The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 271 Marching ([-])

About half an hour later, all the Cao soldiers who were lined up on the edge of the water to protect the pontoon had already crossed the water.

At this time, Cao Ren couldn't help riding his horse to stand by the water, looking at the flying flag of Liu Chan's army opposite, he felt a little relieved, but he was also very disappointed.He turned his head to look at Man Chong beside him, and found that his expression was actually similar to his own.

Cao Ren sighed, "Bo Ning, although we lost this battle, we should be worthy of King Wei, right?"

In fact, Cao Ren had already asked Man Chong dozens of times before this question.However, Man Chong still took the trouble to answer now: "Captain, we have indeed tried our best. Just imagine, which general's army in my Wei Dynasty can besiege Guan Yu for several months without being destroyed?"

Cao Ren's heart was a little weak, but finally healed a little.Then, Cao Ren shouted loudly to the soldiers holding torches in front of the floating bridge: "Burn the bridge!"

Soon, Liu Chan and the others discovered that thick smoke was burning on the floating bridge.The flames were obviously not very clear. After all, it was daytime and the sunlight was pretty good, which had already covered up the color of the flames.

A smug smile appeared on Liu Chan's face again, he turned his horse's head and said to Guan Xing, "Second brother, pass down the order to withdraw the troops and return to the camp."

By the time Liu Chan and other generals returned to Dazhai, it was already night, and torches were lit outside the camp, swaying and burning in the breeze.

Because everyone was so excited, everyone was talking and laughing while coming to the handsome tent, and found that Guan Suo was already waiting inside, but he looked excited.

Seeing this, Liu Chan immediately went up to meet him and asked, "Third brother, how is Fancheng receiving it?"

Guan Suo's excited expression immediately faded away, and he changed into an expression of extreme prostration, and he stepped forward to bow his hands and salute: "My lord, the last general really convinced you this time, Fancheng actually let you do it without any trouble." It was taken down with one pawn! Although there is not much food and grass in Fancheng, there are still some equipment left, especially the [-] war horses. They are really good horses! All are tied in the stables Inside, looking at the rows of rows, that is spectacular!"

Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It seems that Cao Ren is still trustworthy. Don't move those horses, and put them in Fancheng temporarily. You must raise them to be fat and strong."

Guan Suo immediately agreed excitedly, and then a look of longing flashed in his eyes, and said: "My lord, I don't know what you want to do with those war horses? Will you be able to..."

Liu Chan smiled, it seems that this guy has taken a fancy to those war horses.But they have been with Cao Jun's cavalry for a long time, and they should be familiar with each other now, so the soldiers must be familiar with and trained with each other before they can really go to the battlefield!During this period, I am afraid it will take at least 20 days.Guan Suo is really too impatient.

So, Liu Chan said his thoughts, and everyone immediately nodded, and they all agreed with Liu Chan's approach.But Guan Suo suddenly said: "My lord, otherwise you can give me the task of training the horses!"

Guan Suo's words really spoke to Liu Chan's heart.In fact, he is now looking for a general to help him train those horses!However, will Guan Suo train war horses?
Liu Chan immediately frowned and asked, "Third brother, do you know how to train cavalry?"

Guan Suo hesitated for a moment and said: "Well...it will be a little bit, but..."

When Guan Xing listened behind Liu Chan, his phoenix eyes opened immediately, and he scolded: "What about this and that. Yes, just say yes, no, just say no, is this so difficult?"

Among the Guan family, Guan Pingping followed Guan Yu in battles all the year round, and the second elder brother Guan Xing supported him at home.So he seems to be Guan Suo's parent, even Guan Feng is afraid of him to death, it can be seen that his attitude towards disciplining his younger siblings is really strict!
Guan Suo immediately lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Actually... I'm not very good at it." Still refusing to admit that he can't train cavalry, it seems that he is really envious of those war horses.

When everyone heard this, except Guan Xing, they all laughed.

Liu Chan looked at Guan Xing, thinking in his heart, should he give him face?To be able to win Fancheng this time, apart from their own strategy being effective, the two brothers contributed the most!However, it would be great if Yu Jin was here now, as long as the captured horse was handed over to him, then who would dare to snatch it from him?
Liu Chan sighed inwardly, stepped forward and patted Guan Suo's strong arm, and said with a smile, "Third brother, you don't know how to train cavalry, so it's not a difficult thing. Well, it turns out that the second uncle has included several Wan Yujin's army, most of them are from the north, you go and select some who can ride horses to be promoted to cavalry. I will find some cavalry training for you from among the surrendered generals to assist you. What do you think?"

Guan Suo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you, my son, for your success!" If it wasn't for his armor, he would have knelt down to Liu Chan with a plop.This cavalry is really rare for the Jingzhou army who lacks horses!
Then Liu Chan said again: "However, second brother, don't be too happy. Even if those cavalry are finished training, I'm afraid they won't be assigned to the battalions immediately."

Now it was Guan Xing's turn to feel strange.In fact, he was also looking forward to his left battalion being able to equip some more cavalry.But he is a very restrained character, so he doesn't show much desire on the surface.

Guan Xing immediately asked: "Why is this, son?"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Second brother, don't worry. Now our army is facing Cao Wei's army on the frontal battlefield. The main force of our army is cavalry, while the main force of our army is infantry. In comparison, we are at a disadvantage. Counting now, our army has a total of [-] war horses, and if we gather them together, we can form a battalion of cavalry troops!"

Guan Xing was a little unhappy in his heart.His left battalion army and Guansuo's right battalion army now each have [-] cavalrymen, Shizi's middle battalion army has [-] cavalrymen, if Shizi wants to gather all the cavalrymen now, his combat effectiveness will inevitably drop A lot of.

Guan Xing then said: "My lord, if we gather the cavalry, how will our battalions deal with the enemy's cavalry in the future?"

Of course Liu Chan knew what Guan Xing was thinking, and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry too much. Of course, now is not the time to gather all the cavalry. After all, it takes time to train the [-] horses, and we have to go north immediately. I have fought against Xu Huang's army. Besides, even if all the cavalry are gathered in the future, the cavalry battalion will allocate a certain number of cavalry for use by the commanders of your battalions during the war."

Hearing this, Guan Xing felt more at ease in his heart, so he nodded and said, "That's good."

At this time, Liu Chan realized that everyone had been in the handsome tent for some time, and a group of people were still standing at the door, and they were talking with gusto.He immediately smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that your legs will hurt if you stand like this? Shall we hurry up and take our seats?"

Immediately, everyone laughed again, only to realize that because they seemed too excited just now, they forgot to sit down before discussing matters!
Only then did Liu Chan order the guards to hurry up and ask the guy to bring food to everyone.It's night now, but everyone hasn't eaten anything all afternoon, and they really feel hungry.
