Chapter 315: The Old Female Qi, the First Horse Farm
More than half of the unitary time.
At the beginning of night, the lights are gradually burning.
Xu Yixing walked to an empty table and took a seat.
Then he looked at the shop that was busy by the boiler with a smile on his face.
He shouted, "Shopkeeper, three bowls of mutton in a basin, a plate of spicy seeds, a pot of wine, and six Hu cakes."
The shopkeeper who was busy by the boiler heard the words and said loudly without looking back, "The guest officer will sit down first, and it will be fine immediately."
The words fell.
Without raising his head, the shopkeeper shouted again loudly, "Old Li Tou, six Hu cakes."
Hearing this, Lao Li Tou unhurriedly lifted the cover and took out six steaming cakes from the cake basket.
Then he limped towards the dining table.
As he walked, he asked, "Which guest officer asked for the six hu cakes?"
Xu Yi looked at the limping figure in the darkness, chuckled and beckoned, "This way, this way."
"Which...... Which side?" Lao Li Tou paused in place when he heard this, and asked again with a dazzle on his face.
"This way, this way." Hearing this, Xu Yi waved his hand again and again.
At the same time, the smile on his lips grew stronger.
"Come on...... Here we ......."
When Lao Li Tou heard this, the color on his face instantly dissipated without a trace, and was replaced by a thick sense of disbelief.
More than ten years later.
Lao Li Tou calmed down slightly, and then walked towards the dining table where Xu Yi and Yang Xian'an were located.
After seeing the faces of the two people sitting in the lamplight.
Lao Li's eyes instantly turned red, his palms were unstable, and six steaming Hu cakes almost fell to the ground.
"Grass People...... The grass people meet the Beijing ...... Yan ....."
Seeing this, Lao Li Tou instantly came back to his senses, hurriedly stabilized the bamboo basket in his hand, and then knelt down and saluted.
However, he did not wait for the rest of the words to blurt out, and did not wait for his knees to fall to the ground.
Xu Yi walked to his side with lightning speed, supporting his arms with both hands.
"Li Shixin Li Dadu, long time no see."
Xu Yi looked at the old Li Tou in front of him with a smile and chuckled.
"Temple...... What about Your Highness...... I don't know."
Li Shixin was stunned for a few breaths when he heard this, and then muttered and asked.
"Taste, and here."
Xu Yi smiled, and then reached out and nodded at the mouth of the snack.
Just like a scholar, there is always the fragrance of paper and ink.
There is always a smell of onion and garlic on the kitchen.
People who have been in the military all the year round, even if they have never been in battle.
But to a greater or lesser extent, it will also be contaminated with the unique smell of the military.
And the longer you stay in the army, the more difficult it is to eliminate this smell.
It seems to be deep in the bones.
Xu Yi still remembers the scene when he first met Li Shixin.
At that time, Li Shixin never had the slightest verbal exchange with him.
However, the posture of standing next to the boiler in the street full of the breath of the city is like a light in the dark, and people always unconsciously turn their eyes to it.
[At present, it is the most complete and best sound for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
Yu Xu Yi's head.
As Xu Yi guessed, Li Shixin was really born in the military.
And it is from Zhao Qingyan's army.
It's just that he is neither a general who leads the army in battle, nor a soldier who rushes to the front.
It is the horse administration who manages the war horses, and he is the chief shepherd of the horse herder.
It is to be determined that Li Shixin seems to be a friend rather than a friend behind enemy enemies.
Xu Yi put the matter aside for the time being.
At that time, he was in the midst of a critical period of disaster relief.
I can't afford to be distracted from such trivial matters.
Afterward.
Xu Yi sealed Wang Yandi.
He also sent people to look for Li Shixin.
But it's a pity.
At that time, Li Shixin had already left Chang'an City, and his whereabouts were unknown.
......
......
In the east of Fuyang City, the bustling street water basin mutton stall.
Li Shixin was stunned when he heard this.
After counting the interest.
Li Shixin came back to his senses slightly, and then looked up at Xu Yi with a smile on his face.
"Really..... There is nothing in this world that can be hidden from His Royal Highness King Yan."
Li Shixin's eyes were red and he sighed.
"After being crowned king, Lone Zeng ordered someone to go to find Governor Li."
"But it's a pity that Governor Li had already left Beijing at that time, and his whereabouts were unknown."
"I never thought that you and I would meet here again today."
Xu Yi chuckled, then took the cake in Li Shixin's hand, and pulled him to sit down at the square table.
"Creation makes people."
Li Shixin sat next to Xu Yi and sighed with a sigh on his face.
"After learning that His Royal Highness King Yan has sealed the land of King Yan."
"The grass people thought about seeing if they could help His Royal Highness King Yan a little while they could still move."
"So even though he packed up all his belongings, he pulled his old partner for more than ten years and left Chang'an City ahead of schedule."
"I wanted to go all over the Yan Land before His Royal Highness King Yan arrived."
"But after all, I'm still old, and my body is not as good as before."
"I didn't walk the whole land until five days ago."
"I wanted to wait for the New Year to go to the palace to disturb it."
"Unexpectedly, fate has come, and I can see you at Your Highness today."
Li Shixin looked up at Xu Yi, who was sitting next to him, and muttered softly.
"In the past six months, I have worked hard for Governor Li."
Xu Yi's face was straight, and he bowed to Li Shixin.
"Your Highness is serious."
Seeing this, Li Shixin hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Xu Yi's salute.
"Pastor Li deserves to bow down, and I hope that Pastor Li will not refrain from resigning."
Xu Yi said with an extremely serious face.
"Li Shixin, the former general of the Horse Husbandry Division under the command of Zhao Qing, visited the prince."
Li Shixin no longer avoided when he heard this, so he got up and saluted Xu Yi with a deep fist.
"Pastor Li doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat quickly."
When Xu Yi heard this, most of the seriousness on his face instantly dissipated, and was replaced by a thick smile.
"Obey."
Li Shixin got up and smiled at Xu Yi tacitly, and then sat down next to Xu Yi again.
"Dare to ask the prince what is the geometry of his existing war horses?" ….
Li Shixin sat down and looked upright, so he asked in a low voice.
"Count ...... Today"
Xu Yi's face was also upright when he heard this, and he wanted to answer truthfully.
The shopkeeper held a tray with three bowls of mutton, a plate of spicy seeds, and a pot of wine on it, and walked briskly.
"The three bowls of mutton, a plate of spicy seeds, and a pot of wine you want are all ready, please use them slowly."
The shopkeeper walked to the square table where Xu Yi and the three of them were sitting, and shouted loudly.
The words fell.
After the store has finished putting the contents on the plate
。
When Fang was about to get up and leave, his face suddenly froze.
"Old man Li?"
The shopkeeper blinked, and then looked at Li Shixin, who was sitting next to Xu Yi, with confusion.
"Don't come and see the prince yet."
Li Shixin pulled the cloth of his old friend and reminded in a low voice.
'Wang ...... Rajah? ,
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly turned his head to look at Xu Yi, who was sitting upright in the main seat.
"Grass People...... The grass people are dizzy...... Grass Folk ...... The grass people meet ......"
After opening his eyes wide and seeing Xu Yi's face clearly, the shopkeeper's expression was visibly panicked.
"No need to be polite, just business as usual."
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to blurt out, Xu Yi immediately waved his hand slightly.
"Yes...... Yes......"
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and left the square table where Xu Yi and the three of them were sitting with a slight vague step.
"If you count the 20,000 horses that arrived today."
"Now there are 57,912 horses in the king's camp."
"In addition, more than 4,000 war horses are being transported from the Western Regions."
"When we arrive at Yandi in March, Wang Daying should have 60,000 horses."
After the shopkeeper returned to the boiler again, Xu Yi turned his head slightly sideways and looked at Li Shixin again and replied.
'60,000 horses, 20,000 new arrivals...... More than 4,000 horses are coming to ......,
Li Shixin's brows furrowed instantly when he heard this, and he muttered in a low voice.
It seems that after counting the more than 4,000 war horses transported from the Western Regions, the total number of war horses should be more than 62,000.
But in fact, the journey from the Western Regions is extremely long, and it is not easy for seventy percent of the more than 4,000 war horses to reach Yandi alive.
And whether you can quickly adapt to the water and soil of Yandi after arriving at Yandi is a big problem.
Maybe it's because of the water and soil adaptation.
Perhaps due to various reasons such as lack of manpower.
In the past, among the war horses purchased from outside the Yan Land.
Most of them take a long, long time.
in order to be able to carry out simple battle formation training.
And this is also where Xu Yi has always had a headache.
More than ten years later.
Li Shixin frowned and looked up at Xu Yi.
"Dare to ask the prince, where did the 20,000 war horses come from today?"
Li Shixin lowered his voice and asked with an extremely solemn face.
"Dai and Liao each have 10,000 horses."
Xu Yi replied truthfully.
If you talk about the familiarity with war horses, as well as the experience of raising war horses on a large scale.
I'm afraid that ten Ma political officials will be difficult to compare to one Li Shixin.
It is precisely because of this that whenever Li Shixin asks, Xu Yi will never hide it in the slightest.
"Dare to ask the prince, how much horse breeding land is there in Wang Daying now."
"What is the size of each horse farm, how many horseherdsmen, herdsmen, and veterinarians are there." ….
Li Shixin paused slightly, and then asked softly again.
"There is a large horse breeding ground in the upper valley, with 8,000 war horses, 100 horse herders, 400 herdsmen, and 40 veterinarians."
"Two small horse farms, 4,000 horses, 40 horses, 200 herdsmen, and 20 veterinarians."
"There are two medium-sized horse breeding sites in Yuyang, with a total of 8,000 war horses, 100 horse herders, 400 herdsmen, and 40 veterinarians."
"A small horse breeding field, 2,000 war horses, 20 horse herders, 100 herdsmen, and 10 veterinarians."
"The rest of the war horses are all raised in the king's camp for the daily training of the soldiers."
"These horses are replaced every other month."
Xu Yi replied in a low voice with an extremely serious face.
The words fell.
Li Shixin immediately locked on
frowned, lost in thought.
A moment later.
Li Shixin looked up at Xu Yi again, and asked with a solemn face, "Is the prince credible?"
"If you don't believe in Pastor Li, how can you answer all your questions, and no matter how big or small?"
Xu Yi chuckled lightly when he heard this, and then his complexion returned to full of seriousness, and asked in a deep voice.
"When the last general traveled all over the Yan Land, he stayed in Nuqi City for more than a month."
"Nowadays, the abundance of water and grass in the depths of Nuqi City is not inferior to the first-class pastures in the Western Regions and Mobei."
"And there are a large number of herbs growing in Nuqi City today, which are all first-class and advantageous to both people and horses."
"If this place were to be used as a breeding ground for horses, the horses would be exceptionally strong and not easily stained. Plague."
Li Shixin paused slightly when he heard this, and then slowly spoke with a look of embarrassment on his face.
'Nu Qi Cheng? ,
Xu Yi's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this.
That Nu Qi City is located in the northernmost part of Shanggu County.
Backed by the Yanshan Mountain Range, it is only more than 100 miles away from the Yan Great Wall.
It is about 500 miles away from the county seat of Fuyang City.
Since ancient times, this castle has been one of the three major castles of Ueya-gun.
It is second only to the county seat of Fuyang City and the Juyong City backed by Juyong Pass.
It's a pity.
Nuqi City, a majestic city that has stood in Yandi for hundreds of years.
In the end, it was completely destroyed in the war more than 50 years ago.
Since then, Nuqi City has been completely reduced to ruins, remaining in Shanggu County.
There were also people in the successive county guards of Shanggu County who wanted to make Nuqi Castle, one of the three major cities in Shanggu County, stand on the land of Shanggu County again.
But at first, the cost of rebuilding a city is too great.
Second, Nuqicheng is too close to the Yan Great Wall, and once the Huns step through the northern section of the Yan Great Wall again, Nuqicheng will once again fall into an embarrassing situation without a buffer.
Thirdly, even if a certain county guard overcomes all difficulties and makes Nuqi City reappear on the land of Shanggu County, there are no extra people in Yandi to fill Nuqi City.
For a variety of reasons.
So.
More than fifty years have passed.
Today's Nuqi City has long been overgrown with all kinds of weeds on the periphery, and the ruins inside are even more barren.
If the female Qicheng is really as Li Shixin said.
If Xu Yi really wants to treat Nu Qicheng as the king's big nutrition horse.
Then it will have to pay a very big price.
The first thing to bear the brunt of is to rebuild a majestic city in the ruins of Nuqi City.
If there is no male city apart.
Once the Huns crossed the northern section of the Yan Great Wall again.
Then it is equivalent to giving up tens of thousands of war horses to others.
That's what I think about.
Xu Yi sat down, and then slowly looked up at Li Shixin, who was sitting upright beside him.
"In Inspector Li's opinion, how many war horses can Nu Qicheng raise."
Xu Yi looked at Li Shixin's eyes with deep eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"Go back to the prince."
"In the opinion of the last general, if there is no strong city to protect it, Nuqi City can raise 50,000 war horses at most."
"If there are too many, once something happens, it will be extremely difficult to evacuate quickly."
"But if there is a strong city to protect it, thousands of soldiers to defend it, and a large number of city defense equipment."
"Then Nu Qicheng can raise at least 150,000 war horses, at most 200,000 war horses."
"If there are more, it may be difficult to keep the war horse strong."
Li Shixin did not hesitate at all when he heard this, and replied directly.
'At least 150,000 war horses can be raised, and at least 200,000 war horses can be raised. ,
Xu Yi's eyelids drooped when he heard this, and he muttered in his heart.
After more than 100 breaths.
Xu Yi slowly raised his eyelids, and said with an extremely serious expression: "This matter will definitely be seriously considered, and I will definitely inform you as soon as possible
Pastor Lee."
Li Shixin knew that this matter was by no means a trivial matter, and no one could make a decision in a short time.
It's not about trusting or not.
Li Shixin calmed down for a moment, then bowed his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order."
Iced tea is always there
