The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Originally, there were hundreds of horses among the people here, including three hundred war horses. Brother Yu is planning to rely on this to form three hundred Xianbei followers." Guan Yu also mentioned his idea by the way. If there were cavalry, at least it would not be so passive.

"Is there a horse farm here in Dingxiang?" Liu Tao also asked casually.

"This is also what I want to report. I plan to build a horse farm in the near future to increase the number of horses." Guan Yu quickly reported that around Dingxiang, there are mountains more than ten miles away. If you want to raise horses, you can only find a place to the west. building.

If you really want to count, between Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County is Yuanyang County, and about 25 miles below Yuanyang County is Chengle County. That area is indeed suitable for raising horses.

In other words, the area from Chengle County to Shaling County is very suitable for raising horses.At the same time, the beans planted in winter can also be used to feed horses to increase the physical strength of war horses.You can also consider mowing grass in the forest as a reserve.

"Wujin County, it has not been built yet, and the rear is not yet stable, so it is not suitable for establishing a large-scale breeding farm." Liu Tao thought for a while, "Small-scale ones can be established, and they will gradually expand in the future."

"Here!" Guan Yu nodded.

"Next year, I will send five hundred cavalry to each of Beiyu and Dingxiang counties. I plan to rebuild Wujin County, and even Wuquan County, and then send people to guard them. I hope you can govern these four counties as if, Are you confident?" Liu Tao asked.

"Of course!" Guan Yu nodded, even a little excited.

Chapter 306 A Rare Gathering of Three Brothers

(PS: subtitle 'Lu Yan fainted in the toilet')

Since the defense of the four counties is required to be the governor, the power will naturally be greatly increased, but the number of people deployed will also be greatly increased.

What Guan Yu was most afraid of when guarding Dingxiang County was that he was alone and without support from the surrounding troops. If this problem can be solved, then it will not be difficult to guard Dingxiang County.

"In addition, there are 1000 people on your side. Purely defending the city is useless. This time Xianbei came here, and it has been proved that they did not regard the siege as their top priority. So even if you keep a thousand soldiers in the city, it is still useless." Meaning." Liu Tao reminded.

"It's still a little difficult to just let the pawns go out of the city to fight them." Guan Yu could only explain that it wasn't the time when Liu Tao was under his command.

"Set up beacon tower warnings in important places, and set up several checkpoints at the same time. If possible, build traps, traps, and fences one after another." Liu Tao gave advice.

The Great Wall will definitely not be built, but defensive facilities, such as the Walled City, can be built one after another.Whether it is early warning or blocking the speed of the enemy's advance, it has a certain effect.

In the follow-up, it is necessary to communicate with Guan Yu. For example, set up a camp, take good defensive measures, and then garrison with a hundred cavalry. When the Xianbei people come, you can consider shooting with a crossbow first, and then quickly flee away on horseback...

Coupled with the early warning of beacon towers and the dispatch of large forces, countless tactics can be produced if used well.

"Foolish brother, be taught!" Similar conversations continued until late at night, and ended with Guan Yu suddenly realizing and being taught happily.

"If there is a shortage of food and armor, you can report it at any time. No matter what, I will make up for you first." Liu Tao said in a low voice. After all, this kind of thing can only be said in private by brothers.

Otherwise, in public, openly favoring someone like this may cause dissatisfaction among other generals.It's not a big problem, just relying on connections to go through the back door will somewhat affect the reputation of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

People are so complicated, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ability is obviously not inferior to them, and they reached this height by their own ability.But many people just like to maliciously spread rumors that the two came up because of their relationship.

"If necessary, I will naturally not be polite to my elder brother." Guan Yu said with a smile.

"Then..." Liu Tao looked at Zhang Fei, who was about to fall asleep, "After finishing the official business, the rest of the time is not nonsense, it's rare for the three of us to get together, how about some wine?"

"Drink? I want it!" Zhang Fei got up suddenly, apparently subconsciously responding to the 'wine'.

"Yide, this alcohol addiction has to be quit." Liu Tao complained, drinking when he is happy, drinking when he is unhappy, drinking when he is anxious, drinking when he is happy, drinking seems to be integrated into Zhang Fei's genes .

"I haven't had a good drink for a few days..." Zhang Fei retorted, and he drank a little in private, and the amount was clearly controlled.Thanks to Jiuxianniang's high-grade wine, if it's the old kind of water wine, it's not enjoyable at all if you don't drink a jar of five catties and ten catties!

It's just that to some extent, distilled alcohol actually consumes more food.

"I won't talk about you tonight. I brought three altars of Jiuxian Brewing over here, and let's drink it!" Liu Tao laughed, "Next year, I will load some sorghum properly, and then use it to make wine. The sorghum stalks can also be chopped up for green storage Feed is good for raising horses or livestock."

Compared with wheat and so on, baijiu still uses sorghum.Corn is also fine, and the corn of this year is probably only suitable for feeding livestock and making wine... provided that it can be obtained.

The improvement and evolution of species takes time. Perhaps in the Mayan civilization, the yield of corn that has been screened and tamed will be higher, but it is not much higher than wild corn, and the taste is not as good.

Liu Tao still remembers the yellow corn he ate when he was a child, and he had to grind it into powder to eat it, and it would break his teeth if he bit his teeth directly.When I grew up more than ten years later, the corn I ate at that time no longer had such a hard yellow corn, and some were also sweet corn.

"I understand using sorghum to make wine... but the silage fodder... Forget it, I'm not interested in hearing about government affairs." Zhang Fei was a little curious at first, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to hear it anymore.

"It's a way to crush the forage, put it in the cellar, compact it, and store it in the cellar, and then feed it to the livestock in winter. If you master this technique, even if the water and grass wither due to heavy snow in winter, you can still have enough fodder to feed the cattle. Sheep and horses." Liu Tao briefly explained.

"If there is this, then even if there is no large-scale horse farm, it will be fine?" Guan Yu will soon understand the benefits of this thing.

It was said before that the establishment of a horse farm is not only for the horses to run, but the key is to have more forage for the horses to eat.If silage feed is used to meet the needs of horses and even other livestock, then there is no need to build such a large horse farm.

"That's true. At the same time, we can use the brewing industry as a special product in the cloud. Whether we trade with Xianbei or transport it to the Central Plains, we can make a fortune." Liu Tao nodded.

"Elder brother is still elder brother. If we can think so thoughtfully, the two of us can't do anything." Guan Yu sighed, it doesn't matter to conquer the world, he and Zhang Fei can do it.It is too troublesome to govern the world, and it is the first time for the two of them to hear many ways.

"Drinking, drinking, it's not time for official business!" Zhang Fei hurriedly interrupted, because he really didn't want to talk about official business.

Just what are these meats for, the three of them drank like this.It was also a few months since we didn't get together, so naturally we drank very happily.It is necessary to talk to Guan Yu about the changes in Yunzhong County now.

"Third brother, that Lu Bu is very arrogant, that is to say, if he beats me in a horse battle, he will look down on others. If you have time, fight him and show him off!" Zhang Fei drank a jar of wine, and his whole body was already a little faint. drunk.Express your dissatisfaction while you're half-drunk.

"Then Lu Bu is brave, and his strength is indeed top-notch. Like the fourth brother, he is very suitable to be a pioneer." Liu Tao explained.

"Brother arranged that Zhang Liao to be under my command before, and I heard about Lu Bu from him. If there is a chance, I would like to meet him!" Guan Yu expressed his understanding. After all, Zhang Liao admired Lu Bu more during this period. Mention this person.

"Come over to Yunzhong for the next rotation!" Liu Tao didn't refuse, "I'll arrange for you to play a game at that time. Anyway, after winter, I think Xianbei will not come again until spring."

The five thousand Xianbei disappeared without a sound. Whether it was the Budugen department or the Kebineng department, they should not dare to attack on a large scale until they figure out what is true and false in the cloud.No way, he would take the initiative to contact him and win him over as an ally.

Among other things, trade relations must be established. Liu Tao originally planned to exchange high-quality wine for enough livestock and horses to the maximum extent.

According to the principle of far-distance and close-attack, it is most appropriate to make friends with Ke Bieng, and then deal with Budugen together.But he hadn't contacted the other party yet, and 5000 people called, and they didn't know the situation, whether Ke Bineng knew it himself.

The regime in the grassland is relatively loose, and the main one is still in charge of each family.Sometimes some families will spontaneously fight grass valleys, even the leader himself doesn't know, and even if he knows, he won't say anything, it's a habit.

It's just that if he can only attack from a close distance, to be honest, he will lose some money, so he should avoid it as much as possible.

"That's good!" On Guan Yu's side, after listening to Liu Tao's words, he nodded and replied, "Next time I take a rest, I will go to Yunzhong County in person to meet Lu Bu!"

Chapter 307 Liu Hong Has a Headache

Guan Yu and Lu Bu are competing on the school field in Yunzhong County.Both of them were about the same height, they belonged to the tall and mighty type, and at the same time, they had absolute confidence in their own martial arts.

"Kill!" The two sides shouted loudly and rushed towards each other quickly.

The Qinglong Yanyue Saber and Fang Tian's Halberd staggered in mid-air, and both sides tried their best in this blow.But as far as the result is concerned, it can only be regarded as a tie.

"General Lu's weapon seems to have been cast not long ago?" After passing by, Guan Yu turned his horse around and shouted.

"Thanks to the love of the lord, give me this Fangtian painting halberd!" Lu Bu nodded in response. This weapon was handed over to him as a reward from the previous battle.It was Liu Tao who commissioned Su to make it, and also used meteorite iron.

It is slightly different from the Crescent Halberd used before. It is more complicated to use and has greater changes. It is not easy to play well.But Lu Bu just likes it, and there is a kind of love from the depths of his soul.

"Brother's bad habit..." Guan Yu probably understood, so he raised the Yanyue Dao in his hand, "This weapon, named Qinglong Yanyue Dao, was designed and built by my brother, and was later carefully cast by the Su family of Zhongshan according to the original template. made."

Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard the words, and said that the weapon was a bit strange, it looked very heavy, and no one would be able to afford it before changing it.After all, that kind of weapon requires a lot of strength, and it is difficult to use it on horseback. After all, the stirrups and saddles were not qualified before.
