After walking out of the stage, the dusk sky began to be covered with burning red clouds, as if it was burning my chest.
Si Hu was asked to buy three bowls of rabbit meat soup, but he ended up buying eight bowls. He ate six bowls by himself, and Xu Mu and Chao Yi simply took the remaining two bowls and ate them slowly.
"Chao Yi, can the Croats withdraw from Bingzhou?"
The Night Owl Group, which infiltrated the northwest, reported in intelligence that the little crybaby was afraid that public opinion would displease him, so he sent an additional 10,000 people to guard Yanmen North Pass.
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be Sima Xiu's intention.
Chao Yi nodded, "Before I returned to Bingzhou, I already told you that if I detect a large army coming from Liangzhou, I will immediately detour from outside the pass and return to the southern border of Bingzhou. King of Shu... don't worry, my lord, the Ke people were also Hu people before. I am very familiar with the land outside the pass, and I have explored that circuitous road several times before."
Similar to Beidi and Southern Barbarians, outside of Dingzhou and Bingzhou, many small tribes of foreigners are called Hu people. They are also good at riding horses and are called Hu people and horse bandits.
"Chao Yi, how many people are there?"
"After repelling the horse bandits who wanted to take advantage of the situation, after several rounds of fighting, there were only more than 30,000 Croats left at Yanmen Beiguan." Chao Yi looked gloomy.
"As worthy of the Beiguan Wolf Clan."
"When the Croats were outside the Pass, due to their small population, they were always bullied by other Hu tribes and treated as slaves and meat soldiers. They had no choice but to migrate to the Central Plains."
In troubled times, there is no such thing as universal unity. Of course, this does not mean that all foreigners are murderers, such as plain barbarians. Furthermore, the Emperor Gaozu of the Ji Dynasty also used 50,000 elite barbarians to go out to Shu to conquer the world.
"After entering Shu, the Ke people will first arrange to go to Nanlin County. I will send civilians to help build the village. Once you have achieved military success or reclaimed the barren mountains of Nanlin, your people should be able to take root safely. "
"However, I was nomadic outside the customs before, but after I entered Shu, I needed to grow rice. Is this no problem?"
Chao Yi rarely smiled, "My lord, if the land was not barren, who would be willing to live in pursuit of water and grass?"
Xu Mu was startled.
Come to think of it, the dog-husbands over there in Beidi have wanted to take over the Central Plains for generations and have similar long-cherished wishes.
"Chao Yi, you stay in Chengdu first. I guess there will be another war in Shuzhou soon..."
Along the way, I was either fighting or on the way to fight.
Whoever has the bigger fist is the right one.
It's a pity that Shuzhou's plan to accumulate grain and cast weapons cannot proceed smoothly. There are at least eight people in the world who are afraid of his rise.
"Lord, I'm going back." Chao Yi put down the bowl and chopsticks, his voice a little anxious.
Xu Mu knew that Chao Yi was worried about the young master of Bingzhou.
The king of Bingzhou really made a big deal. The seven barrels of mutton soup he received back then were exchanged for a loyal ethnic group.
Thinking about it, he seemed to have won the pot himself. The original owner seemed to have used eight peanuts to catch Si Hu, the god of death, when he was a child.
This should be the most precious legacy left by the original owner.
Of course, if other people want to take Si Hu away now, even if they are given eight more bags of peanuts, they will probably be beaten until they go home and call their parents.
…
"Wenlong, how's it going with Xiao Xiaoyao?"
"With more than 7,000 people, we have arrived at Bailu County. The waterway we used is almost all wooden rafts. There were pursuers behind us, but they were all frightened away by Dou Tong and his warship."
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, I finally felt confident again.
During this period of time... he estimated that he had picked up the little experts, picked up the Croats, and picked up a small part of the chivalrous rebel army left by Li Zhiqiu.
Of course, these two groups are, to a large extent, like-minded people left behind because of the tricks of Liangzhou and Cangzhou.
He deserved it.
"On the Croat side, I have asked Wei Feng to take three thousand cavalry to meet them. Chang Shilang has also been notified of the roads along the border of the inner city."
Xu Mu spoke. Suddenly he remembered Tsuneshiro's previous reply. As soon as he opened it, he was scolded, scolding him for having no eggs and not daring to send troops to Muyunzhou.
Xu Mu was speechless. In ancient times, information was limited. It is estimated that in a few days, Chang Silang will understand that Muyun Prefecture has long been controlled by the Cangzhou royal family.
I want to fight, but I have to choose the right time.
From Jia Zhou's burning eyes, Xu Mu also understood. Once Li Zhiqiu died, this was also an opportunity for Shuzhou.
An opportunity to attack Muyun State.
"If the Xia'er Rebel Army and the Crops' Wolf Clan Army are added together, Shuzhou will have at least 10,000 more warriors."
These ten thousand people are not new recruits. It's okay for Xia'er, after all, they were still a bunch of rebels before, but after fighting for more than half a year, they have already transformed.
The Danke people are the real elites of Beiguan. Thousands of people can block the horse bandits outside the pass and dare not make any mistakes.
"The Ke tribe were originally Hu people. The Hu people are good at horses and know how to ride and shoot. If they can learn the military formations of the Central Plains, they will definitely be a weapon for Shuzhou."
"Wait." Xu Mu's face was startled.
From Jia Zhou's words, Xu Mu suddenly understood something.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
"Wen Long said before that riding and shooting..."
"Lord, this is normal. Qiang people are also good at riding and shooting."
At that time, King Yu had great difficulty in gathering more than 7,000 Qiang horses, including their foals. Xu Mu was not embarrassed and just let him go, letting Yu Dangwang, who was gnashing his teeth with hatred, go and fight the Liangzhou dogs.
However, the Qiang people's kind of riding and shooting was not what Xu Mu wanted. The horse must be slowed down or stopped before the bow can be fired.
It is not even as good as Beidi. Although the Beidi people use pony bows, they still shoot while galloping.
From Yuguan to Shu, the terrain is flat if not far away. One day, there will definitely be a cavalry battle. Heavy cavalry is certainly scary, but it requires too many resources. With the current situation in Shuzhou, people are constantly watching, and it is impossible to save them.
But if you use the Shooting Qingqi, this seems to be quite good.
"What are you thinking about, my lord?"
"Wen Long, I want to form a light cavalry battalion. As for the name, I haven't decided yet."
"Qingqi battalion? The ones in Liangzhou are very good at horses. It's better to have a mixed brigade of infantry and cavalry, with the cavalry as the two wings for a surprise attack."
There is no problem with Jia Zhou's statement. When facing Liangqi's frontal charge, the spears, shields and horses blocked each other, and then the cavalry separated into two wings and counterattacked in time when the enemy's offensive spirit weakened.
But Xu Mu no longer believes in a well-behaved battlefield.
A guerrilla flying light cavalry, which can penetrate the battlefield with mobility, assist in attacking or penetrate the rear, it is a first-class weapon.
Regarding Chao Yi, the young general of the wolf tribe, he really got a great treasure unintentionally.
