Chapter 1189

Zhao state, Bingzhou, Taiyuan County, Jinyang, is also the King City of Zhao state. In the palace of Zhao king, Lv Bu, the king of Zhao, is gathering a group of officials to discuss affairs.

Above the court hall, Lu bu'an of Zhao Kingdom sits on the throne, Chen Gong, Wei Xu, Zhongcheng, Qin Yi, the Prime Minister of Zhao Kingdom, and other civil and military officials, such as Zhang Liao, the general of Northern Expedition, Cao Xing, the general of Pingnan, Li Feng, the commander of Sili school and the commander of Taiyuan City, rank first among the officials.

"You Aiqing, you lonely desire to lead the troops out of the fortress and expel the Xianbei tribe within 200 Li north of Yinshan Mountain. On the one hand, you want to avenge the previous invasion of Bingzhou, and on the other hand, you want to remove some hidden dangers for us and the northern part of Zhao." Lu Bu sat high on the throne, looking excited to all humanity;

after several months of being king Zhao, Lu Bu was a little bit suffocated. This time, he just took this opportunity to go out and let himself fly. This is also why the Chen palace asked Lu Bu not to go deep into the grassland within 200 Li. Lu Bu nodded and agreed. If it had been put in the past, Lu Bu probably would not have agreed. Now, he just wanted to lead the troops immediately and didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment.

When they heard this, they all bowed to give a deep gift and said in unison, "the king is holy and bright!"

"Well, Gu himself led the expedition. He led 30000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry and 20000 ordinary cavalry, including 50000 cavalry and 100000 horses." At this point, Lu Bu stopped for a moment, and then said, "after going to the war alone, the domestic affairs were all dealt with by the state minister, the state captain and the censor Zhongcheng."

"Wei Chen leads the order!" All three of them got up to receive the order of thanks.

Lu Bu nodded and motioned for the three to sit down. Then he said, "after consulting with the Prime Minister of the state, I decided to gather a large army to attack Wuyuan and Shuofang at one stroke when I returned to the grassland, and bring them into the rule of Zhao. So when the lone leader cavalry went out, Zhang Liao, the general of the northern expedition, was in charge. With the assistance of the three prime ministers, they gathered 50000 soldiers to go to Yunzhong County in three months. When the lone leader cavalry returned from the grassland, they attacked Wuyuan County and Shuofang county together. "

On hearing this, Zhang Liao quickly went out and said, "I'll take the order!"

Lu Bu gave a gentle hum, and then said to Chen Gong, "prime minister, are there any changes in other countries?"

Chen Gong got up and said, "don't worry, my Lord. I have ordered the spies to pay close attention to the movements of the surrounding countries. The state of Wei is an ally of our country. Now the attention of the king of Wei is focused on the state of Yan. In addition, there has always been discord between the two countries, so it is impossible for the king of Wei to offend us at this time. "

"As for the state of Tang, according to the information from the spies in the state of Tang, the king of Tang has been fighting for many years since he came to Luoyang. Now all the people in the state of Tang are tired of fighting. In addition, the war between Tang and Qi has caused great losses to the state of Tang. Therefore, the king of Tang has no intention of sending troops this year. From the beginning of the year, the king of Tang began to lead the patrol Depending on the situation at home, we should appease the people. "

"Well!" Lu Bu nodded and said, "I've also seen the information about this. But I heard that the king of Tang played with the king of Qi and made Qi lose most of the land in the East China Sea, so that Wu and the alien Lord named yelaixiang could be adjacent. Is that so? "

"Don't worry, King Tang's move is just to contain Qi's energy, so that he can rest at ease. King, please think about it. If you really let the king of Qi pacify Qingxu, who is the king of Qi going to attack next? It must be the king of the Tang Dynasty, so the king of the Tang Dynasty is to weaken the strength of the state of Qi, and at the same time enhance the strength of the yelaixiang and the king of Wu, so that they can better contain the state of Qi. "

"It's a wonderful plan!" Lu Bu fuzhang said with a smile;

"although the state of Tang has no intention to send troops for the time being, Weichen has already discussed with Guowei and decided to strengthen the defense of the pass cities in the south of Taiyuan and Shangdang counties and adjacent to the state of Tang, so as to prevent the Tang army from sending troops to besiege Wei and ask Zhao when the king and general Zhang attacked Wuyuan." Chen Gong added;

"prime minister, I heard that all the counties in Hedong and Hanoi are building roads and bridges now. Is there any other attempt of the Tang Dynasty?" Zhang Liao was more careful and asked quickly.

"General Zhang, don't worry, I've carefully considered the road and bridge construction in Hanoi and Hedong, and I don't see any other attempt. This is just a positive evaluation of the political achievements of the principal officials of the three counties after the king of Tang visited Wei County, Hanoi and Hedong."

"In the three counties, about 20% of the people were rewarded, and 30% of the people were punished. About half of the county officials had a mediocre performance, and neither reward nor punishment. That's why there was such a big movement in the three counties." Chen Gong replied with a smile;

when everyone heard this, they were all relieved, and Lu Bu was even more smiling. In this way, he felt more at ease when he went out to the Great Wall: "well, general Cao Xing, you will lead 20000 cavalry to go out with Gu, and send orders to go on. The army will be ready for three days. After three days, they will go out to the grassland!"

As soon as they heard this, they got up together to answer the promise.

Three days later, Lu Bu led Cao Xinghe and 50000 cavalry troops out of the north gate of Jinyang and headed north. There are 50000 troops dispatched this time. Among them, 30000 Bingzhou wolf riders are the special arms of Zhao state. Among the 30000 Bingzhou wolf riders, there are about 20000 ordinary wolf riders. Their strength is almost equal to that of the palace account cavalry on the grassland. The remaining 10000 Bingzhou wolf riders are more elite cavalry. They are called blood wolf riders. They are the unique arms of Lv Bu. They can be said to be the strongest cavalry in the world The white horse is better than the white horse.In addition, the 20000 cavalry led by Cao Xing were ordinary cavalry of Zhao state. However, even ordinary cavalry was better than ordinary cavalry of Central Plains. These 50000 cavalry troops are the most elite troops of the state of Zhao. These 50000 people alone have accounted for more than half of the money and food consumed by the troops of the state of Zhao. This is also why Shi a saw Zhao guobu soldiers in the eldest son City, no matter they were soldiers or soldiers of prefectures, they were no small difference from the Tang army.

Like a torrent, 50000 cavalry troops rush to the north. Among the crowd outside the north gate of Jinyang, a middle-aged Ranger just sees this scene one by one. This is Shi ah who rushed to Jinyang from the eldest son city to inquire about intelligence.

Looking at the torrent of cavalry rolling northward, Rao Shi'a was knowledgeable and fell into silence. The state of Tang is strong and powerful, but the cavalry of the whole state of Tang is less than 100000, which sounds more than that of Zhao. However, there are more than ten counties in the state of Tang, and each county has only a few thousand people, but Lubu has only a few counties. Moreover, these places are far less prosperous than the central plains where the state of Tang is located. This shows the importance of cavalry in the state of Zhao.
