"The third force: cavalry."

"The five hundred cavalry have not taken action against us from beginning to end, but their containment and disruption of our army cannot be ignored. Especially in the early and middle stages of the war, the presence of the cavalry has brought us great threats and troubles, although it has not really Take action and the containment effect is very significant."

"Without the cavalry wandering around, our army could have given greater support to several warring annexed territories, and the troop mobilization could have been faster. Fortunately, the lord judged that they came from a certain territory in time, did not dare to go into battle naked, and quickly responded Adjustments were made to bring more recruits, reinforcements and mercenaries into the battle, making the cavalry patrol useless and accomplishing nothing."

"If this were not the case, we would probably lose more soldiers and even one or two annexed territories."

"The most unexpected thing is that my lord has put almost all his strength outside. Zhulu City is equivalent to an empty city, which makes the opponent's judgment seriously deviate, and in the end we eat some of the cavalry."

"I was just wrong."

Yu Buzhi smiled bitterly and explained: "The troops are stretched thin, and the five hundred cavalry look down on people. It's okay to do the same trick once or twice, but if you do it too many times, you will inevitably join the gang. After being harassed by the cavalry for so long, I will We wanted to collect some interest back. Unfortunately, the other party was very vigilant and planned to escape before Luo Hu and others could set up the ambush. Our income was limited and we didn't even catch a single person alive."

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Although we didn't capture any prisoners, it's not bad to get dozens of war horses."

"Five hundred cavalrymen did not dare to fight back until they died, and there was also a white light when a man on the top of the hill was hit by an arrow and died. It is an indisputable fact that the cavalrymen came from a certain territory."

"Although there is no live witness, these clues are enough for us to deduce their approximate attribution."

"Even in the production area, the value of 500 high-quality war horses is close to two million, and the price outside the production area is even higher. The war horse trade is full of obstacles, and money may not be able to buy it. So far, there is only one territory that can produce 500 cavalry. After much thinking, I believe that the lord has already known this in his mind..."

A sharp light flashed in Yu Buzhi's eyes, and he said slowly: "Wooden horn collar."

Just as Xu Shu said, Yu Buzhi had already guessed who it was.

War horses are expensive and difficult to obtain.

At this stage, there are very few territories with a hundred cavalry. You can count them on two hands. These territories are all concentrated in Liang, Bing, and Youzhou, which have the advantage of producing areas. There are only three territories with two hundred cavalry, and they can produce five Baiqi's territory is only Wood Horn Territory, and there is no second one.

Mujiao Territory, one of the six city-level territories, ranked second in the Yellow Turban Battle Ranking.

The Wood Horn Territory is an emerging territory, and its outstanding performance in battles relies on its cavalry.

When Mujiao collar was still a first-level township, it surprisingly pulled out a team of 200 cavalry. They came and went on the battlefield like the wind, reaping great achievements. Mujiao collar cavalry was inevitably damaged in battle. As the scale of the territory increased, the Mujiao army The size of the cavalry continues to expand, but Lord Mistletoe is always able to quickly replenish the troops' combat strength. It is obvious that he has a stable source of high-quality war horses.

The recognized rich lord in the game is Su Li, but Mistletoe is actually not bad either.

Even if there is a stable source of war horses, without sufficient funds, the formation of a cavalry force can only be empty talk. However, the fertile territory and heroic style are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the impression that Mujiao Ling relies on cavalry to travel all over the world is deeply rooted in people's hearts. When the outside world mentions Mujiao Ling, they often First of all, I thought about the cavalry of the Woodhorn Territory. In addition, Mistletoe was a low-key person, which made people ignore the fact that the cavalry was a costly unit.

Xu Shu asked: "My lord has a grudge against Mistletoe?"

"We are strangers and have nothing to do with each other, so where is the resentment?"

Xu Shu was silent, just like Huang Yi, the leader of Zhu Ti's rebels, another inexplicable enemy appeared.

Yu Buzhi sneered: "With no prisoners and no participation in the war, we have no reason to directly deal with the Mujiao Leader. The current declaration of war system is limited to Tongzhou County, and the Mujiao Leader is in Liangzhou. We can't even declare war on them... Well, Qi

Xiesheng is very thoughtful and knows that even if things fail, I won't be able to do anything to him in a short period of time."

Xu Shu also said: "Sending warriors to kill our captured soldiers and silence them is to prevent future troubles."

Yu Buzhi frowned slightly and tapped his fingers slowly on the table. There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "The abacus was good, but he did one thing wrong. He shouldn't have killed Mo."

Mr. Xu Piaomiao came to me, and I truthfully told him my inference on the origin of the cavalry. If we are temporarily inconvenient to do, someone will do it. Mr. Mo regards death as home, and Mr. Mujiao can enjoy the revenge of the Mo family..."

Xu Shu was a knight-errant and had a certain understanding of the Mohist family.

Of the three Mohist sects, only the Xiake sect is always strong.

Although the Moh family has been in decline for hundreds of years, anyone who underestimates the Moh family will definitely pay a heavy price. The Mohists live in the Zhulu Territory as guests. Although they obey the orders of the territory, they have no affiliation. The Mohists' revenge against the Mujiao Territory has nothing to do with the Zhulu Territory.

.

The Mujiao leader is quite powerful, and Yu Buzhi does not expect the Mo family to subvert the other party, but it is not difficult to cause trouble.

In the second system update, geographical restrictions on war applications will be completely relaxed, and there will be a time to settle the general ledger.

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "The five hundred cavalry have once again confirmed our previous guess."

"In order to wait for Zhu Ti's rebels, the Wuling bandits lurked for seven days. Their subordinates did not think that the cavalry arrived temporarily. The cavalry is no better than thieves. They can just find a nook to hide. It is difficult to hide hundreds of horses, and it is more difficult to supply than thieves.

There must be someone in Gaoba County to help you!"

"Two families took action, three showed up directly, and at least one was hiding in the dark to provide support."

Finally, Xu Shu concluded: "There are quite a few people who want to harm Zhulu Ling."

Yu Buzhi couldn't help but shake his head at this.

He was inexplicably thrown into a series of troubles, and there was nothing he could do about it.

In addition to the three directly appearing forces and the inferred fourth supporting force, there are more unanswered questions.

Is the state government involved?

The state capital issued a recruitment order to Zhulu Leader before the war. It is difficult to judge whether he participated. It seems more like a coincidence, but it cannot be ruled out that Que Jian knew about it and took advantage of the situation to weaken Zhulu Leader's troops. If that were the case, his opponent could actually exert influence on the governor.

The energy is obviously very large, which is definitely not a good thing for Zhulu Leader. Since Quejian has been killed by Ma Xiang's rebels, it is difficult to confirm this.

Who is the mastermind behind this war?

Of the four hostile forces, the Wuling Kou is confirmed to be just a "sword", and the other three seem to be possible.

How do these forces come together?

The three forces that have been exposed are the rebels, the bandits, and the player territory. The areas they are located in are also different. The rebels are from southern Yizhou, the bandits are from Jingzhou, and the Mujiao Territory is the territory of Liangzhou. Regardless of their respective identities or the regions they belong to

, have nothing to do with each other, let alone integrating them to carry out military operations at the same time, it seems not easy to even get together to drink and chat.

Xu Shu's thorough analysis made Yu Buzhi realize what serious challenges the territory was facing.
