The two strongest generals under Li Xiang are of course Xing Tian and Li Cunxiao, but these two are not with Li Xiang now.
Li Cunxiao has now entered the middle of Shu and is accompanying Li Jing to conquer Shu.
Xing Tian was sent to Nanyang, where the pressure was even greater. Chi You, Lu Ya, and Lu Er were all very troublesome masters. Li Xiang must provide some assistance to Yue Fei.
And without Li Cunxiao and Xing Tian, Kong Xuan is now the strongest general on Li Xiang's side.
Looking in the direction pointed by Kong Xuan, I saw the coalition camp opened wide, and then the banners of Yuan, Qin, Liu, and Dou came out one after another. Then countless soldiers and horses swarmed out and rushed towards Li Xiang in a semicircle.
.
"Finally out!"
This battle is destined to be a decisive battle for Li Xiang. Against the princes of the world, Li Xiang even has a sense of excitement in his bones.
After winning this battle, as long as he doesn't make huge strategic mistakes in the future, the world is destined to fall into his hands.
In front of the two armies, both sides were observing each other without leaving any trace.
A gleam flashed in the eyes of Han Xin on the side, and he said in a deep voice: "Alliance leader, these thousand cavalry are not only one person and three horses, but also tall Xiliang horses. Once our army launches an attack, Li Zifeng will definitely turn around and run away.
Even if our cavalry can catch up, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to keep Li Zifeng."
Li Zifeng only brought a thousand men and horses here. I believe that more than one person has thought about whether they can take this opportunity to kill Li Zifeng in one fell swoop! As long as Li Zifeng can be killed, the world's princes will basically win this battle.
Even if Li Zifeng has any surviving children, the eldest one is only a teenager and will take several years to reach adulthood.
Moreover, although Li Zifeng has a son, his son does not have the prestige of Li Zifeng. If Li Zifeng dies, his son will never be able to suppress these arrogant soldiers of the Jin army. The Jin army will perish sooner or later.
thing.
Han Xin was no exception. He also had the idea of taking advantage of this opportunity to kill Li Xiang. Of course, he was one of the few sober people present, and he also knew that this opportunity was actually not great.
Although Li Xiang is also a horse-riding monarch, he is obviously different from Xiang Yu. Unless necessary, Li Xiang will not easily go into battle and charge. In most cases, he will sit on the ground.
Within the Chinese army camp.
Unless a person like this has a large enough benefit, it is impossible to put himself in danger. If this happens, it can only mean that the benefits he receives will far outweigh the risks he takes.
Therefore, Han Xin had enough reasons to guess that although Li Xiang came with only a thousand troops, he was still confident enough to ensure his own safety.
Now that I see it, it is indeed the case.
Horses during the Three Kingdoms period are generally divided into three types. One is the Wuhuan horse. This kind of horse is a medium-sized horse breed and was produced in Youzhou and Bingzhou. Gongsun Zan’s "White Horse Yi Cong" used this kind of horse.
Second, Xiliang horse. This horse is a large-sized horse. Its origin is in the Xia Yue area of Dawan in the Western Regions, which is the ancestor of today’s Arabian horse. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this horse breed was introduced from the Western Regions, and its common origin is in the Liangzhou area.
, the so-called "Xiliang Iron Cavalry" uses this kind of horse.
Third, the Southern Horse. This kind of horse lives in the south of the Three Kingdoms and is distributed in Jingzhou, Bajun, Yizhou and other places. It is short in stature and is not suitable for use as a war horse, but it is hardworking and hardworking and is very suitable for use as a pack horse for logistics. He is in
The descendants of a Yizhou branch are the famous "Dian Horses" today.
The war horses of the four princes in Hebei basically come from the two states of Bingyou, and Youzhou is the main one. However, Li Xiang's war horses come from a wide range of sources, and these Thousand Tiger Guards are his relatives.
After he captured Liangzhou, the Wei army had already upgraded their war horses, all of them had been replaced by Liangzhou's tall horses, and they were also the best-selected batch of war horses.
The Wuhuan horse, the main horse in the Bingyou area, is indeed good, but overall the Wuhuan horse is still far behind the Liangzhou horse. Not to mention other things, the size, posture, and pace are all too far behind.
The horse breed in Liangzhou is a mixture of local horses and Dawan horses from the Western Regions since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It took three hundred years to produce. The horses are tall and good at galloping. They are as fast as thunder and can also carry heavy loads. Therefore, Xiliang soldiers can carry armor.
Stomach attack.
Of course, the war horses of Bingyou Land also have their own advantages. Compared with the tall horses of Xiliang, although they are not as big as them, they consume less food and grass, have endurance, and are good at running on long distances.
No wonder, during the Three Kingdoms era, people said that the army armed with Liangzhou horses was called iron cavalry, while the army equipped with Bingzhou horses was called wolf cavalry.
However, from the time they won the battle to Hulao Pass, they did not need to run long distances, nor could they test the endurance of the war horses. At this time, the explosive power of the Liangzhou horses became even more valuable.
In Han Xin's view, although Li Xiang only brought a thousand people with him, if he was really in danger, he only needed to turn his horse's head and sprint, and he would be able to return to Hulao Pass in a short time.
Moreover, according to Han Xin's understanding of Li Xiang from the existing intelligence, today may not be as simple as they seem on the surface.
After thinking of this, Han Xin immediately asked his personal guards to go and convey orders to the scouts, and they must strictly control all disturbances within a radius of ten miles.
"Since Li Zifeng dared to come here, he must have left a safe way out. This is just expected." Di Qing said thoughtfully.
At this time, Di Qing finally let go of his anxious heart.
If there is really a risk that Li Xiang will be left behind by the coalition of princes, then Di Qing will definitely not be able to watch from the side. At that time, even if he is exposed in advance, he may have to use all his troops to help Li Xiang find a way out.
It's just that their chess piece has been buried for so many years. It would be a real pity if it was exposed at this time!
"Kong Xuan! Go and challenge! In this battle, we must win but not lose!" Li Xiang ordered decisively and simply.
If the other princes all get up in person, Li Xiang might be interested in chatting with him. Those princes are all famous figures passed down through the ages, especially Zulong Yingzheng.
No chance to see you again.
However, if it was just Yuan Shao, Li Xiang would not be that interested.
A mere Yuan Shao was not taken seriously by Li Xiang. Today, Li Xiang has enough confidence to say this!
