Murong Nan laughed: "Liu Yu, now do you know the importance of riding and auxiliary horses? You will not always wear armor when marching, and neither do we, let alone horses!"
Liu Yu suddenly understood. He nodded and said thoughtfully: "So that's it. No wonder you barbarians have to ride several horses each. It turns out that you use another horse to carry the weapons and baggage."
Having said this, he shook his head again: "There is still something wrong. The weapons and baggage can be placed on the auxiliary horse, but what about the food and grass? Also, your complete set of equipment alone weighs at least two hundred kilograms.
I'm afraid a horse won't be able to carry it."
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "The armor of humans and horses, plus these weapons, does add up to about two hundred kilograms, but our northern war horses are not the short pack horses of your southern ones. Look at you and me now
The horse he rides is obviously much taller and stronger than the horses used to pull carts in your army. The weight of more than two hundred kilograms may be very heavy for your southern horses, but our tall northern war horses are all from
Selected from millions of horses, it won't be a problem to carry a hundred kilograms, not to mention two hundred kilograms."
"Normally, we ride the main horse and let the auxiliary horse carry the baggage and food. When it comes to war, we have to wear all the horses to ensure that all the main horse's horsepower can be used in the battle formation. Liu Yu, you understand.
Is that true? This is the same as your Jin army, which has combat troops, heavy baggage troops, and auxiliary troops."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I used to think that the Hu people were not as smart as the Han people, just relying on their bravery and bravery. It seems that I was wrong. In terms of marching formations and various tactics, you are no worse than us."
Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, my Murong family has been in Liaodong for hundreds of years and has always accepted the title of the Han Dynasty. Han scholars often come to Liaodong for refuge, so the various military regulations of the Han army,
We all know the art of war very well. But in the eyes of you Han people, we are just barbarians and you don't care at all. How can you bother to know how we fight? Your Sun Tzu's Art of War says that if you know the enemy, you will know the enemy.
The principle of being able to fight a hundred battles without danger does not distinguish between Han people and barbarians."
Liu Yu felt sad for a while. Although Murong Nan's words didn't sound good, they were indeed true. The Han people had rested on the achievements and glory of their ancestors for too long. They were unwilling to take the powerful barbarians around them seriously, even militarily.
This is the fundamental reason why the north has fallen and cannot be recovered after repeated Northern Expeditions. If the Yongjia Rebellion is due to the civil war between the Eight Kings, which led to the barbarians taking advantage of the situation, but now, I am afraid that on the battlefield, the barbarians in the north will still be the enemy.
The opponent on an iron horse.
Murong Nan looked at Liu Yu's silence and guessed a little bit of his thoughts. He then smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Although the northern cavalry is invincible on the plains, but when it comes to you
This land south of the Yangtze River is crisscrossed by water networks and the food and climate are very different. It is the world dominated by you southerners. Our northern cavalry has also gone south many times, and we can't take advantage. So God is fair, north and south.
The separation is the biggest reason why we maintain the current boundary between the two sides. Even if you can't invade the Central Plains, there is still no problem in protecting the southern half."
Liu Yu felt a burst of pride in his heart and said loudly: "Brother Murong, I disagree with this. Now it is not that we Han people want to take away your Hu people's sheep-grazing land outside the Great Wall, but our Han people's homeland and country for thousands of years."
.If someone took away the Xianbei Mountain from you Xianbei people, would you turn a blind eye like this?"
The smile on Murong Nan's face gradually dissipated, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. He sighed longly: "Yes, although your Jin country has experienced the Yongjia Rebellion, at least half of it is still there, and
We Dayan, but even the place where our ancestors were worshiped fell into the hands of the enemy, and the Dragon City where we started has become the territory of a foreign enemy. How can we, the descendants, face our ancestors?"
Liu Yu saw that Murong Nan's expression became sad, and he was a little embarrassed. After all, he was a survivor of the subjugated country, so it was not good to remind him of his sad past. He laughed and said: "Okay, we are all the same."
The fallen people in the world should work together now to restore our rivers and mountains. Didn’t we agree last time that we should join hands to destroy the Qin State? From now on, you can take your former residence and we can restore our rivers and mountains and we will always be allies. Isn’t that right?
Aren’t you happy?!”
Murong Nan looked straight at Liu Yu, his eyes sparkling. After a long while, he shook his head: "That is a matter decided by the big shots above. We people can only be like duckweeds in the wind, being manipulated by others and doing what we are told."
.Liu Yu, you hate the Hu people so much. I am also a Hu person. If one day in the future, there is a conflict between Da Jin and Da Yan, will you kill me?"
Liu Yu shook his head instinctively: "No, we are friends, I will not kill you."
Murong Nan turned his head and said quietly: "Never say no, you can't control your own destiny. If Marshal Xie orders you to kill me, will you carry it out?"
Liu Yu felt confused for a while. He had thought about this problem before, but he was always unwilling to think about it deeply. On the one hand, he didn't like Murong Nan very much, but he also had an indescribable feeling about this person.
He was at a distance from me, sometimes close and sometimes far away. He seemed to be taunting, bickering, and arguing with himself from time to time, but he seemed to be always defending himself in his heart. This feeling was something that brothers like Liu Jingxuan had never given him.
, at some point, he realized that he couldn't live without this Xianbei man.
But on the other hand, he also reminded himself countless times that after all, this is a Hu tribe alien. Now he and he are just completing the transaction above. Maybe one day they will really turn against each other and fight for their lives.
, life and death may not be impossible.
Therefore, Liu Yu has been deliberately keeping a certain distance from Murong Nan, just so that one day in the future, he will not be able to do it out of favor. After all, Liu Yu knows that although he is ruthless towards his enemies, he is willing to be kind.
But if he really wanted to attack someone he had friendship with, he still couldn't do it. Just like Liu Yi, if he really killed Liu Jingxuan, would he really seek revenge from him? I'm afraid he himself couldn't answer this question.
.
Murong Nan had been looking at Liu Yu, and he suddenly laughed: "Okay, it's just a joke, you still take it seriously. You don't need to answer this question, because even if you answer it, you may not do this in the future.
.At least for now, you are Liu Yu and I am Murong Nan. We are friends who fight against the Qin Dynasty together. This is enough. As for the future, let’s talk about it later. Come on, let’s continue to practice riding!”
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head, and forced a smile: "Okay, continue practicing."
