Sima Yi, who was quietly wiping her nose, didn't understand why she suddenly said this, and watched her retreat into the room in a daze, and closed the door again.

"Business?" Sima Yi asked.

"Fighting!" She said, "Zhang Xiu's soldiers are going to stop the 300 horse armored cavalry of Gao Gan, shall we also use their heads to stop them when the time comes!" ”

Sima Yi is a spirit! He kept his eyes open and stared at her for a long time!

The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and his waist collapsed again.

"I am only a shallow learner," he whispered, "and I can't help the general in the matter of horse warfare." ”

"It's fine," she reassured, "and you can't help much. ”

Sima Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head again.

There was a strange light in his eyes, "But there are always some ways to help the general." ”

Chapter 501

She looked Sima Yi up and down, left and right.

Unlike her, who hangs her at home and goes out, Sima Yi often lies flat in her own home, but as long as she appears in front of her, she is still a very standard image of a young scholar, for example, the small crown is meticulously tied, for example, the placket is also meticulously tied, for example, the neckline is very white, and I don't know how much subsidies and luggage his grandfather and father gave him, and it looks like a dowry.

…… The analogy was a little wrong, and as soon as she thought about it, she "poofed" and laughed.

Sima Yi seemed to be wrong, and looked at her very dissatisfied, "The general is underestimated!" ”

"No, no," she reassured him, "you're going to have a great future!" ”

Da Izumi was not comforted, but sat upright and dragged the topic back again, cough.

Xiao Er and Xiao Wu changed into a pot of hot tea, and the ethereal white air was ethereal in the winter night.

Behind this foggy heat, Sima Yi spoke:

"Yuan Shao goes south and will have a decisive battle with our army, can the general defeat Yuan Shao?"

“…… It's a little difficult," she said, "but we can still be sure that we will work hard to repel Yuan Shao." ”

"Can you break Yuan Shao and recover Hebei in one go?"

She thought for a moment and shook her head honestly, "No. ”

"Why?"

The reason for this is a bit complicated, in a word, Hebei is too big.

Yuan Shao launched such a huge army, this is not terrible, when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Incident occurred, it was also a hundred and twenty thousand people. But after the Yellow Turban Uprising, they did not have their own stable rear, their rear was full of all kinds of powerful and family, and those scholars also held the position of magistrates, and after the imperial court ordered all localities to recruit soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turbans, these magistrates quickly became princes.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand" such a proud struggle, in the end, only fulfilled these dissenting scholars.

And Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops is completely different, he has an extremely stable rear, those warriors are extremely loyal, they may have the habit of leaning against each other, and they may fight each other because of which heir they support, but they always support Yuan Shao's rule, just as Yuan Shao generously delegated power to them.

Lu Hangyu was skeptical about how the Qianshou in the territory of Hebei was living, and judging from the attitude of the Jizhou army towards the people, the people at the bottom probably couldn't enjoy the sunshine and rain of this lord - but it was also difficult for them to rebel.

They were taken away by the officials and came to serve on the south bank of the Yellow River, and they had wives and children in Hebei, and although they lived a difficult life, they were not affected by the war.

This kind of condescending favor may well have been passed on to the local scholars as a heavenly grace - you can't even say that the scholars are wrong! Because in terms of the scene of the people being displaced and the dead being separated with her own eyes in the past ten years, it is far more than what she saw in the low thatched house outside Luoyang City, and she cowardly wanted to "dedicate" herself to her, just to beg her to give two more poor people who collected pig money.

"War" is indeed a frightening thing.

Because of the fear of war, the people of Hebei should continue to obey their lord under the premise of enduring the oppression of the powerful family, which is a completely normal and reasonable inference.

The lowest level of the common people, the middle officials and scholars, the soldiers directly involved in the battle, and the top military generals and civilian officials, their positions were unified in the face of this war, and the whole of Hebei became a war machine.

She can find a way to surprise the army, win Yuan Shao one game, and then another, until she drives him back to Jizhou, but it is better to say that it is advisable to chase the poor and drive straight into the four states...... She did think it wasn't easy.

There are various families in the south of Yanzhou who come to show goodwill to Liu Bei, but north of the Yellow River, only Xun Chen made a vague overture.

…… used the method of stuffing a group of Xun Yu's little babies to show goodwill.

"I can only make sure that I win the war now." She said the last.

Sima Yi was not surprised at all, "If the generals think like this, what do those villains at both ends of the snake and mouse think?" ”

“…… Villain? ”

He nodded.

"I saw Liu Yan go to find Liu Xun, his words were so affectionate, and he had some doubts about the general in his words——"

She suddenly stretched out a hand, "Wait a minute, how did you see that?" ”

"I'm paying attention."

"Why didn't I notice?"

Sima Yi replied calmly, "The general only cares about eating." ”

"Off topic." She said awkwardly.

"If it's just a matter of whether it's a matter of guilt, or if you ask Liu Zitai to stay with the lord and say a few words that are unfavorable to the general, it's still a trivial matter."

Her neck was stretched out, her mouth was slightly open, and she felt like she was looking silly and dumb now.

"What else can he do?"

Liu Yan is from the clan and an old man, but he has never taken on any major position, he doesn't fight, and he doesn't care about money, food and logistics, he seems to be just a high-level pendant of Liu Bei, and even everyone thinks that he sees himself like this!

has come to Xu Cheng, and his clothes are not the same every day! What kind of clothes should be worn with what kind of belt, what kind of accessories should be embellished, what kind of knee cover should be added, what kind of square shoes should be worn, what kind of crown should be worn, it is not the same!

He even brought a group of beautiful maidservants!

With such a thing, what kind of ability can he have, and what kind of big things can he do?

Zhang Xiu straightened his clothes.

He is from Xiliang, and he is only from a humble family, and later begged for this food with his uncle in the army, and his image became more and more in the direction of a rude warrior.

When I was with Liu Bei, I didn't feel anything, Liu Bei had a ranger side in his words and demeanor, he was bold and cheerful, and he wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

But Liu Yan came to visit, which was a little uncomfortable.

As soon as this "merry and talkative" celebrity entered the account, a sense of disobedience came.

He wore a shiny robe made of satin—the kind of clothes that Zhang Xiu thought his own women would wear during the New Year's holidays—and wore a crown and belt of the same grade to cover his knees, and a large coat with fur embedded over the straight coat.

…… That fur turned out to be white, too! Snow lined his well-maintained face like snow!

To say that during the banquet, everyone took out their new clothes at the bottom of the box, and it was nothing to dress up carefully, so Zhang Xiu didn't think he was weird at that time, but now he just came to visit his military camp outside the city, and it was actually the same!

Zhang Xiu's mind involuntarily flashed a thought: This is really from the old Liu family.

He felt that his tent was at least thirty percent new, and as soon as Liu Yan came in, he immediately lined it very old, and he could roll it up and throw it out at any time.

…… Cough.

Liu Yan didn't have any serious purpose in coming here, simply said to be greetings, but his words were very beautiful, and he first implied that he had followed the lord for many years, so the lord was busy with military affairs, and he was responsible for anything he couldn't think of and couldn't do.

So Zhang Xiu hurriedly responded.

"After so many years of working with Liu Yuanjun, this hard work is really incomparable to few people."

Liu Yan smiled smugly, "What merit do you have in the next to dare to be a general?" In today's troubled times, those who can make immortal achievements have to be heroes like generals! ”

"The general of the defeated army, what kind of hero is he called?"

The famous man in Chinese clothes touched his beard, restrained his smile, and seemed to be very concerned, "With the army of the general Xiong Hu, he can't resist the Hebei soldiers and horses?" ”

Zhang Xiu patted his arm that was still bandaged very calmly, "Speaking of laughter, with his horse armor army, our army can't stop it!" ”

“…… Ma Kaijun? ”

The Xiliang people began to talk about how troublesome the three hundred horse armored cavalry of Gao Gan were, especially after the Jizhou people lured them into the Yan, the terrain was narrow and could not be deployed under the premise that the heavy cavalry and the strong crossbow cooperated, it was simply a one-sided slaughter! Even if his Xiliang soldiers stepped forward to resist, they suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, Huang Zhong went up to take the lead, but they only rescued them!

- Even when they simply cleaned up the battlefield later, this group of Xiliang people turned over in that mountain of corpses and blood for a long time, and they couldn't get a horse armor when they wanted to turn it over!

Zhang Xiu became excited as he spoke, and the saliva flew onto Liu Yan's face, and the other party frowned slightly, and he didn't know it at all.

Therefore, it was more normal to not notice that Liu Yan didn't pay attention to what he said in the second half of the journey.

He talked like this for a long time, first talking, then complaining, until his mouth was dry, and when he picked up the cup and poured a big mouthful of water, Liu Yan slowly spoke:

"If the soldiers and horses of Hebei are really so majestic......"

He groaned for a moment.

Zhang Xiu stretched her neck to listen.

"Alas, when I first saw the general in Xiangyang, I admired the general's sincerity, so I had to cut my heart!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes widened, "There must be a clever strategy to teach me?" How do I defeat the Horse Armor Army? ”

The celebrity was choked and looked distressed.

"General! Why should you be obsessed? If Yuan's initial army is full of food, its momentum is unstoppable, and the general should also think twice for himself and leave a way back! ”

She sat down at the stall at the gate of the city, holding a loaf in her hand, and nibbled on it as she watched the carriages and horses entering, and especially at the brown legs, and pondered as she watched.

There are donkeys, mules, and horses, slender and powerful, and they are hard-working.

The peddler leaned his head over, "What are you looking at, noble?" ”

"Look at the legs," she said, "the legs of the mules and horses." ”

"A noble man wants to buy an animal? I have a brother who sells mules and horses, and if a noble man sends him, the villain will find him! The peddler immediately began to gush.

"I'm not going to buy it," she was still staring, "I'm going to cut it." ”

She turned her head and saw the vendor staring at her in a daze, and reached out to point to the knife he was carrying.

"Chop off all those legs!"

The peddler was frightened and quickly put the knife behind his back.

"Nobleman, this is teasing the villain!" He hurriedly said, "Besides, the villain, this knife, can't cut the horse's legs!" ”

She stared at the knife that cut through the cooked meat for a moment, "No, no." ”

…… In this era, heavy cavalry was very unpopular, so it did not develop a class to resist heavy cavalry, so what should I do?

"Besides, mules and horses are so expensive—"
