Chapter 0861 Good Horses Are Easy to Get, Thousands of Miles Away

As for Yuanshu, it is relatively simple. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the battle of Yingchuan Nanyang, Yuan Shu's troops were lost by nearly half. Li Zhu Hou Junji defected from the battle, which greatly weakened the morale of the Yuzhou army.

As long as a little trick is used to further disturb the heart of the Yuzhou army, and then contain the surrounding princes, Yuan Shu will not dare to go north.

The brains of Liu Bowen, Gao Xi and others, casually thinking of a small plan, is enough for Yuan Shu to toss.

Gao Xi suggested that Yang Hong's death be used to make an article.

Yang Hong, who followed Yuan Shu in the early days, served as a long history, and was Yuan Shu's most trusted staff.

Yang Hong was ordered to guard Nanyang, Yuan Shu's old nest, and Li Zhu Hou Junji wanted to seize Nanyang and stand on his own, so he designed to kill Yang Hong.

The specific details of it are not very clear to Shouchun.

Gao Xi suggested that a group of Li Zhu Hou Junji's sworn friends be released back to Runan.

These people, whose home is in Runan, are of course willing to go home.

Before he was released, let the guards reveal some of the reasons why Yang Hong was killed. Not to mention that Li Zhu Hou Junji wanted to be self-reliant, but only that Yang Hong had the heart of self-reliance and refused to provide support to Yingbei, which caused Hou Junji to be defeated without a fight.

It was also said that Yang Hong wanted to prevent Hou Junji from entering Nanyang, but Li helped Hou Junji to be forced to kill him.

The people who were released were all cronies of Li Zhu Hou Junji. Arranging such a cause of death for Yang Hong would alleviate the guilt of Li Zhu Hou Junji, that is, the guilt of their cronies, who were certainly willing to believe this statement.

As for whether Yuan Shu believed this statement or not, it didn't matter. It is important that the released captives will substitute this statement into the Yuzhou army.

Yang Hong is a close confidant of Yuan Shu, and even he has the heart of self-reliance, what will the rest of the Yuzhou army think?

Naturally, people will be panicked, and the morale of the Yuzhou army will be further weakened.

weakening the morale of the Yuzhou army, and then having the princes to contain it, Yuan Shu is overwhelmed, at least for the time being, he will not move the idea of recapturing Yingchuan and Nanyang.

And the most suitable person to contain Yuan Shu is Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei has the need to expand his territory and strengthen his strategic depth.

In the previous battle, Liu Bei spent a lot of capital, but in the end, Cao Cao robbed half of Peiguo's territory. Liu Bei was angry, but he couldn't send it out.

If some conditions can be created for Liu Bei, Liu Bei will definitely be willing to wage war against Yuan Shu again.

Jiujiang County, Yangzhou, occupied by Yuan Shu, was adjacent to Liu Bei's Xuzhou.

There is the Yangtze River in the south of Jiujiang, the Huai River in the north, and the Chaohu Lake and Shaobi Lake in the west.

Around Liu Beizhi's land, there is a lack of natural barriers. If we can capture the rich Jiujiang, we can not only harvest territory and population, but also increase the strategic depth and open up Jiujiang, which has its own strategic barrier, as a rear base.

Liu Bei covets Jiujiang, there is no doubt about it. The problem is that Liu Bei has ideas, but he doesn't have enough strength to start a war against Yuan Shu alone.

The Luoyang army could provide some support to Liu Bei in Yingchuan, but it was not enough for Liu Bei to make up his mind.

Liu Bei must be given some more benefits that he can't refuse!

Whatever Liu Bei lacks most, he will give him!

Liu Bei is the most short of military horses.

Xuzhou is southeast and does not produce military horses.

The first line of the Jiujiang River in Xuzhou is in the plain area of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the light cavalry can play the most role.

If you can support Liu Bei's batch of military horses, the temptation of Jiujiang plus military horses is enough!

The idea is good, but the problem is still there!

In the Luoyang army, there is also an urgent need for military horses!

War with the Xiliang army may start at any time, the Xiliang iron cavalry is famous all over the world, and to fight with it, there must be a sufficient number of mobile cavalry to avoid being beaten by the Xiliang iron cavalry.

The issue of cavalry is the third difficult problem to be discussed at this meeting.

Liu Mang's idea was that once the war with the Xiliang Army began, Nanyang and Yingchuan would focus on defense, and the light cavalry of Changyu Chunyuefei and other troops would be transferred to Hongnong and Hedong to supplement the front-line cavalry force.

Large-scale mobilization of the team involves many problems.

His own problem has not been solved, how can he help Liu Bei?

Guo Ziyi, who has been listening, said: "War horses are easy to get, but I'm afraid that time will not allow it." ”

Liu Mang hurriedly said: "Ziyi will first talk about how easy to get a war horse, the matter of time, and then think of a way." ”

Guo Ziyi said: "You can buy war horses from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions. ”

Guo Ziyi explained that outside the western region of the Han Empire, dozens of ethnic minorities lived, including the Xiongnu, Dayueshi, Dawan, Kangju, Wusun, and Xiancai.

These ethnic minorities, collectively known as Xirong by the Han Chinese, are mostly nomadic and rich in horses.

The Yongliang area was controlled by the Western Liang Army. Nearly half of the military horses of the Xiliang Army were purchased from various ethnic groups in Xirong.

The military horses of the Xiliang Army have been saturated, but in order to maintain the superiority of the cavalry, the Xiliang Army is relying on its great momentum and does not allow the Xirong tribes to sell military horses to the Central Plains.

The various ethnic groups in Xirong made a living by grazing and selling horses, and the Xiliang army did not let them sell horses, and horses in the Western Regions were hoarded in large quantities.

If the Xiliang army wants to buy horses, they can lower the price at will, causing the Xirong ethnic groups to suffer unspeakably.

"As long as the passage is opened, a large number of cheap and good horses can be purchased from various departments in Xirong."

Liu Mang nodded, but his brows were still tightened. "There is a passage, so Gegen Shan Yu can help buy horses from the northern frontier. It's just that you have to detour to Jinshan, but there are thousands of miles to go back and forth, plus the road of Bingzhou, Sili, and the Central Plains, I am afraid that there are nearly 10,000 miles. Such a long distance, without any delay, will take half a year. ”

Liu Mang's golden mountain is the Altai Mountains.

The Gegen tribe is in the north, and if you want to go to the Western Regions, you must detour to the Altai Mountains in the northwest, which is a long way.

"yes......"

Time waits for no one, and all the staff find it difficult to implement.

Everyone was at a loss, but Wang Shouren kept staring at the map.

"Maybe, you can try ......"

"Oh?" Everyone's eyes converged on Wang Shouren.

The military maps used by Liu Mangjun were all drawn by Pei Xiu.

In the past, ancient Chinese maps, like Chinese paintings, were freehand and figurative, but not scientific.

The map drawn by Pei Xiu is very detailed, very close to modern maps, and scientifically scaled.

Wang Shouren used his fingers to measure and calculate on the map......

Liu Mang stared at Wang Shouren's finger and suddenly understood what he meant.

"What does Mr. Yang Ming mean, change the military horses section by section?!"

Wang Shouren glanced at Liu Mang with an approving gaze and nodded affirmatively. All the staff members also suddenly let out an "oh" in unison.

"Mr. Yang Ming is clever, but the lord is also really smart!" Liu Bowen praised it from the bottom of his heart.

Who is Liu Bowen?

Clever and calculating, the intelligence is so high that it is a non-human existence!

was praised by him for being smart, how many people can there be throughout the ages?

Although Liu Bowen is known as the old fritter, he rarely directly praises the lord Liu Mang.

And this time the praise is not the slightest flattery, it is indeed from the heart.

Liu Mang didn't expect that he understood Wang Shouren's intentions before Liu Bowen.

If it were two years in the morning, for Liu Bowen's praise, Liu Mang might have laughed out loud!

But now Liu Mang is already very mature and calm. Although I was very happy in my heart and proud of 84's intelligence value, I still had a humble expression on my face. "It's not that my brain is fast, it's just that my mouth is faster than yours, hahaha......" (To be continued.) )
