Liu he takes his seat again and looks at Cui Jun.

"Military division, how many usable horses have our army captured this time?"

Cui Jun firmly said: "back to my Lord, during the war, our army captured 23476 Xianbei horses, of which there were no injuries and diseases. A total of 12434 horses met the requirements of our cavalry."

"Well, not bad. In this way, in accordance with the principle of one man with two horses in our army, we can increase the number of cavalry by more than 6000, plus the 10000 horses that the old general and others have won for us in the court hall this time, which is another 5000. "

Guan Yu shook his head.

"Elder brother, if we fight as usual, one man and two horses are indispensable. But after several wars, I find that Xianbei cavalry is basically one man with three horses. If we want to compete with them on the vast grassland, we must have such a configuration. In this way, the number of cavalry can only grow to more than 10000. "

Zhang Yong also agreed: "the second elder brother is right. If the number of equipped horses is not enough, then our army will be very disadvantageous if it encounters a long-distance chase battle. "

Liu he did not think of this before. Now Guan Yu and Zhang Yong mentioned it, and he soon understood it.

"A cavalry with more than 10000 people is still far from enough."

At this time, Zhang Ding and Su Shuang, who were embarrassed to be silent for a long time, seemed to have finally waited for their topic to be interrupted and could not wait to stand up.

"Ha ha, have you forgotten me, Lord Liu?"

When Liu he saw them, he was pleased, but soon he was silent again.

"Well, I've implicated two of them, and I can't do the war horse business. Although the two uncles can make a comeback, they can't hydrolyze their thirst far away."

Su Shuang said with a smile, "Mr. Liu has been too worried. The Lord secretly sent someone to protect us, so we got the news in advance and prepared early, so the loss of property was not much. What's more, we have brought with us a batch of more than 8000 horses which we have just purchased from the north of Youzhou. Although the matter is urgent and some of them have been sold temporarily for the convenience of travelling, nearly 4000 horses have been brought to Yanmen. "

Cheng Liang called out, "Oh, father-in-law, how do you shout? I thought there were so many. It turned out that there were only four thousand horses. What could that do?"

Su Shuang said angrily, "you guy, you always let you read more books, you always don't listen, otherwise you won't say such words."

He looked back at Liu He and said, "do you remember the Moda that brother Zhang and I gave to you at the beginning?"

Liu he said, "naturally. When I was in langdiao County, this young man stayed in our army with the red smoke and the kylin roar. He has been caring for the horses for years, and he is also loyal. "

Su Shuang said with a smile: "before, there were not many horses in the army, so this man's ability could not be fully exerted. But now he has tens of thousands of horses, his ability is different. This man is not only proficient in horse hunting, but also has some experience in raising horses. He will take good care of these horses and soon a large number of new foals will be born. "

Liu He's eyes brightened.

"Yes, I didn't think of it! Marco was born, not only by buying horses. In order to officially appoint Mo DA as Ma Cheng in our army, if you get something, you will get a reward. "

"Don't worry, my Lord. I have something to say."

"Uncle, please."

Su Shuang said with a smile: "brother Shiping and I seem to have met with great difficulties, but in fact, we are still young. Most of the family property has been preserved, and the channels for purchasing war horses have not been lost. As long as there are channels, how can we worry about the supply of war horses? "

Cheng Liang cheerfully called out: "ha ha, father-in-law, or you old man has a way, son-in-law, tonight I let my wife do a few dishes to reward you."

"You guy, don't I want to do this, and you won't let her cook for me?"

"Ha ha ha..."

Ye Xiang frowned again.

"However, if our army is cut off from the imperial court's food and salary, I'm afraid it will be much more tight in terms of money and food than before. It is also a big problem to purchase war horses."

Zhang Ding said with a look of Indifference: "what's the difficulty? Brother Wen Chong and I dare not say that we are rich enough to rival our country, but if we give up all our property and purchase war horses from some small tribes in Wuhuan and Xianbei, we can exchange them for 70000! "

"Dear! Father in law, you and Uncle Zhang are really rich

Cheng Liang couldn't help shouting.

Guan Yu also said happily, "if you can do this, your father-in-law and uncle Su's family, our army's cavalry should have a scale of nearly 40000 people. Such a cavalry would be enough to sweep Mobei!"

Liu he said: "no, the two uncles have a prosperous family. If so many people want to live, how can they change all their property into war horses and use them in our army? Although my uncle is selfless, I can't be so shameless. "

"Oh, Lord Liu, you and I are all a family. Why do you have to..."Liu he interrupted Zhang Ding with a wave.

"Well, let Liu think about it for a long time."

Zhang Ding and Su Shuang looked at each other and knew that they could not persuade Liu He.

"Well, in addition to 4000 horses, we also provided 20000 horses. This is to repay Lord Liu's great kindness in saving our whole family. On the other hand, it's also a little bit of sincerity of the two of us to be loyal to our country. Don't refuse."

Liu he continued to withdraw.

"So Well, my nephew, thank you two uncles. When the business here is over, my nephew will recommend Dexing and Yuansheng as the county governors of two of the six counties under my jurisdiction. "

Zhang Su and Liu he were so surprised that they quickly thank Liu He.

Although it was not out of selfishness that they took the initiative to donate the family property of war horses, Liu he was able to make such a statement, which greatly moved and pleased them.

Looking at this scene, Zhen Yi seems to have some touch in his heart.

"Elder brother, there are 156000 cavalry in this scale. With the ability of the second brother to unify the army, we can cope with it for a while. There is another problem, which is more urgent than the war horse. "

Liu He looked at Zhang Yong and asked, "what does the fourth brother mean?"

Zhang Yong said: "although the imperial court has always given us little food and pay, once the income is cut off, it still gives us a headache. Now we support nearly 100000 troops, but we are afraid that it will continue to increase in the future. Relying solely on the grain production of these counties, we are afraid that we are in short supply. It is not a year and a half to go north to recover our native land and open up wasteland again until we have a harvest. "

"Yes Guan Yu said, "what Mingwei said is a great event. The training intensity of our army is high, and the soldiers consume 34% more food than the ordinary army. If the food is not enough, how can we attack the city

"This is a big problem..." Liu he was also silent.

"The eunuchs of these aristocratic families in the imperial court are really a great national disaster. Sooner or later, Liu He will enter the capital city. Even if I don't do the rebellious act of abolishing the emperor and supporting myself, I can't be held back by these guys!"

Liu He secretly vowed in his heart.

At the time when everyone is sad, Zhen Yi is a little elated.

"Don't worry, generals. I have a way to deal with it."

Everyone looked at the past one after another. Although this Zhen Yi was introduced by Zhang Ding and Su Shuang, we already knew that his identity was extraordinary. However, when discussing major issues, people did not pay attention to him. At this time, he suddenly said that he could solve the food and forage problem of the Anmin army, and everyone was skeptical.

But Su Shuang laughed.

"Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget my good brother Boan. When it comes to the trade of war horse pig iron, brother Shiping and I are second to none. But if we want to talk about grain and grass, fur, lacquerware, ceramics and other businesses, the Zhen family is the one who carries the tripod. Brother Zhen can help with great justice, and it is no wonder that the people's army is in trouble. "

"Oh?" Liu He and other people's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhen Yi said with a smile: "brother Wen Chong is flattered. My Zhen family is just doing some business to support the family by taking advantage of the convenience brought by our ancestors. Today, I can see that Mr. Liu is so considerate that Zhen has great admiration for him. He should also help him in public and private affairs. "

Liu he was very pleased: "Sir, you are so generous that you are grateful for your help."

Zhang Ding asked, "I don't know how bo'an is going to help Mr. Liu?"
