Shaobei, the name sounds like a hillside-like convex ground. But in fact, the word "陂" means pond. Located in the south of Shouchun City, Shaobi is one of the four major water conservancy projects in ancient China together with Dujiangyan, Zhengguo Canal and Zhanghe Canal!

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Shuao, the prime minister of Chu, presided over the construction of the Shaobi flood storage and irrigation project. This is more than 300 years earlier than Zhengguoqu and Dujiangyan during the Warring States Period! The principle is to rely on the advantages of the pocket-shaped terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides, east, west and south, dig ponds and dams, store river water and mountain torrents, and supply fertile fields in the low-lying areas to the north for irrigation. At that time, the construction of Shaobi could irrigate 10,000 hectares of fertile land, which was equivalent to one million acres of land at that time!

As a result, Chu's grain production capacity in the Huai River area was greatly enhanced, which to a certain extent laid the economic foundation for Chu's participation in the Spring and Autumn Period struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains. Later, the state of Chu even moved its capital to Shouchun, with Shouchun as the economic and political center, which is enough to witness how great the economic benefits of Shaobi are!

Later, the Qin and Han dynasties have also been using Shaobi for hundreds of years, and they have been repaired and expanded from time to time. Although its effectiveness has been declining due to many factors, Huainan, which has a super water conservancy project comparable to Dujiangyan Zhengguo Canal, has always been famous for its vast land and grain in the Central Plains.

At the beginning, Yuan Shu decided to move eastward to occupy its territory to a large extent because of the advantages of Huainan's vast land and abundant grain.

Of course, because of the extravagance and corruption of Yuan Shu's forces, he had the advantage of having a lot of grain in Huainan in Shaobei, and finally turned into "Dijing Grain Light".

Zhang Xiuhui chose Huainan as the land of Longteng, and also took a fancy to the advantages of Huainan being located in the Central Plains, with dense water networks and many fertile land households. As long as you operate it well for a few years, it will be the most rich and powerful area in the Central Plains, and there is no one!

In fact, Zhang Xiu did the same. The top priority of the administration of Huainan was to appoint Li Tong as his pawn farmer lieutenant general, and Liao Hua as the lieutenant of the pawn farmer, repair the original water conservancy projects in Huainan such as Shaobei, dredge ditches and waterways, and lead the reduced army and displaced people to carry out large-scale tuntian.

The effectiveness of this policy in the face of drought and famine shows Zhang Xiu's farsightedness in terms of cultural governance. Similarly, with another policy of benefiting the people, the grain planned economy, Zhang Xiu laid the prestige of Zhang Xiu in Huainan. Later, if it weren't for Cao Cao's "very timely" expedition to Huainan, I am afraid that if the momentum continues, the common people of Huainan will only know "Xuanwei Hou" and not "Emperor Xudu Han".

……

The road from Shouchun to Shaobi is a low-lying terrain, with relatively good road conditions but winding and stretching avenues, as well as fish intestine paths hidden between fertile fields and fish pond depressions. The elite cavalry under Zhang Liao's command, the two hundred wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, was galloping on the empty road under the command of Wei Xucheng and Lian.

In fact, the wolf ride of this state is no longer the wolf ride of the other state. The Bingzhou wolf cavalry was originally built in the period when Lu Bu followed the Bingzhou wolf cavalry Ding Yuan, and in the suppression of bandits and enemies in Bingzhou, Lu Bu tempered a cavalry that was good at fighting in special terrain. Because the main composition of this cavalry is soldiers of merge state nationality, it is called merge state cavalry. But it was not a wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, because at this time, Lu Bu was not famous outside Bingzhou, and this cavalry had not yet encountered the opportunity to become famous.

Later, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, the general He Jin invited the governors of various states to lead troops into Beijing to kill the eunuchs. As a state thorn Shi Ding Yuan is also on this list. When he went to Luoyang, Ding Yuan brought the military horses of Bingzhou, including elite cavalry. And because of the strength of the Bingzhou army, Ding Yuan was worshiped in Luoyang as the ruling Jinwu who was in charge of the Luoyang Forbidden Army, and had the military strength to compete with Dong Zhuo.

In fact, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when senior officials of foreign nationality went to work, in many cases, they could bring a certain scale of their own entourage. For example, Tao Qian, a native of Danyang, when Xuzhou was assassinated, brought thousands of Danyang soldiers from his hometown to his post on the grounds that Xuzhou was threatened by the Yellow Turban Army. Later, this Danyang army also sat firmly in Xuzhou, and continued to retain this part of the private army as part of the regular army in Xuzhou for various reasons.

Although this Danyang soldier first followed Liu Bei of Xuzhou in Sanrang, but betrayed Liu Ying Lu Bu to be the master of Xuzhou, and was finally bought by Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, betrayed Lu Bu again to welcome Cao Cao, and repeatedly did disloyal things, but these things only happened after Tao Qian's death, and it does not mean that the Danyang soldiers are unreliable. Because in fact, Danyang soldiers, as private soldiers, as a private army, have absolute loyalty, and are only willing to serve the original lord to the death.

This is the same as the later Qingzhou soldiers. After Cao **, Cao Pi inherited Cao Cao's throne as King of Wei, but as soon as the Qingzhou soldiers heard that Cao Cao died of illness, even if they learned that Cao Pi became the successor of the Cao group, they were disbanded on the spot and dispersed in a hurry, and they did not want to bird Cao Pi at all.

This is a real thing, because this incident was recorded in the Wei State's own history books at that time, and it is still doubtful if it was recorded by later generations or other forces, but there is no need to doubt this.

Tao Qian's performance in bringing out the Danyang soldiers from his hometown was actually essentially the same as that of the Qingzhou soldiers. It's just that Danyang soldiers are in a foreign land and have to seek reliable backers after the death of the original owner. And the Qingzhou soldiers, under Cao Cao's kindness, have already settled down, and for some other reasons, they don't have to worry about the new master.

In this troubled era, every prince will have a private unit that is absolutely loyal to him, that is, a private soldier. Dong Zhuo's private soldiers were three thousand flying bear soldiers. However, the commanders of the Flying Bear Soldiers were Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, so after Dong Zhuo's death, the Flying Bear Soldiers should have become the personal soldiers of the Four King Kongs.

For example, Gongsun Zhan's private soldiers, Baima Yicong, Yuan Shao's Gray Frost Battalion, Cao Cao's Wuwei Battalion, Tiger Guard Battalion, Qingzhou Soldiers, etc., are all private in nature. Just like the cowardly and incompetent Liu Zhang's generation, the Dongzhou soldiers who are also effective in their lives are used as die-hard armed forces.

Most of these private tribes have a relationship with the lord in one way or another. Most of them can be said to be the relationship between them and the lord and the lord. For example, Baima Yi is from Gongsun Zhan, the Gray Frost Battalion is to Yuan Shao, the Danyang Soldiers are to Tao Qian, and the Flying Bear Soldiers and Wuwei Battalion are to Zhang Xiu. Others also have such and such inseparable relationships, such as Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son to the Dongzhou soldiers, and Cao Cao to the Qingzhou soldiers, the Wuwei Battalion, the Tiger Guard Battalion. There is a bond between the two that is connected by glory and life.

The wolf riders of Bingzhou are all soldiers from Bingzhou, and they are famous for their bravery and fierceness. Compared with loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, he advocates good courage and fights harder. After Ding Yuan's death, even though there were quite a few soldiers from Bingzhou who took revenge on Lu Bu's kindness and fled back to Bingzhou, there were also some soldiers who stayed because they survived or were obsessed with Lu Bu's god-like martial arts. In this differentiation, the proportion of wolves left behind is quite large.

As a result, they became the hometown private tribe that Lu Bu believed to rely on, and since then they have begun to achieve the great reputation of the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou!

In the first battle of Chang'an, Wang Yun, the minister of Kuang Han, did not calculate the poisoner Jia Xu, and Lu Bu and the unsympathetic army under his command were also invincible to the Xiliang army that united because of the sense of crisis. The Bingzhou cavalry is still invincible to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which has been famous for a long time and is good at charging in unison with thousands of horses, and the dead soldiers of the Han Imperial Forest are also invincible to the Flying Bear Army, which is brave and capable of being able to fight in large numbers. Although Lu Bu himself was unstoppable alone, and even stabbed Guo Yan, the No. 2 person in the Xiliang Army, it was always difficult to stop tens of millions of horsemen with the strength of one general, and in the end, he was defeated in Chang'an.

More than one historical record has been recorded, and even Lu Bu himself has said that when Lu Bu fled from Chang'an, there were only 100 horsemen by his side!

Only 100 horsemen remain!

But it was these hundred horses that opened the era of wolf riding!

Lu Bu, who first joined his fellow countryman Zhang Yang, was replenished with some soldiers and horses, and the hundred horsemen around him were finally able to take a breath from the shadow of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the fiasco, but then, they went to Yuan Shao in Hebei Province to be used by Yuan Shao to fight against the raging Black Mountain Army!

The Montenegrin Army was originally a branch of the Yellow Turban Army, and it was joined by another Yellow Turban branch, the White Polish Army. Such as Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Li Le, these were all born in the Baibo Army, and in their heyday, they also resisted the Xiliang Army under Li Dao. But later, the White Wave Army was divided, Yang Feng and others surrendered to Li Dao, and after the Han Emperor was held hostage, the White Wave Army was effectively wiped out under the strangulation of all forces.

But the Montenegrin army is different. In history, the Montenegrin Army existed after the Yellow Turban Uprising, and experienced Yuan Shao's capture of Jizhou, the capture of the state, the destruction of Gongsun Zhan, the battle of Cao Yuan Guandu, and the annexation of Hebei by Cao Cao, but the Montenegrin Army led by Zhang Yan has always existed, and has always had considerable scale and strength!

Now, without going into detail about how Zhang Yan led the Montenegrin Army in its unyielding struggle, let's just say that when Lü Bu drove Yuan Shao to attack the Montenegrin Army, it was a peak period in the development of the Montenegrin Army. During this period, the Montenegrin army had 100,000 strong men and thousands of cavalry!

Attention, it's a hundred thousand strong men! In the official historical records, the Montenegrin army was "many to one million" at this time, even though the number of military horses in Chinese history books has always been untrue, but excluding the imaginary part, there are still hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops. Removing the old and weak women and children mixed in it, 100,000 strong people can still be made. In addition, there are many horses in the north of Jizhou, and thousands of cavalry can also make up.

In terms of quantity, the Montenegrin army already had the strength of a first-class prince when the division of the heroes had just begun. But in other respects, there are too many restrictions on the Montenegrin army, not only in the Taihang Mountains where they operate, but also in the Taihang Mountains, where their equipment is an important factor that limits them from conquering the world.

The Montenegrin army, which was generally dressed in cloth and held blunt weapons, relied on their strong physical strength and numerical superiority to fight, while Yuan Shaojun, who was inferior in numbers and combat physical strength and will, relied on a complete set of armor and food to fight a draw with them. But Lu Bu's joining instantly reversed the balance of the battlefield!

Lu Bu, who is known as a flying general, is the first soldier, and the elite light cavalry under his command wearing leather armor and holding a sharp blade is naturally unstoppable. The Montenegrin Army, which is familiar with the terrain and is good at taking advantage of the terrain to fight, would have expected that Yuan Shaojun would suddenly have an additional unit that was also familiar with the Taihang Mountain Operations. Although the number of this cavalry was small, it was only a hundred. However, the well-equipped, familiar with the terrain, the ability to adapt to the terrain, and most importantly, the will to fight, physical experience, are more than a step above the Montenegrin cavalry!

So Zhang Yan urged sadly.

It is still recorded in the official history that Lü Bu and his cavalry general Cheng Lian Wei continued to lead the cavalry of their headquarters, and fought continuously in the rugged Taihang Mountains for more than ten days, often fighting two or three times a day. Every time, they fought in and out of the Montenegrin army, and everyone only returned to the camp after obtaining the first rank of the Montenegrin army. It was killed until it destroyed the will of the Montenegrin Army to fight, and the name of the wolf rider in the state was finally famous!

This is the famous battle of the wolf cavalry in the state, a complete victory of 100 horsemen against thousands of horsemen. Although the Montenegrin army has the factor of poor equipment, the Montenegrin thieves have always been ranked first among the thieves in the world in the name of toughness! The ability to defeat this fierce thief with one enemy is not only due to the factors above the armor, but also the wolf cavalry of the state relies on its own high-spirited and violent ferocity to defeat the Montenegrin army.

Of course, this is inseparable from the supreme bonus of Lu Bu, a flying general, and putting it on others and the wolf rider will not exert such a violent combat power.

But later, Lu Bu, who experienced continuous defeats in the Battle of Yanzhou and the Battle of Xuzhou, lost and lost again and again the wolf riders under his command until the remnants of the dozen or so horses, which was not worthy of the name!

But today, with the strong support of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, who once witnessed the short-term glory of the Bingzhou wolf ride, has rebuilt this new "Bingzhou wolf ride" with a scale of 200 horses!
