Chapter 210: Learn to ride a horse
"Oh?" Cao Ying's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Zhao Yun, who had always been very low-key beside Guo Jia.
When ordinary people see Zhao Yun, they will be deceived by his beautiful and slightly young and immature face, and subconsciously think that this should be a silver-like pewter head that is useless.
Of course, this is not to deny Zhao Yun's talent, as I have said before, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the phenomenon of judging people by appearance was very common. However, when I see Zhao Yun's appearance, I usually think of a handsome person like Yuan Shao or Zhou Yu later, and I definitely don't see Zhao Yun as a fierce general like Dian Wei.
Originally, Cao Ying thought that Dian Wei and Zhao Yun were by Guo Jia's side, representing one article and one martial arts. Didn't expect him to be wrong again?!
After looking at Zhao Yun carefully, Cao Ying suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Dian Wei is obviously the kind of character who is more than brave but not enough strategic, so Cao Ying will arrange for Dian Wei to be a lieutenant in front of the account; can look at Zhao Yun's posture and bearing, it should obviously be the commander type.
Of course, Cao Ying will not judge a person's ability based on his appearance alone, but as a commander's talent, he can't do it by wrestling. It just so happened that this time Cao Ying also planned to give Xiahoudun a punishment, so he could take the opportunity to test Zhao Yun's ability as a commander!
So Cao Ying immediately made a decision and made an arrangement that was even more surprising than just now, first of all, because of dereliction of duty, the situation was bad, and the impact was serious, and he was directly demoted to one level.
This doesn't make me feel that there is any problem, after all, this incident is not a big deal at all, and the punishment of being demoted by one level is not too big a punishment for people like Xiahoudun, it is just a "roll call reminder". Just like Guo Jia's punishment of Ming'er's little maid at the beginning, if the guilt is increased by one degree, then the guilt will be reduced by one degree. If Xiahoudun wants to rise again, it is still very easy.
Then, Cao Ying's arrangement was surprising. It turned out that Cao Ying actually asked Xiahou Dun to go home and be grounded for reflection, and during this time, the training plan of the soldiers in the camp was temporarily represented by Zhao Yun!
Seriously, if Xiahoudun is not Cao Ying's own brother, if Zhao Yun is not an outsider, Xiahoudun will probably feel that Cao Ying is not taking away his military power at this time! The so-called agent agent, this generation, often ends up being positive. Under normal circumstances, this is a tactful way to take back military power!
"Okay, this punishment is to give you a long surname, you have to give me a good reflection when you go back, if you are still like this in the future, how dare I make you worthy of a big responsibility?!" After Cao Ying made the arrangements, he said this to Xiahoudun, obviously to appease Xiahoudun's heart and ask Xiahoudun not to think too much.
At this time, everyone also understood that Cao Ying did not directly let Zhao Yun lead the troops like he did with Dian Wei before. Cao Ying wanted to test Zhao Yun's ability first. Although it seems that Zhao Yun's treatment is a little inferior to Dian Wei, if Zhao Yun is angry, the future development will obviously be above Dian Wei!
Chen Gong's face sank slightly, at this moment, because of the help of Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, Guo Jia's status in Cao Ying has skyrocketed, and it can be said that he has caught up with or even surpassed Chen Gong and other veteran figures!
"But today, you are still in charge of Xiahoudun here, and you must have a beginning and an end to do things. Zhao Yun can take a look on the side, if you don't understand, just ask, you are still young and have great potential, you will be personally appointed tomorrow, and no one will be able to help you at that time, everything depends on you! Cao Ying said.
"Yes, my lord!" Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun answered at the same time.
At this time, Guo Jia obviously found that Zhao Yun, who had always been indifferent, was a little excited. Cao Ying's wrist is really unusual, especially for a very confident person like Zhao Yun, such a test method will definitely make Zhao Yun's blood boil, and he wants to perform well, and gradually let the world know his name Zhao Yun!
Not only Zhao Yun, but also Xun Yu's uncle and nephew were obviously a little moved by Cao Ying's style. Cao Ying does things in an eclectic way, and Cao Ying really likes talents, so he will give people this opportunity to perform. Cao Ying attaches great importance to talents, and after judging each person's ability, advantages and disadvantages, he decides the way to use talents according to the characteristics of each person's talents. Unlike Yuan Shao, he is kind to people and courteous to people, as if he is attaching importance to talents, so he said that Yuan Shao will not use people
After Cao Ying dealt with all this, it is estimated that everyone has already gained something on this trip, and then he began to come to the camp for the original purpose - to teach Guo Jia to learn to ride a horse.
Some people may think that riding a horse is a very simple thing, and this is not for you to tame wild horses, these horses that can be ridden are very obedient. Miss by a mile! In modern times, Guo Jia has not ridden a horse, but the so-called horseback riding, to put it bluntly, is just "sitting on a horse", which is the means of Tang Seng Du. Didn't Guo Jia also sit all the way from Xiangyang to Luoyang!
When the horse is trotting, it is already difficult to make it turn, and as for running quickly, not to mention how to turn, not to mention how to stop safely, even if you can not fall off the horse, it is already quite good.
And don't forget, Guo Jia is going to be a military advisor, he is going to go to the battlefield, and when he encounters an emergency, he will often take some roads that are in very bad condition and are not even roads, and between killings, the horse under the crotch is still very frightened. If you don't have enough control, you can only grab the horse's neck and let the horse run around.
Therefore, how to make a horse running at high speed stop smoothly, how to calm a frightened horse quickly, this is what Guo Jia really needs to learn and master.
At the beginning, after Cao Ying explained some precautions to Guo Jia in detail, Guo Jia began to explore it by himself, after all, this kind of thing, practice makes perfect. Then Cao Ying and the others couldn't be bored and guard Guo Jia all the time, so they rode a horse directly, took Xun Yu and the others, and went to other places to shop.
Only Xi Zhicai stayed alone, Guo Jia didn't ask much, thinking that it was probably because of physical reasons. Even if Xi Zhicai himself can ride a horse, but with his weak body, he will definitely not dare to mess around.
Then, Guo Jia discovered something that made him quite depressed. That's this drama Zhicai, as if on purpose, always riding a horse around Guo Jia, although he didn't say anything, and he didn't do anything, but that expression, that demeanor, Guo Jia understands better than anyone!
When he was still in modern times, Guo Jia belonged to the kind of existence with simple limbs. Guo Jia will never forget that when he was five years old, he couldn't learn to ride a bicycle, and his playmate rode around him in circles!
Guo Jia will never forget that when he was nine years old, he couldn't learn to skate, and his playmate skated around him on the ice next to him!
Guo Jia will never forget that when he was seventeen years old, he couldn't learn to drive, and his playmate drove his girlfriend around him in a car!
Guo Jia will never forget it no matter what......
