The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 231

"General Lu, I didn't expect you to be defeated so easily." In Xiling City, Li Shimin looked at Lu Bu. Since his defeat, he has been heading east all the way to Xiling to be stationed. .

"If you lose, you're defeated. Lu doesn't make excuses!" Lu Bu shook his head, "But the enemy soldiers are very elite, Li Taishou must be careful! Especially their horse archers, they have mastered the ability to run and shoot, they are very difficult to deal with. .”

"This Shi Hui originally came from Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou horses are short in size. They are good at walking on mountains and have enough endurance, but they are not fast. Compared with Bingzhou horses, they can catch up even if they are far away... ..." Li Shimin obviously didn't believe Lu Bu's words very much. After all, judging from the current information, there was no record of transporting horses, especially war horses, to Jiaozhou.

The formation of cavalry requires horses. Ordinary horses are useless, and there are not many qualified war horses.Besides, given the current situation of the imperial court, I am afraid that they will also control the horses and prevent them from flowing into the Central Plains.Unless you really can't make it through, you will trade some bad horses in exchange for some money.

Obviously, judging from the available information, there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry under Shi Hui's command, and there are also [-] to [-] mounted infantry, and they all have [-] horses.If it wasn't sold from the north, then the only explanation is the Dianma!

This kind of horse is shorter than the Bingzhou horse, and its speed is not fast enough. It is characterized by strong endurance and faster walking speed in mountainous areas than flat land. According to records, it can travel hundreds of miles a day.However, if the two armies confronted each other on flat ground, the Dian horse would never be as good as the Bingzhou horse.

"This is also what makes me strange. His horses are all white-maned horses, and there is no variegation at all. They are similar to Bingzhou horses in size, but slightly slower in speed. This kind of horse is definitely not a Yunnan horse in Jiaozhou. Lu I don’t know what kind of horse it is, but the key is why this soldier’s badge is crazy, and the cavalry under his command are all white-maned horses.” Lu Bu also couldn’t figure it out.

"It's also possible that Yuan Shao sold it to him. I'm afraid it took the route from Xuzhou, so we don't know. I bought [-] horses in one go. Is Jiaozhou so rich?" Li Shimin couldn't help feeling that the Guanzhong court would There is no money to buy rice for the pot, and a countryman in the south has [-] war horses in one shot.

The speed is about the same as that of Bingzhou horse, plus galloping, it is really difficult to deal with.Unless it is Xiliang iron cavalry, or with a strong crossbow, this kind of cavalry will definitely become a nightmare on the battlefield.

"However, my subordinates have also found out some mysteries!" Lu Bu then added, "The saddles of those cavalrymen are slightly different from the ones we usually see. , Naturally, with a little training, you will be a qualified cavalryman, and if you train hard, you can definitely learn the ability to run and shoot, but the accuracy is not very good."

"Oh, do you still remember the style? If we can manufacture it, we can also explain to the imperial court what happened this time!" Li Shimin asked quickly.

"Of course I remember, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it!" Lu Bu nodded, "Now that Zhang Xiu has been captured by the Shihui Department, and Wancheng is vacant, do you want to take this opportunity to take Nanyang?"

"You can arrange Juncheng as appropriate, and then take it step by step! Zhang Xiu has already defected to the court, but we let him be captured on the battlefield in a blink of an eye, and took the opportunity to take Nanyang down. If it spreads, I'm afraid it's deliberate. At that time, it will not only have a bad influence on you and me, but also on the imperial court!" Li Shimin rejected Lu Bu's proposal without even thinking about it.

On the same day, Li Shimin reported the stirrup and Zhang Xiu's capture.

As for the supplies that Lu Bu mentioned, Li Shimin really had no choice.Not long after he took over Xiling City, it was just ransacked by Shi Hui faction.Piansheng didn't do anything wrong to the aristocratic family here, but instead brought ordinary people to Changsha County. It is said that they arranged to settle in Yueyang, and threatened that as long as they lived for ten years, they could decide whether to stay or not.

Without the population, the economic production and farming of the entire Xiling would be completely destroyed.For example, this year, there was a large piece of land that was not cultivated at all, and Li Shimin also spent a lot of effort to attract some refugees in Runan County and Lujiang County.

Now that spring plowing has just started, where do you ask him to get food supplies?In the end, we could only piece together things and give Lu Bu a batch of food that could last for more than ten days, and let him go to Xiangyang to find a way.Lu Bu also knew his difficulty, so he took the food and left, but he underestimated Li Shimin again in his heart.

At the same time, near the Xiakou camp, the original camp of Lu Bu has been repaired and reused.Considering the possibility of staying there for a long time, Mu Huali sent people to ask [-] people in Zhouling to further strengthen the fortifications in this area. At the same time, if conditions permit, a dock will be built here as a command center where.

"Where is Han Sheng?" Wei Yan, who got off the hospital bed, suddenly found that Huang Zhong was gone, so he couldn't help asking Xue Rengui curiously.

"General Huang has gone south today to join the lord in Yuzhang County. According to what he said, he doesn't plan to fight in the battlefield again. I hope the lord will allow him to disarm and return to the field." Xue Li got up slowly, the wound was somewhat involved, and the pain suddenly returned. Itchy and very uncomfortable.

"Brother Han Sheng is only 40 years old, and he is in his prime. Wouldn't it be a pity to take off his armor like this?" Wei Yan was a little bit reluctant.When I was in contact with him before, I felt that Huang Zhong was so capable that he was so unknown.Seeing that he has become an official now and may become his own robe, Wei Yan is actually really happy for him, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

"Everyone has his own ambitions. Since he has made up his mind, it is natural for you and me not to talk too much." Xue Rengui reminded.

"Forget it, if this is the path he chooses, I can only bless him! By the way, brother Rengui, now Lu Bu has been repelled by us. You and I know that Jiangxia County has no supplies. Lu Bu lost his camp and supplies this time. I'm afraid I won't stay in Jiangxia anymore, now that Jiangxia County's defense is empty, do you think we should take Jiangxia County down?" Wei Yan suggested.

He originally planned to suggest to Mu Huali, but he was not confident whether he would accept it, so he asked Xue Rengui first.

"Lü Bu will not leave. As the saying goes, it is the responsibility of guarding the land. Since he was sent to guard Xiakou, and now that Xiakou has been lost, he must guard Jiangxia County well. If something goes wrong here, then he is considered the strongest at that time. I have to obediently go to Caishikou for a walk!" Xue Rengui shook his head, especially since Lu Bu has a strong temper, he might still be thinking about how to deal with them, and he might just lurk somewhere and wait for them to take the bait.

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, the lord just wants us to take down Xiakou. If we can, we can take down Xiling at most. It's not easy to continue to attack other places. Now the lord mainly wants to occupy Yangzhou, and Jiangxia seems useless here." That’s so important. At most occupy Xiling, and leave a front-line stronghold going north.”

After five days like this, 1 people from Zhouling had arrived, all of them were the best workers, in fact they were all recruited civilians.Li Mengchen was sensible, and sent the best labor to Mu Huali, and even had food for about a month. As for more, I am afraid that Mu Huali had to prepare by himself.

However, what Mu Huali cares most about today is not the labor, but the woman in front of him.A woman who was protected by hundreds of cavalry and infantry came to the front of the camp. She called herself Zou Shi and was Zhang Ji's wife.
