Since there were more Fa Zheng and Meng Da under his subordinates, since there was no big war, Fa Zheng went to Jia Xu to help, which made Jia Xu, Zhong Xuan and Li Yan a lot easier.

On this day, Zhang Xiu was at home as usual to accompany Chen Yao, who had almost finished confinement, but heard a report from the porter: "Master, Zhendong General Hua Xiong, Changshi Jia Xu, Wuwei General Zhao Yun, Huya General Zhang Liao, and the Military Priest Sacrificial Wine Law are asking to see outside." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said secretly: "Hey, why did they come together." After thinking about it, he said: "Please go into the living room and ask the housekeeper to wait for the fragrant tea fried by Xiao Lu Qian." ”

The porter replied: "Promise ......"

After Zhang Xiu changed his clothes, he went out to the living room, and saw a few people sitting on the tea, but he smiled and said, "How about this fragrant tea?" ”

Jia Xu, who has always been the first to speak, said this time: "The taste is sweet and fragrant, and drinking it can calm the mind. ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "This is tea, it is made by a child in the embroidery house, if Wenhe likes it, wait for Wenhe to take some." ”

Jia Xu was also not polite and said, "Thank you, lord." ”

Zhao Yun saw it, but said: "Senior brother is eccentric. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled: "Zilong, you can also take some back." ”

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng thanked each other in unison, but Hua Xiong was full of smiles and said to Zhang Xiu: "Lord, I don't want this tea, I will take a few jars of wine in the cellar of the lord." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said with a smile: "Okay, you are allowed to take two jars, and we will go to your house for dinner together tonight, remember to serve good wine and food." ”

Hua Xiong heard this, and said with a bitter face: "This, I still don't want the two jars of wine, and you don't have to go to my house for dinner." ”

The crowd heard and burst into laughter.

After laughing, Zhang Xiu asked, "Wenhe, why are you here together?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Xu and Xiaozhi just came together, and the three generals who really had important things to find the lord were the three generals, and Xu was only responsible for helping to provide news." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said curiously: "Oh? What is it that requires the three of you to search for embroidery at the same time? ”

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, and first said: "Lord, it's not that you want us to combine the advantages of the three major cavalry of the Han Dynasty to form an elite cavalry, but after we discussed it, we found that this move is not feasible. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, knelt down, and asked, "Let's tell me in detail." ”

Hua Xiong took the lead and said: "Among the three major cavalry of the Han Dynasty, the Youzhou cavalry and the Bingzhou cavalry are light cavalry, not mainly to break the enemy, whether it is Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong or Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry. On the contrary, the Xiliang cavalry is mainly to break the enemy, and the characteristics of the Flying Bear Army that General Xu once trained are the most obvious, and the lord and the male have also commanded the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is the most clear. From the war horse to the soldiers, they are all wearing armor and stomachs, and they are the characteristics of the Xiliang cavalry to break the enemy with a large army, and it is really difficult to integrate the advantages of the three major cavalry into one army. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "That's right, if you are wearing iron armor and heavy weapons, you can't play the light cavalry tactics of the wolf cavalry and the Youzhou cavalry at all, I hope the lord will think twice." ”

Zhang Xiu thought about it carefully, and found that what the three of them said was actually reasonable, Zhang Xiu had only commanded the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and had not really fought with Bai Mayi, the representative of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Youzhou Cavalry, and had only heard of these two troops, and could not grasp their characteristics at all, and now after discussing with the three of them, they found that the plan they had set before did not work at all.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu turned his head and asked Jia Xu, "What does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "According to the situation of the princes in various places investigated by the shadows, Xu has an inference, but I don't know if it is right or not, if there is a mistake, the lord should not blame it." ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Wen He and try to say it." ”

Jia Xu said: "Let me first talk about Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, which is a light cavalry, and both melee and long-range attacks cannot be regarded as top-notch, but because of its balance and good discipline, it can be defeated against the Hu people in the north of Youzhou, who are also dominated by light cavalry." And why Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong had a big defeat at the boundary bridge, one is that there are capable people under Yuan Shao's command who saw through the characteristics of White Horse Yicong, and specially arranged for Lu Yi's first deceased to break it. The shadow has not been able to detect the first to die, but there is no doubt that the first dead man is the nemesis of the light cavalry. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu said again: "Let's talk about the wolf riding in Bingzhou, this matter is what Wen Yuan said, and the wolf riding in Bingzhou is the cavalry formed by Lu Bu when he faced the northern Xiongnu when he was merging the state, and its characteristic is the wolf pack tactics, with Lu Bu as the head wolf, and the rest of the soldiers are a pack of wolves. With Lu Bu's bravery and this tactic, it is not difficult to win against the Huns who are also light horses, and the places of battle are all on the prairie, which is more conducive to the play of wolf cavalry in Bingzhou. However, when the Bingzhou wolf rode to the Central Plains, he met Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which can be said to have met a nemesis. If it weren't for Lu Bu's courage in Luoyang City, he scared Dong Zhuo away, but I was afraid that it would be Xiliang Tieqi who won at that time. There is an incident that the lord may not know, but it happened after the lord went to Bishui Pass that day. After Lu Bu voted for Dong Zhuo on the same day, because the generals of Xiliang were dissatisfied with Lu Bu, they privately ordered the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to fight with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the final result was that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which had a strong ability to charge into battle, won completely. According to Wen Yuan, since that time, Lu Bu ordered Gao to obey and select 700 elite soldiers from the wolf cavalry in the state to form a trap camp, which was specially formed to deal with cavalry with strong charging ability like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”

After Zhang Xiu listened, he said: "If it is as Wen He said, the Youzhou cavalry, which is more similar to the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, is only afraid that it is not the opponent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason. However, the Xiliang iron cavalry also has a nemesis, the Han Dynasty absorbs the strengths of the old Qin, has vigorously built a bow and crossbow, this bow and crossbow has been built in the time of Emperor Wu to destroy the Huns, in the past years, Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, led five thousand foot soldiers to annihilate ten times the Hun cavalry, although Li Ling surrendered the Huns, but the battle record can be described as brilliant. And Li Ling relied on 5,000 foot soldiers to be able to annihilate ten times the Hun cavalry, and the one was the bow and crossbow. The Hun light cavalry suffered heavy losses in the face of the bow and crossbow, and the Xiliang iron cavalry, which was inferior to the Hun light cavalry in terms of maneuverability, could only become the target of the bow and crossbow. And when dealing with bows and crossbows, the Youzhou cavalry who can attack from a distance and close combat in leather armor may be easier to deal with. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xiu asked suspiciously: "What does Wenhe mean......?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "If Xiaozhi makes a word, let him talk to the lord." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Filial piety and carefulness." ”

Fa Zheng nodded and said: "I just think that the lord should form an elite, when the main thing is to be comprehensive, and the cooperation of the arms is the mainstay, if all the advantages are concentrated in one army as the lord thought before, whether it can be formed is not yet known, even if it can be successfully formed, it will be time-consuming and laborious." ”

Jia Xu also nodded and said: "What Xiaozhi said is very true, according to the shadow detection, the tiger and leopard cavalry formed by Cao Cao is actually two armies, divided into tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry, the tiger cavalry is used to charge the battle, it is a heavy cavalry built with heavy gold, and the leopard cavalry is a light cavalry. ”

Fa Zheng continued: "I thought that the Lord asked the three generals to form this army, and they could follow Cao Cao's example and set up two armies, using the tactics of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to train a heavy cavalry dedicated to charging into battle, and then training the light cavalry with training running and wolf tactics, so that the two armies should be invincible when they are united." ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he frowned and said, "In this way, wouldn't it be duplicated with the troops trained by Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang, Han Sheng, and Ziyi?" ”

Fa Zheng heard this, shook his head and said: "No, General Huang, General Taishi, General Hu and General Zhou formed two troops after all, and the three generals formed by the lord asked the three generals to form one army, and this army is longer than coordinated operations. The troops trained by the three generals were a combination of the other two troops, and the lord had these three cavalry and should be able to use them flexibly. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu still frowned and said: "Although what Xiaozhi said is reasonable, will it be too wasteful to build a unit with a heavy amount of money to repeat the combat path now?" If there is a land of two states, the embroidery will not hesitate to form, not only is the land large, but there are more places that need to be guarded, and now there are only three counties, there are flying feather archers and Hu Che'er The charging cavalry they trained, I am afraid that it is enough. ”

Fa Zheng listened, changed his previous calmness, and said loudly: "The lord's words are wrong, the so-called people have no long-term worries, although the lord now only owns the land of three counties, but it is also in danger, fortunately, now the princes in various places have their own reasons, did not deal with the lord, the lord should take this opportunity to recuperate, form a large army, if you want to send troops in the future, you can also have soldiers." The lord also said that the next goal is to capture the pass, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou's headquarters are cavalry, if the pass is captured, the army under the command of Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui is also cavalry, and these two places are mainly plains, and it is too difficult to break the cavalry with foot soldiers, without terrain assistance, so it can only be calculated by riding to control the cavalry. If the lord is to defend the territory, two elite cavalry is indeed enough, but if the lord wants to expand the territory, he must form three elite cavalry at this time, and more will be needed in the future. At this point, if the lord wants to be the lord of the master, he should think twice. ”

After listening to it, Zhang Xiu high-fived and praised: "A good law filial piety, embroidery is not willing to be the master of a guard, Hua Xiong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao listened to the order, ordered you to form a thunder cloud horse, the thunder horse is all armored, equipped with a spear, mainly to charge the battle, the number should be two thousand, by Hua Xiong is responsible, the cloud horse is equipped with leather armor, bows and arrows and sabers, mainly to train shooting and wolf tactics, the number should be three thousand, by Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are responsible. You can also go to Hanzhong to find Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and others for help. ”

The three of them heard it and replied loudly: "Promise ......"

At this time, Zhang Xiu asked again: "Wenyuan, you still want to train foot soldiers with Gongming, I don't know how it is going?" ”
