"Huo Tingshi, I heard that you are very short of war horses now?"

On the official road from Laizhou to Dengzhou, Li Wenzhong asked Huo Cun on the side very casually.

Although Zhang Chan, Li Wenzhong and others made a plan to persuade Wang Shifan to surrender and put it into practice, for the sake of conservatism, Zhang Chan still ordered Li Wenzhong and Huo Cun to go to Dengzhou with an army of 20,000 to put pressure on Wang Shifan.

And Zhang Chan himself is sitting in Laizhou.

Of course, led by Li Wenzhong, with 10,000 Pinglu troops and 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers; Huo Cun was supplemented, with 5,000 Qizhou soldiers.

Huo Cun was shocked in his heart, and the hand holding the reins of the horse was slightly forced, but he said with a smile on his face, "General Li is well-informed. This does not see the strength of the cavalry of the forbidden army, it just so happened that Huo wanted to form a personal army, and planned to make it into a cavalry, but he did not expect to attract the attention of General Li. ”

"However, the war horses under the command of General Li Mouguan Huo are indeed not very good."

Looking at Huo Cunbu's war horse, which was a little reluctant to even count as a second-class war horse in the forbidden army, he was also a little disdainful in his heart.

As the imperial court basically recovered Hexi and Longyou, there was no shortage of war horses for the imperial court.

According to the requirements of the saint, the Taifu Temple divides the war horses into second-class war horses, first-class war horses and superior war horses.

The combat units of the forbidden army are generally first-class war horses, and the high-class war horses are equipped with a very small number of elite troops, such as the left and right Tiance army and a part of the cavalry of the left and right Shence army, or the left and right prison guards and the Shenji battalion, as well as the equipped heavy cavalry.

The second-class war horse was not used as a mount for the cavalry of the forbidden army, but was equipped for the infantry of the forbidden army.

Of course, the local state soldiers are basically second-class war horses.

However, at present, the imperial court is not able to equip every forbidden army with war horses, which is not so extravagant, and only some of the infantry of the forbidden army are equipped with war horses.

The establishment of many pastures in Longyou and Hexi, and the gradual restoration of the horse breeding system of the imperial court, all have their own set of standards.

Just like the 6,000 war horses allocated by the imperial court to the Pinglu army, including 2,000 first-class war horses and 4,000 second-class war horses. In addition to the 2,000 second-class war horses, the other 4,000 war horses were all under the command of Li Wenzhong, and the two carriages he brought with him were under the jurisdiction of the commander, and each formed two cavalry capitals.

Of course, the black war horse under Li Wenzhong's crotch is not an ordinary horse, but a wild horse king.

Originally, it was Xia Suijiedu who made Li Si respectfully present it to Li Ye, but when Li Wenzhong came to Ziqing, Li Ye gave it to him.

Seeing the tall and mighty war horse under Li Wenzhong's crotch, strong limbs, and jet-black hair, Huo Cun was envious.

You must know that even among the several armies under Zhu Wen, the number of cavalry is not much, but only thirty or forty thousand, which is still the number that has only expanded after Li Keyong was wiped out in the past two years, and it was even less before.

Moreover, the quality of Zhu Wen's 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry is also somewhat uneven, after all, the Central Plains region does not produce horses. The horses of the cavalry in Zhu Wen's hands were all purchased in small batches from Guanzhong, Longyou, Hedong, Lulong, Chengde and other places, and there was no guarantee of unification.

However, just these cavalry can allow Zhu Wen to gallop through the Central Plains and punch the Quartet.

"Huo is not like General Li's holy family, and he is a newcomer, so he is naturally discriminated against." Huo Cun laughed at himself.

Huo Tingshi laughed, as long as Huo Tingshi was loyal to the court and the saint, not to mention a little war horse, it would not be impossible to command thousands of troops and horses to gallop on the battlefield in the future.

For the first-class war horse, Li can't help you, but the second-class war horse can still help you get in touch. After all, in Hedong, some places are also eliminating the original war horses, although they are not as good as the war horses used by the forbidden army, but they are also much better than these inferior horses that Huo Tingshi bought in Henghai! Li Wenzhong said with a smile.

"Really?"

Hearing the news, Huo Cun was overjoyed, but he didn't expect things to take a turn for the better. If you can get a war horse from Li Wenzhong's side, it is better than going to Henghai to find a relationship.

"That's nature. But not now, we have to wait until Wang Shifan is calmed down! Li Wenzhong said with a smile.

Li Wenzhong didn't lie, the forbidden army and the local garrison in Hedong were eliminating the old and weak war horses.

For these war horses, they are generally sold to those horse dealers to dispose of.

Although these war horses are all old and weak war horses, they are for the forbidden army, but they are extremely valuable for the feudal towns that lack war horses.

However, because of the secession of feudal towns, ordinary horse dealers could not sell war horses to those places where war horses were in short supply, but Li Wenzhong had a way.

It's just that it depends on what Huo Cun can spend later, if he can't attract him, he won't do such a troublesome thing.

Selling these eliminated war horses, saying that it is illegal, it is not illegal, depending on what you say.

After all, not all of the war horses captured in the previous surprise attack on the Uighurs in Ganzhou went to the Taifu Temple or the military department, and a considerable part of them were sold.

Most of them were bought by some wealthy families in Guanzhong and Shu, and many of them were exiled to the Central Plains.

"Thorn History, is this surnamed Li a fraud? So kind to get us a war horse? Zhang Guiba came to the front with some confusion.

Huo Cun looked at Li Wenzhong in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly, "It's not easy to say, but if he can really get a war horse, it doesn't matter if he cheats or not." ”

To be honest, Huo Cun couldn't figure out what Li Wenzhong thought, deliberately deceiving them, or?

。。。。。。

"Cousin, the court really said that as long as our Wang clan is willing to surrender, we can no longer hold our Wang clan responsible?"

Looking at Wang Shimiao who came back to persuade him to surrender in front of him, Wang Shimin's expression was complicated, but after hesitating for a while, he still wanted to ask about the specific situation.

Don't look at today's Dengzhou plus private soldiers, there are 40,000 people, but except for the 10,000 tooth soldiers they brought, the others can't be counted on at all.

Even the tooth soldiers were a little restless, and in this case, Wang Shifan didn't dare to bet.

After all, he was only a teenager, where had he ever experienced such a thing.

"That's what Li Wenzhong said, he is the Li Tang clan, and there will be no fake. It's just that most of our Wang family may have to move to Chang'an, and this Ziqing should not be able to stay. Wang Shimiao said.

"Marshal, no. If the marshal goes to Chang'an, it will really become a fish on the board, and it will be slaughtered by others! ”

Among the generals below, there are many diehards of the Wang family, is there still less to settle accounts after the autumn? Especially the king of a country.

Do you really think that the holy throne in Chang'an came for nothing?

A person who has experienced Huangchao's attack on Chang'an, from a powerless prince, has successively eliminated Tian Lingzi, Zhu Mei, Yang Fugong, Li Keyong, etc., and even the throne was taken from his brother, will such a person be easy to match?

Wang Shifan looked at Wang Shimiao who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the surrounding Wang clan and those loyal subordinates, stood up and stepped forward, and helped Wang Shimiao up.

"The matter has come to this, Ben Shuai decided to go to Qingzhou in person to ask Cui Anqian to surrender!"
