Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 654 The lack of horses in the army

"Also, I want to ask, your daughter seems to be still in the Pi, is she okay?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Gui, Chen Gui surrendered with Pengcheng Kingdom, let Chen Gong know, Chen Deng is afraid that there will be trouble.

"Relying on my Chen family's influence in Xiapi, Chen Gong dare not hurt my daughter! Besides, I wrote to her five days ago, and I should have escaped by now, and I will come here in two days at most. "Chen Gui replied calmly.

Old fox... Wang Yong just complained silently in his heart, Xiapi Chen is the head of the family, better than the two brothers Chen Yu and Chen Cong... I don't know if those two people exist...

"That's good. I'll leave it to you for the Pengcheng Kingdom. After the conquest of Lu Bu is over... I hope you will come back to the court with me. According to your merits, you should be an official in the court." Cao Cao nodded, and then looked To Chen Gui.

"It's an honor to be an official." Chen Gui was very happy, no one wanted to be an official in the central government.Just say Zhu Jun, the governor of Jiaozhou who gave up his real power directly returned to the court as an admonishing doctor.

"As for Ling Ai..." Cao Cao thought for a while, "If we reunite, you might as well ask me. Is she planning to follow Wen or Wu. If she chooses Wen, I can give her the position of prefect of Guangling, and she may not even be able to become the prefect of Guangling in the future." Governor of Xuzhou. By the way, the imperial court is also discussing that the system of governors will be reformed in the future, and the system of governors will be abolished, and it will be changed to a magistrate, the highest official in a state."

The governor of the Han Dynasty was even under the county guard at the beginning. It was not until the end of the Han Dynasty that his full strength began to skyrocket. He seemed to become the highest governor of a state.

So, it seems that Chaochao is indeed thinking about the issue of the governor's excessive power... Chen Gui immediately began to think about it in his heart.If you want to restrict it, you can simply change the system and promote the governor to the magistrate. Anyway, the separation of military and government... This is a good idea.

"If you are a martial artist, Xuzhou will establish the Xuzhou Legion at that time. With your young lady's experience, it is also possible to serve as the deputy commander of the army. After accumulating a period of time, it may be good to be directly promoted to the commander of the army." Cao Cao gave Chen Gui a paragraph. After time to think, he continued.

"Where is that, my daughter, although she knows soldiers, she is not that good at it. An ordinary general is fine. If she is directly a deputy army commander, she probably won't be able to do it." Chen Gui knew that this was Cao Cao's intentional promotion of Chen Deng, but To be humble, I still have to say it.Chen Deng is only 30 years old this year, and a 30-year-old young woman is also a bit embarrassing to be the deputy army commander.

"With the current status of big men, we should use talents regardless of pattern. As long as they have talents, their resumes can be slightly ignored." Cao Cao smiled. With Chen Gui's words, there is still room for manipulation.Although she didn't think Chen Deng would switch to the military.

"If the little girl comes over, I'll tell him and see what she chooses." It's not easy for Chen Gui to make decisions directly for Chen Deng, and it's not her turn to take care of her daughter when she grows up.

Cao Cao didn't say much. He stayed in Pengcheng for one night, and then continued to set off the next day, all the way east.

"Master, why is it still Guangling County?" On the way, Wang Yong had to ask Cao Cao this question in a low voice.

"Han laws do not allow you to be an official in your hometown..." Cao Cao replied in a low voice, "I didn't realize it before, but now I understand why Chen Deng was appointed as the prefect of Guangling."

"So that's how it is..." Hearing this, Wang Yong suddenly nodded.

"My lord, it's very strange!" Seeing that he was about to enter Xiapi territory, Guo Jia stepped forward, "That's all for Wei Xu and Song Xian. We hardly saw any troops on the Pengcheng side..."

"Lv Bu shrunk his army, and probably gave up Pengcheng and Guangling counties, and mainly defended Donghai and Xiapi counties." Cao Cao was also aware of this problem, and then expressed his conjecture.

"At least [-] soldiers, [-] of which are deducted from Donghai County, and [-] soldiers are active in this area in Xiapi County." Xu Shu added, "There is almost no dangerous terrain in Xiapi, and cavalry operations are very beneficial. , we have to guard against it.”

"There will be a test in a short time...that's why I transferred Cao Chun here." Cao Cao was not surprised. In order to deal with Lu Bu's cavalry, she had already transferred Cao Chun and her tiger and leopard cavalry.

"We still lack a light cavalry, who are good at long-distance raids." Guo Jia shook his head. The tiger and leopard cavalry are suitable for charging, but they are definitely not suitable for fighting with the rangers under Lu Bu's command.Those guys are like wolves, wandering around, looking for the prey's weakness, and then swarming up. The key point is that there is a strong wolf in this pack of wolves!

The tiger and leopard cavalry are very strong, because they are heavy cavalry, suitable for charging and breaking up the enemy's infantry lineup, but they do not have strong durability and the ability to attack and chase.

"There is a shortage of horses in the Central Plains..." Cao Cao shook his head. The horses he managed to get were not much left after distribution. Although the racecourse was planned to be built, there was a shortage of stallions.

Those Qiang people and Huns, even if they were their own people, would not sell mares, at most they would not sell castrated stallions.In fact, even so, due to limited funds and the need for long-term battles, many forces have to be castrated after they are bought.

"A horse with good stamina..." Wang Yong suddenly mentioned, "There are horses around the Dianchi Lake, and the commercial roads in Bashu largely rely on Dian horses to transport goods. Not only is it stamina, but it is also good at walking in mountains, going up and down mountains and forests. The ... shortcomings are also obvious, limited by the terrain, so the steps will not be very large, the speed on the flat ground is not fast, and the body is relatively short..."

"...This horse is useless!" Cao Chun objected directly.

"You can't say that!" Wang Yong replied, "If it can be domesticated, the second generation may be able to run faster without losing the advantage of mountain warfare. No matter how slow it is, at least it is faster than infantry. The stamina is amazing. As a ranger, a scout is actually very good. If you can train it to be a cavalry archer..."

"So that's the case. In this case, we can also consider..." Cao Cao nodded and began to examine the Yunnan horse.

"In addition, we may go south to the south of the Yangtze River, where there are many mountains and forests, and there are few places where there is no flat river. This means that it is difficult for ordinary horses to go, especially for heavy armored tigers and leopards. It is estimated that they have not yet rushed to where they are going. Pass out." Wang Yong looked at Cao Chun, who snorted and turned his head away.

"Prepare for Jiangnan's attack..." Cao Cao frowned again, she really hadn't considered this situation.

"At the same time, it can also guarantee land transportation!" Sima Yi drew inferences, "Although the Jiangnan water network is densely covered, there are also many cities in inland areas, but due to the terrain, it is difficult to transport with ordinary carts. Horses can fix that."

"I will consider this issue, but even if we want to buy it, we need Liu Zhang's cooperation." Cao Cao sighed.Money can't buy it, that's the problem.

"It's really not possible, how about sending Cai Yan to the Southern Huns to get married?" Wang Yong suggested.

"She is still useful now. I need to use her to understand the situation on Yuan Shao's side... Afterwards, it is not easy to send her to be married." Cao Cao shook his head. It was a heartbeat.

"!!!!!!" Yuan Shu in the Huo Tou Army suddenly shuddered, always feeling that someone was plotting against him behind his back.

"General, we found a ranger unit ahead, and the leader is riding a red horse!" In less than an hour, scouts rushed over, and he didn't dare to see too clearly, after all, he might see clearly Once you get it, you can't run away.

"Zihe, you and Wuyou go to see the situation!" Cao Cao immediately ordered, "Bowmen form an array, get ready to shoot!"
