Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 350
Yuan Chuan.

After months of siege by Helian Bobo, the capital of the Western Qin Dynasty was finally captured.All the gold and silver belongings in it were transported to Tongwan City by Helianbobo, and the residents were also moved away by Helianbobo.

The lord of the Western Qin Dynasty, Qifu Chipan, can be regarded as a wise lord, but he was still not enough in the face of Helian Bobo's size, and he was defeated in the end.

"Take down Western Qin and unify the Northwest. We will have the power to fight Liu Song!"

Helian Bobo was in a good mood at this time.

First annexing the army of Datan Khan, and now attacking West Qin, Hu Xia's combat power rapidly expanded!

As long as this part of resources can be digested smoothly, Hu Xia's military power will reach a whole new level!

At that time, if Guanzhong can be conquered, and the power of Qin swept across the north before, it will definitely be able to forge the eternal foundation of the Huns!

Just when He Lianbo was thinking about when he could attack Liu Song, a secret report was delivered to him silently.

Seeing this, Helian Bobo's original good mood was instantly clouded.

"The Tuoba clan secretly sent a maid to the Military Weapons Supervisor to find out the news, and learned that Liu Song is going to develop armored cavalry now!"

There are also some details that are nine points true and one point false are also written in the letter, which adds a lot of authenticity.

"Emperor Song was furious when he heard that, and executed the maid Ling Chi, disbanded and murdered all the maids around Tuoba, and ordered his own people to put Tuoba under house arrest."

"Furthermore, there are countless officials and imperial troops affected by this incident. Even Fu Hongzhi, the dignified Zhenxi general, was stripped of his general title..."

Just looking at the letter, it seems that Liu Song Chaotang has experienced a huge storm, and the Emperor Liu Song was furious by the leak of secrets, and vented his anger on the people around him.

"not only that."

Helianbo and other intelligence personnel told him another piece of news——

"Emperor Liu Song seems to be using domestic iron ore and weapons, so the output of weapons smuggled to Hu Xia this time is not as good as one-third of last time!"

After a few messages, Helian Bobo has roughly confirmed the accuracy of the information.

"Tuoba Tao, I really want to thank that little guy."

"Armored cavalry..."

He Lianbo kept chanting these four words, and his brows gradually knit together.

He couldn't understand the power of armored cavalry!

Because he has seen it!
In the heyday of the former Qin Dynasty, there was an armored cavalry that was invincible and invincible.

A small part of them was taken to the Western Regions by Lu Guang, the former Qin general at the time. In the Battle of Kucha, the Yanhu forces at that time were smashed in one fell swoop, and the Western Regions were brought back into the rule of the Central Plains forces.

Most of them were obtained by the Later Qin, who inherited the heritage of the former Qin Dynasty, and the Later Qin also took advantage of this horse to march northwest, forming a situation of standing up against the Northern Wei and Eastern Jin.

At that time, Helian Bobo was still working in the post-Qin state, and the heavy armored cavalry left an indelible impression on him!

I thought that with the death of Hou Qin, this nightmare army would never appear again.

Unexpectedly, Liu Song actually planned to revive this invincible teacher!
"No! Absolutely not!"

In front of the armored cavalry, in front of the crushing iron hooves, all defenses are futile!
"We also want to have armored cavalry!"

Helianbo still made this decision after careful consideration.

"The cavalry is the foundation of our existence. If the Han people in the south can easily eliminate our cavalry, then we will have no advantage over them!"

The fact that the Hu people outside the Great Wall have been able to suppress the Central Plains Dynasty is nothing more than the military advantage of the cavalry.

If this advantage is gone, how can Hu Xia compare with Liu Song?
Therefore, Hu Xia must engage in equipped cavalry!
Even better than Liu Song!

"Help me contact Chigan Ali, gather all the craftsmen! Gather all the steel! Gather the extra weapons!"

"Liu Yi really wants to crack our advantage in cavalry? Hmph! Dreaming!"

Hu Xia's various actions were also probed by Liu Song and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Liu Yizhen knew that the latter was hiding in the Hall of Liangyi and rolled all over the floor laughing, while Tuoba Tao was facing the same predicament as Helian Bobo.

After Tuoba Tao divided the Rou with Hu Xia, he followed Cui Hao's plan to attack Beiyan eastward, hoping to expand the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

On the way to attack Beiyan, Tuoba Tao's monstrous military talent was gradually revealed.

He first marched to Rushui, and then asked Xi Jin to enlist more than ten thousand people from the Dingling tribe in Miyun to transport attack tools, go out of the South Road, and join forces in Longcheng, the capital of Yan.

During this period, Li Chong, the prefect of Shicheng County in Beiyan, and other ten counties surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After that, Tuoba Tao sent more than 3 people to dig a moat to trap Yandu.

Feng Hong, the lord of the Northern Yan Kingdom, sent tens of thousands of people out of the city, but they were all killed by the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and tens of thousands fled.

Northern Yan Shangshu Gao Shao led more than ten thousand families to protect Qiang Hu Gu, and Tuoba Tao attacked Longcheng and beheaded him.

Afterwards, a series of important towns in Beiyan, such as Daifang, Jiande, and Jiyang, were breached, which also marked Beiyan's complete death at the hands of Tuoba Tao.

Since then, after the Northern Wei Dynasty lost Hebei, it finally expanded its territory again, occupying the six counties of Yingqiu, Chengzhou, Liaodong, Lelang, Daifang, and Xuantu, and gained [-] people.

Cui Hao suggested that Tuoba Tao rest and recuperate to prepare for the subsequent counterattack on Hebei.And Tuoba Tao has always been kind and willing to stop fighting.

It's just that after getting the news from Hu Xia and Liu Song, Tuoba Tao couldn't sit still anymore.

"Father!"

"Armored cavalry! Our country must also engage in it!"

This made Cui Hao, who was in charge of the logistics of the people's livelihood in the Northern Wei Dynasty, look embarrassed, and dissuaded him: "The formation of this cavalry is extremely expensive. Although the country has annexed Beiyan with your majesty, it has occupied a large amount of land in the east. , but it is still impossible to spend enough money to build an armored cavalry.”

"Instead of spending money on cavalry, it is better to reward the soldiers so that they have a heart of gratitude to His Majesty; treat the scholars generously so that they have a heart of loyalty to His Majesty; encourage the people so that they have a heart of respect for His Majesty. So , Even if there is no cavalry, it can make my Great Wei invincible!"

Cui Hao originally thought that he could persuade Tuoba Tao, but Tuoba Tao also swelled up after personally commanding and destroying Beiyan, and he had the confidence to refute Cui Hao.

"What the father said is different!"

"Although Xiangfu has the ability to master the world, he doesn't understand military affairs!"

"Wars depend on faster horses, more soldiers, and stronger weapons!"

"It is impossible to defeat the enemy only by talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality!"

"When Liu Song has armored cavalry, he can easily tear through our army's line and kill me. Can I rely on benevolence to prevent Liu Song's soldiers from killing me?"

Seeing that Cui Hao wanted to persuade him again, Tuoba Tao became a little impatient, and his hidden tyrannical heart began to beat slowly.

"Is this the Great Wei Emperor, I? Or is he Xiangfu?"

Cui Hao was silent for a long time after hearing this, but finally bowed his head to Tuoba Tao.
