"No wonder Dong Zhuo can block the attack of the eighteen-way princes, the amount of money invested in the construction of this Xiliang Iron Cavalry alone is huge", Liu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, Li Ru is really powerful, he can make Dong Zhuo spend so much money to build an army, and the most terrible thing is that no matter how greedy Dong Zhuo is, he doesn't want to sell the equipment of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"The predecessor of the White Robe Army was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" , Zhao Yun asked in surprise, when Jia Xu came with the army, it was already called the White Robe Army, but he didn't expect it to be the famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry, no wonder the equipment can be so good, Zhao Yun also guessed before, but he has not been sure, although the equipment of the White Robe Army is a bit excessive, but no one knows if this is the army built by the princes with all their financial resources was fooled by Liu Yi, and he really didn't think about it in the direction of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Yes, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the past is today's White Robe Army, after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Ru was also disheartened and unwilling to leave Chang'an, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was leaderless, part of it followed Li Dao Guo Yan to attack Chang'an, and the other part let Wen He bring Chengyang, but after all, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a chaotic party, we can't make it difficult for Xuande Gong, so we changed the name of the White Robe Army", Liu Yi said with a smile, it is estimated that Liu Bei has long known that the White Robe Army is the matter of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, after all, how can this kind of thing be hidden from Liu Bei, You can get the truth by investigating it casually, but what Liu Bei wants is a fig leaf, he is a clan member of the Han family, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Horse has done too much to the Han family, if he accepts the Xiliang Iron Horse on the surface, the world will poke his backbone, even if the pseudonym Baipao is pointed out, it doesn't matter, anyway, Liu Bei doesn't want to know who says it's useless, and the world only recognizes the name Xiliang Iron Horse.

"No wonder", Zhao Yun figured out everything in an instant, and looked at Liu Yi with even more admiration.

The chaos in Chang'an has nothing to do with Qingzhou, thousands of miles apart, what can be done? It will take several days to pass on the news, but I didn't expect Liu Yi to be able to collect part of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and let Jia Xu bring it back to Qingzhou, it is really a stroke of genius, Zhao Yun feels that there are few things that can be done in this world, you must know that this matter is not simple, first of all, you must have a forward-looking vision, you can see that Chang'an will be chaotic, Dong Zhuo will die, try to ask who in this world can be so confident in judging life and death? And you can convince Jia Xu, at least when Chang'an was in turmoil, the first thing he thought of was to find you, how far is Qingzhou from Chang'an? Across Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Jia Xu can go to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, leading these Xiliang iron horses, they will be regarded as guests wherever they go, but they choose to trek through mountains and rivers to join Liu Bei, or Liu Yi, which shows how much influence Liu Yi has on Jia Xu.

"Zilong, you have time to put the white-robed army in order, list those soldiers with horse lances as the front row, follow them with the first sword, and don't need to say when the crossbow arrows will be fired, so that the combat effectiveness may be higher", Liu Yi thought about it and said, before he also wanted to see if the white-robed army could be transformed into heavy cavalry, but it turned out that Liu Yi thought too much, the equipment of the white-robed army has been formed, there is no need for Liu Yi to change blindly, they are already familiar with their weapons and combat, there is no need for that.

"Okay," Zhao Yun said.

Liu Yirang also had a certain basis for placing the white-robed army in this way, and the combat habits in the north were just one word, rigid.

When the time came to go to the battlefield, Zhao Yun took those soldiers with horse lances to charge forward, rushing away from the opponent's camp, and the slashing and slashing of the Huanshou Sword Brigade behind was not too amazing.

The battle style of the Three Kingdoms is called a fierce one, directly rushing to the face, taking the battle of the white horse that beheaded Yan Liang as an example, Guan Yu personally rushed into Yan Liang's main formation and hacked the other party to death with one sword. Luo Guanzhong's interpretation of this battle is: Liu Bei instructed Yan Liang before leaving, saying that Guan Yu would defect to Yunyun on the battlefield at that time. As a result, Yan Liang believed that it was true, Guan Yu borrowed the red rabbit horse again, Yan Liang did not react, and was hacked to death with a knife. It can be said that Liu Bei used strategy to calculate Yan Liang.

However, the picture of the Battle of White Horse presented in the history books is completely different, although Guan Yu's troops did follow the strategy of the military division and successfully attacked by surprise, but Yan Liang's reaction was very different. Yan Liang was startled at first, and then organized an army to counterattack, and personally rushed up to attack Guan Yu. That is to say, compared to Liu Bei's strategy, let Guan Yu take advantage of his unpreparedness, the real battle of the white horse may be a little simpler, the two groups of people charge each other, Guan Yu's cavalry is more ferocious, and he won, it can be said that the way of fighting is brainless, leading the cavalry elite to the face of the local general, Liu Yi looked at Zhao Yun, I don't know if Zhao Yun can do it to that extent, after all, this body is so bad,

In the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao went to attack a unit of Lü Bu stationed in Puyang, but was captured by Lü Bu. In this battle, Lu Bu himself also fought by himself, commonly known as brainless, and personally took the lead in the charge. When the battle reached a fierce moment, Cao Cao also organized warriors to charge, and Dian Wei led dozens of people with spears and halberds to resist Lu Bu's army, treating bows and crossbows as nothing. Then Dian Wei said to the left and right, "Tell me when the enemy is ten paces away from us." Soon the attendant said, "Ten steps," and Dian Wei said, "Tell me in five steps." The soldiers on the left and right were frightened and shouted: "The enemy is coming!" Dian Wei "shouted up" and threw down several enemy soldiers with his halberd and repelled Lü Bu.

The way of fighting of the northern border generals is about to come out, and the two sides respectively organize a group of elites to attack the opponent's own formation, and decide the victory by directly killing the opponent's coach. Obviously, the victory of this kind of battle depends entirely on which side has higher combat effectiveness of the elite cavalry, and there is no need for any elaborate strategy at all, which is also the reason why Liu Yi arranged for the soldiers with horse lances to be in front, requiring them to open a gap and rush into the enemy's camp, of course, there will also be elite interceptions of the main general in the place, at this time Zhao Yun's use is reflected, and once again the scene of elite against elite, the main general is just the main general.

It is not that there is no strategy in the War of the Three Kingdoms, such as the Battle of Tongguan, Cao Cao often fought with Lu Bu, Liu Bei and others, knowing that it was no fun to directly attack Ma Chao, so he could only coax a little, and did not dare to go out to be tough, and then turned against Ma Chao and Han Sui through the discord strategy, and defeated the Xiliang Army to pacify Guanzhong. Cao Cao in history has "set up strange things, the enemy wins", Lu Bu also commented on him "many", the facts behind this evaluation are very helpless, mainly Cao Cao is difficult to organize and Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Ma Chao and others at the same level of elite troops, so he had to rely on ambushes, discord and other ways to avoid the main attack, take its side to win.

For armies unfamiliar with the tactics of the North, a fierce direct charge is even more deterrent. For example, in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, Zhang Liao personally led 800 elites to rush into the Wu army's main formation, so that Sun Quan was so frightened that he ran to the top of the hill, and Zhang Liao shouted and scolded at the bottom of the hill, asking Sun Quan to come down to meet the battle, but Sun Quan did not dare to go down. In the end, Zhang Liao easily broke through the encirclement and retreated, and this battle made the Wu people demoralized, and the Wu army had to retreat. The great victory of Xiaoyaojin proved that this tactic produced from the junction of Hu and Han was almost invincible at that time.

In fact, there were many Hu and Han people in the northern army at that time, and although there was almost no record in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in fact, Hu mercenaries were also very common. For example, the Southern Xiongnu who robbed Cai Wenji, these Huns moved south with Xianbei after the failure to compete with Xianbei in the Hetao, and lived between Fenshui and Jianshui in Bingzhou, and lived further south in Shan Yu, and lived directly in Sizhou.

Of course, these Huns can do more than just rob the population, and many warlords in the north use these Huns as mercenaries. After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shang fought for the north, and Yuan Shang ordered Gao Gan and Guo Yuan to join forces with the Xiongnu to attack Pingyang at Huchuquan. Cao Cao's side united with Ma Teng to fight against him, which was also Ma Chao's first battle, he was shot in the ankle by a flying arrow in the battle, and after a hasty bandage, he continued the battle, and finally repelled the Yuan army. After the Battle of Pingyang, the Xiongnu surrendered to Cao Cao, and in 216, Hu Chuquan visited Yecheng, but Cao Cao stayed in Yecheng under the pretext of Cao Cao, and his subordinates were divided into five departments to manage, and became Cao Wei's household Qi people.

Another barbarian who worked for Cao Wei was Karasuma, whose chieftain, Bun Dun, had assisted Yuan Shao in defeating Gongsun Zhan and later attempted to help Yuan Shang restore the kingdom, so Cao Cao defended the courtiers' opposition to the expedition against Karasuma. After the defeat of Bunton, Karasuma's people were all relocated inward, and they also became the people of the household. This group of Karasuma people who were relocated inward became an important combat force of the Cao army, and in the words of the Three Kingdoms, these Karasuma people were the world's famous horses. Later, when Cao Pi was in power, the then Yanmen Taishou requisitioned more than 500 Karasuma people, and asked them to prepare saddle horses to patrol the border and detect the movements of the Xianbei people, so as to resist the raids of Kebineng. It can be seen that the direct use of the Hu people by the warlords during the Three Kingdoms period was also very frequent, partly because of the war horse resources of the Hu people, as mentioned earlier, of course, the more important thing is the military resources.
