In the afternoon of the same day, the Chu army made an unprecedented transaction with Lou Nuren in the east of Jiuyuan City, and the Chu army paid a total of 20,000 double-edged heavy swords, exchanged 10,000 good horses with a body height of more than six feet from Lou Furen, and exchanged 500 scale armor for 500 good horses with a body height of more than seven feet from Lou Furen.

The deal was completed, and the tense duo hurriedly withdrew to their respective camps.

Obviously, Chu Jun and Lou Nuren were worried that the other party would backtrack and launch a surprise attack.

In the final analysis, Chu Jun and Lou Annoying are still in a hostile relationship, but it is a miracle that two opponents who are hostile to each other like this can carry out such a large-scale transaction, which is certainly related to Chu Jun's eagerness to get horses, but Lou Annoying people are also anxious to get iron weapons?

10,000 good horses have been driven into the camp, and the soldiers of the Chu army have also gathered around to see the excitement.

Xiang Zhuang rode a black horse and was inspecting the horses surrounded by generals such as Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Gao Chu, and Pang Yu.

Suddenly, seeing so many of the same kind, the black horse looked a little excited, and from time to time it would raise its head and neigh, accompanied by the long neighing of the black horse, the horses would follow the neighing, looking at the situation, it was like thousands of subjects were responding to their king, at this moment, the king of the black horse was fully revealed.

Xiang Zhuang was also a little excited, although the arsenal moved from Luoyang and Xianyang was empty, but this deal was definitely worth it, with these 10,000 good horses, plus more than 6,000 good horses snatched from the hands of the Aries people, it was enough for the Chu army to form a huge cavalry, thinking of the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry galloping, Xiang Zhuang was a little enthusiastic.

Cavalry, this is the most powerful class of troops in the era of cold weapons, almost invincible!

With such a huge light cavalry back to the Central Plains, who else can help him Xiangzhuang?

Peng Yue's Liang army is indeed unstoppable, but if I don't confront you head-on, what can you do to me? All I need to do is sacrifice the wolf pack tactics of the cavalry, and I will drag you down alive with cavalry and shoot you, and consume you to death!

Can a man's two legs outrun a horse's four legs? !

Han Shin is resourceful and resourceful, but so what?

Lao Tzu won't entangle with you too much, as long as he crosses the river, he will hit the horse and go south and go straight to the Wujiang River, and the army of Qi can still chase after Jiangdong?

What's more, there may not be a fight with the Liang army and the Qi army.

Today's general trend in the world is no longer the situation just after the end of the battle of Qixia, Liu Bang is now just a king of Guanzhong, how much binding force can be left for Peng Yue, Han Xin, Yingbu and other princes? In the final analysis, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu were only Liu Bang's brothers, not his vassals.

Therefore, with a large number of cavalry, it is almost a smooth road back to Jiangdong.

Xiang Zhuang also considered occupying Shanxi or Hebei as the foundation of the Chu army, but this is unrealistic, first of all, the backbone of Xiang Zhuang is still the Chu people, once Xiang Zhuang makes a decision not to return to Jiangdong, these Chu people are likely to mutiny, secondly, the location of Shanxi or Hebei is not good, sandwiched between Mao Dun, Liu Bang, Peng Yue and Han Xin, isn't it fun?

As for the Central Plains, it is now ten rooms and nine empty, and the population has plummeted, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recover in 20 years.

Yandi is sparsely populated, and the Korean Peninsula and the white mountains and black waters are even more wild and barren land, so you can only be a savage when you go there.

Qinchuan, eight hundred miles in Guanzhong, is the most ideal foundation for the king, and Xiang Zhuang also wants to occupy Guanzhong, but the current Chu army does not have the strength to fight Liu Bang at all.

Therefore, the Chu army still had to return to Jiangdong.

First of all, due to the war in the Central Plains for many years, a large number of people fled to Jiangdong, and the population of Jiangdong Zhangjun and Huiji County has already far exceeded that of the late Qin Dynasty, and now it should exceed two million! Once the Chu army returns to Jiangdong, the people's will is not a problem, and the strong men are not a problem, so the source of troops of the Chu army is not a problem.

Secondly, Jiangdong still has the Chu army insisting on resisting until now.

In the end, Jiangdong's strategic environment is not bad, and there is no need to face Liu Bang, Han Xin, and Peng Yue.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang did not know that Jiangdong had changed dramatically, Xiang Tuo returned to Jiangdong with 3,000 remnants from Xue County, and soon won the full support of the Jiangdong clan, and Xiang Guan, who retreated to Qiantang, also took the opportunity to counterattack, and the Han army that stayed in Zhangjun and Huiji County suffered several defeats one after another, and it was about to be unable to support it. ,

However, for Xiang Zhuang, it is not easy to train 20,000 infantry into cavalry.

After equipping a war horse with a Takahashi saddle and stirrups, it is no longer difficult to ride a horse, but it is not so easy to master further riding skills and make various slashing movements on horseback, and it is even more difficult to hold the bow and fire an arrow on the back of a horse running at high speed against the arrow target and ensure a certain hit rate.

However, the most difficult thing is the integration of man and horse, that is, through long-term combat and training, the cavalry and the war horse gradually adapt to each other's smell, temper and some habits.

Once trained to this extent, the cavalry can be considered elite.

Elite cavalry and ordinary cavalry are completely different concepts, ordinary cavalry is basically rushing forward like a swarm when charging, without any rules at all, while elite cavalry can maintain a strict formation while sprinting at high speed, such as the interval between the left and right horses, and the interval between the front and rear rows, can be maintained very well.

After completing the first charge, the elite cavalry was able to quickly turn around, regroup, and engage in a second charge.

The reaction speed of ordinary cavalry is much slower, and even after completing the first charge, it is likely that they will not be able to organize a second charge.

In this regard, the Hu people have an incomparable advantage, because they have lived on horseback since they were children, and they have long been integrated with their war horses, while the Central Plains cavalry needs to go through hard and long training, so the Hu people can draw a strong man at random is an excellent cavalry, and the Central Plains people can't.

But then again, once the Central Plains cavalry is trained into an army, it will be much more powerful than the Hu people!

For example, although there were only 5,000 cavalry in Jiuyuan's Great Qin Iron Cavalry, their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the same number of Hu cavalry with excellent equipment, strict discipline, changeable formations, and rich strategies and tactics.

Ten Great Qin cavalry and ten Hu cavalry against each other, the victory or defeat is in the number of five or five, but if it is a hundred Great Qin cavalry and a hundred Hu cavalry, then a hundred Hu cavalry will be defeated, and with the increase in the number of cavalry, the advantage of the Great Qin cavalry will become more obvious, and five thousand Great Qin cavalry can at least fight against twenty thousand Hu cavalry!

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to train all 20,000 Chu troops into elite cavalry.

After three to four months of arduous training, the 20,000 Chu army can master the most basic riding skills, can pull the bow and release arrows in the galloping run, and can make slashing and killing actions in the sprint, which is already the limit.

Inspecting the entire herd, Xiang Zhuang called Gao Chu, Pang Yu, Tian Heng, and Xiao Kai to him.

At present, the 20,000 Chu army is divided into four armies: the pro-army, the middle army, the right army, and the left army, each with 5,000 people, of which the pro-army at the beginning of the year is the most elite, because 3,000 of the 5,000 pro-army are veterans of the Chu army who have experienced a hundred battles and died for the rest of their lives, and the remaining 2,000 people are also selected from the middle of each army and battalion.

Xiang Zhuang gave an order, and the four generals of the junior high school began to divide the war horses with their respective subordinates.

In less than a moment, the entire Chu army camp was in a mess, many soldiers even started to fight in order to snatch the same war horse, Xiang Zhuang ignored these, in fact, Xiang Zhuang did not use his authority to forcibly distribute war horses, but let each army and battalion pick their own, it was simply intentional.

Even how many war horses the armies deserved, Xiang Zhuang did not say clearly.

Xiang Zhuang did this, is to create friction and contradictions between the various armies, to form a situation in which the officers and men of the various armies are not convinced by each other, and the commanders of the various armies will not show signs of each other, there is a saying, there will be competition when there are contradictions, and only when the armies are not convinced by each other will the most crazy training competition be launched, and the Chu army can change from infantry to cavalry in the shortest possible time.

When the Chu army was busy dividing up the war horses, the Loufu tribe had already pulled out the camp and returned to the north for a vacation.

Although Lou Nuren had just completed a big deal with the Chu people, the relationship between the two parties did not improve because of this.

In fact, the uncle said that he had analyzed with King Lou Fu yesterday that it must be the Chu people who ambushed the Aries people in the Wild Wolf River Valley, and most of the people who intercepted Princess Yingzhen in the middle of the road were also Chu people, not the old Qin people.

Therefore, after the transaction was completed, King Lou Fu immediately gave an order, and sure enough, he returned to the north.

Although he got 20,000 sharp double-edged iron swords, and despite having 20,000 "well-equipped" iron horses, King Lou Furen knew very well in his heart that before the Chu army left Jiuyuan, Lou Furen was afraid that he would not be able to do anything, and it was impossible to use troops against the Linhu tribe, let alone dare to have any wrong thoughts about the old Qin people in Jiuyuan.

Although the Chu army only had 20,000 people, the equipment on them was not fake.

Especially when the two sides were trading in the east of Jiuyuan City, the rows of giant bed crossbows hidden in the Chu army's array, as well as the thousands of crossbows in the hands of the Chu army soldiers in the front row, made Lou Fu Wang a little frightened.

At that time, if the Lou Fu cavalry involved in the transaction made any abnormal moves, they would definitely be shot on the spot!

Therefore, King Lou Fu decided to stay away from the Chu people, and at the same time hoped that the Chu army could leave the Hetao earlier.

Of course, the Chu army may also stay in the Hetao and not leave, but even if it is so, it is nothing, with the current strength of the Loufu tribe, even if he votes for the Xiongnu, Mao Dunshan Yu has to give him the corresponding status...... ）
