Chapter 760: Cao Jun’s sorrow and joy (second update)

Zhao Yun’s goal is actually very simple.

That is the horse farm set up by Cao Wei next to Xudu.

Gongsun Kang from Liaodong, Ma Teng from Xiliang, and Han Sui were all on the border, so they could all take Xiliang, and Liaodong war horses were used as the most. Although Cao Cao also had Bingzhou upper-class war horses as production and supply to the entire north.

But after all, it doesn't produce much.

Moreover, in a war, the loss of war horses will be large. Like Zhao Yun, who has horseshoes, will reduce the loss to the lowest level. However, those war horses without horseshoes will be injured during long-distance raids, and the loss will be large, and sometimes even greater than a fight.

Every war loses countless war horses.

This is naturally not enough to rely solely on external purchases, and it also requires large-scale horse raising.

Cao Cao has three horse farms, one of which is set in Youzhou, one of which is set in Bingzhou, and the other is set near Xudu.

Each horse farm has a large number of war horses, with more than 100,000 adult war horses. Let alone some foals and some mares.

Youzhou and Bingzhou are all in the north and the rear, so they are naturally very safe. There are 50,000 elite soldiers in Xudu City, so it is also very safe to set up the horse farm near Xudu.

According to Zhao Yun's understanding, not counting Xu Du's elite soldiers, there are about 5,000 elite infantry guarding the horse farm, and their defense is also very objective.

Therefore, people in the whole north never thought that Zhao Yun would visit him.

The goal was to cut Cao Cao's meat and rob more than 100,000 war horses as a reserve for the Chu State war horses.

Although a bloody battle with Zhu Ling caused Zhao Yun's cavalry to lose about thousands of people, countless people were injured. Killing one thousand enemies and 800 of them hurt themselves, there was no way.

However, Zhao Yun was still full of confidence in breaking through the 5,000 elite soldiers, bypassing Xudu and attacking the horse farm. This time, he must use Cao Cao's war horse to strengthen the Chu State.

Nearly 90,000 war horses were roaring, heading towards Xu Du. Zhao Yun's eyes were sharp and a little excited.

As long as the more than 100,000 war horses were obtained, the cavalry of Chu could be built on a large scale. With the current national strength, population, and cavalry construction skills were enough to catch up with Cao Wei within a few years.

At that time, fighting for the Central Plains will be like walking on flat ground.

The area where Zhao Yun and Zhu Ling fought was near the avenue. Although when they were fighting, passers-by and merchants were afraid to avoid it.

But after Zhao Yun led his troops away, there were brave people who came forward to check.

The bloody scene really shocked many people.

"Look, that's the flag of Cao Jun."

Passers-by pointed at the "Wei"-shaped flag that had already fallen to the ground.

"This is the Zhugeqi."

"I understand. This must be Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry. I didn't expect it to be destroyed here. Zhao Yun's cavalry is really terrible."

Immediately, someone found Zhu Ling's body and the flag.

All were shocked.

The cavalry of Chu actually wiped out Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry. Is the cavalry of Chu already strong enough to compete with the northern cavalry?

Passers-by speculated that at the same time, the news spread like a wing. Following this, Zhao Yun's reputation was almost the elite reputation of the Chu cavalry.

Famous all over the world.

When Zhao Yun wiped out the Zhu Ling cavalry and advanced to Xudu, he planned to set up Cao Cao in the horse farm outside Xudu, with more than 100,000 war horses in one go under the eyes of Xudu's 50,000 elite troops.

It was calm in Xudu.

Before Zhu Ling set out, the ministers were very confident that Zhu Ling could go and return quickly and eliminate Zhao Yun who invaded the north. At this time, Zhu Ling had already set out for a long time.

Many people also speculated that Zhu Ling had obtained Zhao Yun's head and was on the way back. They were all very confident. No one would have thought that Zhu Ling would not kill Zhao Yun, but instead was killed by Zhao Yun.

No one restrained his bones and fed the vultures.

At this moment, in the study of the Shangshu Ling Xun Yu's official residence, Xun Yu knelt in the upper seat.

He was wearing a regular suit and a crown on his head. He looked very elegant and stood an official below. He was an official who was responsible for rewarding the three armies.

"Sir, do you think if General Zhu Ling returns, is it enough to reward these?" the official asked Xun Yu with a smile.

When Xun Yu heard this, he looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and listed the things that needed to be rewarded, including gold, silver, money, and some meat such as pigs and sheep.

In addition, there should be some rewards. However, Zhu Ling was a general of Wei and received a seal from Cao Wei. Therefore, this matter needs to be reported to Yecheng before making a decision.

In general, Xun Yu and the others were already sure of winning the destruction of Zhao Yun, and they were ready for everything. They just waited for the news to come and rewarded the three armies and enfeoffed the soldiers.

The reward listed also made Xun Yu very satisfied. He nodded and said, "No, just prepare according to this. Go quickly."

"No." Seeing Xun Yu agreeing, the official smiled deeper on his face, and he respectfully agreed to the promise and walked down. He was ready to mobilize the corresponding supplies and give them a reward.

After the official left.

Xun You stood up and felt very relaxed. Over the years, the State of Chu has been growing stronger and putting too much pressure on the north.

Along the cavalry, Kou Feng formed 30,000 cavalry. As soon as the news came, the north was in panic.

The north is good at horses and the south is good at water. After one side gains the advantage of the other side, there is a sign of advancing to the other side.

Just like when Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou and established a navy army, he was able to compete with the Eastern Wu.

Now, Kou Feng established cavalry, just like he used to compete with the Central Plains. Now, this cavalry has been eliminated in its infancy.

Xun Yu was naturally very relaxed.

But just when Xun Yu felt relieved for the fate of the north, there was a sudden tremor of shaking mountains inside and outside Xu's capital.

There were 50,000 elite soldiers in Xudu. After Zhu Ling went to war, although Xun Yu was confident and did not order the city gate to close, he also sent a large number of soldiers to the top of the city as a guard.

People from the north are good at horses, even if they are not cavalry, but they are very clear about the signs of the emergence of large-scale cavalry.

"It was General Zhu who came back, and it was General Zhu who returned in triumph."

"General Zhu returned in triumphant success." Countless soldiers gave up patrol, looked eastward and cheered. The entire city seemed to be in a state of jubilation.

And a fast horse ran out and headed to the Shangshu Ling Mansion to report the news of the great victory.

But then, the enthusiasm of the soldiers was wiped out and their bodies trembled. I saw that a cavalry indeed appeared.

But the leader was a silver-armored general, beside him was the general flag of "Zhao" and the general flag of "Chu" and the general flag of "Zhu".

This is the iron cavalry of Chu.

Countless Cao Wei soldiers opened their eyes wide and watched the appearance of this cavalry in disbelief. Zhao Yun came here for Yang Wei.

He drew on the strategy of Kou Feng Chen Bing outside Xu Capital, which shocked the entire north. Therefore, he deliberately brought the cavalry very close to the city.

A total of 20,000 to 30,000 troops and 90,000 war horses were like a torrent, whizzing past outside Xudu City. Don't mention that kind of stimulation.

The soldiers of Cao Wei were all confused and soon came up with a more intelligent thought.

Since this is Zhao Yun's cavalry, and there are so many war horses, how are their cavalry? How are Zhu Ling's cavalry?

Being defeated? Is it a crushing defeat or a complete defeat?

Many officers with some status changed their faces. What was going on? The newly established Chu cavalry actually defeated Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry.

This, this.

Is this a sign of the change in the situation of the good horses in the north and the good waters in the south? Does this mean that the fate of Cao Wei will decline from now on?

What made some senior generals even more disgraceful is that they had just ordered the horse to report the good news.

Now the good news has turned into a disastrous defeat.

What should I do?

"Hurry, go and recover the fast horses. I will convey the news of Zhao Yun's cavalry to the Secretary of the Republic." The city gate guard said with a pale face and a cold sweat.

"No." The messenger had the same expression. After arguing, he immediately rode his horse to chase him.

But it's too late.

Inside the official residence of Shangshu Ling.

When Xun Yu heard the news that Zhu Ling led the brigade of cavalry to return, he immediately stood up.

"Play a music to welcome General Zhu Ling. Slaughter pigs to reward the three armies." Xun Yu shouted loudly and ordered.

"promise."

The little official outside the door responded and immediately went down to prepare.

Not long after, the entire Xudu City played a triumphant music. Some families who were in their hearts opened the middle door and ordered them to reward the servants.

It can be said that it is full of joy.

But the guards in the west of the city were already disgusted. This lie to the news was a death sentence, and now the report of the miserable defeat has become a great victory.

What should I do?

Listening to the sound of Kaile in the city, the guard's face was gone, like a dead body.

"General, what should I do?" A soldier Sima next to him was also dissatisfied and trembled at the guard general.

"Just commit suicide." In despair, the general suddenly pulled out the Wei sword at his waist, put it on his neck, and smeared his neck with a cruel heart.

"General." A miserable scream suddenly sounded on the top of the city.

Zhao Yun was just on a whim and led his troops to pass outside Xudu City. He showed his power with his power. However, he did not expect that the troops would be bloodless and killed a general in the west of Cao's city.

It's really a big wonder.

After the Cao army guard wiped his neck, Kaile in the city was still playing. It was a sharp contrast with the body of the guard.

The morale of the Cao army soldiers on the front wall has fallen to the bottom.

Unfortunately, Xu Shu didn't know that if he knew that there would be such a moment, he would definitely attack Xu Du at all costs. Maybe he could successfully take Xu Du.
