Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 136 135. Liaodong Zhang Family
The second phase of the Grassland Plan, 'Grain and Grass Replacement', has already started.

Then the third stage 'muddy water' will also be carried out.

But there is no rush.

Zhang Qi is waiting.

Wait until the sixth-generation horse in the world of riding and chopping grows up.

The war horses completed in the past have now multiplied to the sixth generation.

Most of the excellent lineage of the riding and chopping war horse has been inherited.

Zhang Qi did a test.

With a load of four hundred catties, the limit of the five-generation horse is to run continuously at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour for one and a half hours.

And after an hour and a half at full speed, the physical recovery speed of the five-generation horse was also tested.

As long as there is enough nourishment, the fifth-generation horse can recover within half an hour and go forward at full speed for up to an hour again.

This is already exaggerated, the five generations of horses alone are actually enough for Zhang Qi to aspire to the status of the overlord of the grassland.

It is a pity that the number of horses of the fifth generation is too small, less than 600.

After several rounds of mating, the [-] mares out of [-] five-generation horses have all had four births.

Now there are [-] two-year-old sixth-generation horses, [-] one-year-old sixth-generation horses, and [-] new-born sixth-generation horses.

Zhang Qi still has to wait three years for the world of riding and cutting, and bring out the thousand, two hundred six-generation horses in batches and arm them, and then start the 'muddy water' project.

muddy water.

It is the third stage of Zhang Qi's plan for the grassland Han area.

In this stage, Zhang Qi needs to play the role of two forces, one side as the Huns and the bandits, and the other as the Huns who returned to the Han army to hunt the bandits.

But Zhang Qi only has one, so one of the troops cannot get the convenience he can provide, and can only rely on traditional supplies for war.

In order to ensure that the implementation of this plan minimizes Zhang Qi's losses, a cavalry unit that comes and goes like the wind is needed.

That's why Zhang Qicai has to wait for the sixth generation of horses to grow up.

As for the 10,000 stallions among the five generations of horses, he has already brought out [-] of them and sent them back to Xianbei to serve as stallions. Given the huge number of horses in the outside world, by this time next year, he will be able to get tens of thousands or even [-]. + A tall horse with excellent pedigree.

Although the genes of outside horses are bound to dilute this excellent lineage, it is enough.

"Why should the prefect worry too much? The Xiongnu invasion of the border may be a bad thing for the other four counties, but for you, this is a rare political achievement."

Liaodong Taishou Mansion.

Lu Mu sat down and Liaodong prefect Zhang Yi tasted their respective tea soup.

The oil flowers are bright and fragrant, and it is a rare high-quality tea.

The processing tools are on the side, there are more than a dozen pieces of various kinds, and there are many spices that are usually rare to see.

"Counselor Lu's words are true."

Holding a tea bowl to taste Lu Mu's increasingly proficient pao tea craftsmanship, the prefect Zhang Yi's eyes turned slightly.

The last time Lu Mu told him about being kidnapped by Wuhuan, he also said with a smile that he survived because of his status as a counselor of the Liaodong prefect. The forces behind it really gave Lu Mu the status of counselor.

To put it bluntly, a counselor is a staff officer, a counselor, an official of any level by whoever is around, and the real power depends entirely on the meaning of the superior.

And with the help of the three thousand heads of the Xiongnu last time, Zhang Yi really showed his face in front of Liu Che, received countless rewards, and even had the power to control and dispatch troops.

After taking a sip of the hot tea soup, Lu Mu squinted his eyes comfortably: "Outside the Great Wall of Liaodong is the territory of Wuhuan and Xianbei. Both clans have handed tokens to the Lord. With them here, the Lord only needs to care about the Liaoxi side." Beware of the Xiongnu looting Liaodong from western Liaoning."

"Also, compared to the other four counties that can only close the city and occupy the enemy, the prefect must not forget that you still have a Han army that can behead [-] Huns."

Lu Mu nodded lightly.

Zhang Yi suddenly understood, laughed twice, and drank the last sip of tea soup in the bowl. The mellow aroma of oil and spices is enough to make the drinker feel refreshed.

"Haha, Counselor Lu's tea making skills have improved again. The tea soup is as delicious as this old man's."

Seeing what Zhang Yi said, Lu Mu also understood the meaning, took a sip of tea soup and said with a smile:

"How can it compare to the prefect's tea art? It's a pity that my lord has lived in the grassland for a long time. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to enjoy this mellow tea soup. I don't know if there is still room for my lord. You might as well send some over so that my lord can serve the prefect Patriarch grassland wholeheartedly." .”

"Well, good idea. Your master is in the bitter cold place outside the Great Wall, but he needs some nourishing things. Come here, decorate with some tea ingredients, ginseng, and prepare gifts to show my sincerity."

The servant cupped his hands, turned and left, leaving only Lu Mu and Zhang Yi in the room.

After knocking on the table, Zhang Yi's expression changed: "Are you sure that your master can stop the Huns outside the Great Wall of Liaodong?"

"Of course, the previous head is a clear proof. The prefect must have checked it, but it was the head of a Hun cavalry."

Zhang Yi nodded: "This is the truth."

"But as you said, what should we do if the Xiongnu flooded into Liaodong from western Liaoning? The soldiers under my rule are no different from those of the other four counties. They all need to rely on the power of the city defense to hold the enemy. In this way, my situation is not the same as that of the other four counties. !"

"The prefect's words still show that you can't trust my lord, and my lord's sincerity is in vain."

Lu Mu laughed at himself.

But Zhang Yi waved his hand: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I take the initiative to let the soldiers of the grassland enter. I dare not take such a risk."

Lu Mu laughed even more: "Hahaha, prefect, did you let the Huns in?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yi was stunned, yes, what's the difference between letting go and not letting go?
The Great Wall has never been used to guard against people, but to guard against horses, but the Great Wall is too long, and grassland people can always find openings to come in.

Seeing that Zhang Yi remained silent for a long time, Lu Mu spoke again.

"Prefect, dare to say one more thing, my lord"

"But it's also Zhang."

Zhang Yi turned his head and looked directly into Lu Mu's eyes. Lu Mu looked at each other without fear.

After a long time, Zhang Yi caressed his long beard and smiled: "The surname doesn't mean anything, but I have a young girl, and now she looks very good in her [-]th birthday. I wonder if your lord has a wife?"

Lu Mu's heart skipped a beat, this is a complete cooperation.

Immediately stood up and cupped his hands: "My lord doesn't have a wife, but you need to ask my lord about the marriage, and I dare not make a private opinion."

Zhang Yi still stroked his long beard lightly: "Then tell your lord that as my son-in-law, you can get Zhang's full strength."

For a force outside the Great Wall that has shown excellent potential and has a strong desire to return to Han, Zhang Yi also has the intention of wooing such a talent.

Lu Mu made a long bow: "This matter is very good, I will definitely deal with it from the sidelines, and I hope that this marriage will be good!"

For the Zhang family, a big family in Liaodong, if they can help, it will also be of great help to the great cause of his lord. Lu Mu wants to facilitate it from the bottom of his heart, but it is still the same sentence, only Zhang Qi must make a decision on this matter. Right, he has no right to make private claims.
