"Governor Huo, I heard that you are short of war horses now?"

On the official road from Laizhou to Dengzhou, Li Wenzhong asked Huo Cun casually.

Although Zhang Chan, Li Wenzhong and others decided to persuade Wang Shifan and put it into practice, in order to be conservative, Zhang Chan still ordered Li Wenzhong and Huo Cun to lead an army of 20,000 to Dengzhou to put pressure on Wang Shifan.

Zhang Chan himself is in charge of Laizhou.

Of course, Li Wenzhong was led by Li Wenzhong, and brought 10,000 piaolu army and 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers; Huo Cun was assisted by him, and brought 5,000 Qizhou soldiers.

Huo Cun was shocked, and his hand, holding the reins, exerted a little force, but said with a smile on his face, "General Li's news is very informative. I don't see the power of the imperial cavalry. Huo just wanted to form a personal soldier, intending to make it into a cavalry and show off his might, but he did not expect it to attract General Li's attention."

"But Li Mouguan the war horses under General Huo are indeed not very good."

Looking at Huo Cunbu's war horse, who was reluctant to even be considered a second-class war horse in the imperial guards, he felt a little disdainful.

As the court basically recovered Hexi and after Longyou, the court had no shortage of war horses.

According to the request of the emperor, Taipu Temple divided war horses into second-class war horses, first-class war horses and superior war horses.

The combat troops of the imperial guards are generally first-class war horses, while the superior war horses are equipped with a very small number of elite troops, such as some cavalry of the left and right Tiance Army and the left and right Shence Army, or left and right gate guards and Shenji Battalions, as well as equipped heavy cavalry.

The second-class war horses are not used as mounts of the imperial guards, but are equipped for imperial guards to cooperate with infantry.

Of course, local state soldiers are basically second-class war horses.

However, the imperial court is unable to equip every imperial guard with war horses, so it is not that extravagant, and only a few imperial guards' infantry are equipped with war horses for transportation.

Many pastures in Longyou and Hexi were established, and the imperial court's horse breeding system was gradually restored, and they all had their own set of standards.

Just like the six thousand war horses allocated to the Pinglu army by the court, including two thousand first-class war horses and four thousand second-class war horses. In addition to two thousand second-class war horses, the other four thousand war horses were all under Li Wenzhong's command. The two wing commanders he brought formed two cavalry units.

Of course, the black war horse under Li Wenzhong's crotch is not an ordinary horse, but a wild horse king.

Originally, Li Si, the governor of Xiasuijie, respectfully presented it to Li Ye, but when Li Wenzhong came to Ziqing, Li Ye gave it to him.

Seeing Li Wenzhong's war horse under his crotch is tall and mighty, his limbs are strong and powerful, and his black hair makes Huo Cun envious.

You should know that even among the several armies under Zhu Wen, the number of cavalry is not large, only 30,000 to 40,000. This is the number that has only expanded after Li Keyong was wiped out in the past two years, and it was even smaller before.

Moreover, the quality of the 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry of Zhu Wen is somewhat uneven. After all, there is no horse produced in the Central Plains. The war horses of the cavalry in Zhu Wen were purchased in small batches from Guanzhong, Longyou, Hedong, Lulong, Chengde and other places, and the unity cannot be guaranteed.

However, just these cavalry can allow Zhu Wen to gallop across the Central Plains and punch all directions.

"Mr. Huo is not like General Li's Shengjuan Zhenglong. He is a newcomer and surrendered, so he is naturally discriminated against." Huo Cun said mockingly.

"Governor Huo was joking. As long as Governor Huo is loyal to the court and to the emperor, let alone a little war horse, it is not impossible to command thousands of troops to gallop on the battlefield in the future.

Li can't help you with first-class war horses, but the second-class war horses can still help you contact. After all, in Hedong, some places are also eliminating the original war horses. Although they are not as good as the war horses used by the imperial guards, they are much better than the inferior horses that governor Huo bought in Henghai!" Li Wenzhong said with a smile.

"real?"

When Huo Cun heard this news, he was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, things turned around. If he could get a war horse from Li Wenzhong, it would be better than finding a relationship with Henghai.

"That's natural. But it won't work now. I have to wait until Wang Shifan is pacified!" Li Wenzhong said with a smile.

Li Wenzhong did not lie, the imperial guards and local garrisons in Hedong were eliminating the old and weak war horses.

These war horses are usually sold to horse dealers to deal with.

Although these war horses are all war horses of the old and weak, it is for the imperial guards, but for the vassal states that lack war horses, it is extremely valuable.

However, due to the separatist rule of the feudal states, ordinary horse dealers could not sell their war horses to places where war horses were short, but Li Wenzhong had a solution.

It just depends on what the cost Huo Cun can spend later. If he can't attract him, he wouldn't have done such a troublesome thing.

Selling these eliminated war horses is not illegal, but it depends on what to say.

After all, not all of the war horses seized in the previous surprise attack on the Uighurs in Ganzhou were sold to Taipu Temple or the Ministry of War.

Most of them were bought by some wealthy families in Shu, and many of them were also wandering to the Central Plains.

"Governor, is this Li surnamed cheating? He is so kind to make war horses for us?" Zhang Guiba came closer with some confusion.

Huo Cun looked at Li Wenzhong in the distance and frowned slightly, "It's not easy to say, but if he really could get a war horse, no matter whether he was cheating."

To be honest, Huo Cun couldn't tell what Li Wenzhong was thinking, deliberately cheating them, or?

......

"Cousin, the court really said that as long as we, Wang, will we stop holding us Wang's accountable?"

Looking at Wang Shimiao, who came to persuade him to surrender this time, Wang Shifan looked complicated, but after hesitating for a while, he still wanted to ask about the specific situation.

Although there are 40,000 private soldiers in Dengzhou today, except for the ten thousand soldiers they brought, the rest cannot be counted on.

Even Yabing was a little restless, and under this situation, Wang Shifan didn't dare to gamble.

After all, he was only in his teenage years, so he had never experienced such a thing.

"That's what Li Wenzhong said. He is a member of the Li Tang royal family and there is no falsehood. It's just that most of our Wang clan may have to move to Chang'an, so Ziqing shouldn't be able to stay here." Wang Shimiao said.

"Jingshuai, no. If Jishuai goes to Chang'an, it will really become the fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered!"

Among the generals below, there are many loyalists from the Wang clan. Are there still fewer things to settle accounts after the autumn? Especially the king of a country.

Do you really think that the throne of the lord in Chang'an came for nothing?

A prince who had experienced Huang Chao's capture of Chang'an and had no power eliminated Tian Lingzi, Zhu Mei, Yang Fugong, Li Keyong and others one after another. Even the throne was taken from his brother. Will such a person be Yiyou?

Wang Shifan looked at Wang Shimiao who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at the Wang clan and his loyal subordinates around him, stood up and helped Wang Shimiao up.

"After this matter, I decided to go to Qingzhou in person to ask Cui Anqian for surrender!"
