Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1229: Cao Jun Attacks Pi

Of course, this kind of consumption is huge. First of all, the horses used by heavy cavalry must be excellent horses. Otherwise, it will be difficult to bear such a large load. Secondly, the consumption of armor is also a considerable amount.

When Jinyang resumed business, Cao Cao secretly ordered people to go to Jinyang to buy excellent war horses, and he also bought a lot from other places.

Then Cao Ren was ordered to train a heavy cavalry force of 3,000, and the tiger and leopard cavalry, which were seriously damaged outside Huguan, were also supplemented. Under such a big move, it had a lot to do with the support of the aristocratic family.

It would be very difficult to do this only by relying on Yanzhou's current financial resources.

Although the consumption of 6,000 cavalry is huge, it is worth it in Cao Cao's view. In the future, he will definitely compete with Lu Bu on the battlefield. If there is a shortcoming in cavalry, it means that he will lose more things.

At this point, not only Cao Cao, but also other princes have similar actions. The battle outside Huguan has taught them a profound lesson. No one wants to suffer from the cavalry when facing Lu Bu on the future battlefield.

Of course, this kind of behavior of the princes brought about a rise in the price of war horses, and the one who made the most profit was Lu Bu. After taking control of the grassland where Xianbei was originally located, Lu Bu's background was not weaker than the princes of the Central Plains at this time.

On the grassland, although the army under Lu Bu paid a considerable price, the benefits they gained were obvious.

The feudal lords bought war horses wantonly, so naturally they didn't hide from Lu Bu's eyes, but now Bingzhou needed such merchants, and Lu Bu was not worried about how powerful the feudal lords would become if they had cavalry.

As long as Lu Bu is willing, he can have more cavalry under his command, and control the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Huns. These ethnic groups active on the grasslands are originally good at riding and shooting. The tribe mobilized cavalry to participate in the war.

The news of Cao's army soon spread to Langye. Zang Ba didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly led his soldiers to Xiapi. Xiapi has an important position in Xuzhou and is one of the richest counties in Xuzhou. After occupying Xiapi, it means Under his command can get greater development.

Half a month later, 40,000 Cao troops gathered in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao led the troops himself. This shows that Cao Cao attached great importance to the Xuzhou war. Among the 40,000 Cao troops, half of them were soldiers who had just been recruited into the army.

After Hua Xiong heard the news, he was not as relaxed as Chen Deng. The reason why he chose to join Cao Cao at the beginning was because he had a large army under his command and Xiapi as a support. However, after losing Xiapi, it means that he has become a subordinate of Cao Cao, and there is no room for resistance unless things turn around.

If Cao Cao didn't lead the troops, he would still be the master of Xiapi after the attack in the future.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao glanced around at the generals in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Although Zang Ba was the former captain of Xuzhou, his supporters are self-respecting, disobedient to orders, and have repeatedly invaded Xuzhou counties and counties. If it cannot be eradicated, how can the people of Xuzhou be stabilized."

Chen Deng came out and said, "Master, Zang Ba has 2,000 cavalrymen under his command, they are very elite."

Then Chen Deng will tell the situation of Zang Ba that he has found out.

After Cao Cao heard this, he turned his attention to Hua Xiong. The reason why he promised to let Hua Xiong lead the troops to garrison after he returned to Xiapi was because the Cao army had just experienced defeat at that time and did not attack Zang Ba. Now that he has personally arrived in Xuzhou, he will naturally not allow things like Zang Ba to happen again in Xuzhou.

From Hua Xiong's behavior, it can be seen that he is a generation who is unwilling to be inferior to others, and now he is temporarily dormant in Xuzhou because it is profitable. Unexpectedly, Zang Ba took advantage of this opportunity to capture Xiapi for the stability of Xuzhou.

"I don't know what General Hua thinks about this matter?" Cao Cao asked.

Hua Xiong didn't dare to be negligent when he heard the words, he came out and said: "My lord,

Now, although Zang Ba's soldiers are not weak, the lord has elite soldiers and fierce generals. Breaking Zang Ba is naturally a simple matter, and his subordinates are willing to be the front. "

Cao Cao nodded slightly. What he needed was Hua Xiong's attitude at this time. Hua Xiong was skilled in martial arts and had rich experience in leading cavalry. If he could get Hua Xiong's help, it would greatly improve the strength of the army. , and did not really recognize him as the master.

At this time, Hua Xiong has nowhere to go, and he seeks refuge with Zang Ba, what a proud and arrogant Hua Xiong is.

"Cao Ren, I ordered you to be the vanguard of the army and lead five thousand soldiers and horses first." Cao Cao ordered.

Cao Ren clasped his fists and said hello.

Hua Xiong looked a little disappointed. He originally thought that Cao Cao's sudden questioning of his opinion at such a time would make him lead the army to fight. Now he has only about 300 cavalry under his command, and his strength is greatly reduced. The matter of food and grass needs to be watched. Chen Deng's face acted.

"Hua Xiong, you assist Cao Ren, carefully scout out the situation on the battlefield along the way, without any omissions." Cao Cao said.

"Here." Hua Xiong showed excitement.

Three days later, Cao Ren led 5,000 soldiers and came towards Xiapi. Among the following troops, there were 1,000 heavy cavalry Cao Ren had just trained, and 500 tiger and leopard cavalry. Cao Ren knew the strength of the heavy cavalry. Yes, even if the enemy army has tens of thousands of infantry, a thousand heavy cavalry can easily defeat the enemy. This is the crushing brought by absolute strength.

When Hua Xiong saw the heavy cavalry in the vanguard army, his eyes lit up. The power of the heavy cavalry can be imagined just by seeing the costumes of these cavalry. Unexpectedly, it took less than a year for Cao Jun to have a heavy cavalry. cavalry.

"General Hua is in charge of the scouts in the army. Be careful of the scouts under Zang Ba's command. It is said that the scouts under Zang Ba's command are extremely powerful." Xiong was a general under Dong Zhuo's command. After betraying Dong Zhuo, he attached himself to Yuan Shu, then Liu Bei, and finally chose Cao Jun. In his eyes, he was a capricious person. Even though Hua Xiong was the deputy general of the vanguard army, Cao Ren did not pay enough attention to him.

Hua Xiong clasped his fists and said yes.

Seeing Cao Ren galloping away on his horse, Hua Xiong lost the respectful look on his face just now. He was the number one general under Dong Zhuo's command back then, but he didn't expect that after joining Cao Cao, he would act according to Cao Ren's face.

The news of Cao Jun's dispatch made the people in Xiapi panic. Cao Cao was no better than Chen Deng. Xuzhou was in crisis many times under the Cao Jun's offensive, although Cao Jun was more attacking Pengcheng.
