Section 4 Stirrup ()

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and waved his hand to stop Xu Chu. He knew what Xu Chu was thinking. Xu Chu's eldest son Xu Yi and Xu Zhengli were over 20 years old this year. He has been following the army since he was fifteen or sixteen years old. The first battle should be Guandu. That day, he personally took the tiger and leopard cavalry and two hundred tiger guards to sneak attack Chunyu Qiong's camp. Xu Yi was the first to rush into Chunyu Qiong's central army tent and chopped down the banner with one knife. From that day on, this young man who looked like his father came into his eyes. He has been paying attention to him over the past few years. This Xu Yi not only has good martial arts skills, but also has a very similar personality to his father. He is calm and cautious, and is a young man who can rest assured.

However, it was precisely because of Xu Chu's steady character that he had been suppressing Xu Yi's promotion. Many tiger soldiers who followed Xu Yi into the Wuwei Camp have been released into the army and become quite middle-level officers. Xu Yi was not promoted to a hundred generals until the Battle of Liucheng last year.

Cao Cao always saw Xu Chu's approach, but he didn't say anything. He was waiting for an opportunity. It should be said that he was waiting for this day after Cang Shu came up with that wonderful method in the fifth year of Jian'an.

"Let him follow Kurashu, let Dianman come back too, and send another eight tiger soldiers."

"No!" Xu Chu replied.

Cao Cao saw a little strange in Xu Chu's eyes, but he knew that as long as he didn't say it, Xu Chu would never ask. He then said: "Pick ten tiger soldiers for Ziwen and Zijian each."

"promise!"

Xu Chu waited for a while, and saw that Cao Cao had no other instructions, so he stepped back to the door and turned out. He stood under the eaves and looked at the tiger soldiers standing upright like pine trees under the steps, gave a light breath, and waved to Xu Yi who was standing with a knife in the distance.

After a while, the assassination Shi Gaorou walked over quickly. After a while, he retreated from the room with a serious expression and turned around and hurriedly left. With the sound of footsteps, Cao Cao walked out of the room, stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, looked at Gao Rou's hurriedly away back, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his eyes.

"Let's go and see Kurashu."

Cao Chong's house is very lively now. Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang were sitting around Cao Chong's bed. Cao Ji and Cao Yu squeezed on Cao Chong's bed and were staring at Cao Chong's big eyes and listening to Cao Chong's story. Today, Cao Chong was talking about Alibaba and the forty thieves. He had some storytelling skills. His ups and downs and gestures were combined with rich expressions on his face. When talking about the nervousness, Cao Ji and Cao Yu were so nervous that they couldn't breathe. Even Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi were attracted, holding their thighs with both hands and leaning forward unconsciously.

Cao Cao stood outside the door and saw the happy look of the brothers. He felt warm and raised his hand to stop Zhou Buyi, who was about to remind Cao Chong, and stood aside and listened quietly to Cao Chong's story. Zhou Buyi lowered his head slightly, covering up the joy in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, that's all for today. Can you tell me again tomorrow?" Cao Chong finished telling the story, looked at Cao Ji and Cao Yu who were still interested, and clapped his hands.

"Haha, Cang Shu, where did you hear this wonderful story? Why haven't I heard it? There is also the name, Alibaba, it sounds strange, where is it from?" Cao Cao slapped his face and laughed.

When the Cao family heard Cao Cao's voice, they all stood up and greeted Cao Cao. Even the fake Cao Chong turned over from the bed and gave a respectful salute.

"Oh!" Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little apologized when he saw that the atmosphere of chatting and laughing just now became serious. He waved his hand and asked them to sit down, making a few more jokes. But seeing that they were laughing so restrainedly, he had to give up the idea of ​​reconciling the atmosphere, turned his head and said to Cao Chong, "Cang Shu, it seems that your body is basically fine."

"Thank you father to care, Chong'er is already healed." Cao Chong couldn't help feeling his throat itchy when he thought that the person who was in his thirties had to pretend to be a thirteen-year-old child.

"It's good, it's also annoying to think about it. There are actually assassins in Ye City. Gao Rou, the assassin, did not know how the assassination Ling Shi did." Cao Cao slapped his thighs angrily, "By the way, Ziwen, Zijian, Cang Shu, I asked the Wuwei Captain to assign ten tiger soldiers to each of your brothers as guards, so that Ziwen would always drool at Zihuan's tiger soldiers."

"Hahaha..." Cao Zhang grinned with a big mouth and said, "Ahon, where did I have it?"

"I said no, I think your saliva is about to flow down now." Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and pointed at Cao Zhang and said with a smile: "I tell you, don't bother with tiger soldiers all day long. I know you want to be a general, but courage is just for one aspect of the five virtues of the general. If only courage is, it is the courage of an ordinary man."

"Thank you for your teachings, my father." Cao Zhang was thinking that someone would fight when he went back, but Cao Cao suddenly fell into trouble. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and quickly responded.

Cao Pi smiled and said, "My father has to teach Ziwen a lesson. He has disturbed Zi and his uncle very much in the past two days. He has beaten Wenlie's tiger cavalry and personal guards all over the place. He was thinking about going to compete with Zidan's leopard cavalry tomorrow."

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyebrows raised. Cao Chun and Cao Zi and the captain of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Xiu's Tiger Cavalry, and Cao Zhen's Leopard Cavalry were all elites accumulated since he and his army. Recently, they have added a lot of Wuhuan people. In terms of strength, they are not inferior to Zhang Liao's Bingzhou Cavalry and Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Cavalry. Not only are the cavalry's tactics pure, but also their personal martial arts are first-class in the army, and they can fight against Zhang Liao's personal guards. Although Cao Zhang has extraordinary arm strength and skillful martial arts, he really doesn't believe it if he fights all the famous tiger cavalry with good deeds.

"real?"

"It's true, father, Ziwen has recently got new equipment. Cang Shu drew a picture for him and created two things called stirrups. Ziwen suddenly became like a tiger, and the cavalry hedged, and no one could be regarded as him for a round." Cao Pi pushed Cao Zhang, who was a little embarrassed, and said with a quip.

"Steps?" Cao Cao was confused.

Cao Pi took a piece of paper from the short table beside him, held it with both hands, and handed it to Cao Cao respectfully. It was the schematic diagram of the stirrup drawn by Cao Chong. He heard Cao Zhang talk about being stabbed from the horse that day. Later, when Zhou Buyi explained, he soon thought of the stirrup. It seemed that during the Three Kingdoms, the knights were clamping the horse with two legs to maintain balance. Therefore, most soldiers in this era still controlled the reins with one hand and danced the ring-headed sword with the other hand. Only those skilled knights could ride on the horse with just two legs, freeing up their hands to hold the long weapons to hedge, one inch long and one inch long. When the four-foot-long ring-headed sword encounters a long halberd or spear that is nearly two feet long, the outcome is basically known.

When Cao Zhang first took this picture, he didn't understand what it was. After he tied the created stirrup to the saddle and had a focus on his feet, he woke up like a dream. After stabbing Zhang Hu from the horse in one round, he ran to the tiger and leopard cavalry excitedly, bullying the tiger and riding the tiger cavalry for a while. In the end, even Cao Xiu, the tiger cavalry, was stabbed by him from the horse.
