Chapter 67 Departure
"After all, it's a while later than Zihan!" Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first. Xue Bing turned his head and looked at it, but saw a shiny shaking her eyes. She narrowed her eyes slightly and then recovered. When she saw the iron cavalry following Zhang Fei, Xue Bing widened her eyes and said to Zhang Fei who was walking in front of her: "How did Yide bring the iron cavalry out like this?"
Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, turned around and said in confusion: "What's wrong with the Iron Cavalry?" Then he laughed and said: "Isn't it very majestic when I lead this Iron Cavalry?"
Xue Bing stroked his forehead with his hand and shook his head and said, "When Yide led the troops, he had never heard General Zhang Yi explain what the Iron Cavalry should pay attention to?"
Zhang Fei was stunned and said, "Does this Iron Cavalry still have many taboos?"
Xue Bing said: "Of course, there is, the Iron Cavalry must unload their armor when marching. Why did Yide take it out if he didn't let them unload their armor?"
Zhang Fei said: "Download armor? When marching and fighting, how can there be no armor?"
Xue Bing felt a split headache and had to explain: "Although the lord doesn't have many war horses under his command, there are still thousands of war horses. Why is the Iron Cavalry only three thousand people? Doesn't Yide understand?"
Seeing Xue Bing like this, Zhang Fei knew that something was important to him and wanted to tell him, so he sat on the horse with a serious face and listened to Xue Bing's detailed introduction to the Iron Cavalry.
Xue Bing first ordered the Iron Cavalry: "Dropping off the armor!" Then he said to Zhang Fei: "It is not difficult to train the Iron Cavalry. In fact, it is not very difficult for the soldiers in the main combat troops to draw thousands of soldiers to train them into the Iron Cavalry."
Zhang Fei said: "Then why did we only form three thousand people?"
Xue Bing said: "War Horse!"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he suddenly realized that he was not a fool. In addition, after many years of marching, Xue Bing only needed a little to understand. "Zihan means that my brother does not have a suitable war horse under his command?" When he saw that the iron cavalry was wearing armor, he even put on horses. It is conceivable how high the requirements for war horses were. Liu Bei was in the south for many years, and Xichuan was not a place where war horses were abundant, so it was not easy to find suitable war horses.
Xue Bing said: "The lord originally had many war horses, but only more than a thousand could be used to form an Iron Cavalry Army. Later, General Ma Chao contacted the Qiang people and exchanged some war horses for food and cloth, and barely gathered up a unit of 3,000. These three thousand troops could make all the excellent war horses in the lord's hands die, one less. It can be said that the lord's family's assets are all under the general's account." Speaking of this, Xue Bing paused, glanced at the Iron Cavalry Army, and saw that it had been removed.
After the armor was finished, it was properly packed, and a special army would receive the armor and be responsible for transportation. Then he continued to Zhang Fei: "The armor was heavy, and the horses could still hold on during the battle, but when marching and traveling for a long distance, it would not be suitable to approve the armor. This would make the horses too tired and unable to exert their maximum combat power when fighting. This was the most important point." Then he sighed and said: "The lord has only these three thousand good horses under him, so the general must be careful."
After hearing Xue Bing's words, Zhang Fei understood what the three thousand iron cavalry was in Liu Bei's army. As the saying goes, things are precious because they are rare. Liu Bei gathered in the two states and even exchanged grain and cloth with foreign races to collect these three thousand good horses. Zhang Fei's cicadas are now, so he naturally dared not use this army indiscriminately.
Looking back, seeing that the Iron Cavalry had already been removed, and they had set up their formations and stood there. Zhang Fei and Xue Bing chatted for so long, but without any slacking off, he was even more happy and said to Xue Bing: "My brother has a white-eared elite soldier, who is his brother's personal soldier. He has always been his brother's treasure. Now there is such an iron cavalry, but I don't know who will be the trump card in my brother's hands in the future."
Xue Bing said: "The Baier elite soldiers are heavy infantry and heavy defense. The iron cavalry is a heavy attack. The two functions are different and cannot be compared. Moreover, the Baier elite soldiers have been established for a long time, and their strength is definitely not comparable to the Iron Cavalry Army that has just been formed!" He said this without loud voice, but it was not small, just to let the Iron Cavalry soldiers not far away hear clearly, and all their faces showed resentment. Xue Bing saw that he knew that he had regarded the Baier elite soldiers as their competitors in his heart and laughed secretly. Then he said to Zhang Fei: "It's not too early, I must set off earlier."
Zhang Fei said, "Let's go! I've been wasting a long time at this door." At this time, Zhang Fei saw clearly that the silver-armored young man in front was Mrs. Xue Bing, Sun Shangxiang. He said to Xue Bing with a look of surprise: "What is your wife doing?"
After hearing this, Xue Bing smiled bitterly: "She is dressed like this, can't you still see it?"
While the two were talking, Sun Shangxiang had already rode his horse over and said to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang, we need more attention in the future."
Zhang Fei replied blankly: "Sure, certain!" After Sun Shangxiang walked away again, he realized and said to Xue Bing: "Zihan, why don't you really let your wife go to the battlefield, right?"
Xue Bing said: "She insisted on going, so how can I stop it?"
Zhang Fei looked at Xue Bing, and saw his doting expression on his face. He knew that he could not bear to blame Sun Shangxiang, so he said, "However, the battlefield is dangerous, Zihan is worried that his wife will take the risk in person?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Bing suddenly turned serious and said, "I have long explained the danger of the battlefield. Since she insisted on going, let her go together! After all, she has always hoped to become a hero like her brother."
Zhang Fei curled his lips: "Her brother? Sun Quan?"
Xue Bing said: "It's Sun Ce!"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he said seriously: "A woman has such ambition? She really makes people look down on her wife." So he stopped talking about persuading her to go home, and rode forward with Xue Bing.
At this time, Guan Feng and Lu Xun had said goodbye to Sun Shangxiang. Seeing Xue Bing coming up, they said goodbye to Xue Bing. When Guan Feng saw Zhang Fei, he hurriedly said "Uncle"
When Zhang Fei heard the sound, he saw the girl and said, "Why did you come to Chengdu? When did you come?"
Guan Feng said: "I came yesterday and I'm going back today."
Zhang Feiqi said: "Why did you come and go back?"
Guan Feng pouted and said, "How could I come now? My uncle and uncle are going to lead troops to fight?"
Zhang Fei patted the back of his head and smiled, "But he didn't expect his niece to come. It's a pity that your aunt and Bao'er were not in Chengdu, otherwise you would have a playmate."
Guan Feng said: "I'm going back to Jingzhou now. I'll go to see my aunt next time I see my uncle."
Zhang Fei said, "Okay!" Then he looked at the scholar-like man next to him and asked, "Who is this?"
Lu Xun said: "Lu Xun Lu Boyan in the east of the Yangtze River."
Zhang Fei said strangely when he heard this: "Why are you with my niece?"
Lu Xun said: "I came to Chengdu from Jiangdong, and I was thanks to Miss Guan leading the way along the way. Now I want to return to Jiangdong, Miss Guan wants to return to Jingzhou, so I walked together."
Zhang Fei looked at the two of them with a suspicion and finally shouted: "If I were to know that you dare to bully Feng Yatou on the road, I would definitely kill you to Jiangdong and kill you, a scholar."
Lu Xun just smiled and said nothing. Seeing that this person was not scared by him, Zhang Fei couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Several people said goodbye one after another, Guan Feng and Lu Xun led dozens of followers to leave first. Seeing that he had gone far, Xue Bing said to Zhang Fei: "Let's go too!"
Zhang Fei was also looking into the distance, with a strange expression on his face. He heard Xue Bingyan and shouted loudly: "The whole army sets off!" The army that had blocked the city gate for a long time rushed to Brazil.
On the way, Zhang Fei and Xue Bing rode together in front of the army. Zhang Yi and Sun Shangxiang were a little behind. After walking for a while, Zhang Fei said to Xue Bing lightly: "Zihan, I see something is wrong with Feng Yat."
Xue Bing was wondering whether that letter would work in his head! He suddenly heard Zhang Fei talking to him, but he didn't react for a while. After a while, he asked, "Why is something wrong?"
Zhang Fei said: "Feng girl has been arrogant since she was a child. Generally, men don't even give her a direct look. Why are they so close to that scholar-like person?"
Xue Bing thoughtfully, "I'm not that little girl Guan Feng, what do you want to ask me?" But he answered casually: "Maybe I've taken a fancy to someone!"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei relied on it: "No, not bad, I think I'm attracted to that boy. In a blink of an eye, the girl Feng is so old and is almost at the age of getting married."
Xue Bing asked, "Oh! How old is Guan Feng this year?"
Zhang Fei said: "I am one year younger than my Baoer, and I think I am fourteen this year."
Xue Bing was stunned when she heard this and said to Zhang Fei: "How many? Fourteen?"
Zhang Fei looked at Xue Bing with a strange look on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Bing hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay!" But he said in his heart: "It's only fourteen? I thought it's seventeen or eighteen! This girl is too mature."
Zhang Fei did not notice Xue Bing's weirdness, but said, "It's so fast. In a blink of an eye, Feng'er is so big. Bao'er is fifteen years old. In the next two years, he will be able to go with me! Then, the father and son will go together." After saying that, he laughed loudly. After laughing, he said to Xue Bing: "But it's still not as good as you, a kid. It's absolutely unheard of for the couple to go together."
Xue Bing smiled dryly and secretly glanced at Sun Shangxiang. Seeing his excited expression, he kept touching the two spears hanging immediately with his hands. At this time, Xue Bing realized that Sun Shangxiang used to use a gun, so why did he bring two of them? Then he turned around and asked, "Why did Xiang'er bring two... guns?" He was about to say two spears, but when he saw that these two spears were slightly shorter than the spear, he quickly changed his words.
Sun Shangxiang laughed and said, "Thanks to the stirrup you made! Now that you can force your feet, it is more convenient to control the war horse, but your hands are more idle, so you have created these two guns, one hand and one shot." As he said that, he took out the two guns with both hands and danced a few times on the horse.
Zhang Fei looked at it, shouted, and said, "I don't want the wife to be so exquisite!"
