Chapter 145 Bargaining
The war is about to start.
The combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary cavalry.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, more than 500 of the enemy's 2,000 cavalry were killed.
A quarter of an hour later.
The enemy cavalry was defeated and fled.
Of the two thousand cavalrymen, nearly fifteen hundred were killed by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
If the remaining 500 cavalrymen had not run fast, they would have been killed here.
See the cavalry threat has been eliminated.
Cao Chun immediately sent people to put out the fire behind the army.
After one stick of incense.
Cao Chun rode his horse to Cao Pi.
Cao Pi hurried over to hold Cao Chun's horse, while speaking flattering words.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are truly invincible!"
At this point, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Cao Pi's eyes.
Although Cao Cao lent him the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
In theory, this team has to listen to me during this period.
But in fact, the command of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has always been in the hands of Cao Chun.
Cao Chun was Cao Pi's elder.
He is also Cao Cao's absolute confidant.
Therefore, if Cao Pi wanted to use the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
You must be humble and submissive in front of Cao Chun.
This undoubtedly made Cao Pi very angry.
Cao Pi was arrogant and looked down on others.
In the entire Cao Group.
Cao Pi refused to submit to anyone except Cao Cao.
But now, in order to gain Cao Chun's support, Cao Pi had to shamelessly chase Cao Chun and call him uncle, which made Cao Pi very unhappy.
"Gan, for the sake of the position of heir, I have to endure it!"
Cao Pi secretly encouraged himself in his heart.
……
Opposite Cao Pi.
Cao Chun had no idea what Cao Pi was thinking.
Seeing Cao Pi so enthusiastic about him at this moment.
Cao Chun thought about it and said:
"You know the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they're the elite troops your father selected from among hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The soldiers have wine and meat three times a day, and the horses get the best soybeans and hay every day!"
"Now that the food and fodder have been burned, the soldiers can survive for two or three days, but the horses can't. Without concentrated feed, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's horses will become the same as ordinary horses. By then, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"
"The combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will be greatly reduced!!!"
When Cao Pi heard Cao Chun's words, he was stunned.
The reason why he was so attentive to Cao Chun just now.
The main reason was that he wanted Cao Chun to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to defeat everything for him.
But now Cao Chun told himself that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had lost their combat effectiveness?
What do you mean? Are you teasing me on purpose?
Disappointed, Cao Pi turned and left.
Seeing that he hadn't finished speaking, Cao Pi left immediately.
Watching Cao Pi's figure walking away.
Cao Chun opened his mouth several times, but finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.
……
After leaving Cao Chun.
Cao Pi found Xun You.
Thinking of asking Xun You for some advice.
But before Cao Pi could speak, Xun You said directly:
"I will find a way to solve the food problem, but I can't say for sure when the new food will arrive. It may take half a month, or even a month!"
"Until the food arrives, Second Young Master, you need to plan what the army will eat. Furthermore, protecting the food is a major issue. If the food is burned again, the army will be in chaos. Even without Yuan Tan's intervention, our army will be defeated!"
"this--"
Cao Pi was completely dumbfounded when he saw Xun You throwing a series of questions at him as soon as they met.
The reason why I came to Xun You was to seek a solution from him.
Now, before I even opened my mouth, Xun You had already thrown a bunch of questions at me.
Who is the military advisor between the two of us?
Although I was dissatisfied.
But Xun You’s identity is there after all.
Just when Cao Pi was thinking about how to organize his language.
But Xun You said seriously:
"Second Young Master, in Sikong's eyes, no matter who we send to attack Qingzhou, we will win in the end!
The reason I sent you here is to test your ability to lead troops and fight!
If you want to become a versatile talent, you must rely on yourself in this battle!"
Before Cao Pi could finish his words, Xun You blocked his retreat.
Hearing Xun You say this, Cao Pi was stunned.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is not strong enough, and the military advisor is also giving up?
How should I fight next? Should I use the top of my head?
Seeing Xun You said this.
Cao Pi no longer bored himself.
After bowing, he left.
See Cao Pi's lost back.
Xun You couldn't help but sneer.
At this point, he became even more determined.
The target of Cao Cao's sword this time was the Sima family.
Since Cao Cao has set a trap for the Sima family.
Of course I wouldn't be stupid enough to get involved in that.
……
Cao Pi was very unhappy after being repeatedly humiliated by Cao Chun and Xun You.
Just then, Sima Lang came to Cao Pi.
"Boda!"
Seeing Sima Lang appear in front of him at this time.
Cao Pi was like a drowning man grasping at straws.
His face was full of excitement and dependence.
"Yes, I still have Boda, and I still have the entire Sima family!"
Thinking of this, Cao Pi immediately told Sima Lang about Cao Chun and Xun You's concerns.
"Second Young Master, these are not problems!"
After a moment, Sima Lang sneered.
"The most important thing right now is not the question that Military Advisor Xun and the others just raised, but that someone must be held accountable for the attack!"
"Is someone going to be held accountable for the attack just now?"
Cao Pi was confused and didn't understand what Sima Lang meant.
"Yes, someone must be held accountable for the attack just now!"
Sima Lang reiterated again.
As he spoke, Sima Lang expressed his concerns.
That is, this expedition to Qingzhou.
The main purpose was to make Cao Pi famous and establish his prestige, and the secondary purpose was to defeat Yuan Tan and recapture Qingzhou.
Therefore, in this expedition.
Cao Pi's image must be wise, brave, and well-planned.
Since Cao Pi has made every possible plan.
Then why was the army ambushed by the enemy just now?
Of course someone made a mistake...
In the end, Sima Lang revealed his true intentions.
"Second Young Master, just now, Xu Huang, Li Dian, and Zang Ba disobeyed military orders and rashly acted with their personal guards. The mistake was made by one of them!"
"I implore the Second Young Master to severely punish Xu Huang and Zang Ba to enforce military discipline and serve as a warning to others!"
"Punish Xu Huang and Zang Ba?"
Cao Pi hesitated.
Although he agreed with what Sima Lang had just said.
But now Cao Chun has gone down.
The only generals he could use to command the troops were Xu Huang and three others.
If Xu Huang and Zang Ba were punished again at this time.
If the enemy attacks again, who should I send to resist?
Cao Pi expressed his concerns.
Seeing Cao Pi say this, Sima Lang did not hesitate and immediately changed his words:
"In that case, then only Zang Ba will be punished!"
Cao Pi was deeply touched to see Sima Lang change his words immediately because of his concern.
Originally, he wanted to say that it would be best not to punish anyone.
But now, Sima Lang took the initiative to make concessions.
Cao Pi had no choice but to return the favor.
Support Sima Lang's proposal to punish Zang Ba.
Seeing that Cao Pi finally agreed to his suggestion.
A smile of success appeared on Sima Lang's face.
In fact, Sima Lang wanted to punish Zang Ba alone at the beginning.
The reason why Xu Huang was brought along as well.
It was just to bargain with Cao Pi.
