The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 150 After the War
An expedited letter from Liaodong has just arrived at the prefect's mansion of Ji County in Youzhou. This made Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou who had just returned from Luoyang, the capital, suddenly nervous.This time when he was called to Beijing, he praised Huo Yu a lot in front of His Majesty. Liu Chong even took the place of Liu Yan as Zongzheng, and Liu Yan was sent to Yizhou.His good friend Cai Yong was also reinstated as an official, but now Huo Yu is a big hit in Liu Hong's eyes. At this moment, Liaodong must not make any mistakes, otherwise Liu Yu will not be able to explain.

He hurriedly opened the letter, and after reading it, Liu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, his frowning brows gradually relaxed, replaced by a smile all over his face.

"My lord, what happened in Liaodong?" Wei You asked with concern.

"Hahaha, see for yourself! This Huo Polu is not restless at all." Liu Yu said with a smile in a good mood.

Wei You took the letter and read it and shouted excitedly: "Xuantu County is back! Xuantu County is back!"

"Lord Muzhou, Taishou Huo captured Xuantu County?" Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin asked in unison.

Liu Yu nodded, and then said: "Hou City and Goguryeo City have been taken back. Now the letter is for the state pastoral government to send someone to take over. Let's talk about it!"

"This" everyone fell into silence for a while. Needless to say, the geographical location of Xuantu County, which borders Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Buyeo, is completely a place of the Four Wars, and no one here wants to go there.Watching his subordinates fall into silence, Liu Yu felt displeased.

"What? No guts?" Liu Yu said displeased.

"My lord, You think that the State Shepherd's Mansion should not send people there!" Wei You was the first to speak after a long while.

"What is Wei Cao's explanation?" Liu Yu asked doubtfully.

"My lord, Xuantu County is hostile on three sides. The person chosen must be good at military affairs and internal affairs, and none of us can do it!" After finishing speaking, Wei You paused, looking at Liu Yu who was thinking deeply, and stopped speaking.

"Wei Caoxuan continues!" Liu Yu said after a while.

"Now that Eunuch Huo has sent people to recover Xuantu County, it is better to order Eunuch Huo to lead it temporarily, and make a decision after reporting to the Ming court!" Wei You said slowly.

For Wei You's words, Liu Yu still agrees in his heart. If the group of his subordinates go, they will only accomplish more than fail. Whether they can defend or not is a problem.Since Huo Yu has the ability to take this place, he must be able to defend Xuantu County, so it's better to be a favor.After thinking through all the links, Liu Yu said, "Wei Cao's words are justified. In the name of the State Shepherd's Mansion, he ordered Huo Yu, the Taishou of Liaodong, to guard Xuantu County. We will make arrangements after reporting to the Ming court!"

Even the state shepherd spoke up, and the rest of the people naturally couldn't object, so Huo Yu obtained the temporary management right of Xuantu County as he wished.After the news was sent back to Liaodong, Huo Yu laughed it off.Report to the Ming court?I am afraid that no one in the court will value this bitter cold place, and I am afraid that only he, Huo Yu, will value this place in the whole world!
At the beginning of June, the weather gradually became hotter, and Liao Hua finally reappeared in the eyes of everyone in Liaodong after disappearing for a long time.As for the purpose of Liao Hua's trip, no one knows, let alone inquire.Inside the Liaodong Army, everything that should be known will naturally be told, and everything that should not be known should not be inquired casually, because this is Huo Yu's taboo.

Xi Zhicai and Zhang Jai were left in Xuantu County by Huo Yu, and they defended the place together with the troops they brought. Only Fei Yu returned to Liaodong with his belongings on his back.Moreover, Huo Yu gave them full power. Facing Huo Yu's trust, Xi Zhicai and Zhang Jai naturally did their best.The most urgent thing now is to repair the roads from Xiangping to the counties of Xuantu County. Fortunately, there are enough prisoners in Xianbei, and the harvest this time is so great that Huo Yu doesn't have to tighten his belt to bring large-scale recruitment of civilians.

What made Huo Yu even more happy was that Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, and Mi Fang bought a large amount of cattle, sheep and war horses from the Wuhuan people.The purpose of Wuhuan is very simple. On the one hand, it is to make friends with Huo Yu. On the other hand, Xianbei is about to have civil strife. The Wuhuan people intend to take this opportunity to avenge the Xianbei people, hoping to exchange some weapons and armor from Liaodong.

Huo Yu did not agree with the Wuhuan people's thoughts.Because Huo Yu knew in his heart that Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun would unite with Qiu Liju to launch a rebellion in another year, and Qiu Liju might not have prepared in advance for such a blatant exchange for weapons.After much deliberation, Huo Yu finally agreed to the request of the Wuhuan people, because of one person, Huo Yu hoped to kill him by the hands of the Wuhuan people.

In the Xiangping barracks, there was a busy scene everywhere.After the training of the first batch of recruits is completed, the second conscription order has been issued.The enthusiasm of the people for enlistment has not diminished at all, and many of them who were brushed off in the first conscription came again.With the experience of the first time, it is much easier to apply for the second time. In today's Liaodong, if someone is dismissed from the application, it would be a shameful event.

"My lord." Seeing Huo Yu's arrival, Zhao Yun stopped his training and arrived immediately.

"Junior Brother, how about this group of recruits? Are there any good seedlings?" Huo Yu said while looking at the recruits who were resting.

"My lord, since the method of conscription has been changed, the source of soldiers is getting better and better! However, such a large-scale conscription makes Yun worry." Zhao Yun said that he was not talking.

"Hahaha, junior brother wants to say that he is a warlord! Don't worry, junior brother." After speaking, Huo Yu stepped forward and patted Zhao Yun's shoulder before walking towards him.

Looking at the back of Huo Yu leaving, Zhao Yun felt that his senior brother had changed. Although he didn't know what was different from before, Zhao Yun always believed in the oath Huo Yu made with him.

"It's time to rest, continue training!" Zhao Yun, who turned around, immediately changed his expression, and the good luck of the recruits was coming to an end.

After leaving Fei Yuqi's training ground, Huo Yu made a special trip to the camp training place.Although it was exactly noon at this moment, the soldiers trapped in the camp were still fully armed with the long swords newly equipped by the practitioners.The queues were well-arranged, and the array of knives shining brightly under the sun looked extraordinarily dazzling.

This kind of knife is 8-9 feet long, has a sharp front end, weighs fifty catties, and has double blades. It is developed from the horse-cutting knife and cannot be used by ordinary soldiers.Moreover, this knife is extremely sharp and has an excellent cutting effect. It is mainly used to kill enemy cavalry. Because of its great deterrent power, it can also be used as a guard of honor.

In fact, this kind of knife was made by Huo Yu based on the Mo knife drawn from memory, but due to technical limitations, it is currently impossible to mass-produce it.Therefore, after discussing with Gao Shun, they expanded the number of people trapped in the camp, and specially equipped 800 Mo Dao soldiers for the trapped camp. These [-] people wore heavy armor and held Mo Dao in formation. The double-sided blade will definitely bring a lot of psychological pressure to the enemy cavalry, let alone infantry!
