The Republican Army has a strong economic attraction ability, especially his financial ability is far from some of the main situations they can complete, in this case, the economy of the imperial court is passively being brought into the economic rhythm of the Republican Army, Xun Yu easily found a solution to the relocation of funds.

Cao Cao noticed Xun Yu's discovery, and he thought Xun Yu was a talented man. However, Xun Yu has not yet discovered Cao Cao's ambitions, or rather, Cao Cao has not yet shown the value he should have. There has been no further major relationship between the two sides.

Hedong, inside the headquarters of Ma Heng.

"I am opposed to the dispersion of cavalry troops, if a cavalry company is drawn, I can support this, after all, they are only equipped with infantry divisions to fight, but the cavalry regiment does not agree to the transfer of a battalion of troops, and the training of excellent cavalry consumes a lot of time and energy, and if this is done, it is equivalent to dispersing the combat strength of the cavalry, and the cavalry, only when they are concentrated, can they play a role on a large scale." Ma Liu said. As the only cavalry regiment of the Republican Army at present, the military commander of the cavalry, Ma Liu has reason to oppose this.

Because their future opponents were the Huns, or even more nomads in the steppe, their combat effectiveness was quite fierce, and if the cavalry forces were dispersed, the battle against them would be extremely bad. Ma Liu naturally opposed such a battle.

After the initial engagement, and study, the Republican Army began to perceive the mystery of cavalry warfare, mobility, especially they felt that the main significance of cavalry was that cavalry needed to carry out rapid maneuver operations in great depth, and such combat requirements required each of them to have at least three horses, capable of continuous combat, large-scale and in-depth operations, and penetrated deep into places where the enemy thought it was impossible.

Even Ma Liu boldly believed that the cavalry would carry out a long-distance attack of up to 1,000 miles. And it's become the norm. In such a situation, many of them are actually in a state where it is difficult to deal with them, and if the savings continue in such a situation, the results can be imagined.

They needed more than eighteen thousand horses. Because their number was close to six thousand, in addition to this, a large number of horses were needed, because they needed to ensure that their logistics were usually available. In this way, the number of horses required to maintain a single cavalry regiment could be close to a staggering 25,000 to 30,000 horses, and the Republican Army would not be able to meet such operational needs in any case.

At present, the combat units of the infantry divisions in the two main directions, Hedong and Hexi, still lack the necessary cavalry combat units, and they need to be equipped with a cavalry regiment, and the expansion of the cavalry regiment needs to be completed by drawing a certain combat unit from the cavalry regiment. Ma Liu was extremely opposed to this, he believed that the combat combat mission of the cavalry unit of the infantry division was reconnaissance, counterattack, and chasing the enemy, and the combat mission was not very large, and he opposed the dispersion of the forces of the cavalry regiment to do such a thing.

He wants to focus on big things,

However, if this is not done, it will seriously delay the formation of cavalry units of various infantry divisions, and both infantry divisions lack the necessary cavalry units, not only that, but in many important defensive areas, they also need to maintain a certain number of cavalry reconnaissance, patrol, and liaison forces, so that the number of cavalry needed will be greatly increased.

"If we don't transfer it, how can we form cavalry units, we can't always maintain the traditional combat strength of infantry divisions and infantry, right?" An infantry staff officer said with great dissatisfaction.

The meaning of reorganization is beginning to be understood. In the past, the infantry divisions of the Republican Army were only simple infantry, plus artillery, and engineering units were not very numerous, but with the reorganization, the various combat units of the infantry division began to become complete, and they had engineers, artillery, especially artillery units, and at the same time logistics combat units were also strengthened. This means that the combat strength of the Republican Army, as well as the synthesis of combat units, will be strengthened, they will no longer be a single infantry combat mode, and their combat strength will be further improved. In such a situation, they need a large number of cavalry combat units. Such a situation is a great disaster for anyone. However, if such a situation cannot be improved in a timely and effective manner, it is impossible to achieve such a state.

Especially cavalry units. If used, as well as the composition becomes a puzzle.

Cavalry is a very technical branch of the army, and most importantly, it also spends a lot, so how to form the top of the Republican Army has increased a lot.

"My suggestion is to take some measures to accomplish such a situation, and to transfer a certain number of cavalry units, which have a certain need for counterattack combat capabilities, will be of great help to us." The operational staff officer said.

Combat units attached to cavalry divisions have become urgent. Infantry regiments should have cavalry companies, and infantry divisions should have cavalry regiments. This is the most basic requirement, because it is very simple, the infantry regiment has the support of cavalry, they have a certain ability to pursue, before when they fought against the Huns, they often suffered such a loss, and when they fought with the state army, they had already encountered the same problem. This is a very prominent problem.

"I object, the training time spent on training a rider is relatively long, especially the elite troops that can withstand the requirements of long-distance and long-distance raids, if they are scattered, it will be a pity, our cavalry units are engaged in strategic tasks, and the cavalry units of infantry divisions, they are only responsible for small-scale combat missions, and even the tasks of expulsion, reconnaissance, local counterattack, and opening up the battlefield, in this way, the requirements for us are very low, and our cavalry units are dispersed. The first is to disperse forces, and secondly, in terms of combat missions, it is a waste of military power. Ma Liu said.

Such rhetoric aroused the displeasure of the infantry at once, and the whole meeting suddenly entered a noisy stage. Ma Heng had a headache, because there were so many cavalry resources.

The number of war horses that Hexi Prefecture can provide is only a pitiful thousand, while the number of imported horses can reach three thousand. But the steppe people were cunning, and they castrated the horses. This makes it impossible to provide a stable supply of the number and quality of horses. Hexi Prefecture is not a very good horse breeding base, they need the Hetao, and only by restoring to the Hetao can they have more horses.

There are so many resources, but the increase in cavalry strength brought about by the reorganization cannot meet such a demand, which is an imbalance, and the imbalance makes everyone feel very bad. In fact, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Republican Army was unable to fundamentally solve the cavalry problem.

"What the cavalry units lacked was not just horses, but more of the idea of mobile warfare. We should be clear that we used to fight on two legs, but now we have to evolve into four legs, and more wheels. Shang Wu said. In the context of a massive reduction in the number of troops, especially with a greater impact on logistical dependence, they need a completely new way of fighting to develop.

It was under such a circumstance that mobile warfare was developed. They need to exert maximum combat effectiveness with limited forces. This requires greater mobility. and more horses, as well as logistical support for the advancement of strength. It's hard to do that.

"We have a big gap in the number of horses, at least more than 20,000 horses. On top of that, we need more horses to keep us supplied, so we need about 40,000 to 50,000 horses. Jia Xu said.

"We still rely on ox carts for our logistical supplies. Slow. Shangwu said helplessly, the idea is good, but the reality is extremely cruel, Shangwu has to face such an extremely cruel situation to deal with, this is the situation they need to deal with, if they can't deal with such a situation in time, they can't deal with such a state at all. That's what they're dealing with right now.

"The Huns are full of fraud on our trade, we must get our own horse farm, and we must break this unfavorable state as much as possible." Shang Wu said.

"Well, Dong Zhuo's Li Dao has come here, he is resting, let's not meet. He can get more horses we need from Xiliang. Jia Xu said.

"Well, yes, as long as we can get horses, we can still export some goods, of course. We must need stallions, not castrated versions, which is an insult to us. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. I agree with this, but it is not enough to have a stallion, we still need a horse farm, we must open up the situation on the Hetao side as soon as possible, at least on the front to be able to get close to each other without limit. Jia Xu said.

"It would be nice if the Huns and Wuhuan were inseparable. In that case, our situation would not be so bad. Shang Wu said.

"Well, I agree." Jia Xu nodded and said. They need to suppress each other and put themselves in a very favorable position, so that their situation can be effectively improved and improved.
