I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

No one knows a son better than a father, but he knows that something is going to happen to Liu Feng.

"I did think of some strategies to further expand the Han Dynasty. First of all, the capital Luoyang must be returned, and the first step is to send generals to collect Hulao Pass."

Liu Feng smiled when he heard the words, and said.

"Hiss." Liu Xie suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Feng in shock.

Take Hulaoguan, and return to Luoyang?That's right, this is the way to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

This is Xudu, the capital of Cao Cao.And their capital of the present Han Dynasty was established by Emperor Guangwu, Luoyang.

Returning the capital to Luoyang is the first step in the real revival of the Han Dynasty.

There is nothing more important than this, just like their father and son changed the year name set by Cao Cao, Jian'an.

It is the same as Wu Lue.

It is the way to go.

But at this time, under the pressure of Cao Cao, this son still took this step firmly and occupied Hulao Pass first.

Big ambitions, big astonishing.

Chapter 636

"That's right, returning to the old capital Luoyang is the real revitalization of the Han Dynasty. It also cuts Cao Cao's power in two, making Chang'an unable to communicate with Yanzhou. But the problem is that we don't have many troops first. If we send generals to guard Hulao Pass, I'm afraid Xu will not have enough troops."

Liu Xie's heart was also very excited, but he still had some doubts.

"It's okay. Although we lost a lot in the attack on Xudu. But also, the combat effectiveness of our field soldiers is gradually taking shape. After Lu Su left, we still had 5 people. As long as Zhao Yun is sent to guard Hulao Pass, then There is no problem."

Liu Feng said with a smile.

Speaking of this, Liu Feng paused, and then said: "In addition to guarding the Hulao Pass, we fall into the northern cities. Xudu, Yingchuan, Wancheng, etc. all need sufficient food, otherwise it will be difficult for Cao Cao's cavalry How long will it be guarded? This requires the mobilization of food from Xiangyang, Hanzhong, and Xinye. Tomorrow morning, the ministers will ask the father to mobilize the food, and I will ask the father to agree."

"no problem."

Liu Xie agreed without hesitation.

"In addition to this, I feel that we should form cavalry. In Xinye, I still have thousands of war horses and thousands of poor horses. I can choose a good general to train them into an army. Although we sharpen our guns in battle, it is better than nothing."

Finally, Liu Feng said.

"Just Dong Cheng." Liu Xie nodded.

The father and son fully reached a consensus.

Zhao Yun was sent into Hulao Pass, food from the south was mobilized into Xudu, and Dong Cheng was ordered to set up cavalry.

"However, the temporarily built cavalry has limited combat effectiveness. Should we also build a crossbowman?" At the end, Liu Xie asked again.

"Although the crossbowmen are a sharp weapon against the cavalry, we have to wait for Cao Cao's army to charge and kill them. Otherwise, the crossbowmen are useless outside, so forget it. As for the temporary establishment of the cavalry, there is no combat effectiveness, my son. There are already countermeasures."

Liu Feng was confident when he heard this.

As Liu Xie said, it takes at least one year for a cavalry to form basic combat effectiveness, and it takes at least two or three years to become an elite.Some of Cao Cao's elite cavalry have even been established for more than ten years.

Just like tiger and leopard riders, that's it.

Although Liu Feng sharpened his gun in front of the battle, he was unhappy, but if he wanted to compete with the opponent's cavalry, he had to come up with a clever strategy.

And Liu Feng did have a clever strategy.

"Can this cavalry be quick?" Liu Xie asked with interest in his eyes.

"Yes." Liu Feng said with certainty.

Immediately, Liu Feng took out two pieces of Caihou paper from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Xie, and said with a smile: "This is a wonderful strategy."

"What is this?" Liu Xie reached out to take it, but he looked puzzled.

On Caihou's paper, there are two sketches drawn.Liu Feng knew that those were stirrups and horseshoes, which were the basic equipment of cavalry in later generations.

But now it doesn't exist.

Liu Feng had already started thinking about and building these two things.But before there were materials, there were no war horses.Later, Liu Feng blackmailed a group of war horses from Cao Cao and returned, and then he began to pay attention.

However, it entered the period of the Northern Expedition before manufacturing started.

Now facing the powerful threat of Cao Cao's cavalry, Liu Feng decided to build horseshoes and stirrups to support the cavalry's fighting.Although a cavalry is definitely not an opponent of Cao Cao's tens of thousands of cavalry, it is better to have than to have nothing.

Volume 160 Chapter 1278: Chapter 636 Builder (2)

This is what Liu Feng thinks.However, Liu Feng was not without concerns. Even the grassland people who claimed to be a nation on horseback would use the stirrups and horseshoes.

Because of the horseshoes and stirrups, their equestrian skills will improve a lot.

If during the battle, the stirrups and horseshoes were taken away by Cao Cao's cavalry, then Cao Cao's cavalry would be even stronger, and their volleys would be the best in the world.

This is not a small risk.

But in the end, these two blueprints were still in the hands of Liu Xie, and Liu Feng and Liu Xie had no way out.Only victories, continuous victories, and victories can keep the power today, otherwise, if it falls into the hands of Cao Cao, it will no longer be a puppet, but a real corpse.

"This son is called a stirrup. Father, if a cavalry step on this stirrup, not only can they get on and off the horse quickly, but also when the cavalry is galloping, the cavalry's feet can be fixed by this stirrup, and both hands can leave the horse at the same time, or Run at the gallop, or engage the enemy with spears in hand. With this, our cavalry will do no harm."

Liu Feng smiled and explained the function of the stirrup to Liu Xie. After speaking, Liu Xie's eyes lit up.

"Good thing, good thing." Liu Xie shook his hands and held the stirrup drawing tightly in his hand. Liu Xie didn't understand cavalry fighting, but he was good at bow and horse, and knew what Liu Feng's drawing meant to cavalry. .

"The most important thing is that this can help new cavalrymen adapt to cavalry combat more quickly." Afterwards, Liu Feng's eyes flashed and he said.

"En." Liu Xie nodded, thinking about it in his mind, it was indeed the truth.

"This is a horseshoe." After introducing the stirrups, Liu Feng began to introduce the horseshoe. He pointed to Cai Houzhi with the horseshoe on it and said.

"Our war horses can adapt to long-term raids, but the problem is that there will be countless war horses on the way, because the horseshoes are injured, and they are forced to abandon them. This not only affects the loss of war horses, but also affects the quality of riding battles. For example Said, we have to attack from Xudu, thousands of miles away on the way. We dispatched 5000 cavalry from Xudu. Under normal circumstances, only [-] cavalry actually reached Wancheng. Stop. But what if there is a way to get all the cavalry to reach Wancheng? This combat power will be completely different. This horseshoe is the effect."

Liu Xie's gaze became brighter, and he held the two blueprints tightly with both hands.

In my mind, I imagined that Cao Cao's cavalry were galloping outside and around Xudu City, attacking the city and conquering the territory.But their cavalry, carrying ten days' worth of food, went on an expedition and made a detour.

With the scene of destroying a large number of cavalry of Cao Jun.

As long as there is this stirrup and horseshoe, it is not completely impossible.

"How do I use this horseshoe?" Liu Xie asked after taking a deep breath.
