Chapter 359: Zhao Yun's surprise
Wei Yan collapsed, although Liu Feng believed that with Wei Yan's tenacious surname, he would soon survive.
But it will definitely take a little time, at least a few days. But Liu Feng didn't have time to stay in Xiakou, so Liu Feng handed over Wei Yan to Gan Ning for the time being.
He took Xu Shu and Zhao Yun back to Xiling together.
There are many things waiting for Liu Feng in Xiling City, and the first thing to do is to send someone to give Liu Bei 200,000 stone grain, which is a bargaining chip for the transaction. Liu Feng will not regret accepting people.
Moreover, 100,000 of them went to Xinye in the name of Liu Feng to gather the hearts of the people. Moreover, Liu Feng had to choose a person to go to Xinye to deliver food.
Even the news from Lu Su's side, Liu Feng also needs to pay attention. Because even after a while, Jiangdong Sun Quan has not yet given back the news.
But Liu Feng left these things behind.
Because of Zhao Yun.
And looking at Zhao Yun's situation, it's not bad. Liu Feng couldn't wait to let Zhao Yun see his baby bumps.
A full nine thousand pairs of horses.
Liu Feng took Xu Shu and Zhao Yun bypassed Xiling and came directly to the ranch.
The ranch is very large, with 10,000 acres of land. Among them are wastelands, and there are fields. But Liu Feng requisitioned them all.
10,000 acres of land and 9,000 war horses, this is too luxurious. But Liu Feng believed that the war horses would continue to come from Liaodong.
Therefore, it is not distressing.
The only thing that gave Liu Feng a headache was that the fifty sea ships entered Taiwan. In order to avoid the leakage of news, Liu Feng could only build another sea ship.
It was only completed a few days ago. Sea.
It will take at least two or three months for the number of horses to increase again.
Liu Feng felt a little pity in his heart. But he didn't know what kind of mood Zhao Yun was in when nine thousand war horses were placed in front of Zhao Yun.
He trembled and looked extremely excited.
Steed. The treasure that Zhao Yun desperately desired. When he was in Liaodong, Gongsun Zhan was a loser. There are countless war horses, and there is even a cavalry composed entirely of white horses, and Gongsun Chan himself is also known as the white horse general.
During that time, Zhao Yun received a very orthodox cavalry education. Capabilities grow rapidly. At that time, Zhao Yun didn't realize the important surname of the war horse.
Gongsun Chan is too much, too much.
But when Zhao Yun was defeated by Liu Bei and Xinye, Zhao Yun's thirst for war horses reached an extreme point.
Five or six hundred war horses, one man and two horsemen can make three hundred cavalry. Poor thing.
And now, there are nine thousand free war horses, showing in Zhao Yun's eyes, and Zhao Yun's eyes are shining green.
Even Xu Shu was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Xu Shu was born in Yingchuan, and it is not that he has never seen a war horse. But this is Jingzhou, the south. There is also a powerful Cao Ying isolation.
Xu Shu never thought that Liu Feng would have so many war horses.
Although Xu Shu said to Zhao Yun that Liu Feng must have no less than five thousand war horses to prepare, he will invite you out of the mountain. But that's speculation after all.
And now it is confirmed, and it has exceeded expectations.
"There are more than 10,000 horses here, right?" After being stunned for a moment, Xu Shu let out a sigh.
"I'm afraid it's a little more than nine thousand, but it's less than ten thousand." Zhao Yun replied instead of Liu Feng, without looking back, staring at the ranch with a pair of tiger eyes.
"Well, nine thousand one or two hundred." Liu Feng secretly praised Zhao Yun's eyesight in his heart and confirmed.
"I remember Feng'er, you ransacked Chaisang once. Oh, by the way, I heard that Gangneung was also looted once. It can't be Feng'er, right? No, no, even if Chaisang and Gangneung are combined, it is impossible to have so many war horses. Xu Shu shook his head for a while, nodded for a while, and said suspiciously.
"The teacher's guess is right, Jiangling and Chaisang were all looted by me." Liu Feng smiled. He said in high spirits: "Now I am in the three counties of Jiangxia, leading 800,000 people. Forty-five thousand men with armor. The rest of the equipment can also form an army of 100,000 people. Grain can be eaten for ten years. ”
Xu Shu thought that he had glanced at this disciple of his own, but found that he still glanced down.
Gangneung was sacked, and news also reached Shinye at that time. Zhuge Liang analyzed with him, and they all suspected that the person who ransacked Jiangling might not be Jiangdong.
But think about Liu Feng's power at that time, it was too weak, too weak.
Therefore, this idea was dispelled. But I didn't expect that it was really looted by Liu Feng.
I was surprised, and I was very happy for Liu Feng. But Xu Shu soon discovered that something was wrong. frowned and said: "Feng'er don't be in a hurry, 800,000 people, recruit 100,000 troops, you can't bear it." ”
"This teacher doesn't have to worry, the students know it." Liu Feng said with a smile, paused and said: "During this time, the students just want the teacher to recruit 10,000 troops, join Li Yan, and station troops near the public security. Then ordered Zilong to recruit 10,000 cavalry, making up 65,000 people. ”
"Still not right." Xu Shu's brows slackened slightly, but he was still a little worried.
If the ratio of the people to the army is ten to one, it is a reckless force. And now Liu Feng has 800,000 people, but 60,000 troops. Thirteen to one. It's almost a desperate war.
This kind of thing is very dangerous.
"Hehe, this teacher doesn't have to worry. At present, the situation in Jingchu and Jiangdong, I believe the teacher is already clear. Liu Bei was worried about his gray hair, and he believed that Jiangdong, Kuaiyue, and Cai Junshi were the same. Exactly, I have food, millions of stones. As he spoke, Liu Feng's eyes were filled with golden light, naked golden light.
"On the Jiangdong side, what the students want is hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people. and 200,000 catties of iron ore. On Jing Chu's side, Cai Junshi is the student's father-in-law, and the student is cheaper, and a Wuling County can consider supporting Jing Chu's food. ”
Looking at Liu Feng, whose eyes were glowing with golden light, Xu Shu was a little speechless.
This wealth is really simple, and the timing seems to help this disciple.
There have been occasional droughts and floods in Jingchu and Jiangdong, but they have never been as severe as this time. This opportunity, Leng let this disciple get it.
It's not about helping out what it is.
800,000 people, plus hundreds of thousands, a Wuling County has a population of 200,000. That adds up to 15.6 million.
After this calculation, Xu Shu no longer expressed his opinion on Liu Feng's threat to raise 65,000 troops. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Xu Shu is a handsome talent, a strategist, and even involved in Wenzhi. It's considered comprehensively.
But Zhao Yun is just thinking about the present.
Hearing that Liu Feng wanted to recruit 10,000 cavalry, Zhao Yun felt that it was inappropriate. There are still some doubts.
These 9,000 war horses and 10,000 cavalry are really inappropriate. But it is impossible for Liu Feng to make such a low-level mistake, I remember that Liu Feng communicated with him a lot of cavalry back then.
"This, will....lord. Is 10,000 cavalry too much? Zhao Yun asked.
Regarding Zhao Yun's question, Liu Feng had some considerations in his heart. Nine thousand war horses, Liu Feng's plan is to raise three thousand cavalry, so as to achieve the highest equipment of cavalry, one person and three horses.
But the problem is that Liu Feng's war horses will continue to increase, according to Liu Feng's calculations, before the Battle of Chibi, the number of war horses will surge to 30,000. Enough to feed 10,000 cavalry.
In order to avoid increasing the number of troops again and again, it is better to increase the surname by 10,000 people at a time.
Think about it, one man, three horses. One horse carries a man, and the other is empty. The other horse was carrying dry rations and arrows. That speed will be a rush of wind. There is no need to resupply yet.
Liu Feng knew that the fighting water army was inferior to Jiangdong, so he invented the steamship. also knows that the number of fighting cavalry will never be comparable to Cao Ying.
Then spell it out.
One man, three horses. This kind of cavalry is the highest equipment, and only in Mongolia has appeared for a while. No one in this day and age would be so wasteful.
And Liu Feng is just a person who will be willing to spend money and waste it.
One person and three horses, come and go without a trace. There is no need to resupply yet. How cool.
Liu Feng planned to talk to Zhao Yun about this idea. First-class cavalry generals, as well as the highest equipment of cavalry. Perhaps the future achievements will not be inferior to the destruction of a battalion.
However, before that, I still have to explain to Zhao Yun how this war horse came about.
"Teacher, Zilong. Come with me. Liu Feng smiled slightly and took Zhao Yunlai deep into the ranch.
At this moment, the war horses in the pasture are very leisurely. It's a trained war horse again, and his surname is not very unruly.
Therefore, Liu Feng and the others approached the group of war horses very smoothly.
"Zilong look at these war horses, do you find them familiar?" Approaching the edge of the war horse herd, Liu Feng casually pointed to the war horse in front of him and asked with a smile.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately set his eyes on the war horse in front of him, and he hadn't found anything at first. But Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly widened.
The size of Tongling. It's almost bulging.
In order to confirm whether what he saw was the truth, Zhao Yun couldn't care about Liu Feng. At the scene, the war horses were stroked one by one, and the war horses were carefully watched.
In the end, the expression became more and more excited.
"Liaodong war horses, these are Liaodong war horses. You can't go wrong, a huge number of Liaodong war horses. Zhao Yun's expression was very excited.
Although Liaodong is the territory of Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang, the word Liaodong War Horse is a general reference. Gongsun Zan is the Taishou of Liaoxi, and most of the war horses he uses are produced in Liaoxi, but the breed is also the war horse from Liaodong.
Liaodong is the place where Zhao Yun is sharpened. Zhao Yun is very familiar with the Liaodong War Horse, and he will not be wrong about paying for it.
Zhao Yun has been in exile with Liu Bei for many years. The war horses on the Liaodong side were rarely seen, because Cao Ying blocked them. The war horses they can get are all war horses from Liangzhou.
From Liangzhou to Hanzhong and then to Jingzhou. To be honest, the quality is uneven. Liaodong war horses, almost difficult to see.
Suddenly seeing a large group of Liaodong war horses, Zhao Yun initially suspected that he had seen it wrong. But after stroking more than a dozen war horses, Zhao Yun finally confirmed.
A large part of the war horses here come from Liaodong.
And Liaodong and Jiangxia are separated by Cao Ying. Cao Ying's control of the war horse is almost to the point of perversion. So many Liaodong war horses appeared in Jiangxia.
It's a little unbelievable, and it's a little unlikely. Hardly possible.
But Zhao Yun personally confirmed the existence of a large group of Liaodong war horses.
This, this, this.
Zhao Yun and Xu Shu both set their sights on Liu Feng. I want to hear Liu Feng's explanation.
