Chapter 214 Shihu's Army of Millions

There is indeed a gap between imagination and reality. According to Liu Yan's thinking, the cavalry produced by the system should be a kind of assault cavalry, but what kind of cavalry did he see?

The cavalrymen who appeared, the knights on horseback were dressed in more Chinese style. It was a linen battle robe with red top and black bottom, with a set of armor, skirt armor around the waist, leggings on the calves, and a piece of armor on the head. In the pocket, the matching weapon is a dagger with a longer spear point, and a knife with a ring head; the horse has a saddle, but it looks like a Takahashi saddle, except for the bit and rein, and there is no vest and stirrup .

Those who are familiar with it will actually see that the system cavalry is the uniform of the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Liu Yan seems to be closer to the impression of the cavalry of the Western Han Dynasty.

The dress of the camel cavalry is in the style of the Western Regions. The dress of the knight is similar to it, except that there is an extra cloak (desert suit?), and the weapon is also a dagger with a longer spear tip and a ring-shoulder knife.The camels are matched with the war horses.

The cavalry archers that Liu Yan was looking forward to looked a little speechless. They were wearing leather armor and only had a cavalry bow as their weapon. They didn't even have any melee weapons!
There are cavalry with only half-armored cavalry, cavalry archers without melee weapons, and camels... well, don't worry about camels for now, such cavalry disappointed Liu Yan somewhat.

Liu Yan then carried out some supporting upgrades for infantry units, including the development of light cavalry, and very deliberately "summoned" at least one of all arms. The pike soldiers upgraded from pawns still have the lowest force value.

In addition, it is very certain that the system unit already has IQ, they can talk, and they are also curious about some things. The only difference is that they unconditionally execute Liu Yan's orders.

Liu Yan started the experiment with excitement, such as giving orders to the system units in his mind, and asking the system units that received the orders to retell the language. The strange situation is... the system units seem to be restricted by some kind of restrictions, and cannot express the orders received in words. Retelling is also impossible to write.

Regarding the failure of the "human body communicator" attempt, although Liu Yan was disappointed, he also took it for granted. He was able to command the system units remotely. If the system units can also be used as "human body communicators", then it is really not 01: 30 points of help, but it’s a pity that it can’t be used.

In fact, there is nothing to be disappointed about?Liu Yan's next step is to test the system unit, which is a test in all aspects.He talks to them, orders combat units to fight prisoners of war, and it's clear that with the upgrade to "Castle Age" everything really improves.

The test was not over until the people from Xiangguo got annoyed. Liu Yan couldn't procrastinate any longer. There could be an excuse for delaying the meeting for a short period of time, and it would be considered disrespectful to wait for a long time.

Well, Liu Yan didn't have any idea of ​​respecting Shijie's regime, but he didn't know how obvious it was.

The person from Xiangguo, the chief officer is called Zhang Li, and the Han Ministry only knew who Zhang Li was after urgently reviewing the information sent back by Zhang Shi.This guy is Shijie's Shangshu of the Zhao Kingdom. He once personally supervised and beat Yan Gong Shibin three hundred times. He can be regarded as Shihu's confidant and close minister.

There are quite a lot of Shangshu in Zhao Guo in Shijie, so the official position of Shangshu is not conspicuous, and it is necessary to add servants.

Of course, the information from the Han Dynasty was actually out of date. Now Zhang Li should be the right servant and the minister of the fifth army, and he was also starting to work on Baoshi Xuan's thigh.

After Zhang Li came to Xiami, his attitude was extremely arrogant, and he asked for bribes many times. Cai You, who was in charge of entertaining him, satisfied him many times, which made his attitude better.

When Liu Yan met Zhang Li, Zhang Li was hugging left and right.

When Zhang Li saw Liu Yan coming, he still didn't change his normal routine, and continued to play with the actress, pretending to ignore Liu Yan completely.This kind of attitude is actually very insulting. If you have a bad temper, you should turn your face straight away. Even if you have a good temper, you will turn your face bad.

Liu Yan was going to leave with a cold snort, but he turned around and didn't take a few steps when he heard Zhang Li speak in a cold voice.

"What a boy, don't you know that death is imminent?" Zhang Lizai sneered: "The great scholars you bought didn't tell you, the king of heaven has ordered all the soldiers in the world?"

Liu Yan turned to look at Zhang Li who was sneering.

"That's right, it was Liu Zheng who received the order in Qingzhou, and he was killed by you." Zhang Li became giggling again, and at the same time he slapped the female actress to his heart's content: "The state and county of the world, three males dispatched Two people, three out of five, and a million-strong army will gather in no time."

real or fake?Liu Yan only remembered that Fu Jian raised an army of one million, but he didn't know that Shi Hu had also done this.However, Zhang Li really didn't talk nonsense. Shi Hu really did this before Fu Jian gathered millions of people.

That happened before Liu Yan sent his troops to the west, and someone in Qingzhou reported: "The stone tiger in the north of Pingling City, Jinan was moved to the southeast of the city overnight, and there were more than 1000 wolf and fox footprints along the way, and they had stepped out of the path. "

At that time, Shi Hu said happily: "The so-called Shi Hu is I. Migration from the northwest to the southeast shows that God wants me to conquer the south of the Yangtze River. Now the army of all states is ordered to gather next year, and I will personally lead the six divisions to follow the destiny."

The boss has all expressed his opinion, how dare the officials not congratulate him, and [-] people presented the "Ode to the Emperor's Virtue".

Shihu then issued an edict: "For every five soldiers to be conscripted, send out a chariot, two cows, fifteen dendrobiums of rice, and ten bolts of silk. Those who are unprepared will be beheaded."

The people even pawned their children to supply military supplies, but they still couldn't get together, and they hanged themselves from trees on the side of the road and looked at each other from far and near.

That happened last year. This year Liu Yan led his army back to Shijie State of Zhao, and started attacking as soon as he set foot on the land. Zhang Shi didn't know if it was lost or what, and he didn't mention it.

Of course, because it takes time to deliver the order, the prefectures and counties near Jizhou received Shihu's order, and those farther away will be delayed.In Xuzhou, because of the war in Qingzhou, the decree-delivering team from Xiangguo should have been killed during the war. As a result, Xuzhou did not receive the order from Xiangguo, so Guo Xiang raised troops to attack Qingzhou, but since Most of Qingzhou has been captured by Liu Yan, and Zhang Li's team can reach Xiami, so the decree team going to Xuzhou should also have arrived in Xuzhou?

Liu Yan knew something more or less. For example, Shi Hu went crazy and wanted to recruit women and build palaces, but he really didn't know that he ordered the mass transfer of men, let alone asked the soldiers to prepare so many things.

There are rebellions everywhere now, it is nothing more than a lot of people can't survive and can only rebel. So many families in Qingzhou were bewitched by Mr. Gong Tao, knowing that raising the flag of rebellion with Fei Yan would be suppressed, but there are still so many families following, among them Also "rely on" Shi Hu's order.

Liu Yan didn't know many things, but when he found out, he couldn't help being stunned, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

The men are so ruthless that they want to gather an army of one million?Not only that, but the conscripted soldiers have to prepare their own vehicles, cattle, fodder, and cloth?
"Here." Zhang Li didn't know where he put the package before, and he took it out and threw it at Liu Yan: "You must have obtained the Qingzhou governor's seal, and it contains the will of the heavenly king to appoint you as the new Qingzhou governor. There are other matters such as ordering the assembly of young adults."

Liu Yan was still hesitating, and followed Lu Shaoyang who came to observe his face.

Lu Shaoyang thought for a while, walked over to pick up the package, and handed it to Liu Yan in a presenting gesture.

There were two orders in the package. As Zhang Li said, one order was to be canonized as the governor of Qingzhou, and the other order was to order Liu Yan to conduct a random draw for males in Qingzhou. There were also very large requirements, such as vehicles, horses, Cattle, sheep, and other fodder and cloth, even require a large number of weapons.

"You'd better be able to do it." Zhang Li kept sneering: "If you can't do it, a million troops should go to Qingzhou first before going south to attack Jin."

Liu Yan took a deep look at Zhang Li, bowed his hands as a farewell, and turned around to leave without looking back. He could still hear Zhang Li's arrogant laughter behind him.

There are some things that Liu Yan has to figure out, such as why Shi Hu didn't respond to the killing of his trusted minister Liu Zheng, and whether it is true that young and strong are recruited into the army in all states and counties in the world regardless of the consequences.

"Why didn't Mr. Zhang pass the news?" Ji Chang said with a gloomy face, "Such important news didn't come back?"

Why Zhang Shi didn't deliver the news about Shi Hu's all-out war in the world is difficult to understand for the time being. He still needs to send someone to inquire and wait for someone to bring the answer back.

"Regardless of whether the news is true or not, this matter is really too big!" Liu Yan just thought of the pressure of millions of troops on the border, and felt a lot of pressure: "Shijie is just crazy!"

Several people's faces were livid, and they really didn't know what to say for a while.

Only Shihu can do such a thing, and it is not the first time he has done a large-scale recruitment of people regardless of the country's various balances.For example, in the sixth year of Xiankang (340 A.D.), he ordered the people in the seven prefectures of Si, Ji, Qing, Xu, You, Bing, and Yong to choose three out of five men and two out of four. Together with the old army in Yecheng, there are a total of 50 people, and [-] ships are prepared to attack Murong Yan.

Shi Hu really attacked Murong Yan Kingdom, but the army rushed to Liaodong and returned in a disastrous defeat.

"Two males across the country draw one, and what's more, five draws three, and they have to prepare food and fodder by themselves..." Liu Yan didn't know how to describe Shi Hu's madness, he shook a message sent by Shi Hu Purpose: "This lunatic ordered me to gather at least 20 people to wipe out Feiyan's rebel army first, and then go to Xuanwu to listen to the order."

Liu Yan didn't know where Xuanwu was at all, but Shi Hu's order to various prefectures and counties was to go to Xuanwu to assemble.

"Your Majesty..." Sang Yu said with a gloomy expression on his face, "Others may be able to follow the instructions, but if you go, you may lose your head."
