Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Don't you know, my lord, that if we attack Beihai County in Qingzhou, we may have a conflict with Xuzhou's garrison." Huang Zhong pointed to the map on the table and said, "The south of Qingzhou borders Xuzhou. There will be fears that there will be conflicts."

When only Han Zhan and Huang Zhong were left in the conference hall, Huang Zhong asked cautiously: "Master, the general just heard you tell Yuan Tan that Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang only obey his orders. In this way Will it cause Yuan Tan to clash with his second brother Yuan Xi after gaining a firm foothold in Nanpi?"

Han Zhan didn't expect Huang Zhong to see his arrangement, so he said with a smile: "Han Sheng, the reason why I let Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang only obey Yuan Tan's order is to make the brothers quarrel, so no matter what Whoever controls Bohai County in the future will not be able to send troops to attack Jizhou."

"It turns out to be like this." After Huang Zhong figured out Han Zhan's intentions, he nodded and asked again: "My lord, if we want to capture Qingzhou, do we need to inform Xuzhou Mu Taoqian so that our army and the Xuzhou army will not have any conflicts?" Misunderstand?"

Chapter 324 Yuan Xi's Careful Thoughts

After Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang assembled their soldiers and horses in the school field, they thought Han Zhan would come to tell them a few words.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, only Rob came.

Seeing Rob's arrival, the two hurriedly cupped their hands at him on horseback and asked politely, "I don't know what orders my lord has?"

"My lord said," Rob replied, "If the two young masters of the Yuan family have packed their bags, they should set out immediately, without any mistakes!"

"The general obeys orders!" Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang agreed in unison, then urged their horses to come in front of Brother Yuan Tan, cupped their fists and said to them, "Young Master Yuan, let's go."

Like the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, Yuan Tan thought that Han Zhan would come out to talk to him before leaving, but he was somewhat disappointed that he only sent one of his men to come.At this moment, when Lu Kuang said that he was going to set off, he nodded and walked forward as soon as he strangled the mount under his crotch.

The soldiers and horses left Yecheng and headed north along the official road.Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan walked side by side, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I wonder if you have noticed that the war horses used by the Jizhou cavalry are different from ours."

"It's not the same, why is it different?" Yuan Tan was taken aback when he heard Yuan Xi say this, and then he understood what was going on: "That's right, I almost ignored it if you didn't tell me. Jizhou war horses use high and low saddles. , It is very stable during riding; also, they have stepping things on the saddle, when we get on the horse, we don’t need to mount the horse, which is really convenient. I don’t know who came up with these things.”

"Who else could it be?" Yuan Xi smiled wryly, and said, "I asked the soldiers, and they said that these stirrups and saddles were all thought up by Han Tinghou. Iron palms, so that the cavalry will no longer be afraid of the rough ground when charging."

After Yuan Tan heard what Yuan Xi had said, he was silent for a long time, and then he said: "Second brother, when we get to Nanpi, we have to equip the cavalry with these horseshoes, stirrups and saddles no matter what. From then on, we will not fall behind."

Hearing Yuan Tan mentioning Baima Yicong, Yuan Xi sneered and said, "What is Baima Yicong? Last time when they confronted General Quyi's crossbow formation, they were defeated. If they hadn't relied on their horses to escape quickly It is estimated that the entire army has been wiped out long ago."

"You can't say that," Yuan Tan had carefully studied Qu Yi's battle against Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness, and now hearing Yuan Xi's nonchalant comment, he scolded him and said: "At that time, Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong had just rushed over from the boundary bridge, and he had not had time to reorganize his team, and his horse speed was not fast, so Qu Yi could use crossbowmen to severely damage the troops. If he met Yi Cong on a white horse on the plain, Qu Yi's soldiers and horses would There is also the danger of annihilation of the entire army."

Yuan Tan's words reminded Yuan Xi, he calmed down and thought about it carefully, and found that his elder brother's analysis was somewhat reasonable.So he nodded and said: "It seems that in the field, if you want to defeat Baima Yicong, you can only rely on cavalry."

"That's right." Yuan Tan nodded and said, "As long as our cavalry is equipped with stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes, their combat power will be greatly improved. Think about it, those cavalry must be grasped with one hand when they charge. Can the cavalry who hold the horse's rein to stabilize the body be compared with our cavalry who hold weapons in both hands?"

Yuan Xi glanced at Lu Kuang in front of him, and continued: "Brother, brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang are our old troops. I wonder if we can bring them together for my use. In this way, we can deal with Gongsun Zan's thief, It’s more sure.”

"This may not be possible." Yuan Tan knew very well in his heart that although Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang escorted his brother back to Nanpi, and in the next two months, he would obey his orders, but if he wants to The two of them betrayed themselves again, so don't even think about it. "According to Brother Yu's observation, the two are loyal to Han Tinghou. It is almost impossible to persuade them to surrender. Let's not take this risk. If the two are angered, they will return to Yecheng with troops. We want to control the South Pi's plan will fail, and we will become lambs waiting to be slaughtered by Xianfu."

"Brother, I think, if possible, it's better for the younger brother to test them." Yuan Xi thought that when he was in Yecheng, Han Zhan asked Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to only obey Yuan Tan's orders, and he was quite dissatisfied in his heart, so He always wanted to win the two of them together, so he took the initiative to propose to Yuan Tan: "It's fine if you don't succeed; if my younger brother is lucky enough to persuade the two of you, then it will be like a tiger with wings added to us."

Chapter 325

Du Bo, who was sent as a messenger this time, rushed back quickly.But his bruised nose and swollen face startled Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.Lu Kuang asked in surprise: "What's going on, who beat you like this?"

"Who else could it be? Naturally, it's the guard of Jieqiao!" Du Bo said angrily, "The little one told him about borrowing the way, but he not only refused to borrow the way, but even asked someone to hit the little one with a stick. "

"Where's the first group of messengers I sent?" Lu Kuang couldn't help asking angrily when he saw that Du Bo had fled back alone, "Where are the soldiers following you?"

Du Bo said sadly: "They were all killed by the Jieqiao guard."

After Lu Kuang heard the news, he couldn't help being surprised: "Why?"

Du Bo looked at Lu Kuang, and said with a resentful expression: "If you go back to the general, the general told the young man that this is the territory of Youzhou. We led our troops into Youzhou without Gongsun Zan's prior consent." The site, he will never let us go."

"Damn it, it's really hateful." Lu Kuang said furiously, "Jizhou and Youzhou are allies in name no matter what. The guard of Jieqiao dared to kill my subordinates. It's really deceitful."
