Chapter 392: The most powerful in the world
It is said that Chen Long relied on his unparalleled sharpness with his spear, and with a burst of internal energy, he directly knocked away the leader of the swordsman in green who had excellent swordsmanship. The swordsman in green curled his sword into a crescent moon, spitting blood and flew out of the battle circle. He hit a big tree and fell under the tree, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The swordsman in green clothes rushed to the rescue, but then disappeared.
Chen Long ignored the pursuit of the leader of the blue-robed swordsmen and waved his big gun, joining Gongsun Zan and the leader of the black-robed warriors. The brothers Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yue took the opportunity to escape and met Bao Yue as if it was the other day. Baoyue sent her father out of the battle circle. She was worried about Chen Long's safety, so she turned around and rushed back to the battle circle to find Chen Long. Gongsun Zan couldn't stop him. He thought that this girl would not be able to survive, so he had to rush back to his camp to mobilize troops to rescue her.
When faced with a strong opponent, Chen Long originally suspected that the opponent was one of Dian Wei or Xu Chu, but the opponent's figure did not look like a strong man, and his weapon was not a pair of iron halberds or a heavy giant axe. His moves were also flexible and fast, so he should not be Dian Wei. A strong man like Wei or Xu Chu.
Chen Long knew that Cao Mengde's black-armored warriors were famous all over the world, and he suspected that the other party was Huben. But if the leader of the black-armored warriors was not Dian Wei or Xu Chu, and his martial arts were so strong, who could it be? Guang's mind was rolling, and many names appeared. Suddenly, Chen Long was shocked and shouted: "Hupao Cavalry! You are Cao Chun, the commander of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"
Cao Chun, courtesy name Zihe, was a native of Qiao County, Pei State, Cao Ren's younger brother, and Cao Cao's cousin. Cao Chun was one of the leaders of Cao Cao's elite "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". Because of his meritorious service in the battle to pacify the north, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Gaolingting. Cao Chun was brave and good at fighting, and was very skilled in martial arts. What was rare was that he was very popular. He respected discipline, did not lose his reason, was good at learning, and respected scholars. He was famous all over the world.
Cao Chun lost his father at the age of fourteen, and lived separately from his elder brother Cao Ren, who was a compatriot from the same mother. Later, he inherited his father's family business and became quite wealthy. There were hundreds of servants and guests in the family, but Cao Chun was able to He manages the household with discipline, supervises the servants, and manages the large business without losing order, so the people in the village think that he is very talented. Cao Chun advocated learning and respected learned Confucian scholars, so many Confucian scholars came to seek refuge with him, making Cao Chun's reputation praised far and near. In the fourth year of Zhongping (AD 187), Cao Chunnian entered the imperial court as Huangmen Shilang before he was crowned emperor. He was only eighteen years old.
In the sixth year of Zhongping (AD 189), Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the capital, and Cao Cao fled to Chenliu. Twenty-year-old Cao Chun followed Cao Cao to Xiangyi to recruit troops, and began his military career following Cao Cao in battles.
In the 10th year of Jian'an (AD 205), Cao Chun joined Cao Cao's army as a minister as Yilang. In the name of Yuan Tan's breach of contract, Cao Cao led his army to attack Nanpi City where Yuan Tan was guarding. In this battle, Cao Chun's commander Hu Baoqi followed him. Combat. Yuan Tan did not want to sit still and wait for death, so he sent troops to meet the enemy. Cao Cao's army suffered many casualties and suffered heavy losses after the engagement, so Cao Cao intended to postpone the attack. Cao Chun advised: "Today we are rushing thousands of miles to pursue the enemy. If we fail to completely eliminate the enemy and retreat in a hurry, our military power will inevitably be damaged; besides, we have gone deep alone and it is difficult to fight for a long time. Now the enemy is defeated because of the temporary victory. At first, we were arrogant and careless, but our army became cautious due to the setback of the attack. If our army is cautious and cautious against the arrogant and careless enemy, we will definitely win." Cao Cao listened to his advice, so the commander stepped up his attack. Finally, Yuan Tan was defeated and later killed by Cao Chun's men.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under the command of Cao Chun were known as the "Elite Cavalry in the World", and some of them were selected from the Hundreds of Men. Cao Cao didn't even know who should become this elite cavalry at first. commander in chief. After Cao Chun became the governor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he won the support of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry tribe for his good ability to appease Cunxie soldiers. In the twelfth year of Jian'an (AD 207), Cao Cao went north to conquer Wuhuan and met tens of thousands of Wuhuan's elite cavalry at Bailang Mountain. Cao Cao decisively ordered a battle and appointed Zhang Liao as the vanguard. Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry to follow Zhang Liao and attack the Wuhuan army. The Wuhuan cavalry could not resist and fled after being defeated. Tadun Shanyu and other leaders were captured and killed immediately by the tiger and leopard cavalry.
Cao's army took advantage of the situation and chased them to the north, forcing 200,000 Hu and Han soldiers to surrender. After this battle, Cao Chun was awarded the title of Marquis of Gaolingting and was given the title of Marquis of Gaolingting, with a settlement of 300 households.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (AD 208), Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry to follow Cao Cao in his southern expedition to Jingzhou, and Liu Cong was forced to submit a petition to surrender. Later, Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei had gone south and was afraid that he would gain access to Jiangling's military strength, so he abandoned his baggage and led five thousand tigers and leopards with Cao Chun. At a speed of three hundred miles a day, they caught up with Liu Bei at Changban and captured Liu Bei. His two daughters captured countless baggage and surrendered the scattered soldiers of Liu Bei's army. Later, Cao Chun followed Cao Cao to occupy Jiangling, but unfortunately Chibi was defeated and later returned to Qiaojun.
In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (AD 210), Cao Chun died. At that time, an official asked Cao Cao for instructions to choose someone to replace Cao Chun. Cao Cao said: "A talent like Cao Chun cannot be obtained again, and who can compare with him! Can't I directly serve as the commander-in-chief of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?" For a period of time, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were directly led by Cao Cao.
According to official history, after Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi ascended the throne, he posthumously named Cao Chun Weihou. He was succeeded by his son Cao Yan, who rose to the rank of leading general. During the Zhengyuan period, he was granted the title of Marquis of Pingle Township.
Cao Chun started out with Cao Cao when he was young. He served in the army all his life and won Cao Cao's trust. Although not as famous as Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has always been the most elite cavalry under Cao Cao's command, and Cao Chun's status is irreplaceable.
An idea flashed in Chen Long's mind, and he called out Cao Chun's name. The leader of the black-clad warriors across from him suddenly slashed his sword, and then attacked frantically, as if to hide the shock in his heart.
Cao Chun accepted a secret mission this time and came to Cangzhou to perform it. Only his cousin Cao Cao and Military Advisor Cheng Yu knew that he came specifically for Gongsun Zan and Chen Long. Several major forces behind him were eyeing Chen Long, so several major military and political leaders For the first time, they put aside their prejudices and worked together to come up with a vicious plan to deal with Chen Long and Jizhou. Unexpectedly, Chen Long revealed Cao Chun's identity with one word, causing Cao Chun to panic. Has the secret been leaked? How much does Chen Long know?
Cao Chun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry through hundreds of battles, and his heart has never been as uncertain as it is now. Seeing Chen Long knocking away the leader of the swordsmen in blue, and grabbing the horse in front of him in an instant, he could only suppress all distracting thoughts, and the long sword danced like a pear blossom in the snow, Flying to the top of Chen Long's head.
In Cao Chun's mind, Chen Long's name has long been heard. Brother Meng De and Military Advisor Cheng Yu have studied the most about Chen Long, who has risen like a comet. On that day, across the Daqing River, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry surveillance post under his command was shot to death by Chen Long across the river with an arrow. When he collected his body, he was secretly surprised by the martial arts of the archer. Now facing the powerful enemy of his life, Cao Chun could only hold on to the long knife that accompanies him like his wife every day and start a life-or-death duel with Chen Long.
