Chapter 764 Cao Cao's Triumph!
After that, when Wang Jian led his troops to attack the State of Zhao, Yang Duanhe was ordered to attack the State of Wei.
He conquered four cities effortlessly, but then came to a standstill.
However, the following year, he joined forces with Wang Ben and conquered the State of Wei in one fell swoop.
It can be said that Yang Duanhe made outstanding contributions in both the campaigns against Wei and Zhao.
So, here's the question: why did Yang Duanhe disappear during the reign of Qin Er Shi?
The reason is simple: he had no intention of serving Qin Er Shi!
Not only him, but also a number of famous generals such as Li Xin, Wang Ben, and Xin Sheng harbored resentment towards Qin Er Shi and were unwilling to serve him.
As a result, Qin Er Shi had very few generals left to rely on, and could only depend on Zhang Han and Wang Li.
It must be said that if the First Emperor of Qin were still alive, he would have had a wealth of talented generals at his disposal!

Ying Zheng then ordered his men to prepare logistics.
After all, war is all about logistics.
At the same time, he replied in the group chat.
[Ying Zheng: Qianhe, I've already made the arrangements. Zhang Han will lead 200,000 Qin troops north to destroy the remnants of the six states. Is there anything else I need to arrange?]
Everyone else who was still chatting in the group stopped.
Cao Cao replied with a smile.
Cao Cao: Your Majesty, if you require the might of my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I can assist you!
He had great confidence in his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
The Records of the Three Kingdoms states that Chun commanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, all of whom were the most valiant and fierce in the land, and some were promoted from the rank of centurion!
It can be said that this was Cao Cao's most elite team!
[Ying Zheng: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? What are those?]
Cao Cao: Haha, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is divided into "Tiger Cavalry" and "Leopard Cavalry." Tiger Cavalry are heavy cavalry, while Leopard Cavalry are light cavalry. Tiger Cavalry are equipped with rare horse armor, and both riders and horses are fully armored. When they charge, their armor "shines brightly in the sun," making them extremely intimidating.
Cao Cao didn't say the whole thing.
He didn't want Liu Bei and Lü Bu in the group to know.
Because he was later equipped with Mingguang armor, which provided protection comparable to "tanks in the era of cold weapons".
Liu Bei was unaware of this.
When Liu Bei attacked Cao Cao, Cao Cao had not yet assembled the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was formed after the Battle of Guandu.
Liu Bei rose to power during Cao Cao's time at Guandu. When Cao Cao was being defeated by Liu Bei, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was still in its infancy.
After all, warhorses had to be imported from the Northwest and Northeast, and the price of one horse was equivalent to that of a modern tank!
It's safe to say that Liu Bei in the group didn't see the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
I don't know if he later uniformly equipped himself with the Bright Light Armor.
After all, Cao Cao at this time was Cao Cao after 207 AD!
...........................
If you ask why there weren't Tiger and Leopard Cavalry or such a powerful Tiger and Leopard Cavalry during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expeditions later on.
Haha, the veterans from Cao Cao's time gradually died out, and the quality of the new recruits was not as good as their predecessors. In addition, Cao Pi may have reorganized them into the Imperial Guard or disbanded them.
So that's it.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry reached its peak during Cao Cao's reign!
After all, only Cao Cao was willing to invest heavily in his troops!
[Ying Zheng: Oh? That powerful?]
[Lu Bu: Hmph, are they trying to copy my Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry?]
Cao Cao: Indeed, they've learned from your Bingzhou wolf cavalry!
He was indeed terrified by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at the time, which is why he made up his mind to form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
It can be said that he was in no way inferior to the Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
After all, his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already wiped out the Mongol cavalry in the Southern Song Dynasty!
With the equipment from the Song Dynasty, his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was even stronger!
[Ying Zheng: I see. It seems they are no less formidable than my Qin cavalry!]
Cao Cao: Haha, Your Majesty the First Emperor flatters me!
Although they all called themselves emperors, the First Emperor was the first emperor, and his descendants still respectfully addressed him as His Majesty!
[Xiang Yu: Hmph! Not so great!]
Cao Cao: Ha! You can't even handle Liu Bang, and you're talking big?
[Xiang Yu: How dare you!]
[Cao Cao: What, you dare not?]
[Lu Bu: Yes, Mengde, curse him! Damn it! We're all from the Eastern Han Dynasty, we can't back down from him!]
Cao Cao: Sure, sure, but he wants to duel me. Fengxian, you'd better help me!
[Lu Bu: Of course, of course! My halberd is itching for battle!]
Liu Bei: .....
[Xiong Ba: .....]
[Guo Jing:...]
