In the troubled times, whoever has the biggest fist is the father, and not long ago Jiang Hong was beaten into a son by Yuan Shu. Therefore, Jiang Hong plans to concentrate on development for a period of time, train new pawns, and stabilize his territory by the way.

Under the city of Hefei, he was defeated by Yuan Yao's cavalry, which also made Jiang Hong understand the powerful power of the cavalry.

Although he now has Xu Rong and 3,500 Xiliang Iron Cavalry with super combat power at the moment, the number is still too small, so Jiang Hong plans to establish a few more cavalry.

However, there is a very important problem that horses are not produced in the south, and in the past, war horses were obtained by rewards or gifts from others, and secondly, they were purchased at high prices from horse dealers.

Jiang Hong did not make friends with the princes on the border, and the first road was blocked, so the rest was the same as Yuan Shu, buying, or rather, smashing with money.

However, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in the north were fighting fiercely, and there were yellow turbans raging in Qingzhou, and the horse dealers in the two states arrived in the Central Plains, most of them were bought up by Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

There are very few horse dealers who can pass through the Central Plains and arrive in Xuzhou smoothly, and Jiang Hong can buy a little bit through the relationship of the Mi family at most, and there can be no more.

As for the horse dealers in Xiliang, in order to avoid the chaos of Si Li's soldiers, they could only go south to Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and finally arrived in Yangzhou, where they were exploited by Zhang Lu, Liu Yan, and Liu Biao, and Jiang Hong couldn't even drink some soup.

The second road is basically blocked, but Jiang Hong is not out of the question, and many of the protagonists in the novel have pointed out a clear path for Jiang Hong.

In the Age of Discovery, he took the sea route, crossed the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, arrived in Liaodong, and bought war horses from Gongsun Du. Sun Quan has also done this in history, so Jiang Hong is not worried about the feasibility of this plan.

However, it is not a trivial matter to organize a fleet, and the first thing that requires a lot of money and manpower is required. Fortunately, Jiang Hong is still just planning to test the water, find out the route, and establish a relationship with Gongsun Du before carrying out large-scale sailing operations.

The water system in the south is developed, and there are many people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, and there are many people who rely on the developed water system to eat, and there is no shortage of boatwrights and the like.

Jiang Hong sent the first fleet with great interest, saying that it was a fleet, but in fact there were only 5 ships. Then, without letting Jiang Hong wait too long, Jiang Hong received the news that the entire army was annihilated.

Starting from the mouth of the Yangtze River, I probably walked to the position of the salt raft, and encountered wind and waves, and the boat capsized. Jiang Hong's face was a little dark. The start was unfavorable, and he didn't even go out of the scope of Guangling, let alone go to Liaodong.

There are many good things, Rome was not built in a day, and Jiang Hong also knew this truth, so he left this matter to Kou Bai and let him be responsible for this matter.

Since Jiang Hong's command began to have great talents such as Lu Su and Zhang Hong, Kou Bai, whose personal ability was far inferior to theirs, was gradually snubbed by Jiang Hong, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the natural status is getting higher and higher.

But Kou Bai is unwilling to let himself go on like this, this errand is a good opportunity to turn over. To be a courtier, you need not only ability, but also other factors such as eyesight, loyalty, and so on.

If his ability is not enough, then he will make it up with sweat and loyalty, Kou Bai relied on a little bit of desperate Sanlang's momentum, and brought gratifying results to Jiang Hong in just two years, but these are all later words.

"Ziyu, are you okay?" Xu Sheng looked at Zhuge Jin, who was vomiting wildly, and asked with some concern.

"I... It's okay. Vomit. Zhuge Jin felt that he was about to vomit out yesterday's dinner.

The six arts of the gentleman, among which there are royal and horseback riding. After listening to Xu Sheng's words, Zhuge Jin felt that he couldn't throw away the things of his predecessors, so he decided to give up riding and chose to learn to ride a horse with Xu Sheng.

Two days ago, in order to take care of Xu Sheng, two novices with zero riding skills, everyone walked very slowly.

Zhuge Jin sat on the horse and bumped it up, and he thought it was very fun, and sitting on the horse, the surrounding scenery was very different, and it had a different flavor.

Zhuge Jin swelled up a little, thinking that horseback riding was nothing more than that, it was quite simple.

On the third day, everyone began to speed up, and Zhuge Jin realized that he was too naïve, too young and too simple.

After jolting on horseback for a long time, Zhuge Jin felt that his bones were about to fall apart. After dismounting, he held on to the trunk of the tree on the side, and almost spit out the bile water together. On the other hand, Xu Sheng on the side looked like a vigorous tiger without the slightest discomfort.

"Ziyu, your body is too weak, why don't you practice martial arts with me in the future?" Xu Sheng suddenly thought of a good idea,

"No. Vomit.. No!! Even if Zhuge Jin was retching, he immediately rejected Xu Sheng's proposal.

"That's not going to work." Xu Sheng spread his hands and said, "We have been gone for three days, and we haven't even arrived in Yuzhou yet!" ”

"If it goes at this rate, I won't know the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Monkey in Chang'an, and then the lord will blame you and me." Xu Sheng complained.

"Hyonu, do you have a carriage?" Zhuge Jin suddenly raised his head and asked hopefully.

"Nope." Xu Sheng simply refused directly, "Ziyu, you refused it yourself, how can you give up halfway now?" ”

"Oh. . . Oh my God~~" Zhuge Jin let out a burst of sorrowful sounds, in pain.

"Okay, Ziyu, you've rested long enough, we still have to hurry!" Xu Sheng dragged the wailing Zhuge Jin to the side of the horse, and the pain and struggle during this period can be described as sad for the hearer and tears for the listener.

In order not to provoke the nerves of others, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears, there were not many people in this team, only more than 20 people. Compared to this small team, the other team made a lot more noise.

Xuzhou lost half of its troops in vain, but only took back half of Xiapi. This half of Xiapi is still Jiang Hong who feels that he has more than enough strength and puts it in Xuzhou, otherwise Tao Ying will not want to take it back.

30,000 soldiers died, Xuzhou had insufficient troops, and he had to guard against the covetousness of Cao Cao and Zang Ba, which could be described as empty inside, which just gave Xu Rong a stage to display his talents.

Xu Rong wreaked havoc in the entire Pengcheng country, today in Lu County, tomorrow in Wuyuan, and from time to time to Tancheng to go shopping, making the whole Xuzhou is chickens and dogs, not peaceful.

Because Xu Rong had Jiang Hong's instructions, he wandered in Pengchengguo, the Zhang family's old nest, during which he destroyed many of the Zhang family's industries, and even raided Yongqiu.

Xu Rong not only killed all the officials in the mound, but even distributed all the money and grain in the city to the people, and burned all the soldiers and armor that could not be taken away.

Xuzhou did not exclude the army to chase and kill Xu Rong, but where can two legs run more than four legs, not to mention that there are fewer people you chase, Xu Rong turned around and hit the horse pistol, but it was Xuzhou's side that was defeated.
