Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 73
After getting the news from Ma Teng, Liu He began to step up his preparations for the battle. Fortunately, the weather was good this year. Both the common people and the soldiers in the fields were full of harvest. The food stored in the army was enough to feed [-] soldiers for a year. Not long ago, Liu Yu also sent someone to send [-] war horses, plus the thousands of war horses that Liu He bought from various places, it was enough to assemble [-] cavalry.

However, if calculated according to the normal situation, the cavalry should be one person and two horses, one horse is responsible for carrying armaments, and one horse is responsible for carrying people, and some are even more perverted, one person has three horses, one horse carries armaments, and one horse carries people , the other horse does not carry anything, and will only be ridden by its master when it is on the battlefield. However, due to the shortage of horse supplies, it is really not the time to pay attention to it, so basically one person and one horse. Of course, in order to protect the horses, the soldiers They are usually not willing to ride at all, and even when they are marching, in order to save horsepower, they dismount and walk, and the supplies are all carried by themselves.

Of course, this is only done by the soldiers during training. If it is in combat, due to the urgent military situation and strict military discipline, it is really difficult to do this.

Moreover, in order to facilitate the maintenance of war horses, Liu He specially stipulated that the horses should be under the responsibility system of officers and soldiers, and the horses would be subcontracted to households, and each person would be bound to a fixed war horse. to the infantry battalion.

This practice is a great encouragement and stimulation to the cavalry soldiers. In order to make their beloved horses fat and strong, many soldiers also use their rest time to cut grass to feed their horses.

At the same time, Liu He found a group of blacksmiths in the army and taught them to make horseshoes to protect the horseshoes and reduce the damage to the horses.

At this time, there was no such thing as a horseshoe. Seeing that this thing could greatly protect the horses, the cavalry officers and soldiers bought steel out of their own pockets and asked the blacksmith to help make the horseshoe.

Liu He naturally greatly appreciated the soldiers' request, but he specifically stipulated that all soldiers who purchased steel out of their own pockets should be registered, and ordered the quartermaster to compensate the soldiers according to the original price of the steel.

On this day Liu He was watching the soldiers farming the fields, and based on his later generations' experience, he put forward many valuable suggestions. At this moment, he saw Shi Tao, the captain of Diannong, bringing a seven-foot young man in front of him, smiling. He said, "My lord, look who I brought here?"

Liu He looked at the young man in front of him, and saw that this young man looked very elegant, but in the corner of his eyes, he looked like he had been through vicissitudes, with a more mature color than his age.

"This, this, could it be..." Seeing that the man looked very close to Shi Tao and Cui Jun, Liu He immediately guessed the identity of the man, and said joyfully.

But he saw the man take the first step, cupped his hands to Liu He and said, "The villain Yingchuan Shanfu, I have met the envoy."

"Yuan Zhi, it's now time. There's no need to hide your identity from my lord. He's always hungry for talents. Corporal Lixian, not only will he not investigate your past murders, but he will also put you to good use. , so you just admit that you are Yingchuan Xu Shu."

Shi Tao laughed, and then respectfully said to Liu He: "To tell the truth, my lord, this person is Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, the young ranger who was recommended to you by the lower officials before. Because of his friends, he killed a local bully and was thrown into prison. Rescued by others, he turned into a list of blessings and came to study in my teacher's school. Although Yuan Zhi committed murder and violated the law at the beginning, but the person he killed was bullying men and women, and he did harm to one side. Please forgive me, my lord."

In fact, what Shi Tao said was half-truth and half-false. It was true to plead for Xu Shu, but he had already found out Liu He's attitude from Liu He in advance. Otherwise, even if he was Liu He's subject, he would not have rashly Let friends die.

Liu He naturally also knew that Shi Tao's words were actually asking for a clear attitude from himself, so he laughed loudly and said: "Yuan Zhi's murder did violate the court law, no matter how evil that person is, he must always be dealt with by the law. Yuan Zhi has no officials and no rights, so killing people should not be done. However, although the legal principles are difficult to tolerate, the reason is understandable. Yuan Zhi punished the evil and promoted the good, and eliminated the harm for the people. Forget it, I have always heard that Yuan Zhi is a great talent, and seeing him today is really a great comfort to my life, come, come, come with me to the mansion to have a talk."

Then Liu He took Xu Shu's hand and pulled him into his general's mansion. During this period, Liu He did not forget to order the system to quietly scan Xu Shu's attributes.

I saw the system saying: "Xu Shu, a counselor type talent, 63 force, 82 intelligence, 75 internal affairs, 78 charm, 75 loyalty, second-rate counselor, attributes have not reached the peak, peak attributes are, 63 force, 93 intelligence, 80 internal affairs, 80 charm , a first-class counselor, can be canonized as Tian Guxing, the host authority is insufficient..."

"This Xu Shu is known as a top-notch counselor, but his current attributes are so low, especially in intelligence. The difference between before and after has reached 11 points, which is really surprising."

Hearing Xu Shu's attributes, Liu He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

But the system laughed and said: "Actually, this is very normal, because Xu Shu has only been studying for a few years, and his knowledge and knowledge have really grown. It was when he was studying at Shuijingzhuang, and now there are still more than ten years before he is a teacher. In this way, it is not surprising that there is an 11-point difference in intelligence before and after."

Hearing the system's explanation, Liu He could only nod, because he thought what the system said seemed to make some sense.Fortunately, he has the abnormal ability to make the opponent's attributes reach their peak instantly, so he doesn't really care about this.

After coming to the mansion to sit down, Liu He had a long talk with Xu Shu while drinking cheese. He found that although Xu Shu didn't have such a brilliant and unique vision at this time, he had some suggestions for the current situation, such as attacking. Chang'an's strategy of merging states and integrating with Youzhou was surprisingly similar to that of Guo Jia, Xun You and others, and Xu Shu's knowledge was quite profound, which can be said to have laid a very good foundation for future growth.

"Yuanzhi, your suggestion is very good. Can you tell us what we should do now? For example, how should we promote the current situation in Chang'an?" Liu He said to Xu Shu with a smile.

"Here, let Rong Shu think about it carefully." A trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Xu Shu's face, and he said embarrassingly.

"Don't worry about Yuan Zhi, I will give you a favor today. I believe that after that, you should have some idea about this matter." Liu He patted Xu Shu's back lightly and said with a faint smile.
