"Are you sure the message is accurate?"

In Linzi City, dressed in a green cloth shirt, his hair was tied up with a high crown, and the moment he got the news of Wen Chou's defeat and Jiang Qi's death on the battlefield, his pupils shrank rapidly, he wanted to calm down, but under such bad news, how could he be calm in his heart.

"Eldest son, how dare the little one fill you, the dragoon army is less than 5,000 people, but it broke through General Wen's army formation at the moment of rushing, although General Wen fought desperately, but he was unable to return to the sky, and now he does not know his life and death, and his whereabouts are unknown!"

"Dragoons, Dragoons again!" Speaking of which, the shock and fear made Yuan Tan overturn the short table in front of him, Qingzhou fought a good situation, but it changed because of the appearance of the dragoons, how could he not be angry, in his heart, the impression left by the dragoons was not very deep, far less than the Xiliang and Bingzhou cavalry remembered, after all, in the battle of Jizhou, he only faced the Youzhou cavalry, the dragoon army has been in Gaotang, even if it was the front line of the year, on the bank of Luoshui, he was in the Bohai Sea, and he only heard about how brave the dragoons were, But they didn't really take it to heart, if they were really powerful, why didn't they participate in the battle in Jizhou but defended Cao Cao in Gaotang during the Battle of Jizhou, it doesn't make sense.

But how can he know that compared to Yuan Shao, Liu Lan is more afraid of Cao Cao's northward journey.

It was really because of various reasons that Yuan Tan had a few generals under Liu Lan's account in his heart who were very powerful, but there were no elite troops that could handle it, but he ignored one point, how could the troops led by the famous Liu Lan, Xu Guan, Zhang Zhao and the five people be too bad, otherwise how could they be feared by the princes from all walks of life on their own?

The so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers under them. What's more, the ancient army was built first, and the generals were selected first and then the troops were selected. Xu, Guan, and Zhang are all the same, Xu Huang formed a Liaodong Iron Cavalry in Youzhou according to his own wishes. Guan Yu is in the Xuzhou Army, Danyang Army and Liaodong Army selected the most elite soldiers to form a strong combat infantry, as for Zhang Fei, is on the basis of the Yan General Eighteen Cavalry supplemented by the original mine elite, on the other hand, Zhao Yun, although not the first selection of generals and then pick troops, but is the inheritance of Liu Lan's most elite legion dragoon, since its establishment, the dragoon army has been led by Liu Lan, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, with three people to lead the army. There is no need for him to train at all, he can get started as soon as he comes, and give full play to his attainments in cavalry warfare, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of today's dragoon army is strong, and how can it be compared to the third-rate army of Jizhou that came to attack Qingzhou, even if this battle is not met by the dragoons, and when it meets other three-way troops, Wen Chou has no chance of winning.

This is also why Wen Chou has an eye-opening idea in Liu Ying, and Liu Lanzhi can be fierce. If you don't retreat to the death, the general will charge ahead, and the main general who will retreat will stay at the end of the team.

Later on top of that. Xu Huang injected an invincible momentum into the dragoons, and in Guan Yu's hands, he tailored a set of fish-scale charging formations for the dragoons. The combat effectiveness of the Dragoon Army was greatly improved, and it was in the hands of Zhao Yun. The dragoon army changed from light cavalry to heavy cavalry, and Zhao Yun gave full play to his flexible and changeable command ability. Completely turn the Dragoon into an invincible army, and this is something that Wen Chou did not discover.

But that's it, it is indeed beneficial for Wen Chou, being able to observe the dragoon army up close is of great benefit to the future selection and training of soldiers, and he can't wait to try to form such a cavalry now.

Whether it was the Dragoon, the White Horse Yicong, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, or the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he believed that with what he had seen and heard, coupled with his own thoughts on cavalry, after improvement, the trained Jizhou Cavalry would be fearless of any super opponents. He now has a feeling of eagerness to try, and he can't wait to complete this ideal, for all along, to be able to train such an invincible legion, not to mention the ideal of Wen Chou alone, but the common dream of all martial artists.

But it's a pity that he is now a prisoner, life and death are unpredictable, how can there be any more possibility of training and finally winning and taking revenge, but he is also not stupid, he can't die, otherwise he won't eat and drink well now, life is still quite free, if he is not seriously injured, Wen Chou can escape at any time.

It's a pity, it would be nice if the injury was mild. Wen Chou twisted his body, and immediately a pain spread throughout his body, and the pain made him ooze fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and didn't snort.

His mind is all on the training of the cavalry in Youzhou, but there is another thing that worries him, that is, Yuan Tan in Linzi, who is in Linzi, now he doesn't know what the situation is on his side, he hopes to tell him what he thinks now, retreat quickly, give up Linzi and retreat across the Yellow River, and defend the plain, he must no longer hesitate to explain to Yuan Shao as he did back then, if he does not die a soldier, even if he loses, that is the best explanation!

When Wen Chou thought of Yuan Tan, the latter, who also received the news of his defeat, was thinking about it, retiring from the army or guarding Linzi, in terms of his heart, he wanted to defend more, coexist and die with Linzi, and had an escape experience, he never wanted to taste the taste of a lost dog again, and he didn't want to return to Jizhou to see his father's disappointed look.

But he hasn't spoken yet, the main book Hua Yan and Kong Shun around him are the main bookkeepers and one person is the other driver, but both of them are traitors and villains, and their good words are sycophants, so they are cited as henchmen, and then get the information of Wen Chou's defeat After attracting the two of them to ask questions, I don't want the two to fight and admonish that they should withdraw from Linzi and stick to the plain at this time, after all, Yuan Tan has been ruling the plain since the recovery of the plain, where he has prestige, and the people can share the same hatred and hatred, on the contrary, Linzi can not be kept. The two still didn't dare to say a few words, that is, Yuan Tan was good at killing, after breaking through Linzi, he set up troops to hunt for ropes, such as killing birds and beasts, killing people when they saw the living, and robbing them when they met rich householdsOriginally, Qi State (County) had just recuperated for a few years under Tian Kai's rule, and after being by him. Even the outbreak of the Yellow Turban was not as good as at that time, it was really white bones exposed. There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

Under such circumstances, Linzi is still guarded. When the Xuzhou army arrived, the people in the city were afraid of rebelling and capturing a few of them, and they seized the door to open the city to greet them, seeing Yuan Tan's hesitation, Hua Yan, who had a mustache and a treacherous demeanor, was anxious, and said: "Lord, don't hesitate, retreat quickly, otherwise wait for the Xuzhou army to kill." I'm afraid I'm ...... then."

Kong Shun, who had a short beard and a roe head rat, also said urgently: "Yes, my lord, Linzi cannot be defended, let's retreat to the plain as soon as possible." ”

"Don't worry, I've already sent troops to collect the defeated army, and I've also sent scouts to keep an eye on Beihai, there's no movement over there yet, it's too early to go."

"Oh?" The two looked at each other. They all heard what Yuan Tan said, and if they were not in a hurry to leave, it was definitely not to collect the defeated army, and the two hesitated for a while, and they understood in an instant. smacking his tongue in his heart, his own lord is too murderous, this is before leaving. Another wave of scraping in Linzi, but there is nothing to scrape in Linzi today. Whatever should be collected is collected, unless troops are sent to other counties.

Come to think of it. The two of them couldn't help baring their teeth, ruthless, too ruthless!

First of all, the defeated army was like bandits, and I don't know how much wealth they robbed all the way back, after they were absorbed, the goods were confiscated, and then they were sent to copy the rich households in various counties, which was to completely squeeze Qingzhou clean, even if he left, he would not leave Liu Lan a grain of grain and a five-baht penny.

"Lord, do you want to do this, once this kind of practice is spread, it will not be very good for your reputation." Although the two of them are bad, even if they are bad to the bones, as long as they are people, they will always inadvertently flow a trace of compassion, thinking that if something really happens like what they thought, then Qingzhou will be so miserable, but they know that they can't stop Yuan Tan, and in a hurry, they can only persuade him under the guise of fame.

"Bad for a certain reputation?" Yuan Tan sneered, but said confidently: "I didn't kill all these people, just ask them for some grain and grass, what's the big deal?" Besides, even if we don't levy it, he Liu Lan will come to levy it, will it be possible to leave these grains and Qingzhou for Liu Lan in vain? Hmph, in this battle, we have paid such a big price, we must not be cheap Liu Lan. ”

The two of them couldn't smile bitterly, but there was no way, they were children of a wealthy family, how could they understand the suffering of the people, at this point, Yuan Tan was completely different from his father Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was the kind of person who would always care about the suffering of the people, and he would first think about whether he would disturb the people, while Yuan Tan was more casual, thinking of anything, as long as he was willing, he would do it, of course, he was a little clever and often not impulsive, but it was this kind of black-bellied character who would do frightening things, which was also where the two were deeply afraid of it.

Yuan Tan clapped his hands,

Soon the guard entered the hall and instructed him to lift the dwarf table, and ordered him to carry a few jars of good wine and boil some mutton, and soon the guard carried a four-legged horse ornamented wine jar up, as well as fat mutton, after everything was ready, Yuan Tan smiled and signaled that the two of them don't have to think about it so much, now the most important thing is to drink wine and eat meat, and when they wake up tomorrow, they are almost ready to go back to the plain.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, one laughed more ugly than the other, and when they thought of the terrifying scene, they felt a chill all over their bodies, and then looked at the wine jar in front of them, only to feel that there was any wine-colored scum in the wine jar, which was simply red and bloody, which was disgusting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liu Lan, who rushed to Dongguan ...... the "lord and father-in-law", received the latest battle report, several letters, about Yu and Zhao Yun and a letter transferred by Kong Rong, signed Wang Xiu, who didn't know much about this person Liu Lan, but he remembered that Mao Zonggang had such a comment on him.

Xu You Wang Xiu surrendered Cao Cao, but Xu You helped Cao Mou Yuan, and Wang Xiu couldn't bear to help Cao Mou Yuan, it can be seen that Wang Xiuxian Xu Yu is too much, just this sentence of evaluation can know what Wang Xiu's character is, but what puzzled him was that Wang Xiu was not Yuan Shao's subordinate, why did he become the captain of Kong Rong's account at this moment?

It is no wonder that Wang Xiu was the first to serve as the master of Kong Rong as a high secret order, so Liu Lan did not intersect with him in Beihai, and in history, after the battle of Qingzhou, Wang Xiu was engaged in the governance of Yuan Tan again, and since then he has been under Yuan Tan's account, and later descended to Cao, and the official was appointed to the commander of the Dasi Nonglang, generally speaking, this person is upright, and Yuwen has Wu Tao, who can suppress the strong and strong when governing the place, think about the people, and be in a high position and be upright, with clear rewards and punishments, and can be regarded as a talent in the middle of the middle.

Such a person would actually send him a letter, he did have some expectations, but what he saw after opening the letter surprised him a little, and then opened the letters of the last few people, it was actually related to the history of Qingzhou Thorn, Liu Lan raised his eyebrows, showing a wry smile, it seems that he wants to keep Wang Xiu, but now he can't do without Zang Ba, but how did this Zang Ba offend Yun Chang and make him react so much?

Liu Lan, who had already thought of a rhetoric and planned to appoint Zang Ba as the assassin of history, had to delay it at this moment, of course, he would not let Guan Yu go like Zhuge Liang, he planned to talk to Guan Yu, of course, he went to Juxian County to talk to him in person instead of writing a letter.

sent three messengers back, the rhetoric was the same, what to say, he would say it when he arrived in the county.

Once again, I opened the battle report many days ago, which wrote the details of the battle with the Jizhou army that day, the comparison of troops, how to organize the formation and the final battle casualties, but in a few words, there are many inside stories that can be studied in detail, from which we can see how the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou army is, and how capable Wen Chou is when commanding the battle, and the horror of the dragoon army after changing from heavy cavalry to light cavalry that day.

He now has a little idea, can he form another light horse? Now all arms in Xuzhou are very complete, but as long as the dragoon army is a heavy cavalry, it is indeed difficult to deal with the complex battle situation in the future, and this battle, the light cavalry's ability to charge into battle has made him see its terrible degree, maybe the dragoon heavy armoured army can be left as a killer weapon, and in the future with such as the tiger and leopard cavalry or even the state wolf cavalry to use.

As for dealing with infantry, light cavalry is more useful for its quick movement, charging and loitering abilities than heavy cavalry.

Liu Lan had this idea before, but he didn't have the economic strength at that time, and the two cavalry teams in Liaodong and Xuzhou were already stretched, and it was really unsustainable to raise another one, but the gold ore source found in Donglai surrounded him to solve this problem.

It seems that it's time to contact Kebi of the small breed department, but to get good horses from him, it is indispensable to bargain, but there is no way, unless the Liaodong horse husbandry supervision is expanded, but that kind of labor and consumption, but it is now Tian Chou can not afford it, and then I am afraid that I will come to Xuzhou again to fight with him. (To be continued.) )
