"that's it?"
"that's it."
"And did you just say 'borrow'?"
"It's 'borrow'." Liu Zhaoqing nodded. This time, the conversation with Liu Yu was repeated several times for unknown reasons, which also showed the continuous shock in Liu Yu's heart.
Looking at Liu Zhaoqing, Liu Yu even suspected whether Liu Zhaoqing was using a special way to comfort himself, but looking at the firm light in his eyes, Liu Yu knew that Liu Zhaoqing was serious.
After a pause, Liu Yu suppressed his slightly excited heart that was ablaze with hope, and said to Liu Zhaoqing with an extremely serious look:
"If you can really...find He'er back."
"Then I will give you a great gift."
-
In the afternoon, Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao returned to Changping.
Although there were only two fast horses when they went, there was a long team when they came back this time.
What is most numerous in this team is not people, but tall and strong horses wearing leather armor and saddles.
There were three other carts loaded with suits of iron-scale armor and long and short iron weapons.
Zhang Jiao, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others who had been waiting at the door for a long time were delighted when they saw Liu Zhaoqing coming back.
"Shut up!"
Pulling the reins, the horse neighed and stopped at the door.
Liu Zhaoqing rolled over and smiled at Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and the others:
"Now, everything is ready, except for you and me."
Chapter 172 Go to White Wolf Mountain 5K
After saying goodbye to everyone waiting, Liu Zhaoqing immediately distributed the good things he had obtained along with Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others.
Each of the forty war horses had smooth hair and obvious light in their eyes.
These were all selected by Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao in the only war horse stable in Jicheng after receiving orders from Liu Yu.
The armor and weapons in the carriages were also quickly carried down by Zhao Yun and his soldiers with a smile on their faces and sent to the military camp.
Not only Zhao Yun and the soldiers were happy, but also Liu Zhaoqing and the others.
The experience of "upgrading from a musket to a cannon" really happened to him. If it weren't for this huge accident, Liu Zhaoqing might have to farm in Changping for a long time before he could imagine when he would have a proper cavalry.
The "opportunity" that Guo Jia mentioned has only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
That night, Liu Zhaoqing, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Guo Jia were discussing the upcoming actions in the guest hall.
"According to Baoer, the dry food has been almost prepared. We won't stay in the north for long this time, so it doesn't matter if we prepare less." Liu Zhaoqing said.
"Yes." Zhang Liao nodded. "With the horses and armor that you borrowed from Jicheng, I will also have my trained soldiers put them on and give it a try."
“If there are unqualified people, I’m afraid we need to streamline the number of people.”
There was no way around it. In the past, Zhang Liao always used "empty training", letting the soldiers imagine or simply train with some weights.
Although Zhang Liao had long known the importance of horse riding and had trained the soldiers, the soldiers naturally did not have the courage to each have a horse. Instead, they took turns riding on two or three ordinary horses that Zhang Liao found in the city.
"If there are really soldiers who are not suitable for this raid, it would be better to point them out earlier. It is also responsible to them and to us as a whole." Liu Zhaoqing nodded and then looked at Zhao Yun and Guo Jia.
"Do you two have anything else to say?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I have been preparing for this for a long time."
Guo Jia smiled and looked at Liu Zhaoqing: "The warhorse is also a good one, and the weapons and armor are brand new. My Lord, Liu Yu has high expectations for you this time, and he has entrusted you with a great responsibility."
"This is a better thing for us, so you just need to be bold and do it."
Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly.
Afterwards, after Guo Jia and Liu Zhaoqing discussed it, they both came up with the principle of going north to find Liu He, which was "mainly to preserve their own strength and find foreign tribes to capture cattle and sheep, and to kill the Hu people and find Liu He as a supplement."
This fighting mentality needs to be established early, otherwise it is easy to forget your original purpose while fighting.
Most of the strategies and plans had been formulated yesterday, and Liu Zhaoqing and his subordinates were only waiting for this batch of important supplies.
So after just a few more confirmations, Liu Zhaoqing hurriedly asked Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to return to the camp in Changping, and the two of them worked overnight to help the forty or so trained soldiers quickly adapt to the new equipment.
I am preparing to take a rest and start heading north early tomorrow morning.
But after Guo Jia's reminder, Liu Zhaoqing remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to confirm it with an important person.
He called the servant and asked him to call Zhen Mi, who was almost staying in the mansion.
When Zhen Mi saw Liu Zhaoqing and bowed to him, she was still filled with doubts and guesses as to why Liu Zhaoqing had called her over.
Liu Zhaoqing also said straight away that he needed Yoyo to determine his location, but he didn't know if this method would work.
After Zhen Mi thought about it seriously, she immediately asked Youyou and got the answer: Although Youyou could not confirm the location of the alien humans, she could know where she could not go.
That's enough.
The last obstacle was cleared. Liu Zhaoqing asked Guo Jia to go to rest early, and asked Zhen Mi to take Youyou, who was hidden in the darkness, back to prepare.
I stood in the corridor at the entrance of the living room, thinking about the dangers of this journey north.
Daring to attack foreign tribes with more than 40 cavalrymen was a shocking thing no matter which dynasty it was, even in the most powerful Han Dynasty.
Not to mention the mythical late Han Dynasty today, those foreign races and ferocious beasts outside the Great Wall are far more dangerous than before.
That's why Liu Yu was so shocked.
But as Guo Jia said, if he continued at the original pace, it would probably take him at least three years to grow into a "normal" force.
too long.
Guo Jia couldn't wait that long, and neither could Liu Zhaoqing.
Although Xun Yu had not replied yet, Liu Zhaoqing knew that it would not be long before Dong Zhuo prepared to depose the emperor and arouse the anger of the outstanding people of Luoyang.
It is necessary to occupy a seat in the future crusade, which is also a battle for interests.
High danger also means high rewards. According to Liu Yu and other information, Liu Zhaoqing knows that many tribes of the Wuhuan and other Hu peoples have become very rich through looting and development.
As long as this trip is successful, Liu Zhaoqing's wish will be fulfilled with a high probability.
"Son..."
At this moment, Liu Zhaoqing heard a voice coming from the side. He turned his head and saw Lv Hong in a light-colored long dress.
"Why is Hong'er here so late? It's windy outside." Liu Zhaoqing quickly asked her to come into the house.
But Lu Hong shook her head, then looked at Liu Zhaoqing with obvious worry in her eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Zhaoqing also understood that she was worried about him.
This time, he would definitely go north with him. Liu Zhaoqing knew the dangers involved, and the people around him knew it too.
Smiling, Liu Zhaoqing comforted her, "Don't worry, Hong'er. This trip is not dangerous. We are going to get something good, not to fight."
Although this sentence was just a consolation, Lu Hong nodded slightly after hearing it.
She knew that she couldn't change Liu Zhaoqing's mind, nor should she try to change it.
This matter, which would have a major impact on Zhaoqing and the entire Changping, was something that Lu Hong had already heard from his wife and Baoer.
"Sir, please be careful..." Lv Hong lowered her head: "Hong'er is at home...waiting for you to come back."
After saying this, Lu Hong left quickly as if out of shyness.
Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled, and then thought that Hong'er seemed to have something else to say?
After returning to the bedroom, Liu Zhaoqing also talked to Zhang Jiao about his meeting with Liu Yu today.
Although Zhang Jiao did not express her concern as directly as Lu Hong, she repeatedly reminded Liu Zhaoqing to come back immediately if he encountered insurmountable danger or obstacles.
Zhang Jiao supports Liu Zhaoqing's efforts to expand his power, which is what she has always been doing.
But she also didn't want Liu Zhaoqing to get hurt.
Liu Zhaoqing also hurried to comfort him, saying that he had books and a number of good things to protect himself, especially with "Heavenly Guards" like Zhao Yun, so he didn't need to worry too much.
Moreover, after Liu Zhaoqing made a few words of assurance, he stopped talking and discussed with Zhang Jiao not to discuss this topic anymore.
He always felt that this kind of "pre-war guarantee" was like raising various flags, which was weird.
-
The next morning, Liu Zhaoqing woke up and kissed Zhang Jiao on the forehead.
Then, under his dim gaze, Liu Zhaoqing put on his armor and cloak, took the water-proof sword and walked out the door.
When he saw Baoer, Zhou Cang and others in the mansion, he smiled and nodded in response to their worried expressions.
Soon Liu Zhaoqing walked through the deserted streets and arrived at the city gate.
Zhao Yun in silver armor riding a white horse was waiting for him, and beside him was Guo Jia.
Guo Jia still got up very early just to see Liu Zhaoqing off.
"Fengxiao, Zilong." Liu Zhaoqing rode his horse in front of the two of them.
"Young Master." Zhao Yun immediately responded with a bow.
"Why don't I see Zhang Liao and the soldiers?" Liu Zhaoqing asked puzzledly after looking around.
"They are waiting for the lord outside the city gate." Guo Jia said with a smile.
Compared to Liu Zhaoqing who gets up early, this group of people get up even earlier.
Especially Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, both of them hardly slept last night, not because of sadness, but because of excitement.
But both of them were able to suppress their emotions well, so Liu Zhaoqing didn't notice it for a while.
Afterwards, Guo Jia bowed to Liu Zhaoqing and reminded him again: "Although this journey is important to us, I hope you will not forget the principles we talked about last night."
"Of all the resources, money, horses, and even land, people are the most important. Remember to prioritize preserving yourself and your team."
If Liu Zhaoqing got seriously injured while going to get money and horses and look for Liu He, it would definitely be a loss, and it would be a result that no one around Liu Zhaoqing wanted to see.
Liu Zhaoqing was naturally very clear about this.
She immediately nodded and agreed to Guo Jia, and asked her to take care of her health.
Then, Liu Zhaoqing and Zhao Yun rode their horses to the door together.
As expected, I saw three neatly arranged armored cavalrymen.
These cavalrymen, who belonged only to him, were all strong and powerful, with bright eyes and expressions that could not conceal their excitement.
At first glance, they were elite soldiers trained and carefully selected by Zhang Liao, and they definitely possessed the strength that one man could defeat three ordinary cavalrymen.
Seeing his own cavalry, which was so powerful and well-equipped, Liu Zhaoqing couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.
At the same time, he also found that the cavalrymen all had a yellow silk tied on their shoulders, which was undoubtedly to highlight their identity as "Yellow Turbans".
"Good! Very good!" Liu Zhaoqing exclaimed.
"These are the cornerstones of the Yellow Turbans, the soldiers of our own forces. I didn't expect Wenyuan to have such a talent for training."
Zhang Liao came to Liu Zhaoqing from the team, smiled shyly, and then bowed to him: "My benefactor, please give the order."
Liu Zhaoqing, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao came to the front of the team and looked at the cavalry group of less than 40 people after a moment of silence.
He didn't say any nonsense, he just drew his sword and shouted:
"Follow me north to slay the barbarians and establish a great cause. Today is the day!"
"Today!!"
The cavalrymen raised their halberds and shouted.
When Liu Zhaoqing was about to set off, a ferocious beast carrying a young girl jumped over from a distance.
"Yo Yo? And...Zhen Mi?"
Liu Zhaoqing was surprised.
It was not surprising that Yoyo came, but it was a bit beyond Liu Zhaoqing's expectation that Zhen Mi dared to follow.
Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun also paused when they saw this.
