Chapter 51: Everybody's Go!
The so-called Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, etc., are the mounts that Huang Yueying wants to specially cultivate, but because of the poor performance of the No. 1 test product White Tiger, her follow-up plan has not been implemented.
This is an opportunity to get this plan back on track.
Liu Xuan didn't care, if he could really have some special mounts, it would be a good thing for his generals.
After all, for now, the ones who really have good mounts are Lu Bu - Red Rabbit Horse, and Cao Cao - Paw Huang Feidian.
In addition, the tiger that Zhang Fei raised at the beginning was also cultivated into a black tiger, and his name was directly called Black Tiger, but this guy and his sibling sister (sister) have a virtue, and even surpass it.
Not only has it become a veritable pet like a domestic cat, but it is even extremely timid, Liu Xuan once saw this thing playing with chickens in his own house, but the old hen was chased and cornered to turn around and fight with Ya, but it was this sturdy mess guy who was pecked by the old hen and ran away.
This scene, everyone saw that it was interesting, but Zhang Fei was unhappy, because his black tiger was so uncompetitive, and as a result, the poor black tiger was punished to stand for three hours - the black tiger and the white tiger are now quite spiritual and can understand human speech, but they can't speak.
In other words, Zhang Fei raised this tiger when he wanted to train it to be a mount, because he felt that riding a tiger on the battlefield was an extremely awesome thing, and even when he encountered a timid enemy, he didn't have to use his hands, and he could scare people to death by relying on this tiger under his crotch.
It is said that Zhang Fei's black tiger has been bullied by the family's native dog for many years......
The white tiger is much happier in comparison, although it is usually the same as a domestic cat, but it is also divided into people, at least I didn't see that the animal dared to bully it and there was a good end.
It's just that...... Obviously born as compatriots, why are these two guys so different in temper?
Liu Xuan looked at the squinting and comfortable look, and the white tiger who let Diao Chan comb his hair was also quite curious. Besides. If the white tiger wants to go to the battlefield, it is estimated that Diao Chan will also go, so Diao Chan is always not good to go to the battlefield in a long skirt, right?
He is not worried about this problem, anyway, with Huang Yueying here, Diao Chan is not afraid of not having the right clothes to wear, even if it is armor, there is no problem.
As for defensiveness, the peony flower that Diao Chan often wore was a defensive magic weapon given by Liu Xuan back then, even if his cultivation was not high back then. It's crude, but it's enough for now.
What's more, with the improvement of Diao Chan's own cultivation, she herself also knows that she can refine this magic weapon again, which means that now Diao Chan doesn't have to worry about her own defense at all.
In fact, this is also true. Huang Yueying quickly prepared a set of 'battle robes' for Diao Chan, but this set of clothes is not so much a battle robe, but it really can't be seen that it is used to wear it when fighting.
It's not that it's pure clothing, not even armor, but no matter how you look at it, this armor only has a decorative effect, and you can't see how much protection there is - knees, calves, shoulders, chest, forearms, basically a few places have metal, and the rest of the parts are fabric.
"Don't you underestimate me, don't you say that Sister Mink already has a talisman weapon, even if this armor looks inferior to the Bronze Saint Seiya, it is also unique......"
Huang Yueying casually took out a fruit knife. flew directly towards Diao Chan, and Diao Chan didn't dodge, watching the fruit knife fly towards his heart, and then at the moment when he was about to stab, it suddenly bounced to the side as if it had hit something.
"Oh?" Liu Xuan can see the fame now: "Defensive array?"..., the only few pieces of metal armor are not used to protect, but to form a magic circle, and the most subtle thing is that this magic circle is a pure accessory, and the key to this magic circle is the peony flower ornament that Diao Chan wears from time to time. In other words, without this ornament, simply wearing armor is useless, and it really becomes an ornament.
"At the same time, there is a space at the wrist where the weapon can be stored, and Sister Mink can put the pair of twin hammers in it. As for the nine-section whip, it can still be wrapped around the waist. ”
Regarding the technology of storage magic weapons, Huang Yueying has only just begun to conduct research, and the current results are not too much. Only a few things can be stored, and many types of items cannot be stored either.
Compared with Liu Xuan's already forming technology in his head, Huang Yueying can only be regarded as a beginner. However, she was not going to ask for this knowledge from Liu Xuan, but wanted to use her own ability to study all these things, only in this way could she be regarded as truly mastering.
Leaving Diao Chan, Liu Xuan walked around again. Although he didn't have much to do during this time, since he decided to use troops against the Xiongnu, it was a bit unreasonable not to take a look at this army.
Therefore, Liu Xuan has been inspecting the various garrisons of the forbidden army during this time to observe the current situation of the forbidden army. At the same time, it also inspected the reserves of ordnance, the situation of war horses, and so on.
It can be said that even if the court has not proposed the use of troops abroad, and no one has said these things, it is not difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts from Liu Xuan's various actions.
Although many generals don't know who they are going to fight this time, as long as they fight, it is a good thing for them, because only by fighting can the generals make contributions. In times of peace, how can they show their ability?
"I don't know who His Majesty is going to hit this time?"
In private, the generals will also talk about these topics when they meet, and some people who have a relationship with Cao Cao and others will also run to inquire from time to time, because everyone knows that Cao Cao and Lu Bu are the most trusted generals of the Son of Heaven, and if they really want to use troops abroad, these two will definitely know.
In fact, the two of them did know, and they didn't hide it when they encountered the inquiry, and directly said the goal this time.
"Huns!"
This news reached the ears of all the generals of the Luoyang Forbidden Army almost a day, and even many people knew that the Han was not only going to attack the Xiongnu this time, but also to completely solve the northern threat that had plagued the Han people for hundreds of years - in other words, the Han was going to exterminate the Xiongnu this time!
"I heard that I was going to fight the Huns, and now many people are very excited!"
Liu Xuan looked at the few people in front of him and found that they were all very excited, which showed how much the Xiongnu were valued in the eyes of the Han generals.
Originally, it was a war that seemed very casual to Liu Xuan, but it turned out to be a little deviated from the plan because the other party was a Xiongnu.
"In this way, it seems that it will not work to send a few people to clean up the Huns!"
Look at the few of you here.
Zong Zhengqing, Liu Bei;
Wei General Lu Bu;
Cao Cao, general of the expedition to the east;
Pingdong general Zhang Liao;
Pingnan General Cao Ren;
Pingxi General Guan Yu;
Pingbei General Gongsun Zhan;
Li Su of the Central Protector;
It can be said that all the high-ranking generals of the Han Dynasty are here, and although Liu Bei is not a military general, he is a Zongzheng with a special identity, and he himself is also a person who can fight well, so it is not surprising that he is sitting here this time.
In addition, Tai Lieutenant Ma Teng and Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, are all here.
What everyone is talking about is this war against the Xiongnu.
After all, this is a war to destroy the Huns, no matter who is the commander, he will get great merit and prestige, even Liu Bei can't help it, and wants to propose to lead troops to participate in this battle of the Northern Expedition. ..., Liu Xuan looked at everyone's performance, and finally simply waved his hand.
"Forget it, don't fight, this time I will conquer the Huns, and all the generals will leave some people who need to be guarded, and bring them all!"
Hearing this, of course everyone was happy, no matter what, this northern expedition to the Xiongnu is a major event, and it is natural for the emperor to personally conquer, they can go out with the army, and they will naturally get a lot of benefits, even if it is less.
As for Liu Xuan's thoughts, he felt that he had to move troops anyway, so he simply let everyone move their muscles and bones, and the province would not be suitable for fighting for a long time.
After all, the 'Gentle Township is a Hero's Tomb' is not just about it, the Han Dynasty has lived so peacefully over the years, although the strength of these generals has been improving, but whether they have really turned cultivation into strength, no one can say.
"Let's warm everyone up!"
After all, after destroying the Huns, the next thing is the Northern Wei Dynasty, so it's good to take this opportunity to see the situation of the generals.
Anyway, there are a lot of tests to be done in this battle, and they are not bad.
It's just that although it was decided to personally conquer the Xiongnu and bring all the big guys with them, after all, some people had to be left, and who left became a new problem.
Cao Cao took the initiative to speak at this time: "Luoyang is an important place for the capital division, you must not be cautious, and the ministers are willing to stay!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at Cao Cao, although they were a little surprised, but they quickly understood that the fight against the Huns was obviously just foreplay, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was the main enemy of the Han Dynasty at present, and Cao Cao had a chance to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty!
However, the Northern Wei Dynasty or something, the time is still early, at least in the short term, there will be no war against the Northern Wei Dynasty.
So it's a little credit first, and everyone is still very happy that Cao Cao took the initiative to stay behind and gave them the opportunity to go out with the army.
"Since Meng De is willing to stay, then the Tiger Ben Army will also leave Meng De in case of emergency!"
Under normal circumstances, if Liu Xuan goes on an expedition, the four elite troops will definitely be brought with him, but considering that Cao Cao's command of the capital division is not simply to defend Luoyang, but to deal with various situations that may occur, this is aimed at the entire Han Dynasty. Therefore, a strong enough force is needed to control the town, and the Tiger Army is undoubtedly the most suitable, because it can cope with most situations.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao then ordered some more people, none of whom were important generals, and the only names that caught Liu Xuan's attention were Deng Ai and Xiahou Ba, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.
He also knew the intention of the Son of Heaven to take everyone on the expedition this time, so he left most of the outstanding generals to Liu Xuan, so that the Son of Heaven could observe nearby.
