The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 362 I want you to build a heavy cavalry

After leaving the air force barracks, Sun Ce returned to the government.

Enter the backyard and come to Lu Bu's study door.

He cupped his hands to the study and said, "Chuhou, I'm back."

"Bo Fu is back so soon." Lu Bu's voice came from the study, "Go into the room and talk."

Walking into the study, Sun Ce bowed and said to Lu Bu: "According to the order of Marquis Chu, I went to the air force barracks. Taishi Ziyi has already taken over the paratroopers. He was busy practicing when I arrived."

"Busy about training?" Lu Bu asked, "Even if he has already gone, at most he only took over yesterday. Could it be possible to train paratroopers now?"

"It's really practicing." Sun Ce replied: "Taishi Ziyi seems to have a strong interest in skydiving. I have known him for a long time, and I know him well. If he is interested in something, he will definitely Get it figured out, until there is nothing worth pondering, and then throw it aside."

"Tai Shici still has such a temperament." Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said to Sun Ce, "If you hadn't told me, I really don't know."

Knowing that Tai Shici has gone to the Air Force and also likes skydiving, Lu Bu looked very happy.

There was a trace of hesitation on Sun Ce's face, and he finally said to Lu Bu: "Marquis Chu, there is one more thing I think I should report..."

Seeing the embarrassment on Sun Ce's face, Lu Bu asked, "Is there anything else you want to say? Bo Fu just speaks the truth, there is no need to have any scruples."

"Just now I told General Zhao that the Marquis of Chu intends to ask Zijing to take over the Air Force..." Sun Ce lowered his head and said, "I didn't intend to say it at first, it was just a quick talk..."

Lu Bu froze for a moment, then looked at Sun Ce in astonishment: "Did you talk to Zilong?"

"Exactly." Sun Ce bowed his head and replied, "I beg the Marquis of Chu to surrender."

"It is indeed a crime that should be punished." Lu Bu said, "You found me something for no reason."

"General Zhao didn't say anything." Sun Ce replied, "He shouldn't have any thoughts..."

"You're not him, how do you know he has no ideas?" Lu Bu ordered: "Go to the air force barracks again, invite Zilong over, and just say that I have something to say to him."

It can be seen from Lu Bu's performance that he attaches great importance to this matter, so Sun Ce agreed and left the study.

When he arrived at the air force barracks, Zhao Yun was still training soldiers.

It's just that Zhao Yun's complexion is not particularly good-looking compared to when he came before.

"General Zhao." Sun Ce stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Chu, please come to the study for a briefing."

"The Marquis of Chu called me over?" Zhao Yun asked, "Can General Sun reveal why?"

"I don't know very well." Having already said something and missed it once, Sun Ce of course didn't dare to say more: "General Zhao just goes there, I'm just here to pass on a message."

Knowing that there was nothing to be asked from Sun Ce, Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "Please General Sun to lead the way."

Sun Ce led Zhao Yun out of the air force barracks.

Zhao Yun asked: "May I ask General Sun, if the Marquis of Chu came to see me, is he going to resign from my position as commander of the Air Force?"

"Probably not." Sun Ce replied: "He didn't mention this matter, he just asked me to invite General Zhao."

The more Sun Ce refused to speak, the more confused Zhao Yun became.

Followed Sun Ce to the official residence, entered the backyard and went outside the door of the study.

Zhao Yun was waiting outside the study, while Sun Ce went to the door and said to Lu Bu who was in the room, "Marquis Chu, I have invited General Zhao here."

"Quickly invite Zilong to talk inside." Lu Bu's voice came from the study.

Sun Ce said to Zhao Yun, "General Zhao, the Marquis of Chu has an invitation."

"Thank you, General Sun." Zhao Yun thanked Sun Ce again, and then walked into the study.

Lu Bu in the study heard footsteps and looked up.

Seeing that it was Zhao Yun, he said with a smile on his face, "Zilong is finally here. I have been waiting for quite a while."

"Dare to ask Marquis Chu, but do you have any orders?" On the way, he was still guessing whether Lu Bu was going to remove his air force commander, and it was not easy to ask more questions in front of Lu Bu, so Zhao Yun could only bow and salute.

"Bo Fu told me just now that he mentioned to Zilong that I have plans to ask you to command the cavalry." Lu Bu smiled and asked Zhao Yun: "I invite Zilong to come here, but I actually want to ask Zilong what he means. .Would you prefer the air force, or would you rather lead cavalry on horseback?"

Zhao Yun replied, "I will do whatever the Marquis of Chu wants me to do."

"If the air force hadn't had Zilong, it wouldn't have grown to its current size." Lu Bu sighed and said, "To be honest, I always feel a little worried when you are transferred from the air force to lead the cavalry. By then the cavalry will grow stronger." , in case the Air Force is abandoned again..."

"I heard that Marquis Chu intends to ask Lu Zijing to take over the Air Force." Zhao Yun asked suddenly.

"I really have this idea." Lu Bu said: "In the future, most of the air force's raids behind the enemy will be done by paratroopers. The future role of the glider should be to detect the enemy's situation. Keeping you there will indeed limit you. I don’t need to fight on the battlefield anymore, it’s fine if someone like Lu Zijing who doesn’t understand martial arts takes over. But if Zilong is reluctant to part with the air force, I won’t force it.”

When Sun Ce mentioned that Lu Bu wanted to transfer him from the air force, Zhao Yun really couldn't figure it out.

After Lu Bu's explanation, Zhao Yun's mood improved a lot.

If the Air Force really doesn't have to fight anymore, it really doesn't make sense for him to stay.

As a military commander, not being able to fight the enemy would really make him feel depressed.

He asked Lu Bu, "What does Marquis Chu mean, that the glider will no longer be used to land behind the enemy's back?"

"Exactly." Lu Bu replied, "Now that we have paratroopers, wouldn't it be costly to use a glider to land behind the enemy? What paratroopers can do, glider is no longer suitable. For this matter, I also thought about it for a long time. There are not many horses in Xuzhou now, but I will try my best to get some more horses. With enough horses, I believe that the cavalry led by Zilong will also deter the enemy and become a force that cannot be underestimated."

Looking at Zhao Yun, Lu Bu asked again: "I wonder if Zilong would like to stay in the air force, or would he help me train an elite cavalry?"

"Chuhou can trust me, so I will definitely bring out the cavalry." The air force will only be responsible for reconnaissance and other tasks in the future. Of course, Zhao Yun does not want to stay there to dawdle. If his martial arts are not displayed, he will really feel that he is It's useless.

"Now there are only 4000 or [-] Xuzhou cavalry." Lu Bu said, "Although the number is small, it is more spectacular and complicated than the air force. When Lu Zijing returned to Pengcheng, Zilong first handed over the air force, and then Go and take over the cavalry."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu sighed: "It will take time to make these adjustments, but unfortunately we have no chance. The day to crusade against Cao Cao is getting closer, Lu Zijing will take over the air force for a short time, and you will not have time to practice when you take over the cavalry. Can experience soldiers on the battlefield."

"Experience on the battlefield is better than on the school field." Zhao Yun replied: "Since the Chuhou entrusted me with the Air Force, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Lu Bu stood up, walked towards Zhao Yun, patted his arm lightly and said, "Actually, Zilong also knows that there are not many people available under my command. I was thinking about it before, trying to find a suitable one. People command the cavalry. In the future, the cavalry is a force that cannot be ignored. Especially for frontal charge, the power of the cavalry is much stronger than that of the infantry."

Zhao Yun didn't quite agree with Lu Bu's statement.

The cavalry he knew had always taken on the task of detour or exploration, and there was no way to charge the enemy head-on.

Seeing the astonishment on Zhao Yun's face, Lu Bu smiled slightly: "In the past, the cavalry were all light cavalry, so of course they were powerless to attack the enemy on the battlefield. Wait until tomorrow, and I will have someone design the armor for horses. , as well as the necessary equipment for the heavy cavalry. With those, the cavalry under Zilong's future command will sweep the world and make the world pay attention."

I have never heard of the difference between light cavalry and heavy cavalry in cavalry. Zhao Yun really can't imagine what it would be like to wear armor on a war horse.

He asked Lv Bu in astonishment, "Marquis Chu thinks that war horses can wear armor?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Bu said: "A person can wear armor, and so can a war horse. Not only that, but today's cavalry is not very stable on horseback. We only need to solve the problem that the soldiers ride horses safely. It is not too difficult to develop a heavy cavalry capable of conquering the world."

The picture drawn by Lu Bu circled in Zhao Yun's mind.

As he imagined leading a heavy cavalry with horses and armor galloping on the battlefield, Zhao Yun only felt blood surge from his body, and he wished he could train such a soldier immediately.

"Practicing heavy cavalry cannot be done overnight." Seeing Zhao Yun's anticipation, Lu Bu said to him, "I will handle the armor and horses. As for the cavalry, I will leave it to Zilong. I don't want to practice too early. A year from now, Zilong will show me a decent heavy cavalry."

"As long as Marquis Chu can trust me, I will be able to train a cavalry just as Marquis Chu described in a year." Zhao Yun bowed and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Chu."

"Only the two of us know about this matter, Zilong don't go out and talk nonsense." Lu Bu whispered to Zhao Yun: "If it gets to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao's ears, they will practice it first, and we will be in trouble .”

"Don't worry, Marquis Chu, I understand." Zhao Yun responded immediately.

"Before Lu Zijing came back, I asked Zilong to spend more time on the air force officers and soldiers." Lu Bu said, "The paratroopers were handed over to General Taishi. I also considered that he is good at using short halberds, while Zilong is good at long spears. Long weapons should be used on horseback, and horizontal spears will show their true qualities immediately. If Zilong leads the paratroopers, although the descent from the sky is also hearty, it is difficult to use long spears after landing. From my considerations, Zilong should be able to clear."

"I understand Chuhou's painstaking efforts." Zhao Yun replied: "What Chuhou said is indeed reasonable, and I also feel that it is smoother to use a long spear on horseback."

"Since Zilong understands, I won't say any more." Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to Zhao Yun, "Bo Fu went back to the air force barracks and said that you are training soldiers. I wonder how it will go?"

"The drills that should be done have already been done." Zhao Yun replied: "Before Lu Zijing takes over, I will sort out the methods of training the air force, and then hand them all over to him."

"You figured out how to practice the air force." Lu Bu said, "Being able to tell others about this shows that Zilong has a broad mind."

"To serve as the Marquis of Chu, we should do our best." Zhao Yun replied, "The Marquis of Chu trusted me. He first entrusted the air force to me, and now he entrusts the heavy cavalry to me. If I don't pay attention, I will not let Chu Hou's kindness to know you."

"Knowledge is a matter of course, and the word 'en' is used more heavily." Lu Bu replied with a smile: "Zilong and I are like brothers, but we just support each other. In the future, don't mention such things again."

"I have written down the teachings of Marquis Chu." Zhao Yun bowed and said to Lu Bu, "I dare not delay Marquis Chu for too long, I will take my leave first."

"I'll send Zilong." He personally sent Zhao Yun to the door of the study, and Lu Bu told Sun Ce who was waiting outside: "Bo Fu will send Zilong back for me."

Sun Ce agreed, and said to Zhao Yun, "General Zhao, please!"

Zhao Yun resigned again, and then left with Sun Ce.

After watching Zhao Yun and Sun Ce go away, Lu Bu returned to the study.

The war against Cao Cao has entered the preparation stage, Lu Bu is very clear that when he is making these preparations, Cao Cao is also not idle.

In terms of overall strength, although Lu Bu is capable of competing with Cao Cao today, he is still relatively weaker.

Cao Cao has countless advisors and generals, and the only ones he can use, apart from the few who joined him earlier, are the ones from Jiangdong...

Since Liu Bei voted for Xudu, Lu Bu was discredited by him a lot in front of Cao Cao.

Although that "uncle emperor" also offended Cao Cao now, and even betrayed Yuan Shao and fled to Jingzhou, the relationship between Cao Cao and Lu Bu was completely settled.

Lu Bu and Cao Cao knew very well that sooner or later there would be a battle between them.

If neither party is destroyed, neither he nor Cao Cao can sleep well.

The breath of war is getting stronger and stronger, and the day of crusade against Cao Cao is getting closer.

The time that can be used to prepare for Lu Bu is getting less and less. Even if he makes full use of this time, many things cannot be fully prepared.

For example, a large number of paratroopers and heavy cavalry.

Once these two arms are established, Lu Bu will not worry at all even if most of Cao Cao's soldiers are fierce warriors.

Completely brand-new arms, put on the battlefield, regardless of the long-term, just the few battles they just took part in, will definitely catch Cao Jun by surprise...

It's a pity that it was too late for Lu Bu to plan to build a new army. When he thought about this, the war was quietly approaching.

Back in the study, he closed the scroll of bamboo slips he had read before, and Lu Bu came to the window.

Looking out the window, a rare seriousness appeared on his face.

Competing with Cao Cao for the hegemony of the Central Plains, if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.

But Lu Bu had no way to retreat, and the only choice before him was to keep going forward!
