuan Shaowuhuan's allied forces. According to intelligence. Liu Ye was able to win more with less because of the use of a new unit."

Cao Xiu said every word: "Armor, riding, gear, outfit."

"Armor and riding gear?"

Cao Cao murmured a few words, suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Could it be that when Xian Diping was optimistic about the military parade, the armor and equipment that marched like a wall?"

Cao Xiu solemnly said: "That's right. Originally, Wuhuan tens of thousands of cavalry galloped out, but Liu Ye suddenly gave an order and waved the flag. The platoon is invincible, like a sharp blade breaking a piece of meat, Wuhuan soldiers and Yuan Jun dare not take it."

"Liu Ye's armour and riding gear are mostly taken from the relics of the first emperor in Jinyongcheng, so the scale is very large."

Cao Cao sighed: "It's a pity, that's a thousand pairs of hardcover horse armor. The first emperor's power of the whole country has just been forged, and Liu Ye is in vain."

The Emperor of Han Ling was a famous and absurd monarch, indulging in pleasure, so he naturally needed a lot of money, so he tried every means to accumulate money in order to enrich his own money. Even "selling official porridge", the majesty of the imperial court, the important task of the local county guards directly marked the price, it is really a big issue in the world.

But even so, there are still many people who want to pool money or even borrow money to buy officials. Why? After they bought an official, they were able to join the search and scrape the ground three feet, and soon they could earn back the money from the official purchase, which was somewhat similar to the tax package system of the Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt.

Because the local people can be searched for, and there is oil and water to get, the price of the local county guard is even higher than that of San Gong, which shows that the Ling Emperor is not stupid.

However, with the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, after the arrest of Ma Yuanyi, the Lingdi panicked: The Yellow Turban thief is at his feet, is this okay? Therefore, when the three major generals of Lu Zhi, Huangfusong, and Zhu Jun went on the expedition, the Lingdi reluctantly gave out a reward for the soldiers. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was settled down, the Lingdi was still anxious, so he did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build ordnance, hoarding them in the Jinyong City around Luoyang City.

"Well, it is not easy to make horse armor, and it costs a lot." Cao Xiu also said with emotion.

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and determined to say: "Making horse armor is indeed not easy, but our army must build a cavalry in armor and riding equipment, otherwise how can we contend with Liu Ye's negative Yue army in the future?"

Cao Xiu said excitedly: "The prime minister's remarks are extremely true. As the saying goes, there is no danger. Our army will more or less build an armor and equipment."

"Well, isn't Zihe commanding a fine rider?"

Cao Cao's eyes turned around, and slowly said, "The surviving child and the screening officer are divided into two parts. The strong body is one, and the name is Tiger Cavalry. Build armor and riding equipment as soon as possible to supply, temporarily order Qingxu Erzhou craftsmen made two hundred pairs of horse armor, and more will be made in the future; the rest can practice riding and shooting, mainly light, named Leopard Riding."

Cao Xiu's eyes lit up: "The tiger is brave and mighty, the tiger roars in the mountains and the forest; the leopard, the light and agile, long-range raiding, the prime minister is vividly named."

Hearing the compliment from Cao Xiu, Cao Cao smiled and didn't take it seriously. In fact, he himself had high hopes for this unit, so he was slightly complacent.

"In that case, this unit is named Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

Cao Cao said to Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie, thanks to you reminding me that our army will not be left behind in the formation of armor and equipment. With its unprecedented impact, armor and equipment will be popular in the future."

Cao Cao's strategic vision can be described as far-reaching and unique. In the near future, the Wuhu alien race will sweep the Yellow River north and south like a whirlwind by relying on the powerful impact of armor and riding equipment.

Cao Xiu arched his hands and said, "The prime minister is too acclaimed, and Xiu is just doing some internal affairs."

Cao Cao smiled, and suddenly said, "Wen Lie, would you like to be the leader of the tiger rider?"

Tiger Knight?

Although the number of Tiger Cavalry is small, there may only be 200 people for the time being, and there may be less than a thousand people for a long time in the future, but this is an unparalleled armor and equipment, and Cao Jun must do his best to provide Tiger Cavalry, so Cao Xiu Suddenly became excited.

He bowed suddenly: "The ability to rest is not enough to be this great task."

Cao Cao laughed and helped him up.

"Wen Lie's talent, with a little experience, is enough to lead his own army and be on his own." Cao Cao said deeply.

Cao Xiu immediately understood the meaning of Cao Cao's words, and said with a fist: "Please rest assured, the prime minister, Xiu must study hard day and night in military books, and always ask the prime minister and uncle Xiao, Yuan Rang and uncle Miao Cai for advice to live up to the prime minister's high expectations."

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, then asked: "Look, who is the right leopard rider?"

Cao Xiuluo thought about it, and said, "How about Zidan?"

"Zidan? Well, he is a manufacturable, not bad."

Cao Cao's eyes showed appreciation: the Zidan in Cao Xiu's mouth refers to Cao Cao's adopted son, Cao Zhen, who is familiar with the art of war and is quite brave. Cao Cao has always been optimistic about him and believes that Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen will be the pillars of the Cao family in the future.

And more importantly, the nature of the tiger and leopard cavalry is similar to the family private soldier. The commander Cao Chun is the younger brother of the Cao Cao clan. The tiger cavalry leader Cao Xiu is also a member of the Cao clan. The leopard cavalry leader must also be the Cao family.

"Well, when the Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry are in the army, you and Zidan must practice harder."

Cao Cao exhorted: "No accident, there will be a battle between our army and Liu Ye sooner or later. The Liangzhou army has always been brave and there are many famous generals in the army. It must not be underestimated."
