In Anle City, Chai Shao, the governor of Youzhou, looked at the military report in his hand and was ecstatic, war horses, war horses, all war horses...... After this toss, the war horses earned by Youzhou can almost catch up with the entire number of Datang war horses.

Earned more than 20,000 from the Turks, the Khitan gave almost 10,000, just rescued the Khitan and captured a few thousand, the Khitan newcomer patriarch He Mohui gave another batch, adding up to almost 40,000 war horses, Lao Tzu has been in charge of Youzhou for so many years, when has he been so rich?

"With 40,000 cavalry and sufficient food and grass, Lao Tzu really wants to directly enter the Turkic Golden Horde." Chai Shao looked forward to it.

Xiao Rui looked at the military report but frowned, "It's not that the infantry is called cavalry when they ride on horses, a cavalry team that can fight must be trained and run-in." The quality of Youzhou's soldiers is average, and most of them are infantry. These people were originally strong laborers of the cultivated land, where did they ride war horses? It would take you a while for a group of farmers to learn to ride horses, let alone cavalry. ”

"In addition, although Youzhou made a small fortune, it couldn't afford to raise tens of thousands of cavalry. Therefore, we need to send 20,000 war horses to Chang'an, only the imperial court has such a large financial resource to support an elite iron horseman. ”

Chai Shao's face instantly fell, and he scolded with a smile: "You kid can't make me happy for a while?" Pure dejecting words. Isn't that what makes money with you? You are responsible for making money, and I am responsible for training, and in the future, we will join forces to give Jieli a cold drink......"

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "That's why I asked you to send 20,000 war horses, not all of them." For the remaining 18,000 war horses, you take 10,000 to Youzhou for training. Leave 8,000 to garrison the city of peace, and I will select 5,000 special training from them,"

Chai Shao was surprised: "Boy, do you still know how to train soldiers?" ”

Xiao Rui thought about it seriously for a while, nodded and said, "If there is enough money and food, I can train an invincible infantry." I wasn't sure about the cavalry, so I picked 5,000 people to try. ”

Chai Shao's eyes lit up, and he patted Xiao Rui's shoulder and encouraged: "Good boy! Yours is the real thing. Give you 5,000 elites, war horses, soldiers, and choose from the Youzhou soldiers. ”

"Governor, Changshi, the gift of the Ogamo Society has arrived." Su Lie couldn't hold back the joy on his face anymore.

"Oh? Rookie Khitan patriarch? Didn't he just give us a few thousand horses? How to give gifts? Is it asking us to do something? Chai Shao asked curiously.

Xiao Rui led Chai Shao to see, "Uncle, this is different from the predecessor Dahe Duluo, Dahe Mo will be a pro-Tang faction. Those thousands of war horses were the reward for our troops to rescue the Khitan. Today, this gift is in his own name. ”

Chai Shao smiled: "Seeing that Su Lie's face is about to burst into laughter, it must be a good thing." ”

Su Lie explained in a low voice: "The Grand Governor, it's a war horse. ”

"War horses? The last thing Lao Tzu lacks now is war horses, and he has almost 40,000 in his hands......"

"It's not an ordinary war horse, it's a BMW!"

Bmw? Not unusual! Now under the seat of the general of Youzhou, whose mount is not a BMW? Although BMW is good, but the number is scarce, and it can't form a large army, it's okay to add color, and its utility is not great.

Xiao Rui explained with a smile: "Uncle, the former Khitan leader Dahe Duluo has a secret sweat and blood BMW tribe in captivity, the wild purebred kind. The Turks didn't know about it. The newcomer patriarch Agamo will be very good at being a man, and he sent the group of more than 100 horses. Including the King of Horses! ”

What???

Chai Shao was extremely surprised, his mouth opened into a walnut shape, "Let's go, let's take a look, this is a purebred BMW group, with this, doesn't it mean that there will be a steady stream of sweat and blood BMW in the future?" ”

After some review, Chai Shao came back clutching his chest. Mouthful, Ma Zheng? Ma Zheng! From now on, Datang doesn't have to engage in horse politics anymore!

"This batch of horses must be sent to Chang'an as soon as possible, if such a treasure is known to the Turks, it is possible to send troops to rob it." Chai Shao admonished.

A sentence reminded Xiao Rui, only to see him pat his head, stomp his foot and say, "I figured it out, no wonder I always felt that something was missing." Let's go......"

Chai Shao and Su Lie were very puzzled, what happened?

In the war room, Xiao Rui pointed to the map and said: "This is our Anle City, this is Tuli, these Turkic royal courts." How long does it take to send troops from Jieli Wangting to attack Youzhou? ”

Chai Shao muttered: "Although the Turks are all cavalry, but people eat horses along the way, and it is not easy for the army to be dispatched, and it will take half a month at the earliest. How? Do you judge that there is a war? It's impossible, even if the Turks do something to the Tang Dynasty, they will go to Chang'an, and there is no oil and water in Youzhou, so they ...... Broken! ”

Chai Shao also figured it out, in the past, Youzhou was out of oil and water, but now it's different, 40,000 war horses, 40,000! If all these 40,000 war horses were armed into elite cavalry by the Tang Dynasty, it would be a disaster for the Turks, and Jieli would definitely not tolerate it.

"I'll go back to Youzhou to recruit troops! Gather an army of 50,000, even if all of them are killed in battle, we must ensure that all 40,000 war horses are sent to Chang'an. Chai Shao left in a hurry.

How did it become 40,000?

That's right, if Jieli leads troops to grab these war horses, then there is no need to leave 18,000 in Youzhou, without waiting for you to train the cavalry, the Jieli army will come, and if you can't stand it then, wouldn't 18,000 be given to the Turks? Rather than this, it is better to send them all to Chang'an.

Chai Shao left, but Xiao Rui didn't say anything, and Su Lie said anxiously: "Changshi, we can't just do it and wait, right?" Or do you want to start a conscription, like the last time you dug a ditch? Maybe you can stop the army of Jieli. ”

Xiao Rui sighed and said: "Tuli didn't dare to fight, because he had few soldiers and horses, 30,000 and 20,000, and the ditch could block it." But if Jieli comes, let's talk less about 100,000. Back then, he was able to kill 200,000 people under Chang'an City, and Youzhou City? 100,000 is enough! We are still too weak in the face of absolute power. ”

Su Lie punched the map and said hatefully: "If you give me three months and let me train a cavalry of 10,000 people, how can I allow the Turks to be presumptuous?" Zhente Niang is aggrieved! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Rui was thoughtful and asked in a deep voice: "General Su, is there any quick way to train soldiers?" ”

Su Lie shook his head, "How can there be a quick training process?" No matter how fast it is, it is impossible to train an elite cavalry in half a month. As the Metropolitan Governor said, this battle can only be fought by people. 100,000 troops, now we are fast to inform Chang'an of the rescue, it is too late. ”

Xiao Rui said hatefully: "Yes! Blame me for hesitating with the Metropolitan Governor for a while, I should have decisively sent a military report when I captured Qi Bi He Li. It has been delayed until now that I am ready to report to Chang'an. If Chang'an knew about our results, there would be countless capable people in the DPRK and China, and I think there would be people who could anticipate today. Maybe there is a possibility of encircling Wei to save Zhao. ”

After thinking for a while, Su Lie opened his mouth and said: "Changshi, 40,000 war horses were sent to Chang'an, and this matter cannot be lost. Take those boys and escort them yourself. ”

What do you mean? The big war is coming, let me Xiao Rui be a deserter?

How could Su Lie mean that? He cherishes talents, and Xiao Rui's importance to Datang is no less than these 40,000 war horses.

Xiao Rui waved his hand to interrupt Su Lie's persuasion, "Don't say it again, just arrange for Fang Yiai, Wei Chi Baoqing and Chai Zhewei to transport the war horses." Lao Tzu is the governor of Youzhou, and Jieli is a Turkic khan. wants to move my Youzhou, the master broke his teeth! ”

Qin Huaidao and others rushed over when they heard the news, and Cheng Huaimo also comforted: "Don't worry, Brother Xiao, we know about the horse robbery, I said it in my family letter, and my father must have received it a long time ago." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I also write it in my family book." The Wei Chi brothers said in unison.

Fang Er raised his hand weakly, and I also wrote.

Xiao Rui became interested, "Oh? Is there such a thing? How do you guys write that? ”

"Just last time we captured 10,000 cavalry with 10,000 infantry, it's as written. This time it was just written, and I didn't have time to send someone away. ”

Burst...... It's over, you write like that, who will believe it? Otherwise, why don't you think the Metropolitan Governor and I send an army back?

Forget it, I'll arrange the retreat.
