Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 153 If you want a horse, you will not give it to you!
"General, it's not easy to chase anymore, why don't we just go back like this? We have already lost more than [-] people!"

Zhang Liao's deputy came on horseback immediately, admonishing him profusely.

They have fought too many wars, large and small, over the years. Even when they retreated to Guangling, facing Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry chasing thousands of cavalry, they killed thousands of pursuers while fighting and retreating.

It can be described as a remarkable record.

Therefore, even if the army is defeated.

Zhang Liao's wolf cavalry and Gao Shun's trapped camp still maintained a very high fighting spirit, and they never showed signs of depression.

Even if they fight again, they are confident that they will kill many times the enemy's record, and they will not be afraid even if the entire army is wiped out.

But the person I met today, although unknown, has a young face, looks thin and has no sense of bravery, and has a fair complexion, he looks like some son who came to the army to make achievements.

But it can make the wolf rider break the halberd, and even more than [-] people rush in to kill its leader, and it actually allows him to escape the danger and kill a dozen more people.

In today's troubled times, there are really many heroes in the world, and there are mountains beyond mountains.

If you continue to chase, I don't know what the result will be.

"Chase!"

Zhang Liao was concise and to the point, he had his own reasons why he couldn't go back.

After saying this, he was the first to charge down, his speed almost drawing light and shadow, causing the people around him to chase after him. The surrounding mountains and forests are not too dense, so you can check if there is an ambush nearby at any time.

At this time, Zhang Liao just glanced at the forest, and immediately felt a strange and secret atmosphere, his face suddenly became solemn, his expression was serious, and he said to the left and right: "There may be an ambush in the forest."

"You guys need to be careful."

"This is a forest land, there will be no bows and arrows or infantry to hide, and the big shield is also unstoppable. The only place to ambush is the cavalry in the forest path and in the mountain depression. Therefore, the enemy wants to lead us into the forest. Then it is outflanking!"

While galloping his horse, Zhang Liao stood up and shouted.

Tell me the judgment in your heart, as well as your years of battlefield experience.

The deputy general by his side has followed him for many years, so of course he understands what he means.

The general intends to keep chasing and breaking the army.

I don't want to dare to go forward because I am worried about the ambush, and I lost more than three hundred horses in vain.

"Shoot in a long line, and divide into three lines at the entrance of the trail to ambush!"

"Here!"

After bypassing the first intersection, a cavalry force of about 200 soldiers was separated from Zhang Liao's army, and they hid their bodies in the mountains, ready to go.

In this way, at the past three intersections, each of them sent a small cavalry horse to wait for an ambush at the col, so as to monitor the left and right roads.

By this time, Zhang Liao had almost caught up with Zhao Yun and the others. After all, the former army was greedy and took two horses by their side. Running around with horses would be slow, and would want to change direction from time to time.

In addition, when Zhang Liao was chasing, people in the army kept calling with whistles, which made some of the horses keep wanting to turn around, so it took a lot of time to pull.

Sure enough, after catching up, ambush soldiers appeared from both sides, and another fierce general came out from the slanting stab, and directly rode his horse into the horse of the general beside Zhang Liao, beheading him with one blow.

At this time, Zhao Yun directly pulled the reins, raised the front hooves of the sitting white horse, twisted its waist on the horse's back, turned around and stabbed out.

It stabbed directly at Zhang Liao's face.

At this time, Zhang Liao dodged to the right, but the horse continued to castrate, and also bumped into Zhao Yun's horse.

All of a sudden, Zhang Liao's legs loosened, and his feet fell off the cloth stirrups and fell directly to the ground.

He immediately rolled around a few times, wiped it from his waist, took off the ring head knife, wrapped a white cloth around his wrist a few times, and got up immediately.

But the moment he stood up, he froze.

Zhao Yun actually fell down with the horse. He supported the ground with both hands, and the horse neighed and stood up again.

From start to finish, his feet never left the stirrups.

impossible! ?
In the whole world, who can have such foot strength? !
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, Zhao Yun shook his head, patted his horse and moved forward.

The figures of the two approached quickly.

Although the horse's speed was not fast, the figure was indeed gradually accelerating, and Zhao Yun raised the spear above his head with both hands.

Ready to condescend to stab, before the real move, even shook a gun flower.

This false move was used to lure Zhang Liao to block, but Zhang Liao's eyes were quite sharp, his face was serious and dignified, and he saw it very clearly, as if he had eagle eyes. took a step.

Bending up hard, ready to gain momentum.

Sure enough, Zhao Yun's next blow was when he really exerted his strength. The spear pierced like a dragon, and like a snake coming out of a hole, it pierced extremely fast like lightning. Cut it out, and knocked the spear crookedly.

Immediately afterwards, he stabbed forward, preparing to stab Zhao Yun off his horse.

But at this moment, a flash of white light flashed, and the whistling wind sounded in his ears. Qing Zhi directly cut off the Huan Shou Dao in Zhang Liao's hand. Not completely off the hook.

"Shut up!"

Zhao Yun shouted, pulled back the horse and swung his sword again, hovering in front of Zhang Liao, staring at him condescendingly.

Zhang Liao looked slightly to one side, and saw that the bright silver spear was stuck in the crack of the soil.

It was only at this moment that he realized in an instant that Zhao Yun just gave up the long spear and used the method of throwing to shoot, while he drew back and swung the sword with his left hand.

It seems that he has already seen through the move of the ring head knife.

This time, he was so proficient that it was as if he had been fighting against a master who was good at wielding the ring sword all day long. All the counter moves were already instinctive, and he could use them naturally when he was so proficient.

Bad luck.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Liao moved his mouth slightly, clicked his tongue, and raised his head to ask a question.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong."

"People from Jizhou?!"

Zhang Liao nodded secretly, "The north and south of the Yellow River have strong generals."

"The speed of the ring-shoulders under one step is too slow, and the intention is extremely easy to guess, so it's not considered superb." Zhao Yun said seriously, with a slight smile on his face.

Compared to Xu Zhen, he was indeed too slow. The strength and angle of the knife were not too subtle, and his posture was very obvious. He could see through it almost at a glance.

But Xu Zhen is different.

Zhao Yun clearly remembered that since he met Junhou, he has fought more than forty times up to now.

Visible progress can be felt every time.

Up to now, Junhou has been able to make no one notice any intention before the knife is drawn.

And as long as he makes his debut, he must go for the most difficult to detect. He can always come first, or directly take the lead in the battle. Every time it will give Zhao Yun a big headache, he needs to keep guessing, and even some You must be willing to gamble in order to take precautions in advance and take the initiative.

If it can't be prevented, it can only be forced to give in with danger all the time.

"Hmph, you won, so naturally everything you say is right!"

Zhang Liao immediately snorted dissatisfied.

"Although one's martial arts is not good, he can lead an army to charge, but it is as nimble and tough as a torrent, not as good as the white horse back then."

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that my cavalry has been out of battle for a long time, and I have no food to eat, how could I be in such a situation..."

"Huh? You are from Baima Yicong?" Zhang Liao suddenly looked up unexpectedly, because from Zhao Yun's words, he seemed to hear some reverence in the words.

I'm afraid even if it is not, it has something to do with Baima Yicong back then.

"That's right, it used to be a small school in Baima, but now it's under the command of Hou Shucheng."

"pity."

Zhang Liao's hands were weak, and he slumped on the ground.

He sighed lightly.

What he regrets is his undefeated performance, and now he may have to make a wedding dress for this young general.

Zhao Zilong.

A native of Changshan Kingdom in Jizhou.

This kind of people didn't go to Yuan Shao's command to become famous generals, but came to Jiujiang to follow Xu Zhen from a remote place.

Really weird.

The outcome of the battle here has been divided, while Xu Chu has surrounded all the chasing cavalry to stop the attack.

After winning the first battle, almost all Zhang Liao's soldiers were defeated and taken as prisoners.

Dozens of people were even left behind to report today's battle to Lu Bu.

……

Inside the barracks.

After Xu Zhen's military training, he and Dian Wei selected thirty warriors under the age of 25 with superb martial arts skills and strong physique in the guard camp.

Thirty of the best war horses were distributed to them.

Not only that, but they were also equipped with two war horses from the stables.

At this time, there was an uproar.

"Three horses per person?! And one of them still has a horse mask, right? Can the horse withstand such a heavy armor?"

"I didn't choose, I'm so lucky."

"Three horses?! This is equivalent to how much gold has been issued."

A horse, especially a war horse, is the treasure of a sergeant. From the time of distribution, it is estimated that it will be accompanied day and night and carefully raised. In the future, it will be a life-and-death comrade-in-arms on the battlefield.

Give three horses at once.

Will there really be so many war horses that can be distributed in the barracks in the future? !

"Your Majesty! Choose again, okay?"

"Silence!" Xu Zhen stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, scanning the crowd.

Gradually the voice quieted down, and everyone consciously lined up neatly. Thirty carefully selected armored cavalry stood in front of Xu Zhen, looking up, with expressions of not only surprise, but also reverence and emotion.

When the needle could be heard in the school grounds, Xu Zhencai continued: "In this battalion, armored cavalry will be formed, and an armored cavalry battalion will be established. Each person will be equipped with three horses, one for heavy armor and the other two for horses. Used for light cavalry and pack luggage, and dry food."

"The armored cavalry battalion in our army should be the elite selected from among the elite, and the next training should be even more arduous, so that in the future, we can make meritorious deeds repeatedly in wars, large and small, and even, in this history, leave a legacy." Down with your names."

"Any brother who can choose to enter the armored cavalry battalion, all salaries will be tripled!"

"Payment, three times."

"All the rewards, rewards, and property that are distributed are tripled."

After Xu Zhen said this, the entire school ground fell into silence. At this time, almost everyone in the guard camp was dumbfounded.

three times!
Some people have already begun to rejoice in their hearts.

But what more people are excited, looking forward to, and shocked is not the salary and rewards.

It's what Xu Zhen said - leaving a name in history!
A soldier who does not look forward to being a general is not a good soldier.

Everyone wants to leave a name in history, but how many people can really do it, their names will be recorded in the book, and the armored cavalry battalion will also become an elite cavalry that is remembered in history.

The people selected in this way, of course, they understand how excellent they are, and they are almost the crown of soldiers under Xu Zhen's command.

You can only enter the camp with the posture of a champion.

Such a heavy reward, coupled with the reputation of being remembered as an epic, made the people standing in the school grounds stare at Xu Zhen eagerly.

"Choose again?"

I don't know who it is, but I can't help but ask again.

It caused a lot of laughter from the surrounding peers.

Xu Zhen immediately waved his hand and said, "I want to choose, but I don't have enough horses."

Cross da da!
Outside the school grounds, a sentry came patted on horseback, raised dust all the way to the school grounds, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! General Zilong and General Zhongkang are back!"

Dian Wei immediately laughed loudly: "The horse is coming!"

He thumped down the stairs, waiting for Xu Zhen to follow. Immediately, the three thousand guards in the school grounds stood up straight, but it was difficult to look behind.

I just know that the two generals must have made meritorious service when they come back.

Xu Zhen was also beaming with joy. When he reached the door, he quickly passed Dian Wei, turned his head and said with a smile: "Look at that sentry cavalry, his face is crooked. It seems that Zilong will definitely win a big victory. He must have got a big horse." War horses!"

"Yes yes!! I think so too!"

Dian Wei also strode away.

……

a day later.

Cao Ren, who was supposed to be in Xuzhou, actually brought people to Jiujiang in person.

As soon as he entered Shouchun, he went straight to the government office where Xu Zhen was located.

In the main hall, Xu Zhen was discussing the internal affairs of the farmland sent by Hefei. Cao Ren was expressionless and burly, striding into the main hall, suddenly his face changed, and he laughed like a spring breeze, "Mr. Waiting!!"

"Brother Zixiao?"

Xu Zhen was immediately dumbfounded.

Immediately stood up from the futon, walked out from behind the desk, and came to Cao Ren to perform the salute and worship, but Cao Ren hugged his arms directly.

"I heard that you got rich?"

Xu Zhen's face darkened, and he immediately looked at Dian Wei, and shouted loudly: "That bastard beat me up?!"

Dian Wei's expression tightened immediately, and he glanced aside without saying a word.

This kind of thing can't be me.

Junhou, don't put any shit on my head, it's really difficult for me.

But forget it, bear with it.

In a person's life, everyone will eat shit, just don't chew it.

Cao Ren immediately laughed, and said, "Two thousand horses from Xiliang! They are all Lu Bu's elite teachers. I already knew."

"Bowen, congratulations to your guard battalion for achieving such great achievements."

"Brother, I am really happy for you from the bottom of my heart. Back then, when you were under my command, I could tell at a glance that you would become a great weapon in the future!"

Cao Ren took Xu Zhen's hand, and the intimacy was very strange.

When I smile, my muscles are tense, which is not natural at all.

It can be seen that he would never speak like this on weekdays.

"That's right, I specially reserved this guard camp for you, you won't forget it, right?"

Xu Zhen immediately looked up to the sky and closed his eyes slightly.

My goodness.

Cao Zixiao, just two thousand Xiliang horses will make you like this...

"If you don't want a horse, you won't give me a life. If my brother wants to find Lu Bu, I will go."

Xu Zhen also stood up straight, with a look of disgust on his face, all Confucian etiquette, spring breeze and elegance are basically completely forgotten at this moment.
