The peaceful days passed day by day, and it was almost February of the nineteenth year of Jian'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At the beginning of February, Lao Cao announced that he would start to "build a temple and a shrine" and "start cultivating the fields", which means that Lao Cao's Wei State was beginning to be established. At this time, as in the original history, Emperor Liu Xie gave Lao Cao the ten counties of Hedong, Hanoi, Wei County, Zhao State, Zhongshan, Changshan, Julu, Anping, Ganling, and Pingyuan as the territory of Wei State...... Of course, it's not up to him to decide how much land Lao Cao wants? It's just that Lao Cao still has to take care of the face of Emperor Liu Xie after all, so on the bright side, he just got these territories to establish his Wei state.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan are still the same, and it is unlikely that there will be much change in a short period of time. As for Lao Cao, because the Wei State had just been established, there were many internal problems to deal with, and he was unable to use troops externally for the time being.

And at this time, the western Liaoning region...... In the Han Dynasty, Liaoxi and Liaodong were originally under the jurisdiction of Youzhou, and it was said that they should be Lao Cao's sphere of influence. It's just that due to the turmoil of the previous years, Youzhou has long lost control over Liaoxi and Liaodong. Not to mention that there were Karasuma forces like Bunton who caused trouble in Liaoxi before, what is the difference between Gongsun Du and being the king independently in Liaodong?

After that, Lao Cao settled the situation and destroyed the original collectivity of the Karasuma tribe, just two years ago, Gongsun Du had been hung up again, and the successor Gongsun Kang expressed his submission to Lao Cao, in general, there would be no big problems in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and Lao Cao didn't bother to pay more attention to it. The Karasuma tribe in western Liaoning will let him be in chaos, as long as he does not form a large-scale group like Bunton, and does not cross the Shanhai Pass to make trouble in North China Pingyuan.

And to be honest, Lao Cao's troops have to be used to deal with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and he really has more than enough strength to carry out another expedition to Liaoxi. Before settling the situation, Lao Cao knew very well that it was a narrow victory that could not be more dangerous, and Guo Jia died on the journey of Liaoxi, so Lao Cao had a psychological shadow on Liaodi.

It is precisely because of this psychological shadow that Lao Cao made a wrong judgment when Lu Ren tentatively proposed that Lao Cao could send troops to Liaoxi to fight the Karasuma tribe again, and gave Lu Ren the post of Liaoxi Assassin Shi, and allowed Lu Ren to recruit troops in the western Liaoxi region to defend the port.

According to Lao Cao's idea, Lu Ren will definitely fight with the Karasuma tribe in western Liaoning, and then Lu Ren will be able to contain and restrict the development of the Karasuma tribe in western Liaoning, and Lao Cao's Hebei region will also be stable for a long time, and even at a certain point, Lao Cao can also go over and harvest the fruits planted and ripened by Lu Ren.

Strictly speaking, Lao Cao's idea is not wrong. It's just that Lao Cao ignored one thing, that is, Lu Ren's ability to fight is indeed not very good, but Lu Ren, who knows his shortcomings, is best at releasing "pouring the country's silver bullet wave" after accumulating enough anger......

――――――――――――――――――――

In western Liaoning in February, although the winter snow has not yet melted, there is already a little warmth in the wilderness. At this time, Zhao Yu's fleet arrived at Chrysanthemum Port again. In addition to the basically fixed supplies, Zhao Yu also had some other things to bring to Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying.

"Jade girl, this is the score of a few new songs that have recently been released in Yizhou, you have put it away. And these are records of new songs. ”

Tuoba Yu took over the score and took a closer look. She has studied in the art department of Yizhou University for several years, and reading a music score is not a pediatric thing? So after just a few glances, she tried to hum softly.

At this time, Zhao Yu took a light hand crossbow and handed it to Murong Ziying: "This is a newly improved cavalry hand crossbow, the range and power are roughly equivalent to the Donghu flying bow, but each box can be loaded with five arrows, which is convenient to shoot and can be fired quickly and continuously." However, because it is a prototype type, there are only 1,000 sheets for the time being. You arrange for someone to try it out to see if it works, and if there is any problem, you should respond as soon as possible. ”

Murong Ziying also answered and took it, and looked at it in her hand repeatedly, looking a little lovely. Playing riding and archery on horseback looks handsome, cool and chic, but in fact there are still many restrictions. Before that, Lu Ren produced infantry crossbows here, and although the cavalry could also be used, there were too many inconveniences, so that the thousands of cavalry under Murong Ziying would rather use the horse bows they were used to in many cases, so that Lu Ren had to produce a batch of steel wire pulley bows for Murong Ziying's cavalry first. Now this kind of short and concise cavalry crossbow is exactly the cavalry equipment that Murong Ziying wants most.

Everything that should be arranged was arranged, and Zhao Yu and the others sat in the greenhouse. After drinking a few sips of tea and chatting a few idle days, Zhao Yu asked Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying: "Now that spring is beginning and the snow has melted, do you have any action here?" ”

Murong Ziying said, "Didn't Lu Yizhou tell us not to make any big moves before we got his instructions?" Sister Yu, what do you mean by asking that now? ”

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "I'm not saying that there are any big moves, but whether you have to fight a few more battles with some Karasuma Sanbu after the beginning of spring." This kind of small battle, sir, he didn't forbid you to fight, and it should be fought! ”

Murong Ziying understood, and muttered: "The ordinary small tribes have long been hiding far away, and there are only a few tribes on a slightly larger scale, and the worst of them has more than 5,000 horsemen, and their strength is not much worse than ours. Because of our limited strength here, we don't dare to provoke them for the time being, and on the other hand, they don't dare to provoke us when they see that our walls are strong, so they can be regarded as safe with each other. However, small-scale battles do occur from time to time, such as last year, when just in winter, one of our men and horses who went out fought with them, and they robbed some of the goods that came back from the market, but fortunately the losses were not large, and there were no casualties. ”

"That's ......"

Zhao Yu stretched out his finger and drew back and forth on his delicate eyebrows for a long time, and finally nodded: "There are more than 5,000 horsemen of the Karasuma tribe, right?" It should be about the same. Ziying, you prepare there, and in a few days we will go and destroy them. ”

"Ahh

Murong Ziying wondered if she had heard it wrong. There are more than 5,000 horsemen of the Karasuma tribe, and their actual population is generally around 20,000, with Murong Ziying's current strength, how can it be said that it can be wiped out? Yes, Murong Ziying has more than 7,000 troops in his hands, but when he goes out to fight, he has to leave people to defend the city, at best, he can use more than 3,000 horsemen, which is a loss in terms of troops, okay?

It is precisely because of this restriction that Murong Ziying used to go out to sweep up, and he always picked those tribes who had no more than a thousand horsemen at most, and generally only a few hundred horses. It is said that if you kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself, and if you really do it with a larger scale, if you cause too much damage, it will definitely weaken the garrison of Chrysanthemum Harbor. And as soon as your power here weakens, God knows what the consequences will be. Therefore, Murong Ziying has always had a twelve-point support attitude towards Lu Ren's sweep that only seeks weak clans to sweep, and at the same time uses money offensive as a supplement. But now that Zhao Yu came out with such a sentence, it really made Murong Ziying a little confused. Could it be that Lu Ren wanted him to gnaw on hard bones?

Zhao Yu looked at Murong Ziying's reaction, smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm just joking." Sir, his strategy naturally has his own reasons, and it won't do us much good if we really gnaw on such hard bones. But it's not okay for such a tribe not to teach them a hard lesson, so I mean can we find a way to lure their people out and beat them up. ”

"Oh!"

Murong Ziying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. If it leads to some and another field battle, the problem in this regard is not very big: "This is simple. Now that spring has just begun, the winter food of the various nomadic tribes is almost exhausted, and almost all of them will come out to find a place with abundant water and grass to graze cattle and sheep, and if these stronger tribes encounter a weaker tribe, they will generally choose to attack each other, and plunder the other party's cattle and sheep back to fill their own reality. If we want to lure some people out to fight according to Sister Yu's intentions, we just need to let out some rumors and say where we are going to send some money and food, and if nothing happens, we will definitely lure them out, and the other party will not have too many people. ”

Zhao Yu patted his thigh: "Then it's decided...... But where can we send the money and food? ”

Murong Ziying groaned, "I want to think about it...... Well, there are a few small tribes in our neighborhood that are friendly to us, and now that winter has just passed, they must have eaten almost all of their winter food, so we can assume that we can take the initiative to trade with them or even fund them, so that it is more credible to send a team. ”

Zhao Yu nodded again and again: "Well, that's good." It just so happens that I've sent something to you here, too, and the word that spreads is reasonable. Then let's do this first, Ziying, you go and prepare first, and I have to prepare the next batch of people here. ”

Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying were both stunned, and after glancing at each other, Tuoba Yu asked, "The next batch of people?" Sister Yu, aren't you the only one this time? ”

Zhao Yu shook his finger at the two and said with a smile: "You forgot? Didn't I say that when I brought you the last batch of supplies last year, someone would come this year? ”

Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying's reactions immediately became completely different. Tuoba Yu was overjoyed, but Murong Ziying shuddered and tightened her chrysanthemum, and asked urgently, "Sister Lu Lingqi really wants to come over?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled: "Why am I lying to you?" Not only will she be coming, but she will also bring more than 2,000 people with her, which has been arranged by Mr. and him before. It was because she had to bring more than 2,000 people with her, that the fleet had to make other arrangements, so that it would arrive at a later time than me. ”

Murong Ziying sighed wordlessly, and said in her heart that this eldest sister came over, and my little life might be sad......

――――――――――――――――――――

In the blink of an eye, in late February, a very large team drove out of Chrysanthemum Port. And the biggest feature of this team is that in addition to the more than 1,000 elite cavalry, it also carries a lot of fully loaded vehicles.

The first stop of this team was a small Xianbei tribe. Although Murong Ziying sent personnel to lobby the Xianbei tribe in the western Liaoning region, not all the Xianbei tribes were willing to join Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying's small group, and there were always some who wanted to maintain the independence of their own tribe. And for such a tribe, it is not interesting to use force against them, it is better to maintain a relatively good relationship with each other.

When the team arrived, as Murong Ziying said, the winter food of this small tribe was almost exhausted, and they had planned to bring some local products or something to Chrysanthemum Port to exchange for some food, but now they saw that Murong Ziying's team took the initiative to come over to trade with them, so they were naturally overjoyed.

After some trading, Murong Ziying led the team to set off for the location of the next small clan, and the news naturally spread.

Without further ado, it was just that Murong Ziying's team was walking on the road that day after completing the transaction with the three small clans, and suddenly saw dust and hoofs in a slightly distant place. Murong Ziying's side was all people who were mixed up in the grasslands of western Liaoning, so he immediately judged that this must be a large-scale cavalry rushing towards him.

Until this moment, the corners of Murong Ziying's mouth had a playful smile, and she turned her head to Zhao Yu beside her and said, "Sister Yu, you're here." ”

turned his head to look at Lu Lingqi on the other side, but there was a little fear in his words: "Sister Ling, next?" ”

Lu Lingqi had already taken the halberd, looked at the flying dust over there and smiled coldly: "I came so late, I'm impatient!" Ziying, have your cavalry flanked on either side of the formation, ready to attack while protecting the flanks. ”

Murong Ziying answered, pulled out the horse and arranged to go. Zhao Yu came to Lu Lingqi's side at this time and asked, "Lingqi, is it okay?" ”

Lu Lingqi said: "I have been practicing for a long time, and this is what I have been waiting for." Your task is to memorize what should be remembered, and tell Uncle Lu the original when you go back. ”

Zhao Yu nodded, also took his spear, and sighed lightly: "I haven't ridden a horse to kill for many years, and I wonder if my skills are rusty." Now that I see such a scene, I really want to go over and have a good fight. ”

Lu Lingqi smiled: "Don't mess around! We're not here to fight with them, Uncle Lu wants the actual combat data of the people I brought. ”

Zhao Yu also smiled, and immediately stood in front of Lu Lingqi with a gun.

Several of the main characters have telescopes in their hands, and if they look carefully at this moment, they immediately judge that there are about 3,000 people on the opposite side. If it was the men and horses of the tribe with more than 5,000 horsemen mentioned by Murong Ziying, then they should have dispatched more than half of their combat strength, and the target was of course the vehicles and materials in the team here. Winter has just passed, and the supplies loaded on the vehicles are really hungry for them.

According to the news they heard, Murong Ziying's team was only escorted by more than 1,000 cavalry, and the rest were all vehicles and foot soldiers, so it should be almost the same as if they dispatched more than 3,000 cavalry. Moreover, the cavalry pays attention to impact and attack, although Murong Ziying has more than a thousand well-equipped cavalry, it is obviously inappropriate to use it to defend vehicles and infantry. The cavalry that did not rush up still had a chrysanthemum use, but once the cavalry sprinted and attacked, didn't it mean that they had to leave the vehicles and teams they wanted to protect? Therefore, use a certain amount of troops to transfer Murong Ziying's cavalry, and then the remaining infantry and vehicles will be in their pockets.

It's a pity that the idea is very beautiful, but the reality seems to be a little deviated. When they were about to rush to the sprint distance, they found that Murong Ziying's cavalry was lined up on both sides of the convoy to protect the flanks of the convoy, and what they were facing in front of them were large carts and foot soldiers hiding behind the cars.

However, for this kind of low "parapet", the nomadic cavalry who grew up on horseback since childhood did not pay attention to it at all, so they all rushed over with a roar, ready to rush into the array of soldiers and then kill.

But at this time, an unexpected scene happened. In the middle of the opponent's car formation, the awnings on the top of more than a dozen large carts were suddenly removed, revealing the three soldiers in the car, and then a strange thing in front of the middle soldier. What kind of weird thing is this? The nomadic cavalry was hard to describe, but they could barely see it as a combination of seven or eight steel pipes and a mess of objects.

Seeing that Lu Lingqi had already raised the halberd, pointed forward sharply, and shouted: "All fire!" ”

With this angry shout, the muskets in the hands of the Yizhou musketeers who had been lurking behind the car began to wield, and rows of dense bullets flew towards the nomadic cavalry on the opposite side, and in only a moment, a large row of nomadic cavalry was brought down.

The musketeers in Yizhou were actually used by Zhao Yu with hundreds of people on the beach long ago, but at that time, due to some factors, Zhao Yu just took the hundreds of musketeers and retreated in time after putting a gun, so not to mention these nomadic tribes, even the soldiers and civilians in Chrysanthemum Harbor knew very little, only the leading figures like Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying knew some, and even Murong Ziying wanted to ask Lu Ren for some. Of course, because the conditions had not yet been met, Lu Ren refused Murong Ziying's request.

But then again, although the musket has been sorted out by Lu Ren and Shirley, it still needs relevant actual combat data and adjusted accordingly according to the data, and it just so happens that the scale of the battles that will occur in the western Liaoning region is not large, and it happens to be a place where actual combat testing can be carried out, so this time Lu Lingqi came over and brought two thousand musketeers, the purpose is to collect actual combat data through these small battles.

Now that the 2,000 musketeers are firing intensively at the 3,000 nomadic cavalry on the opposite side under the cover of the "car wall", it is basically conceivable what the result will be. But is that all? No! Among the two thousand musketeers, there were still twenty other things on the carts that were being tested in actual combat, and that was the combination of seven or eight steel pipes and a mess of objects that the nomadic cavalry could not describe, and that was operated by three non-commissioned men...... Well, this thing is his meow's eight-tube hand-cranked Gagrin!

(Ahem, this seems a bit too...... (To be continued.) )
