At the same time, Chen Xi and his party, who were marching in the cool night, without knowing it, passed by Liu Bei and his party, who were resting at a farmhouse not far away.
"What's wrong with Zhong Kang?" Liu Bei, who was reading under the moonlight, was interrupted by the power emanating from Xu Chu who suddenly opened his eyes, so he raised his head and asked curiously.
"There are more than a hundred cavalry passing by here a few hundred meters away." Xu Chu said with a frown. Marching at night is not a big deal, but more than a hundred cavalry are indeed a lot.
"It's probably because our army has something to do. It's always hot and unbearable during the day, but at night it's cool and the moon shines brightly, so it's a good time to march." Liu Bei understood after thinking about it, "Have you ever stopped?"
"No." Xu Chu also understood, so he did not go out to investigate. Otherwise, when the moonlight was sparse and he could study by moonlight, he would definitely be able to see Hua Xiong and his party with his eyesight.
"That's enough, I'm afraid I have military affairs." Liu Bei nodded and said, then picked up the book and continued to read.
Chen Xi naturally didn't know that he had passed by Liu Bei. He was still ordering Hua Xiong to rush to Donglai while the night was cool.
"Zijian, don't worry about the two of us. Just go ahead at full speed. It's better to suffer some bumps than to get none of the Lu family's craftsmen." Chen Xi said to Hua Xiong, who was a little concerned about himself and Zhuge Liang.
"Here!" Hua Xiong nodded, and then waved more than a hundred riders to form a small arrow formation. With Hua Xiong as the leader, a ball of fiery red cloud burst out, and the speed suddenly increased. Hua Xiong was a Excellent cavalry commander.
"Huh?" Liu Bei, who finally entered the reading state again, was once again disturbed by Xu Chu's surprised voice.
"What's the matter, Zhongkang?" Liu Bei asked in confusion, saying that since Xu Chu followed him, such things that were not consistent with his status as a guard rarely happened.
"Lord, I seemed to feel Zijian's aura just now." Xu Chu frowned and said, "But it passed in a flash. Maybe I felt wrong." Xu Chu became less confident as he said it, scratching his head and feeling embarrassed.
"Hahaha, Zijian is still training our cavalry based on the Xiliang cavalry model at Fenggao. How could he appear in Beihai?" Liu Bei stood up and patted Xu Chu's generous back, "Zhongkang, go and rest, you Tired too."
"My lord, Zhongkang is not tired." Xu Chu told the truth.
"Okay, let's go and have a rest. I won't read anymore and will go to rest." Liu Bei closed the book and walked towards his room, leaving Xu Chu standing in the courtyard with a puzzled look on his face, and then shook his head He shook his head and went back to his room to rest.
"This speed is really exaggerated!" Zhuge Liang was so stunned that he wanted to vomit, but he looked at the leader Hua Xiong with bright eyes, "This is also an ability, right? It seems to have increased a lot of strength and speed."
"Hahaha, this is my ability. The impact of the Xiliang cavalry I lead will be much stronger than others." Hua Xiong said without looking back after hearing Zhuge Liang's words.
"It's a pity that even in this way, it is still very difficult to step into the formation." Hua Xiong was obviously very depressed when he said this. Although the Xiliang cavalry is known as the most powerful cavalry and the best at stepping into the formation, it is a pity that it does not have a high bridge saddle and stirrups. The Xiliang cavalry are only good in terms of marching in formation, even if they are led by Hua Xiong.
"Don't worry, Zijian, this problem can actually be solved, but now is not the time. I can only seal it until we have the horse-producing land." Chen Xi was a little uncomfortable being shaken, breathing the hot air loudly He said, "When we own the horse-producing land, you will understand the true use of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. It is not possible now. Once exposed, it will be difficult for us to deal with ourselves!"
Horse iron hoofs, a thing that protects horseshoes, are not very useful in this world, but the importance of high bridge saddles and stirrups to cavalry is undeniable. At least with these two, the shock cavalry, which is known for its impact, can Only when the cavalry is truly effective and can beat the infantry one to ten can it be considered complete.
But it is a pity that these two things are too simple. It can even be said that the high bridge saddle and stirrups were not thought of by the thinking circuit of the Han Dynasty people, rather than that they could not be made. It can be said that as long as Chen Xi dares to take them out, no matter how they are kept secret, unless Kill everyone you see, otherwise all the princes from all over the world will be equipped with such things after just one expedition.
Improving the enemy's combat effectiveness is not Chen Xi's hobby. Liu Bei, who has no horse-producing land, has no need to bring out such things.
Because of this, Chen Xi had thought long ago that he would wait until Liu Bei occupied Jizhou and owned the horse-producing land before taking it out. Otherwise, Yuan Shao and the remnants of Dong Zhuo would be strengthened too much. As for now, he would rather slow down the training speed of the cavalry. We will never give others the chance to imitate.
"Then thank the military advisor in advance." Hua Xiong shouted into the wind. He had been in contact with Chen Xi for a long time, so he naturally believed that Chen Xi was not trying to make fun of him.
"You'll understand then." Chen Xi retracted his body and said loudly. He couldn't stand it anymore. With the level of bumps, it was really time to build the road.
[This road is really a problem. The problem with the cement is quite big. How to deal with the inferior cement of the Roman mortar version and the volcanic ash? Do you still need to use Sanhe soil in the end? Are you kidding me? 】 Chen Xi remembered that he had been ordering the kilns to burn lime, but so far he still had not developed shaped cement. It should be said that this technology content is somewhat high, right?
[It’s so annoying. A half-finished product is just a half-finished product. Build the road first and don’t study it anymore. Just mix lime with sand and lay bricks to pave the road! 】 Chen Xi finally made up his mind when he was knocked to the ground and about to vomit. According to his estimation, the technology of cement cannot be researched. He should use semi-finished Roman mortar, with Sanhe soil as the bottom. If the semi-finished mortar is sticky, just lay bricks directly. Sure enough, only after experiencing it personally can people understand the importance of things.
"Kong Ming, what do you think we still lack in Taishan Qingzhou? Of course, there is no need to talk about what we are doing now. Talking about other things can also divert our attention, and maybe we won't feel the bumps." Chen Xi was shaken to death. asked, he really just wanted to divert his attention.
"The biggest problem is that official positions are not clear." Zhuge Liang never thought of using this method to divert attention and said directly to the point.
"It goes without saying that Duke Xuande became the General of Zhendong. After he was recognized by the clan, he originally said that he would open a government office to accurately divide personal official duties. However, troubles happened one after another, and there was never a good time. However, this time After the Second Yellow Turban, Xuande Gong will probably be able to free up his hands to open a government office." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, this matter has been talked about for a long time.
Speaking of which, Lu Su had noticed the issue of official positions and positions a long time ago, but did not raise it. In addition to waiting for Liu Bei to open the government and build a government office, this was also part of the reason why Chen Xi often assigned tasks across responsibilities. (To be continued.)
