Uncle, please help the Han family

"..."

Damn, it's like praising a child.

My lord is awesome, my lord is amazing, I love it.

Naturally, Liu Yu didn't accept such compliments that humiliated people's self-esteem, and he said quite disdainfully, "That's it? As long as you have hands."

That being said, riding alone can be a little intimidating.

Sitting on a huge living animal, Liu Yu could feel its heavy breath, and as the horse's hooves stepped on the spot, the first-person perspective also began to shake up and down.

The field of vision at this time is really a bit higher than when walking. When riding on a horse, Liu Yu can't help but feel proudly-the world is at my feet.

The scenery inside the school grounds is so grand, what a shocking scene it would be to face Jieshi in the east?

"My lord, let me walk with my lord first..."

"No need."

Liu Yu raised a hand and said seriously.

"My lord?" Zhao Ziyu hesitated for a while, feeling that it was a bit dangerous.But the lord looked so confident, so she let go of her hand, and didn't tell Liu Yu to be careful.

Without Zhao Ziyun leading the horse, Liu Yu grabbed the rein, then leaned down gently, stroking the horse's mane with the palm of his hand, like stroking a docile big cat, pouring all his love on on it.

No wonder a cavalryman regards his mount as his life. After all, this is a comrade-in-arms who is tied to his fate on the battlefield.

"Ji Nai, I also entrust my life to you." Liu Yu casually named the mount, and then patted the horse lightly, "Drive!"

(Ji Nai is named after the centaur heroine Jun Yuan Ji Nai in "Miss Centaur Not Confused")

Following this command, Miss Ji Nai kicked her horse's hooves forward and trotted all the way.

It wasn't that he lost control after being frightened, but that he ran quite steadily under Liu Yu's control.

Wuhu!

It's cool, it's really cool, the feeling of riding a horse is good.

Riding a horse-drawn carriage is actually no different from riding a three-wheeled motorcycle on a bad road. It is not comfortable, but riding a horse is different. It really has a state of mind that is challenging your life.

This kind of feeling can only be realized by personal experience.

"Ji Nai rushes!"

Liu Yu's learning ability has always been good, and he rode nearly a hundred miles with Ziyu that day, so it is not difficult to master it. It only takes a short time for him to learn to turn and turn around easily.

It's just that because of the lack of proficiency, the horse has been kept at a very low speed when running.

But Liu Yu believed that he would be able to lead the army to conquer himself in the future as long as he practiced hard.

"The task assigned by the master to the next, is this considered completed?"

At some point, Zhao Ziyu also rode on her white horse, and chatted with Liu Yu's brown horse.

Being able to take the initiative to joke, this guy seems to have become one with himself.

"Zi Hao, where is the farthest place you have been to?"

Liu Yu held the rein, looked at the distant sky, and asked suddenly.

with

"I'm from Changshan, the farthest place..." Zhao Ziyu, who was riding alongside Liu Yu, thought for a while and replied, "It's only Youzhou from east to west."

Zhao Ziyu probably didn't expect that if she didn't follow her, she, a native of Shijiazhuang, Hebei, would follow another Uncle Liu Huang to travel half of the world, and finally ended up in the distant land of abundance.

General Zi Yu never saw Chang'an in his whole life.

As a spearman, Zilong is lucky, but also sad.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but start to sympathize with this loyal minister who also had the will of the Northern Expedition.

"Zi hazy."

"My lord?"

Because the lord suddenly called his name, and the tone was quite formal, Zhao Ziyu was taken aback for a moment, stopped and walked, and looked at the lord who he had only been with for a few days but felt very familiar with.

Under the slanting sunlight, Liu Yu looked at Zhao Ziyu who knew nothing about his future and destiny, and said heartily, "One day, I will show you all the flowers in Chang'an."

Chapter 14 It's not smart, it's because I have 2000 years more knowledge than you

See all Chang'an flowers in one day.

Zhao Ziyu didn't understand why the lord took her to Chang'an to see flowers, and she didn't say that she wanted to go to Chang'an to see flowers.

But why, why...

Those words make my heart beat so fast.

The last time I felt this way was when I was alone outside the Great Wall and was chased and killed by more than 100 Hu cavalry.

However, it seems to be different.

Clutching her throbbing chest, Zhao Ziyu suddenly couldn't understand her current mood. She only knew one thing - she was really weak now.

The weak ones are like a little girl who is full of joy when she suddenly finds a beautiful flower while picking herbs.

Slowly raising her head, she looked at the state shepherd who had no dignity in front of her, and she didn't know how to place her gaze for a moment.After a long while, he turned his head to look at the head of the white horse, and asked curiously, "My lord, what kind of flowers... are they in Chang'an?"

Of course Liu Yu didn't know what the flowers in Chang'an were like. He just suddenly remembered this ancient poem, so he took it out and said it.

But the Chang'an flower that Zilong in the normal plane did not see, Liu Yu will definitely show her to see it in this timeline.

"I don't know about that either." Liu Yu shook his head and replied casually, "But we definitely want to see it."

The great Han has two capitals, one is Luoyang and the other is Chang'an. If we want to help the Han Dynasty, then we must get the two capitals.

However, with the strength of Youzhou, it is definitely unable to reach the two capitals now.

And what makes people hate it is that after experiencing Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, Luoyang and Chang'an will be burned, and they will be pitiful for the scorched earth.

Damn it, I can't travel to the Han Dynasty even if I can't go to the thousand-year-old ancient capital for sightseeing, will I be burned to death by you people?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu is very angry now, very angry.

"My lord... what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Ziyu saw that Liu Yu's mood seemed to suddenly turn bad, and he was a little concerned about whether it was his own problem.

"It's okay to think of something bad."

Liu Yu pulled himself back to reality, then looked at Zhao Ziyu, changed the subject, and asked, "Ziyu thinks it is possible to form a cavalry force stronger than Gongsun Zan within two years?"

As for this issue, Zhao Ziyu, who is the old white horse righteous follower, has a great say.

After thinking for a while, she replied, "Yes."

"Why is it possible?"

On the contrary, Liu Yu was puzzled. Gongsun Zan had developed in Youzhou for so many years, and was supported by the Gongsun family, the largest family in Youzhou. How could he be easily overtaken by himself, an official who came from another place by air.

Is she talking pretty words to fool me?

"My lord, I don't know. Although Gongsun Zan's army is very powerful and can even compete with the Xiliang iron cavalry, there is actually a very serious problem." What Zhao Ziyu wanted to say was not a secret, but the outsider Liu Yu Obviously don't know.

"what is the problem?"

Liu Yu began to pay attention to it, because this might be extremely beneficial information.

Zhao Ziyu said concisely: "Poor."

"...Poor?" Several question marks appeared next to Liu Yu's head.

In this regard, Zhao Ziyu explained in detail: "Although Gongsun Zan's army has a large number of soldiers, and there are [-] cavalry, they have been facing the problem of food shortage and weapon shortage for a long time. Because the counties in Liaodong are not large counties, the land is vast and The population is sparse, and they simply cannot support the continuous war against Hu."

Zhao Ziyu's words hit the point.

Gongsun Zan has a population of 40 in several counties in eastern Liaodong, but if the refugees are resettled on his own side, the population will reach about 110 million.

To put it another way, one mine is against three mines.

That guy Gongsun Zan did fight often, and he won more than he lost, but basically they were forced to fight, and he was using the entire western Youzhou people to support his army.

The four words of militarism are not wrong at all.

"Compared with the barbarian cavalry, the cavalry of Gongsun Zan's army does not have a great advantage in equipment. The main advantage lies in the quality of the soldiers and the commanding ability of the generals." Zhao Ziyu respects Gongsun Zan very much, but the shortcomings are still sharp. Pointed it out, "But in fact, the white horse is not invulnerable."

"But before, I saw that you fought very easily against three times the number of enemies." Liu Yu was puzzled.

Zhao Ziyu smiled, and replied: "The army of Cheluhui is also the worst type among the barbarians. It is not the main force of Wuhuan at all."

"That should be much stronger than ordinary cavalry."

"This is true, but the gap is not the difference between cloud and mud." Zhao Zilong looked at the horses of uneven quality on the school field, and explained, "The white horse is strong in obedience, one is because all the soldiers ride it. It is a white horse, which gives the enemy a powerful deterrent, making the enemy fearful before fighting. Second, all cavalry bows are made of white mother stone, which is several times more powerful than black weapons. Third, the chosen The soldiers here are all good shooters picked out of ten, and they are elites. Therefore, the combination of the three forms the invincible Baima Yicong."

"Isn't this invincible in the world..."

"There are weaknesses." Zhao Ziyu didn't hide anything because of his identity as a former white horse Yicong, and directly admitted, "Yicong's armor is too bad, no matter whether it is a man or a horse, only a few parts use white mother Stone, other places are either black mother stone or iron. Its armor cannot match the combat effectiveness of this army at all."

Dude, it fits the history.

The Baima Yicong in history was destroyed by Ju Yi's [-] Xiandeng (euphorbia warriors) and [-] strong crossbowmen because of the weak defense of Qingqi, so the arms were restrained.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt that he had to prepare such an army. If Baima Yicong dared to attack me, he would plan to destroy it!

Of course, it would be best if it could be compiled.

Traveling to the Three Kingdoms, who wouldn't want a handsome white horse Yicong?

"If my lord forms a new army, relying on Youzhou's money, grain and taxes, I will be able to create an army that is stronger than Gongsun Zan except for combat experience." Zhao Zilong said firmly.

"Operational experience is also a big issue."

"Well, after all, Gongsun Zan has lived on the border for a long time and was born for war, while the state soldiers mainly defend the city and have never experienced a big battle." Zhao Ziyu didn't step on it, and said it very pragmatically.

"Yes." Regarding this very serious question, Liu Yu thought for a while before he came up with an idea, "Even if there is a mutual market, there will always be a small group of barbarians who commit crimes in the south, and they will send new troops to fight in turn at other times. It's time for training."

This idea came from the rabbit's self-defense counterattack against the monkey. At that time, the seven military regions took turns to train troops.

"..."

Zhao Ziyu was shocked by Liu Yu's casual mention.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Zhao Ziyu didn't have any objection to this plan, but just looked at Liu Yu with wide eyes, admiringly said: "I just lamented the lord's wisdom. In the blink of an eye, I came up with such a clever plan."

well.

This feeling of being admired by a fan girl as "you are so smart" is really awesome.

However, I am not smart, I just have more than 2000 years of experience.

"So, heavy cavalry is stronger than light cavalry?" Liu Yu asked seriously without being overly complacent.

"Heavy cavalry is not only stronger than light cavalry." Zhao Ziyu responded after a short pause, "In my opinion, heavy cavalry is invincible."

"But again, it's also the most expensive." Liu Yu understood very well.

"Yes, General Gongsun Zan once wanted to build an army with dozens of people, but he still couldn't do it, it was too expensive."

It's not just Gongsun Zan who has this idea. After Cao Cao unified the north, he formed an army named Tiger and Leopard Jingqi. Although the number was only about a few hundred, they were all heavily armored and speared.

It is no exaggeration to say that these hundreds of people form a queue, and none of them dare to rush.

But at the same time, because it is too expensive, the maintenance cost and supplementary cost are too high, and it will gradually disappear from the stage of Cao Wei's history in the later period.

And it's worth mentioning that even if they are as strong as tiger and leopard cavalry, they can't be regarded as full-body heavy cavalry, but half-heavy cavalry, because only soldiers are fully armed to the teeth, and horse armor is not fully equipped.

"If it is such a troop, then the armor and weapons must be made of blue mother stone?"

The most important resource in this period is the mother stone, because the overall weapon quality has been improved by a level, so if the defense power is to be full, you have to use more powerful metals.

"Well, otherwise, neither attack nor defense will be able to gain an absolute advantage." Zhao Ziyu was stunned as he spoke, and then looked at Liu Yu in astonishment, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that my lord wants to ..."

"But not too many."

"...a small amount of recruitment is fine." Zhao Ziyu was relieved now, and then asked, "Then what scale will my lord build this heavy cavalry unit?"

Of course, you need to have a famous name.

Liu Yu, who already had a blueprint in his heart, said bluntly: "Youyun Eighteen Riders."
