Chapter 340: The Secret of the Bingzhou Cavalry
Inside the Jingzhou Army Central Army’s tent.
"What does Lu Bu mean to lead several guards to Cao Jun camp late at night?" Liu Biao frowned when he received the news from the spy.
"The Lord, I'm afraid that Cao Cao was afraid of the Lord, so he wanted to win over the King of Jin. Lu Bu relied on the strength of the Bingzhou army and did not take the King of Jin seriously. I was ordered to go on a mission to Bingzhou, and I was even more criticized. The humiliation was small, but it was related to the royal face. The King of Jin was disrespectful to the Lord, and the Jingzhou army was also obvious to all." Kuai Yue said that after he went on a mission to Bingzhou, he said bad things about Bingzhou in front of Liu Biao. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely punish Bingzhou to the worst place.
Kuai Liang glanced at Kuai Yue and bowed, "Master, now the rebel thief Yuan Shu is in front of you. We should work together to defeat Yuan Shu. The Bingzhou army came from afar for the sake of great righteousness. Moreover, the Duke of Jin also followed the order of the emperor and should not act without action, otherwise it would definitely lead to the rebellion of the princes. At this moment, just as the Lord said, it should be the priority to defeat Yuan Shu together."
After inheriting the throne, Liu Biao's ambitions also expanded a lot. Calling on the princes to attack Yuan Shu was also to reflect the dignity of the Han Dynasty. According to his guess, the princes should be respectful to him. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce actually provoked in public today. Although he finally surrendered, this was like provoking the dignity of the Han Dynasty. Although Jingzhou and Jiangdong have a grudge, he is now the emperor and all the princes in the world follow.
According to Liu Biao's idea, the princes should show enough respect to the emperor, but the matter is completely different from what they imagined. The princes did not restrain themselves because of the extra Han emperor, but were all for their own interests.
"I ordered people to pay close attention to the movements of Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Sun Ce." After Liu Biao weighed the pros and cons, he also chose not to happen for the time being. Only by eradicating Yuan Shu could the majesty of his emperor spread all over the world. In the past, the princes who fought against Dong Zhuo were the most profitable was Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shao was the leader of the princes and had ordered the princes in the world. This title alone attracted many civil and military officials to surrender to him. He wanted to inherit the throne and also wanted to gain Yuan Shao's recognition. This shows the influence of the Yuan family in the world.
In Anfeng City, the civil servants and military generals under Yuan Shu were not very at ease. Although there were 60,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, the soldiers and horses of the princes were not weak. The most important thing is that there were elite cavalry in the army of the princes, which was absolutely crushing on the battlefield. Cavalry was a force that no one could underestimate on the battlefield. His command was not as elite as the first death warrior. Facing the cavalry of the princes, he could only use the bodies of the soldiers under his command to resist.
"Sir, General Hua Xiong is looking for a meeting outside the city."
Yuan Shu frowned slightly and said in confusion: "At this time, the traitor coalition forces set up camp ten miles outside the city. General Hua should defend the camp, why did he go to the city?"
"Master, General Hua Xiong said that there was an important matter to report to the Master, and it was of great importance, so he went to the city in person."
"Let Huaxiong enter the city." Yuan Shu said.
After Hua Xiong hurriedly entered the city, he rode his horse towards the direction of the central army, and his expression could not hide his anxiety and excitement.
"General Hua entered the city late at night, not knowing what was going on?" Yuan Shu asked.
After Hua Xiong saluted, he was about to step forward, but he saw the soldiers guarding Yuan Shu, who suddenly drew out their weapons and stared at Hua Xiong with vigilance.
Yuan Shu waved his hand to signal the guard to retreat, and slowly said, "There are all ministers of the Zhong family's humerus, General Hua said it directly."
Hua Xiong was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Master, I was ordered to fight with the Jingzhou Army Bingzhou Army a few days ago. Although I lost all my troops, I found something that could restrain the traitor cavalry. The military situation was urgent, so I rushed to the city."
Yuan Shu's eyes lit up. The cavalry that made him the most difficult to get started among the coalition forces of the princes was the cavalry. If he could have the means to restrain the cavalry, it would be easier for the coalition forces of the princes to break through the Zhong family army. Since he saw the power of the cavalry when he attacked Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu also spent a huge cost to build cavalry, but the elite level of the cavalry was far behind that of the princes.
"What?" Yuan Shu stared at Hua Xiong with bright eyes, and then everyone in the reconciliation said, "Let's disperse."
After everyone left, Hua Xiong ordered people to present the things they brought.
"Those two things?" Yuan Shu looked suspicious.
"Master, don't underestimate this thing." Hua Xiong picked up the stirrup and said, "I have ridden myself after I got a flying horse. With this thing help, the cavalry will be more stable on the battle horse. Even if I hold weapons in both hands, I don't have to worry about falling off the horse. Flying horses and wolf riding are superb. It is precisely because of this thing helping me."
"Although I don't know what this object is, the flying cavalry's war horses are nailed to it, which is expected to be of great use." Hua Xiong said excitedly. He felt that he had obtained the secret of the flying cavalry. With these things, it is possible to create an elite cavalry. As a general of the horse, Hua Xiong knew the importance of stirrups. Once the cavalry can easily stabilize their body on the war horse, it is a huge improvement in strength. He seems to have seen the scene of Huainan elite soldiers equipped with these two things competing with the flying cavalry on the battlefield.
"Okay, General Hua is a blessing general of the Zhong family. But this thing must be kept carefully and must not be known to others." Yuan Shu said: "The Bingzhou Army will definitely not tell other princes this secret, so that it can become the help of the Zhong family's army."
"Yes, I will do my best to train a cavalry stronger than the flying cavalry to help the emperor to suppress the bandits." Hua Xiong said with his fists, with unprecedented confidence. The Zhong family's cavalry had a total of 5,000 people. If these 5,000 cavalry were equipped with these two things, they would not be invincible on the battlefield. Not to mention entangling the flying cavalry, he had the confidence to fight with the flying cavalry.
Yuan Shu said happily: "With General Hua here, the rebels are not worth worrying."
Hua Xiong was recognized by Yuan Shu and was confidently ordered the blacksmith to build in the shape of stirrups and horseshoes, equip the war horses, and wait for the cavalry to fully adapt to the stirrups, and then he would show the style of the former most powerful general of the Western Liang army. He was also a cavalry. After Hua Xiong thought that after obtaining this secret, he would compete with the Bingzhou cavalry.
Let’s talk about Chen Lan leading a thousand cavalry. As early as the coalition of princes arrived outside Anfeng City, she wandered on the battlefield and constantly sent scouts to inquire about the coalition’s food route.
The grain road is the absolute secret of a large army. Except for the senior generals in the army, others are completely unaware of it. This is also to ensure the security of the grain road. Before the three armies move, food and grass will come first. There is no sufficient food and grass guarantee. Even if the army has a large number, they can only face defeat. The princes come from afar, and the matter of food and grass will naturally be borne by Jingzhou. The general who escorts the grain and grass is Wang Wei, the general of Jingzhou.
