After separating from Liu Muzhi, Liu Yu was in a good mood. For the first time in so many years, he was more knowledgeable than Liu Muzhi, who had thousands of books in his belly. This made him a little unbelievable. He With a relaxed smile on his face and whistling, he walked to the gate of the Tiger Army's camp.
Suddenly, the smell of livestock, with a fishy smell, penetrated into his nose. Since joining the army, he had smelled a lot of men's sweat and feet, but this smell of horses was really... It was rare. If he hadn't practiced horses with Murong Nan for a few times, he would have almost forgotten the smell of horses.
Looking around, he could see hundreds of war horses being led by some Xianbei soldiers who looked obviously different from the Han people. They walked into the camp through a side door. He still knew a few of them, but they were not the ones who had been practicing. Those Xianbei knights who have fought against him?
Liu Yu's eyes widened and he thought to himself, hadn't these Xianbei people been sent away long ago? Why did they suddenly appear again? Could it be...
His mind was still running when he heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Jinnu, is it weird? Hehe."
Liu Yu's expression changed, and he turned his head, only to see Murong Nan looking at him with a half-smile, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons. This person was so unsmiling that Liu Yu always wondered if he had facial paralysis. This guy actually smiled like this. This was the first time Liu Yu saw him.
Liu Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why are your men back again? And they entered the Tiger Army's camp?"
Murong Nan put away his smile and shook his head: "Liu Yu, I thought you would be happy about this. The Tiger Army has strengthened its cavalry. Isn't it a good thing for you?"
Liu Yu looked at Murong Nan and sighed: "Didn't Marshal Xuan dismiss all your men and send them back to the north to avoid suspicion? Why are you back?"
Murong Nan smiled and said: "Originally, I let him go, but now there is a war in Huaibei. It is a war zone within a radius of several hundred miles. Unlike normal times where we can travel freely, my men cannot come in and out as freely as when they came. I have no choice but to turn back. Originally, Marshal Xuan asked them to leave, mainly because he didn’t want to give Huan Xuan any excuses, but now, hey, Huan Xuan is gone anyway, so naturally there is no need for them anymore.”
At this point, Murong Nan pointed at the horses: "You southerners are not good at riding. Of the two thousand horses brought back last time, almost no one can ride them except some nephews and nephews of generals. Now the war is for victory. Don’t worry about anything else, so the best equipment should be given to the best people to use. Besides my men, who else is more suitable?”
Liu Yu looked at these Xianbei people who were dressed in Beifu army uniforms and even had their hair combed in Han style, and sighed: "Even if you wear Han clothes, you still look like Xianbei, just from the way you walk, You’ll know about the splayed legs.”
At this point, Liu Yu glanced at Murong Nan's legs and frowned: "You, on the other hand, are very strange. Your riding skills are so good, why are your legs so straight and not straight at all?"
Murong Nan smiled and waved his hand: "You might as well ask why they don't know Chinese, but I can. Let me tell you, I am different from these ordinary people. I have been trained as the best talent since I was born. , my third brother has been teaching me to learn Chinese, to walk like a Han, and even taught me the idiom Handan to learn to walk. I didn’t want to be like that Yan country person who couldn’t walk in the end and crawled back to the motherland, so I practiced it every two days. An hour of walking and standing straightened my legs."
Liu Yu curled his lips and looked at this Xianbei man again: "You are so powerful. No wonder you are just like ordinary Han people, except for this face."
Murong Nan smiled and touched his face: "This is the birth of my parents, and I can't change it. However, I don't look like a Han, so I can learn everything about the Han. Don't you think I'm pretty good now? Liu Yu , haven’t you also learned our riding skills and cavalry tactics?”
Liu Yu nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that we still have too few horses to train soldiers on a large scale for cavalry combat. If we had a hundred thousand cavalry, it would be easy to conquer the Qin Dynasty in the Northern Expedition and regain the lost territory." .”
Murong Nan shook his head: "There are only 100,000 cavalry, which is not enough to sweep through. Let's solve the matter at hand first. Okay, I won't say more. This time, our thousand cavalry, as a special force, will be assigned to your Tiger Force. As the vanguard of the entire army, Xuan Shuai's intelligence showed that the enemy troops were all in trouble. Peng Chao's troops had already moved south, and they had divided their forces. Ji Hard was eager to take credit, so he sent cavalry general Du Yan to lead 5,000 cavalry, day and night. Benxing, we are now less than 200 miles away from Guangling."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "Two hundred miles? It came so fast. But now, their cavalry is completely out of touch with the infantry brigade?"
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Exactly, it is hard to repeat the example of Mao Dang's surprise attack on Mao Anzhi a few months ago. He defeated our Beifu Army Camp in Guangling City in one battle. If he cannot succeed, he will retreat slightly and wait. The follow-up infantry will arrive for a decisive battle. They have a big appetite and want to drink up the Yangtze River in one battle. But this just gives us an opportunity."
Liu Yu nodded: "We have cavalry but no steps. If we fail to achieve surprise, the consequences will be serious. Moreover, our Beifu soldiers are not General Mao's bodyguards. We already have scouts all over the Guangling area, and they cannot succeed in a sneak attack." Yes. This time Marshal Xuan assigned the cavalry to the tiger troops, does he want us to set out and defeat this cavalry?"
Xie Xuan's voice sounded from the direction of the camp gate behind Liu Yu: "What I want is not to defeat, but to annihilate!"
Liu Yu and Murong Nan turned around at the same time, and saw Xie Xuan, wearing a general's robe and armor, slowly approaching, followed by Liu Laozhi and more than ten capable guards. Liu Yu quickly gave a military salute: "See you?" Xuan Shuai!"
Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Well, you are a slave. Today, the commander comes to see you and wants to discuss the military plan. It would be better for you to grab your brothers and run to my commander's house. Why, you still expect me to invite you again today." Have you had a good meal?"
Liu Yu's face turned slightly red and he apologized: "I had a good meal yesterday. I don't want to enjoy this kind of good thing alone. I should bring my brothers to try it too, so I shamelessly bring everyone here to ask for some delicious food. It's just that ………”
Xie Xuan sighed: "I just met Yu Yue, right."
Liu Yu was stunned: "You know?"
Xie Xuan nodded: "As a coach, if you don't even know what happened in the commander's house, how can you do it? If the enemy attacks, you still won't collapse. To tell you the truth, I came out today to avoid him. , because I don’t want to make any more deals with other aristocratic families.”
