Chapter 5 Traveling to Yizhou (3)
As the next level of government agencies in the state, the status of the county can be said to be important, and the county's population, economy, etc. also directly determine the grade of the county guard, the general county population is about four or five hundred thousand, but Yizhou has three million-level heavy counties among the fifteen counties, and the entire Yizhou has 250,000 troops, and this is only a number on the surface, no one knows how many soldiers and horses Yizhou has.
Lucheng County is one of these three million-level counties, and the number of soldiers and horses in the county alone has reached 30,000, which is beyond the reach of most counties.
The three of them entered the territory of Yizhou all the way, and all they saw was the scene of strong soldiers and horses, whether they passed through townships, counties or counties, they all built perfect fortifications, and the soldiers were also ready to fight.
And as Tan Duocai said, the territory is indeed a love for horses, and many places that pass through have horse markets that specialize in selling horses, and horses from various places can be seen everywhere.
Three days later, in the afternoon, the three of them had already come to see the county town of Lucheng from a distance, the wide official road was rammed very straight, the tall county town was built magnificently, the city wall extended to both sides, at a glance there was no edge, and there was a long row of soldiers standing on the city wall.
Fang Ling looked at the horse from afar, and couldn't help but feel a little appreciative, not to mention whether the king of Yizhou was an enemy or a friend with him, but he did have a hand in managing the fiefdom, and Jiang Wenshan was able to manage the million-level county town in an orderly manner, and he must have some ability.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the pedestrians in front, and the pedestrians and carriages on the official road retreated to both sides, and many people fell to the ground in a hurry.
It turned out to be a gray-robed young man riding a tall horse galloping, the young man was only 17 or 8 years old, his figure looked a little weak, his face was miserable white at this time, his hands were tightly holding the reins, and his mouth was anxiously shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The big horse was full of wildness, and its black pupils seemed to be unruly, and it didn't care whether there was anyone on its back or not, and it ran quickly with its hooves, scaring the pedestrians on the road and running away.
Not far behind the wild horse, followed by six men, each of whom was also riding a big horse, and the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, all of whom were quite wealthy, and he was galloping with a worried face, obviously trying to catch up with the wild horse.
It's just that this wild horse is surprisingly fast and full of energy, and the distance between the two sides is not only not narrowed, but it is getting wider and wider.
However, in the blink of an eye, the wild horse was only a few dozen zhang away from Fang Ling and the others, and the scene was even more chaotic, seeing that he was about to rush in front of Fang Ling and the others, the young man saw that Fang Ling and the three of them did not dodge, so they stopped on the official road, and couldn't help but shout with all their might: "Hide, I can't control the horse!"
"Brother Lu!" Fang Ling said lightly.
Lu Bei immediately jumped off his horse, and rushed towards the wild horse with an arrow step, seeing that a man and a horse were about to collide together, causing passers-by to make a burst of alarm, and many people were blindfolded, for fear of seeing the bloody scene that was about to happen.
