Chapter 152: War Horse

Wang Yun's face was shocked, four or five hundred war horses is not a small number, the acquisition of such a large batch of war horses, although not to mention raising Yunzhai's military strength by a level, at least it can also make Yunzhai's cavalry completely formed! A hundred cavalry can only be used as a scout for the army, and three hundred cavalry can only pose a threat to a thousand-scale military formation, but a thousand cavalry together can be fatal to the threat of tens of thousands of infantry in formation!

When He Yi said this, how could he not move Wang Yun. Wang Yun hurriedly asked, "Do you really have news?" But as far as I know, we don't have any large wild horse colonies in our vicinity, and we haven't even heard of wild horses. Even if it is a horse farm, there are few in our Jizhou, where did such a large number of horses come from? Moreover, if you really have news, then before, how could there be no movement in your Qinglong Village? Although Wang Yun values it very much, he also has some doubts in his heart, and if he has doubts, he will naturally ask them.

He Yi smiled bitterly: "Lord, these war horses are not wild horses, nor are they war horses from any horse farm, but war horses from the grassland in the north. You also bought horses from those horse dealers last year, so you should know about them. Now calculate the time, the time for them to sell horses this year is coming again, if we can intercept them on the way, then four or five hundred war horses will not be captured! Since He Yi opened his mouth, he no longer hesitated, Wang Yun asked, and he knew everything.

Wang Yun suddenly realized that He Yi was talking about this batch of war horses. Indeed, the horses were brought in from the steppe, and the time was quite punctual, and it was indeed time to arrive at the pottery. There are definitely a lot of these war horses, if they can be intercepted quietly, it will definitely be of great help to Yunzhai, however, Wang Yun is a little troublesome.

First of all, these horse dealers are not a small force, not a horse thief. They are not small, and it can be seen from their words that horse trafficking should be the action of some large tribe or some large tribe on the grassland, and their trading object is definitely not only Julu County. Therefore, they have a lot of energy, if they offend them, Wang Yun may be a little troublesome if he wants to get a horse in the future. However, if you think that the coming year will be the Yellow Turban Uprising, the losses after this point are nothing compared to the value of four or five hundred war horses.

Secondly, it was Xun Da who traded with these horse dealers, which made Wang Yun a little scrupled. Although Xun Da is only a small township chief, he has helped Wang Yun and Yunzhai in the past, and if Wang Yun intercepts this batch of war horses now, he will have a lot of losses. Even, if it is pursued by those wealthy families in Xiatao, it is possible to lose office. Wang Yun has always been a person who takes enmity and hatred very seriously, and Wang Yun is a little resistant to such a thing that harms his friends and benefits himself. Of course, Wang Yun is not the kind of bad person, if this batch of war horses can be won, it will be very beneficial to the development of Yunzhai, and Wang Yun will never show mercy. As for Xun Da, Wang Yun had already thought about it, and after the incident, he believed that even if he concealed it, the entire Julu County should know that it was his own doing. When the time comes, Wang Yun will stand up and admit that he can help Xun Da.

In the end, Wang Yun thought of an important question, that is, he didn't know the marching route of these horse dealers! Although they knew the approximate time when they arrived in Julu County, the horse dealer was not a fool, and naturally understood the importance of secrecy. The big Han is not only Wang Yun, these bandits and bandits have the idea of robbing them, in this land, everyone knows the important surname of the war horse, if there is a chance, who doesn't want to get hundreds of war horses empty-handed! Therefore, even though these warriors from the steppe were still confident in their own behind, they still kept their marching routes strictly secret. They were riding horses again, and they were very fast, and Wang Yun's attempt to intercept them seemed to be just wishful thinking.

The first two problems are easy to say, but the third one is the most difficult to solve. However, Wang Yun believes that since He Yi said this problem, he should give suggestions for such an obvious problem as the route.

So, Wang Yun said: "It turned out to be these war horses, well, although I have always disagreed with this kind of thing." But this batch of war horses is of great benefit to the development of our Yunzhai, and I have to do our bandits' own work. It's just that, He Yi, we don't know much about the marching route of this war horse. Since you said that we can get these war horses, then I think there should already be a case. Let's talk about it, if you can get these war horses, then after the expansion of the cavalry song, I will appoint you as a military marquis! ”

He Yi was happy in his heart, this was exactly what he wanted. Cavalry is obviously one of the two major arms of Yunzhai, the important surname of Yunzhai is self-evident, although he is now responsible for the regular training of cavalry, but the status and E Chongyu, who holds the brute soldier, the future ace of Yunzhai general, has a big gap. In the long run, wouldn't the interests of their Qinglongzhai as a whole not be guaranteed. Wang Yun's words were equivalent to giving him a reassuring pill, and he couldn't help but be unhappy.

He Yi said: "Lord, this is not a problem. For this group of horse dealers, our Qinglongzhai has not paid attention to them for a year or two, and our attention to them can be traced back to four years ago. We definitely know one of the best about them. Speaking of this, He Yi had a smile in his eyes, obviously very complacent about this.

Without waiting for Wang Yun to ask, He Yi continued: "Lord, after such a long time of understanding, we found that although the whereabouts of these horse dealers are secret, there is a place that they will inevitably go to, that is, Xiao Shuiping, not far north of Gaoyi. Probably because the horses needed to be hydrated, and they would have gone to this place anyway. In this way, even though their whereabouts are secretive, we can also set up ambushes in their path. They didn't even need to set up an ambush, they were just horse thieves, and although they were cavalry, they were still far behind us who were highly trained soldiers. As long as we block them, then we can naturally take them down. ”

"Hushuiping?" Wang Yun asked, he really hadn't heard of such a place.

He Yi patted his forehead and said to Wang Yun: "Lord, this is what I didn't make clear. It's not a big place, just two small villages, but it is speculated that this place is likely to be some of the strongholds of these horse dealers in the interior. Although this place is small, its defense capability is certainly not low, so it is better not to hit their attention. Hushuiping is more than 300 miles northeast of Gaoyi County, and next to it is Hushui, which is a good place to replenish water. And Hushuiping is four or five hundred miles away from Baixiang City, the base of the horse dealers in Julu County, and it is farther away from us, nearly six hundred miles, which is almost equivalent to the distance to Xiatao. Although it is far away, it does not have a big impact on us. After all, we don't need to send troops on a large scale, we only need to send the fastest cavalry, plus competent generals. ”

Wang Yun looked at He Yi and said, "He Yi, you are very them!" You have found out such a long distance, but there is nothing to be found in Gaoyi County, which is much closer to Huanshuiping. "From this Wang Yun, he also saw the ambition of Qinglongzhai, but it is a pity that in this opponent's mountain, it was Yunzhai who won the victory.

He Yi didn't answer, now it makes no sense for him to say anything, he has already said everything he should say, what to do, it depends on Wang Yun's thoughts. It doesn't make sense for him to say anything more.

Wang Yun thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, He Yi, you have a heart, if we can successfully obtain this batch of war horses, you will definitely get what you deserve!" You let our knights prepare well! This is their time to show their might! If they return victorious this time, they will be rewarded with ten gold coins when they come back, and they can be given two days off. Let's go down. ”

E Chongyu, Zeng Hong and others looked at He Yi with envy in their eyes, this credit is not small, although Yunzhai does not determine its status by merit, but the merit is not useless, at least in terms of rewards, Wang Yun is not stingy! Rewards can't be compared to positions of power, but something is better than nothing, isn't it?

He Yi was also a little fluttering by their eyes, and he was used in his heart. However, there was another question that he had to ask, he caught up with Wang Yun, who was already leaving, and asked, "Lord, I don't know who is leading this operation?" I think it's better for you to go out in person. ”

"Oh?" Wang Yun turned his head to look at He Yi, a little inquiring. Although Wang Yun meant to go into battle by himself and set an example for the cavalry to attack, it was also possible to see He Yi's thoughts.

He Yi also saw Wang Yun's doubts and said, "Lord, you may not know that these horse dealers are not simple. Most of them were male soldiers or even elite soldiers, and although the leaders were merchants, there were actually fourth-order or even fifth-order generals among them. Therefore, although their military discipline is not good, the combat power they can show is still not low. If there is no lord in charge, I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the task by then. Five hundred war horses is not a small number, my lord, we can't be cautious! ”

Wang Yun didn't have any expression on his face, he patted He Yi's shoulder and said, "Five hundred war horses is indeed not a small number, so I naturally won't ignore it." This operation is naturally led by me, alas, I also robbed you of the credit, you won't blame me! ”

He Yi lowered his head and said, "The lord is serious, how can He Yi complain about you?" ”
