At this time, the cold wind was blowing, and Cao Chong was wearing a pro-woven brocade robe sent by Xin Xianying from Xu Du, and a white fox fur was put on his neck, which looked good.
Beside Cao Chong, standing were Zhuge Liang, Zhou Budo and others, while Zhou Dufu was riding a horse, patrolling around Cao Chong's car.
With Cao Chong as the center, there are three layers of soldiers inside and three layers outside, and a large number of soldiers are like dense ants, completely covering Cao Chong's car.
This army has 30,000 or 40,000 people, of which 30,000 are the troops of the four counties of Jingnan, and the other is close to 10,000 people, which are the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu before, plus the remnants of Cao Chong's nearby collection, the tiger and leopard cavalry needless to say, it is definitely an important combat force, and although these remnants are soldiers, they are all good at following Liu Bei to the south and north, and some of them are even Danyang soldiers Since ancient times, Danyang has produced elite soldiers "Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good martial arts, noble strength, and the land of elite soldiers" In other words, it means that Danyang is poor and bad, and the people are fierce, so they can produce elite soldiers.
The Danyang soldiers collected by Cao Chong were the Danyang soldiers that Liu Bei was scattered, speaking of which, this Danyang soldier was given to Liu Bei by Tao Qian during Liu Bei's Xuzhou period.
With these Danyang soldiers, Liu Bei was able to go south and north, unscrupulous.
The heroic story of Danyang soldiers has several strong strokes in history: In the Western Han Dynasty, the 5,000 dead soldiers under the famous general Li Ling, that is, the Danyang soldiers, when Li Ling attacked the Xiongnu, he fought against the Xiongnu with 5,000 people and 80,000 elite cavalry, and tried his best to fight to the death in the case of no reinforcements, and finally only 400 people were left to withdraw to the pass, the commander Li Ling was forced to surrender, and the deputy marshal Han Yannian died in battle.
With the courage of the Huns, five thousand Danyang soldiers were able to make Shan Yu frightened, almost retreating, and finally found out that Li Ling had no help before he dared to attack, and the Danyang soldiers were good at fighting.
And these Danyang soldiers, Cao Chong has a full 500 people Five hundred may seem like a small number, but it is a lot.
Later, in the battle against Jin by Shen Ying, the Danyang Taishou of Wu State, he only led more than 500 Danyang soldiers, with green scarves tied on their heads and only holding giant hammers.
Charged to the positions of the Jin army several times and broke through the strong defense of the Jin army.
The courage of the Danyang soldiers is terrifying.
So in fact, in terms of the composition of Cao Chong's army, it can be regarded as elite in this era, and there are not many teams that can match Cao Chong's team.
Not every unit has tigers and leopards, tiger riders, and Danyang soldiers.
The sun was high, but there was a warm feeling, and Cao Chong reached out to the stove in front of him to make his hand a little better.
The living conditions of the civilians of the Three Kingdoms are worrying, but a noble son like Cao Chong is not such a situation, and the situation can be regarded as luxurious, even extravagant.
In terms of the car under Cao Chong, the huge car under Cao Chong is difficult to buy.
In this car is iron and gold casting, between the iron and gold, there is a mezzanine, there are some copper wires in it, under the car drive, there is also a charcoal stove, so that the bottom of the car is soft as spring.
This was a gift from the Changsha family to Cao Chong, and Cao Chong was also short of a car driver at that time, so he accepted it.
With this car, although Cao Chong can feel the wind and frost outside, the heat inside is constantly counteracting these chills.
Sure enough, the exploiting class suffers very little Cao Chong shook his head, expelled these thoughts from his mind, and looked at the outside world through the window.
After several hours of marching, Cao Chong could even hear the sound of the sparse water, as well as the fishy smell that could not dissipate on the shore, Cao Chong knew that the Yangtze River was beside him, and Xiakou was also in front of him.
The gate of the Xiakou camp was opened, and there was a dense group of armored sergeants standing outside, led by a middle-aged man, he was burly, with clear water chestnuts on his face, but under his eyes, there was some light of wisdom, and it was precisely because of these eyes that he added a lot of elegant atmosphere, not Zhang Liao, who was it Behind Zhang Liao, there is a relatively thin figure, it is Long Zhi, Long Zhi's complexion is different from that of some Central Plains people, as if he has some southern barbarian looks, and he looks a little unruly, but his eyes look at the upcoming car, and the respectful look on his face is not much less than that of others.
Behind Long Zhi, there are a general, some of them are burly, and some of them have eyes full of wisdom, but looking at the upcoming car, the look of admiration in their eyes can't be hidden.
In this car, it was Cao Qigongzi who was sitting, but it was Cao Qigongzi who turned the tide There is a legend of Cao Chong in the army, and Cao Chong is a good propagandist, but in a few days, he spread his "great achievements", and now not only the people of Cao Ying know their reputation, but even Jiangdong also knows that Cao Chong is a person in Cao Ying.
Grunt The axle rolled, the wheel rolled on the ground, and soon stopped in front of Zhang Liao and others.
Gao Yi rode a tall horse, and at this time quickly jumped down and lay on the ground, as if he was going to use his back to Cao Chong as a ladder to get off the car.
Cao Chong lifted the curtain and saw such a look of Gao Yi, but the brows on his face were wrinkled.
"Qu Wei is my Cao Chong's humerus, how can it be used as a stepping foot" After Cao Chong said this, Gao Yi was both ashamed and a little moved in his heart, ashamed that he didn't understand Cao Chong and understood the wrong meaning of Cao Chong, and was moved that Cao Chong regarded himself as his own person and his right and left hand.
The so-called death of a confidant, Gao Yi was moved, but his loyalty to Cao Chong was on a higher level.
Cao Chong got out of the car under Gao Yi's hand, and Zhang Liao and the others immediately bowed to Cao Chong.
"The last general meets the middle general" As mentioned earlier, Zhonglang General was originally an official position that could be high or low, but no matter how high the official position was, it was still a lot lower than Zhang Liao's Dangkou General, but Zhang Liao saluted himself, the meaning of which is naturally self-evident, although Cao Chong had long known Zhang Liao's intentions, but there was still joy on his face that could not be concealed.
This is the person who said that he was Cao Chong in front of people.
Cao Chong and Zhang Liao often exchanged letters before, Cao Chong's intentions Zhang Liao understood in his heart, and Zhang Liao's ideals, Cao Chong also knew, the two cherished each other, and naturally came together, but Zhang Liao showed his attitude in front of everyone, which still made Cao Chong happy.
In other words, in the future, in the court and in the army, his foundation will be much deeper.
Most of the Cao troops stationed in Xiakou are Zhang Liao's henchmen, plus the 40,000 people in Cao Chong's hands, the total is almost 100,000, but in Xiakou, the garrison in Jiangdong is only 70,000, and in terms of numbers, Cao Chong actually has an advantage in this regard.
Cao Chong's eyes flickered, and at the same time as he was calm, it also meant that Cao Cao's first move had started, and the second move was also being carried out in an orderly manner
