Chapter 20 Ambition

Liu Xiang came from that peaceful country, which shaped his outlook on life and taught him a truth:

"People have the right to live; people have to live with dignity."

When he came to the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, he saw and heard too many things that were inconsistent with his three views.

However, he was alone and had already tried his best to survive, so he could only endure it.

Until he gained some strength, until he no longer had to worry about survival, the rebellious spirit in his bones naturally emerged.

He wants to do something.

I don’t know what the outcome will be, I don’t know how far it will go, and I don’t know when it will stop.

He didn't know what kind of mess the Han Dynasty would turn him into. At least, he still had the energy to do something now.

Liu Xiang smiled mockingly and said to herself: "My heart is so big. I'm not sure whether I can survive. I just got some strength and then I drifted off. I want to resist the world? It's so childish. How could it be possible?"

What about such a naive idea?

I have to say, this... is my nature. I am not a peaceful person.

It's good, at least for now, I'm still me.

What will the Han Dynasty do to me in the future?

bring it on,

I am looking forward,

How did you change me."

Liu Xiang laughed happily, hiding in the tent like a madman, laughing out loud.

In the next few days, there was an undercurrent in the camp.

Cui Yi went around to recruit people.

Liu Xiang asked Zhang Hu to spread the news throughout the camp about the tithe order, and all the soldiers in the county hated the prefect Zhang Ju.

Several Taiping Taoists who were potential county soldiers also fell ill and died.

Liu Xiang visited Yan Rou again.

It may be that Liu Xiang's reputation is growing, or it may be that Yan Rou wants to take a chance on her future.

Yan Rou was secretly sent out of the camp, and it was agreed that she would bring Hu Qi back before the end of the month.

Liu Xiang built several large tents next to his tent, summoned twenty-six soldiers, including two boys who made fires, two boys who purified water, twelve strong men and ten men on duty, and started making soap.

It could produce three hundred yuan a day, and after twelve days it was finally distributed to the entire camp.

There were a lot of jokes when the soap was distributed. Although the usage was taught in advance, many people still stubbornly believed that the Anti-Blague Pill was a pill and the pill was for eating, so many people experienced nausea.

A person who foams at the mouth.

Fortunately, it is homemade soap. Although it is not delicious, it is not toxic.

Because he was weak and fainted, Liu Xiang began to exercise every day, practicing riding and archery.

By the way, the accessories have been updated for each cavalry.

Double stirrups are installed to improve the stability of riding.

A goose wing ring is installed on the outside of the double stirrups, into which the handle of the spear can be inserted. A hemp rope is tied to the rear end of the spear as a strap, so that the cavalry can ride a horse with the spear on its back, which not only saves energy during marching, but also

Ability to free both hands to hold a bow and shoot arrows during combat.

Install a victory hook on the armored leather belt on the cavalry's waist to facilitate hanging swords, water bottles and enemy heads.

I originally wanted to install horseshoes on the war horses, but unfortunately there was not enough iron material, so I had to wait until later.

I also want to equip horse armor. After all, both men and horses wear armor, which is the peak combat power of heavy cavalry. But I can only think about it, horse armor costs too much steel, and I can’t afford to equip it now.

I talked to Cui Yi about this idea, but Cui Yi was indifferent. He thought it was too expensive and he probably wouldn't be able to realize it in this life.

But Liu Xiang still pulled him and talked about his ideas about armor and riding equipment. For example, a man would wear fifty kilograms of iron armor, and a horse would wear seventy kilograms of armor. Each horse would be equipped with a spear, a ring-headed sword, and a bow.

, thirty arrows.

You can also equip throwing spears, meteor hammers, pumpkin war hammers, large axes, etc. according to different combat missions.

Liu Xiang thought that he could also equip his DIY grenades and smoke bombs.

Cui Yi said helplessly: "My lord, the armored cavalry equipment is indeed powerful, but how much does it cost? According to my lord's opinion, each cavalryman exceeds the configuration of a lieutenant general in the army. It is really difficult to stop a group of generals charging into the formation, so that's it."

It has to be affordable.

Furthermore, as for the equipment my lord mentioned, it must be a good horse, as ordinary war horses cannot run.

I think that the legendary Dawan horse talent needs to be used. Dawan horses are probably only found in the imperial palace, but not in Youzhou."

Liu Xiang felt that Cui Yi was short-sighted. A hundred years later, armored cavalry equipment would appear on the stage of history and become the pinnacle of arms in the cold weapon era.

Liu Xiang has already opened the book and read the answer.

………

The days passed like this.

On March 25, all members of Jiaqi had recovered. Seventy-four people died from the plague, and 1,070 people recovered. Cui Yi recruited 700 people, and the remaining 370 people were imprisoned.

More than 400 county soldiers died, 1,200 people recovered, and 800 people are still ill. The good news is that these 800 people have passed the critical period.

Three hundred and seventy armored knights were imprisoned among the eight hundred patients. They had experienced the plague, were very honest, and were very hygienic.

The number of men Liu Xiang could control was 1,900. He supplemented this with 100 armored cavalry as his personal soldiers, and 600 armored cavalry formed the Xiaoqi battalion, commanded by Cui Yi.

Nine hundred county soldiers set up a military camp, and a military prince named Wang Xing was selected to lead it.

The remaining 300 county soldiers set up a middle camp, and Yang Qian was appointed as a military lord to take charge of the command.

Liu Xiang was waiting for Yan Rou to return, hoping that he could arrive before Deng Mao attacked the city.

On the 26th, the troops were organized and trained.

On the 27th, we continued to organize and train troops.

On the 28th, Yan Rou came and brought more than 500 Huqi, lurking at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain.

Liu Xiang was particularly happy that Yan Rou could bring his troops back, which meant that he had tied Yan Rou into his chariot.

When Yan Rou saw the soldiers and horses resuming training in the camp, she couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Liu Jun has completely cured the plague? Did the plague pass so quickly?"

Liu Xiang nodded and replied: "There are still more than a thousand patients in the camp, but they are about to recover."

Typhoid fever, a plague that wreaked havoc many times in the Han Dynasty, was introduced to the army by Liu Xiang and was eradicated by him himself. He was very fortunate that it did not spread on a large scale among the people.

Hu Qi, brought by Yan Rou, quietly entered the Yuyang camp at night without alerting others. Liu Xiang ambush another chess piece.

He didn't want to wait any longer, so he had to encourage Deng Mao to attack Yuyang County. There were only a thousand people in the city, and 500 of them were still in isolation.

Liu Xiang could capture the county seat on his own, but he wanted to drag Deng Mao into the chessboard and catch them all in one fell swoop. He wanted to capture both Yuyang and Deng Mao.

Liu Xiang could not forget that on the first day he came to Dahan, he was kidnapped by Deng Mao and carried into the Yellow Turban.

The Yellow Turban camp was in such chaos that at the age of sixteen, he did not have the courage to protect himself and gain Deng Mao's attention. He was afraid that he would die there.

In this way, he walked all the way without any choice, and faced death many times. He wanted Deng Mao's life and wanted to kill Deng Mao very, very much.

Now, as long as he drags Deng Mao into Yuyang County, he can close the door and completely cut off Deng Mao's way of survival.
