Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 78, Nanhua Old Immortal

Chinese army tent.

As the war comes to an end, the generals are making arrangements to detain the prisoners.

Liu Bei was worried about how to deal with the large number of prisoners captured by the Baibo bandits, because it was impossible for all 30,000 people to be integrated into the Bingzhou Army.

First of all, Baibo's army was mixed with good and bad, mixed with many young and old, which was one of the main reasons why its combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the official army.

Secondly, Bingzhou was not richer than other states and counties and could not support so many troops, even if Liu Bei had the support of the wealthy Mi Zhu.

Counting the standing armies of other states and counties, the total strength of Bingzhou has exceeded 50,000. If these 30,000 prisoners are added, it will reach a huge number of 80,000.

But if they are released, they have to worry about being reunited by someone with intentions and becoming the new White Wave Army.

Guo Jia suggested: "Food is the most important thing for the people. My lord might as well allocate land to them. With the land, there is no need to worry about them gathering together to make trouble again."

This is a good idea, but the problem is...

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "How can there be any extra land in Bingzhou to give them?"

Although Bingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, the land is in the hands of powerful families, so you can't just force it directly, right?

Even if Liu Bei spent his whole life fighting in his previous life, he would not dare to challenge the noble family easily.

It's not that their army is powerful, but that the aristocratic family class controls almost 99% of the ruling class in the world. If they are enemies of the aristocratic family, not to mention how much resistance they will encounter in the future progress, they will not be able to pass the current hurdle.

Once this starts, all the aristocratic families in Bingzhou will unite to fight against him, paralyzing the political level of each county.

At that time, Liu Bei will still have to bow his head. He can't let the army govern the people, right?

Guo Jia took a step forward and said with a smile: "Yes, my lord, has he forgotten that no one cares about the cultivated land in the Yanmen area in the northern part of Bingzhou?"

"North?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The north is often invaded by barbarians, and the people who farm here may not be able to wait for the harvest."

Once the Hu people know that there is cultivated land on the border, even if they strengthen defense, it will be difficult to completely eliminate it. As long as there is a flaw in any place, these cultivated lands will disappear overnight, and I am afraid it will have the opposite effect.

Guo Jia said calmly: "So we want them to dare not invade south, at least not to come to Bingzhou."

"Fengxiao means..."

Liu Bei suddenly understood. Guo Jia not only planned to use troops against the Southern Huns, but also did not intend to let go of the Xianbei people. He wanted to take the initiative to attack and inflict pain and fear on the barbarians!

Thinking of this, a light flashed in his eyes.

Fenglangjuxu?

However, this matter cannot be just based on enthusiasm, it needs to be considered over a long period of time.

Liu Bei pondered and said: "Is it not enough to just merge the states?"

After hundreds of years of hard work by Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan and subsequent kings, the Xiongnu Empire has completely fallen apart.

However, the grassland is a place destined to never be peaceful. After the fall of the Xiongnu, the former overlord, another nation emerged, the Xianbei.

Decades ago, a generation of heroes, Tan Shihuai, emerged, unified all the Xianbei tribes, and even defeated the Han army.

However, this person has passed away, and the Xianbei tribes have been divided again. But even so, the strength of each tribe cannot be underestimated.

Just on the grassland north of Bingzhou, there are two forces, Xianbei and Budugen in the west, each controlling tens of thousands of people.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "My lord, do you know the [Old Immortal of Nanhua]?" He raised his head and looked to the north, thinking: It's time to create the first generation of steel torrent.

"Of course." Liu Bei thought for a while, nodded and said, "It is rumored that Zhang Jiao was able to establish Taiping Taoism through this person's teaching of Taoism. According to folk rumors, this person has attained Taoism and became an immortal."

If it were his previous life, he would never believe in such a miraculous thing. But now, even reversing time and resurrecting his life has happened, and the existence of immortals seems to be a little more possible.

Guo Jia didn't care whether the old immortal Nanhua was a real immortal or a fake immortal. His purpose was to find a spokesperson to give his various whims and whims a reasonable source.

This kind of magic stick is the most suitable...

"To be honest, when Jia was young, he was taught by this immortal and taught the magical arts of Momen." After Guo Jia finished speaking, he took out a parchment scroll from his arms.

Liu Bei was stunned, and then his expression became strange. Does this old Nanhua immortal really exist?

He took the parchment roll from Guo Jia and looked at it carefully.

This is a painting, which depicts a scene of galloping iron cavalry. Every knight and his horse are wearing heavy armor. They look majestic, and their momentum is even more breathtaking than that of the wolf cavalry.

It seems that in front of this kind of iron cavalry, no military formation is indestructible, and no one can stop their steps.

"This is……"

Liu Bei had experienced hundreds of battles and could see the power of this kind of army at a glance.

The soldiers and war horses were all wrapped in thick armor, with only a slight gap exposed at the eye position, which could not even be penetrated by a crossbow arrow. It could be said that there was no flaw.

This kind of army, let alone ordinary soldiers, would be difficult to deal with even if a general encounters it.

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "Is there really a fairy in the world?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Jia has studied for many years and discovered that this kind of iron cavalry is actually not without flaws."

"oh?"

"First, if you wear heavy armor, you will definitely not be able to fight for a long time, otherwise neither humans nor horses will be able to withstand it."

"Secondly, the horse's legs cannot be completely protected. If we send soldiers armed with hooks, sickles, spears and swords to deal with it, we only need to cut off the horse's legs to restrain this kind of cavalry."

Guo Jia directly pointed out the shortcomings of the heavy armored cavalry one by one to avoid them suffering from boredom in the future.

Of course, whether you use swords or hooks, sickles and spears, the requirements for the environment and skills are very strict.

Therefore, it is just restraint, but it cannot be completely broken. As long as the person leading the troops knows how to use it flexibly, you can still find no opportunity to restrain.

Liu Bei agreed with his face: "Fengxiao has seen it thoroughly."

Not only did this man come up with new types of troops, he also found a way to restrain himself.

Is it true that the great ancestor appeared?

Liu Bei had this idea again.

Let him live a new life, seize the opportunity, and occupy a state before the world begins.

Now he has arranged for an immortal to give him treasures to help him strengthen his military strength, which is really the icing on the cake.

If Guo Jia knew Liu Bei's thoughts, he would probably complain: What's the matter with Gaozu? I gave this to you, but I don't want to come forward.

Liu Bei put away his thoughts and suddenly said: "This kind of cavalry is good, but the cost is probably extremely expensive."

Judging from the scroll, the armor on these cavalrymen is comparable to that of generals, or even thicker.

How many men can he afford to equip with such an army?

Guo Jia said seriously: "My lord, although this type of army has some flaws, it is a great weapon. It is not an exaggeration to call it the strongest army in the world."

"Okay, since Fengxiao said so, even if you want to sell iron, you still have to equip thousands of people!"

Guo Jia:???
