Chapter 467 Untitled
The Jingchu generation was next to the Yangtze River, and Xiangyang was even on the edge of Jingshan Mountain. The ancients had Yunshan Mountain but not high and immortals, but famous water was not deep and dragons were spiritual. I have never encountered immortal dragons, but there were many dragons and phoenixes among the people who came out of this Jingchu land. One area of water and soil nourished the other area.
The gate of Xiangyang City opened as usual at dawn. The city gate opened and a pair of soldiers and horses took the lead in leaving the city gate. This was not a marching and war, nor was there an urgent military information to be reported, but these were all serving the carriage behind them.
"Is Mrs. Cai going to Jingshan again?" Such a big noise could not be hidden, but the people of Xiangyang seemed to be familiar with it. Looking at the soldiers and horses leading the way, the army guards were talking around the lit carriage.
Mrs. Cai goes to Jingshan every month and everyone is used to it!
"Xiao Cui is here!" Xiangyang still needs a certain distance from Jingshan, and a noble and cold voice came from the entire carriage guarding the army.
"Miss is not here yet!" Xiao Cui replied to Mrs. Cai in the carriage. This Xiao Cui has been with Mrs. Cai since the Cai family, so she is more accustomed to calling her wife Miss. Xiao Cui poked her head out and looked at the scene outside the carriage. They had left Xiangyang City, and Xiangyang City had disappeared from sight. "Miss, I'll be there later!"
"Yeah!" Mrs. Cai nodded, and she leaned on the carriage. Every month, only a few days outside the city, could Mrs. Cai truly belong to her. Just as Mrs. Cai was about to take a short snatch, the carriage stopped, and Mrs. Cai was about to frown.
"Miss, there is a scholar on the road ahead who wants to meet!"
Mrs. Cai was about to wave her hand, and he didn't want to see any scholar. "This scholar said that he came from Lumen Academy and could help the Zong Gongzi!"
"Lumen Academy?!"
...
"This Jingzhou is really a good place!" Liu Mang also left this Xiangyang City. Before, Liu Mang had to disguise himself to see Kuai Yue before he could get out of the city. Because Liu Mang came to Jingzhou, many people would definitely monitor Liu Mang. However, now Liu Mang and the Kuai family have married each other. Not to mention Liu Mang himself, even some of the younger brothers of the Kuai family have begun to help Liu Mang cover up their whereabouts.
Therefore, it was very relaxed to leave the city gate, and Liu Mang was naturally very comfortable.
Are there poor people in Jingzhou? Yes! There are really many poor people near where Kuai Liang lives. Their houses are made of thatched grass, but these poor people did not starve to death, and at least they could still have enough food and clothing.
So it is difficult to see corpses inside and outside the city of Jingzhou. Unlike in Yangzhou, Yuzhou, some places are simply hungry and rotten corpses everywhere. Even if there is a beautiful scenery, you will not be interested in watching it.
There are people working in the fields, birds in the sky, blue sky and white clouds. Such scenes are never seen in previous lives.
"I hope this paradise in troubled times can be avoided!" Jia Xu also sighed that the world's general trend will be divided and separated for a long time. These are all struggles of aristocratic families and struggles of ambitious families, but the sufferings are the people.
Liu Biao Shucheng did not have the spirit of pioneering and enterprising, and the whole world was truly considered an enemy, just Sun Ce from Jiangdong. It is precisely because of this that the people of Jingzhou were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and not be as ruthless as other places.
But this world cannot be calmed down just by wanting to calm down. Liu Biao's Jingzhou is a big piece of fat piece, which cannot be salivated by people. Why did Sun Ce, Jiangdong, keep attacking Jingzhou without going to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony? That's because he knew that once Jingzhou was captured, he would not only be able to make up for the losses he had fought over the years, but also have greater potential to fight the world. To fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, places like Yangzhou and Xuzhou could be considered rich places, but now Yangzhou is already empty in Yuan Shu's hands, and Xuzhou has changed its lord three times, and it is also broken. Not only can he not replenish himself by taking them down, but because of the large territory, Sun Ce's already stretched troops and horses were scattered and defeated by others.
Now there are more Liu Paopao and their Yangzhou army around. Even Cao Cao from Xudu is always thinking about Jingzhou. Jingzhou has won the power of several states in his hands.
"Liu Biao, Liu Qi, Liu Zong?!" Liu Mang was also thinking about these three people in his mind. Liu Biao was already old. If Liu Mang remembered well, he would not have been alive for a few years. Then the lord of Jingzhou must be in the hands of Liu Qi and Liu Zong, but Liu Qi can really fight against that Liu Zong!
Liu Mang shook his head and said no more, the matter in Jingzhou has nothing to do with him, Liu Mang. What he wants now is food and food.
"Have those two grain merchants transported the grain to Yangzhou?!" Liu Mang and Jia Xu sat in the carriage, and Liu Mang asked Jia Xu.
"I haven't arrived in Yangzhou yet, I should be in Zaoyang now!" Jia Xu replied. Fatty Liang and the others gathered together with a total of 30,000 grains and grass, which is not a small number. It was transferred from the broadcast of Xiangyang to Xinye. Xinye is now in a good way with Liu Qi's help.
"It's a drop in the bucket!" Thirty thousand grains and grass are enough for one to go to war, but for Liu Mang's Yangzhou, it's still a drop in the bucket.
"Zilong's white horse Congyi!" Liu Mang forgot the three thousand white horses Congyi in Zhao Yun's hand. Liu Mang had a lot of money. He was all good horses, plus the silk inside, the rain of arrows, stirrups and saddles, and one person and two horses. It can be said that in addition to the lack of heavy armor, the cavalry's fee is no lower than that of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
"General Zilong has been avoiding war!" The news Jia Xu received was that although Zhao Yun's troops headed north to Wancheng, they had never started a head-on battle with Liu Bei's army.
"Haha, that's good, that's good!" Liu Mang laughed at the news. What he wanted was Zhao Yun's avoidance of the war. If he fought against Liu Paopau's Xiliang Iron Cavalry head-on, it would be enough to have the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. What else do you need for light cavalry?
Zhao Yun is gradually familiar with this Manguda tactic!
Another reason why Liu Mang taught the White Horse Congyi to Zhao Yun was that Zhao Yun was calm and left. This man was loyal and righteous. He did whatever Liu Mang asked him to do. Unlike Xu Sheng and others, although Xu Sheng was also very strong, he had a bad temper and could not find himself once he was angry.
"My lord, we have a lot of consumption!" Jia Xu handed over another order, which clearly wrote the cost of Zhao Yun's military horse for ten days. This white horse is not an army in the Yi Dynasty, it is a completely money-burning ancestor.
A feather arrow costs twenty coins, and one hundred is two thousand coins. In the past ten days, Zhao Yun shot nearly one hundred thousand feather arrows, as well as the losses of hard bows, and the losses of war horses, all of which would be counted, hundreds of gold would be gone in dozens of days.
"As long as it can be solved by money, it's not that it's a problem!" Liu Mang grinned. It's not that Liu Mang is so rich, but that Liu Mang needs to turn all the dead money in his hands into living money. "And I believe this Liu Da'er may not be having a good time these days!"
Liu Mang was right. Liu Bei had a hard time these days. The entire Nanyang County was rippling with a cavalry of three thousand horses. No matter who was alone, it would be unhappy. Nanyang is Liu Bei's territory, how could it be possible for others to enter?
It is naturally a cavalry to deal with cavalry. Liu Bei waved his hand and asked the Western Liang cavalry of Hu Cheer under his command to kill him and prepare to destroy Liu Mang's light cavalry. This era depends on who has thick armor. The reason why the Han cavalry could score the Huns into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu was because the Han cavalry had thick armor.
Liu Mang asked Zhao Yun to lead the white horses, all of whom were light cavalry. Apart from the silk inside, there was basically no armor. In terms of leather armor, these heavy armored cavalry were completely a delivery.
Hu Cheer was excited. He wanted to destroy these three thousand Liu Mang's cavalry. He was jealous of this light cavalry for a long time. Although he was one arm, Hu Cheer's hostility was not weak at all. As long as he had contact, Hu Cheer would bet that he could cut the cavalry and swallow it directly.
But when Hu Cheer rushed out, he realized that he was a bit outrageously wrong. Not to mention cutting and swallowing, he didn't even have the idea of fighting head-on with you.
Zhao Yun saw Hu Cheer's army move out, and couldn't stand Hu Cheer's eyes, and waved the flag directly, and the army retreated!
Run away without fighting? Are you afraid! Hu Cheer is still excited, and being afraid before fighting is a taboo in military law. Once you are caught up by the enemy, it will go from retreat to defeat.
Hu Cheer expressed disdain for the general of this cavalry and wanted to take the head of this general as his military achievements.
What made Hu Cheer smile the most was that the commander of the three thousand cavalry was kicked by a donkey, and he actually pulled the bow on the horse or on the galloping war horse. If these were all their Qiang cavalry or foreign cavalry, Hu Cheer still believed it. After all, he was a nation living on the horse's back. Practice made perfect. But at this glance, he could tell that these were all Han people, and there were even many Aokiji people. They were recruits at first glance, and they were still shooting people? It would be great if you could get on the bowstring.
The war horse Mengde under his crotch was whipping it, and he was about to catch up, but it was just a little bit worse, just a little bit worse.
That's just a little bit that became a nightmare for Hu Cheer. He had two horses on one person, while he had two horses on one person, and he had light cavalry, while he had heavy armored cavalry. If he could catch up, there would be a ghost.
The rain of arrows was covered with rain, and the arrows were not very accurate, but they couldn't stand many. Although Hu Cheer's subordinates were heavy armored cavalry, their war horses were not heavy armored cavalry. This time, many Western Liang cavalry fell behind or trampled to death because of their injuries and horses being shot to death.
It was impossible to see one or two games, but if this was accumulated, Hu Cheer could not stand it anymore. In just one day, he lost nearly three hundred riders.
Hu Cheer is angry, we can shoot arrows too. Among Hu Cheer's Western Liang Iron Cavalry, there are really many who can pull the bows and shoot in the Mercedes-Benz, but many of them are just a few hundred arrows.
Not to mention whether they can be shot or not, even if they hit the white horses wearing silk clothes, they don’t care much. If the arrows cannot be stabbed in, they will be shaken off by the silk on their bodies.
If he couldn't catch up, Hu Cheer simply stopped chasing him and rested on horsepower.
But Zhao Yun would let them rest! When Liu Mang left, he gave a sixteen-word policy. The enemy advances and we retreat. The enemy stands and disturbs me. The enemy is tired and I will fight. The enemy retreats and I will chase.
Suddenly, this scene appeared on the entire Nanyang County land. At first, the red cavalry was chasing the white cavalry. After the difficulty, the white cavalry was chasing the red cavalry. After the difficulty, the reverse was sequel, and it was repeated over and over again. This is why Zhao Yun spent 100,000 arrows in just tens of days.
