At the same time, Chen Xi and his party, who were marching in the cool night, without knowing it, passed by Liu Bei and his party who were resting at a farmhouse not far away.[
"What's wrong with Zhong Kang?" Liu Bei, who was reading under the moonlight, was interrupted by the power emanating from Xu Chu who suddenly opened his eyes, so he raised his head and asked curiously.
"There are more than a hundred cavalry passing here a few hundred meters away." Xu Chu said with a frown. Marching at night is not a big deal, but more than a hundred cavalry is indeed a lot.
"It's probably because our army has something to do. It's always hot and unbearable during the day, but at night it's cool and the moon shines brightly, so it's a good time to march." Liu Bei understood after thinking about it for a while, "Have you ever stopped?"
"No." Xu Chu also understood, so he did not go out to investigate. Otherwise, when the moon and stars were sparse and he could study by moonlight, he would definitely be able to see Hua Xiong and his party with his eyesight.
"That's enough, I'm afraid I have military affairs." Liu Bei nodded and said, then picked up the book and continued to read.
Chen Xi naturally didn't know that he had passed by Liu Bei. He was still ordering Hua Xiong to rush to Donglai while the night was cool.
"Zijian, don't worry about the two of us. Just move forward at full speed. It's better to suffer some bumps than to get none of the Lu family's craftsmen." Chen Xi said to Hua Xiong, who was a little concerned about himself and Zhuge Liang.
"Here!" Hua Xiong nodded, and then waved more than a hundred riders to form a small arrow array. With Hua Xiong as the leader, a ball of fiery red cloud burst out, and the speed suddenly increased. Hua Xiong was a
Excellent cavalry commander.
"Huh?" Liu Bei, who had finally entered the reading state again, was once again disturbed by Xu Chu's surprised voice.
"What's wrong, Zhongkang?" Liu Bei asked in confusion, saying that since Xu Chu followed him, such things that were not consistent with his status as a guard rarely happened.
"Lord, I seemed to have felt Zijian's momentum just now." Xu Chu frowned and said, "But it passed in a flash. Maybe I felt wrong." Xu Chu became less confident as he said it, scratching his head and feeling embarrassed.
"Hahaha, Zijian is still training our cavalry at Fenggao based on the Xiliang cavalry model. How could he appear in Beihai?" Liu Bei stood up and patted Xu Chu's generous back, "Zhongkang, go and rest, you
I’m also tired.”
"My lord, Zhongkang is not tired." Xu Chu told the truth.
"Okay. Let's go and have a rest. I won't read anymore and will go to rest." Liu Bei closed the book and walked towards his room. Xu Chu was left standing in the courtyard with a puzzled look on his face, and then shook his head.
He shook his head and went back to his room to rest.
"This speed is really exaggerated!" Zhuge Liang was so stunned that he wanted to vomit, but he looked at the leader Hua Xiong with bright eyes, "This is also an ability, right? It seems to have increased a lot of strength and speed."
"Hahaha, this is my ability. The impact of the Xiliang cavalry I lead will be much stronger than others." Hua Xiong said without looking back after hearing Zhuge Liang's words.
"It's a pity that even in this way, it is still very difficult to step into the formation." Hua Xiong was obviously very depressed when he said this. Although the Xiliang cavalry is said to have the strongest impact and is the best cavalry to step into the formation, it is a pity that it does not have a high bridge saddle and stirrups. The Xiliang cavalry are only good in terms of formation. Even if they are led by Hua Xiong.
"Don't worry, Zijian, this problem can actually be solved, but now is not the time. I can only seal it until we don't own the horse-producing land." Chen Xi was a little uncomfortable being shaken, and he breathed the hot air loudly. He said, "When we own the horse-producing land, you will understand the true use of the Xiliang cavalry. It is not possible now. Once exposed, it will be difficult for us to deal with ourselves!"
Horse iron hoofs, a thing that protects horseshoes, are not very useful in this world, but the importance of high bridge saddles and stirrups to cavalry is undeniable. At least with these two, the assault cavalry, which is famous for its impact, can Only cavalry that can truly play its role and beat infantry one to ten can be considered mature.
But it is a pity that these two things are too simple. It can even be said that the thinking circuit of the Han Dynasty people did not think of the high bridge saddle and stirrups, rather than that they could not be made. It can be said that as long as Chen Xi dares to take them out, no matter how they are kept secret, unless Kill everyone you see, otherwise all the princes from all over the world will be equipped with such things after just one expedition.
Improving the enemy's combat effectiveness is not Chen Xi's hobby. Liu Bei, who has no horse-producing land, has no need to bring out such things.
Because of this, Chen Xi had thought long ago that he would wait until Liu Bei occupied Jizhou and owned the horse-producing land before taking it out. Otherwise, Yuan Shao and the remnants of Dong Zhuo would be strengthened too much. As for now, he would rather slow down the training speed of the cavalry. We will never give others the chance to imitate.
"Then thank the military advisor in advance." Hua Xiong shouted into the wind. He had been in contact with Chen Xi for a long time, so he naturally believed that Chen Xi was not trying to make fun of him.
"You'll understand then." Chen Xi retracted his body and said loudly. He couldn't stand it anymore. With this level of bumpiness, it was really time to build the road.
[This road is really a problem. There is a big problem in the cement. How to deal with the inferior Roman mortar cement and the volcanic ash? Do you still need to use Sanhe soil in the end? Are you kidding me?] Chen Xi remembered that he had always ordered the kilns to burn lime. But so far, no shaped cement has been developed. It should be said that this technology content is somewhat high, right?
[It’s so annoying. A half-finished product is just a half-finished product. Build the road first and don’t study it anymore. That’s just lime mixed with sand and laying bricks to pave the road!] When Chen Xi was knocked to the ground and about to vomit, he finally made up his mind. According to his estimation, the cement It is estimated that the technology cannot be researched, so we can make do with semi-finished Roman mortar. Sanhe soil is used as the base, and the semi-finished mortar is sticky and can be directly laid with bricks. As expected, only by experiencing it personally can people understand the importance of things.
"Kong Ming, what do you think our Taishan Qingzhou still lacks? Of course, there is no need to talk about what we are doing now. Talking about other things can also divert our attention, and maybe we won't feel the bumps." Chen Xi was shaken to death. asked, he really just wanted to divert his attention.
"The biggest problem is that official positions are not clear." Zhuge Liang never thought of using this method to divert attention and said directly to the point.
"It goes without saying that Duke Xuande became the General of Zhendong. After he was recognized by the clan, he originally said that he would establish a government office to accurately divide individual official responsibilities. However, things happened one after another, and there was never a good time. However, this time
After the Second Yellow Turban, Xuande Gong will probably be able to free up his hands to open a government office." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, this matter has been talked about for a long time.
Speaking of which, Lu Su had noticed the issue of official positions and positions very early, but did not raise it. In addition to waiting for Liu Bei to open a government office, there was also part of the reason why Chen Xi often assigned tasks across responsibilities. (To be continued...)
