Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 20: Horse Trading

"If you want to talk to Wen Tai, just say it. There is no need to be polite." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Brother Fengxian, I have seen the elite cavalry in the Bingzhou Army, and I am eager to form a cavalry force. However, I have few horses in the south. I wonder if Fengxian can sell them to some of my subordinates?" Sun Jian stared at Lu Bu with burning eyes.

Cavalry is a weapon on the battlefield. With cavalry, the army can learn the enemy's movements faster and earlier. Since the last time he saw the style of Bingzhou cavalry, he has been preparing. All the horses in the general are gathered together in one unit, day and night.

Training, but the results are not ideal. There is still a big gap between the war horses in the Central Plains and those in Bingliang and other places.

Even with war horses, there is still a big gap in their riding skills. The formation of a cavalry does not happen overnight. The cavalry needs to have good horse control skills and be able to complete various actions on the war horse, otherwise it will become

Infantryman on horseback.

"Wentai, I won't beat around the bush anymore. You can get war horses, but you need to exchange them with materials of equal value, such as grain, grass, iron, or money."

"Fengxian is indeed a cheerful man, but the army is out for an expedition and there is not enough food and grass, so it is difficult to get it together at the moment." Sun Jian's joy also turned into loneliness.

"It doesn't matter, I can finance Wentai's five hundred horses first, but what's the price?" There are still surplus war horses in the Bingzhou army. Although they have been eliminated, they are still good horses for the princes of the Central Plains.

"Thank you for your kindness." Sun Jian said gratefully.

"You and my brother, I'll give you four thousand dollars for a horse." Lu Bu patted Sun Jian on the shoulder and said.

"Four thousand?" Sun Jian grinned. Four thousand is the price of forty shi meters. A family of three can live for a year if they save food. A war horse needs three shi of grain and grass every month, plus other things, to feed a war horse.

It is equivalent to raising two soldiers.

"It's a deal." Sun Jian gritted his teeth and agreed. The price of four thousand yuan was no longer high. I'm afraid some people among the princes were rushing to get it, and Lu Bu was already very enthusiastic to sell it to him. Before, he was

When Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan encountered a wall, the Central Plains princes guarded the border princes, and the border princes were not fools.

"Five hundred war horses, I will send General Cao to Wentai tomorrow at the latest." A deal was done, and Lu Bu was also a little happy. There is no shortage of war horses in Bingzhou, but food and grass. To develop a state, not just one.

It is enough to be enthusiastic and passionate. Only when you have soldiers and food in your hands can you have the right to speak.

"Brother Feng, our army lacks war horses, and the riding skills of our soldiers are a bit weak. Can you send cavalry to teach?" Sun Jian asked expectantly.

"Okay." Lu Bu agreed readily. As long as the stirrups were not exposed, the Bingzhou cavalry would have a great advantage among the princes.

After leaving the Bingzhou military camp, Sun Jian was also in high spirits. He seemed to have seen the scene of cavalry sweeping across the battlefield.

Dong Zhuo, who was still dissatisfied with his exorbitant levies and expropriations, dug up the tombs where emperors of all dynasties were buried. He loaded cart after cart with gold, silver and jewels. Before leaving, he started a fire and burned down the century-old capital.

At this time, under the "violent" offensive of the Allies, the Hulao Pass guard general surrendered after receiving the news that Dong Zhuo had abandoned Luoyang.

When the Allied forces arrived at Luoyang City, the fire was still not extinguished and the village was deserted. Yuan Shao had no choice but to order the army to be stationed in the wasteland.

Sun Jian was the vanguard and went to Luoyang to put out the fire.

Yuan Shao, who felt that he had made great contributions, began to think about it. Although Luoyang City was burned down by fire, he was still the best in the world, unparalleled. Such achievements and reputation were enough to shine on his family. What happened to the bastard? He wanted to use it.

Action tells the Yuan family that he is the number one member of the Yuan family.

"Alliance leader, now that Dong Zhuo has taken Sheng hostage to the west, the army can take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but the alliance leader is standing still. Why?" Cao Cao said anxiously with an angry look on his face.

The princes in the tent stopped complimenting each other and turned their attention to Yuan Shao. At this time, as long as Yuan Shao gave an order, the princes had no choice but to march in troops to pursue him.

"Mengde, the princes' soldiers and horses have been fighting for days, and they are already exhausted. It is useless to pursue Dong's thieves." Yuan Shao comforted him.

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "The traitor Dong burned down Luoyang and robbed the emperor. The world was shaken and he didn't know where he was going. This is the time when heaven is perishing. One battle can determine the world. Why are you hesitant to move forward?"

"Mengde, the three armies are exhausted, so don't move rashly." Yuan Shu advised, and the other princes also advised him.

Cao Cao said angrily: "There is no way to make a plan." After saying this, he walked away with more than 10,000 troops and went to chase Dong Zhuo at starry night.

Lu Bu shook his head, then walked out of the princes' tent, ordered his troops and horses, and Cheng Lian led his troops and the wounded in the army to set off for Bingzhou in advance.

The next day he led the remaining 7,000 soldiers to follow Cao's army. Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, he had no intention of coming back. The coalition of princes was already in name only. Dong Zhuo was now the richest man in the world. As long as he operated properly and added Li

With Su's support and looting, the people will have money, and the development of merging states will not be empty talk.

Let us also say that when Dong Zhuo arrived at Xingyang, the prefect Xu Rong came out to greet him. Li Ru said: "The Prime Minister abandoned Luoyang. To prevent the princes from pursuing their troops, Xu Rong can be taught to ambush outside Xingyang City. If there are pursuers, they can let them go and wait for me to capture the enemy here."

If the army is defeated and then intercepted and killed, the princes will definitely be frightened and dare not send troops to pursue them."

Dong Zhuo followed Li Ru's suggestion and ordered Hua Xiong to lead 10,000 elite troops behind, waiting only for the armies of the princes to arrive.

"The lower official is willing to stay as a queen." Li Su came out and said.

"Okay, Weigong will lead five thousand elite troops to assist General Niu in escorting the food and supplies." Dong Zhuo's trust in Niu Fu was naturally not comparable to that of Li Su, and he did not take Li Su's request for a fight seriously.

Cao Cao led his army to pursue them all night, and sent out scouts one after another. Basically, what they got was that the people were miserable. They were very angry at the news of Dong Jun's atrocities, and kept cursing Yuan Shao and others.

"Speed ​​up the march and be sure to catch up with the old thief Dong Zhuo." Cao Cao urged.

"My lord, the old thief Dong Zhuo has all elite men. Our army only has ten thousand people, so be careful." Cao Ren advised.

"Your Majesty is in trouble. As ministers, how can we retreat?" Cao Cao said firmly.

Seeing this, the generals of Cao's army could not persuade him any more, so they could only keep urging their troops to advance.

After chasing all night, Cao Cao's army was trapped and exhausted. Suddenly, drums sounded loudly in front, and Hua Xiong led his troops to suddenly attack. Cao Cao's front army could not resist and was defeated.

Hua Xiong laughed and said: "As Master Li expected, there are indeed princes pursuing troops, follow me and kill them!"

Cao Cao rode out on horseback and cursed loudly: "The rebels have robbed the emperor and driven away the people. If you don't get off your horse, capture them. Otherwise, when the army arrives, you will be wiped out."

Hua Xiong retorted: "How dare you, a coward, to fight with me!"

Xiahou Dun leapt on his horse and charged at Hua Xiong with his spear drawn. The two men were fighting at the same place, with neither victory nor defeat. Suddenly, the sound of thunderous drums sounded from the left, and Li Jue led an army to attack from the left.
