"I can deal with just a few little guys at will. Why do you need to wait to guard me?"
When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes narrowed and he immediately gave a sharp shout.
Lu Bu's majesty was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Seeing that Lu Bu was a little angry, even Ma Yingjie's heart tightened.
"Get out of here quickly. I haven't paid much attention to those little generals yet. The key is Xianbei's army. If it comes, you won't be able to leave."
"Is it possible that I still have to let you lead me to break through?"
"It seems that this time, Xianbei has already planned it and is waiting for the general to snare him. Xianbei really worked hard."
"But it seems that Jiuyuan also has their spies. This time when I go back, Ma Yingjie will give me a good cleaning."
Lu Bu's tone was a little cold.
He was naturally unhappy about being plotted by Grassland Xianbei. In order to deal with him, six strong men from the God Refining Realm were dispatched, and even one of them gave him the feeling that something was wrong.
But he is still not afraid.
Who is he, but he is called by Jiuyuan, Bingzhou God of War, his cultivation has reached the peak of god refining, he dares to fight even an immortal.
"But"
Ma Yingjie wanted to say something else.
"Shut up, I dare not listen to what I say."
"Remember, be sure to take them all back intact."
Lu Bu's eyes were solemn and he looked at Ma Yingjie with a sharp expression.
"Your mission is not simple. This time, since it is Xianbei's plan, I am afraid that not only do you want to kill me, but you also want to eat our elite cavalry."
This cavalry only has two thousand men, but they have fought with him in dozens of battles, large and small. Every soldier is a veteran of hundreds of battles, the best among the best.
It can be said that he has the most elite cavalry in Jiuyuan County.
There are eight thousand cavalrymen in Jiuyuan County, but in fact, the strongest is the two thousand in his hand. Once these two thousand are lost, it will really be a strain. If you want to build such an elite cavalry,
It will also take twenty years.
So now we know that Lu Bu will not allow Xianbei's plan, and his cavalry will suffer losses.
After all, he spent a lot of effort to build this cavalry.
The cavalry is not like other infantry. It is extremely slow to build and consumes a lot of resources. The Lu family is not a family that has been passed down for a long time.
Their background was too shallow, and this cavalry also cost most of their family's financial resources. After all, raising cavalry was too expensive.
The reason why he led his troops to the grassland when he had nothing to do was not only for revenge, but also to plunder the wealth of the grassland.
After all, these cattle, sheep and war horses are wealth and can support him in raising troops.
Their family cannot support so many cavalry just by relying on those fields. As for the court, the court doesn't care about the border at all.
For these soldiers and horses, the imperial court never paid a huge sum of money.
Therefore, Lu Bu did not have any loyalty to the imperial court. After all, they did not receive any benefits from the imperial court.
When the foreign tribes from the northern grasslands moved south, they had to rely on themselves to resist them.
If our Lu family hadn't joined the army wholeheartedly and opened up a path for the family to rise, then they, the Lu family, would be like ordinary people in Guizhou. Facing those grassland aliens, we can only hope that the armies from all over the country can stop them.
Lu Bu has known since he was a child that he must control his own destiny and command a powerful army. Only in this way can he protect the people he wants to protect.
"General, please take care of yourself"
Hearing Lu Bu's harsh words, Ma Yingjie understood the urgency of the situation. He also knew how much the Lu family had paid for this cavalry.
If this cavalry were to disappear all of a sudden, the blow to the Lu family would be huge.
The reason why the Lu family can become the number one force in Jiuyuan now is not only Lu Bu's military force, but also the control of this cavalry.
This cavalry can be said to be the private soldiers of their Lu family.
Of course, it was nothing new in the Liu Han Dynasty for powerful families to control private soldiers.
The aristocratic families in the Central Plains also control many private soldiers, but of course they do so secretly. Unlike in the border areas, the noble families here control private soldiers directly in the open.
Even the government will not pay attention to it at all.
After all, the government still relies on these people to resist the attack of the grassland.
When the grassland aliens entered the Liu Han Dynasty, their first target was the government. In the eyes of the grassland aliens, the government was the richest.
Therefore, the officials in these government offices can only rely on these powerful local nobles. As for counting on the imperial court, these officials know very well that they cannot count on them at all.
Therefore, private soldiers are prevalent in the border areas. Anyway, the powerful private soldiers of the nobles are the greatest guarantee. There are many local government troops, county soldiers, and county soldiers, but most of them are just make-up.
Just like the county of Jiuyuan, the government has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. On the contrary, the army composed of the major noble families is quite elite, and they are all veterans of hundreds of battles.
Lu's army does not have many troops. In addition to the two thousand cavalry, which are the most capable and elite, there is also a heavy infantry of three thousand.
In Lu Yi, Lu Bu's father was in control.
Of course, Lu Yi was the general of Bingzhou Jiuyuan at the moment, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, most of whom belonged to other noble families in Jiuyuan.
Lu Yi's cultivation level has reached the golden elixir level, and there are few in Jiuyuan who can compare with it.
Lu Yi inherited his father's legacy and fought many large and small battles in Jiuyuan. He also had rich experience in leading troops. Although he could only be regarded as a middle-aged man, he was also trusted by the nobles in Jiuyuan.
After all, Old General Lu is not as steady as Colonel Lu.
Lu Bu is brave and invincible. This is recognized by Jiuyuan and even Bingzhou, but Lu Bu's battles are often frightening.
After all, facing an army of 100,000, Lu Bu dared to charge directly into the battle with 2,000 troops. To outsiders, this was no different than seeking death.
Although Lu Bu won every time, it was frightening.
Therefore, in the eyes of the nobles, Lu Yi was more popular and steady, which could minimize losses.
After all, some of those soldiers and horses were jointly owned by their noble clans. If they were lost, their wealth would also be lost.
No noble family is willing to take it easy.
Of course, the soldiers at the bottom are naturally more willing to follow Lu Bu, because following him can make meritorious deeds, especially out of the grassland, and they can get many, many trophies.
All the turmoil in the world is for profit, and the soldiers have no great righteousness. They know that they will have food to eat with Lieutenant Lu, and there will be a lot of food to eat.
Ma Yingjie left, leaving quickly with two thousand cavalry and many war horses. As for the prisoners, cattle and sheep, he had no choice but to give up.
But fortunately, there were more than 5,000 war horses this time, which was a big gain.
After all, war horses are much more expensive than cattle and sheep. ()
