Three Kingdoms: Damn Liu Daer, dare to steal my horse!

"Prime Minister, think about it carefully, why does Liu Bei have to take the people with him?"

"His real intention is actually to want these common people to become human shields for Liu Bei's army to resist our army."

Hearing this, Cao Cao froze for a moment, then frowned.

Bai Chuan sighed lightly:

"The prime minister is still the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. One day as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he must consider the people."

"It must not hurt the people, otherwise, it will hurt the hearts of the people."

"If the prime minister wants to pacify the south, the support of the people is indispensable. Without the support of the people, even if the whole south is captured, there will still be riots."

"And Liu Bei's strategy is for this."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes immediately.

Now, he understood everything.

This Liu Bei is really insidious!

At the beginning, Cao Cao really thought that Liu Bei was so stupid that he had to bring these 10,000+ people for his own reputation.

Marching with the people, or fleeing, this is simply a burden!

But now after what Bai Chuan said, after careful deliberation, how could it be so simple?

These civilians were mixed with the sergeants, and Cao Cao could not be sure whether his soldiers would harm the civilians if he ordered to hunt them down.

It is even said that even the people injured by Liu Bei's army will eventually be blamed on him!

Vicious, really vicious.

While increasing popular support for himself, he also took advantage of this to allow himself to stand on the moral high ground.

If Liu Bei is killed at this time, it will not only be Liu Bei who will be killed, but the hearts of the people.

In this way, even if the entire Jingxiang land is pacified, it will be difficult to control the situation.

Although Liu Cong surrendered without taking possession, he still has more than 30 Jingzhou soldiers in his hands!

So many soldiers are an unstable factor.

If they rioted, it would be very difficult for Cao Cao to deal with it for a while.

What's more, there is Sun Quan from Jiangdong in the distance!

"Can I just watch Liu Bei enter Jiangxia?"

Although he figured it out, Cao Cao was still unwilling.

With such a good opportunity, he could kill Liu Bei, but he couldn't do it himself.

If you let this opportunity go, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain!

However, Bai Chuan smiled indifferently:

"Prime Minister, don't worry, you will have to chase after him. It is impossible for us to do nothing."

Chapter No.17 The world is sharp, tigers and leopards ride!

"Appreciate further details."

Cao Cao also put down his wine glass and said solemnly.

This matter must not be sloppy!

Even if Liu Bei cannot be killed, he must be taught a lesson, or he cannot be allowed to succeed.

If he just sits and waits for Liu Bei to enter Jiangxia, at most he will not lose the hearts of the people, and the rest, except for a burnt Xinye City, will get nothing.

Although the burning of Xinye City was indeed ordered by Bai Chuan, even if Bai Chuan didn't burn it, Liu Bei's army would still burn it.

Moreover, it will be attributed to Cao Cao's pursuit in the end.

"This time, I will definitely send someone to chase after him."

"But Prime Minister, we are not going to hunt down Liu Bei, but to chase the people back."

Bai Chuan continued quietly:

"Soldiers are forbidden to kill, and when they see the people, they will come back."

"Liu Bei's army is small, and he doesn't care about all the people. After seeing a large number of our troops, he can only choose to flee."

"Bringing back the people will bring back the hearts of the people, and rebuilding Xinye City will definitely strengthen the hearts of the people in Jingzhou."

Hearing what Bai Chuan said, Cao Cao immediately nodded heavily:

"it is good!"

"Sir, what you said is wonderful!"

"This time we have to go after him, and not for Liu Bei's life, but to win back the hearts of the people!"

Even so, it can be clearly seen that Cao Cao is still very unwilling.

It's a pity that Liu Bei couldn't be killed with such a good opportunity.

The same is true for Bai Chuan, Bai Chuan wished to kill Liu Bei right now.

But it is not easy to kill Liu Bei alone, and it can also leave Liu Bei with a good reputation.

Bai Chuan's purpose is to expose Liu Bei's true face.

Destroying his persona in front of the people is more effective than killing him!

Bai Chuan knew very well in his heart that what Liu Bei used was actually Cao Cao's city massacre in Xuzhou back then.

It is precisely because of this that the people of Xinye are afraid and will be used by this so-called "benevolent" Liu Bei.

However, I can't say a word about Xuzhou.

As we all know, this Cao A concealed his mistakes and corrected them without admitting his mistakes. If he said it out, it would be even more impossible for him to gain Cao Cao's trust.

Although I helped Cao Cao win a big battle now, the mission still didn't show that Cao Cao trusted him.

This shows that Boss Cao has a deep obsession with Liu Daer.

It seems that I still have to make some serious predictions.

Thinking of this, Bai Chuan continued to speak:

"Prime Minister, in fact, the law of popular opinion that Liu Bei used is not unbreakable."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard the words:

"Sir, do you have a clever plan to break it?"

Bai Chuan smiled lightly and said:

"If the prime minister trusts it, you only need to give me two thousand soldiers and horses, and I will have my own way to break it."

Cao Cao smiled slightly when he heard the words:

"it is good!"

"How can I not trust sir?"

"If Mister is really sure, not to mention two thousand troops, even twenty thousand, I will agree!"

Bai Chuan smiled lightly:

"Prime Minister, don't worry, two thousand is enough."

"Excellent, excellent!"

Thinking that there is a way to deal with Liu Bei, Cao Cao suddenly felt better, and said in a low voice:

"Zihe!"

Hearing this, Cao Chun, who was drinking with Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others, was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and saluted:

"What is the prime minister's order?"

Cao Cao raised his hand to signal, Cao Chun will rush over.

Cao Cao laughed and said:

"Sir, let Zihe lead the army to chase Liu Bei with you this time, okay?"

Bai Chuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

Cao Chun?

Among the Cao Ying, the most special one is Cao Chun!

If it is other generals, they are just leading ordinary soldiers.

But who is Cao Chun?

Cao Chun is the commander-in-chief of the most core and elite tiger and leopard cavalry in the entire Cao army!

Tiger and Leopard Riders are divided into Tiger Riders and Leopard Riders.

Tiger cavalry, to put it bluntly, are heavy armored cavalry. They are all covered in armor, even the horse's legs are tightly wrapped. They are truly invulnerable. The only drawback is that due to the heavy armor, the marching speed is relatively slow.

The leopard cavalry is light armored cavalry, and its armor is definitely not as good as that of the tiger cavalry, which covers the whole body and is absolutely defensive.

However, in terms of speed, Leopard Cavalry is definitely one of the fastest arms in the entire Three Kingdoms.

After all, this tiger and leopard ride almost devoted all of Boss Cao's efforts and cost a lot of money to build it.

Until now, the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has only about 5000 people, and it has not expanded.

No matter how many Cao Ying soldiers there are, there will always be only 5000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Among tiger and leopard riders, human life is not as important as equipment.

If a Tiger or Leopard Cavalry was killed, the equipment would be recycled, and if it was broken, it would be repaired carefully by a craftsman, and then replaced with new ones.

And for such an important army, the commander is naturally the person Cao Cao can trust the most.

First of all, people other than the Cao clan don't want to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Even if it was Dian Wei back then, or Xu Chu today, who was so trusted by Cao Cao, he could only command the Tiger Guards, but not the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Bai Chuan vaguely remembered that in the entire history, there were only three commanders of tiger and leopard cavalry.

They are Cao Chun, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.

These three are Cao Cao's most trusted generals of the Cao family, and only they are qualified to command the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Therefore, just because he knew this, Bai Chuan never thought that Cao Cao would send tiger and leopard riders to chase Liu Bei with him.

Thinking of this, Bai Chuan immediately saluted and said:

"I'm afraid, I just want some ordinary soldiers."

"The tiger and leopard cavalry are the most powerful in the world. They should be the main force in chasing Liu Bei. How can they follow them?"

Cao Cao waved his hands and said:

"Don't worry, let Zihe take two thousand leopard riders with Mr. this time."

"The remaining three thousand tiger and leopard riders will be handed over to Zidan."

This Zidan is Cao Cao's adopted son Cao Zhen, whose name is Zidan.

Although Cao Zhen is not the general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry now, it is no problem for him to be the commander.

Seeing what Cao Cao said, Bai Chuan couldn't say anything, so he could only salute:

"In this case, there will be Laozi and the general."

Cao Chun just clasped his fists slightly to salute, and didn't say much.

Bai Chuan didn't care.

After all, Cao Chun, as the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry, is nothing to be arrogant.

As long as there is an order from Cao Cao, these soldiers still have to be dispatched by themselves.

However, Bai Chuan thought about it again, this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry might not just be as simple as doing things with him.

In fact, Boss Cao should still want to test himself once.
