Chapter 176: Where will the enemy be?

Murong Nan laughed: "Liu Yu, now do you know the importance of riding and deputy horses?" You don't always wear armor when you march, and so do we, let alone the horses! ”

Liu Yu suddenly realized, nodded his head, and said thoughtfully: "So that's the case, no wonder you Hu people have to ride a few horses alone, it turns out that you use another horse to carry these weapons and baggage." ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head again: "It's still a little wrong, the weapon and baggage can be placed on the auxiliary horse at ordinary times, but what about the grain and grass?" Also, your full set of equipment alone weighs at least 200 pounds, and I'm afraid a horse can't carry it. ”

Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "The armor of people and horses, plus these weapons, does add up to about two hundred catties, but the war horses in our north are not the short pack horses in your south, look at the horses you are riding now, they are obviously much taller and stronger than the horses used to pull carts in your army, and the weight of more than two hundred catties may be very heavy for your southern horses, but the high war horses in our north are selected from millions of horses, not to mention two hundred catties, even if you usually carry another hundred catties, it is not a problem." ”

"Usually we ride the main horse, let the auxiliary horse carry these baggage and grain, and when it is time to fight, we must wear it all to ensure that the horsepower of the main horse can be used in the battle array. Liu Yu, do you understand? This is the same reason that in your Jin army, there are combat soldiers, baggage soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I used to think that the Hu people were not as smart as the Han people, but they relied on bravery and fierceness, it seems that I was wrong, this marching formation, all kinds of tactics, you are not worse than us at all." ”

Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, I miss my Murong family, who has been in Liaodong for hundreds of years, has always accepted the title of the Han dynasty, and there are often Han scholars who take refuge in my Liaodong, so we are all familiar with all kinds of military regulations and tactics of the Han army." And in the eyes of you Han people, we are just barbarians, and we don't care about it at all, so how can we bother to know how we fight? There are clouds in your Sun Tzu's Art of War, and only when you know the other can you survive a hundred battles, this principle does not distinguish between Han and Hu people. ”

Liu Yu's heart was gloomy for a while, although Murong Nan's words were not listened to, but it was indeed a fact, the Han people had been lying on the merits and glory of their ancestors for too long, and they were unwilling to take the powerful barbarians around them seriously even militarily, which is the fundamental reason why the north has fallen now and cannot be recovered by many northern expeditions. If it is said that the Yongjia Rebellion was due to the civil war of the Eight Kings, which caused the Hu people to take advantage of the situation, but now it is like this, I am afraid that when it comes to the battlefield, it is still the opponent of the northern Hu riding iron horses.

Murong Nan looked at Liu Yu silently, and guessed a little bit of his thoughts, and then smiled: "Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic, although the northern cavalry is invincible on the plains, but when you come to the land south of the Yangtze River, the water network is vertical and horizontal, and the diet and climate are very different, which is the world of you southerners." Our northern cavalry has also gone south many times, and we can't take advantage of it, so it is fair to say that the heavens are fair, and the separation between the north and the south is the biggest reason for maintaining the current boundary between our two sides, even if you can't enter the Central Plains, but there is no problem in protecting the southern half of the wall. ”

Liu Yu's heart rushed up with pride, and he said loudly: "Brother Murong, I don't dare to agree with this. Now it is not that we Han people want to take away the land of your Hu people, but the homeland of our Han people for thousands of years. If someone takes away the Great Xianbei Mountain of your Xianbei people, will you also turn a blind eye to it? ”

The smile on Murong Nan's face gradually dissipated, his eyes revealed a sad color, and he let out a long sigh: "Yes, although your Jin Kingdom has experienced the Yongjia Rebellion, at least half of the country is still there, and our Dayan, however, even the ancestral sacrifice place has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the Dragon City, which started out, has become the territory of a foreign enemy state, so that we, the descendants, have the face to meet our ancestors?!" ”

Liu Yu saw that Murong Nan's expression became sad, and he was also a little embarrassed, after all, he was a remnant of the country, so it was not good to arouse his sad past, he snorted and said: "Okay, we are all fallen people at the end of the world, we should work together now to restore our country, didn't we all say it last time, let's join forces to destroy the Qin State, in the future, you take your former residence, we will restore our rivers and mountains, and we will always be good for the alliance, isn't it happy?!" ”

Murong Nan looked straight at Liu Yu, his eyes flashed, and after a long time, he shook his head: "That's what the big people above decide, and we people can only be like duckweed in the wind, at the mercy of others, and act according to orders." Liu Yu, you hate the Hu people so much, I am also a Hu people, if one day in the future, Da Jin and Da Yan have a conflict, will you kill me? ”

Liu Yu instinctively shook his head: "No, we are friends, I won't kill you." ”

Murong Nan turned his head and said faintly: "Never say no, you can't control your own destiny, if it was Xie Dashuai who ordered you to kill me, would you carry it out?" ”

Liu Yu's heart was at a loss for a while, he had thought about this question before, but he was always reluctant to think about it deeply, on the one hand, he didn't like Murong Nan very much, but he had an indescribable feeling about this person, feeling that he was as far away as he was, sometimes near and sometimes far away, it seemed that he was taunting himself from time to time, arguing, and competing for the short and long, but it seemed that he had been defending himself in his heart, this feeling was something that Liu Jingxuan's brothers in robes had never brought to him, and I don't know when, he found that he was a little inseparable from this Xianbei person.

But on the other hand, he also reminded himself countless times that this is an outlier of the Hu clan after all, and now he is just completing the above transaction with himself, and maybe one day he will really turn against each other and fight for his life, and it may not be impossible for you to live or die.

Therefore, Liu Yu has also deliberately kept a certain distance from Murong Nan, just so that there will really be such a day in the future, because of the situation, he can't do it, after all, Liu Yu knows that although he is ruthless and happy to be ruthless to the enemy, he still can't do it if he really wants to attack someone who has had a relationship, just like Liu Yi, if he really kills Liu Jingxuan, will he really seek revenge against him? This is a question that he himself will not be able to answer.

Murong Nan kept looking at Liu Yu, and he suddenly laughed: "Okay, just kidding, you still admit it." You don't need to answer this question, because even if you do, you may not be able to do it in the future. At least for now, you are Liu Yu, I am Murong Nan, we are friends who fought against Qin together, this is enough, as for the future, let's talk about it later. Come, let's get on with riding! ”

Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Okay, continue to practice." ”
