[Combinable entries: war horses that can be summoned; voices that can be summoned. 】

[Please select a combined entry or temporarily save the entry. 】

Summonable warhorse?Still a voice that can be summoned.

Since the notepad did not give any more information in advance, Liu Xuan's definition of this voice was still somewhat vague.

It's probably something like inner thoughts. In comparison, the summonable war horse is easier to understand.

Liu Xuan thought for a while and issued an order:

"Combo: Summonable War Horse"

[Successful combination: Get a summonable war horse (blue)]

[Summonable war horse: A war horse that lives in dimensional space and can be summoned out of thin air. 】

[War horse attributes]

[Speed: Excellent
Endurance: Excellent
Weight-bearing: excellent
Combat awareness: excellent]

Great, all four.

There was a flash of light, and a whistle as thick as a finger appeared in a hidden corner. Liu Xuan's consciousness moved and he called out the whistle.

[Please select the person to whom the war horse belongs]

[Attributable objects: Liu Xuan; Zhao Liniang; Lu Bu; Beigong Ling]

It turns out that the entry combined this time can also be selected to take effect. In addition to himself, the other three people can also take effect.

"Object of ownership: Beigong Ling"

[The ownership is successful, Bei Gongling activates the right to use the whistle]

Liu Xuan shook the whistle in his palm. It was very small in shape. There was a small hole at the top of the whistle. It seemed that it could be hung on the body like a pendant.

At night, Bei Gongling quietly touched Liu Xuan's room again.

Seeing the autumn water in Bei Gong Ling's eyes, Liu Xuan knew that tonight was another night to keep fit.

Ever since Bei Gong Ling took the body-tempering pills, her physical fitness was already extremely good, and now she is even more energetic.

And after a winter of nourishment, Bei Gong Ling's girlish temperament has gradually faded.

Instead, there is a kind of wild charm, and the bold and straightforward Qiang and Hu women are fully reflected in her.

There is also a saying that if a boy is strong, the girl will support the wall; if a girl is strong, the boy will lie flat on his back.

After the New Year, Liu Xuan had completely settled down.

Seeing Bei Gong Ling coming forward, Liu Xuan took out a whistle as thick as his finger.
Passed it to Bei Gongling's mouth, "Here, blow it."

A strange look flashed across Bei Gong Ling's face, and she chuckled: "A new trick? What is this?"

"Well, you can call it Xiao," Liu Xuan said with a bad smile, "You can try playing it."

Bei Gongling obediently took the whistle and blew it.
The flute sounds,
"His law~"

Then he saw an extraordinary white horse appear out of thin air in the open space in the room.

The horse's body, which is nearly two meters tall, is all white without a trace of hair.

Liu Xuan's dark room became much brighter with the appearance of this horse.

Bei Gong Ling's eyes were full of brilliance. As the leader of the grassland, Bei Gong Ling was very familiar with war horses, but the countless horses he had seen in the past were not as impressive as this war horse.

"Liu Lang, what is this?"

"Given to you." Liu Xuan smiled and handed the whistle into Bei Gongling's hands, and taught her how to summon and retrieve it.

"In the future, you can summon this war horse at any time to cooperate with your teleportation technique. Although it is not invincible, there is no problem in self-protection."

Liu Xuan naturally had his own intention in combining this war horse.

The Hetao Plain is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and Bei Gongling refuses to follow him back to Yangzhou, so he can only give her more life-saving skills.

Although Bei Gong Ling has teleportation skills, he can only teleport a hundred meters, and up to two times a day, with an interval of at least ten seconds.

If he faced an enemy in the future, Bei Gongling would rely on the teleportation technique to kill the opponent's leader, and then he could summon a war horse to escape.

Bei Gongling naturally understood what Liu Xuan meant and rushed over happily.
He put his hands around Liu Xuan's neck and said coquettishly: "Liu Lang still cares about me the most."

After saying that, he put his mouth close to Liu Xuan's face and pecked it lightly, then let go of Liu Xuan, "Then I'm leaving first!"

Liu Xuan was caught off guard and said subconsciously: "Hey, where are you going?"

Bei Gongling picked up his whistle and pointed it at the war horse, and the war horse disappeared instantly.
He neatly opened the door and went out, leaving behind a tough word that echoed in the room,

"I'm going to ride a horse first, and then I'll ride you later."

. . .

In March of Yangchun, the weather is getting warmer.

The snow in the north had almost melted, and news came from Yangzhou scouts that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north had once again gathered their armies to prepare for a battle to decide the ownership of the Central Plains.

Seeing that there was no major incident in the Hetao Plain, Liu Xuan said goodbye to Beigong Ling and returned to Yangzhou.

One winter passed, and after Zhao Liniang and Jia Xu's painstaking arrangements, the southern part of Yuzhou and Xuzhou that were captured last year were basically reorganized.

Although the people in these two states were under Cao Cao's rule before, the name of Huaiyang King Liu Xuan was not unfamiliar to them.

Many aristocratic families and merchants even have financial dealings with Liu Xuan's bank.
Therefore, there is basically no resistance to Liu Xuan's rule.
However, there are still some scholar-bureaucrats and other scholars who are still worried about Liu Xuan's reputation for regicide, and they criticize him from time to time.

Liu Xuan has no time to argue with them now. Since the mission has been activated, let's investigate the case and find the real culprit. These people will naturally shut up.

To the north, Yuan Shao once again assembled 11 troops. After retaking Liyang, Chen Bing went to the north of Baima.

Cao Cao had already recovered from last year's defeat. He mobilized troops from Yanzhou and Qingzhou, with Guo Jia as his military advisor, at the junction of Yanzhou and Jizhou.

A vigorous battle began with Yuan Shao's army.

Because Baima Port is too narrow to accommodate more than 20 troops fighting,

The entire river was opened up as a battlefield, with legions fighting in Baima, Yanjin, Liyang and other places.

Both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had elite troops and separated several battlefields. Each battlefield was equipped with generals and military advisors.

In order to train his sons, Yuan Shao this time appointed his three sons Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang as commanders of the army.
Responsible for their respective battlefields.

Of course, Yuan Shao just gave them the title of commander-in-chief. He had his own generals from Hebei to charge into the battle, and there were also military advisors who accompanied the army to make plans.

The war started for more than a month, and both sides had their own victories and defeats.

Because of his merit in purchasing alloy steel armor, Yuan Tan successfully got into the command of the Iron Armor Battalion.

The [-] armored battalions are all elite men selected from hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Everyone is wearing alloy steel armor, and their combat power has increased.Looking at the record of each legion, the Iron Armored Regiment's record is leading, leaving the second-ranked legion led by Yuan Shang far behind.

Such an excellent record naturally made Yuan Tan even more outstanding. Even Yuan Shao, who always only praised Yuan Shang, couldn't help but praise Yuan Tan several times.

On this day, Liu Xuan, who was handling government affairs in Guangling, received a report from his bodyguard that a man came from Hebei and asked to see Liu Xuan secretly.

Liu Xuan asked someone to bring someone in. The person who came was also a young man. He looked very similar to Yuan Tan. His clothes and behavior also revealed the aura of a young master from an aristocratic family.

"Yuan Shang, I have met His Highness the King of Huaiyang."

It turned out that the person who secretly asked for a meeting was Yuan Shang.

When Yuan Shang met Liu Xuan for the first time, he behaved much more humbly than Yuan Tan, with a flattering look on his face.

Liu Xuan had doubts in his heart and said: "It turns out that he is the young master of Mr. Yuan. He really has the style of caring for his father."

"I wonder what brings young master to Guangling?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Huaiyang, I'm here to purchase alloy steel armor." Yuan Shang directly explained his purpose of coming without any hesitation.

"Oh? Are you here to buy alloy steel armor too? Didn't your brother already come and buy five thousand sets before?"

Liu Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that my alloy steel armor is very popular with Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Shang said: "Alloy steel armor is indeed a powerful weapon for killing enemies. My brother relied on [-] elite armored battalions to defeat Cao Cao several times. My father greatly appreciated it. Yuan Shang also wanted to share his father's worries, so he took the initiative to buy some alloy from His Highness the King of Huaiyang. Steel armor.”

Liu Xuan secretly thought that it seemed that the fight between Yuan Shao's eldest son and his youngest son for power was not groundless.

Yuan Shang came to buy alloy steel armor this time, obviously because he was competing with Yuan Tan and wanted to show off in front of Yuan Shao.

He said, "How many sets are you planning to buy, young master? But let me explain first, my alloy steel armor is expensive."

Yuan Shang nodded and replied: "Of course I know. I just hope that the price offered by the King of Huaiyang will not be higher than the price offered to my brother."

"That's natural. If you buy enough, 20 for a set, you won't get a penny more."

"That's it," Yuan Shang said excitedly, "I also want to buy five thousand sets."

Liu Xuan nodded and said: "Five thousand sets of alloy steel armor are available in the Guangling arsenal. Young Master, please go and get the money immediately. I will help you deliver the goods to Hejian County."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang did not leave, but stood there and rubbed his hands.
He smiled and said to Liu Xuan: "Your Highness the King of Huaiyang, there is no need to withdraw money. Can't your bank lend money? I will just lend money directly."

"What do you mean?" Liu Xuan frowned and looked at Yuan Shang.

Why is this guy using himself for entertainment?
Lend me money and buy my stuff?

Yuan Shang did not feel inappropriate at all, "One billion dollars is not a small amount, and my father may not be able to agree to it. Therefore, this purchase is my personal behavior. I also know enough about King Huaiyang's bank. As long as there is a mortgage, it can indeed be done." It’s a loan, right?”

"This is a billion dollars, what kind of loan do you want?"

Yuan Shang blinked and said slowly: "How about taking the loan from Bohai County?"

"My father asked me to be the governor of Bohai County and to govern Bohai. Therefore, I still have the final say on the ownership of Bohai County."

For one county, a loan of one billion yuan is indeed feasible in terms of value.

But the land cannot be moved. According to past rules, Liu Xuan would not agree.

It can be expected that the person opposite is Yuan Shao's favorite son Yuan Shang. In addition, Yuan Tan came to buy alloy steel armor before.

Liu Xuan vaguely felt that there must be something else going on here.

Then he said slowly: "Although there is no precedent for taking out a loan from Bohai County, the young master is the son of Mr. Yuan. I can reluctantly make it easier for you."

"But how can I trust your sincerity? If you turn your back and refuse to admit it, can I still move Bohai County here?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shang seemed to have been prepared. He took out a seal from his arms, which turned out to be the seal of Bohai County Governor.

"I can make an IOU in the name of Bohai County Sheriff, and this seal is also pledged here."

Liu Xuandao: "In that case, let's set up an IOU, but I'm going to say something ugly first. If the young master fails to pay the monthly interest or fails to repay the principal when it is due, I will take it from Bohai County."

The agreement between the two parties was concluded, and Yuan Shang indeed established an IOU and left the seal of the Bohai Governor with Liu Xuan.

After signing the signature, Yuan Shang said: "Oh, by the way, Yuan Shang has another unkind request. If my father sends someone to ask about this matter, the King of Huaiyang will say that the alloy steel armor I purchased only costs [-] yuan a set." , is it possible?”

Liu Xuan nodded, "Young Master is a customer. This request is not too much. I will remember it."

. . .

Jizhou, Yecheng.

When word spread that Yuan Shang bought [-] sets of alloy steel armor at a price of [-] yuan a set, Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

He praised his younger son for his ability to do things.

And he gritted his teeth and spent [-] million yuan from Jizhou's treasury to fill Yuan Shang's treasury.

After all, according to what Yuan Shang said, he spent the money from his Bohai County treasury, and at the same time sold most of his belongings just to rebuild an armored army for his father.

How could Yuan Shao not love such a caring young son?

The 5000-armored battalion soon became [-] men.

With this outstanding performance, Yuan Shang successfully persuaded Yuan Shao to assign [-] armored battalions to his command.

Although Yuan Tan was not happy, his weight in Yuan Shao's heart was far less than that of Yuan Shang, so in the end he could only stare.

Yuan Shao's combat power strengthened again, and he soon took the initiative to launch the next round of attacks on Cao Cao.

On Cao Cao's side, although Guo Jia was planning in every possible way, there was no good way to face Yuan Shao's elite who had alloy steel armor.

Yuan Shao's armored battalion was already very powerful, and it was specially equipped with military advisors, making it difficult for Guo Jia to find any flaws.

Therefore, although Cao Cao had a slight advantage on other battlefields, facing two legions with alloy steel armor, Cao Cao's army was unable to resist and retreated steadily.

Yuan Shao's army took advantage of the situation to attack Baima, and tens of thousands of troops re-entered Yanzhou.

The two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang seemed to be competing secretly. Each led his legion to attack the city and was invincible along the way.

After all, Yuan Shang was a few years younger, and the counselors around him were not disciplined, and the selection of marriages was not as good as that of Tian Feng Jushou, who was beside Yuan Tan. Soon, his military achievements fell behind Yuan Tan again.

However, just when Yuan Shao's army invaded the hinterland of Yanzhou, a secret letter was quietly delivered to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia looked at the secret letter, raised the corner of his mouth, and then flashed a look of contempt.

After that, he immediately made adjustments to the deployment of his troops.

In May 204 AD, Yuan Shao's army invaded Yanzhou.

The eldest son Yuan Tan led [-] armored regiments and [-] Hebei elites to attack Puyang.
Eight thousand armored troops were the vanguard and when they reached the outskirts of Dongjun, Yuan Tan received Yuan Shao's order.

He was ordered to lead eight thousand armored troops to march quickly, take the mountain path and bypass Puyang, and prepare to launch an offensive against Puyang.

Yuan Tan did not doubt that he was there, so he immediately led his army to move quickly, distanced himself from the rear army, and took the mountain road straight to Puyang.

Little did he know that in the Hulu Valley at the end of the mountain road, Guo Jia had already set a certain death situation for him.
