Chapter 764: Chu State's own big horse farm
Just when the multitudes rejoiced.
On the opposite side, the 300,000 war horses that were galloping gradually stopped. Zhao Yun in front had also turned over and dismounted, led several lieutenant generals, and walked in front of Xu Shu on foot.
"Meet the General." Zhao Yun bent over and hugged his fists.
"It's hard work." Xu Shu smiled slightly, helped Zhao Yun up, and then glanced at the wind and frost on Zhao Yun's face, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "What are the results of this battle?" ”
"Killed Zhu Ling on the spot and confiscated thirty or forty thousand war horses. Not far from the city of Xudu, he killed 5,000 elite soldiers, attacked Cao Wei's horse farm, and collected nearly 200,000 large and small horses. Zhao Yun replied.
"Hahaha, Zilong is really majestic this time. As soon as Cao Mengde heard Zilong's name, he was afraid that he would have to grit his teeth. Xu Shu laughed.
Although seeing is believing, Xu Shu still couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that Zhao Yunbei had seized two or three hundred thousand horses of all colors this time.
Then came ecstasy, and I couldn't help but laugh again.
"It's all thanks to your stirrups, horseshoes. In this battle, the Central Plains fought thousands of miles, but the war horses were rarely injured during the long-distance run. Well preserved. The stirrup alone made it easy for us to kill Zhu Ling. Now after the battle with Zhu Ling, the soldiers are also considered veterans of the battlefield. If you really fight, I'm afraid you can really fight with the tiger and leopard. Zhao Yun said with a smile. Speaking of the beloved cavalry, I can't help but talk more and more.
Very happy.
In the First War of the North, the greatest harvest was the Chu State. The second is this group of cavalry, which can be said to be a transformation from a new Ding to an elite soldier, and since then it has really taken off in the sky and soared into the sky.
"Hahaha, good things, all good things." Xu Shu was even happier when he heard this, and laughed.
Wei Yan, Li Yan and others beside him were also very happy and laughed together.
The hearty laughter showed how huge the harvest of the Chu State was this time.
After laughing together, Xu Shu solemnly said to the generals around him: "It is really not easy for Zilong to win these war horses. Be careful to protect yourself. Next, we have to do our best to build a simple horse farm, and the horses of the Anfang side are here. ”
It's nice to find gold, but in the end, it's all about how to keep it and use it. Otherwise, what is the use of picking it up?
"Where is it to be built?" Wei Yan frowned and said.
"After Zilong made such a fuss, Cao Cao will withdraw his troops if he does not withdraw his troops. After returning, he was so angry that he was afraid that he would immediately raise troops to the south. If the horse farm is built near Wancheng, I am afraid it is not safe. Next to him, Li Yan also nodded and said.
"Yes." Xu Shu nodded and began to groan.
These standing horses are treasures, and Cao Cao can't be allowed to take them back.
"In this way, I immediately sent Situ and asked to transport these war horses to Xincheng and Yong. It is separated from the Central Plains by the Han River, and even if Cao Cao goes south, the tiger and leopard cavalry can break through, it is impossible to cross the Han River and snatch back the horses we have in hand. Soon after, Xu Shu said.
"Did you go first? Otherwise, there will be a lot of dreams at night. Zhao Yun was also worried.
"Naturally. It's a big deal, and it's nothing to cut first and then play. Xu Shu nodded and agreed.
Immediately, Xu Shu asked Zhao Yun to set up camp first, and then pacify the soldiers. Another 5,000 intact cavalry were dispatched, with war horses, all the way to Xincheng and stationed in the Yong area.
At the same time, a fast horse left Wancheng and headed for Xiangyang. Go and tell the civil and military officials of the capital these news, as well as gather to build a horse farm and circle the funds and policies of the land.
By the way, he also told the rear that Cao Cao might fight back against Wancheng at any time because of annoyance. Be prepared to support Wancheng at any time.
Xiangyang.
Although Kou Feng's expedition to the west of Western Shu was victorious, there was no result after all, and he just barely gained a foothold in Shu. At the same time, Xu Shu in the north also began to harass Cao Wei.
Fighting on two fronts.
The state of Chu went to the hundred officials and nobles, and went down to the common people of Li. Although he is very confident in his army, it is the first time he has fought twice.
Many people are more or less apprehensive.
However, as the top Situ Jiang Wan, as well as some people such as Sangong Jiuqing, Sima Yi, Liu Ba, etc., they are very calm.
On this day, Jiang Wan had just replaced Kou Feng, who had just conquered Xishu, in the hall of the Duke of Chu's mansion and held a routine court meeting. The ministers have not yet dispersed.
A small servant rushed in.
"Lord Situ, there is a big victory ahead. Zhao Yunbing, the general of the town, went out of Wancheng, conquered more than ten county towns in the north, and burned countless treasury and granaries. In Zhongmu, he killed Zhu Ling, as well as 20,000 elite horsemen under his account, and confiscated 30,000 or 40,000 war horses. attacked the big horse farm outside the city of Xudu, wiped out 5,000 elite soldiers, and harvested nearly 200,000 horses of all colors and returned triumphantly. ”
The joy on the little official's face was very thick, and he reported loudly.
"What?"
The civil and military officials in the hall were all taken aback.
"More than ten county seats, this is nothing, and it is not surprising to kill Zhu Ling. But those thirty or forty thousand war horses? ”
"And nearly 200,000 horses of all colors?"
"From now on, wouldn't our Chu State be able to produce war horses on our own?"
"A big win, a big win that I never thought of."
Immediately, the civil and military officials couldn't care about being reserved, and they all said loudly. Many people even laughed on the spot, ignoring the fact that this was a heavy place for the court.
It's really too big, too big.
Jiang Wan is very generous and self-contained. Honor and disgrace are not shocked, and joy and anger are invisible. Especially during the court meeting, although he sat below.
But presiding over the government, keep not laughing, not angry. Very natural and decent. It can be said that it is majestic.
It can be said that among the ministers of the Chu State, there is no one who is more suitable for Jiang Wan's current position, Situ, one of the three dukes. But at this moment, he couldn't help but smile.
But in the end, it was Situ, the chief minister who was responsible for presiding over the court. After Jiang Wan was overjoyed for a while, he put away the smile on his face and said, "Prepare all kinds of pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to be transported to the front line." As a reward for the three armies. ”
Saying that, Jiang Wan said solemnly: "In addition, transport more arrows and grain to Wancheng." ”
This time, Cao Cao's loss was too great, and the dog jumped under the wall in a hurry, maybe he really wanted to burn the jade. Jiang Wan was even more worried about Wancheng's defense line.
Naturally, it is necessary to prepare more baggage to go to the front.
"No."
Shaofu Xu Tian, Dasi Nong Mi Zhu responded in unison.
"By the way, I don't know what else is going on over there with General Xu?" Jiang Wan asked this, and he also thought of it with Xu Shu. I was very worried about the 200,000 horses of all colors.
Jiang Wan guessed that Xu Shu might have been prepared.
"Oh, the lower official forgot. This is General Xu Shu's expression. The little official was ashamed, and from his cuffs, he took out Xu Shulai's fold and handed it to Jiang Wan.
After Jiang Wan opened it, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
Sure enough, Xu Shu not only considered the issue of arranging war horses, but also had already chosen an address and sent a part of the cavalry to transport the 200,000 war horses south.
"Xu Shubiao, the general of the Right Army, please build a big horse farm in the new city and Yong. This enclosure and the construction of the land will be handed over to the Dasi Nong Mizhu and the servant Zhang Dao to be responsible for. After Jiang Wan read it, he arranged this matter in front of the ministers.
"No."
Mi Zhu, Zhang Daoqi responded in unison.
One is an official in charge of the fields and mulberry in the world, and the other is an official in charge of horses. In addition, Shaofu Xu Tian had to transport arrows and other military baggage to Wancheng.
It can be imagined that because of Zhao Yun's victory, the entire Chu Kingdom has made great moves.
The state of Chu will also have its own large horse farm that can be comparable to the scale of Cao Wei in the north. A steady stream of elite soldiers across the country.
It's a happy event, a great event.
The civil and military officials present were still very happy.
"Tell you the good news at once." Finally, Jiang Wan ordered.
It is necessary to spread this news to the king of Chu, Kou Feng, who is far away in Western Shu.
Ling Liu Ba promised and immediately went down to prepare.
West, Yongzhou.
Yongzhou is very vast. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Yongzhou area, the Western Han Dynasty, the most consolidated area of imperial power. At that time, the emperor regarded Yongzhou as his backyard. The feudal princes, kings, princes, etc., are all outside.
None of them were crowned kings or marquis in Yongzhou.
But since the Eastern Han Dynasty after the Western Han Dynasty, Yongzhou has been depressed. Coupled with the disasters of Dong Zhuo and Li and Guo, the entire Yongzhou has been very ruined.
Now the most powerful in Yongzhou is Ma Teng, who divides Huaili and Xianyang. The Chang'an Taishou Zhong Xuan set up by Cao Cao was divided into the vicinity of Chang'an and the places around Tongguan.
The forces of the two sides are separated by the Yellow River. The distinction is clear.
Now, Cao Cao's westward expedition, Han Sui, and Ma Teng are united, and the army has more than 200,000 people, strong soldiers and strong horses, not a weak brigade. They relied on the Yellow River for defense.
In the vicinity of the Yellow River, a large number of beacon towers were set up, and as soon as Cao Jun was ready to cross the river, he would light the beacon towers.
In this way, Ma Teng and Han Sui's cavalry could soon arrive.
Therefore, since Cao Cao's westward expedition, there has not been much war. The armies of the two sides are just facing each other across the river, and they are at peace.
But Cao Cao's expedition to the west was naturally not to come to Ma Teng and Han Sui to be safe. He came to the west to destroy Ma Teng and Han Sui.
Recently, Cao Cao has made up his mind to force the tiger and leopard to ride north across the Yellow River and occupy a foothold in the north of the Yellow River.
Thus further encroaching on Yongzhou. Suppress Ma Teng's living space.
On this day, Cao Cao led the generals to inspect the Yellow River. Going to find a nice place to cross the river.
He was accompanied by Jia Xu, Zhong Xuan, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Jaw, Xu Chu, Zhang Yan and other generals who went on a westward expedition.
