Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

"Ding, the system has detected that the host is facing a choice and now offers the following three options."

"Choose one, verbally support Cao Cao and you'll receive 5,000 packs of instant noodles!"

"Choose two. Strongly recommend Cao Cao to send troops and request to accompany him. You will receive 5,000 steamed buns!"

"Choose three, volunteer to lead your own troops against Gao Gan and conquer Bingzhou. You'll receive five thousand double stirrups!"

Accompanied by the sound of the system.

It echoed in Cao Zhi's mind.

Cao Zhi was stunned at first.

Then I decisively gave up options one and two.

The current situation.

Whether it is instant noodles or steamed buns.

None of them can solve the problem.

As for option three – double stirrups!

After seeing this reward.

Cao Zhi only felt his heart beating violently.

……

Before traveling through time, Cao Zhi had read many time-travel novels.

The protagonists who traveled back to the Qin and Han dynasties.

All of them invented the stirrup and promoted the development of cavalry.

Originally Cao Zhi came here after traveling through time.

I thought stirrups had not been invented in this era.

But later I found out that stirrups already existed in this era, but they were single stirrups.

The single stirrup was originally used mainly to help riders get on and off horses, and its function was relatively simple.

During riding, the rider can only get temporary support on one foot, so the rider's stability on the horse's back is extremely poor.

Especially when the horse is running fast, stopping suddenly, turning, etc., it is difficult for the rider to maintain balance and it is easy to fall off the horse's back.

Because it cannot provide stable support for the rider during riding, the rider needs to spend a lot of experience and physical strength to maintain body balance.

This limits their ability to use weapons on horseback, affecting the power, accuracy and frequency of their attacks.

In addition, because a single stirrup does not provide sufficient support for the rider's legs, both riders need to keep squeezing the horse's body tightly to maintain balance during long rides.

This can cause leg muscle fatigue and soreness, making it impossible for the rider to march for long periods of time.

Moreover, the single stirrup requires extremely high riding skills from the rider, so it will cost more resources and time to train a cavalryman.

……

All of the above are restrictions imposed on riders by single stirrups.

This also means that training a cavalryman requires a lot of time and money.

Because of this, the various princes at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The number of cavalry at hand will not be large.

But now it's different.

Once double stirrups became popular.

Then the cost of training a cavalryman will be greatly reduced.

And cavalry using double stirrups.

When marching, you don't need to spend most of your energy on keeping the horse still.

Their main energy can be used to fight the enemy in battle.

One's strength will not be greatly reduced just because he is on a warhorse.

The invention of double stirrups was undoubtedly epoch-making!

……

Since double stirrups have so many advantages.

Cao Zhi naturally would not let it go.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhi made a decision in his heart.

"Father, I volunteer to go to war, kill Gao Gan, and recapture Bingzhou!"

Cao Zhi said in a deep voice.

Cao Zhi had just finished speaking.

The voice of the system appeared in Cao Cao Zhi's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for making your choice. 5,000 pairs of stirrups are now your reward!"

"Ding, the double stirrups have been distributed to the system space!"

"Cool!"

Cao Zhi was overjoyed.

……

"Fourth Young Master, what did you just say? You said you wanted to..."

Guo Jia asked tentatively.

"I said I would lead the army to fight, kill Gao Gan, and take back Bingzhou!"

Cao Zhi said seriously.

"Nonsense! Zijian, don't take advantage of your father's love for you and speak nonsense!"

Cao Cao said unhappily.

In his opinion, he had just made it clear that he had no troops on hand.

At this time, Cao Zhi stood up and said he would lead the troops to war.

What do you mean? Are you deliberately slapping yourself in the face?

Cao Cao knew that Cao Zhi was very smart and also knew that Cao Zhi was good at fighting.

But in the face of war, personal bravery can only take a back seat.

Even someone as strong as Lu Bu was killed by himself, wasn't he?

Cao Cao did not think that Cao Zhi would be stronger than Lu Bu!!

"Father, I can issue a military order!"

Cao Zhi said seriously.

As we all know, the military orders of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

The effect can only be triggered when encountering Ma Su.

Therefore, Cao Zhi was not afraid.

"You, brat, do you think you are your father, me, who can always turn danger into safety on the battlefield?"

Cao Cao was angry.

Looked at Cao Zhi in front of him.

Somehow.

Cao Cao thought of Cao Ang, the son who died on the battlefield because of his momentary confusion.

Therefore, when Cao Cao heard Cao Zhi say that he wanted to lead the troops to war, he was so angry.

……

Seeing Cao Cao furious, Cao Zhi refused to give in.

Guo Jia immediately stepped forward to smooth things over:

"Fourth Young Master, can you tell us why you want to go to war? Given that we are outnumbered, are you confident you can handle at least 50,000 cavalrymen?"

After hearing what Guo Jia said.

At this time, he was staring at Cao Zhi with anger.

It seemed to mean, "Let me see what you can do!"

"OK then……"

Cao Zhi spread his hands.

He knew that the stirrups had to be taken out at this time.

Cao Zhi used the excuse of returning to his mansion to get secret weapons.

Let Cao Cao and Guo Jia go to the martial arts training ground on the east side of Sikong Mansion and wait.

There's no other way. I can't take out the stirrups from the system in front of them.

……

After one stick of incense.

Cao Zhi rode his black horse to the martial arts field.

In order to let Cao Cao and the other two know the power of double stirrups.

Cao Zhi deliberately showed off his skills on horseback.

Performed various dangerous actions.

In addition, Cao Zhi shot three arrows in a row while moving at high speed.

Every arrow hits the bull's eye.

This scene stunned Guo Jia.

He knew that Cao Zhi was an excellent martial artist.

But unexpectedly, Cao Zhi's martial arts were so powerful!

When Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's confused look on his face, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Because I am the only one who knows the existence of the old man with white beard.

"Could it be that Zijian's martial arts were also taught by the old man with white beard?"

Cao Cao thought to himself.

"Father, Master Guo, these are double stirrups. With them, our cavalry can fight one against five, or even ten, on the battlefield..."

Cao Zhi smiled and introduced the two of them to the pair of stirrups.

It’s so magical to see Cao Zhi say this.

Cao Cao and the other two naturally didn't believe it.

But after trying it out yourself.

The two finally believed Cao Zhi's words.

"Zijian, how many stirrups like this do you have?"

Cao Cao suddenly said.

Thinking of Cao Zhi, he shouted loudly, "Issue a military order."

Cao Cao knew that there must be quite a few more with Cao Zhi.

"Fourth Young Master, you better think carefully before you speak!"

At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly said.

It is obvious that Guo Jia was reminding Cao Zhi.

To say less would have no effect on the war;

To put it bluntly, possessing weapons privately is a serious crime of treason.

"Thank you, Master Guo, for reminding me. My goal is to be the heir, not the Minister of Works!"

"Besides, if I really wanted to rebel, why would I say it now?"

Cao Zhi bowed to Guo Jia.

Then he looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile:

"No more, no less, I have exactly five thousand pairs of stirrups!"

"Please don't ask about the specific source, father!"

"But I can assure you, father, that with just these five thousand pairs of stirrups, I can slay the high-ranking officials and capture Bingzhou!"

After saying this.

Cao Zhi stared at Cao Cao intently.

Waiting for his response.

Cao Cao, after a moment's silence, laughed loudly and said:

"Since you've said so, how can I not agree?"
