Wei Ni

It doesn’t matter whether you are dissatisfied or angry, but the premise of everything is to do your job well in order to avoid being slandered by others.

Xia Houhui, who sent away the three cavalry units including Baima Yicong, of course also knew that if the sneak attack on Macheng failed, his behavior would be considered as disrespecting the general's order.

In order to avoid giving others a thumb, he also gave up his original intention of opening a second battlefield in the Yangshui Basin.

When planning a sneak attack, no matter how much the gains are, no matter how much the morale of the Mobei knights is weakened, it is enough to lead the cavalry to charge and kill for a while to complete the strategic intention formulated by Qin Lang.

This is also impossible.

Those who fail in the war may not necessarily be held accountable, but those who fail in the war because of disobedience to military orders will be beheaded in public.

If Qin Lang had him beheaded in accordance with military law, Emperor Cao Rui would not say anything.

He couldn't risk his life just because he was angry.

However, even if you lose your ambition for success and just plan to complete your duties in a small way, you still need to be cautious where you should be cautious.

He dispatched all the more than a hundred scouts selected from the Youzhou Cavalry immediately.

And stipulate that they allocate their own spying ranges.

He only asked that there should be at least one scout every thirty miles on the road from here to Ma City, and that he would never encounter a Xianbei herdsman on the route he led his horse to.

Another thing to do was to gather all the generals with more than a hundred generals together after the tiger and leopard cavalry and the hussar battalion had recovered from the fatigue of traveling all night.

It is not intended to be a mass military discussion.

Instead, he explained the reasons why Baima Yicong and other three cavalry were sent away by him, and how to boost their morale.

After all, the initial plan of [-] cavalry for a sneak attack turned into only [-] cavalry. Moreover, Ma City was a strange place that none of them had ever set foot on, and Xia Houhui was worried that they would have negative emotions.

Especially since neither the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry nor the Hussar Battalion was affiliated with his headquarters, there was naturally no basis for mutual trust.

Therefore, he also took a trick when explaining.

After all the generals gathered, he first bluntly stated that only two of their cavalry were going to attack.

Then, without waiting for the surprised people to whisper or ask questions, he raised his voice again and said with emotion: "The tiger and leopard riders appointed by Emperor Wu are all the best in the world, or they can be supplemented by a hundred men. Since the formation of the army, from the conquest In Hebei, Yuan Tan was killed in the battle of Nanpi; he conquered Wuhuan in three counties in the north and captured the bandit chieftain Tadun; he pursued Liu Bei in Jingzhou at Changban, broke his horse and overran Han, and then defeated Han in the Wei River. Frightened by the name! However, it has been twenty years since the Battle of the Weishui River, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has been silent for twenty years. The world still knows whether the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is powerful! Since the death of Emperor Wu, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has still been Do you have the reputation to deter traitors and rebels?"

At this point, Xia Houhui stopped speaking.

His face was still full of excitement, but his heart was clear, and he carefully observed the expressions of the generals.

The seven hundred leopard cavalrymen standing at the front had red faces, heavy breathing, and their eyes became extremely fierce and unwilling.

It's for those who feel wronged.

The Tigers and Leopards gradually faded out of major battles and became unknown. It was not because they were no longer brave and good at fighting.

But in his later years, Wei Wu and Cao Cao were already focused on the matter of succeeding the Han Dynasty, and rarely led tigers and leopards to the battle. As for the successor Wei Wen Cao Pi, that is even less important.

Three expeditions to Jiangdong are just like outings and enjoying the river scenery.

As for the current emperor Cao Rui, they have completely become the emperor's personal soldiers, just like the officials who serve as the emperor's majesty when traveling.

Unable to fight, his prestige is gradually declining. It is really not the tiger and leopard cavalry who do not want to make progress.

But he couldn't say anything either.

There is no way to refute Xia Houhui's remarks, because that is the fact.

The general who was in charge of a thousand hussars battalion also had a serious expression on his face, his lips were pursed so tightly that his mustache and beard were almost connected together.

After the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry became a parent-child army, the Hussar Battalion expanded with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as the backbone. In a sense, it took over the responsibility of defeating the unconquered and making the world famous and feared.

However, since they were established, their reputation has not been prominent, and their achievements compared with their predecessors are like fluorescence to the bright moon.

This was the embarrassment of their hussar camp.Now Xiahou Hui's enumeration of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's past achievements is tantamount to claiming that they have nothing but appearances.

Likewise, he couldn't refute it.

So both of them were silent, quietly waiting for Xia Houhui's next words.

They who have been in Luoyang for a long time are not stupid.

It can also be guessed that at the moment before the battle, the general uttered such stimulating words, and then called on everyone to fight to the death and move forward bravely.

In fact, their prediction was correct.

After Xia Houhui saw their expressions, he also knew that the heat was coming.

Immediately, he said in a stern voice, "This is the reason why I sent Youzhou Cavalry, Xianbei Ranger Cavalry and Baima Yicong to Beiping! This time we sneak attack on Ma City, we and other elite soldiers from Luoyang can handle it alone ! The [-] Mobei Cavalry are our achievements that make the world famous! We will let everyone in the world know that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who have made great achievements in battle in the past are still the best in the world! The expansion of the Hu and Leopard Cavalry with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry The cavalry camp is like a tiger and wolf division with thousands of troops to conquer the disaster! In the past, the battle at Bailang Mountain eliminated Wuhuan's troubles; today's sneak attack on Ma City will destroy the courage of Xianbei!"

After finishing his words, he paused for a moment, then suddenly pulled out the Huanshou knife from his waist and raised it high.

"Those who do not want to follow me can go back to Beiping on their own; those who are willing to follow me to defeat the horse city and regain the power of the tiger and leopard cavalry, please draw your sword!"

choke!
choke!choke!
Suddenly, the sound of swords being drawn filled the room, accompanied by various roars.

"Swear to defeat Xianbei!"

"I am willing to follow the general and conquer Ma City!"

If everyone is willing to die, the next thing will be simple.

While the iron was hot, Xiahou Hui asked them to go back and order the cavalry, saying that they would prepare food at the fourth watch tonight and set off for Macheng at the fifth watch. He also emphasized that they must carefully check the status of the ordnance and horses, and go to their local camps. Receive two days of dry food from the food officer.

But after everyone bowed and left as instructed, the general in charge of the seven hundred leopard cavalry deliberately delayed for a moment.

When he and Xia Houhui were the only ones left in the military tent, he gave a respectful military salute and thanked him with some emotion in his voice, "General, you are willing to take the risk of disobeying the general's order and let me wait until the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has a chance to return." I will keep my past reputation in mind, and I will never disappoint the general. In this battle, the seven hundred leopard cavalry under my command will be the vanguard, and I will never ask for return until death!"

What? !

You look to be in your thirties, and you serve as a general in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Are you still so easy to fool?
I just changed the reason why I changed the order of General Qin Lang without authorization and expelled the three cavalry units including Baima Yicong. I changed the situation and changed it into the name. This was to make the Hubao Cavalry and the Hussar Battalion expanded with the Hubao Cavalry as the backbone famous, so that you It’s just an excuse to have a chance to prove yourself, build your merits again, and regain your past glory.

Why do you still say thank you solemnly?
It made me feel a little sorry for a while.
cough~
Xia Houhui, who felt a little dumb in his heart, kept his expression unchanged and silently looked at the Leopard Cavalry Commander for a while before he thought of his words.

"If you don't invite yourself, I will use the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as the vanguard to break the formation."

He said in a calm tone, "Also, let's not mention the words of thanks again. You tiger and leopard cavalry were like the soldiers of Emperor Wu at the beginning, and I was born in the Xiahou family of Qiao County. Well, time is running out, let's go back and supervise the soldiers. .”

"only!"

The Leopard Rider responded with a loud voice.

After leaving the military tent, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath before striding away.

His expression was very exciting and cheerful.

Because the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has always been a descendant of the Cao Wei clan.

For example, the earliest Cao Chun, and the later Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, when there was really no suitable candidate, Wei Wu and Cao Cao personally supervised them.

Therefore, when he came to Bingzhou to be under the leadership of Qin Lang, he was not very happy.

After all, although Qin Lang was admitted to the Wei clan, it was only for Qin Lang himself, and his descendants would not be admitted to the clan.Compared to the Xiahou family of Qiaojun, who had been married to the Cao family since their childhood and were as close as their hearts, there was still a fundamental difference in the eyes of Hubao Qi.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Qin Lang never thought of letting the tiger and leopard cavalry and the hussar battalion attack Macheng alone.

A fake child is a fake child after all.
