Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

The person who knows the soldiers
Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou.

Lu Bu came back from his inspection in the morning, and when everything in the barracks was as usual, he returned to his mansion with satisfaction.

Lu Bu is not a self-disciplined person, and he does not go to inspect the military camp every day, but because today's training is over early, he can only be self-disciplined in one thing, that is, to polish his martial arts, which seems to have been engraved in the in his blood...

Stepping through the door of his house, Lu Bu saw some servants hanging lanterns on the beams of the house.Just as he was about to ask, he remembered that he was about to take up the post of Sima of the other Ministry of Protecting Xianbei, and the government was preparing to celebrate.

Lu Bu was very happy about this kind of promotion and fortune at first.

However, as the follow-up became more and more complicated, we met, celebrated, and boasted to each other with people from the clan, the county, people we knew, and people we didn’t know, and kept talking about no nutrition or He didn't understand the words at all, and he gradually became less interested in it, and he didn't know what it would be like to be a high-ranking official.

From Lu Bu's point of view, if the current high officials were really useful, the world would not be so chaotic.

But if someone asked him, what would he do if he became a high official?Lu Bu actually didn't know how to answer.

He would probably say that he will lead the flying cavalry to kill all the Xianbei and all the thieves in the world, just like General Ouyang did back then, to create a peaceful and prosperous world for the people of the big man!He believes that this is the real person who does practical things.

However, looking at the happy appearance of his old mother and relatives in the clan, Lu Bu felt that being an official is not a bad thing, but depends on how to do it. okay?
Just when Lu Bu was a little dazed, a man dressed in a flying cavalry uniform came up to him:
"General Lu, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Bu looked at the person who came, he was a little puzzled, he didn't know this person, but he felt familiar, so he asked:

"Who are you?"

The visitor replied:

"The young one is General Zhang Yang's personal guard. He came to report to General Lu on General Zhang's order. General Zhang has gone to Taiyuan. Here is a letter. General Zhang must ask the general to read it."

Lu Bu took the letter and flipped through it hastily.He was thankful that Zhang Yang didn't write any polite sentences this time, otherwise his brows would have been frowned three feet deep.

The meaning of the letter is simple and direct, but it means that we have already negotiated with Lu Zhi. The Flying Cavalry Army has changed from a civilian rebel army to an official army. Lu Bu will serve as Lu Zhi's other department commander and lead this army, and Zhang Yang will assist him in stationing. In Bingzhou defending the western front, now Zhang Yang followed Lu Zhi's mission and went to Taiyuan to ask for the horse that was seized by Feiqi last time.

Soon, someone came to report again, saying that Lu Zhi sent someone to deliver things.The envoys carried the official proclamation of the appointment of Lu Bu, as well as official seals, tokens, and several flags embroidered with the word Lu.

After Lu Bu handed over to the envoy, he touched his official seal and felt a little at a loss, so he became an official?I heard that this other Sima is not a petty official...

At this time, Zhang Yang's personal guard stepped forward again and described the conversation with Lu Zhi at that time, and even imitated Lu Zhi's tone of speech at that time:
"Lu Zhonglang said, now that General Lu is under my command, you don't need to prepare food and supplies by yourself when you wait for Feiqi. From now on, all military resources will be allocated by Hu Xianbei Zhonglang. Approved by the Son of Heaven and prepared by the imperial court, that is to say, you are now a regular Han army, and if there is any military situation, you must obey the military order first, and you must not violate it!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu felt very complicated. Having a stable logistics supply is of course much better than collecting it by himself now, but what does "obey the military order first, and not violate it!" What exactly do you mean?Wasn't it said that he enjoyed a great deal of autonomy?

The military situation is changing rapidly, do we have to wait for Lu Zhonglang to issue orders all the way when we have a fighter?

Doesn't that mean you can't fight back after the Xianbei people have hit you in the face...?
However, Zhang Yang's personal guard then revealed another new piece of news, which soon regained Lu Bu's attention, and he soon stopped worrying about this issue.That is, Lu Zhi has confessed that the horse lance that Lu Bu has been thinking about has already started to build, and it will not be long before it will be slowly equipped for all flying cavalry troops.

The horse lance is a heavy weapon equipped by the cavalry. It was very famous in the Han Dynasty and can be regarded as a treasure of the cavalry. There is a saying in the Han Dynasty: If you are not a good cavalry, you cannot use a lance.

It's just because the cost is too high, the production time is too long, and the use is difficult, so the popularity rate is actually very low.

According to the explanation of ancient books, a lance is actually a kind of spear. The length of a spear reaches eight feet, so it is called a lance.Horse lance, as the name suggests, is a weapon held by cavalrymen on horseback.In addition, there are other lances, but later, because Ma lance is very famous, when it comes to lance, everyone takes it for granted that it refers to Ma lance.

Not only people at that time, but also many people in later generations, especially cold weapon lovers, have a strong interest in Ma Chan, of course, this is a later story...

Ever since Lu Bu formed the Flying Cavalry Army, he has been thinking about a problem. The weapons they use are all made temporarily. It is okay to face the general army. , not to mention fighting with it, even if it is a face-to-face meeting, the current equipment of the flying cavalry alone cannot gain the upper hand.

Therefore, he also thought about asking Lu Zhi to change his equipment, but he didn't expect that Lu Zhonglang would take the initiative to promise to gradually equip the flying cavalry with such high-end weapons before him.

The horse lance is divided into two parts: lance front and lance pole.The length of the lance can reach half a meter, which is much longer than ordinary spear weapons. Therefore, it has a powerful impact to face heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor and even horses wrapped in iron armor.

A well-made horse lance will show eight faces like a good sword, that is, the edges and corners are very rich, but unlike a sword, it has a considerable thickness, so it has strong toughness, which is not so easy. broken.Several kinds of armors that are common at present, such as fish-scale chain mail, iron round armor, and bright light armor, are difficult to resist the impact of cavalry holding horses.

Since Ouyang Long mass-produced this kind of plug-in weapons and equipped his heavy cavalry troops, the cavalry's impact and attacking capabilities have reached an unprecedented height, and it has also been beyond the reach of other cavalry generals in the world. There is a strong desire for Ma Chan,
Therefore, when the word "马槊" floated into Lu Bu's ears, he was as excited as a miser hearing gold, silver and jewels. Fully built and used in actual combat.

You must know that weapons like this have very high requirements on materials and workmanship. If you don't have considerable economic strength, you can't afford it at all.

Even a person like Lu Bu who doesn't care about government affairs knows how difficult it is to produce a large number of weapons like Ma Qian. It seems that Lu Zhonglang is also a man who knows soldiers, and his position in Lu Bu's heart has also improved a lot...

"Forget it, since Lu Zhonglang knows and loves soldiers so much, I, Lu Fengxian, will obey his orders...!"

Lu Bu didn't know what a master of Confucian classics or a master of Confucianism in the Northland was. He couldn't read poetry and books since he was a child, so he always kept a respectful distance from these people, but Lu Zhi, a great Confucian, really made him feel like a general who understands soldiers and loves them. vision.

As the so-called "practice is good within the six doors", Lu Zhi, as the imperial guard appointed by the imperial court, not only has an official status, but also has the support of a prominent family in the north, so it is naturally much easier to do things.He will soon be able to mobilize the strength of the clan and many craftsmen in Hebei to start the manufacture of various weapons and armaments. In addition to horses, there are also yellow crossbows and armors. After these things are completed, they will be given to the flying cavalry. equipment.

After Lu Bu heard the news, his mind was full of himself and his army, riding a steed, carrying a lance, leaping and whipping, invincible.

With endless motivation, he naturally ignored an important issue, that is, when his army got rid of those miscellaneous weapons and began to use such advanced standard weapons and logistical supplies, he and the flying cavalry also lost their freedom.

Just when Lu Bu happily brought Lu Zhonglang's envoys into the mansion to arrange a banquet, another horse from outside the mansion came to report: The Southern Huns in Shangjun rebelled, colluding with the Eastern Qiang people in several counties, and are now besieging the county. Shi...

After hearing this, Lu Bu ignored the surprised crowd, and immediately returned to the Flying Cavalry Barracks to gather the whole army for the expedition...!
