The fire is Zhu Rong's fiery red horse. Although that horse is not a great horse, it is red all over, without a single hair, but it is also very rare. Zhu Rong also likes to wear red clothes and ride there. On horses, the red horses are really like fire gods.
Liu Xin didn't expect a few of her own jokes. She actually took it seriously, and finally couldn't help but laugh. The laugh was a little bit too much. She leaned forward and closed, and couldn't shake it.
Only then did Zhu Rong realize that he was fooled by him, where there was any "identification friend or foe system", which was all nonsense by him. He was so angry that he screwed Liu Xin's arm severely, stomped his feet repeatedly, and said strangely: "Brother, You lied to me and made fun of others,"
She screwed it with great force, Liu Xin grinned in pain, and immediately stopped laughing, took a heavy breath, and said, "Sister, you are so naive, and I don’t know how to be a monster. Fa, how can I direct those studs? The secret is on the hoof of Dianwei’s horse. I let people put shoes on that horse. Naturally, it won’t get hurt."
Where is Zhu Rong still willing to believe him, pouting his little mouth and said: "Huh, there are so many nonsense, how can a horse wear shoes,"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "The horse can not only wear shoes, but also iron shoes. There are many secrets in my army. It's okay to tell you, but you can't reveal it. You have also seen that it is not complicated to pierce horse nails. There are more spikes on the iron bumps. I can make horse nails, and others can follow suit. So I must come up with a way to deal with it early. This way of dealing with it is not mysterious, it is to make a piece of horseshoe similar to a horse's hoof. The iron block of the horseshoe is nailed directly into the horseshoe. This way, not only can the horse be prevented from being stabbed, but also the wear of the horseshoe can be reduced."
After a pause, Liu Xin's face suddenly became serious, and she continued: "Amei, you are a girl. I didn't want you to see these bloody scenes of killing, but conquering the four southern counties. There are many barbarian tribes involved. I don’t want to cause you to hate me because of their massive casualties, so I brought you here and let you see the cruelty of the battlefield with your own eyes. When the war here is over, I I hope you stay in the house safely with your wife and others."
As night fell gradually, except for the soldiers on the outpost who occasionally shouted out the command, the camp of the South-China coalition army was silent. Although it was not the first time for a defeat like today, in their eyes, the Han army only relied on in the past. The benefits of bows and arrows. Now, even the vine armor soldiers who are hard to damage with swords and arrows have been wiped out. How can they not make them fearful when facing such an opponent? The morale of the coalition army has been reduced to the extreme, even on weekdays like noisy. The barbarian soldiers in the barbarian also stayed obediently in the camp tonight,
The composition of the Allied Forces of the South and China is very complicated. There are both barbarians and Han people. The barbarians come from different tribes. The Han people belong to the prefects of the four counties. These people from different camps gather together, not to mention concerted efforts, even between each other. They are still secretly wary, and the situation is somewhat similar to the situation of the Kwantung princes forming an alliance against Dong Zhuo. Therefore, although the coalition forces nominally pushed Liu Dan as the head, they were actually independent, and the camps were scattered and spread out for more than 20 miles.
Yongchang Prefect Wang’s camp is at the westernmost side of this camp, close to a small forest. The clear stream flows slowly from behind the camp. The breeze of the evening wind adds a chill to this peaceful autumn night. Different from other camps, the sentry outside the gate, leaning on their spears, carefully watched the surrounding movement with twelve minutes of caution. They were not guarding against a sneak attack by the Han army, but worried about the presence of other prefects or patriarchs. Come and spy, at this time, their prefect Wang Jiazheng and Jianning prefect Lu Kai are drinking in the big tent to reminisce about the past.
As the prefect of Nanzhong, they led the army together, drinking and chatting together in the evening, it is very common, but in such an environment, encountering the disadvantage of war, in order to avoid suspicion, even if it was originally upright. The relationship will become sneaky, not to mention that they are not simply drinking to reminisce about the old.
Although it was a marching battle, the conditions were a bit simpler, but thanks to the special location of Wang's camp, a few plates of game were still put on several cases, and there were even a few fatty fishes. After three rounds of wine, Wang's wave With a wave of hands, the two Tsing Yi maidservants bowed and retreated.
At that time, there was no rule that women were not allowed to enter the barracks. When some distinguished people went out, they would not only have maids to take care of their meals and daily life, but also bring one or two concubines to warm the bed. Wang Ma was no exception. ,
Lu Kai gently put down the wine cup in his hand, glanced at the two maids who were slowly withdrawing from the camp, and said with a smile: "These two little women are walking on the road, graceful and charming, Lord Wang really knows how to enjoy life,"
Mr. Wang waved his hand and said: "It’s called Master Lu laughed. We lack everything in Nanzhong, but there is no shortage of good girls. Master Lu will not tell me that you are going to expedition this time and you don’t have a few waiters by your side. child,"
Lv Kai laughed and said: "Yes, we are in Nanzhong, the emperor is far away, how happy and happy it is, I'm afraid such a good day is about to end,"
Wang Yan also put down the wine cup in his hand, with a worried expression on his face, and said: "In fact, the second son is a bit far-sighted. Once Liu Xin has won the pass, he will come to deal with us. He just hates not being able to get ahead of him and break through Zhang Ke. Together with Dong Zhuo, they formed a two-sided attack against him. Now that the first opportunity has been lost, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win. Look, I dare to say that since Liu Xin has personally led the troops to come for reinforcements, there will be a steady stream of successors. It is ridiculous that Liu Dan and Meng Huo are arrogant and do not want to retreat."
Lv Kai pondered: "Maybe Lord Wang has already begun to retire,"
Mr. Wang picked up the wine in several cases again, drank it, and said: "Yes, Wang did have this intention, but it is difficult to make a decision for a while, so I invite Master Lu to come and discuss it together."
Lv Kai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "I didn't think about retreating. The terrain of South Central is steep and densely covered with mountains and forests. These are true, but with the strength of Liu Xin's army, it is not difficult to break through the city unless you and I are both. Hidden in the mountains, the barbarians breathe and linger. Lu thinks that retreating is definitely not a good strategy."
Mr. Wang carefully pondered what Lu Kai said, and asked in a deep voice, "In Master Lu's opinion, do you want to surrender Liu Xin?"
Lv Kai shot a few cases and resolutely said: "Now that you can't win in advance, you can't retreat, you can't defend, and if you don't surrender, I'm afraid that even the few maids around you will not be able to save. Lord Wang thought that the second son was not bad. What I saw, I’m afraid that we were all fooled by him. In the past two years, Liu Xin hasn’t moved us. Does Lord Wang really think he doesn’t have this strength?"
Wang Yan turned his head and asked, "Then why has he been standing still,"
Lv Kai hummed, and said, "Liu Xin can't look down on our four counties in South Central, too lazy to spend effort on us. Lord Wang should also know that the center of gravity of the world is in the north and in the Central Plains. Back then, Yuan Shao and Guandong The princes of the Seventeen Towns were still unable to take down Dong Zhuo, but Liu Xin dared to conquer Guanzhong with his own power, which shows that he must have some confidence."
After a pause, Lu Kai continued: "Although the roads in the four counties of South Central China are congested, but Lu wants to come, Lord Wang will not have eyes and ears outside. According to the news that Lu received, Liu Xin has a big picture. Now, since he has come here, it goes without saying that Guanzhong has been in his pocket. However, even if he accepts Guanzhong, he would not be eager to use troops against Nanzhong. After all, his primary goal must be to unify the Central Plains. You can live a peaceful life for a few years, but Liu Dan and Meng Huo dare to stroke the tiger's beard, which angered him."
Mr. Wang thought for a while, and said, "Master Lu's words are not unreasonable, but Wang knows that once you and I surrender Liu Xin, even if you can keep the position of the prefect, the military power must be handed over."
Lv Kai said disapprovingly: "Is there any tightness in the military power? Look at Zhu Ding, but a barbarian tribe patriarch still enjoys the glory and wealth."
After listening to Lu Kai's words, Mr. Wang was a little moved, but thinking about the large camp that stretched for more than 20 miles, he hesitated and said: "Master Lu, you and I have few soldiers, and secondly, you have no contact with Liu Xin. I don’t know if he is willing to accept it. Besides, didn’t the Mulu patriarch said that he still has an amazing army, why don’t we just wait and see?"
Lu Kai was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said: "Since Lord Wang has high hopes for the patriarch Mulu's marvelous soldiers, let's wait and see."
Under the cover of night, Lu Kai hurried back to his camp with a few relatives, his smiling face tightened, and a trace of disdain hung on the corner of his mouth.
The next morning, it was time for sunrise, and the surroundings were still gloomy. Liu Xin, who was practicing boxing outside the camp, only felt a cold on his forehead. When he looked up, the sky had been pattering and it was raining, and Liu Xin brows. Slightly wrinkled, they all said that the autumn rain was lingering. It seems that today’s plan to inspect the enemy’s camp can only be postponed.
Liu Xin did not pay attention to the South-China coalition forces in front of them. This South-China coalition force can be said to be a typical rabble. Regardless of tactical literacy, individual training or weapons and equipment, they are not at the same level as the Han army. , Compared with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is far behind, and even not as good as the old Luoyang army and Yuan Shu's army. Dealing with such an army, Liu Xin could have easily defeated them, but Liu Xin was more worried about them. Going into the depths of the mountain, it has since become an endless banditry, and it will be much more difficult to clean up.
However, to annihilate them all without causing too many casualties to the barbarians, this is not an easy task. Liu Xin does not want to massacre the barbarians, not just for Zhu Rong, but more. Worried that the enmity between the Han and the Barbarian nations due to the massacre would not be conducive to the stability and development of this area in the future, so Liu Xin wanted to personally explore the enemy camp to find a perfect solution.
Seeing the unexpected autumn rain in front of him, Liu Xin shook his head helplessly, closed his fist, turned and walked towards his camp, the door of the camp opened slightly, but he heard a sharp "ah" inside. call,
