In the State of Wei, the Palace of the King of Wei in Yecheng, Jizhou.
News of the defeat of Liu Zhang's Eastern Army soon spread.
Cao Cao summoned his generals to inform him of the good news.
"Hahaha, it's really not as good as God! Liu Zhang was so self-righteous that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Jingzhou. What was the result?"
"This is called stealing the chicken but losing the rice! You deserve it! Hahaha!"
At this moment, how could Cao Cao feel so happy?
He was tricked and stumbled into trouble in Nanjun, but now he is finally reincarnated!
Unhappy retribution!
"King Wei, I heard that the heavy cavalry armors distributed by Liu Zhang in the martial arts competition did a great favor to Liu Bei! Without these cavalry, the Qin army would not be so vulnerable in land battles!"
Xiahou Dun's eyes were full of joy.
The humiliation I suffered in Chang'an in the past was all revealed in one breath today.
"This is called being full! If you don't keep such treasures, you give them away! How stupid!"
All civil and military officials on the left and right expressed their approval.
This battle can be said to fully demonstrate the power of heavy cavalry armor!
At the same time, it once again proved that Xiahou Dun's decision was correct.
Without Xiahou Dun, how could there be tens of thousands of cavalry?
"King Wei, the big-eared bandits only have 6,000 cavalry, and we have nearly 50,000! In the future duel on the plains, who can be our Wei army's opponent?"
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, fully approving of Xiahou Dun.
"From now on, this invincible and number one cavalryman in the world will belong to Gu Gu!"
"Yuan Rang, take credit for your first achievement!"
Xiahou Dun was immediately overjoyed.
He said this just waiting for Cao Cao to praise him.
"Thank you, King Wei. This is what I should do!"
Cao Cao waved his hand.
"There are rewards for merit and punishment for faults. Gu Yi always has clear rewards and punishments!"
"Xiahou Dun came forward to accept the reward!"
Xiahou Dun quickly walked out of the queue and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.
"Now Xiahou Dun is granted the title of Marquis of Baligouzi Township!"
"Thank you, King Wei, for your generous gift!"
Xiahou Dun accepted the reward with twitching eyes.
Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and ordered again,
"Yuan Rang, we must accelerate the equipment of the cavalry and heavy cavalry armor! You must see the results in the shortest possible time!"
"Don't worry, King Wei! Everything is taken care of by me!"
Xiahou Dun patted his chest and made a vow.
The Qin army was defeated, and the heavy cavalry showed its might, giving Cao Cao and his subordinates hope of returning to the world's largest military force.
However, there is one exception.
Military advisor Guo Jia.
"Fengxiao, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Guo Jia was not excited, Cao Cao took the initiative to ask.
"King Wei, I don't understand why Liu Zhang handed over the armor to Liu Bei at this juncture when he clearly wanted to attack Jingzhou? Doesn't he know how lethal cavalry can be to infantry in land battles?"
"Hi..."
Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently.
"Fengxiao, Liu Zhang is extremely hypocritical, and he has always cherished his reputation. He will not bear the reputation of not keeping his word!"
"It's not like Gu, just make it clear that you would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me!"
Guo Jia's eyes twitched, and he admired Cao Cao for being so thick-skinned.
It is true that not everyone can say such shameless words like bold words.
"King Wei, I always feel that there is something fishy about these armors..."
During this period, Guo Jia found countless craftsmen and explored countless times.
But the result is the same every time.
These armors are impeccable in terms of materials, industry, and quality.
At least it is a rare thing that Wei State cannot make at present.
Equipping the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also greatly increases the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Including King Cao Cao of Wei, more and more people are obsessed with iron armor.
Until this time, Liu Bei's heavy cavalry and armor defeated the Qin army, completely dispelling all doubts.
It can be said that no one doubts it except Guo Jia.
"Fengxiao, I understand your concerns, but facts have proven that there is nothing wrong with the armor. Is it possible that Liu Zhang will still make fun of his soldiers?"
In other words, the person who raised the question was Guo Jia, otherwise Cao Cao would have been too lazy to respond.
"This time Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang made the illusion that Jingzhou was empty to lure Liu Zhang into being fooled. This should have been a victory for the big-eared thieves. It's just that the heavy cavalry and iron armor showed off."
"I hope so."
Guo Jia nodded slightly.
Even he can't be too forceful about this kind of thing without any evidence.
The first to bear the brunt was Xiahou Dun.
Repeatedly raising questions had long aroused Xiahou Dun's dissatisfaction.
Cao Cao patted Guo Jia on the shoulder.
"Fengxiao, since the news of Liu Bei's victory with his cavalry came, the aristocratic families under Gu's command have stopped a lot!"
"Money, food, soldiers and other materials have been donated one after another! It seems that they have understood that Gu Buri will soon return to the position of the world's number one combat force!"
"Congratulations to King Wei!"
Guo Jia, who is in charge of intelligence, knows these things very well.
Especially the Central Plains aristocrats are much more honest than before.
The taxes paid were more than five times more than when they were defeated!
It can be said that Cao Cao is now rich again.
"Hahaha, if this continues, in a year or two at most, Gu's strength will be back to what it was before the Southern Expedition!"
Everyone raised their hands in congratulations.
"Congratulations to King Wei, for returning to the top of the world!"
"Hahaha, good! This is not all the work of one person, but the result of the joint efforts of everyone!"
"Call me the order, I will hold a banquet today to celebrate with everyone!"
If the taxes are high, the pockets will be full.
Cao Cao no longer has to worry about whether he has a good meal or not.
Moreover, there is no need to pay back the one million stones of grain and grass borrowed from Qin.
It can be said that there is no pressure.
"Thank you, King Wei, for your generous gift!"
"Okay, gentlemen, please go back and have some rest for the time being. Come to the Prince of Wei's Mansion for a banquet tonight!"
"As you command!"
Everyone bowed their hands and resigned.
Cao Cao stepped forward and left Guo Jia behind.
"Fengxiao, please wait a moment."
After everyone left and only two people were left, Cao Cao spoke again.
"Fengxiao, I heard that Liu Zhang mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to go to Hetao. He is like a bastard trying to get a weight!"
There was so much noise in the Hetao that Bingzhou Governor's Office reported urgently three times a day.
It was difficult for Cao Cao to think clearly.
"Indeed, Liu Zhang is determined to build this city."
"I heard that in order to ensure smooth operation, Liu Zhang transferred all 50,000 Chinese troops under his command. Moreover, Zhao Yun, the top general on the Tianbang, is personally in charge!"
Guo Jia's words are also what worries Cao Cao.
"Fengxiao, are we just watching and doing nothing?"
Guo Jia smiled and regained his confidence.
"King Wei, don't worry, let Liu Zhang build it."
"One day he will discover that these cities are the tombs he has built for himself leading to destruction!"
