The generation of Jingchu is next to the Yangtze River, and Xiangyang is on the edge of Jingshan Mountain. In the ancients, there are clouds and mountains that are not high. Immortals are famous and waters are not deep. There are dragons and spirits. Immortal dragons have never been encountered before, but they came out of this land of Jingchu. There are really many dragons and phoenixes among the people in the world, and one side nourishes the other side.
The gate of Xiangyang City was opened at dawn as usual, the gate was opened, and a pair of soldiers and horses were the first to leave the gate. These are all serving the carriage behind.
"Is Mrs. Cai going to Jingshan again?" It is impossible to hide such a big movement, but the people in this Xiangyang seem to be familiar with it, watching the soldiers and horses clearing the way all the way, and the troops guarding the road. There were discussions around the bright carriage.
Everyone has become accustomed to Mrs. Cai going to Jingshan every month!
"Xiaocui is here!" Xiangyang still needs a certain distance from Jingshan, and a noble and cold voice came from the carriage surrounded by the entire army and horses.
"Miss hasn't arrived yet!" Xiao Cui replied to Mrs. Cai who was in the carriage. This Xiao Cui has been with Mrs. Cai since she was in the Cai family, so she is more used to calling her wife Miss. Xiao Cui poked her head out and looked at the scene outside the carriage. They had already left Xiangyang City, and Xiangyang City had disappeared from sight. "Miss, we will arrive later!"
"En!" Madam Cai nodded, she leaned on the carriage, only a few days outside the city every month can Madam Cai truly belong to her time. Madam Cai was about to squint for a while, but the carriage stopped, Madam Cai was about to frown.
"Miss, there is a scholar on the road ahead who wants to see you!"
Mrs. Cai was about to wave her hand. He doesn't want to see any scholars, "This scholar said that he is from Lumen Academy and can help Mr. Zong!"
"Deer Gate Academy?!"
…
"This Jingzhou is really a good place!" Liu Mang also left Xiangyang City. Before Liu Mang wanted to see Kuai Yue, he had to disguise himself to get out of the city. Because Liu Mang came to Jingzhou, there must be many people watching Liu Mang, but now Liu Mang and Kuai’s family are married, not to mention Liu Mang himself. Even some younger brothers from the Kuai family began to help Liu Mang cover up his whereabouts.
So it was very easy for Liu Mang to get out of the city gate, and Liu Mang was naturally very comfortable under his comfort.
Are there poor people in Jingzhou? have! Indeed, there are many poor people near the place where Kuai Liang lives. Their houses are all made of thatched grass, but these poor people did not starve to death, at least they can still have enough food and clothing.
So looking at Jingzhou, it is difficult to see corpses inside and outside the city. Unlike Yuzhou and Yangzhou, some places are simply starving and rotting corpses are everywhere. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you don’t want to watch it.
There are people working in the fields, birds flying in the sky, blue sky and white clouds, such scenes were never seen in the previous life.
"I hope this paradise in the troubled times can avoid the past!" Jia Xu also sighed. The general trend of the world must be divided for a long time, and it must be united for a long time. These are the struggles of aristocratic families and the struggles of careerists. But it is the common people who suffer.
Liu Biao is conservative and has no pioneering spirit. The only real enemy in the whole world is Jiangdong Sun Ce. It is precisely because of this that the people in Jingzhou can live and work in peace and contentment, and they will not be as aggressive as other places.
But this world is not something you can calm down if you want to be calm. Liu Biao’s Jingzhou is such a big piece of fat, it is impossible not to be coveted. Why does Jiangdong Sun Ce keep attacking Jingzhou instead of going to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony? It is because of him Knowing that once Jingzhou is conquered, not only will he be able to make up for the losses he lost in these years of fighting, but he will also have greater potential to conquer the world, and to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, places like Yangzhou and Xuzhou can be regarded as wealthy places, but Now Yangzhou is completely empty in the hands of Yuan Shu, and Xuzhou has changed its owner three times, and it has been beaten to pieces. Taking them down will not only fail to supplement itself, but also make Sun Ce's already stretched soldiers because of the large territory. The horses scattered and were beaten one by one.
Now there are more Liu Paopao and their Yangzhou army on the side. Even Cao Cao in Xudu is thinking about Jingzhou all the time. Jingzhou has won the power of several states in one place.
"Liu Biao, Liu Qi, Liu Zong?!" Liu Mang was also thinking about these three people in his heart. Liu Biao was already old, and if Liu Mang remembered well, he would not be alive for a few years, so the lord of Jingzhou would definitely be there after that. In the hands of Liu Qi and Liu Zong, but Liu Qi can really fight against that Liu Zong!
Liu Mang shook his head, he didn't think about it anymore, what happened in Jingzhou has nothing to do with Liu Mang, what he wants now is food, food and grass.
"Those two grain merchants have already transported the grain and grass to Yangzhou?!" Liu Mang and Jia Xu were sitting in the carriage, and Liu Mang asked Jia Xu.
"I haven't reached Yangzhou yet, so I should be in the Zaoyang area now!" Jia Xu replied. Fatty Liang and the others have collected a total of 30,000 grain and grass, which is not a small number. They have been transferred from Xiangyang to Xinye, and Xinye now has Liu Qi. His help is like a duck to water.
"It's a drop in the bucket!" Thirty thousand grain and grass are enough for one expedition, but it's still a drop in the bucket for Liu Mang's Yangzhou.
"Zilong and his white horse Congyi!" Liu Wei forgot the three thousand white horses in Zhao Yun's hands. Silk, and the rain of arrows, stirrups and saddles, and two horses for one person. It can be said that apart from the lack of heavy armor, this cavalry is no less expensive than Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
"General Zilong has been avoiding the battle!" Jia Xu got the news that although Zhao Yun's troops had gone north to Wancheng, they had never fought head-on with Liu Bei's army.
"Hehe, avoiding the war, that's good, that's good!" Liu Mang laughed when he heard the news. What he wanted was Zhao Yun's avoiding the war. Riding is enough, why do you need light cavalry
Zhao Yun has gradually become familiar with this Mangu evil tactics!
Another reason why Liu Mang taught Zhao Yun the white horse Congyi was that Zhao Yun could calm down and leave. Although Xu Sheng is also very strong. But the temper is violent. Once you are provoked, you can't find yourself.
"My lord, our consumption is quite a lot!" Jia Xu handed over another list, which clearly stated the cost of Zhao Yun's soldier and horse for tens of days. Where did this white horse come from? It's the army, it's completely a money-burning ancestor.
A feathered arrow costs 20 renminbi, and a hundred is 2000 renminbi. In the past ten days, Zhao Yun has shot nearly 100,000 feathered arrows, including the loss of hard bows and horses. Hundreds of gold in dozens of days will be gone.
"As long as it can be solved by money, it's not a problem!" Liu Mang grinned. It's not that Liu Mang is rich, but that Liu Mang needs to turn all the dead money in his hands into living money. "And I believe this Liu Daer and others I'm afraid it's going to be a bad day!"
Liu Wei is right, Liu Bei is really having a hard time these days, the whole Nanyang County is surrounded by a cavalry of 3,000 soldiers, no matter who he is, he will be upset, this Nanyang is his territory, Liu Bei, How could it be possible for others to enter.
To deal with cavalry, it is natural to be cavalry. With a big wave of Liu Bei's hand, Hu Che'er's Xiliang iron cavalry under his command was killed, and he was about to destroy Liu Mang's light cavalry. In this era, it depends on whose armor is thick. The reason why the big Han cavalry can score the Huns is the Southern Huns and the Northern Huns. It is because the armor of the Han cavalry is thick.
The Baima Congyi led by Liu Mang and Zhao Yun were all light cavalry. Except for the silk inside, they basically had no armor. In the eyes of these heavily armored cavalry, the leather armor was completely for delivering food.
Hu Che'er was excited to go out. He wanted to destroy the three thousand Liu Mang's cavalry. He was envious of this light cavalry with six thousand horses for a long time. not weak. With just one touch, Hu Che'er dared to bet that he could cut off the cavalry and swallow it whole.
But when Hu Che'er rushed out, he realized that something was wrong, not to mention cutting and devouring, he didn't even have the idea of fighting you head-on.
Zhao Yun saw Hu Che'er's army dispatched, and Hu Che'er couldn't bear to look at it, so he waved the flag directly, and the army retreated!
Run without hitting? Are you afraid? Hu Che'er was still excited. It is a taboo in military law to be timid before fighting. Once the enemy catches up, it will turn from a retreat to a rout.
Hu Che'er showed disdain for the general of this cavalry, and was about to take the head of this general as his military exploit.
What made Hu Che'er grin the most was that the commander of the three thousand cavalry had his head kicked by a donkey, and he wanted to draw his bow on a horse, or on a galloping horse. If these were all Qiang cavalry or Foreign cavalry, Hu Che'er still believes in one thing, after all, they are a nation that lives on horseback, and practice makes perfect, but at a glance, they are all faces of Han people, and there are even many Qingzhi people. Shoot someone? It's good that you can put on a bowstring.
The war horse Mengde under his crotch was whipping, and he was about to catch up, but it was just a little bit, just a little bit.
Just that little bit has become a nightmare for Hu Che'er. He has one man and two horses, but Hu Che'er has one man and one horse. He is a light cavalry, and Hu Che'er is a heavy armored cavalry. It would be a ghost if he could catch up.
Arrows rained all over the sky, covering the sky and covering the earth. Those arrows are not accurate enough, but they can't stand much. Although Hu Che'er's men are heavy armored cavalry, their horses are not heavy armored cavalry. Many Xiliang iron cavalry fell behind or were trampled to death because their horses were shot and killed.
You can't see it in one game or two, but if it accumulates, Hu Che'er can't stand it anymore. In just one day, he lost nearly 300 horses.
Hu Che'er is angry, you shoot arrows and we also shoot arrows, there are quite a few of Hu Che'er's Xiliang iron cavalry who can draw their bows and shoot while galloping, but this number is only a few hundred arrows. .
Not to mention whether it can be shot, even if it hits those white horses who are wearing silk clothes, they don't care much. The arrows that can't penetrate at all will be recoiled by the silk on their bodies.
Unable to catch up, Hu Che'er simply stopped chasing and rested his horsepower.
But Zhao Yun will let them rest! When Liu Mang left, he gave him a sixteen-character guideline: the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy camps and we harass, the enemy is tired and we attack, and the enemy retreats and we pursue.
Immediately, such a scene appeared on the entire land of Nanyang County. At first, the red cavalry chased the white cavalry, and then the white cavalry chased the red cavalry. Zhao Yun spent 100,000 arrows in just a few dozen days.
Liu Bei's face was ashen, the others had already hit the door, but he couldn't do anything against the enemy, and because Hu Che'er chased them out, he directly lost a thousand Xiliang cavalry in the past few days. How much money does Liu Bei have? To be able to withstand such consumption, if you exchanged a thousand cavalry for hundreds of other people, it would be fine, but the war damage has resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries, and these dozens still have no heads and no corpses. I don't know how much water there is in it. (to be continued..)
