Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 71 Seeing Zuo Ci Again (Revised)

Zhang De wanted to get [-] heavy cavalry, but heavy cavalry was too expensive. Arming one heavy cavalry cost enough to equip several light cavalry. In the end, Zhang De decided to form [-] heavy cavalry, and the rest would be Medium cavalry.

The so-called medium cavalry is a kind of cavalry envisioned by Zhang De.Light cavalry usually wear leather armor and come and go like the wind. Zhang De is going to put semi-iron armor on the middle cavalry, sacrificing some mobility, but making the cavalry more lethal to infantry. Except for Youzhou and Bingzhou in the Kanto, other Most of the places used are infantry.

As for the weapons used by the cavalry, Zhang De decided to equip the middle cavalry with a mace that did not exist in this era.The mace was equipped with the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin in later generations, and the Mongolian cavalry that ran rampant in the world was also equipped with the mace!It has to be said that the lethality of the mace in the charge is better than that of the spear and saber, especially for Zhang De's men who are not very good at riding, charging directly with the mace is better than learning Saber and pistol are much better.

Speaking of heavy cavalry, Zhang De thought of the Iron Buddha in the Song Dynasty, so Zhang De found Wu Anguo, put live buttons on each vest, and connected every five horses together during battle. Insufficient, but the impact and shock are definitely greatly enhanced.

In this way, Zhang De's two cavalry units, the 300-man "Iron Buddha Tu" and the 500-man "Wuqi Battalion" were finally established.At the same time, Beihai's second large-scale recruitment also started.

In two months, Zhang De recruited another five thousand strong recruits. Zhang De did not recruit recruits excessively, after all, he did not have so much food to support soldiers.

Wang Xiu is indeed very capable in internal affairs. Since he took office, he has built water conservancy and irrigation.In order to solve the problem of more and more refugees flocking to Beihai, Wang Xiu suggested to Zhang De to implement military settlements to replace the original civilian settlements.And Wang Xiu bought a large number of breeding cattle from the north for breeding.I believe that within a few years, there will be a lot of cattle in Beihai.However, it cost Zhang De a lot of money for Wang Xiu to do this, so Wang Xiu and Wu Anguo became the last people Zhang De wanted to see now, anyway, these two people must have come to ask for money when they saw him.

……

At the end of June in the third year of Zhongping.Heavy rain fell in Qingzhou, and it continued until mid-July.Many river dams in Qingzhou were washed away, and the flood flooded countless fertile fields.

And Zhang De also took people to strengthen the dam every day, but the heavy rain kept on, and the dam was in danger all the time.If the embankment breaks, many places in Beihai may have no harvest this year.

Faced with natural disasters, the common people sacrificed to the river god and prayed to God, but the heavy rain continued.Zhang De knew that it would be useless to ask the God of the river, so he just sent more people to reinforce the embankment at twelve o'clock.

On this day, when Zhang De returned to Beihai City from Heba, he saw a large group of common people gathered around the city gate.Zhang De felt strange, and hurriedly ordered someone to inquire. After a while, his subordinates came back and reported that a Taoist priest was doing a ritual on the edge of the city to stop the rain!

When Zhang De heard this, he thought that there are still people who dare to pretend to be gods and ghosts on their own territory, which is really bold, so he rode forward, wanting to see what kind of Taoist priest is so bold.

Zhang De went to the front and saw that there was indeed a Taoist priest with his back facing him, holding a wooden sword in his hand, muttering something.Suddenly, the Taoist turned around, and Zhang De looked at the Taoist's face, he didn't want to fall.

At this time, I saw Zuo Ci saying: "Relax, folks, the heavy rain will stop before Haishi tonight!" When all the people heard Zuo Ci's words, they all bowed down to thank Zuo Ci.

At this time, everyone bowed down, but Zhang De was standing, making Zhang De stand out from the crowd.Seeing Zhang De standing there, an old man next to him hurriedly tugged at the corner of Zhang De's clothes, and said, "Quickly kneel down and thank Immortal Zuo!"

At this time, Zhang De was covered in mud because he had been by the river all day, and he looked like a farmer who had just returned from the field.So the old man next to him didn't recognize that this was the prefect.

The old man didn't recognize Zhang Delai, but Zuo Cike did.Seeing Zuo Ci make a bow to Zhang De, he said, "Master Zhang, we meet again!"

Zhang De's heart was very complicated at this time.Zuo Ci, a mythical character in the novel, but now he pretends to be a magic trick to cheat money here, really surprised Zhang De.I only heard Zuo Ci say: "Master Zhang, when we meet up, don't you invite the poor Taoist to sit with you?"

Zhang De smiled wryly, and said: "Since the Taoist priest doesn't dislike it, please come and sit in my eunuch's mansion!" Zuo Ci was not polite, and followed Zhang De to the eunuch's mansion.

After entering the prefect's mansion, after the guests and hosts were seated, Zhang De asked, "Master Zuo, why did you come to Beihai?"

Zuo Ci said with an inscrutable expression: "Pindao heard that Qingzhou has been raining continuously for days, and the rivers are often flooded, so Pindao came to save the people from the fire?"

Zhang De sneered and said, "Is the Taoist priest finished?"

Zuo Ci smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's not a disgrace, the heavy rain will stop before Haishi tonight!"

Zhang Dexin said, seeing that you are full of confidence, I will leave you in my prefect's mansion first, and wait until the rain keeps stopping to see how you end up!Thinking of this, Zhang De said to Zuo Ci: "It's really hard work, why not live in my mansion and let me do my best as a landlord!"

"Then the poor are more respectful than obedient!"

That night, Zhang De fell asleep early because of his fatigue.But not long after sleeping, he heard noise coming from outside. Zhang De got up and called his servants to ask what was the noise outside.

Zhang De was taken aback immediately when he heard this, and hurriedly went out to check, and saw that the rain really stopped!

"Damn it!" Zhang De muttered.

Zhang De went to look for Zuo Ci overnight, came to Zuo Ci's house, saw that Zuo Ci was still up, and Zuo Ci was not surprised to see Zhang De coming over, and said: "Master Zhang, why is it that you are looking for the poor Taoist?"

"Zuo Daozhang, how did you know that the heavy rain will stop tonight?" Zhang De asked immediately.

"Don't you think that the prefect thinks it's a trick to stop the heavy rain?" Zuo Ci asked cheerfully.

Zhang De thought to himself, how to do it?Do not make jokes!People in later generations know that the rain is a natural phenomenon. It has been raining for so many days, and it is probably caused by a typhoon. It has nothing to do with how you do it.Then he replied: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods!"

"Hehe, that's right, I don't believe in ghosts either!" Zuo Ci replied, "The poor man watched the sky yesterday and already knew that the heavy rain will stop today. As for coming here to pretend to be ghosts, it's just a lie!"

Zhang De didn't expect Zuo Ci to admit it so readily.I can't believe it. Zhang De used to think that the celestial phenomena are all illusory things. I didn't expect that someone really understood these things. But thinking about it, Zhuge Liang can just "borrow the east wind". It seems that Zuo Ci is the leader of this era. meteorologist.

Regarding cavalry, gluttons are noobs!As for saddles and stirrups, I don’t know if there are any gluttons in the Three Kingdoms, so ignore it for now, let’s assume there are!I have the cheek to ask for a few more recommendations!
