Chapter 101 Twenty Thousand Horses
At the end of March, the western Xianbei lord Budugen sent troops from the surrendered city and invaded the Wuyuan and Yunzhong realms. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wuyuan Taishou Wang Zhi ordered the border residents to retreat into the city, the border army entered the city to guard, Yunzhong Taishou personally led the army to the north, and at the same time sent people to the northern Governor Zhang Liao, Dingxiang Taishou, Yanmen Taishou Guo Yun, and Bingzhou Assassin Shi Liu Bei for help.
Budugen sent troops to the border this time, and the leader also had the intention of testing the new army, so he sent Murong Deng to help Budugen, Murong Deng went from the leader of a lost tribe to the current commander of the Great Khan's headquarters, all because he proposed to send people to learn Han etiquette, systems, and most importantly, Han tactics.
With its vanguard, Budugen approached Xi'anyang, Chengyi, and Yiliang counties in Wuyuan County, and ordered the western Xianbei clan Tuoba Department to march from the clouds.
Murong Deng's department was dominated by cavalry, and the cavalry dismounted could attack the city, and the county magistrate of Xi'an County was caught off guard by the Xianbei people, and Xi'an Yang was lost.
Immediately, Chengyi and Yiliang counties were also broken, and for a time most of Wuyuan County fell into the hands of Xianbei.
Gao Shun held back for a long time and said: "I still instruct all cities to defend the city, prepare more materials to defend the city, and some small cities will move into the big cities nearby." A certain Xianbei wants to attack on a large scale, and will not attack city by city, waiting for the lord's army to come to help. ”
Wang Zhi is just a Confucian student, his internal affairs are okay, and he doesn't have to say anything about fighting and defending the city, but it would be really difficult for him to let him make suggestions.
"Okay."
Compared with Murong Deng's Lianzhan Lianke, Tuoba Mian was not so lucky, first encountered a nose of ash in Wuquan and Beiyu, and then encountered the reinforcements brought by Yunzhong Taishou in the barren dry water, and lost a lot of men and horses when he forcibly crossed the barren dry water.
Forced Tuoba Mian to choose another place to cross the river, after turning over the barren dry water, Yunzhong Taishou has led his troops to retreat into Yuanyang, Tuoba Mian led his troops to attack Yunzhong, Yunzhong Taishou was in a hurry, and hurriedly led reinforcements out of the city but was ambushed by Tuoba Mian, and he died, and the whole army was annihilated.
Tuoba Cao took advantage of the situation to surround the clouds, and for a time the northern border of Bingzhou was in danger, and the leader saw that Budugen was attacking and was ready to move, but he hadn't fought with the Lu Cheng army yet, and the leader was just restraining himself, but his insistence under Xu You's three-inch tongue was only a matter of time, as long as Budugen won the battle with the Lu Cheng army once, then he dared to lead all Xianbei south, from the direction of Shanggu and Daijun to merge the state, and he could also put all the responsibility on Yuan Shao.
When the news of the defeat of Taishou in Yunzhong reached Jinyang, Liu Bei no longer had the leisure to deal with other matters, and summoned Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zuo Yuan, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Liu He and others overnight to discuss the dispatch of troops, and this time there was no objection.
Jian Yong said: "After the 30,000 recruits gathered last year triumphed from Hedong, the lord has ordered them to take turns to take leave to go home, and now although someone has been sent to recall them, there are still less than 20,000 in the barracks."
Guo Jiadao: "Xianbei has many cavalry, no matter how many infantry there are, it will not help, and only by leading the cavalry to fight against it can we win."
With Guo Jia's series of exercises in Hedong, Guo Jia has a deep understanding of the combat strength of the Lucheng army, so he believes that Liu Bei's previous record of the Xianbei cavalry is certain but by no means bragging.
Xun Yu said: "The problem of insufficient grain and grass is still obvious, so I also agreed that the lord would send cavalry to fight."
"How's the war welfare voucher selling?"
Liu Bei turned his head and asked Liu He, Liu He said: "It's selling well, thousands of pieces have been sold, and all kinds of materials are piled up in Jinyang's large and small warehouses, but the food is not enough."
"It seems that the scholars are still rich!"
Liu Bei said with emotion.
Liu He shook his head: "The scholars don't buy much, most of them are merchants and farmers, so there is not much grain."
"The cavalry went to Wuyuan for a generation that is easier to feed than the infantry, and it is more mobile."
Zuo Yuan was afraid that Liu Bei would be angry with the Jinyang Shi clan and hurriedly changed the topic, because Jiexiu Guo didn't buy it, because some people thought that this was Liu Bei's means of making money, and a piece of paper was like buying them 10,000 yuan of materials, what about the cheat?
However, depending on Liu Bei's attention, go back and ask people to buy more than a dozen pictures.
Liu Bei nodded, turned his head and asked Xi Zhicai: "How many cavalry are there in Jinyang now?"
Xi Zhicai said: "There are 2,000 cavalry in Bai Yu, 2,000 cavalry in the scout guard, 3,000 cavalry in Zhao Yunbu (expanded by 1,000), a battalion of cavalry in the Huangxu Department (more than 2,000 in the early 2,000s), Zhang Feibu also has 2,000 people, the lord also transferred 1,000 cavalry from Hedong, and 3,000 cavalry were trained in Yuban, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro also sent 4,000 cavalry to help, in general there were less than 20,000 cavalry."
The infantry is easy to train, practice for half a year, and then fight a few battles to be elite, and then have good armor is a strong army, but cavalry is not.
Liu Bei has not saved enough 20,000 elite cavalry for so many years, and more than half of them are recruits, which shows the difficulty of cavalry.
"How's the armor?"
Xi Zhicai said: "All are fully equipped, and the lord has ordered Jia Zhonglang to collect 20,000 Hun cavalry, and Jia Zhonglang has been recruited."
"Okay, let's go on a day."
As soon as the military order was given, the whole Jinyang was immediately busy, and batches of war horses in the Longshan camp were re-checked for horseshoes, and the new-style Gaoqiao saddle and double iron stirrups were pressed, and batches of grain and grass materials in Jinyang City were loaded onto the car and set off towards Yanmen Wuyuan.
A large number of merchants' caravans were forcibly recruited by Jinyang, of course, it was not free, so the merchants' grievances were not so sufficient, after all, there was still something to earn, and Xianbei was probably the first to be stabbed.
Hero Building, there is a team of armor soldiers standing in front of the door, since the family sent the team to Jinyang, they have been living in the Hero Building, Jinyang people know that the Hero Building is Liu Bei's industry, originally thought it was Wang Yue.
Liu Bei let him go several times, thinking that Wang Yue, who was injured in the arm, would be killed, Liu Bei also had this thought, but seeing Wang Yue staying in prison decadently, Liu Bei felt compassion again, a swordsman with a crippled arm is a wasted person.
Wang Yue was treated by a doctor, but his arm was not saved, but his physical strength recovered well, and as he developed his left hand, the whole person regained his spirit, and with Liu Bei's funding, he opened a hero building in Jinyang, and helped Xi Zhicai train assassins.
Since the family sending team came to Jinyang, the Hero Building has stopped receiving guests, and the attendants in the Hero Building are all swordsmen trained by Wang Yue himself, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach the Hero Building.
A new carriage suddenly appeared in front of the Hero Building, and the highlight was that the two horses pulling the carriage were rare horses.
Then a young man in a brocade robe stepped down from the carriage, and the young man folded his hands on his sleeves, and his big ears were extraordinarily large.
The armor soldier in front of the door saw that the young man's body was involuntarily straightened, and his spirit was extremely bright, and the young man in the brocade robe strode into the hero building.
Wang Yue personally went out to greet him, and Wang Yue saw the young man in the brocade robe and hurriedly saluted: "The more I have seen the lord."
"Master Wang has worked hard!"
The young man in the brocade robe was Liu Bei.
