In fact, both King Huainan and Xiang Sanqiu ignored the fact that Yun Xiao's subordinates were all cavalry. And the number of horses accompanying him is amazing, although Liu Cheng's subordinates can't reach the point of one Hun horse per person, but under Liu Cheng's efforts this year, at least one person and one ride.

There was no such rich army in the entire Han army, and the materials of the army were not pulled by oxen but by horses. There are more than 200 carriages, not to mention that Yunxiao's troops are all ridden by one person and two horses, and the team of less than 500 people actually has as many as 1,000 horses alone.

The Han military system stipulated that the daily march of fifty li was based on a mixed contingent of infantry and cavalry.

Even the healthy soldiers had to rest for a while in the middle of the long journey, so Yun Xiao had a plan to rest in Huainan for a few days. The troops of the clouds were day and night under the scorching sun, and there was no imaginary fatigue at all, not to mention that they all marched on horseback much faster than the infantry.

If it weren't for Yunxiao, he traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and he went out day and night, which delayed the trip. I'm afraid I'm already in Jiangdu City now.

Based on this erroneous calculation, Xiang Sanqiu hurriedly launched an attack on Jiangdu. Because he felt that it was necessary to occupy such an important town as Jiangdu before Yunxiao arrived.

To paraphrase the famous phrase, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. A wrong attack was launched.

Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, was performing in Jiangdu City, and the prince, who was only fifteen years old, looked like he was twenty-five years old. From a distance, it doesn't look like a person from the Liu family, and it is likely that he has some relationship with the bear. Looking at this figure, if you grow to twenty-five years old, your figure will definitely not be inferior to Cangxiong and others. However, it still can't be compared with the perverted brute bull.

The payment of taxes after the summer harvest is very unsatisfactory. This made the young prince very worried. If this continues, the soldiers in Jiangdu City will be cut off.

"The prince's subordinates are ready. When to go to Qingxiang. Let those mud legs who don't pay taxes know the interests of the prince. ”

Cheng Ying is Liu Fei's uncle and the lieutenant of the king of Jiangdu. The soldiers and horses of the entire Jiangdu Kingdom are under his control. Cheng Ji, the general of the forbidden army in the capital, is his eldest brother from time to time, and Cheng Ji in the palace is his sister. has such a hard backer, and he usually really says the same thing in Jiangdu City.

"Neither is it, no yes" This guy who shook his head had a harder background, called Dou Yuan, who was Dou Ying's fifth brother. Compared with Dou Zhong, who is now crying without tears in Luoyang, this Dou Yuan is very favored by the Queen Mother, and his position as Xiangguo in Jiangdu is Liu Qi, who was personally found by the Queen Mother. Cheng Ji didn't even dare to fart in this matter, compared to the powerful Dou family, the Cheng family was nothing.

Liu Fei also hated this guy who only knew how to shake his head and say allusions to ancient books all day long. But there is no way, and Cheng Ying has the urge to cut people every time he sees this guy. If you say, there is anyone in the Jiangdu Royal Mansion who can compete with Cheng Ying. There is only this Dou Yuan. In just a few months of working together, the two have quarreled several times, but each time it is the sharp-toothed Dou Yuan who wins.

In the sound of Cheng Ying's grinding teeth, Dou Yuan began his strange talk again.

"Jiangdu has more than 6,000 soldiers, but there are more than 7,000 soldiers, and there are more than enough to defend the city, and it has been attacked. If General Cheng led his troops to clear the township, if it was the Sanqiu siege of Jiangdu. How will General Cheng deal with himself? According to the report of the horse survey, the number of recruits in the Sanqiu training and their original subordinates has exceeded twice that of our army. With such a huge disparity in troops, General Cheng is confident that he will win in battle? If the river is broken. How did General Cheng explain to the prince and how to explain to the imperial court. Is such a big loss something that you can withstand? ”

Dou Yuan's series of questions made Cheng Ying stammer, he was already clumsy, and what Dou Yuan said was quite reasonable, he couldn't help but suffocate for a while.

"Then stay in Jiangdu like this and wait for death? It's already September. Less than 30% of the tax is paid. How do you let the military horses survive the winter, and there is also a shortage of firewood and charcoal. Not to mention that military salaries can't be paid, and it won't work according to what you said. That's not going to work, let's just starve to death. ”

After holding back for a long time, Cheng Ying spread his two big hands and did not speak on the side.

"Xiangguo. It's not just that there is a shortage of military supplies. Even my palace is about to run off, and if it continues like this, the lonely king will have to ask the court for relief. At that time, I will not be the only one who will lose face. ”

Liu Fei has long been tired of Dou Yuan. If you don't really can't mess with this guy. He had already been cut down.

"The Marquis of Lintong, the general sent by the imperial court to conquer the south, has arrived in Huainan, and the prince can repair a book and order him to come to Jiangdu as soon as possible. I heard that this Marquis of Lintong once relied on a temporary military village to resist the siege of Xiang Sanqiu's tens of thousands of soldiers for more than a month with a temporary military village during the Seven Kings Rebellion. After decades of construction by Liu Biao, this Jiangdu City is extremely strong, and he must be more handy in guarding it.

The prince could hand over the Jiangdu City to the Marquis of Lintong for defense, and then General Cheng led his troops out to clear the township. This not only solves the problem, but also seems to be more secure. ”

"Let him come quickly, Lord Xiangguo forget about it. He is the general of Zhengnan who commands the armies and horses of the vassal states in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is the only one who controls us, so where is the reason for us to dispatch him. You said let him come, and he came? If this Lintong Marquis is so easy to speak. I won't fight with your third brother in Luoyang. ”

"Uh......"

Dou Yuan was choked by Liu Fei for a while, Liu Fei was not Cheng Ying and had to save face for Dou Yuan. The fifteen-year-old child picked up whatever he said, and didn't give Dou Yuan face at all.

"Loneliness has been decided, tomorrow Lonely and General Cheng will order 5,000 soldiers and horses to clear the township. Since Xiangguo said that the Jiangdu Liu Bi was built very strongly, then it would be better for Xiangguo to lead a thousand soldiers to defend the city. ”

"Think twice."

Dou Yuan was shocked and hurriedly bowed down to advise. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. When I looked up, it turned out that Liu Fei's seat was empty.

"Lord Xiangguo, a certain family is going to rectify the military horses, so I won't accompany you."

Cheng Ying smiled evilly and went out, leaving only Dou Yuan sitting on the ground.

Five thousand troops and horses drove out of Jiangdu City like sweeping devil soldiers, and Dou Yuan stood at the head of the city to say goodbye. When the army was gone, he turned around to look at the old and weak soldiers left for him, sighed and turned back to his house.

A fast horse galloped out of the river and rushed to Shouchun.

The king of Jiangdu received a military report before he left the Jiangdu Xiang Sanqiu, and the king of Wu had been operating in Jiangnan for decades. It's not something that can be compared with the imperial court sending a few princes, Xiang Sanqiu has no less than hundreds of spies in Jiangdu City.

"Ha, it's out. Okay, let the whole army go out overnight. Let's go to Baoying and wait for them. ”

Xiang Sanqiu looked at the map and smiled.

Looking at the ox cart behind him, Liu Fei was very happy. In just three days, the villages and towns near Jiangdu let him loot and transport them into Jiangdu.

"It seems that this winter can be better, let's go to Baoying today, I heard that there is a good harvest of fish and rice today. Dare to cut off the tax officer's ear, hum. Let these mud-legged men see the methods of a certain family today. ”

Cheng Ying said to his nephew on the horse. In the past few days, several militia groups composed of villagers have been wiped out in a row, and Cheng Ying is very confident in the soldiers under his command.

"The Lone King also heard that Baoying has produced a lot this year, and he wants to see it today."

"The herald ordered the front army to hurry up, and I am afraid it will take ten days to travel more than 200 miles back and forth."

The military academy ordered by "Nuo" beat the horse and galloped to the front army.

Jiulong Mountain stretches for more than 40 miles, and is named after the nine peaks and the nine peaks stand together if the nine dragons take off. Liu Fei stood in the middle of the threshing floor and watched the smoke of the mountains, but the pleading and cries of the villagers rang in his ears.

The food that had worked hard for a summer was looted by the officials and soldiers, and the old village chief's tears dried up and his head broke. But the young prince still didn't have a trace of expression.

waved his hand in disgust and asked the guards to drag the old man away, Liu Fei felt that the old guy in front of him had disturbed his interest in watching the mountain.

The conquest proceeded very smoothly, and the 5,000 soldiers dispersed to various villages and towns in Baoying County. In the evening, a large amount of money and grain will be transported back, and he will personally come to the richest Zhuangzi. I heard that this Zhuangzi used to belong to Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and he was very rich.

When I saw it today, it was true.

Ordinary peasant households can live in brick houses, and there are big fat pigs in the yard. There are more chickens, ducks and poultry than can be counted, and the ducks near Mizusawa are very fat. I have to stew two for a while, and I heard that the Marquis of Lintong who came to Jiangdu is a famous gourmet, so bring some more back and ask him to cook it when the time comes.

"Lord Wang, the little one found a beautiful woman in the villager's house. I came to dedicate it to the prince, "The king of Jiangdu, Shi Chuying, is a very dog-legged guy. Now she was twisting a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, whose sideburns were scattered and struggling. Speaking Wu language in his mouth, Liu Fei didn't understand it very well.

Chu Ying stretched out her hand to puff away the girl's messy hair, revealing a pair of big watery eyes. The pink face looked like an egg that had just been peeled, as if it would be cut if it was heavier.

"Be careful not to hurt when you write."

Liu Fei liked it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly told the two soldiers who twisted their arms to be careful.

"Lord, beg the prince to raise his noble hand. My granddaughter has already made a promise, and she will get married at the end of the year. Please also ask the prince to let this child go. ”

The old farmer cried and pounced again, but was kicked away by Chu Ying.

"The prince has taken a fancy to your granddaughter, this is your creation. Who dares to marry the person that the prince likes. I will reward you with two pieces of money, and then I will give you three hundred catties of rice and noodles. In the future, you will be the prince's relatives, and our prince has not yet married. I will definitely love your granddaughter well, and if you have something to do in the future, just come to our prince. ”

Chu Ying opened his mouth, the prince shut up, and after saying a word, he had already said seven or eight princes.

Liu Fei didn't care about such a thing, and when he talked to such a rural farmer, he felt that he had lowered his identity. Reaching out and slowly brushing away the emanation on the girl's cheeks, greedily caressing the skin that can be broken by blowing. A natural stunner, I really didn't expect this barren mountain to have such a color.

Slide your fingertips from your face to your nose and from your nose to your lips.

Suddenly, the girl opened her cherry mouth. bit Liu Fei's finger at once, "Ah" (to be continued......)
