Chapter 1176

Shu Zhao wanted to persuade him again, but he was stopped by Huangfu Chaobo, saying: "I know what the meaning of the Supreme Commander is, but I have discussed it with the generals and the military strategists, and there is no problem. This time I came to inspect the counties in Hebei, the prefect should be able to guess the meaning of loneliness. I wonder if the defense prefect of Hanoi has carefully confirmed with the generals? "

"Please rest assured that Wei Chen, general Hua Xiong and general Qiao Rui had already visited Hanoi's cities and passes a few years ago. Although they dare not boast that they are as solid as gold, they are not easily attacked by the Zhao army. General Dong is now stationed in tianjingguan and mengmengmengguan, and his defense is constantly strengthened every year. " Shu Zhao replied;

"well, the matter of Hanoi is left to the prefect Shu and general Huaxiong. I believe the prefect should understand the importance of Hanoi in the Tang Dynasty. If Hanoi fails, there will be instability in Hedong, Henan and Weijun. If Hanoi is stable, there will be no harm in the three prefectures."

"I understand that I will live up to the trust of the king."

Just at this time, Gao Shun reported from the outside: "I'm going to report to the king that Huaxiong, the commander of baotao camp, is asking to see you outside!"

"Pass on!" Huangfu Chaobo road;

a moment later, Hua Xiong enters the hall under the leadership of Gao Shun.

"My humble minister Hua Xiong calls on the king!" Hua Xiong, who entered the hall, quickly walked to Huangfu Chaobo, more than ten steps away, knelt down and said respectfully,

"Aiqing, flat!"

"Thank you

"The general comes just in time. Gu Zheng wants to ask how the recruitment of the iron cavalry in Xiliang is going?"

"Report back to the king, the soldiers have been recruited, but this horse..." Hua Xiong replied quickly;

"what's wrong with the horses? If there were no horses in the Tang Dynasty, there would be no surplus horses in the rest of the world. " Huang Fu Chao Bo said with a smile;

"back to the king, there are a large number of horses in Tang Dynasty, but these horses are not suitable for Xiliang cavalry." Hua Xiong's words surprised Huangfu Chaobo and asked him why.

Nowadays, there are many kinds of war horses in the Han Dynasty, the most of which are mainly Youhe horses and Liangzhou horses, but there are great differences between the two kinds of horses.

The war horses in Youzhou and Bingzhou are actually called Mongolian horses in reality. This kind of horse is characterized by good breeding and strong endurance, which is very suitable for long-distance heavy-duty travel. Therefore, whether it is Youzhou or Bingzhou, the cavalry is mainly flexible.

Liangzhou horse is not the same as Youbing horse. Liangzhou horse is not good at foot strength, but it is better than Youbing horse in weight bearing ability and explosive power. So Liangzhou cavalry fight directly, not Youbing horse.

Huaxiong's special arms are the Xiliang cavalry, which must be equipped with Liangzhou horses. But today's Tang Dynasty is dominated by Mongolian horses, and there are very few Liangzhou horses. Huaxiong's Xiliang cavalry has suffered losses all these years. Fortunately, when he was pacifying Hedong, he got some Liangzhou horses from Dong Zhuo, but now he hasn't bought any horses from Xiliang for several years .

This time Huaxiong recruited Xiliang cavalry, but there was a lack of Xiliang horses, so there were not enough horses. Fortunately, although not all Xiliang cavalry were equipped with two Xiliang horses, one for each person was more than enough. After discussing with Hua Xiong, Huangfu Chaobo decided that the 10000 Xiliang cavalry would ride Mongolian horses when they were marching. When the war started, they would change to Xiliang horses which were more suitable for the battle. Only in this way could the problem of war horses be solved.

After solving the problem of war horse, Hua Xiong was very happy, but he said to Huangfu Chaobo with a shy face: "my Lord, this cavalry has been recruited in place. Next time, will you send the last general to lead the battle? You know, this elite can be fought, not trained. If you want this Xiliang cavalry to become a real elite army, you need to make it fight continuously. ”

Huangfu Chaobo gave him a sidelong glance and said, "if you think carefully, I still don't know. The real purpose of making Xiliang cavalry into an elite force for me is that you can't stay idle, can you?"

"Haha, the king knows everything. The last general's mind was seen through by the king. It's true..." Hua Xiong continued to flatter him, but he didn't know how to say it.

Pang Tong was laughing while Shu Zhao was smiling.

Huangfu Chaobo also laughed. After a while, he said to Hua Xiong, "don't worry. If you have a chance, you will transfer your Xiliang cavalry. I just hope your Xiliang cavalry won't disappoint you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. If a little rabbit dares to play loose, he won't have to ask. Some family will peel his skin in person. Hey, hey... " As soon as Hua Xiong heard this, he immediately jumped up and swore to swear;

Huangfu Chaobo also knew Hua Xiong's mind. As a general who had taken refuge in himself before Zhao Yun, although his ability was quite different from Zhao Yun, now Zhao Yungui is the Marquis of Xiguan Pavilion, but his merits even differ a lot from those of the Marquis of Guannei. There is no reason why he is not in a hurry.

When he was promoted to Jin Jue, he was promoted a lot, but his title was far away. Hua Xiong was not in a hurry. This time, when Huangfu Chaobo came to Hanoi, he asked for a fight in front of him, which was also the reason why Hua Xiong was worried about his merits.In fact, Hua Xiong is not the only one. Among all the civil servants in the Tang Dynasty, everyone is holding a breath and wants to be a wife and son, a marquis and a prime minister as soon as possible.

Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo finally agreed to transfer himself to fight, Hua Xiong was not happy.

……

Just when Huangfu Chaobo discussed with Shu Zhao and Huaxiong about Hanoi's defense and army, a big war broke out quietly in Donghai state as far away as Xuzhou. Yelaixiang, the general of light truck, and Sunce, the king of Wu, suddenly launched an attack on Donghai County of Qi from the north and south directions. Unexpectedly, the Taishou of the East China Sea of Qi didn't respond. However, in more than ten days, the two generals had no reaction The family successively captured several cities of Zhuqi, Ganyu, Licheng, huaipu, Haixi, Quyang, houqiu and Qu counties in Donghai County, and the two allied forces went directly to Tan county, the administrative center of Donghai County.

At this time, the whole state of Qi didn't understand. They were all cheated by the state of Tang. The whole nation turned their eyes to the state of Tang in the West. Who knew that the state of Wu and the state of yelaixiang had united to stab themselves in the back.

Today, only Tan county and a few cities in the West are left in the eastern County, and the other cities are all captured by the two. In this way, yelaixiang, which was originally besieged in a corner by the state of Qi, is successfully adjacent to the state of Wu, and the places where the state of Qi wants to capture yelaixiang are not as simple as before.

In a rage, Cao Cao, the king of Qi, was ready to enlist an army to attack yelaixiang. However, he was finally persuaded by the officials, because now the army of Tang is still in the West. If he really marched eastward, it's hard to guarantee that the state of Tang would not take advantage of the fire. At that time, the state of Qi would not steal chicken and eat rice.

As a result, the war broke out and stopped quickly in Donghai County. The three families soon stopped fighting and entered into a strange confrontation. As a result, both yelaixiang and Huangfu Chaobo were relieved.
