Wei and Jin cooks

As soon as he entered the study, Chen Wu lifted up his robe and knelt down. Zhao Hanzhang, who was walking in front, was startled and quickly turned around to help him, "Oh, General Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Wu insisted on kneeling and expressed with a serious face that in the past year, he and the beggar army had been conquered by Zhao Hanzhang's personality charm. He and the beggar army were willing to submit to Zhao Hanzhang and would only obey her orders in the future.

He hoped that Zhao Hanzhang could accept him and the begging army.

Zhao Hanzhang was stunned. She thought it would take another year to conquer the beggar army, but she didn't expect that he would suddenly propose surrender.

Zhao Hanzhang's heart moved, and he immediately understood why he chose this time.

This is for the horse that just came back.

To be honest, she really had no intention of keeping horses for the beggar army. Naturally, she had to benefit from such good things first. The Zhao Jiajun, Erlang and Bei Gongchun she led personally all needed horses. This time, the horses were even with Zhao Ju. None of them got a share, and there were Xun Xiu and other Yuzhou troops. Naturally, they were still half an outsider's begging army.

But now...

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and helped him up, took him away, and then asked: "I remember that there are not many horses in your army, and most of them are horse horses for transporting goods."

Chen Wu nodded repeatedly, saying yes. The beggar army only had six rideable horses, and the rest were oxen and horses for hauling goods. Everyone relied on their legs to fight.

They are so poor, let alone buying horses. The armor ownership rate of their entire army does not exceed 30%. As well as weapons and equipment, they are the weakest among the armies in Luoyang.

But even in this situation, when they were practicing battle with Zhao Erlang's Zhao Jiajun with wooden guns and sticks, they were still able to suppress the Zhao Jiajun.

However, in order to take care of Zhao Erlang's face, Chen Wu, who considered himself to be smooth, specially selected some weak and thin soldiers from the army to fight. After a little effort, the two sides managed to draw a tie.

Zhao Hanzhang naturally knew how powerful the begging army was, and did not think that Zhao Erlang's infantry could defeat the begging army like this on a real battlefield.

You must know that after the complete fall of the Central Plains, the Beggar Army guerrillaed alone in the north and refused to surrender. It repeatedly blocked Shi Le, Liu Cong and others. After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to establish a stable transitional power in the south, and the role of the Beggar Army was not the same. Small.

The beggar army was not limited to Chen Wu. In Jizhou and Youzhou, there were beggar armies from Bingzhou. They were all gathered refugees and relied on crude weapons to fight against the barbarians. In later generations, the beggar army became known as the beggar army. It was rated as the most ferocious and powerful peasant army in history.

Chen Wu's army of beggars persisted the longest. When he was there, he and Shi Le fought back and forth in the Pengguan area. For nearly ten years, Shi Le failed to capture Pengguan.

It was not until his death that Chen Chuan led the begging army to surrender to Shi Le, but that was also Chen Chuan's personal will, and the begging army as a whole was unwilling to surrender.

Such a strong and courageous team was taken into Zhao Hanzhang's hands today, and she naturally wanted it to become stronger.

However, the most outstanding thing about the Beggar Army was the infantry combat, and Zhao Hanzhang did not intend to favor them in the distribution of horses.

Hearing that Zhao Hanzhang only planned to give him twenty horses, Chen Wu was slightly disappointed, but before he could fall to the ground, Zhao Hanzhang picked up their weapons, equipment and armor.

Chen Wu's eyes lit up and he looked at her excitedly.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "General Chen's visit is rare. Why don't we stay a few more days and let's go and take a look at the arsenal. It's time to replace the broken weapons in your army."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"I'll let the weapon shop start to build some armor, and equip more in the winter when there is no war. I don't know if the Huns will go south next year."

Chen Wu: "Yes, yes."

Compared with horses and weapons and armor, of course weapons and armor are more important.

Chen Wu is ambitious and wants to form a cavalry. The world is a general. Who doesn't want an invincible cavalry?

But he also knows what the strengths of the beggar army are, and if an army wants to survive, he must maintain his own strengths. If he can be irreplaceable, then the army can last for a long time.

His infantry, the ferocity of the beggar army and the aura of death are the reasons for constant victory. If the weapons can be optimized and armor added on this basis, the beggar army will be even more brave.

Think about it, he was barefoot, in rags, and could fight his way out with a knife that wasn't sharp enough, not to mention that now he could put on shoes, armor, and hold a sharp weapon.

When Chen Wu followed Zhao Hanzhang out of the study, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his mouth almost reached behind his ears.

Bei Gongchun's heart sank when he saw this, and he couldn't help but look at each other with Xie Shi. This time, wouldn't all the horses be given to the beggar army?

That is naturally impossible.

This time, apart from the colts who failed to enter the battlefield, Beigong Chun got the most points, followed by Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Erlang.

Of course she also wanted to create an invincible cavalry in the Zhao army, but she knew that Bei Gongchun's Xiliang army was better than the cavalry.

Now if there is a good horse, you still have to follow him first.

Bei Gongchun left with satisfaction, and Chen Wu was also very satisfied and ran to chase Bei Gongchun.

Although he has given up the plan of forming a cavalry for the time being, the Beggar Army will definitely need a cavalry in the future, so he should establish a good relationship with Bei Gongchun first, and he can consult him more during military training in the future.

Bei Gongjun was also willing to get along with Chen Wu, and the two went to a restaurant for a drink arm in arm.

Xie Shi stayed, and as soon as they left, he said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Your Majesty, the Zhao family army should still have a brave cavalry."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Not bad."

"Do you think you should lead the cavalry yourself, or should you leave it to others?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Xie?"

"I thought that since you have so many things to do and can't train your troops every day, why not leave this matter to the general," Xie Shi said, "You are the commander-in-chief of the Zhao family army. Whether it is Zhao Ju, Qiu Wu or the general, they are all your generals. Why not Leave the cavalry to the young general to train."

Zhao Erlang has not recognized a few characters in the past two years, but his kung fu is getting better day by day, probably because he exercises more. The fifteen-year-old boy is strong and strong, with great strength. His martial arts is no weaker than those of Zeng Yue.

Even in an immediate martial arts fight, he could tie with Zhao Hanzhang, and he could perform dozens of moves under Beigong Chun.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan thought for a while and then nodded, "This method is good."

Zhao Hanzhang agreed.

Xie Shi took advantage of the situation and said: "There are still too few horses in the army. If we want to form a cavalry, we have to buy more horses."

After saying that, Xie Shi stared at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang:......

She rubbed her forehead and looked at Fan Ying, "How much more money can I get from the warehouse?"

Fan Ying said: "Mr. Ming said we have to set aside one million for emergencies. For the rest, according to the accounts reported by various places this year, there is still a shortfall of eight million."

She paused and then said: "But in addition to the money that has been decided to be allocated at this stage, there is still 3.58 million available."

It sounds like a lot, but Zhao Hanzhang habitually exchanges money for silver. Isn't this just over three thousand taels of silver?

How many horses can I buy?

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes. As for the horse, according to the unit price quoted this time, he can buy a lot, but in fact the travel expenses are higher than the value of the horse.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded on the table and asked: "I remember Wu Erlang said yesterday that Xianbei didn't like our new money, but they wanted us to exchange it for colored glaze, cloth and porcelain?"

"Yes," Ji Yuan nodded: "There are also salt and iron tools."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Don't worry about salt and ironware. We don't even have enough ourselves. It is strictly prohibited to trade ironware, copper and salt with the Hu people."

Everyone responded.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let people weave more cloth. Next time we will barter. As for the money in the warehouse, use it for travel expenses. Let each workshop seize the time. This time the Jinyang army leaves and Wu Erlang will follow him."

In other words, Wu Erlang does not need to go elsewhere for the time being. He will first take the direct trade between Jinyang and Luoyang.

It was Gao Jie's caravan that returned to Luoyang with Wu Erlang.

Good night
