Leaving the air force barracks, Sun Ce returned to the official mansion.

Enter the backyard and come to the door of Lu Bu's study.

He arched his hand to the study and said, "Chu Hou, I'm back." ”

"Bo Fu is back so soon." Lu Bu's voice came from the study: "Come into the house and talk." ”

Walking into the study, Sun Ce bowed down and said to Lu Bu: "According to the orders of the Marquis of Chu, I went to the air force barracks, Taishi Ziyi has already taken over the paratroopers, and he was busy practicing when I arrived. ”

"Busy practicing?" Lu Bu asked: "Even if he has already gone, at most he took over yesterday, can he train paratroopers now?" ”

"It's really drilling." Sun Ce replied: "Taishi Ziyi seems to have a strong interest in skydiving, I have known him for a long time, and I also know him as a person. If he was interested in something, he would find out until there was nothing left to ponder. ”

"Tai Shici still has such a temperament." Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to Sun Ce: "If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't know. ”

Knowing that Tai Shici had gone to the Air Force and liked to parachute, Lu Bu looked very happy.

Sun Ce showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and finally said to Lu Bu: "Marquis Chu, there is one more thing I think I should report ......"

Seeing the embarrassment on Sun Ce's face, Lu Bu asked, "What else do you have to say?" Bo Fu just said it bluntly, and he didn't need to have any scruples. ”

"I told General Zhao just now, Chu Hou has the heart to take over the Air Force...... Sun Ce lowered his head and said: "Originally, I didn't plan to say it, but I was quick to ......talk about it for a while."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Sun Ce in astonishment: "You told Zilong?" ”

"Exactly." Sun Ce bowed his head and replied, "Please ask the Marquis of Chu to surrender." ”

"Indeed, it is to be condemned." Lu Bu said: "You have found me something for no reason. ”

"General Zhao didn't say anything." Sun Ce replied, "He shouldn't have any ideas......

"You're not him, how do you know he doesn't have ideas?" Lu Bu instructed: "You go to the air force barracks again, invite Zilong over, and say that I have something to say to him." ”

From Lu Bu's performance, it could be seen that he attached great importance to this matter, and Sun Ce agreed and withdrew from the study.

When he arrived at the air force barracks, Zhao Yun was still training soldiers.

It's just that compared to when he came before, Zhao Yun's face was not particularly good-looking.

"General Zhao." Sun Ce stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Marquis Chu invites the general to the study for a while." ”

"Chu Hou summoned me over?" Zhao Yun asked, "Can General Sun reveal what it is for?" ”

"I don't know." He had already said that he had missed the word once, and of course Sun Ce didn't dare to say more: "General Zhao just has to go over, I'm just here to pass on a word." ”

Knowing that he couldn't ask anything from Sun Ce's mouth, Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Annoyed General Sun to lead the way." ”

Sun Ce led Zhao Yun out of the air force barracks.

Zhao Yun asked: "Dare to ask General Sun, did the Marquis of Chu come to me to remove me from my position as commander of the Air Force?" ”

"Probably not." Sun Ce replied: "He didn't mention this matter, he just asked me to invite General Zhao." ”

The more Sun Ce refused to speak, the more confused Zhao Yun became.

followed Sun Ce to the official mansion, entered the backyard and went to the door of the study.

Zhao Yun was waiting outside the study, while Sun Ce arrived at the door and said to Lu Bu in the room, "Marquis Chu, I invited General Zhao here." ”

"Quickly invite Zilong to the house to talk." Lu Bu's voice came from the study.

Sun Ce said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, the Marquis of Chu is invited." “

"There's General Rauson." Zhao Yun thanked Sun Ce again, and then walked into the study.

Lu Bu in the study heard footsteps and looked up.

Seeing that it was Zhao Yun, a smile appeared on his face and said, "Zilong is finally here, I have been waiting for a while." ”

"Dare to ask Chu Hou, but what do you command?" On the way, he was still speculating whether Lu Bu was going to take out his air force commander, and he didn't want to ask too much in front of Lu Bu, so Zhao Yun could only bow and salute.

"Bo Fu told me just now, and he mentioned to Zilong that I had plans to ask you to lead the cavalry." A smile appeared on Lu Bu's face, and he asked Zhao Yun, "Inviting Zilong over, in fact, I also want to ask Zilong what he means." Do you prefer the Air Force, or do you prefer to lead the cavalry on horseback? ”

Zhao Yun replied: "Whatever Chu Hou wants me to do, I will do it." ”

"If it weren't for Zilong, the Air Force wouldn't have grown to the size it has today." Lu Bu sighed and said, "To tell the truth, I always feel a little uneasy about transferring you from the air force to command the cavalry. When the cavalry grows stronger, in case the air force is abandoned again......"

"I heard that Chu Hou plans to ask Lu Zijing to take over the Air Force." Zhao Yun asked suddenly.

"That's the idea." Lu Bu said: "In the future, most of the air force raids behind the enemy's back were completed by paratroopers. In the future, the role of the glider should only be used to detect the enemy. Leaving you there really limits what you can do. There is no need to fight on the battlefield anymore, it would be good for someone like Lu Zijing who is not skilled in martial arts to take over. But if Zilong is reluctant to the Air Force, I won't force it. ”

When Sun Ce mentioned that Lu Bu had the intention to transfer him out of the Air Force, Zhao Yun was indeed a little puzzled.

After Lu Bu's explanation, Zhao Yun's mood was much happier.

If the Air Force really doesn't have to fight anymore, it really doesn't make sense for him to stay.

As a general, he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, which will really make him feel bored.

He asked Lu Bu, "What does Chu Hou mean that in the future, the glider will no longer be used to land behind the enemy's back?" ”

"Exactly." Lu Bu replied: "Now that we have paratroopers, wouldn't it be very expensive to use gliders to land behind enemy troops? What a paratrooper can do, a glider can do, is no longer appropriate. I've been thinking about this for a long time. There aren't many war horses in Xuzhou now, but I'll try my best to get some more horses. With enough horses, I believe that the cavalry under the command of Zilong will also be a force to be reckoned with. ”

Looking at Zhao Yun, Lu Bu asked again: "I don't know if Zilong is willing to stay in the Air Force, or is he willing to help me train an elite cavalry?" ”

"Chu Hou can trust me, I will definitely bring the cavalry out." In the future, the Air Force will only undertake reconnaissance and other tasks, of course Zhao Yun doesn't want to stay there and mess around, if his martial arts are not displayed, it will really make him feel that he is useless.

"Now there are only three or four thousand cavalry in Xuzhou." Lu Bu said: "Although the number of people is small, it is also more spectacular and more complex than the air force. When Lu Zijing returned to Pengcheng, Zilong handed over the air force first, and then went to take over the cavalry. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu sighed: "It will take time to make these adjustments, but unfortunately we don't have a chance." The day of the crusade against Cao Cao is getting closer and closer, Lu Zijing will take over the air force for a short time, and you will not have time to practice when you take over the cavalry, so you can only train the soldiers on the battlefield. ”

"It's better to experience on the battlefield than on the school field." Zhao Yun replied: "Since Chu Hou handed over the Air Force to me, I will definitely live up to my mission." ”

Lu Bu stood up, walked towards Zhao Yun, patted his arm lightly and said, "Actually, Zilong also knows that there are not many people under my command who can use it now. I was also thinking about it before, trying to find a suitable person to lead the cavalry. In the future, cavalry will be a force to be reckoned with. Especially in the frontal charge, the power of the cavalry is much stronger than that of the infantry army. ”

Zhao Yun didn't agree with Lu Bu's statement very much.

The cavalry he knew had always been tasked with detours or explorations, and there was no way to charge the enemy head-on.

Seeing the astonishment on Zhao Yun's face, Lu Bu smiled slightly: "The cavalry in the past were all light cavalry, and of course they were unable to attack the enemy on the battlefield. Tomorrow, I'll have someone design armor for war horses, and in addition to that, he'll have everything else to do with heavy cavalry. With those, the cavalry under the command of Zilong in the future will sweep the world and make the world look sideways. ”

He hadn't heard of the difference between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, and Zhao Yun really couldn't think of what it looked like to wear armor on a war horse.

He was stunned and asked Lu Bu, "Chu Hou thinks that war horses can be worn with armor?" ”

"What's not to do?" Lu Bu said: "People can wear armor, and so can war horses. Not only that, today's cavalry is not very stable on horseback, as long as we solve the problem of soldiers riding war horses steadily, it is not too difficult to develop a heavy cavalry that is enough to dominate the world. ”

The picture depicted by Lu Bu swirled in Zhao Yun's mind.

Imagining leading a heavy cavalry with armor on a war horse galloping on the battlefield, Zhao Yun only felt that his blood was surging, and he couldn't wait to train such a soldier and horse immediately.

"Training heavy cavalry is not something that can be done overnight." Seeing that Zhao Yun was looking forward to it, Lu Bu said to him: "I will handle the armor and horses, and as for the cavalry soldiers, they will be handed over to Zilong." I don't want to train too early, and in a year Zilong wants me to see a decent heavy cavalry. ”

"As long as Chu Hou can trust me, I will definitely be able to train a cavalry like Chu Hou described in a year." Zhao Yun bowed down and said, "Please rest assured that Chu Hou." ”

"Only the two of us know about this, Zilong don't go out and talk nonsense." Lu Bushen whispered to Zhao Yun: "In case it reaches the ears of Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they will practice it first, and we will be in a lot of trouble." ”

"Don't worry, Chu Hou, I understand." Zhao Yun immediately responded.

"Before Lu Zijing came back, he also asked Zilong to put more thought into the Air Force officers." Lu Bu said: "The paratroopers were handed over to General Taishi, and I also took into account that he was good at using short halberds, while Zilong was good at spears. The long weapon is applied on horseback, and the horizontal gun immediately shows the true character of the hero. If Zilong is allowed to lead the paratroopers, although it is hearty to fall from the sky, it is difficult to use the spear after landing. Zilong should be able to understand these considerations of mine. ”

"I understand Chu Hou's hard work." Zhao Yun replied: "What Chu Hou said is indeed reasonable, and I also think that it is smoother to use a spear on horseback." ”

"Now that Zilong understands, I won't say more." Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said to Zhao Yun: "Bo Fu went back to the air force barracks and said that you are training soldiers, I don't know how this will be practiced?" ”

"Everything that should be practiced has been drilled." Zhao Yun replied: "Before Lu Zijing takes over, I will sort out the methods for training the Air Force and hand them all over to him at that time." ”

"Drill the Air Force, but you figured it out." Lu Bu said: "Being able to tell others about these shows that Zilong is broad-minded. ”

"I also serve the Marquis of Chu, and I should do my best." Zhao Yun replied: "The Marquis of Chu believes me, first handed over the air force to me, and now he wants to hand over the heavy cavalry to me." If I don't care, wouldn't I have failed the grace of Chu Hou's knowledge. ”

"Of course, the word "en" is heavy." Lu Bu replied with a smile: "Zilong and I are like brothers, but we just support each other. In the future, don't mention it again. ”

"I have written down the teachings of the Marquis of Chu." Zhao Yun bowed and said to Lu Bu: "Don't dare to delay Chu Hou for too long, I'll retire first." ”

"I'll send Zilong." personally sent Zhao Yun to the door of the study, and Lu Bu instructed Sun Ce, who was waiting outside: "Bo Fu will send Zilong back for me." ”

Sun Ce agreed, and said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, please!" ”

Zhao Yun retired again, and then left with Sun Ce.

Seeing Zhao Yun and Sun Ce go away, Lu Bu returned to the study.

The war against Cao Cao had entered the preparatory stage, and Lu Bu knew very well that Cao Cao was also not idle when he was making these preparations.

In terms of overall strength, although Lu Bu has the ability to compete with Cao Cao, he is still relatively weaker.

Cao Cao's strategists and generals were innumerable, and in addition to the few people who had served earlier, the only ones he could use were those who came from the eastern end of the river......

Since Liu Bei threw himself into Xu Du, Lu Bu has been smeared a lot by him in front of Cao Cao.

Although the "imperial uncle" has now offended Cao Cao, and even turned his back on Yuan Shao and fled to Jingzhou, the Liangzi between Cao Cao and Lu Bu is completely settled.

Lu Bu and Cao Cao both knew very well that sooner or later there would be a war between each other.

If neither side was destroyed, neither he nor Cao Cao could sleep soundly.

The breath of war is getting stronger and stronger, and the day of crusade against Cao Cao is getting closer and closer.

The time that could be used to prepare Lu Bu was also getting less and less, and even if he made full use of this time, many things were impossible to prepare sufficiently.

For example, large numbers of paratroopers and heavy cavalry.

Once these two arms are established, even if most of Cao Cao's soldiers are fierce warriors in a hundred battles, Lu Bu will not worry at all.

A completely new class of troops, put into the battlefield, do not think about the long-term first, just say that the few battles that are only put into the battle, will definitely catch Cao Jun off guard......

It's a pity that Lu Bu planned to build a new army too late, and when he considered this, the war was already quietly approaching.

Back in the study, he closed the bamboo slip he had seen earlier, and Lu Bu came to the window.

Looking out the window, there was a rare solemnity on his face.

Compete with Cao Cao for hegemony in the Central Plains, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed.

But Lu Bu has no way back, and the only choice in front of him is to keep moving forward!
