Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 830: What to do if there is a shortage of war horses?

The King of Chu has already taken control of the two counties, and he still doesn't know whether he will go north to compete with King Dai for Hanzhong County, or whether he will go up from Xijiang County to plot Huainan County.

The prince summoned his staff and discussed it. It was concluded that there was nothing to worry about on behalf of the king for the time being. The king of Chu was on his side and was a serious concern. As for King An and the court in the north, there was no need to worry about it at the moment until they were finished fighting.

Although Huainan County Qin Guogong and Xiao Yu are now gradually advancing, the biggest problem they face now is the lack of war horses.

Prince Qi's Mansion only organized a cavalry force of 5,000 people.

The King of Qi has been training private soldiers on the island for several years, but there are not many war horses. War horses are strategic materials and are strictly controlled by the court. If a large number of horses are purchased, Zhu Yiwei's spies will definitely discover them.

These five thousand war horses were divided many times and transported back to Donghai County one after another.

In particular, the British Empire did not produce good horses locally, so they imported excellent stallions from the Tartars and the Western Regions for breeding.

When Xiao Yu went to Xiqin County and met Gu Fei, he was going to buy a horse and pass by there.

Although the King of Qi also secretly built a horse farm, raising horses requires pasture. The climate and geographical conditions in the south of the Yangtze River are not suitable for breeding and raising good horses.

Now that we have conquered two counties, even though we have captured a lot of the imperial war horses, it is not enough. It is impossible to conquer the world with just these few war horses.

You must know that the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of war horses.

Most of King An's 100,000 troops were cavalry.

In large-scale battles, infantry versus cavalry is basically a dead end.

Everyone discussed the problem of lack of war horses, but there was no way to solve it for the time being.

The five major horse racing farms of the imperial court are all in the northwest, and now you have to pass through King Dai's territory to get there.

If you buy horses from the Tatars, you will have to invade King An's territory.

As for the Yunnan horses in southern Xinjiang, they are short in stature and have no advantage in fighting, so they cannot be used as war horses at all.

After everyone discussed it, they could only push to the northwest from Huainan County as soon as possible and try to capture the imperial court's horse farm in Longyou, so that there would be a continuous supply of war horses.

When everyone had dispersed, Prime Minister Su's eyes flashed and he called out to the prince.

Prime Minister Su sent everyone around him away, and then said in a low voice: "The prince is short of war horses. Why don't you talk to the princess about this matter? Maybe she can find a way to solve it."

Prime Minister Su still doesn't know how Gu Fei got him and Su Li from Wangbei City to Ping'an City, but he knows in his heart that the Crown Princess has abilities beyond ordinary people.

King Qi's mind was full of doubts, "The Crown Princess is just a little girl. What can she do about such a big problem as the lack of horses?"

"Even if she has a good master, it's not difficult to go to the northwest, but how will she get the horses back?"

The horses were bought and passed through King Dai's territory. It would be strange if he didn't take them.

No matter how high the martial arts of Palace Master Yan is, one person cannot defeat an army.

Prime Minister Su smiled slightly, "Actually, I'm not sure whether the Crown Princess can do it."

"However, the prince can mention it to the prince concubine. If she has a way, she will agree."

Prince Qi narrowed his eyes. Prime Minister Su was not a person who spoke freely. Since he said that, he must have a reason.

I really can't wait any longer to buy a war horse.

After buying a war horse, both the soldier and the horse need to be trained. You can't just ride a horse and go to the battlefield.

Not to mention that the cavalry also needs to train their formations, which all takes time.

He stood up quickly and said, "I'll go ask."

With that said, he strode towards the backyard.

Prime Minister Su touched his beard and smiled.

He felt that if the prince went there, he would definitely succeed.
