The so-called unowned military horses do not mean that these horses originally had no owners, but that their owners have died in battle. Zhao Yun ordered the search only for their unowned military horses. These horses are easy to identify because the saddles are black. The reins are black, and the bridle is also black. As for the war horses that were killed or wounded by the Xuzhou Army, these Han soldiers would not care about them.
Liu Xin enacted a regulation in the Han Army to thoroughly clean up the battlefield after each battle. The reason for doing so was to keep the enemy from obtaining information on the various equipment of the Han Army, especially the stirrups and horseshoes. Therefore, Even if the horse is dead, the four hooves must be cut off, because there is no time to slowly take off the horseshoes. It will be more convenient to cut the four hooves.
Mi Zhu was worried about the battle here, and hurried over. He didn't know the power of the relationship. He heard that he had only lost four military horses. He couldn't help feeling that Zhao Yun was making a fuss. He couldn't help saying, "Everyone, four military horses." It's not a big deal. When it comes to Xiangyang, Mi is willing to dedicate a hundred horses and soldiers."
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "My master has already taken Xiliang, where will there be any horses missing? Forget it, this is the end of the matter. I can't regret it, so hurry up."
This battle took place at the junction of Xuzhou and Qiaojun. How could it be hidden from Yuan Shu’s eyes and ears
The connection between Liu Xin and Xuzhou must pass through Runan and Qiaojun. However, Liu Xin and Yuan Shu have reached an agreement long ago. The army only needs to notify in advance to pass from here, but Yuan Shu these days Very puzzled, Liu Xin first sent someone to inform him that a team of 15,000 people needed to go to Xuzhou. A few days later, he sent someone again, saying that more than 20,000 people would return to Xiangyang from Xuzhou. It was the news that Liu Xin had a total of 50,000 cavalrymen who needed to cross the border to meet the team returning from Xuzhou.
Yuan Shu couldn’t figure it out. Does a team of more than 20,000 people still need to send troops to respond? As long as he enters the territory of Qiaojun, Yuan Shu would never dare to fight against this team. Liu Xin and Tao Qian have always had a good relationship. Is there any danger that will not be achieved, is Liu Xin going to use a trick to kill Guo
Although the two sides had an agreement long ago, Yuan Shu did not dare to be too big. He hurriedly ordered the entire territory to strengthen security, and sent multiple scouts to the border of Runan to inquire about the news, and finally learned that Liu Xin's army and the Xuzhou army had happened at the border. In a great battle, almost the entire army of more than 30,000 Xuzhou troops was wiped out. Yuan Shu realized that Liu Xin's army was really just crossing the border, not to deal with himself. When he was relieved, he laughed: "This Tao Qian is really He doesn't know what he can, even Yuan Mou now wants Liu Xin to make a three-pointer. He actually wants to break ground on Tai Sui's head. He really doesn't know what he can do."
General Chang Shi Yang handed over and said: "Enlighten the lord, Tao Qian and Liu Xin are guilty, and the lord justice can take this opportunity to attack Xuzhou,"
Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "Xuzhou is a big piece of fat, and we still can't eat it with our strength. We should eat Jiujiang first."
Jiujiang is Liu Yu’s territory, because Yuan Shu occupied Lujiang, and Liu Yu was the Yangzhou pastor appointed by Liu Xie. Lujiang should have been under his jurisdiction, so Liu Yu sent people to ask for it again and again. Yuan Shu has long been annoyed by Yuan Shu. A total of only three counties are controlled. If Lujiang is returned to Liu Yao, then he is still confused. He is concerned about his personal interests. Naturally, the two sides have no need to talk about it.
"One, two, three, four," a child said, pointing to a field not far away, "Father, look, how come there are four horses there?"
This is a manor fifteen miles west of Pengcheng. It is the residence of Zhang Zhao, a famous person in Pengcheng. It is the golden autumn. Zhang Zhao brought his two sons to the countryside to live in the countryside and feel the idyllic scenery. It was Zhang Zhao’s youngest son who was talking. Zhang Xiu,
Zhang Zhao looked in the direction of his son’s finger, and saw that there were several horses grazing there. There were not many horses in Xuzhou. A wealthy family like Zhang Zhao only raised three or four horses.
But he heard the boy next to Zhang Zhao say: "Father, that's the war horse of the Jingzhou Army,"
Although Liu Xin has always preached that his army is an orthodox Han army, in Xuzhou, both officials and ordinary people are used to calling them Jingzhou army.
Zhang Zhao couldn't help wondering: "Cheng'er, how do you know that these horses belong to the Jingzhou Army?"
Zhang Cheng said: "Father, you forgot that Cheng'er fell ill last year. It happened that the Jingzhou Army was here to help the villagers build roads, so they carried Cheng'er with a horse to ask the little genius doctor for treatment. Cheng'er remembered clearly and sent Cheng'er. The saddle of the knight who went to Xuzhou is of this color."
Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Although it is not certain that these horses belong to the Jingzhou Army, few people raise horses in the neighborhood. These horses are strange, let's go and see."
Those horses were obviously tamed, and I didn’t panic when seeing strangers approaching. They graze on the grass on their own. Zhang Zhao took a closer look. The saddles, reins, and halters of these horses were really the same. , And there are still many bloodstains on the horses, and he can’t help but say in surprise: “I heard that the Jingzhou Army had left for Xiangyang two days ago. How could there be a few military horses scattered here? Could it be that they encountered some accident on the road, Cheng’er, you hurry up? Go back to the village and call some people to drive these horses back to the village first, and raise them temporarily."
Outside the city of Xiangyang, Cai Yong is bidding farewell to Xun Yu and Xun Chen. In the past few days, old friends have reunited. Cai Yong is very happy. He took two days off and accompanied the Xun Yu brothers to visit Xiangyang City. Menchengfang took them to the water village in Jiangxia, and Liu Xin gave Cai Yong the task of receiving these two messengers on the grounds of busy work. Even if they left today, they did not come out to see each other. ,
Xun Yu faintly felt that Liu Xin seemed to have some opinions about himself, it should be to invite Hua Tuo to go to Puyang to see a doctor for Cao Cao. In fact, in the eyes of Xun Yu and others, treating illnesses and injuries are all tricks of carving insects, no matter how powerful the genius doctor is. It doesn’t need to be so important. Besides, he doesn’t believe that Cao Cao will harm a medical practitioner.
Although Xun Yu thought so in his heart, Liu Xin had the initiative in his hands, and he could not help it. However, although the schedule for these two days was tighter, Xun Yu gained a lot.
Although the scale of Xiangyang City is not as large as Luoyang, it is absolutely no less prosperous than the capital of the year. The endless stream of merchants in the street market is filled with happy smiles on the faces of the people. In this troubled world, you can Said it is a rare piece of paradise,
Although Liu Xin did not personally accompany him, he was very generous to the two brothers. The promised Xiangyang city defense and Shuijun Dazhai almost gave them an unobstructed view. The city walls of Xiangyang are high and deep and extremely strong. Xun Yu had already figured it out in my heart. To capture Xiangyang City, at least 300,000 troops would be needed, and it would also need to be integrated inside and outside. As for the navy stronghold, Xun Yu was amazed by those tall buildings. , It is simply a castle moving on the Yangtze River, it is almost invincible for the soldiers in the north who are not familiar with water warfare.
From Xiangyang all the way to the north, Xun Yu and Xun Chen were silent, thinking about their own thoughts. What they had seen and heard in these two days was too shocking for them. They all understood that whether it was Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, their current strengths It cannot be Liu Xin’s opponent unless the two of them join hands, but is it possible
In the evening of the next day, the two brothers came to their hometown of Yingchuan. Han Opera had long received news from the Xun brothers. They brought a group of civil and military officials and the teachers and students of Yingchuan Academy to wait outside the gate of Yingchuan Academy. It was originally the Xun family’s industry, and Han Opera and Xun Yu were classmates in the academy. The first stop of the Xun brothers’ return home was naturally the academy.
The academy is now temporarily in charge by Han Opera. He originally wanted to demolish the academy and rebuild it, but Liu Xin did not agree. Liu Xin comes from a later generation and has been "stealing" for many years. Antiquities and cultural relics are also one of his targets. There is a little bit of research. For Yingchuan Academy, a “national cultural relics protection unit” that has “produced” many famous advisers, Liu Xin certainly does not want to be destroyed in his own hands. After the "Project Feasibility Report", Liu Xin swiped his pen and rejected it entirely.
Finally, in accordance with Liu Xin’s instructions, the former site of Yingchuan Academy was repaired based on the principle of “repair the old as the old”, and another 100 acres of land was allocated behind the site of Yingchuan Academy for the construction of a new academy.
Unlike Xiangyang City, which has an inch of land and an inch of gold, Yingchuan Academy is on the outskirts of the city. The land here is relatively cheaper. That’s why Liu Xin was able to allocate such a large piece of land very generously. With land, other things are much easier, not only Masonry, wood, and even the engineering team were readily available. Soon, a brand new Yingchuan Academy was erected here.
Brothers Xun Yu and Xun Chen have just visited Xiangyang Academy, and now they see Yingchuan Academy where they have studied since childhood. They have mixed feelings. Needless to say, the old academy that "repairs as old as the old", the low couch and the pair The several cases all evoke childhood memories, and the new academy is more magnificent than the academy, with dormitories, studies, and library all available.
Seeing this, Xun Chen couldn't help asking: "Master Han, Xun has heard Master Liu say that he wants to return Yingchuan Academy to the Xun family, but Master Liu built this new Yingchuan Academy, then Even if he returns the old Yingchuan Academy to the Xun family, what is the use?"
Han Xi laughed and said, "Where did Master Xun want to go, of course both the old and new academies have been returned to the Xun family."
Xun Yu said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
Indeed, this new Yingchuan Academy far surpasses Xiangyang Academy in terms of land occupation and construction scale. It will cost a lot of money. How did Liu Xin give it to the Xun family for nothing
The Korean drama laughed loudly and said: "Wen Ruo, you still don’t understand my Patriarch, and my Patriarch will do what he says. If you say that you want to return the academy to the Xun family in the future, you will definitely return it to the Xun family, and my Patriarch will pay back. Having said that, in the future, we will make Xiangyang Academy a model of government-run academies, and let Yingchuan Academy become a model of private academies."
That night, Han Opera hosted a banquet in the old Yingchuan Academy in honor of the two brothers Xun Yu and Xun Chen. If Liu Xin knew that Han Opera had a large banquet at the "National Cultural Relics Protection Unit" that he values very much, I am afraid it will He scolded Han Xi to a bloody head,
