Chapter 506(1/2)
These flying horses are the foundation for Liu Yu to form a large number of cavalry in the future.
Judging from the strength of the northern nomadic strength in previous dynasties, as time goes by, whoever has the more heavy cavalry becomes more elite, will dominate the grassland.
Especially since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the climate of the northern grasslands has gradually become harsh, and a large number of barbarians have moved south to dependent on the area near the Great Wall.
It is precisely because of the farming supplies in these areas that the Xianbei people led by Murong, Duan tribe and Tuoba are becoming stronger and stronger.
What Liu Yu needs most now is to completely compete with these Xianbei people's cavalry.
The skill of riding and shooting requires the skill that has been practiced since childhood. For most Han people in the Central Plains, it is more suitable for combat with formation charge.
In this way, the advantages of cavalry equipment and weapons can be greatly exerted.
With the improvement of these Western Regions horses, the impact and speed of the Han cavalry will be completely unafraid of the Xianbei people.
"Now Tuoba Pugen has been struggling with tens of thousands of troops in Yinshan, including Jiankun, Dingling and other troops. If they want to invade Daizhou, the enemy cavalry is unrestrained. Relying on Qianghu and Suotou alone may not be able to capture Tuoba Pugen."
Yuwen Zhao raised his beautiful eyebrows and said loudly to Liu Yu.
"Oh, then what do you want to do?" Liu Yu looked at her with interest.
"Why can't my father send troops to help the battle against Tuoba Pugen?" Yuwen Zhao said.
Liu Yu was a little unexpected when he heard this.
The Tuoba tribe and Yuwen tribe have been in-laws for generations, and the kinship relationship between each other has been formed for hundreds of years.
It would be okay to ask Yuwen Xianbei to help check and balance the Murong tribe in Youzhou. If Yuwen Xianbei was asked to send troops to attack Tuoba Xianbei, Liu Yu would be worried at all.
"Aren't Tuoba and Yuwen in-laws for generations? If they attack Tuoba's tribe, will your tribe members be willing to send troops?" Liu Yu asked suspiciously.
After hearing this, Yuwen Zhao immediately laughed.
"Your Majesty, you may not know that there are many in-laws in the tribes on this grassland, but when you encounter robbing the grassland and Dingkou, no one will pay attention to any relatives."
When Liu Yu thought about it, he also felt it made sense.
Not to mention the nomadic tribes on the grassland with harsh living environments, even the aristocratic families who are pampered in the Central Plains will still fight to the death once they encounter power struggles.
"The people from the Tuoba tribe are fierce and fierce. Are the people from the Yuwen tribe willing to fight to the death?" Liu Yu said with some doubts.
Nowadays, the life of the Yuwen Xianbei is very comfortable. Not only dominate the eastern grasslands, but also the Han army has continuously replenished commercial supplies from Youzhou. In addition, with the Duan Xianbei, the Duan Xianbei has firmly suppressed the Murong Xianbei in Liaodong and cannot move.
The Murong Xianbei, who was determined to seek strength, had to turn eastward and constantly attack Goguryeo after he gained the power of the Dongyi Captain Cui Liyan.
Based on the principle that the East is not bright, the West is bright, Goguryeo's wool has been pulled out of alopecia areata.
Under such circumstances, Liu Yu really doubted the combat effectiveness of the Yuwen Department.
After all, these nomadic tribes have a very fast corruption and depravity.
It’s more about fighting skills, but psychologically.
"Your Majesty may not know yet. Now the noble leaders of the Yuwen Department have moved into the city. Although there are good days that have never been seen before, not everyone can do this."
I just heard Yuwen Zhao continue to say.
"There are only a few cities, and everyone wants to be the best. The Murong tribe will not be able to destroy it for a while. I can only go to the Tuoba tribe in the west to find it."
Liu Yu immediately understood what Yuwen Zhao meant.
Now the strength of Yuwen Department has increased significantly. Although some people are already satisfied with the status quo, more people are already jealous.
You must find a place to promote them and make money.
"The territory of the Tuoba tribe is vast. If it is occupied by your father again, it may not be a good thing."
Liu Yu's face couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
Yuwen Zhao said this, which made him doubt Yuwen Mogui's ambitions.
Although Yuwen Mogui doesn't seem to have a strong and magnanimous demeanor, no one can control the ambition.
"Your Majesty misunderstood. If we asked our Yuwen team to send troops, even the territory occupied would not be given to my father." Yuwen Zhao suddenly laughed.
"Who will give it to?" Liu Yu asked.
Yuwen Zhao raised his pretty face and said proudly.
"Of course it's for me!"
"Give it to you?" Liu Yu didn't expect this.
"Yes, it's just for me. Before I got married, there were three thousand tribes. Although they were all handed over to my father, they were still mine." Yuwen Zhao said.
"Well, it's not bad, this can be considered your dowry." Liu Yu began to think about it in his heart.
"Your Majesty, if I have a son in the future, I can let him inherit these tribes and land. At that time, the emperors of the Central Plains and the vassal kings of the grassland are brothers. Are you afraid of any border problems?"
Yuwen Zhao said with a proud look on his face.
This wild girl from the Xianbei tribe has fully understood her status and strength after more than a year of court life.
Although she is favored by Liu Yu, her background is already destined to be difficult for her children to have a high status.
As for the future inheritance of the throne, it is even more daring to think about it.
Not to mention that the Crown Prince Liu Zhi is not only the eldest son of the legitimate son, but his grandfather was born in Taiyuan Wang family, and his destiny was not a child born by Xianbei women.
Therefore, Yuwen Zhao has begun to plan for his future.
"I hope so."
Liu Yu said with a smile.
He heard this, but he was extremely disagreeable.
The so-called butt determines the head. If anyone sits on the seat of the Lord of the Grassland, he has to plan for the power under his butt.
All fathers, sons and brothers have to stand aside.
"You can give it a try. If you can really pull out troops from Yuwen's department, then I will be sure."
Although Liu Yu didn't believe in the future, it seemed to be a good idea for this time.
"Great! Your Majesty, don't worry, I will write a letter to my father, and I will get at least 30,000 soldiers and horses to help me. After I eliminate Tuobapugen, I will keep them all."
Obviously, Yuwen Zhao has already planned how to cheat his father.
The cake of Yuwen’s ministry is almost at its limit. If these tribes follow the new owner, they will receive even more rewards. At that time, even if Yuwen Mogui asks for troops, they will not want to go back.
"Write another letter to Wang Chang, and those tribes will let him take them as commander, and first gather in Daizhou, and let Ran Long command the command in unification, and do not act at will." Liu Yu immediately instructed.
"Ran Long? But I still want to go to command the command myself!" Yu Wen Zhao looked at Liu Yu with some resentment.
Liu Yu couldn't help but smiled a little angry.
Yuwen Zhao, after reading a few military books, actually wanted to return to the grassland to be the "Shanyu". It was so naive.
"How can you do this kind of thing?"
"At most, after occupying the old Tuoba land in the future, I will go there for a tour."
Liu Yu pinched Yuwen Zhao's red cheeks.
"Then what can I do when I am in Yecheng hundreds of miles away?" Yuwen Zhao said angrily.
Seeing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smirk.
"There is a certainty to eliminate Tuoba Pugen, and leave it to Ran Long and Wang Chang. You have something more important."
"What is more important?" Yu Wen Zhao looked curious.
"In the near future, there will be all the territorial tribes, so it's still a lack of a son to inherit."
As soon as Yuwen Zhao heard this in his ear, he felt a pair of hot and salty hands touching his waist.

Jiangdong, Jiankang.
Inside the Dajin Palace.
Emperor Sima Rui was sitting in front of the table with a sad face.
The content of a memorial on the table made Sima Rui angry, but he didn't dare to show it at all on his face.
"Your Majesty, Tao Kan is proud of his merits and has many illegal acts in Jiangzhou. Although he has made some contributions to the elimination of bandits this time, he must be clear about rewards and punishments."
Wang Dao, the minister of the Grand Jin Dynasty, was whispering to the side.
"Tao Kan has a humble background. If he says others are domineering and arrogant, he believes that if he says he is proud of his achievements, there are many illegal things in Jiangzhou. Could it be that he regards His Majesty as a foolish king?"
As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, Liu Wei, the attendant next to him, said angrily.
"This incident has already happened. Besides, what's the use of these right and wrong?"
Seeing Liu Wei's angry look, Diao Xie leaned against him and pulled Liu Wei's sleeves and asked him to restrain himself.
"If there is any doubt in Jiangzhou, your Majesty will decide." Director Wang was a little embarrassed.
In this matter, several people in the hall looked at Emperor Sima Rui.
Seeing this, Emperor Sima Rui had to cheer up and said.
