Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 14
After listening to Cao Ren tell the story of the last big defeat, Cao Ang said: "So, the second brother's defeat may sound unbelievable at first glance, but it is also understandable."

"Oh?"

"What do you mean by elder brother?" Cao Pi hurriedly asked.

In the past few days, Cao Pi can be said to be depressed. After thinking about it, he can't figure out how he lost.

In the words of the 21st century, I smoked three packs of cigarettes, trying to figure out how I lost.

"Second brother, the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry you lead are leopard cavalry. Leopard cavalry are light soldiers who are good at fighting. They have killed the enemy with arrows and sabers. From what you said, the enemy army is heavy armored infantry. Kill the enemy with a long knife. Its individual soldiers are burly, well-equipped and well-trained, no matter from all aspects, they will just happen to restrain the leopard cavalry."

"This Mo Dao soldier was originally used to restrain the cavalry, and the second brother faced the enemy head-on with the leopard cavalry, which is good at fighting. Wouldn't it be better to overcome the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings?"

"A person wearing heavy armor, even a burly man, will lose his strength if he fights for a long time. In my opinion, if he is meeting him, he can fight with a leopard first to exhaust his strength, and then face him head-on with a tiger. Enemy, so we will be victorious." Cao Ang Kaikai said.

Only from Cao Ren's narration, Cao Ang analyzed the advantages of Mo Dao Bing, and thought of a way to break Mo Dao Bing.It can be seen that this Cao Ang is not simple.

Cao Ang, as the eldest son of Cao Cao, can be described as an all-rounder in literature, martial arts and strategy.You know, Cao Ang was promoted to Xiaolian when he was a weak crown.Cao Pi is good at martial arts, while Cao Zhi is good at literature, and Cao Ang can be said to be a combination of two younger brothers.

This is why, when Cao Ang died in Wancheng because of Cao Cao.Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, turned against Cao Cao directly, because of the reason why she had no contact with her since she was old and dead.

Cao Ang's biological mother was Mrs. Liu, who died not long after giving birth to Cao Ang.In other words, Cao Ang is only Mrs. Ding's adopted son, because the adopted son fell out with Cao Cao, which shows how good Cao Ang is.

The selection of officials in the Han Dynasty used the inspection system, and this Xiaolian was probably the number one scholar in later generations.And Cao Ang was promoted to Xiaolian when he was a weak crown, which probably means that he became the champion when he was less than 20 years old.

It can be seen from this that Cao Ang is a very capable person. It can be said that if Cao Ang hadn't died in Wancheng, Cao Pi would have no chance of inheriting the Cao family's great cause.

Hearing Cao Ang's analysis, Cao Pi suddenly had a shameful thought in his heart.

"Brother, I still have [-] leopard cavalry under my command, lend me your [-] tiger cavalry. Tomorrow, I will definitely be able to defeat the Mo Dao soldiers."

"No." As soon as Cao Pi finished speaking, Cao Ang immediately refused.After pondering for a while, he said: "Father wants to achieve great things, he must need elite soldiers like Mo Dao Bing. According to General Cao Ren, half of the benefits of Mo Dao Bing are due to this equipment."

"It is far from enough to break the Mo Dao soldiers. We have to find a way to surround the Mo Dao soldiers. It is best to persuade them to surrender. If not, we must wipe them out, get their armor and weapons, and capture that Li Siye alive. In this way, my Cao family will Another elite soldier."

"Your Majesty's words are correct. The armor and equipment of this Mo Dao soldier is far superior to our tiger and leopard cavalry. It can be called a magic weapon in the world." Cao Ren nodded in agreement.

Cao Ren is one of the most famous generals in Cao's army, so his strength is naturally good.The armor and equipment of Mo Dao Bing, he could tell at a glance how sophisticated it was, it was far from what Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry could match.

The armor equipment of Mo Dao Bing was made with the most advanced craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty.This Tang Dynasty was more than 300 years later than the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty. This is 300 years of technological accumulation.From this point of view, the equipment of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry must not be comparable to that of the Mo Dao Bing.

"In this way, elder brother has a plan?" Cao Pi asked excitedly.

At this time, the Cao family brothers were still united. Among the two choices of breaking the shame of Mo Dao Bing and getting Mo Dao Bing, Cao Pi naturally chose the latter.

Although this can't wash away the shame for Cao Pi, and it must be Cao Ang who is in the limelight, it is beneficial to the entire Cao family.

The person who raises the problem is responsible for solving it.This is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Since Cao Ang dared to make this suggestion, he naturally had some immature ideas in his heart.

"In this way, the second brother will lead the troops to go to the city to play tricks tomorrow. You are the defeated general of Li Chen, the second brother, he will definitely not be afraid of you, and will definitely send people out of the city to fight."

"At that time, you will be defeated but not victorious. Pretend to be defeated and lure the Mo Dao soldiers to come and pursue them. At that time, I will set up an ambush here, and we will encircle back and forth. The Mo Dao soldiers must be in our pocket." Cao Ang said, pointing He pointed to the location five miles outside Xuzhou City on the map.

"Okay, I'll follow my elder brother's plan. If I can add an elite soldier to my Cao family, I, Cao Pi, will not hesitate to lose the last time, even ten times or a hundred times." Cao Pi answered with cupped hands.

In the early morning of the next day, the clouds were dense, and the "rumbling" thunder kept ringing. God seemed to be brewing a torrential rain.

"report"

With a loud cry, the scouts rushed into the Yunlong Hall, knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Cao Pi led [-] infantry to attack, and the vanguard has already moved three miles away."

As soon as the scout finished speaking, Chen Deng frowned and said, "Marshal Dian, looking at the current weather, I'm afraid the heavy rain will arrive in less than an hour. Attacking in rainy days is a taboo for marching. It's impossible for Cao Pi to be unaware. I'm afraid There is a conspiracy in this."

"Hmph, the soldiers are here to block the water and cover them with earth."

"It's just a defeated general, and you can still be afraid that he will fail."

"Notify the generals, let's go to the city wall to see what tricks Cao Pi is playing." Li Chen snorted coldly and smiled lightly.

Below the city of Xuzhou, dark clouds overwhelmed the top.

Not far from the city, a group of black-flag and black-armored soldiers were already waiting in battle, under the handsome flag was Li Chen's defeated general Cao Pi.

Just then.

"boom."

First flashes of lightning, then thunder.

"Crash."

The rain poured down.

Below the city of Xuzhou, bean-sized raindrops formed a rain curtain.

On the city wall of Xuzhou.

Li Chen stood on the city wall, behind him were Chen Deng, Li Siye and other civil and military officials.

"Li Chen, you are really shameless. You dare to call yourself handsome after occupying a small Xuzhou. You really are a pig with green onions in its nose, pretending to be an elephant."

Under the city, in the heavy rain.Cao Ren galloped his horse, uttering obscene words.

"Marshal, the last general invites you to fight, and he must kill Cao Ren and his horse." Li Siye looked at Cao Ren in the city viciously, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife, little Cao Ren, why do you need General Siye to take action, and the last general Guan Sheng invites you to fight." Guan Sheng cut the Yanyue knife in his hand, and his pair of Danfeng eyes were full of murderous intent.

As the saying goes, the master humiliated his ministers to death, how could the generals under Li Chen tolerate Cao Ren's nonsense.

"My lord, Cao's army is still fighting outside the city in such a heavy rain."

"This is to provoke the generals on purpose, I'm afraid there is a conspiracy." Chen Deng reminded from the side.

At this time, the generals under Li Chen's command were passionate, and it was hard for Chen Deng to say no to fighting.But as a counselor, he also had to remind Li Chen that there was probably a conspiracy in this situation.
