"PS: After eating, I took a nap after eating artificial bezoar metronidazole capsules, and I overslept, and the second one is going to be very late, so you can watch it tomorrow."

Zhao Yu originally thought that the Jin army that participated in the battle to defend Liangcheng might only be his Yingchuan County Army, as well as the Henan County Army, the Liang County Army, and a part of the army that had been defeated from Chenliu County, but he didn't expect that early this morning, Tong Yan personally came to the camp he and Li Meng jointly established, and told them that the imperial court had sent a big man.

"Big shot? Could it be that Taishi Chen personally came forward?"

At that time, Zhao Yu's heart was pounding.

Although he had never seen that Taishi Chen, the so-called name of the person and the shadow of the tree, just the terrifying record of that Taishi Chen's 'not defeated for decades' was enough to deter a guy like Zhao Yu who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

However, I later learned that the big man Tong Yan was talking about did not refer to the Taishi Chen Zhong, but to his righteous son, Xue Ao, the general of the chariot and cavalry who was known as the 'Five Tigers of Chenmen' together with Zhang Jing and Han Yan.

Well, the tiger didn't come, it was a tiger son who came.

ridicule is ridicule, even so, Zhao Yu didn't dare to take it lightly, just like he wouldn't underestimate these two tiger generals just because Han Yan and Zhang Jing lost to Mr. Ram, because he really understood Zhang Jing's martial arts and strategies, and he was almost planted in his hands back then.

If Xue Ao who came this time was a character similar to Zhang Jing, then Zhao Yu must be more cautious so as not to be exposed.

However, which five people do the five tigers of Chenmen refer to?

Zhao Yu didn't pay much attention to this matter before, but now, he felt that he needed to inquire.

Who to ask?

That is naturally looking for Li Mengluo, the governor of Henan who has gradually thickened his relationship with him during this time.

When he went to meet Xue Ao near the big river with Tong Yan, Li Meng and others, Zhao Yu asked Li Meng this question.

I have to say that when he raised this question, Li Meng's face was full of shock, and his expression seemed to say: You, the dignified captain of Yingchuan, don't even know the famous Chenmen Five Tigers in the court?

In this regard, Zhao Yu could only say that he was lonely and unheard.

Fortunately, Li Meng also knew that Zhao Yu was born as a thief, and after a period of consternation, he explained to Zhao Yu as if nothing had happened: "The five tigers of Chenmen refer to the five famous sons under the knee of Chen Taishi, these five people are Zou Zhan, the general of the tiger bank, Xue Ao, the general of the chariot cavalry, Zhang Jing, the general of Jinan, Han Yan, the general of Jiangxia, and the general Wang Tan. ”

"Doesn't Taishi Chen have any children of his own?" Zhao Yu asked curiously.

Hearing this, Li Meng looked around, and then reminded Zhao Yu in a low voice: "Taishi Chen treats the five people as his own, and Zhou Duwei must not say such things in the future......"

"Uh-oh." Only then did Zhao Yu realize that his words were a little inappropriate, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Li Mengcai answered Zhao Yu's question: "According to legend, Taishi Chen only has one main room, but Mrs. Chen did not give birth to a child for Taishi in her life, and passed away at the age when Taishi Chen was not confused. Legend has it that His Majesty and the courtiers persuaded the Taishi to continue the string, but the Taishi politely rejected the matter, and in the following years, he successively adopted Zou Zhan, Xue Ao, Zhang Jing, Han Yan, and Wang Tan as their righteous sons......"

"Five tigers who were adopted after forty years old?" Zhao Yu was stunned and asked, "Dare to ask Taishi Chen's age?" ”

Hearing this, Li Meng also showed a subtle look on his face, and said in a low voice: "It should be about seventy-eight or seventy-nine years old." ”

"Good fellow...... It's eighty.'"

Zhao Yu was dumbfounded, and asked in amazement: "But I know that a few years ago, that Chen Taishi also led the army to fight outside the Saiwai ......"

"Haha."

Li Meng smiled and said, "The body of the Taishi is very strong!" However, considering that they are old after all, the two generals, Zou Zan and Wang Tan, have always been with the Taishi, and over the years, the Taishi has gradually handed over the military power to Zou Zan......"

"Zou Zan, Wang Tan......"

Zhao Yu secretly kept the remaining two of the Five Tigers of Chenmen in his heart.

After about half a day's journey, the group came to the river.

At this time, Zhao Yu saw that on the turbulent river, someone had built a bridge, and an army was slowly crossing this bridge.

"Cavalry!"

The pupils in Zhao Yu's eyes constricted slightly.

So far, it was the first time he had seen a cavalry in formation, and the number was so numerous, I am afraid that there were nearly 10,000 cavalry?

"That's ...... Cavalry? ”

Zhao Yu deliberately probed Li Meng's tone.

"It's the Taiyuan cavalry."

Li Meng, the governor of Henan, looked envious, raised his hand and pointed to the banner of the cavalry in the distance.

Sure enough, Zhao Yu saw the words 'Taiyuan' and 'Che Cavalry General Xue' on those military banners.

"Light riding? Or do you want to ride it heavily?'

While carefully observing those cavalry, a question appeared in Zhao Yu's heart.

Light cavalry, heavy cavalry, those are two completely different types of cavalry.

The light cavalry focused on pinning, harassing, and intercepting the enemy, and then took the offensive when the enemy was exhausted and difficult to balance; The heavy cavalry, commonly known as the heavy cavalry, is not as versatile as the light cavalry, but there is one thing that the light cavalry cannot match, that is, the unstoppable charge - when the heavy cavalry charges the enemy with its indestructible armor, no one class can resist it, and the best result is only to lose both. Dotted Library

To judge whether a cavalry is light cavalry or heavy cavalry, it can be judged by the armor of the cavalry and the war horse, and the cavalry seen at this moment, those war horses are not wearing horse armor.

In other words, these are light cavalry?

No, no, no, given that the heavy cavalry only wears heavy armor on knights and horses on the eve of battle, it may not be certain that these cavalry are light cavalry, and it may be that their heavy armor is being carried by other surplus horses.

Of course, whether it is light cavalry or heavy cavalry, the arrival of this cavalry is a huge threat to the three righteous divisions of Jiangxia, Yuzhang, and Jiangdong gathered in Liang County.

The reason is very simple, because none of the three righteous divisions have formed cavalry, which means that the righteous divisions may suffer losses when fighting on the plains.

What's more, if the commanders and generals of those righteous divisions didn't know the strength of the cavalry, they would not be dragged to death by these cavalry.

"I'm in trouble......

Zhao Yu secretly pinched a cold sweat for those righteous teachers.

And at this moment, Tong Yan, the governor of Liang County, greeted him and Li Meng not far away: "Zhou Duwei, Li Duwei." ”

Hearing this, Li Meng turned to Zhao Yu and said, "General Xue should be almost here, Captain Zhou, let's go over first." ”

"Okay."

Zhao Yu nodded, drove the mount, and came to Tong Yan's side with Li Meng, and the three of them chatted without saying a word.

Not long after, a small group of cavalry in the distance left the team, and about a dozen people slowly came towards the location of Tong Yan, Zhao Yu, Li Meng and others.

The first person, wearing bright armor, knows that his identity is extraordinary at a glance.

"Here we are."

Tong Yan reminded Zhao Yu and Li Meng, then turned over and dismounted, and took the initiative to meet them.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu had no choice but to turn over and dismount and greet Li Meng together.

At this time, Tong Yan had already walked quickly to the person who looked like a general at the head, and clasped his fists and said, "Tong Yan, the commander of Liangjun, meet the general of the Che Cai." ”

"That's the general Xue Ao......

At this moment, Zhao Yu, who had walked quickly behind Tong Yan, clasped his fists and saluted, while secretly observing the general in front of him who was still sitting on his horse.

It stands to reason that Tong Yan, Zhao Yu, and Li Meng, the three captains, came out to greet each other in person, even if the status of the general was much higher than that of the captain, Xue Ao should also dismount to show his bearing and courtesy.

However, this Xue Ao was still sitting on the war horse, his expression was indifferent, and he looked at Tong Yan condescendingly.

And just when Zhao Yu thought that this was a difficult figure to get along with, Li Meng stepped forward to greet Xue Ao: "General Che Cai, do you still recognize me Li Meng?" ”

"Of course I remember you kid."

Under Zhao Yu's surprised gaze, Xue Ao turned over and dismounted, patted Li Meng's shoulder with a big grin, and said with a smile: "I went back to Handan a few years ago, and I heard that your kid worships the governor of Henan...... How is it in Henan? ”

Li Meng, who was patted on the shoulder by Xue Ao, showed a look of pain, rubbed his shoulder and said with a wry smile: "Alas, don't mention it, those damn rebels, this year almost destroyed the farmland in my Henan County, fortunately, Yingchuan County still has a good harvest this year, otherwise I am afraid that millions of people in Henan will not even be able to withstand this winter...... Oh, by the way, I'll introduce a heroic man to the general of the chariot. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed at Zhao Yu and introduced, "This is the new Lieutenant of Yingchuan, Zhou Hu." …… Zhou Duwei was amazing, and defeated the Changsha rebels in Guanshuo with more victories in Kunyang County......"

"Just call me Brother Xue like you did back then."

Xue Ao slapped Li Meng's chest with his left hand backhand, very casually, and immediately, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, looked up and down, and said, "Heh, I heard about it on the way, and I heard that Yingchuan County has changed a captain......"

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand towards Zhao Yu.

"This is ......"

Zhao Yu hesitated, then reached out and shook it.

As soon as he held Xue Ao's right hand, Zhao Yu felt that Xue Ao's right hand was wide and hard, covered with calluses.

Just when he was secretly surprised, suddenly, Xue Ao began to retract his strength violently.

"Is this to give me a dismount?"

Zhao Yu was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know where he had offended this General Xue, so that this person would give him a dismount when they met.

But what he didn't expect was that when Zhao Yu was secretly patient, that force suddenly retracted, and immediately, Xue Ao patted Zhao Yu's arm familiarly, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhou Duwei is good at strategy...... Very good, Lao Tzu likes smart people. ”

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦γ€

Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood.

This Xue Ao didn't want to give him a horse, but to judge his strength in martial arts by shaking hands and judging his strength in martial arts from the thick and calloused palms.

That's why Xue Ao said: It seems that Zhou Duwei is good at strategy......

"This guy...... It's definitely not just a reckless man.'"

Looking at Xue Ao, who was laughing and laughing with Li Meng, with a big nervous and reckless style, Zhao Yu moved his right hand that was slightly painful, and thought secretly in his heart.
