Han counter current

"No, according to the order of the prime minister, our troops have been standing firm within the ten-mile range." Hu Che'er bit a piece of meat, tore it off, and began to chew.

"Hahaha, this idiot, who knows where he got the meat, I think this guy may be crazy hungry, he slaughtered his mount and ate it."

Cao Hong never forgot to look for an opportunity to satirize Hu Che'er. In terms of force, Hu Che'er would not lose much to him. Take advantage.

"That's right, I was really hungry, so I killed the horse to satisfy my hunger."

Hu Che'er seemed to take the slaughter of war horses very ordinaryly. While talking, he had already gnawed off the pieces of meat on the bone stick, and then he began to chew the bones.

"What, you, are you joking?" Cao Hong opened his eyes wide, as if he saw a peerless idiot: "Is it a wounded horse or a dead horse?"

"I can't even afford to eat, how can there be extra food and grass to feed the war horses."

Hu Che'er's teeth are very good, and I don't know if the bone stick has been cooked soft, but he actually gnawed a bone: "It's a waste to see these war horses starving and thin. It's better to kill them and eat them early."

"You, you, you stupid pig, you."

Cao Zhang couldn't help cursing, how precious war horses are, and now the three major horse production bases in the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to transport the war horses from Xiliang, and Bingzhou can't get war horses from the grassland, Youzhou and Youzhou Grassland There are multiple forces occupying it.

It was very difficult to get war horses. If it wasn't for Chen Feng's ability to transport thousands of war horses to Yanzhou from other sources, Cao Cao would not be able to reorganize the tiger and leopard cavalry, let alone expand the cavalry.

Zhang Xiu retained more than 1 war horses after surrendering to Cao Cao because of his accumulation in the early years and the fact that some of his subordinates were good at raising war horses.

But he couldn't afford so much, so he could only distribute the war horses to meritorious soldiers and let the soldiers support themselves.And these soldiers also regard war horses as valuable as their own lives. After all, on the battlefield, only war horses and comrades in arms are their most reliable helpers.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao couldn't take the horses from these Xiliang soldiers, unless he took the horses and men together.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for these Xiliang Army soldiers who loved horses like their lives to sell their war horses.But Zhang Xiu is very prestigious in these old ministries, and Cao Cao has not been able to get away many of these war horses so far.

But now, this Xiliang warrior, the tall and powerful Hu Che'er, actually said to kill horses to satisfy his hunger, and he said it so casually, Cao Zhang wondered if this guy was fooled by his uncle Cao Hong last time .

"Are you kidding me?"

Cao Zhang didn't believe that the opponent would really slaughter the horses, maybe it was just a few horses that were killed or disabled in battle, after all, horses were too important for cavalry and generals.

"Come with me." Hu Che'er didn't bother to pay attention to them. It seemed that what attracted him most now was the bone stick in his hand. As he led the way, he broke open the bone stick and sucked the bone marrow inside.

"Look for yourself, I didn't get much prey today, so I have to slaughter the horses again."

In the distance, several topless Xiliang athletes were holding down a strong horse. This Xiliang horse was too powerful, and it was difficult for them to subdue it together.

"Quick, don't let it run away, or there will be nothing to eat."

Seeing the horse break free from the restraints of several soldiers, Hu Che'er hurried forward and grabbed the horse, and then carried the frantic horse to the cauldron.

"don't want,,,,,,"

Seeing Hu Che'er stabbing into the main artery of the war horse, Cao Zhang and Cao Hong yelled out almost at the same time. They thought Hu Che'er was just doing it for them to see.

After all, the war horse didn't look injured at all when it was running just now, so Cao Zhang and the others were convinced that Hu Che'er was just saying that on purpose, but the scene before them proved that their thinking was wrong.

Dark red blood gushed out, and the horse that fell on the ground was twitching continuously. The wooden barrel and iron pan were filled with horse blood, and as the blood flowed out, the horse stopped its last struggle.

"What did you say you don't want?" Hu Che'er clapped his hands and walked over and asked, "I was too busy just now, so I didn't hear clearly, please say it again."

"You, you, let me ask you, is this war horse disabled?"

Cao Zhang grabbed Hu Che'er's clothes. He was already a tall man, but he was still a head shorter than Hu Che'er, but this didn't stop him from getting angry.

"There is no disability. If there is a disability, I can still live to this day."

Hu Che'er's martial arts may not be superb, but in terms of strength, I'm afraid few people can surpass him, let alone Cao Zhang, whose strength has not yet reached its peak. Even if he is Cao Cao's son, Hu Che'er is still a general push it away.

"Then what hidden disease or disease does this war horse have?"

"No, I don't dare to eat it yet."

"Such a good war horse, do you know how expensive it is to sell outside, it's hard to buy a hundred gold, do you know how much a hundred gold is?

You stupid pig, do you know that such a war horse can be sold for a lot of money even on the grassland, let alone the Central Plains where there is a shortage of war horses, you, you stupid pig..."

"So what, there is an order in the army not to sell war horses privately, that is to say, these war horses must not be sold to others unless they die in battle."

Hu Che'er didn't care about Cao Zhang's roar at all: "I can't sell it, but I have to feed it. Lao Tzu's soldiers are starving to death. What are these beasts doing? Of course they can only be killed."

"Pig, pig, you are really a pig. Tell me, when did you start killing horses? How many horses have you killed?" Cao Zhang felt that he couldn't communicate with this guy, he seemed to only know how to eat.

"It's been a few days, and it seems that more than 500 horses have been slaughtered in total. I can't figure it out, but it's quite a lot anyway.

Look over there, the horse hides are all hanging there, the war horses can’t be sold, but the horse hides seem to be sold, I don’t know how long these war horses can last..."

Cao Zhang didn't listen to the words behind. In the distance, there were pieces of complete horse skins hanging there. He hadn't seen them clearly just now. Now that he looked carefully, he realized that they were really horse skins. Some of them were still dripping with blood. Look at them. So it was slaughtered not long ago.

"Forget it before, we have shipped food today, why do you want to slaughter the horses?"

Cao Hongqi's eyes were red. From his point of view, these horses will soon belong to him. In other words, Hu Che'er killed his horses. How could he bear it.

"Oh, yes, you have brought food and grass, why didn't I expect that we have food to eat, it seems that we don't have to kill horses for the time being, but this is the general's order, do you want to report to the general... ,"

"Where is General Zhang Xiu? I want to see him. I have something important to discuss with him. The grain and grass have already arrived. You don't want to slaughter the horses any more. Do you hear that..."

Cao Zhang felt that it would be better for him to discuss with Zhang Xiu. It would be a waste of time to reason with this idiot in front of him.

"Healing in the big tent, let me take you there, uh, you guys, cook the horses, no, let's dry them first, we have food now, and there are a few horses that haven't been killed, let's dry them together, ,,,,,"

"Don't kill, take me to see General Zhang Xiu, otherwise, you will be at your own risk, don't kill the horse..."

Chapter 130 Seeking a way out 2

"General Zhang, General Zhang,,,,,,"

Cao Zhang yelled a few times, and the sickly man in front of him was pale and breathing unevenly, as if he might die at any moment.

It was difficult for Cao Zhang to connect this patient with Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North. Last time, in order to save him, this man dared to single-handedly attack Zhang Fei's cavalry formation.

He even fought against Zhang Fei for dozens of rounds. Such a fierce man is now lying on the bed unable to move.

"Who, who is here, didn't you say don't disturb my rest,,,,,,"

Zhang Xiu opened his eyes slightly, there were several people standing inside the tent, and all of them were tall, blocking the light from the entrance of the big tent.

"It's General Cao Zhang and Cao Hong who are here." Hu Che'er quickly explained: "General, they have brought food and grass. For ten days' food and grass, we don't have to slaughter the horses for the time being."

"It's the two generals, help me up quickly."

Zhang Xiu barely struggled a few times, and with the help of Hu Che'er, he could only lie on the bed halfway. It seemed that it was difficult for him to stand up in his current state.

"General Zhang, why are you so sick? Didn't the medical officer say last time that you can rest for two months? Why now, this..."
