Cao Thief

Chapter 415
Yesterday I was going to come back to catch up on the manuscript, but I drank some wine and felt a little groggy.

In addition, I rushed back to my hometown Zhengzhou early this morning, so... I will stop talking about useless words, and start tomorrow, and watch my actions.

----------------------

The Xiongnu used lambs about two years old to pick up sheep. After cutting off the head and hooves, they tied the esophagus tightly, and some of them would soak in water or pour water into the belly of the sheep.In this way, the sheep will become very tough and will not be easily torn.

When Hande talked about picking up sheep, he was very eloquent.

He had lived in the Northwest in his early years and had seen the Qiang and Di people's method of carrying sheep, so he was very clear about the Xiongnu's gathering of sheep.

When Cao Peng decided to join the war, he called Hande and asked the Huns about the custom of carrying sheep.

Hande said: "Most of the Huns carried sheep in groups. The participants ranged from dozens to hundreds. They were all warriors from the various tribes of the Huns. And they cooperated with each other and cooperated very tacitly. Some Some are responsible for rushing and seizing the group, some are responsible for covering, some are responsible for carrying and fleeing, and some are responsible for chasing and blocking... You should know, the Huns live on horses all the year round and nomadic fortresses, so they have already established a tacit understanding with each other. The attention, but a lot.

However, in addition to mutual cooperation, there is another extremely important requirement for carrying sheep, and that is horses.

A good horse can do more with less.

The Huns have no shortage of good horses, but our side... if the young master is here at night, maybe the chances of winning will be better. "

horses?

After hearing this, Cao Peng couldn't help frowning.

What a hassle!

There are no horses in the Central Plains, and BMW horses are even more difficult to find.This time when Cao Peng went to the Fortress, he had the idea of ​​acting in secret at the beginning, so it was naturally impossible to bring Zhao Yebai with him.Now to participate in picking sheep, this horse has become a big trouble.In ten days, he had to find a good horse and a few partners to work with.

"Trust me, can you pick a sheep?"

Han De was stunned, thought for a while and said: "When De was young, he once participated in the Qiang people's sheep picking, but he was not particularly proficient, just understood the rules."

"That counts as you!"

In Cao Peng's words, there was an unquestionable tone.

Hande hurriedly bowed and put his hands together, "De dare to die!"

Death?

That's not the case!But Hande knows the rules, so he can at least have more confidence.Just a single Hande is not enough, more people are needed to participate.

Cao Peng thought for a while, and then said: "Xianghu and the others will contact you from today onwards, and you can learn as much as you can. You should try your best to tutor them. I estimate that among the guards, those who can ride better than them, Not too many."

Xianghu is the Flying Cavalry Army.

This time when Cao Peng came to Shuofang, he only brought six Feiyans with him.

Two of them died fighting to prevent Leng Fei from assassinating Cao Peng while crossing the river, and now there are only four left.

"My lord, can I let Humble find a horse?"

Wang Shuang suddenly stood up and pleaded with Cao Peng loudly.

"You, looking for a horse?"

"If you don't have a good horse, I'm afraid you won't have much chance of winning. My ancestors were quite good at horse hunting. In my generation, although they can't compare with my ancestors' supernatural powers, they can be regarded as inherited. I have been training dogs before I am humble, so there is no Opportunity. If you believe in me, I am willing to find a good horse for you. Even if it is not a BMW horse, it is better than the current mount."

Cao Peng looked at Wang Shuang in surprise, but he didn't expect that Wang Shuang still had such abilities.

"In this case, I will leave it to you to solve it."

Cao Peng asked Han De to fetch two dragon sparrows and handed them to Wang Shuang.At the same time, he also gave Wang Shuangbaijin to buy a horse.

The so-called emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

Cao Peng will not be stingy either.

The two dragon sparrows are the works of Cao Ji in his early years.

Compared with the weapons made by Cao Ji now, there is a huge gap; but compared with the standard dragonfinch produced by Heyi Workshop, it is much higher.The Huns are not good at forging weapons, and a good knife is sometimes worth thousands of gold.Since Wang Shuang was asked to buy horses, of course he had to be given enough capital.But on the grassland, a treasured sword is better than gold...

Wang Shuang got the dragon bird and gold, and immediately left the army tent.

After Han De also left, Pang Tong, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke.

"Youxue, this thing is weird."

"eccentric?"

"The Huns are negotiating with us, and Liu Bao's attitude before has been very gentle. We have been here for ten days, and the Huns rarely come to provoke us. But this time, the Huns took the initiative to make trouble and even caused This seems to be a bit different from Liu Bao's usual performance. I think this incident must be weird."

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he looked up at Cao Peng.

After Cao Peng pondered for a moment, "Shi Yuan's reminder seems to be a little weird."

"I think the Huns deliberately provoked them, in order to force their friends to show up like you."

"Oh?"

"The death of Tu Guilai must have been an accident. I'm afraid Liu Bao didn't expect that you would completely ignore and kill his subordinates. Other than that, everything seemed to be arranged. Our people Was provoked at the market, causing casualties; then Captain Gou stood up and demanded justice. Then Tu Guilai sent people to come to the place to make trouble...Have You Xue ever noticed that Tu Guilai clearly knew Zuo Xian Wang Liubao was at the station, but instead of looking for Liu Bao, he called at his door... Afterwards, You Xueyou ordered Han De to take action, and Liu Bao quickly arrived with his people.

Before that, Liu Bao hadn't shown up!
And the behavior of Marquis Linyi is also a bit unusual... I was wondering just now, could this be a conspiracy? "

"Conspiracy? Shi Yuan means..."

"Someone is forcing you to stand up."

Cao Peng closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After Pang Tong coughed lightly, he continued: "Xinzhi also said just now that the Xiongnu carried sheep, mostly in groups, and gathered heroes from various tribes of the Huns. It is very normal for casualties to occur in groups... so There are many people mixed together, and you will be unable to distinguish between friends and foes at that time, and if there are stabs in the back at that time, you will be hard to guard against."

Cao Peng gasped, and tapped the long case with his fingers.

"So, Liu Bao wants to kill me?"

"Liu Bao may not dare to kill you, and he has no reason to kill you.

I thought it had something to do with Marquis Linyi.I'm afraid that the Marquis of Linyi now regards you as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh... The unsuccessful assassination on the river before has shown the Marquis of Linyi's determination to get rid of you as soon as possible.Although he didn't succeed last time, he might not stop there.Moreover, you also know that the assassin who killed you last time may not be dead. "

There was such a mysterious assassin, and it was really hard to guard against him when he mixed into the crowd after the sheep picking meeting started.

But Cao Peng also knew that Liu Guang blocked him with words today!

He didn't participate in this meeting of picking sheep, but he had to participate, and he had no other choice.

"However, you don't need to be too nervous." Pang Tong smiled, "In my opinion, this matter may not be a bad thing.

Youxue, since you will participate in the sheep picking, you will definitely attract Liu Bao's attention.

Moreover, because of your participation, the Huns will definitely focus on the sheep gathering, so..."

"Cultivating plank roads in the open, crossing Chencang secretly?"

Cao Peng found that the tacit understanding between him and Pang Tong seemed to be getting better and better.

Often it was Pang Tong's words that hit his mind.

"Has Hongdu left already?"

"Well, already left."

"Shi Yuan, tell me... will Tan Zhe come forward?"

"According to what Hongdu said, Tan Zhe... hehe, he failed to seek help this time, and was almost killed by Liu Bao, so he will not swallow this bad breath. In my opinion, Tan Zhe must He will make a move, and he will never let go of this opportunity. Moreover, Tan Zhe's current situation is not very good. If he can get Cao Gong's help, how can he let it go easily."

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing when he heard this!
