Jiangyou City, Liu Yao inspected the stables with his hands behind his back, these more than 800 war horses were exchanged by Li You with the Han army brothers, Liu Yao couldn't put down these precious war horses, just heard that Li You put the horses away, Liu Yao couldn't wait to take Guan Xiu and a few of them to see.

"Your Highness, why don't you let me pick a few horses in the camp, there are no horses in the Jianning army." Guan Xiu said to Liu Yao on the side.

"There are no doors!" Liu Yao immediately rejected Guan Xiu.

Not only Guan Xiu, there are not a few of these horses in the Han army, that is, Guan Xiu and Liu Yao are brothers of the family, and they dare to ask him.

The other Sha Sigu was hindered by the fact that he was a guest army in Nanzhong, so he didn't dare to open his mouth to Liu Yao, Chen She was actually eyeing these horses, but he didn't open his mouth because of his feelings, so he simply asked Guan Xiu to ask for it first, as long as Guan Xiu was given horses, he couldn't say anything if he didn't give them in other camps.

In this Jiangyou offensive and defensive battle, the Han army also lost a lot of people due to the failure of the first siege, and the 5,800 Han troops brought in it, at present, there are only 1,000 Jianning troops in Guan Xiu and 1,500 barbarian soldiers in Sha Sigu, and Chen She's 800 personal guards have almost no big losses, and they can still maintain 800 establishments.

Liu Yao looked at the more than 800 war horses, which were basically Xiliang's Dawan BMWs, strong and tall, looking very mighty, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Since coming to this era, he just wants to adapt here, but he doesn't want to change the situation here, but now he has lived for half a year, and he has feelings for these people and the country, even Liu Chan is his nominal father, and he can't bear to be captured by the Wei army, in order to survive, and for the people he knows, he has to try his best to change their ending, although it is very difficult, Liu Yao has to give it a try.

"These 800 Dawan horses, just keep them, I will be of great use in the future!" Liu Yao walked to the side of the stable and stroked the Dawan horse with her hand, her heart full of yearning.

"Big use? What's the use? Shu is mostly mountainous and forested, which is not conducive to cavalry fighting, so it is better to distribute the horses to the battalion lieutenant generals. Guan Xiu muttered.

Seeing Guan Xiu complaining, Chen She was also a little puzzled, and asked at the moment: "Your Highness, doesn't you want to form a cavalry unit?" ”

Liu Yao heard Chen She ask him, nodded and replied: "Have you ever heard of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, as well as Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant, both of which are one of the strongest cavalry units in the world, and I want to build a cavalry that is even stronger than them!" ”

After that, Liu Yao's face was yearning.

Seeing Liu Yao's expectation, Chen She couldn't bear to hit him, but still said, "Your Highness, have you ever thought that there are troops in Shu who are good at cavalry warfare?" Most of the infantry in Shu have never ridden horses, and training cavalry is not something that can be completed overnight! ”

Liu Yao also returned to reality from fantasy at this time, and couldn't help sighing, and said: "The matter of forming cavalry can only be said after the restoration of the country, now that the Wei invasion has not retreated, where is there time to train cavalry, alas, the weakness of Shu is really difficult to break." ”

After Liu Yao finished speaking, several Han army generals were silent, and the Shu Han army had never paid much attention to cavalry.

Chen She persuaded Liu Yao again: "Since the death of the first emperor, there has been almost no large-scale cavalry in Shu, only the special infantry such as General Wang Ping's Wudang Fei Army and my father's Bai Yu Army can play an unexpected role in the battlefield, Your Highness must not put too much thought on the cavalry." ”

Liu Yao was thinking about how to make the best use of these horses, and when he heard Chen She's persuasion to himself, he thought that veterans like Wang Ping and Chen Zhi who could train had already passed away, and there were almost no generals in Shu who could train soldiers, so he said helplessly again:

"Now that those old generals have passed away, my Han talent is really lacking, through several battles against the Wei army, I still feel that the Han soldiers are not as strong as the Wei soldiers."

Guan Xiu saw Liu Yao so helpless, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and echoed:

"Since the five tiger generals of the first emperor passed away one after another, the generals of the Han Dynasty are not as good as the generation, thinking about how majestic the ancestor Guan Junhou was when he flooded the Seventh Army, and now I can only be a county general."

Guan Xiu said that the former Five Tiger Generals, Liu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly asked Chen She:

"Chen She, you have been in Chengdu for a long time, do you know that General Ma Chao, the five tiger general of the first emperor, where did his invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry go?"

Chen She thought for a moment and replied:

"After General Ma Chao passed away, the Xiliang army was handed over to his son General Ma Cheng to command for a period of time, but later Prime Minister Zhuge went out of Qishan on a steep road to the north, and the cavalry could not play a role, so it was disbanded by Prime Minister Zhuge ."

Liu Yao's face suddenly showed joy, although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was gone, as long as the commander was still there, he would definitely be able to train another powerful cavalry in time, and hurriedly asked:

"Where is General Ma Cheng now?"

Chen She shook his head and replied: "General Ma Cheng inherited the title of General Ma Chao and the Xiliang cavalry, and later his Xiliang cavalry was mostly old, and was disbanded by the princes and prime ministers during the Northern Expedition, and General Ma Cheng abandoned the official and left, but General Ma Cheng's hometown Liangzhou is now the territory of Wei, and it is impossible for General Ma Cheng to go back, some people say that he went to the Western Regions." ”

"What a pity!" Liu Yao heard Chen She's words and said bitterly.

At this time, Liu Yao was disappointed again, a good cavalry general was forced away, and the matter of forming a cavalry could only be put on hold for a while.

"Report ~ Your Highness!"

When Liu Yao and the Han generals continued to inspect the stables, a Han sergeant suddenly ran over.

"What's the matter? Could it be that Yongliang's Wei army reinforcements have arrived? Liu Yao saw the soldiers running in a panic, and her heart chuckled.

"Your Highness, it's not the Wei army that came, it was the general who sent someone over, outside the city gate, and the guards were worried that it was the Wei army who was a spy and didn't let people in." The soldier replied.

"Oh? The general sent someone, let's go, let's go and see. Liu Yao heard the report of the Han soldiers, so he said to the Han generals behind him.

Not long after, Liu Yao led the group to the head of Jiangyou City, Liu Yao lay on the female wall and looked at the city, and two Han soldiers rode fast horses to wander under the city.

"Guo Da? Wang? Liu Yao shouted with some surprise.

The two Han soldiers heard someone shouting at the head of the city, and looked up to see that it was their Royal Highness the King of Anding.

"Your Highness! It's us! Guo Da and Wang Shi saw Liu Yao on the head of the city and responded.

After Liu Yao confirmed that it was them, he hurriedly called the soldiers guarding the city and ordered:

"Quick! Open the gates and let the two brothers in! ”
