After getting the news of Ma Teng, Liu He began to step up preparations for war, fortunately, the wind and rain were smooth in this year, whether it was the people or the soldiers in Tuntian, they were full of harvest, and the grain stored in the army was enough for 50,000 soldiers to eat for a year, and not long ago, Liu Yu also sent people to send 5,000 war horses, plus the thousands of war horses that Liu He purchased everywhere, it was enough to assemble 15,000 cavalry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that if calculated according to the normal situation, the cavalry should be one person and two horses, one horse is responsible for carrying armaments, one horse is responsible for carrying people, and some are even more perverted, one person and three horses, one horse carries armaments, one horse carries people, and the other horse does not carry anything, only when going to the battlefield will be ridden by the master, but due to the shortage of horse materials, now is really not the time to pay attention to it, so it is basically one person and one horse, of course, in order to protect the war horse, the soldiers are usually not willing to ride at all, even when marching, In order to save horsepower, they all dismounted and walked, and the supplies were also carried by themselves.

Of course, this is only done by the officers and men during training, and it is really difficult to do this if it is difficult to do this when the military situation is urgent and the military discipline is strict.

And in order to facilitate the maintenance of war horses, Liu He specially stipulated that the horses should be subject to the soldier responsibility system, and the horses would be subcontracted to households, and everyone would be bound to a fixed war horse, and if the war horse was gone, the owner had to be removed from the cavalry and transferred to the infantry battalion.

This practice is a great encouragement and stimulation for the cavalry soldiers, in order to make their beloved horses fat and strong, many soldiers also use the rest time to cut grass in order to feed the horses.

At the same time, Liu He found a group of blacksmiths in the army and taught them to make horseshoes to protect the horseshoe in order to reduce the damage of the horse.

At this time, there was no such thing as a horseshoe, and the cavalry soldiers saw that this thing could greatly protect the horses, so they even paid for steel out of their own pockets and asked blacksmiths to help make horseshoes.

Liu He naturally praised this request of the soldiers, but he specifically stipulated that all soldiers who bought steel out of their own pockets should make a register and register them, and ordered the quartermaster to compensate the soldiers according to the original price of steel.

On this day, Liu He was watching the soldiers in Tuntian, and based on the experience of his later generations, he put forward many valuable suggestions, at this moment, he saw Shi Tao, the commander of the Diannong, come to the front with a young man who was seven feet tall, and said with a smile: "Lord, look at who I have brought?" ”

Liu He looked at the young man in front of him, and saw that this young man looked very elegant, but the corners of his eyes looked full of vicissitudes, with a color that was more mature than his age.

"This, this, could it be ......" Liu He saw that the person looked very close to Shi Tao and Cui Jun, and immediately guessed the identity of that person, and said happily.

saw that the man took the first step, and said to Liu He: "The villain Yingchuan Shan Fu has seen the envoy." ”

"Hehe, Yuan Zhi, it's time for this, there's no need to hide your identity from my lord, the lord has always been thirsty for talent, Corporal Lixian, not only will you not be held accountable for your past killings, but will also be reused by you, so you can directly admit that you are Yingchuan Xu Shu."

Shi Tao laughed, and then said respectfully to Liu He: "Don't hide it from the lord, this person is the Xu Shu recommended to you by the lower officials before, Xu Yuanzhi, a young ranger, killed a local bully because of a friend, was thrown into prison, and then was rescued, and turned into a list of blessings to study in my division. ”

In fact, Shi Tao's words can be regarded as half-truths, and it is true to intercede for Xu Shu, but he had already found out Liu He's attitude from Liu He in advance, otherwise, even if he was Liu He's subordinate, he would not rashly let his friend go to death.

Liu He naturally knew that Shi Tao's words were actually asking for a clear attitude towards himself, so he laughed loudly and said: "Yuan Zhi's murder did violate the laws of the imperial court, no matter how evil that person did, he must always be dealt with by the law, Yuan Zhi has no official and no power, and he really shouldn't kill people." However, although the legal principle is intolerable, the reason is understandable, Yuan Zhi punishes the evil and promotes the good, and eliminates the harm for the people, which is also considered a merit, and now the merits and demerits are offset, and the things of the past are stopped. ”

Then Liu He took Xu Shu's hand and pulled him into his general's mansion, during which Liu He did not forget to order the system to quietly scan Xu Shu's attributes.

I saw the system say: "Xu Shu, strategist-type talent, 63 in force, 82 in intelligence, 75 in internal affairs, 78 in charisma, 75 in loyalty, second-rate strategist, attributes have not reached the peak, the peak attributes are, 63 in force, 93 in intelligence, 80 in internal affairs, 80 in charisma, first-class strategists, can be canonized as a solitary star, and the host authority is insufficient......"

"This Xu Shu is known as a first-class strategist, and his current attributes are so low, especially his intelligence, the difference between before and after has reached 11 points, which is really surprising."

Hearing Xu Shu's attributes, Liu He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

But he heard the system laughing: "Actually, this is normal, because Xu Shu has just studied for a few years, and his knowledge and insight have really grown, it is the days when he studied in Shuijingzhuang, and now there are more than ten years before he left the school, so it is not surprising that the difference in intelligence value before and after is 11 points." ”

Hearing the system's explanation, Liu He could only nod, because he thought that what the system said seemed to have a little truth. Fortunately, he has the perverted ability to make the other party's attributes reach the peak in an instant, and he doesn't really care about this.

When he came to the mansion and sat down, Liu He drank cheese while having a long talk with Xu Shu, he found that although Xu Shu at this time did not have a very clever and unique vision, but some suggestions for the current situation, such as attacking Chang'an, and then plotting to merge the state, and Youzhou as one of the strategies are strikingly similar to Guo Jia, Xun You and others, and Xu Shu's knowledge is still quite profound, which can be said to have laid a very good foundation for future growth.

"Hehe, Yuan Zhi, your suggestion is very good, can you tell us what we should do now? For example, how should we promote the current situation in Chang'an? Liu He said to Xu Shu with a smile.

"This, Rong Shu thinks about it carefully." Xu Shu's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, and he said a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, don't worry, Yuanzhi, I'll give you a benefit today, I believe that after that, you should have some clue about this matter." Liu He gently patted Xu Shu's back and said with a faint smile.
