"Since you all choose Zihe and you can win, then I will only buy Zixiu. The bet is one month's salary."
"If you win, your salary will be doubled this month, otherwise you won't get any money at all!"
"What do you think?"
Xia Houyuan and the other three people nodded one after another, indicating that they had no objections and accepted Cao Cao's bet.
In short, it is generally just for entertainment, and other purposes can only be said to be incidental.
And after seeing everyone discuss it.
Cao Ang and Cao Chun nodded to each other.
Then each led his horse to the starting point.
Unlike Cao Chun, who directly got on his horse and started making various adjustments, Cao Ang stood still and stroked the back of the horse next to him.
He patted randomly everywhere on his body.
Then he lay down next to the horse's head and seemed to say something into his ear, looking mysterious.
This stunned everyone.
Could it be that the major general can still communicate with the war horses?
Or is there some wonderful recipe? I feel like I can't beat Cao Chun, so I just put it out like this.
Incomprehensible.
But that didn't stop Cao Ang from getting on his horse after some gestures, and then made a gesture to the soldiers who were giving orders.
"It's time to start!"
After confirming that both of them are ready.
The soldier on the side banged the gong in his hand.
"clang!"
The moment the sound reached my ears.
The two of them rode their horses and whipped their whips in unison.
All of a sudden.
The two riders disappeared from the starting line instantly like two hurricanes.
Cao Cao and others who were standing there only heard the sound of horse hooves on the ground and saw the dust flying. In a blink of an eye, they found that Cao Ang and Cao Chun had already reached the middle of the school field.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
No matter who wins or loses in the end.
Anyway, one thing is certain.
That means both of them are at a very high level!
Anyway, if you let them come, they will never achieve this effect, and they will be several steps behind at least.
This time the game became exciting.
…
This is completely different from the mentality of Cao Cao and others.
Cao Chun and Cao Ang, who were riding on horseback at this moment, did not have any unnecessary thoughts.
Instead, they all stared ahead nervously.
There is no difference between the horses under the two seats, and the movements at the start are also similar. It can be said that the details have been taken care of.
So in the process of straight-line sprinting, it is difficult for technology to play a role, and the gap cannot be widened at all.
Therefore, the two sides are close to equal position at this moment.
The key is the moment you pick up the ball.
"Da da da!"
With the constant sound of horse hooves tapping the ground.
The two of them were getting closer and closer to where the small wooden stick stood, and they were about to reach the match point.
Cao Chun couldn't help but tighten the reins.
The palms of his hands were already sweating, making the reins a little slippery.
But he didn't care at all.
Instead, he counted the numbers silently in his mind.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
At the moment when I think of one.
Cao Chun immediately pulled the reins sharply to the left, turned sideways, and leaned out halfway.
Then there was a neighing sound.
Cao Chun's horse suddenly changed from advancing straight forward to turning sideways, and it had a strong tendency to continue to fight sideways.
This way.
If Cao Chun wants to catch the ball with his hands, the height difference and distance that need to be reduced are shortened a lot.
Can think of this and do this.
It undoubtedly requires extremely high equestrian skills.
Otherwise, if the war horse does not obey the command, it will be the fate of being knocked down in an instant.
However, Cao Chun did it.
He is truly worthy of being called a top riding master.
The moment he pinched the cloth ball with his right hand, half of Cao Chun's heart suddenly returned to his chest.
The whole person swallowed a gulp of saliva, and the tense mood just now relaxed a lot.
It is precisely because the cloth ball is already in the palm of the hand.
Cao Chun was able to spare some time to look at Cao Ang who was standing aside. After all, it was also important to observe the opponent.
However, this look.
Cao Chun couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face.
I saw that half of Cao Ang's body had already passed the position where the wooden stick was set up, and the horse under his crotch still kept going straight.
How do you win this?
Unless there is a golden hook hanging upside down from the horse's belly on the spot, everything is empty talk.
Because the distance is no longer enough.
Cao Chun couldn't think of any other way to make Cao Ang get the ball as quickly as possible, turn his horse's head and run towards the starting point.
Just the next scene.
Cao Chun was dumbfounded.
Not only Cao Chun, but Cao Cao and others who were standing on the sidelines and watching all the time were also stunned!
…
I saw Cao Ang patting the right side of the war horse's neck at the critical moment.
The horse under his crotch seemed to have received some instructions and responded instantly.
The front legs that were about to step forward and make a galloping motion suddenly hit back abnormally.
Just like that!
The small ball hanging on the wooden stick was immediately hit by the impact of the horse's hooves and was knocked directly from the ground.
"Snapped!"
Cao Ang reached out and fished it out.
The cloth ball flying in mid-air was immediately caught in his palm without any effort at all.
He even had time to pat the horse's back, causing the horse to slow down slightly, then decisively changed its direction and ran back.
All of a sudden.
The whole audience was shocked!
Xia Houyuan and others even exclaimed in low voices.
Full of horror!
Including Cao Cao, everyone's eyes almost popped out.
The bosses all opened their mouths.
I couldn't get it together for a long while.
What operation?
What kind of operation is this!
No need to lean out, no need to change direction, no effort at all.
There is no danger in the whole process and no time wasted.
Relying on the cleverness of the horse sitting down, he got the target object in his hand.
This...isn't this right?
Whose horse can do such tricks? !
The key point is that this horse is an ordinary war horse in the military camp. It is obvious to everyone that it has not received any special training in advance.
Even when choosing a war horse, Cao Ang still let Cao Chun choose first, which was not unfair at all.
Just because I said a few words into the horse's ears earlier, the horse became so obedient?
And being obedient is only the basis for making the horse make movements. The key is to increase the amplitude of the horse's hoof hitting back during the galloping process.
This kind of control is extremely delicate.
It can't be done in a few clicks.
All of a sudden.
Cao Cao and others felt their scalps numb.
Don't understand.
But what a shock!
…
Cao Ang showed off such a magical skill.
The outcome is basically decided.
First, Cao Chun leaned out to get the ball with half of his body. In this case, he did not dare to accelerate. He had to stabilize his center of gravity and sit upright.
This is at least a waste of more than ten breaths.
Adjust the direction again.
I'm afraid everyone has won, but he is still halfway there. Unless Cao Ang stumbles on the road, there is no possibility of a comeback.
See this situation.
Cao Chun, who finally managed to stabilize his figure, couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, and his whole body collapsed slightly.
It’s not that I don’t work hard.
The opponent really has magical skills!
Of course, after adjusting his mood, Cao Chun still smoothly controlled the horse to reach the finish line.
At this moment, Cao Ang had dismounted and was waiting for him.
"Hush!"
After reining in the horse and neighing.
Cao Chun also fell off his horse.
He walked to Cao Ang in a few steps.
Without saying a word, he cupped his hands, bowed deeply, and spoke with great sincerity.
"The general is truly a god!"
"I am just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. I don't know that there is such a god as a general in the world, and I still want to compare with you. I am really ashamed!"
He is no longer called Major General.
Address the general directly.
This change in title also shows the change in Cao Chun's mentality.
This is a high recognition of Cao Ang.
Full of respect and respect.
If Cao Ang gives him any instructions in the future, Cao Chun will probably not hesitate at all and will carry them out honestly.
In fact, this is exactly Cao Ang’s original intention!
How can he have so much free time? He has to drag others to race horses and do fancy things.
I just want to conquer Cao Chun!
Ever since he accidentally showed his hand in front of Dian Wei and made Dian Wei surrender to him, Cao Ang has paid attention to this aspect.
Show your muscles appropriately in front of your subordinates.
Suppress them where they do best.
This can make these subordinates admire and respect themselves more, thus turning them into loyalty.
A little trick!
That's why he specially organized such a competition today, just to defeat Cao Chun.
Different from other clan generals.
Cao Chun is a very unique talent who needs to be mastered.
After all, Cao Ang plans to use the cavalry as his trump card unit in the future, and he needs to have a high degree of control over this unit.
That's Cao Chun, the cavalry commander.
It is naturally impossible to be alienated from oneself.
Therefore, it is necessary to come here.
…
"Zihe, please get up quickly!"
"You are just entertaining me and doing something elegant, why should you be ashamed to say it?"
"You were able to obtain the cloth ball just now. It has proven that your riding skills are quite superb and you are worthy of being called a skilled archer and horseman. In the future, I will leave the cavalry battalion to you to command, and I am relieved!"
Very leadership style.
After hearing this, Cao Chun felt no discomfort.
Instead, he looked excited.
Such a reaction.
This means that from now on, even if Cao Ang meets Cao Chun on the street or at a banquet of the Cao family, he will be able to accept it calmly if he calls her by his nickname.
Just as the two were talking.
Cao Cao and others, who finally woke up from their shock, came quickly at this moment.
After meeting Cao Ang.
Cao Hong didn't even care about the month's salary he had just lost.
He walked around Cao Ang's horse twice, patting it here, touching it there, and trying to say a few words to the horse's ears.
It seems that he wants to test the quality of this horse.
Unfortunately it has no effect.
The war horse snorted and ignored Cao Hong.
"Zixiu...how did you do this?"
What else can Cao Ang rely on?
It's not like he really understands bestiality.
Saying those two words into the horse's ears was just a show for others to see, and actually said nothing.
The key point is actually his precise control on the horse, that is, the shot when he is about to pass the ball. This is the key to prompting the horse to kick back.
After gaining riding proficiency.
What improved was not only his ability to control horses, but also his ability to look at horses, raise horses, and become familiar with and understand the body structure of war horses.
Wherever you shoot, it will cause a related reaction in which muscles, thus prompting the horse to kick back.
Cao Ang can tell at a glance!
This is the secret of his magical skills!
…
But faced with questions from his father and others.
Cao Ang could only pretend to be profound.
He must maintain his composure.
Therefore, he did not answer Cao Hong's question, but patted the horse's back lightly.
While smiling.
The war horse, which had lowered its head calmly, started to dance along with his movements.
Now everyone was shocked!
It was far away just now and I couldn't see clearly.
The moment is here.
It was clear what actions Cao Ang made.
Just a simple pat.
The horse started to move on its own.
All of a sudden!
The eyes of several clan generals looking at Cao Ang were a little different.
What does losing a month’s salary count?
I can see such a scene.
Worth it!
For a time, everyone was happy to surrender to Cao Ang, and even Cao Cao benefited from it.
To be able to teach such a great son.
So can a father be any worse?
No wonder we can only be subordinates. It turns out there is a reason why people are leaders.
Cao Cao's goal was achieved instantly.
The cohesiveness and loyalty of everyone has risen sharply, and today's harvest is unexpected.
Just don't know.
Cao Cao was surprised at the same time.
He was also full of doubts and shock.
When did Ang'er become so good at riding? Could it be that he trained secretly somewhere?
Or is it a gift?
If it's the latter, that's a bit scary. My son is too omnipotent!
Don’t you have the talent of heaven?
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel emotional when he thought that Cao Ang also had a wonderful horse named Red Rabbit.
Now the Cao family is really a thousand miles away!
…
at dusk.
In front of the Cao Mansion.
Cao Chun was holding a brocade box in his arms and was listening to Cao Ang's instructions with excitement on his face.
"Send people to organize craftsmen to build the things on these two drawings as soon as possible. These are tools that can greatly increase the cavalry's combat power. There must be no delay."
"My subordinates understand! As soon as I have the first finished product, I will inform the general immediately!"
Cao Chun's mood was full of ups and downs.
In the afternoon, Cao Ang led him to the study room, saw these two drawings, and analyzed them.
Cao Chun was shocked.
I feel like I have been shocked all day.
Not that he was surprised.
In fact, the two things on the drawing are of profound significance to the cavalry.
Even though the real thing hasn’t been created yet.
But with just a little imagination, you can see how powerful it is!
Can be mass-produced and equipped, and the Cao family's cavalry will become a sharp knife, piercing directly into the heart of the enemy, making them invincible!
Seeing Cao Chun's excitement.
Cao Ang couldn't help but smile.
Then he remembered something.
Hao hurriedly asked: "Zihe, I heard that you have an older brother who is still living outside. Is this true?"
Cao Ang refers to Cao Ren.
Unlike other clan brothers who are cousins, Cao Chun and Cao Ren are full brothers.
Therefore, regarding the news about Cao Ren, Cao Ang naturally asked Cao Chun more directly.
And after hearing the inquiry.
Cao Chun nodded decisively.
"The last general does have an elder brother who is still living abroad. At that time, Yanzhou and Yuzhou were in chaos, and our brothers had already dispersed."
"But I also received news not long ago that my brother is now in the Huaisi area and has a large team under him."
"I have sent a letter to him to explain the situation here. I think it won't be long before my brother will lead his troops here."
Cao Ang nodded.
He still wanted the general Cao Ren.
The world often hears about his reputation for being good at defense, but in fact Cao Ren is an all-around military commander with both offense and defense.
It's just that he has more opportunities to perform defensively, which leads to a deviation in his reputation.
If only I could have one more general like this under my command.
Then a lot of things will be easier to do next.
At least in some cities or territories, you can leave everything to Cao Ren to handle without having to worry about any big mistakes.
After learning the whereabouts of Cao Ren.
Cao Ang kept this in mind silently.
…
After Cao Chun leaves.
Cao Ang originally planned to turn around and go back home.
But look at the sky, it's only evening.
After thinking for a while, he walked briskly into the small courtyard next door.
…
