"Lieutenant Marshal, you're too late."

Hearing that Lu Xiangsheng and his soldiers came to Jinzhou City to meet, Cao Bianjiao rode alone and quickly welcomed him out of the city.

As soon as he stopped his horse, he laughed.

He is now complacent and has made his first achievements.

The most important thing is that nearly 20,000 war horses were obtained from the original Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Although most of these war horses have to be concentrated and distributed in a unified manner.

However, this did not mean that he would not let some of the best horses be selected first, and the various inferior horses in the original army would be replaced.

Anyway, the number is still there, and it's hard for others to say anything.

Moreover, a large number of these captured war horses were still obtained by the Xuanwu Legion.

Cao Bianjiao was in the ancestral mansion in Jinzhou City, found more than a dozen superb war horses, and changed them for all the capable generals under him.

Now under him, there is a big black horse with an abnormal horse, much stronger than his original high-class horse.

The general's favorite, the two things in the front row, are undoubtedly BMW and Shenbing.

Now there are the best war horses, as well as two divine weapons given by His Majesty the Emperor, and they have achieved the first merit of this eastward expansion.

You let Cao Bianjiao, a straightforward and fierce man who couldn't hide things in his heart, why didn't he laugh when he saw an acquaintance?

Although it is now in the hands of the imperial court, because it has cleaned up almost all the corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry in the Shuntian Mansion, Yongping Mansion, and the Liaoxi Corridor, about ninety percent of the mules and horses in these three places have been obtained, and the total number is at least nearly two million.

However, there are not many war horses among them, less than 50,000.

War horses are different from ordinary horses.

Not only do they have to be trained from an early age, but they also have to be trained from an early age with strong foals.

Generally speaking, in the territory of the Ming Empire, among the ten horses, it is quite good to be able to cultivate a good war horse.

Ordinary horses, when running, the body of the horse is up and down, which is completely different from a war horse.

The cultivated war horse, when it runs, the body of the horse is very stable and swings from side to side, and even the skilled soldiers can sleep on the horse, and it will not bump the owner down.

In the era of Genghis Khan, his troops were able to sweep across the entire Eurasian continent by relying on a large number of war horses and countless cavalry soldiers.

Those cavalry soldiers are really able to sleep on horseback, quite powerful.

Coupled with the incomprehensible "Mangu" tactics he invented, he can truly be invincible in the world.

In the Ming Empire, the implementation of horse politics was very extensive, and even the imperial court forcibly ordered the people to raise horses on a large scale.

Therefore, in the territory of the Ming Empire, there was no shortage of horses.

However, most of those horses were not war horses.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, everyone couldn't even eat enough, where did they have the time and energy to cultivate war horses?

Therefore, during the period of the great peasant uprising, although the various peasant armies had quite a few cavalry units.

However, more than ninety percent of the horses ridden by those cavalry units were ordinary horses, and there were very few qualified war horses.

Those cavalry cannot be called real cavalry, but can only be called mounted infantry.

Zhu Youxiao knew this, and he understood that even if he searched the entire Ming Empire, he would not be able to gather the war horses he needed to form a powerful cavalry.

Therefore, he set his sights on Liaodong and Mongolia.

In the entire Ming Empire, it is not easy to find 50,000 qualified war horses.

And the cavalry unit that Zhu Youxiao wants to form is at least 300,000 people.

Two horses for one cavalryman, that's 600,000!

With such a huge war horse needed, where can I get it for a while?

This is also because he understands that he has no problem at all in defeating Mongolia or Huang Taiji head-on.

However, if you want to defeat them completely, you can't do it in the near future.

There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart.

On the territory of Houjin and Mongolia, there are a lot of qualified war horses, not to mention 600,000, even if it is a million, they can be easily found.

For those peoples on horseback, training war horses is instinct, and the ratio between qualified war horses and ordinary horses on the grassland is extremely high, and the number is also innumerable.

And all that is needed for this is time.

He needed to occupy most of the Great Wall defense line by himself, and organize his soldiers to continue to go to Houjin and Mongolia to rob them, so that he could get back the war horses he needed.

Buy, you can't buy that much at all.

A few thousand, you pay a high price, and people will sell it to you.

And hundreds of thousands of worst war horses are of the highest quality, and others are not fools, where will they pay attention to you?

If you have money, you can't buy it.

You can only grab it.

Just like in history, Huang Taiji frequently entered the customs and robbed.

Zhu Youxiao's favorite thing is to strike first.

He wouldn't wait for someone else to rob him.

If you want to rob, it is also Lao Tzu who will rob you, where is your turn to rob Lao Tzu?

"Huh! General Cao, ...... you?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at this stunned guy, shook his head gently, and was a little speechless.

He knew too well the temperament of this reckless man, although now that he had graduated from the first phase of the Army Academy, he could barely be regarded as a man of culture.

However, this guy is really a good hand at war, and his sensitivity to war is amazing.

He seems to have a magical instinct for the battlefield, and is often able to quickly identify the enemy's weak points, so as to initiate a decapitation operation against the enemy general.

In many confrontation exercises of the divisions and regiments of the New Army, he mainly focused on decapitation operations and won many victories.

If Zhu Youxiao was here, he would inevitably chuckle and praise Lu Xiangsheng's evaluation of Cao Bianjiao, a fierce man.

Historically, Cao Bianjiao seized a little opportunity when the battle situation was very unfavorable, and rushed straight to the command center of the Chinese army where Huang Taiji was located, and stepped on thousands of troops.

It was just a little bit worse, and he successfully beheaded Huang Taiji on the spot.

It's a pity that because he had been killing for too long at that time, when he arrived at Huang Taiji's side, he was already exhausted and unfortunately died.

Otherwise, the history of the late Ming Dynasty will be rewritten, and it may take several years to prolong before it will perish.

"Say no more. Let's go, Vice Marshal Lu, follow me into the city, I have prepared a few jars of fine wine, for that kind of wind. ”

Cao became stunned for a while, remembered what was going on, and hurriedly said to Lu Xiangsheng and his party.

After all, the biggest purpose of the convergence of the two armies was to negotiate a plan as soon as possible: how to reduce the casualties of the soldiers and soldiers, and advance the defense line of the Western Liaoning Corridor all the way to the Great Liao River Valley in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Emperor.

This is no simple task.

First of all, it is necessary to organize a brigade of about one million people of the royal building to act with the army.

This is because out of Jinzhou City, not far away, is the territory where the Tartars are entrenched, and the speed of advancement will definitely be affected, and it is necessary to prevent the Tartars from sneaking up.

Second, because after leaving Jinzhou City, the road is more rugged and difficult, and there are many large and small rivers, so it is necessary to build Daguan Road on a large scale and advance all the way along Daguan Road to be safe.

Before the completion of the construction of large stone bridges over rivers of various sizes, even the materials and tools for building pontoon bridges had to be moved with the army.

All in all, there was a lot of preparation to be done, and the next four legions, even if they were combined, would be too busy to keep their feet on the ground.

Whether it is Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Bianjiao, or Liu Zongmin, Cao Wenzhao, they can't wait, and they want to compete with the Tartars and let them bleed.

Everyone is already gearing up and sharpening their knives.
