When Xiang Qian returned to Cao Cao's main camp, Cao Cao had already chatted with Cai Yan and Cai Wenji about Cai Yong.
Cai Yan and Cai Wenji begged Cao Cao to send Xiang Qian to protect them when they returned to their homeland.
Cao Cao originally wanted to send someone else to protect Cai Yan and Cai Wenji when they returned to their hometown.
However, Cai Yan and Cai Wenji insisted that Cao Cao would send Xiang Qian to protect them!
"Xiang Qian is the bravest general under my command. In the future, when we deal with Dong Zhuo's number one general, Lu Bu, we will have to rely on Xiang Qian!"”
Cai Yan and Cai Wenji still insisted,"Duke Meng De, I only trust General Xiang. If it's anyone else, I won't trust them!
If Duke Meng De insists on having someone send me back, then I might as well follow General Xiang and live in his army!”
Cao Cao and Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, were good teachers and good friends. He was older than Cai Yan by more than ten years, so he treated Cai Yan as his niece.
He sighed deeply." How can this be? You're just a girl. If you live in the military camp, it will ruin your reputation!"”
Cai Yan bowed his head." Duke Meng De, I barely escaped death just now. General Xiang saved me. I only feel safe by following General Xiang!
I hope that Duke Meng De will help me out on account of my father!”
……
Cai Yan's stubborn personality had been through his entire life.
In the original time and space, Cai Yan's last husband, Dong Si, committed a capital crime. Cai Yan went to Cao Cao to plead for Dong Si.?
Cao Cao was entertaining the officials and celebrities. The weather was very cold at that time. Cai Yan's hair was disheveled and he was barefoot. He kowtowed and apologized. His words were clear and his emotions were sour and sorrowful. All the guests were moved.
But Cao Cao said,"But the punishment has been sent out, what should we do?"”
Cai Yan said," There are thousands of good horses in your stable, and countless brave soldiers. Are you still stingy with a fast horse to save a dying life?”
Cao Cao was finally moved by Cai Wenji and pardoned Dong Si.
……
Seeing Cai Yan so insistent, Cao Cao ordered someone to call Xiang Qian over,""Wen Jin, I sent you to escort Miss Cai to Chen Liu. I will give you five days, can you return?”
Cao Cao had expected that he would meet Dong Zhuo's Chief General Lu Bu in the future. Now, not only his own generals, but also the generals of the alliance army, no one was a match for Lu Bu, except Xiang Qian!
Therefore, Cao Cao hoped that Xiang Qian could go and return early so that he could be in time to fight Lu Bu!
Xiang Qian thought for a moment." Reporting to Ming Gong, if I have two horses per person, I will definitely be able to return in five days!”
……
The horse's short-distance high-speed sprinting ability was still very good. However, a horse's weakness was its lack of endurance. Under the condition of ensuring the safety of the horses, taking into account the endurance of the horses and other factors, a horse could run at most three to four miles a day. Any further and it would definitely not be able to run. However, after running for a day, the horse had to rest for a long time.
Moreover, after carrying the armored warriors for a period of time, they had to change their warhorses and let the original warhorses rest without carrying any weight. Otherwise, it would be easy for the warhorses to collapse!
This was why the nomads often brought three horses with them when they fought!
……
"I don't have any extra warhorses here!”Cao Cao said,"You might as well take only 400 cavalrymen to protect Miss Cai while the other 400 remain in the camp!"”
Xiang Qian shook his head." Ming Gong, from here to Chenliu City, thieves are rampant. However, 400 cavalrymen might not be enough. I'll go and borrow horses from other dukes!”
Among the various dukes, there were some who were close to the border grasslands and had many cavalry and warhorses under their command, such as Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng!
Cao Cao looked deeply at Xiang Qian.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to use this opportunity to do something to the Xiang Family Army.
However, he did not expect Xiang Qian to take everyone away.
Cao Cao could only helplessly say,"If Wen Jin can borrow 800 warhorses, then he will bring 800 cavalry."
If he couldn't borrow it, he would just take 400 people with him!”
Cai Yan and Cai Wenji noticed that the atmosphere between Cao Cao and Xiang Qian was very strange. It didn't feel like a lord and a subordinate.
Cao Cao had many things to discuss with Xiang Qian and could not give orders directly.
"Don't worry, Duke Ming. I will definitely be able to borrow 800 warhorses!”Xiang Qian turned around and left the tent.
Xiang Qian rode his horse to Ma Teng's camp!
In history, Ma Teng had never participated in the alliance against Dong Zhuo. He had even been in an alliance with Dong Zhuo for a time. After Dong Zhuo's death, Ma Teng had a conflict with Li Jue and Guo Si due to a dispute of interests. He had once led an army to attack Chang 'an, but unfortunately failed.
However, this was a time and space where history and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms were complicated. However, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was the main focus. Therefore, after Ma Teng received the denunciation to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he led 20,000 cavalrymen to take a detour from the grasslands, pass through Youzhou and Jizhou, and head south to the Wild Jujube Alliance!
They had brought a lot of warhorses. It could be said that as long as they were willing to lend them, they could still lend 800 warhorses!
However, Xiang Qian and Ma Teng had no contact at all, and Cao Cao and Ma Teng had no contact at all. How could he convince them?
Xiang Qian had just arrived at Ma Teng's camp when he bumped into two young generals.
One of them had a jade-like face, eyes like shooting stars, a tiger body, ape arms, and a wolf waist.
The other one had a face like powder and lips like red, looking much more delicate than the previous one!
The first young general held a spear in his hand and pointed it at the front of his neck. He asked,"Who are you? Why have you come to my Ma Family Army?"
The sooner you pass 5000!）
