Chapter 649: The Problem of Lack of Horses in the Army
In addition, I want to ask, your daughter seems to be still in Xiapi, she doesn't matter, right? Cao Cao looked at Chen Jue, Chen Jue surrendered with Peng Chengguo, and let Chen Gong know that Chen Deng was only afraid that there would be trouble.
"With the power of my Chen family in Xiapi, Chen Gong doesn't dare to hurt my daughter! Besides, I had written to her five days ago, and I should have escaped by now, and I would be here in two days at most. Chen Qi replied very calmly.
Old Fox ...... Wang Yong only silently complained in his heart, the head of the Chen family in Xiapi is the master, and he is better than the two brothers Chen Yu and Chen Cong...... I don't know if those two existed......
"That's good, Peng Chengguo's side, I'll hand it over to you first, and wait until the conquest of Lu Bu is completed...... I hope you will go back to the court with me, and according to your merits, you should be an official in the court. Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Chen Qi.
"This is the honor of the lower officials." Chen Jue is very happy, there is no one who does not want to enter the Central Committee as an official. Let's just say that Zhu Jun gave up the real power of Jiaozhou Assassin Shi and returned directly to the court as a counselor.
"As for Ling Ai...... Cao Cao thought for a moment, "if we meet, you might as well help me ask." Is she planning to follow the text, or the martial arts. If you follow the text, I can give her the position of Guangling Taishou, and even in the future, she may not be able to become the assassin of Xuzhou. By the way, the imperial court is also discussing that in the future, the assassination history system will be reformed, the assassination history system will be abolished, and it will be changed to the prefect, which is the highest governor of a state. ”
The history of the assassination of the two Han Dynasty, the initial status was even under the county guard, until the end of the Han Dynasty, the full strength began to skyrocket, as if becoming the highest governor of a state, if promoted to the state pastor, it is in charge of the military and political power of a state, and has the power to recruit troops independently.
I see, it seems that more than is really thinking about the problem of the excessive power of the assassin...... Chen Qi immediately muttered in his heart. If you want to restrict it, then simply reform the system and promote the assassin to the prefect, anyway, the military and the government are separated...... That's a good idea.
"If you are a martial artist, then Xuzhou will establish the Xuzhou Legion, with Ling Ai's resume, it is also possible to serve as the deputy corps commander, accumulate a period of experience, and it may be good to be directly promoted to the corps commander at that time." Cao Cao gave Chen Qi a moment to think before continuing.
"Where, my daughter, although she knows the soldiers, she is not so good at it, an ordinary general can, if she is directly the deputy commander, she is not qualified yet." Chen Jue knew that this was Cao Cao's deliberate promotion of Chen Deng, but if he was modest, he still had to talk about it. Chen Deng is only thirty years old this year, and a thirty-year-old young woman, serving as the deputy commander of the corps, is also a little choking.
"With the current situation of today's big man, when you don't stick to one pattern and reuse talents, as long as you have talent, your resume can be slightly ignored." Cao Cao smiled, with Chen Jue's words, then there is still room for operation. Although she doesn't think that Chen Deng will transfer to the military position.
"If the little girl comes, I'll talk to him and see what she chooses." Chen Jue is not good at directly calling the shots for Chen Deng, and when her daughter is older, it is not her turn to take care of it.
Cao Cao didn't say much, stayed in Pengcheng for one night, and continued to set off the next day, all the way east.
"Lord, it's strange!" Seeing that he was about to enter the territory of Xiapi, Guo Jia stepped forward, "Wei Xu and Song Xian are just that, the army on Pengcheng's side, we hardly see ......"
"Lu Bu contracted his army, and it is estimated that he abandoned Pengcheng County and Guangling County, and mainly defended Donghai County and Xiapi County." Cao Cao was also aware of this problem, and then expressed his conjecture.
"At least 30,000 soldiers, deducting 10,000 in Donghai County, there are 20,000 soldiers active in this area in Xiapi County." Xu Shu added, "There is almost no steep terrain in Xiapi, and the cavalry is very advantageous in combat, so we have to guard against it." ”
"There will be a temptation in the short term...... That's why I transferred Cao Chun over. "Cao Cao is not surprised, in order to deal with the cavalry under Lu Bu's command, she has already transferred Cao Chun and the tiger and leopard cavalry under her command.
"We still lack a light cavalry, good at long-distance running." Guo Jia shook his head, the tiger and leopard cavalry is suitable for charging into battle, but it is definitely not suitable for fighting with the rangers under Lu Bu. Those guys are like wolves, wandering around, then finding the weakness of the prey, and then swarming up, the key is that there is a strong head wolf in this group of wolves!
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is very strong, because it is a heavy cavalry, suitable for charging into battle and scattering the enemy's infantry line, but it does not have strong durability and the ability to run and pursue.
"There is a shortage of horses in the Central Plains......" Cao Cao shook his head, there are not many horses left after the distribution of the horses that were finally obtained, although the horse farm is also planned to be built, but there is a lack of stallions.
The Qiang and Huns, even if they were their own, would not sell mares, at most they would not sell the kind of stallions that had been castrated. In fact, even so, many forces have limited funds and need to fight for a long time, so they have to be castrated when they buy them.
"If you have good endurance, you ......," Wang Yong suddenly said, "There are horses in the Dianchi area, and the trade routes of Bashu rely on Dian horses to transport goods to a large extent." Not only stamina, but also good at mountain walking, going up and down the mountains and forests...... The shortcomings are also obvious, limited by the terrain, so the steps are not very large, the flat speed is not fast, and the body is shorter......"
“………… This horse is useless! Cao Chun directly came out to oppose it.
"You can't say that!" Wang Yong replied, "If it can be domesticated, the second generation may be able to take a step forward and run faster without losing the advantage of mountain warfare." No matter how slow it is, at least it is faster than the infantry, it is rare to have amazing endurance, as a ranger, the scout is actually very good, if you can train into an archer cavalry......"
"I see, in this case, you can also consider ......" Cao Cao nodded and began to examine the Dian Malai.
"In addition, we may go south to Jiangnan, where there are many mountains and forests, and there are few flat rivers. This means that it is difficult for horses in general to walk, especially the heavily armored tigers and leopards, who have not yet run and have already fainted from the heat. Wang Yong looked at Cao Chun, who snorted and pinned his head to the side.
"Prepare for the attack on Jiangnan......" Cao Cao's brows tightened again, she really hadn't considered this situation.
"At the same time, it can also guarantee transportation by land!" Sima Yi drew inferences from one another, "Although the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, there are also many cities in inland areas, but due to the terrain, it is estimated that it is difficult to transport ordinary board cars, and at this time Dian Ma can solve this problem." ”
"I'll consider this issue, but even if we want to buy it, we need Liu Zhang's cooperation." Cao Cao sighed. Money can't buy it, that's the problem.
"It's really not good, how about sending Cai Yan to the Southern Huns and relatives?" Wang Yong proposed.
"She is still useful now, and I need to learn about the situation on Yuan Shao's side through her...... After that, when it comes to meritorious deeds, it is not good to send her to kiss. Cao Cao shook his head, I have to say that she was really moved in an instant just now.
“!!!!!” Yuan Shu, who was in the Huotou Army, suddenly shuddered, and always felt that someone was calculating him behind his back.
"General, a troop of rangers has been spotted ahead, led by a crimson horse!" In less than an hour, there were scouts coming in a hurry, and he didn't dare to see too clearly, after all, maybe after seeing clearly, he wouldn't be able to run away.
"Zihe, you and Wuwu go over and see the situation!" Cao Cao immediately ordered, "Crossbowmen form a formation, get ready to shoot!" ”
