Chapter 440 Liu Fa’s forehead is dripping with cold sweat... (Third update)
Liu Fa looked at the ruthless Liu Zhongwu, and he had a lot of dealings with Liu Qi along the way.
Liu Qi, who had an enthusiastic and outgoing personality, was young, and was already very knowledgeable in military and military strategies, was also favored by Liu Fa.
That character showed a rare gentle smile.
"Uncle Xin (Liu Qi's nickname), please excuse me. I know that I have a good relationship with Gao Xuanfu, so I came here specifically to see the leg order."
"Is that the leg order sent by Duke Zhuangyuan?"
When Liu Qi heard this, his eyes lit up and he took it into his legs.
Liu Fa put his legs on his back, stood on the high hill, and looked at the low hills, the crisscrossed Jiangnan land, and the topography.
It can be said that it is quite unfriendly to the elite Imperial Guard cavalry.
But no, and only cavalry was the fastest moving force of that era.
But facing such terrain, it is extremely difficult to launch a large-scale cavalry assault.
Over there, Liu Qi had already finished reading the leg order from Gao Taoxuan, and raised his head to look at the solemn-faced General Liu Fa.
"General, I have finished reading. It seems that Gao Xuanfu has made a plan and is preparing to annihilate the main force of the Zhuchi rebels in the Wangting Town area."
"Based on my understanding of General Gao Xuanfu, he has always acted cautiously and would never set the battlefield here without preparation."
Liu Fa nodded, but he was still a little worried, even though he remembered that Liu Qi had said that Gao Xuan Fu was quite knowledgeable in military strategy.
Since he knows whether the reinforcements are cavalry or not, he should also consider whether the cavalry is suitable for the battlefield.
But no, if you are afraid of 10,000, you are just afraid of what may happen. Liu Fa feels that he must not put his hope in a child.
After all, the child prodigy champion is only twelve years old after all. Perhaps because of his talent and knowledge, a twelve-year-old child is also very good at talking on paper.
Isn't that interesting? Gao Xuanfu conveyed a simple and clear meaning regarding the leg sealing order.
I am in charge of the troops, so I make decisions when the opportunity arises. I will not interfere. I will even personally visit the battle formation to act as a bait to attract the enemy...
In this way, the pressure was directly transferred to Liu Fa.
After all, the soldiers and horses around Gao Xuanfu really come from all over the world and do not belong to each other. With such appearance, they can be used as bait.
If when the time comes, I cannot send my troops to defeat the enemy in time, haha...
When I think of the smiling and friendly-looking Lieutenant Gao Qiu, he has a childish look, and Prime Minister Cai's own son is in that team.
Is there anything wrong with that? Liu Fa felt unreasonable and his scalp was numb.
I really wonder if something happened to those three little kids there. Something happened to them.
Liu Fa felt that even if he could defeat thousands of troops, he would still be tortured to death by those three big men whose legs covered the sky.
Thinking of this, Liu Fa secretly wiped a drop of cold sweat from his forehead that was frightened by his own imagination, and turned his head to look at Liu Qi's face.
"The place where they are stationed is more than thirty miles away from the battlefield set by Gao Xuanfu."
"Then I will go with you, otherwise, you will be worried after all..."

The battlefield was preset to determine whether it could occupy a favorable location. After all, if there were not many soldiers and horses, Gao Tao then wanted to find a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a battlefield.
In addition, the battlefield needs to be wide and flat enough for cavalry assault.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a waste for the three thousand cavalry who rushed to the rescue in the starry night to abandon their horses and become soldiers.
As early as after he began to encourage the Zhu family and his son to rebel, Gao Zhang had been choosing suitable battlefields.
The best location is a few miles southeast of Nawangting Town, where there is a large flat deserted beach with several gurgling streams.
Compared to other places with muddy paddy fields and deep ditches and low hills, it was already the best battlefield that Gaozhang could choose from a hundred miles away.
"A car? Can you ask for any car?"
Huzhou Zhizhou looked at the official document from Gaozhang with a confused look on his face. Could it represent the order from the supreme commander of the Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road?
As for that order, the Huzhou magistrate always found it a bit confusing.
"No, Zhizhou, and Gao Xuanfu very said that all vehicles must be registered.
It will always be considered as if it was borrowed by him personally. If there is any damage, compensation will be based on the price of the new car."
"Whether it is a horse-drawn carriage, an ox-cart, or even a rickshaw, he needs it all, but if it doesn't, it must be delivered to the southeast of Nawangting Town before midnight in June..."
"I'm sure Gao Xuanfu really just asked for a car, instead of letting us fill the car with food or other things?"
Huzhou Zhizhou once again looked at the messenger who was ordered to come, and saw that the wrong party confirmed with great certainty.
The governor of Huzhou breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to neglect. He began to issue orders to the east and summoned a group of state officials and servants.
Let them all mobilize, even if they don't have to walk around the streets, be sure to get more cars for the prodigy champion.
No matter what kind of cart it is, it just needs to have a pulley that can be pushed by people. Even if two or three people pull an ox cart, it won't matter.

As the gate of Suzhou City opened, 30,000 soldiers and horses began to march toward the outside of Suzhou City.
As the emperor of Wu Kingdom, Zhu Meng, who was wearing armor, was walking in a cart pulled by six horses.
Surrounded by five hundred cavalry, they marched forward.
The five hundred cavalry may seem like a large force, but in reality, there are only a few hundred horses that can be used as war horses.
The remaining ones were either old or weak, or were crossbow horses suitable for pulling carts. Even mules were pulled to make up the number, and only then could the number of five hundred be made up.
Even if there are five hundred cavalry, there are one hundred people with iron armor, but they still look majestic, and even on the battlefield, they still have a very intimidating posture.
Not long after the large army left the city, a horse came from the south and came to the city gate at high speed.
Not long after, a letter asking for help from Wujiang County was placed in Zhu Meng's lap.
"At least four to five thousand officers and soldiers were found outside Wujiang County..."
"Where did the officers and soldiers there come from?"
Zhu Meng, with a dark face, looked at the news and almost wanted to curse.
I just asked to send troops to the north. It turns out that Xiuzhou was defeated, and the army invaded Wujiang County over there. How about that?
"Tell General Deng to lead two thousand troops and quickly move southward to reinforce Wujiang County."
"Remember, you are not allowed to fight the enemy outside the city. You are allowed to enter the city and defend it until I personally conquer Wangting Town and achieve victory.
Then he will march southward, and let the court know how powerful his elite troops are."
On the side, several generals who hurried over, including Ning Guoshi, all looked at the separate unit that was heading south of Suzhou.
