As soon as he entered the study, Chen Wu lifted his robe and knelt down, Zhao Hanzhang, who was walking in front, was startled, and hurriedly turned around to help him, "Oh, General Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Wu insisted on kneeling, and said with a serious face that in the past year, he and the beggar army have been conquered by Zhao Hanzhang's personality charm, and he and the beggar army are willing to submit to Zhao Hanzhang, and only her orders will be obeyed in the future.

He hoped that Zhao Hanzhang would accept him and accept the beggar army.

Zhao Hanzhang was stunned, she thought that it would take another year to subdue the beggar army, but she didn't expect him to suddenly propose to surrender.

Zhao Hanzhang's heart moved, and he immediately understood why he chose this time.

It's for the horses that just came back.

Seriously, she really didn't plan to leave horses for the beggar army, such good things are naturally to cheapen their own people first, the Zhao family army she personally led, Erlang and Beigong Chun all need horses, this time the horse didn't even get Zhao Ju, and Xun Xiu and other Yuzhou troops, naturally it is not the turn of half of the outsider's begging army.

But now......

Zhao Hanzhang helped him up with a smile, accepted the person, and then asked, "I remember that there are not many horses in your army, and most of them are horses for transporting goods."

Chen Wu nodded again and again, indicating that yes, the beggar army only had six horses that could be ridden, and the rest were oxen and horses pulling goods, and everyone relied on their legs to fight.

is so poor, let alone buying horses, the armor ownership rate of their entire army does not exceed 30%, as well as weapons and equipment, etc., which are the weakest of the several armies in Luoyang.

But this is the case, when they are holding wooden guns and sticks to fight with Zhao Erlang's Zhao family's army, they can still suppress the Zhao family's army.

However, in order to take care of Zhao Erlang's face, Chen Wu, who considered himself sleek, deliberately chose some weak and thin soldiers from the army to fight, and then let the water go, and the two sides barely reached a draw.

Zhao Hanzhang naturally knew the power of the beggar army, and he didn't think that the foot soldiers under Zhao Erlang could defeat the beggar army like this on the real battlefield.

You must know that after the fall of the Central Plains, the beggar army fought alone in the north, and has been unwilling to surrender, blocking Shi Le and Liu Cong and others many times.

And the beggar army is not only Chen Wu, in Jizhou and Youzhou, there are beggar troops from the state, all of them are refugees, relying on crude weapons to fight against the Hu people, in later generations, the beggar army was rated as the most fierce and strong peasant army in history.

And Chen Wu's beggar army lasted the longest, when he was there, he and Shi Le fought back and forth in the Pengguan area, and in the past ten years, Shi Le failed to take Pengguan.

It was not until his death that Chen Chuan surrendered to Shile with the beggar army, but that was also Chen Chuan's personal will, and the beggar army as a whole was unwilling to surrender.

Such a strong and backbone team was taken in by Zhao Hanzhang today, and she naturally wanted it to become stronger.

However, the most outstanding thing about the beggar army is infantry combat, and Zhao Hanzhang does not intend to favor them in the distribution of horses.

Hearing that Zhao Hanzhang only planned to divide his twenty horses, Chen Wu was slightly disappointed, but before the loss fell to the ground, Zhao Hanzhang mentioned their weapons and armor.

Chen Wu's eyes lit up and he looked at her excitedly.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's rare for General Chen to come once, it's better to stay for a few more days, let's take a look at the arsenal together, and the broken weapons in your army should also be replaced."

"Yes, yes."

"I'll let the weapon workshop start making some armor, and equip more while there is no war in winter, and I don't know if the Huns will go south next year."

Chen Wu: "Yes, yes, yes."

Horses are more important than weapons and armor, and of course weapon armor is more important.

Chen Wu has ambitions and wants to form a cavalry, the world is a general, who doesn't want an invincible cavalry?

But he also knows where the strengths of the beggar army are, and for an army to survive, he must maintain his strengths, and if he can make it irreplaceable, then the army can last for a long time.

His infantry, the ferocity of the beggar army and the momentum of the death place are the reasons for the constant victory, if the weapons can be optimized on this basis, and the armor can be added, the beggar army will be more brave.

Think of it, he's barefoot, he's ragged, and he can fight his way with a knife that's not sharp enough, not to mention, now he can put on shoes, wear armor, and hold a sharp weapon.

When Chen Wu followed Zhao Hanzhang out of the study, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and his mouth was almost behind his ears.

Beigong Chun's heart sank when he saw it, and he couldn't help but glance at Xie Shi, this time, the horses will not be given to the beggar army, right?

That, of course, is impossible.

This time, in addition to the foal who failed to go to the battlefield, Beigong Chun got the most points, followed by Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Erlang.

Of course, she also wanted to build an invincible cavalry in the Zhao family's army, but she knew that compared to the cavalry, it was still Beigong Chun's Xiliang army that was the best.

Now if there is a good horse, you have to hold on to him first.

Beigong Chun left satisfied, and Chen Wu was also very satisfied, and ran to chase Beigong Chun.

Although he gave up his plan to form a cavalry for the time being, the beggar army will definitely need a cavalry in the future, so he will have a good relationship with Beigong Chun first, and you can ask him more when training in the future.

Beigong Chun was also willing to intersect with Chen Wu, and the two of them went to the restaurant to drink shoulder to shoulder.

Xie Shi stayed, and as soon as they left, he said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Envoy, the Zhao family army should still have a brave cavalry."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Not bad."

"Do you think you'd like to take that cavalry yourself, or should you give it to someone else?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does Mr. Xie think?"

"I thought that Jun Ri had a lot of opportunities and couldn't train his troops every day, so it was better to hand over this matter to the little general," Xie Shi said: "The commander of the Zhao family's army is you, whether it is Zhao Ju, Qiu Wu or the little general, they are all your generals, it is better to hand over the cavalry to the little general to train."

Zhao Erlang didn't recognize a few words in the past two years, but his kung fu is getting better and better day by day, it may be that the amount of exercise is large, the fifteen-year-old young man is strong and strong, and his strength is great, and his martial arts are not weaker than Zeng Yue.

Even if he fights martial arts right away, he can tie with Zhao Hanzhang, and he has taken dozens of moves under Beigong Chun's hands.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "This method is good."

Zhao Hanzhang agreed.

Xie Shi took the opportunity to say: "There are still too few horses in the army, and if you want to form a cavalry, you have to buy more horses."

After that, Xie Shi stared at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang: ......

She rubbed her forehead and looked at Fan Ying, "How much money can you take out in the warehouse?"

Fan Ying said: "Mr. Ming said that we have to set aside 1 million for emergencies, and the rest, according to the accounts reported by various places this year, there is still a shortfall of 8 million yuan."

After a pause, she said, "But in addition to the money that has been decided to be allocated at this stage, there are still 3.58 million dollars available."

It sounds like a lot, but Zhao Hanzhang habitually exchanges money for silver to use, isn't this more than three thousand taels of silver?

How many horses can I buy?

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes, horses, according to the unit price reported this time, you can buy a lot, but in fact, the cost of the road is higher than the value of the horse.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded the table and asked, "I remember that Wu Erlang said yesterday that Xianbei didn't like our new money, but wanted us to exchange glass, cloth and porcelain?"

"Yes," Ji Yuan nodded, "and salt and iron."

Zhao Hanzhang: "There is no need to think about salt and ironware, we don't have enough for ourselves, and it is strictly forbidden to sell ironware, copper and salt with Hu people."

The crowd should go down.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let people weave more cloth, next time we will barter, as for the money in the warehouse, we will use it to pay some travel expenses." Let the workshops hurry up, and let Wu Erlang follow when the Jinyang Army leaves this time."

In other words, Wu Erlang doesn't have to go to other places for the time being, and first takes the direct trade between Jinyang and Luoyang.

It was Gao Xu's caravan that returned to Luoyang with Wu Erlang before and after.
