Chapter 345 Killing myself
The system broke three news in a row, first because Zhao Yun and Ma Chao defeated Zhebie, which caused a second-level major incident, and two fierce people were born.Then Commander Zhao Yun broke through the peak and reached 92 points, which surprised Liu Bian.Furthermore, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are sworn brothers to obtain the skill of brotherhood. As long as Zhao Yun leads the white horse righteous, Ma Chao leads the Ma family cavalry, and the two fight together, the force will be increased by one, and the commander will be increased by one.

It seems that the bonus is not high, but Liu Bian understands that for a peerless general like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, a little force can cause too much power. If he is in danger, this little force can save lives!
"Hey, it is said that Zhao Yun married Ma Chao's younger sister Ma Yunlu? Now that they are sworn brothers, wouldn't this marriage be embarrassing? If Zhao Yun married Ma Yunlu, would she call her Ma Chao's elder brother or Ma Chao's righteous brother?" Here Liu Bian laughed a bit wickedly.

Smiling and shaking his head, Liu Bian remembered the business again, tapped his fingers on the table and muttered: "Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and the others are both cavalry talents now, and now that Liangzhou is occupied by Mongolia, they need to contribute. Send them to fight the Mongols under Mende!"

"It's just a problem with this type of army!" Liu Bian frowned, and after a systematic explanation later, he also figured out what happened in this battle.If it weren't for Baima Yicong's horse stirrups, Ma Chao's cavalry and Baima Yicong would be in danger of being wiped out.

After this battle, the Mongols, who were born on horseback and studied cavalry tactics all their lives, could not have discovered the great role of the stirrups.And once the Mongols used the stirrups to develop cavalry, then Liu Bian's cavalry would have no advantage.

First of all, Bai Mayi was transformed by Liu Bian into a half-light cavalry and half-heavy cavalry, but because he rode the best horses.Although equipped with long spears and leather armor, its speed is not slower than light cavalry equipped with horse stirrups.

Although the Mongolian light cavalry is fast, its fastest speed is reduced because the overall physique of the horse is not as good as that of Baima Yicong.Even if equipped with a horse stirrup, its speed is only on par with Baima Yicong.

And Baima Yicong can ride and shoot as well as sprint, combining the best of both, and can often make great achievements on the battlefield.So even if Mongolia had stirrups and saddles, Liu Bian didn't need to transform Baima Yicong.

Ma Chao’s cavalry needs to be greatly improved. Ma’s cavalry combined with Roman cavalry’s javelin tactics can actually defeat Cao Cao, but it’s just because of the suddenness. The casualties were heavy.But compared with the Mongolian light and heavy cavalry, it does not have any advantages.

There are two main types of cavalry, heavy cavalry and light cavalry.

With its speed, super flexibility, and mobility, the light cavalry can conduct raids, chases, intercept food lanes, lure the enemy, and detour and overtake.It is even more beneficial to use light cavalry to attack the infantry formation with arrows.

The heavy cavalry is different. The soldiers of the heavy cavalry wear armor and horses, but their mobility is far inferior to that of the light cavalry.The advantages of heavy cavalry are high protection, strong impact, and strong melee combat capabilities.

There are advantages and disadvantages between light and heavy cavalry.In thousands of years of history, there are many battles where light cavalry defeated heavy cavalry, and there are countless examples of heavy cavalry defeating light cavalry.The process of confrontation between light and heavy cavalry is actually to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses. Whoever can make use of his own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses, and make his own weaknesses avoid the other's strengths is the victory.

In addition to the pros and cons of the arms, the victory or defeat of the war also depends on the game of the commander. The timing, location, and harmony of people are all indispensable.

But despite this, Liu Bian decided to transform Ma Chao's javelin cavalry.Compared with light and heavy cavalry, Majia cavalry has neither the mobility and flexibility of light cavalry, nor the melee advantage of heavy cavalry.

The strength of the javelin cavalry is only the short-term damage of those two rounds of projection. If they only fight with Han Sui Niufu and others in Liangzhou, there will be no problem even if the specifications of the Ma family cavalry can be preserved.But now they are facing Temujin's Mongolian cavalry, the most peak cavalry in the history of the world. Although their equipment and tactics are far inferior to those of later generations, Rao is fighting against the Mongolian cavalry, and the javelin cavalry is really not enough.

Liu Bian intends to build a heavy cavalry regiment based on the javelin cavalry, equipped with javelins!
In Liu Bian's view, javelins are only enough to throw two rounds at most when fighting in short combat, but now the Ma cavalry are equipped with five javelins. What's the use?Equipped with such a heavy javelin, facing light cavalry will be kited, and facing a large group of heavy cavalry, the damage caused by two rounds of throwing is not enough.Then the heavy cavalry charged over, wouldn't it be a disastrous defeat?

So Liu Bian wanted to turn the Majia cavalry into a heavy cavalry. In this era, iron armor is not yet popular, and it is far from the sophistication of later generations.Liu Bian thought that it was only necessary to equip the horses with vests, the men with leather armors, and then equip two javelins and melee weapons.

Replace the upper vest with the extra javelin, so that it has both the defensiveness of the heavy cavalry and the lethality of the javelin. In short combat, first use the javelin to project, and then charge in melee.The ability of its cavalry will be greatly improved.

And put Zhao Yun and Ma Chao together, and the two of them will fight together to make up for the shortcomings of their respective arms.

After Liu Bian thought about it, he wrote the preparations on paper. First, he made the equipment for the heavy cavalry and the vest of the horse. Since the stirrups were leaked in front of the Mongolian cavalry, the big man had to hurry up to manufacture a large number of stirrups and equip them to the cavalry. .Compared with other races, the advantage of the big Han lies in technology and population.Therefore, Liu Bian wanted to equip the horse stirrups in the Han army in advance before they became popular in Mongolia.

"Saddle and stirrup? Hmph, since that's the case, let's get out the horseshoe too! The system will give me the craft of making the horseshoe!"

Soon, after consuming two hundred points, a detailed horseshoe manufacturing process was in Liu Bian's hands.How to make it and how to nail the palm are explained in great detail.

Soon Liu Bian finished writing, ordered Bingzhou to prepare war horses, and various departments to build equipment, mass-produce stirrups, horseshoes, and equip cavalry troops.After writing, Liu Bian called Cao Ang and asked him to send the official document.

After dealing with these matters, Liu Bian reached out to call a Jinyi Guard and asked: "Is there any movement in the Chang'an family these days?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, those aristocratic families have been quite restless these days, and they actually intend to control the power of the city gate! The plan of the adults is to pretend not to know, and let them expose their own conspiracy!" Jin Yiwei cupped his hands.

"Control the city gate? Oh, there is indeed a conspiracy!" Liu Bian said in a deep voice.

Since Liu Bian came to Chang'an, Liu Bian deliberately let Wang Meng and others indulge the family, and even released part of the political power, only firmly controlling the military power.[-] soldiers and horses of the headquarters were stationed in Chang'an City, and [-] troops, under the command of Xue Andu, were stationed in the camp a few miles away from Chang'an City.

As a result, a scene of Cao Cao sending troops to Liangzhou, the conspiracy has surfaced, and the guards of Chang'an preparing for the New Year's peace.However, Liu Bian let Jin Yiwei secretly control the family's movements. Liu Bian's move was to put the fat of Chang'an on the table and wait for the family to eat it.Waiting for the group of forces opposing Liu Bian to surface.

Wang Meng, Di Renjie, and Li Ru in Chang'an City are all geniuses, but Cao Cao actually controlled the overall situation before.Wang Meng was just governing, and other methods were not revealed, and Di Renjie was a newcomer, so naturally no one noticed, while Li Ru was in the dark.

In the past few months, under Liu Bian's order, Chang'an only took precautions and monitored the aristocratic family, and did not take action.So these three people, the aristocratic family has never experienced their methods, but Cao Cao's methods are cruel, but now he has gone to conquer Xiliang.

As soon as Cao Cao left, Wang Meng and others gradually delegated power. Under Liu Bian's expectation, the family that opposed Liu Bian finally gradually surfaced.Now that the aristocratic family that opposes Liu Bian wants to control the city gate, Liu Bian has cast a net in the past few days, and he is about to catch a big fish.

Liu Bian was walking in the palace, but there was some doubt in his eyes, the aristocratic family controls the city gate?for what?Now that Cao Cao is not here, shouldn't they try their best to control the power, why did they put their ideas on the city gate?
After controlling the city gate, could it be said that they want to take Chang'an and split the pass?Just relying on the thousands of private soldiers from aristocratic families in Chang'an City, dare to compete with the [-] regular troops in Chang'an?
Could it be that apart from colluding with other races, these aristocratic families also have foreign aid?

Liu Bian took a map of Guanzhong and checked it. The east of Guanzhong is Chang'an. Now Gao Changgong has [-] cavalry stationed here, and the east is safe.Yang Zaixing of the southeast guarded the Wu Pass, one man was in charge of the pass, ten thousand men were not allowed to open it, even a hundred thousand soldiers could hold on to the pass for a long time.

The north is Bingzhou, which is even more impossible, and Liangzhou in the northwest is its foreign aid. It is planned to attack Chang'an with a family at the end of the year, but now the news has leaked and Cao Cao sent troops. This road is also impossible.

Liu Bian focused his eyes and looked towards the south on the map. The only ones who could become the family's foreign aid were Hanzhong, Yizhou, and Liu Yan.

"Since Liu Yan became the shepherd of Yizhou, he has sealed off Yizhou, and there is no news of Lu Bu fleeing to Hanzhong. Could it be that the last line of the family is Yizhou!" Liu Bian frowned and muttered to himself.

"Liu Yan of Yizhou has always had the heart of disobedience. It is not impossible for the family to join him. Now that these families are so dynamic, they have already secretly controlled the power of the city gate. Maybe they want to attract foreign enemies into the country. I need to do it sooner. You can do it later!"

Although Zhang Lu is in charge of Hanzhong now, Liu Yan is still there at this time, and Zhang Lu is still obeying Liu Yan's orders at this time.Last year, under Liu Yan's order, he cut off the Xiegu Road and killed the court envoy.

In other words, Yizhou can send troops to Chang'an from Xiegu!

Liu Bian didn't know whether his guess was right or not, but he was already cautious, and the Chang'an family was already intervening in the defense of the city gate.If the real family colludes with Liu Yan, then the current defense cannot be resolved.

Liu Bian did not dare to imitate Liang Wudi Xiao Yan. At the end of his reign, the enemy Hou Jing came to vote, knowing that Hou Jing was plotting something wrong.But he was unmoved, and even continued to capitalize on the enemy.What for?I just want Hou Jing to rebel first, and then get a verdict, so that he won't get the unjust reputation of killing the surrendered ministers.But later Hou Jing really rebelled. Although Emperor Wu of Liang sent troops to win the sentence, he failed due to internal reasons, and finally ended up starving to death after being besieged for several months.

In Liu Bian's view, this is what he did with confidence, and he killed himself.

At this time, Liu Bian was in the same situation as Xiao Yan. Knowing that the family was in rebellion, Liu Bian wanted them to act first, so that they would bear the name of rebellion.Without damaging Liu Bian's reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

If it's just the aristocratic family, Liu Bian thinks that his current arrangement is enough, but if not only the aristocratic family but Yizhou intervene, then the arrangement is far from enough.Even if Liu Biandang sent someone to invite Wang Meng, Di Renjie, Li Ru and others to discuss this matter.
