Chapter 124 Chen Dao Guixin
Accompanied by Cao Zhi's order.
The entire Shangdang County began to operate.
In order to give his cavalry a greater advantage in the battle with the Hun cavalry.
Cao Zhi called Gao Shun over and told him the secret of the double stirrups in front of him.
At the same time, Gao Shun was asked to find excellent craftsmen.
Ensure that other war horses are also equipped with double stirrups before the army sets out.
When Gao Shun heard what Cao Zhi said, he was stunned.
In Gao Shun's opinion, it would be best not to spread the double stirrup, a magical artifact that has such a significant effect on cavalry.
Otherwise it will be copied by the enemy.
By then everyone will use double stirrups, and the advantage of our cavalry will be gone.
Therefore, Gao Shun raised questions.
"Bo Ping, you're right. Double stirrups are indeed a powerful weapon for cavalry, but Mencius also said, 'A country is not secured by the dangers of mountains and streams, nor is the world intimidated by the power of weapons.' External forces are certainly important, but the most important thing in conquering the world is the people's hearts. Furthermore, a technology like double stirrups, which can be easily copied, cannot be hidden..."
"So what we need to do now is not to hide the double stirrups from being discovered by others, but to seize the opportunity before the double stirrups spread widely, achieve a surprise victory, and wipe out the Xiongnu in one fell swoop!"
Cao Zhi explained with a smile.
Seeing Cao Zhi say this, Gao Shun nodded in agreement.
At the same time, he assured Cao Zhi that he would make the double stirrups Cao Zhi needed within three days.
Seeing Gao Shun so understanding, Cao Zhi gave Gao Shun the "Yuanheng Horse Healing Collection" he had obtained from the system before.
The reason is the same as before.
Cao Zhi needed to obtain more and better veterinarians in a short period of time.
Gao Shun's pupils trembled when he heard this.
Looked at Cao Zhi in front of him.
Thinking back to the time I knew Cao Zhi.
The shock that Cao Zhi brought to himself.
At this moment, in Gao Shun's heart, Cao Zhi has become synonymous with "unfathomable".
"Fortunately, fortunately, the three of us have all joined the Fourth Young Master!"
Gao Shun said with a look of relief.
……
In order to better win this Northern Expedition.
Although Cao Zhi still insisted on letting the army "get food locally".
But at the same time, Cao Zhi also filled his system space with food in case of emergency.
Whether it is food for humans or food for war horses.
Gao Shun delivered the supplies to Cao Zhi during the day.
At night, Cao Zhi stuffed them into the system space.
Just two days.
Cao Zhi's system space was filled to the brim.
Watching a large amount of supplies disappear.
Gao Shun was very shocked at first.
But after seeing Cao Zhi's calm expression.
Gao Shun was very smart and did not ask about this matter.
……
Since in the meeting room.
Cao Zhi announced that he would lead 10,000 cavalrymen to the north to conquer the queen.
That night.
In the military camp where the troops are stationed.
It was crowded with soldiers who came to sign up.
Excluding the 4,500 cavalrymen Cao Zhi brought from Jizhou.
The remaining 5,500 people.
The cavalry was automatically replenished from the group of cavalry originally commanded by high-ranking officials.
After the number of people is gathered.
Cao Zhi waved his hand.
Zhang He, Ju Qi and Le Jin were given the power to select 2,000 cavalry each.
The news that Le Jin's army was almost wiped out reminded Cao Zhi.
That is, no matter how powerful the general is.
They also need to have their own troops.
Otherwise, the situation in the Song Dynasty would really be like "the generals don't know their soldiers, and the soldiers don't know their generals."
Then Le Jin’s previous experience will be Cao Zhi’s future.
Therefore, Cao Zhi generously delegated power.
Seeing Cao Zhi being so magnanimous, Zhang He and the other two were instantly ecstatic.
Three people in one day.
Just choose your own steps.
Because of the hatred towards the Huns in his heart.
The three of them even moved directly into the military camp.
Eat and live with the soldiers every day.
I hope to quickly integrate with my subordinates.
……
The second day the three of them stayed in the military camp.
Chen Dao went to find Cao Zhi.
"Uncle Zhi, what are you doing?"
Seeing Chen Dao suddenly find him, Cao Zhi became alert.
three months ago.
Cao Zhi once had a "gentleman's agreement" with Chen Dao.
That is, Cao Zhi let Chen Dao's men go.
Chen Dao worked for Cao Zhi for three months.
Three months later, Chen Dao was about to leave, and Cao Zhi had no choice but to stop him.
Now, the three months are up.
At this moment, Chen Dao suddenly came to find him.
Instinctively, Cao Zhi thought Chen Dao was preparing to leave.
"If you leave like this, won't my initial investment be wasted?"
Cao Zhi was dissatisfied in his heart.
"Fourth Young Master, I have a request of yours, and I beg you to agree to it!"
Chen Dao said with a serious face.
"really!!!"
Cao Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
But on the surface, Cao Zhi smiled and said:
"You and I are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"But if you mean to leave me and return to Uncle Liu, could you please wait until tomorrow so I can throw a big feast and have everyone bid you farewell?"
Cao Zhi laughed.
While speaking, he observed Chen Dao's expression.
As for Chen Dao, he couldn't help but tremble after hearing Cao Zhi's words.
The look he gave Cao Zhi was full of complexity and shock.
After a long time, Chen Dao said:
"Fourth Young Master, I actually came to you in the beginning to ask you to lead the army to the north to fight against the Xiongnu!"
"Well, what now?"
Cao Zhi smiled.
"Now... now what I want to say is that I still volunteered to lead the troops to the north to fight against the Xiongnu. However, there is one thing I want to make clear in advance: I, Chen Dao, have decided to follow the Fourth Young Master in the future!"
Chen Dao said seriously.
"Haha, okay, Shuzhi, I wasn't wrong about you!"
Cao Zhi patted Chen Dao's shoulder and said happily.
Because he had promised Chen Dao, Cao Zhi waved his hand again.
Two thousand cavalry were allocated to Chen Dao as his support.
After Chen Dao thanked Cao Zhi.
We moved into the military camp that night.
……
Chen's problem here has been resolved.
The generals for this northern expedition have finally been determined.
Just when Cao Zhi was thinking about what supplies the army would need before setting off tomorrow...
Zhang Yan found Cao Zhi.
As soon as they met, Zhang Yan expressed to Cao Zhi his desire to join the army in the northern expedition.
Zhang Yan knew that his personal strength and ability to command troops were not as good as Zhang He and others.
Therefore, after volunteering.
Zhang Yan also told Cao Zhi about his guilt towards the people of Bingzhou.
He hoped to gain Cao Zhi's consent by playing the victim.
Seeing Zhang Yan's words were so sincere and heartfelt.
Cao Zhi considered it for a long time, but ultimately did not agree to Zhang Yan's request.
There are three reasons.
First, Zhang Yan's personal ability is not good enough. In this northern expedition, he will be of little use.
Second, Zhang Yan felt guilty towards the people of Bingzhou, and keeping him in the rear would ensure that he would do good things for the people;
Third, Zhang Yan and Gao Shun did not know each other before, and both of them are now very dependent on him. Putting them together will be more conducive to Cao Zhi's management of Bingzhou.
Combining the above three points.
Cao Zhi made the final decision.
Leave Zhang Yan in Taiyuan County and let him partner with Gao Shun.
Gao Shun was appointed as the prefect, and Zhang Yan as the lieutenant.
If the entire Bingzhou is recovered in the future.
Gao Shun was the governor of Bingzhou, and Zhang Yan was the deputy governor of Bingzhou.
Cao Zhi could naturally see the two men's loyalty to him.
But the way to control subordinates.
Except the law.
Technique is also important.
The two of them checked and balanced each other, with Cao Zhi acting as the middle regulator.
Only such a combination can make Cao Zhi feel at ease.
Even Cao Zhi himself didn't notice it.
Just when he was subtly influencing the people around him.
The environment he lives in is also influencing him subtly.
……
Sheriff's Mansion.
Cao Zhi's room.
Master Cao has been busy all day.
After taking a shower, I climbed onto the bed and prepared to have a good sleep.
Once the army sets out.
I couldn't sleep well for at least a few months.
Therefore, Cao Zhi took a bath tonight.
He ordered everyone not to disturb him.
"Crench!"
Just then, the door was opened.
Immediately afterwards, Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi walked in slowly.
"Come again..."
Seeing that someone was looking for him again, Cao Zhi couldn't help but complain.
Diao Chan: “???”
Lu Lingqi: “???”
Two beautiful women came to see you, but instead of being moved, you looked disgusted. Lu Lingqi was instantly fed up.
She stretched out her sexy and slender legs, ready to teach Cao Zhi a lesson.
But before she could take any action, Diao Chan stopped her.
Then Diao Chan looked at Cao Zhi and said gently:
"Husband, I know you've been having a hard time lately. I'm a woman, there's nothing I can do to help you. Only my body can help you relax..."
When she said this, Diao Chan's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As for Cao Zhi, he couldn't believe his ears at this moment.
He looked at Diao Chan in front of him, and then looked at Lu Lingqi beside Diao Chan.
Cao Zhi felt like he was dreaming.
Cao Zhi could understand why Diao Chan did this.
After all, Diao Chan is a woman who knows how to make use of her beauty.
But Lu Lingqi is different.
She is such a proud woman, how could she?
"Don't look at me like that. It was Auntie Chan... Sister Chan. Seeing how tired you were, she wanted to reward you in her own way. When I heard that, I was afraid you might hurt her, so I followed you..."
As Lu Lingqi said this, she looked around.
Obviously, she was not as calm as she said.
The pair of delicate hands that kept rubbing each other revealed her inner panic at the moment.
"Qier wants you to take her north with you. If you agree, she's willing..."
At this moment, Diao Chan revealed Lu Lingqi's plan.
Diao Chan spoke out all her thoughts.
Lu Lingqi's face flushed instantly.
But after a moment, Lu Lingqi stared at Cao Zhi again.
It seemed to be saying, "If you agree, I will stay tonight. If you don't agree, I will leave now..."
And based on Lu Lingqi's understanding of Cao Zhi.
She believed that Cao Zhi would definitely agree to her.
As for Cao Zhi, he touched his nose awkwardly.
Since both girls are so proactive, wouldn’t it be too hurtful to them if I refuse?
