The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 581
Now that the horseshoes, double-foot stirrups, and high bridge saddles have been exposed, the secrets of the new harness can be kept from the beginning.

But now Xu An has used the cavalry equipped with new-style horses and horses on the battlefield. In the next liberation war against Liangzhou, Xu An will inevitably use the cavalry equipped with new-style horses and horses.

Soon the secret of the new harness will be revealed. Yuan Shao's Mi Mei, Dong Zhuo's Xuan Tingwei, and the Embroidered Clothes Envoy are not just empty pockets.

Regarding the papermaking and engraving printing techniques hidden in the secret workshop, as well as the uncaptured counterweight catapults controlled by the eagle wolf guards, they can guarantee that the secrets will not be leaked, but the cavalry equipped with new horses may be powerful. Quite a boost, but close combat is impossible without casualties.

It only needs to be intercepted by a war horse equipped with a new harness, and everything will be known to it.

At that time, new horse gear such as horseshoes, double-foot stirrups, and Takahashi saddles will be popularized at a very fast speed.

No one would reject this kind of equipment that is simple to make and uses few materials, but can greatly improve combat effectiveness.

Dong Zhuo occupied Sili and had a large number of cavalry under his command. With the help of new harnesses, Sun Jian's pressure would inevitably increase greatly.

With the help of horseshoes and other things, both the mobility and combat power of the cavalry will be greatly increased.

It is foreseeable that the court of Chendu, which lacks cavalry, will be in trouble under the attack of Dong Zhuojun who has popularized the new harness.

Dong Zhuo's army occupying Luoyang can rely on the high mobility of the cavalry to plunder and harass the surrounding areas.

And if Sun Jian wants to reenact the battle of Taigu Pass, I am afraid it is unlikely. Sun Jian’s current main force is far less than the original battle at Taigu Mountain. To stabilize the situation in Yanzhou, part of the army was seconded to the Yanzhou is used to stabilize Yanzhou and prevent possible invasion by Yuan Shaojun.

The Yellow Turbans in Taishan and the Zang Ba bandit army in Xuzhou are both dangerous and need to be vigilant.

Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou attacked Zang Ba several times, but was defeated by Zang Ba.

Tao Qian has the ability to govern the local area, but he has obvious shortcomings in military affairs and employment, otherwise he would not be so easily deceived by Zang Ba.

However, precisely because of Zang Ba's rebellion, the successive crusades failed, but Tao Qian completely fell to the court of Chendu.

At the beginning of November, Tao Qian formally sent envoys to meet Liu Xie, expressly respecting Liu Xie as emperor, and opened the way to ensure that taxes and taxes would be paid on time and transported to the court of Chendu, and he would accept the appointment of the court.

Xuzhou also became the fifth big state to officially join the Chendu court besides the four states of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and Youzhou.

So far, the tendency of the courts to resist courtesy has been formed.

Yizhou and Jiaozhou were isolated, Xu An sent troops out of Bingzhou to attack Liangzhou, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou was still on the sidelines, but he was somewhat biased towards the court of Chendu, but he still did not let go of all roads, and expressly stated.

In addition to these five states, Xiting Chang'an is located in Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Sili.

And Dongting Chendu sits in the five prefectures of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Youzhou, but Youzhou is about to change hands.

Although Chen Du in the Eastern Court is still in an advantage, this advantage will soon disappear.

It is a foregone conclusion that Youzhou will change hands, and once the new harnesses flow out, Dong Zhuo, who has a large number of cavalry, and Yuan Shao, who is about to own Youzhou, will greatly increase their strength, and the offensive and defensive trends will also be reversed at that time.

All this will happen within two or three years.

Time, time, what Xu An needs most now is also time.

"Send someone to Chang'an. I want to be sure that Dong Zhuo will not accept Han Sui's offer to join forces with him. Find the best person in the Department of Foreign Affairs and make sure this is done!"

Xu An's face was solemn, and he said solemnly.

In the original time and space, after Han Sui and Ma Teng reconciled, they chose to join again. However, they did not give up their power and still ruled Liangzhou, only to wash away the title of traitor.

Facing the crisis this time, it is hard to guarantee that Han Sui will not send an envoy to contact Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo really agreed to Han Sui's offer of service at that time, then Xu An would have to break his face with Dong Zhuo.

Xu An didn't want to quarrel with Dong Zhuo at this time, especially Dong Zhuo who had recovered.

With Dong Zhuo's financial, material and military support at that time, I am afraid that the battle of Liangzhou will turn into a protracted war, a battle in which the gains outweigh the losses.

The generals under his command are elite, and the steps under his command are indeed brave.

But even after several years of development, the current Xu An is not qualified to fight a tug-of-war or a war of attrition.

Now there are more than [-] million people under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army, which is almost the same as the apparent population of the Sili land occupied by Dong Zhuo.

But when it comes to financial and material resources, Dong Zhuo can beat Xu An by a street.

The land of Sili and the land of Guanzhong are the most affluent places in the world, and the remote and bitter cold places are far inferior.

In the past, the furniture belonging to a wealthy and powerful family in Bingzhou was not as good as the furniture of a powerful and powerful family seized in a county of Hedong County, Weibu of Sili, which shows the wealth of Sili.

Xu An looked around at the messy battlefield, and the strong smell of blood lingered in his mouth and nose.

Dong Zhuo picked himself up again, more than he expected.

Everything changed, everything was messed up, and the plans he had made were disrupted one after another.

Xu An let out a foul breath, and a sense of heaviness flooded his heart.

"Send a letter to Guo Tai, asking him to prepare for our quarrel with Dong Zhuo, and then mobilize [-] reserve troops to go south to Hedong County. I want to ensure that Hedong County has enough troops."

Xu An's face darkened, and he gave the order in a cold voice, then looked at Liu Pi who was beside him, and asked.

"Is the cavalry under Yuvro ready?"

Liu Piwei thought for a while, and then replied: "The preparations have been completed, we only left the elite old soldiers, and the rest have been sent back to Yunzhong, Shuofang, Xihe and other places. Now there are [-] cavalry in Guiyi Camp. people."

Xu An pondered for a while, and said.

"Then send them to Hedong County together. Zhang Yang is now idle in Jinyang, let him be the deputy general."

"Hedong County has a lot to do with it, and we must not take it lightly."

Xu An knocked on the Hu table in front of him, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said in a deep voice.

"Han Sui's defeat this time, there is one more thing to beware of."

"The Liangzhou coalition forces were defeated in Chencang before, and the kingdom was killed by Han Sui, who annexed most of the kingdom's territory and military power. If Ma Teng hadn't been vigilant enough, I'm afraid Liangzhou is now under Han Sui's control. "

"Our army defeated Gaopingchuan this time, and Ma Teng suffered heavy losses. Although Han Sui's strength was compromised, it was not fatal. I am afraid that he will use this defeat to make some fuss, and even take this opportunity to quickly occupy Ma Teng's territory."

Xu An's eyes were slightly sharp, and he said coldly.

"As soon as the day dawned, the Bingzhou camp set off immediately, led the Xianbei riders all the way to attack the southwest, took the Boluo Valley, and went straight to Hanyang County through the Boluo Valley. I will take the army there in three days. Before that, I will The Bingzhou camp suppressed the Liangzhou army in Hanyang County for me."

Xu An raised his head and said solemnly to Liu Pi.

"Let the Eagle Guards in Liangzhou take action. I want to know what's going on in Liangzhou. I want to know Han Sui's whereabouts and their movements."

Xu An possessed himself slightly, staring at the map of Liangzhou, and his voice was extremely low.

"I want Eagle Guard to hand over the information to me at all costs, and I want to ensure that everything is under control!"
