Fortunately, Liu Tao selected [-] not-so-good horses from the captured war horses, entrusted Mrs. Zhang to help sell them, and the money he earned was directly distributed as rewards.As for the weapons and leather armor of the Xianbei cavalry, half of them were sent to Zhang Yan, and some of them were repaired and sold to big local households for another profit.
Big households in Bianjun are good. Others stockpile antiques and they stockpile weapons and equipment. If it wasn't for security concerns, Liu Tao really planned to sell all weapons and leather armor to them.
Not only the big households, but also the people in the border counties are also martial artists, no matter how poor they are, they will choose to buy a dagger or a dagger.Conditional weapons and armor, even bows and arrows will be prepared.In case Xianbei came over, there would be no room for resistance.
Liu Tao thinks that it's not just the border counties, but the people who are close to the mountains, such as Mount Tai and Danyang.There is little arable land, or there are many thieves, so the common people have to practice martial arts in order to protect themselves. The so-called martial arts are actually forced out by the environment.
"Over there in Liangzhou, it seems that the imperial court has not agreed yet..." After reading the content of the imperial decree, there was no content about Liangzhou's side, Liu Tao was somewhat dissatisfied.
"I'm not in a hurry, maybe it's just because it's winter, so the court didn't think it was necessary to transfer us there at this time." Xun Yu stepped forward and said.
"It's also possible that they intend to give Huangfu Songbu another chance to perform well. Judging from this memorial, the imperial court has already recognized the lord's ability. If there is no accident next year, we should have a chance to perform well." Guo Jia laughed.
"Since that's the case, after you go back, everyone should prepare according to the standards for dispatching troops next year. Don't neglect the training of soldiers, and don't be complacent just because you won two games!" Liu Tao urged.
After all, the current combat power of the army is largely supported by his magic.Another part is that Xianbei didn't expect that the cavalry under his command could not only ride and shoot, but also had a significant improvement in collision ability, so they suffered a big loss.
If this kind of battle is fought a few more times, it is estimated that the opponent will be able to fully adapt, provided that there are enough survivors to escape back.
"My lord!" Jian Yong came over in a hurry, "Beiyu sent a letter, saying that Budugen, the leader of Xianbei, hopes to talk to the lord at Beiyu..."
Chapter 309
It's almost November, and five days ago, the snow was falling one after another. At this time, Bu Dugen, one of the three leaders of Xianbei, actually invited himself to meet at Beiyu...
"How many people did they come?" Liu Tao was more concerned about this. According to the result, an all-out war might be waged.
Originally, it was considered that Kebi could come from the southeast as the vanguard.Then Budugen went south again, but the biggest problem was that the previous battle seemed too exciting for the group of Xianbei people, one or two were either stupid or crazy.
In the end, they didn't even know if they were the Ke Bineng Department.As for whether there is an agreement with Budugen, there is no way of knowing.
Follow-up Huang Zhong from Beiyu has been on guard in the Yinshan area for a few days, but has not found any trace of the thief, so Liu Tao finally lifted the guard and planned to devote himself to the winter.Unexpectedly, it took more than 20 days before they came.
"Currently, there is only a team of less than 1000 people. It is not ruled out that there are more enemy troops in the Yinshan Mountains." Jian Yong looked at the military newspaper before raising his head to report.
"Since the other party only brought one thousand, then we should also bring one thousand over here." Liu Tao thought for a while, "In order not to say that we are afraid of them!"
In fact, the main force has already been stationed in Yuanyang County, or it has not been withdrawn.It was supposed to be withdrawn after the next year, who made Xianbei always like to go south in autumn and winter...
"Master, in this case, there is no need to go there in person, right? You just need to send an envoy to contact him." Xun Yu was a little worried, so he came forward to persuade him.
"To show weakness to the enemy is to calculate the other party. Although I really want to send troops to fight there and plunder the grassland, our Majesty obviously will not agree. Therefore, peace on the border is still very important." Liu Tao shook his head.
The order has not yet collapsed, which means that many things have to follow the order, unless he publicly clamors for rebellion.It's only been a few years since he came and went, there is no need to play so big, and besides his current background, it is not enough to support him to rebel.
The matter was settled like this, and Xun Yu couldn't continue to persuade him.Liu Tao led his army to set off the next day to Beiyu County.
Five hundred cavalry archers and five hundred personal guards accompanied the army.When necessary, more than 1000 people from Beiyu County will go out of the city to support them. At the same time, if there is no news for two days, the soldiers from Yuanyang County will go north as soon as possible.
Outside Beiyu County, Bu Dugen and Liu Tao met formally for the first time.It's just that the atmosphere on both sides doesn't seem so friendly, or rather, everyone is wary of each other.
"Boss Budugen, I didn't expect that I hadn't paid a visit, but Your Excellency came here on his own initiative." Liu Tao rode forward in person, with only Zhang Fei and Yang She by his side.
The former has a vicious look, which can be regarded as a window dressing.The latter looked calm and relaxed, but in fact he was ready to bend his bow and shoot arrows at any time.From the current distance, only one arrow is needed to kill Budugen!
"Yunzhong County is my hunting ground, of course I can come here casually." The latter replied casually, extremely arrogant, and because of this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
"Coincidentally, this general also really wants to go hunting in the grassland, I wonder if your Excellency welcomes you?" Liu Tao said jokingly.
"If you have the ability, you are welcome at any time!" Budugen burst out laughing when he heard this.
"It seems that Your Excellency is planning to declare war?" Liu Tao asked.
"Declaration of war... In fact, it's nothing to declare war..." Bu Dugen looked at Liu Tao in front of him. This young man didn't look like a warrior. "As far as I know, you have only been in Yunzhong County for more than half a year. Time. If I go south with all the power of the tribe, are you likely to resist?"
"It depends on the extent of your so-called power of the whole clan." Liu Tao smiled, "Just half a month ago, our side wiped out another five thousand, and Ke Bineng who dared to enter Yunzhong County cavalry."
Bu Dugen was taken aback when he heard the words, then frowned.Obviously, he didn't know about those 5000 people.
He will go south, mainly to seek justice for the tribesmen. According to the tribesmen who fled back, these despicable Han people launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night, and only then defeated the 2000 of them.In their view, a sneak attack is not considered brave, so they look down on Liu Tao.
But if he defeated [-] cavalry in an upright manner, then that's another story.In other words, if the Han army can really defeat the [-] Xianbei cavalry in an upright manner, then it is already considered a certain threat.
If you want to start a war, at least tens of thousands of people must be used to start. It may not be beneficial to win, after all, the number of people killed in battle is estimated to be quite a lot.If he loses, his power will be weakened. Kebi can hope that he will be weakened.
"Your Excellency, don't lie to me. I just experienced a big battle in more than 20 days..." Budugen immediately found a problem, "Why do the soldiers behind your Excellency not look like they did after the big battle?"
According to past experience, to eliminate [-] Xianbei cavalry, at least thousands of Han army casualties must be paid.Looking at the cavalry behind Liu Tao now, everyone is in high spirits, and they don't look like they looked like after the war just now.
"Hahaha..." Liu Tao laughed, and then Zhang Fei and others also laughed.
"What's so funny?" Budugen felt a little uncomfortable, so he shouted.
"It's so stupid to laugh at you!" Liu Tao laughed, "The five thousand Xianbei cavalry were wiped out by our army, and none of them were able to go back. In addition, our army didn't have a single casualty, so that's why we have the spirit we have now, I understand. No?"
"How...how is this possible?" Bu Dugen was a little confused for a moment. When did the world change so fast?
"Of the [-] Xianbei cavalry, [-] were deducted and sent to Luoyang to report meritorious service. I piled up the other [-] into the Jingguan, which is near Dingxiang County. If you have a chance, you can go and have a look." Liu Tao laughed.
Hearing what he said, Bu Dugen was a little uncertain about the truth.However, seeing that the soldiers behind Liu Tao were full of fighting spirit, he was more inclined to believe these words.
If this is the case, this Han army that came over half a year ago is probably not easy to mess with!If you fight directly, you will probably suffer a loss, but you don't want the source of soldiers in Yunzhong, and you are not reconciled.The current strategy is to maximize the benefits.
"Haha, maybe there is a chance to go there in the future." Bu Dugen laughed immediately, "Maybe the general misunderstood, I am waiting for this trip south, I just hope to discuss with the general, open the border market, and exchange information... ..."
This attitude really changed fast enough, Liu Tao complained in his heart.However, if you open a border market, you can also consider it.
"If it's a fair deal, then of course I welcome it..." Liu Tao thought for a while and replied, "But there are conditions!"
"Let's hear it!" Bu Dugen also felt that it was expected after hearing the words, so he signaled Liu Tao to continue.
"The frontier market can start outside Beiyu County, but your soldiers must not come within fifty miles of Beiyu County, otherwise it will be regarded as an active declaration of war, and we can fight back freely." Liu Tao reminded, "In addition, every batch comes The number of tribesmen who are trading cannot exceed one hundred! And during the trading process, they are not allowed to wander around, otherwise we can arrest them!"
Chapter 310 Liu Tao's Scheme
"Your Excellency, is this too domineering?" Bu Dugen frowned upon hearing this.Whether it's okay or not, this arrangement is indeed a bit too bullying for Xianbei.
"We are not that close yet. In view of the previous relationship between the two parties, I have to be responsible for the people of Yunzhong County. Perhaps, after a few years, we can relax a little bit, and it depends on the performance of the leader of Budugen." Liu Tao replied.
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, several tribes can elect a number of representatives to help with unified procurement. In this way, the number of people does not need to be too large. Arrange your people to meet up fifty miles away, which can be reached in a day or two ,What are you afraid of?"
Bu Dugen was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was indeed the case.But he is worried about Liu Tao, or he doesn't trust the Han people.
Therefore, he added one more item: "If there are casualties on our side, it will be deemed that you have started the war on your own initiative!"
"I don't guarantee this. What if you intentionally hurt someone, then falsely accuse us of hurting, and then go to war maliciously? Or, the people who came here burned, killed and looted in Beiyu, or violated the Han law. What if you use the excuse of starting a war even if Lu is arrested?" Liu Tao asked back.
"Even if he committed a crime, since he is a member of our tribe, he should be handed over to us for punishment." Bu Dugen didn't intend to back down.
