Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In 231 A.D., the third year of Emperor Wu, Sun Quan and Huanglong, the first month.

"Snapped!"

Sun Quan slapped the wooden table with his palm, his palm was red, and the pain in his hand intensified the anger in his heart. His eyes widened, staring at Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi who were trembling at the bottom of the steps.

After Sun Quan came to the throne, he wanted to open up new lands and expand the power of Wu. Regardless of the obstruction of Lu Xun and Quan Cong, he insisted on looking for Yizhou and Danzhou, so he sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to search for Yizhou and Danzhou. However, in the end, nine out of ten soldiers died due to disease, and only thousands of aboriginals were brought back.

This made Sun Quan not angry, did nothing, and died of eight or nine thousand soldiers.

Sun Quan stared at the two of them viciously, and said in a cold voice: "Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi violated the edict, worked hard and hurt the people, and even returned without success. They will be imprisoned and executed to serve as an example to others."

After finishing speaking, he looked around everyone with fierce eyes, as if he was thinking about who would speak out to persuade them and kill them together.

Lu Xun hesitated for a while, sighed, and stood silently in the queue.

Zhuge Jin glanced at Zhuge Zhi, who was of the same clan, full of pity, but he could only keep silent.After all, Zhuge Jin has been in contact with Sun Quan for a long time, and Zhuge Jin knows Sun Quan's character. At this time, Sun Quan is angry, and no one stops him.

Sun Quan looked around and saw that no one objected, then looked at the two being dragged out, and couldn't help but snort.

Seeing that Sun Quan's anger had subsided, Zhuge Jin went out and clasped his hands and said, "My lord, the Wuxi barbarians in Jingzhou are rebelling, raging Wuling, Lingling and other counties, and all the counties ask for help. I hope the lord will send troops to quell the Wuxi barbarians."

Wuximan is called Wuximan because it lives by the five streams of Xiongxi, Xixi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi in Wuling.During the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Fubo Ma Yuan died in the conquest of Wuximan, and the Eastern Han Dynasty suppressed Wuximan several times later.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei sent Ma Liang to recruit the Wuxi Man for his own use, and the barbarian King Samoke led ten thousand people to help out. Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei in Yiling, and Samoke died in battle.Since then, Wuxi Man has been dissatisfied and often rebelled, and this rebellion is even more powerful.

Hearing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but have a headache, this Wuxi man is too difficult to deal with, not only refused to accept, but also has a very strong fighting capacity, much stronger than Shan Yue.

Sun Quan looked up at General Lu Xun and asked, "Bo Yan lives in Jingzhou, what do you think should be done?"

Lu Xun held a wat board in his hand and came out and said: "My lord, I believe that Wuxi barbarians must be eradicated. The army lives in Jingzhou and wants to attack the Wei Dynasty in the north. It is a problem in the elbow and armpit. You can send a large army to calm it, so as to avoid future troubles and take back its troops. Everyone, think that I am useful to the Great Wu."

Sun Quan pondered for a while, and said, "I don't know who can calm it down?"

Lu Xun thought for a while, and said: "I think Lv Cishi (Lv Dai) can lead an army northward from Jiaozhou to attack the Wuxi barbarians; while the direction of Jingzhou can be pacified by General Hussars (Bu Zhi) or by a humble minister."

Sun Quan stroked his beard and thought. Lu Dai served as the governor of Jiaozhou, which was very meritorious. For prestige.As for Lu Xun...

Sun Quan stopped stroking his beard, looked at Lu Xun, and said: "It is feasible for Duke Ding to lead Jiaozhou soldiers to go north to conquer, but Zishan (Buzhi) guarding Xiling is related to the border of the Three Kingdoms. There is something wrong in Yidu County, so we have to think about it. As for Boyan, he is a bit overqualified and useless."

Lu Xun looked up at Sun Quan, and said: "My lord, Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han conquered Liangzhou in the north, and Cao Zhen, the great Sima against the Wei Dynasty, died of illness. Cao Rui sent Sima Yi, the governor of Jingzhou, to go to Guanzhong to guard against the Shu Han. The new person has not yet arrived. At this time, there will be no changes in Jingzhou. Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid of against Wei."

"As for the direction of the Shu-Han, both countries withdrew their soldiers a few years ago to show their friendship. Zigui defender Chen Dao's white-eared soldiers were few, with more than enough defense and insufficient attack. Moreover, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, had not yet pacified Liangzhou in the north. Therefore, As far as Yu Han is concerned, nothing will happen."

Sun Quan nodded slightly, his tone was harsh, and he said sharply: "In this case, according to Bo Yan's words, order Lu Dai to lead an army of [-] troops from Jiaozhou to the north to attack the Wuling Man, and Bu Zhijie to lead Jingnan soldiers and horses, and lead an army of [-] troops to attack the Wuling Man from the south. .Tell the two that this battle must completely suppress the Wuxi Man."

"promise!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin again and asked, "How is the situation at Yanji Racecourse in Wuchang? Can the cavalry fight for it?"

In the Battle of Hefei, Sun Quan led an army of [-] soldiers and was scared away by Man Chong. He was deeply ashamed, and after learning from the pain, he attributed the defeat to the lack of cavalry in Soochow.He also believed that without established cavalry, he would not be able to continue field battles with the Wei army, and he did not dare to implement the strategy of enclosing points to fight for reinforcements. Therefore, after the war, he was very concerned about the Yanji Racecourse in Wuchang, and often asked about the progress.

The Yanji Racecourse was built when Sun Quan ascended the throne, and the war horses were purchased from Longyou horses of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty also sent the herdsman Niu Chong to assist Soochow in training the cavalry, and Zhuge Jin was responsible for all of this.

Zhuge Jin hesitated for a while, and said: "With the assistance of Shu Han officials, the training of three thousand knights is fast. Maybe this year they can form an army, but there are still insufficient horses, and the horses were also damaged during training."

Hearing this, Sun Quan frowned slightly, and said, "The racecourse has been built for more than a year, why are there still not enough horses?"

"My lord, when the racecourse was first built, there were more than a thousand war horses. In the past two years, there were often wars in Longyou, Shu Han, and the horses were often used for their own use. It was also difficult for the ministers to buy them. Therefore, during the two years, the Han only asked me Da Wu sells three thousand good horses."

Holding the wat board, Zhuge Jin complained.

"However, there are three thousand knights in the racecourse. According to the Han Muling Order, if the three thousand knights want to become elite, one person and two horses are enough. If they want to make a long-distance raid, one person needs three horses. Not enough."

Sun Quan stroked his beard for thought and said, "How many horses are needed in the racecourse to form an army?"

"My lord, our army does not need to make a long-distance attack, so I think that [-] knights and [-] horses are enough. According to this calculation, we need [-] horses."

The silent Prime Minister Gu Yong couldn't help but feel pain when he heard the words, [-] war horses are too many!

Calculated on the basis of five baht, at the beginning, a war horse of the Shu Han sold for one million yuan, but as the sales increased, and the Shu Han hoped that Sun Quan would send troops to help, the price dropped to about 700,000 a horse.But even so, buying [-] horses at one time is almost as high as more than [-] million yuan, so it doesn't hurt.

You know, when the Han Dynasty was in its heyday, the annual military expenditure was 23 billion yuan and 8 million shi grains.

But it's not too much if you really want to calculate it. After all, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, spent 1 million yuan to buy the Taiwei, and Cao Song also served as a Dahonghe and a Dasinong.It's no wonder that after Cao Cao defeated Xu Rong, he was able to recruit troops and recruit thousands of soldiers from Danyang.

The silent Gu Yong came out and said: "Your Majesty, please exchange it with grain or other things or mines to save the treasury."

Gu Yong knew what was going on with the great Wu family, but how could Sun Quan not know!
Sun Quan gritted his teeth, looked at Zhuge Jin, and said, "Ziyu, send an envoy to Shu to congratulate the Shu Han on their victory in the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou, and discuss with the Shu Han the purchase of [-] war horses to reduce the cost of horses as much as possible."

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan was even more envious of the Shu Han not only having the Shu Brocade, but also having such resources as war horses.You don't have to wear Shu brocade, but you have to buy this war horse.

"promise!"

Zhuge Jin's face was calm, and he cupped his hands and said: "Three thousand cavalry soldiers are about to form an army, and please give the name of the army."

Sun Quan stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, and said: "It can be called Ma Xian, Ma Xian's army!"

The dragon horse and the idle horse taken by the horse idle; these two names are also the cavalry supervisors of the Han Dynasty!
"promise!"
