Liu Ye listened very seriously, but at this moment he pretended to be disapprovingly.

General Ma is loyal and rare to see the difference in military ordnance, but it is a bit generalized. Although it cannot be said that combat power has nothing to do with military ordnance, it cannot be purely determined by military ordnance, and it is related to both people and horses. The first priority is people. Among people, the first priority is generals. I heard that when Sun Ce first established cavalry, he mainly took the Guanzhong knights led by Qin Mu, and later the Xiliang knights led by Yan Xing, and later the Central Plains people were mainly people. Could it be that the cavalry ability of the Central Plains people is still above Liangliang? If we talk about horses, most of the war horses used by Sun Ce came from Youzhou and the small half came from Liangzhou, how can we compare with our army with Liangzhou horses? Among the three items, our army has two advantages, one is insufficient, and has both military strength advantages. How can we not win?

After Liu Ye finished speaking, he looked at Ma Chao and General Ma meaningfully. I think you are worried about not only the weapons, but also the generals, right? I know that you have fought with Yan Xing for several years, and although each has its own victory or defeat, you are slightly inferior. However, you are not facing Yan Xing alone, but also Marquis Wen and General Zhao. Not to mention anything else, Wen Yuan did not lose the upper hand in duel with Sun Ce back then, so the general doesn't have to worry.

Ma Chao suddenly turned red and shouted loudly: Why did you say this? Chao is better than Yan Xing to fight against Yan Xing?

Liu Ye pretended to be surprised. Why did Sun Ce leave Yan Xing but return by the general?

That was Ma Chao's speech was a moment when he was speechless. That was because Chao was determined to resign and King Sun Ce of Wu had to let go.

That's right? Liu Ye suddenly realized and bowed his hands repeatedly. It seemed that my information was wrong and I misunderstood General Ma. I was ashamed, ashamed.

Ma Chao was angry. When he heard Liu Ye’s voice was wrong, he immediately asked: Wait, what kind of information did you receive?

General Haiwen, because of the information, it is inevitable that there will be any mistakes. I apologize to General Ma.

How dare Chao blame Ling Jun? Ma Chao lowered his face. His Majesty said just now that since he is seeking victory in danger, he should be one with the king and his subjects, and work together. If Your Majesty listened to Ling Jun’s wrong information and doubted Chao’s loyalty, what else should he talk about as one with the king and his subjects? Ling Jun, please speak clearly in person to let my heart go.

The emperor also advised: Lingjun, Ma Qing is right. It is a misunderstanding, and it is better to say it out, so as not to leave any grudges, suspicion of each other, and to mislead major events, which will also bring shame to Ma Qing.

When Ma Chao heard the word "shamed", he became even more annoyed and thought to himself, could Sun Ce be angry that I would leave and deliberately arranged me? The emperor and Liu Ye knew that they were hiding it from me. No wonder he wanted to find Zhao Yunlai to lead the Yulin Cavalry with me. He urged Liu Ye to speak quickly. Liu Ye shirked for a while, then pretended to be unfair and told the truth about the information he received.

The information was originally heard of, and it was mixed with the truth and falsehood. Liu Ye had to solve Ma Chao's fence, so he naturally had to put some strong medicine. Even if there was a flaw in the future, he would not hesitate to cover Ma Chao first. This battle was a chance for the emperor to have few, and Ma Chao was indispensable, so he had to inspire him to do his best. He said the pre-prepared rhetoric one by one, which was reasonable, and Ma Chao had to believe it.

According to Liu Ye, Sun Ce always valued Yan Xing more. It was not that Yan Xing had resigned, but was kept by Sun Ce. In order to retain Yan Xing, Sun Ce cultivated Han Yin at all costs. During Guandu, he asked Han Yin to fight in the end. He originally wanted Han Yin to pick up some credit and give him a generous gift so that Han Yin had enough strength to return to Liangzhou and steadily suppress the Ma family in exchange for Han Sui to give up Yan Xing. Unfortunately, there was a mistake in the middle. Han Yin died in Guandu, and Sun Ce had to pay a lot of money to appease Han Sui. In contrast, when Ma Chao left Sun Ce, Sun Ce did not give them any benefits, but instead forced Ma Chao to marry his sister to Pang De.

By the way, I heard that Sun Ce valued Yan Xing because he had outstanding features in cavalry warfare and wrote the history of cavalry warfare at Sun Ce's order. I heard that Taishi Ci defeated the Xianbei people in the northern border, and used the cavalry tactics summarized by Yan Xing, and even the armored cavalry was the first to advocate. Is there such a thing?

Liu Ye said it was true and false, but Ma Chao became more and more serious as he listened. He was already worried about Sun Ce's refusal to give him a discount price, but now he has become 70% or 80% of the rumors. When he heard about the cavalry war history, he was so angry that he finally got a little rationality.

It turns out that Yan Xing is so clever, I underestimated him. Ma Chao turned around and looked at the emperor, bowed his hand, and shouted: Your Majesty, I am not talented, I dare to ask the leader to be the pioneer, defeat Yan Xing for Your Majesty, and compete with you.

Ma Qing, during the war, don’t act voluntarily. If there is any loss, it’s a pity. Let’s sit down and talk.

Ma Chao was angry. Your Majesty also thought that his ministers were not as good as Yan Xing?

Somehow, Lu Bu suddenly woke up. Seeing Ma Chao shouting at the emperor, he jumped up subconsciously and shouted: Daring horses, dare to be arrogant in front of His Majesty? Before he finished speaking, his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife. He was one of the top of Ma Chao and had many battles with Ma Chao, most of whom were the ones that Ma Chao was quite afraid of. He was angry at this moment and was even more powerful.

Ma Chao was shocked and suddenly felt fear in his heart. He took a step back and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, causing a cold sweat. Then he realized that he was rude in front of the emperor, so he quickly bowed and apologized to the emperor.

The emperor was in his heart, helped Ma Chao up, comforted him with kind words, and asked Ma Chao for advice. Ma Chao had already regarded Yan Xing as an imaginary enemy at this moment, and even Sun Ce became an opponent. Naturally, he knew everything and said everything. The emperor and Liu Ye gained a lot, and Zhao Yun and others felt that they benefited a lot, and at the same time they were under great pressure.

If what Ma Chao said is true, then the six or seven thousand cavalry led by Yan Xing and Chen Dao are really not easy to deal with. Not only that, they also need to consider a question: Ma Chao has been away from Sun Ce for several years, and what he knows may not be accurate. For example, Ma Chao is not very clear about the number of armored cavalry. Judging from Sun Ce's development over the years, Yan Xing's strength may be stronger. The most typical example is Taishi Ci's record in Liaodong.

The emperor felt more and more afraid. If Liu Ye hadn't used tricks to motivate Ma Chao to tell the details he knew, he would have used common sense to speculate that Yan Xing's strength had a great error and had a hasty fight, and his chances of winning were very slim. Not to mention reversing the situation, even whether he could escape unscathed was a problem.

Liu Ye also felt it was a bit tricky. Although he didn't show any expression, he was really nervous. However, it was still beneficial to dispel the emperor's idea of ​​underestimating the enemy. He calmed down and brought the topic back to Zhao Yun's two issues.

General Ma’s worries are the same as General Zhao’s first problem, and they are the differences in combat power between the two sides. These 6,000 cavalry are not only the opponents we have to face, but also an opportunity. If we can win it, it will not only inspire morale, but also take its weapons for us to use it and enhance our combat power. You are all masters of cavalry warfare, and I hope you will give advice and defeat the powerful enemy together.

Lu Bu and others agreed one after another. First, they should not be careless in the face of life and death; second, they should not give up in the face of heavy rewards. When they think of the six or seven thousand sets of weapons, especially the unknown amount of armored cavalry equipment, even Dong Yue was a little ready to move.

Liu Ye waited for a while, and after everyone calmed down, he continued to say: How to fight to win? Please consider it first and then communicate. Now I will answer General Zhao’s second question: how to solve the problem of food and grass.

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Ye sighed. To be honest, this problem cannot be solved.

Can't solve it? Dong Yue, who had not spoken, cried out in a flash. Hearing his voice, Lu Bu and Ma Chao noticed that there was another person next to him, and turned to look over. Dong Yue was panicked and almost fell off Hu's post. He hurriedly said: Then what are the measures to deal with Lingjun?

Lu Bu and Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Liu Ye, and he was also a little anxious. If this problem cannot be solved, then why should I beat him? People can stop eating one meal or two, so they will not starve to death, but horses cannot stop eating one meal. Not only do they need to eat, but also require ingredients, otherwise the horsepower will be insufficient, let alone running, even walking will be a problem.

Liu Ye waited for a while before saying: The problem of food and grass is indeed difficult to solve, but it is not a solution.

Liu Ye said, looking at Lu Bu and Wen Hou, is the wine in Yanzhou delicious? Are the people in Yanzhou enthusiastic?

Lu Bu was worried when he suddenly heard this sentence, but he didn't react for a moment, and then he was embarrassed again and didn't know how to answer. Liu Ye continued: Do you know why people in Yanzhou are so enthusiastic?

Lu Bu barely reacted. Well, naturally, His Majesty came in person, and the people of Yanzhou welcomed the king's army.

Yes, the people of Yanzhou hate Sun Ce and are eagerly waiting for the king's army. Now that Your Majesty has arrived in person, the people of Yanzhou are excited. Sun Ce robbed the property of aristocratic families on the grounds of suppressing annexation. No matter rich or poor, as long as the land exceeds a certain amount, they will be taken away. The middle class or above is like destroying the family, so they will resolutely refuse to follow and resist to the death. However, Cao Ang Yuan Tan repeatedly defeated the people of Yanzhou, which disappointed the people of Yanzhou. Now that Your Majesty is here, there are famous generals like Wen Hou, so they took out the best wine to welcome the king's army. This is their last hope. As long as Your Majesty can win and let them keep the industry, they can offer the last grain of grain in their family for everyone to enjoy. Otherwise, once they fall into Sun Ce's hands, they will not only fail to protect these grains and fine wines, but will also lose all their money and have nothing.

Liu Ye raised his hand and counted one county after another. Finally, he said: To the north of Changyi of Dingtao, there are six counties in Jiyin, the north of Jiyin, and fifteen counties in Dongjun, totaling twenty-one counties. Not to mention, one county supplies our army with two days of food, and we can also support it for more than a month. But there is a premise, that is, you are united with Your Majesty and work together to move forward, you can only win, not lose. If you win, we will be able to fight stronger and stronger. Not only can we break the siege of Changyi of Dingtao, but we will also have the opportunity to attack Yuzhou, defeat Sun Ce, recover the Central Plains, and revive the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty is the lord of Zhongxing, and you will be famous ministers of Zhongxing and share wealth. If you lose, we will have nothing and may even die in Yanzhou.

After saying that, Liu Ye glanced at Lu Bu. Lu Bu understood and immediately stood up and fisted, and took the lead in expressing his opinion. I hope that only Your Majesty would follow his horse and would not move forward. I will defeat Sun Ce and revive the Han Dynasty.
