The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
A fast horse came from the north. The rider dismounted and came to Xun Mu's courtyard.
"Military Advisor, the Lord has ordered me to deliver a message!"
Xun Mu put down the porridge.
He glanced at the bamboo slips.
Military advisor, I have borrowed 2000 cavalry from brother Bo Gui. They are all veterans who have been to the battlefield. They will reach Qu County in 3 days!
"Two thousand cavalry, Gongsun Zan is really generous!”
Although Gongsun Zan had quite a number of cavalrymen, it was not to the extent that all of them were cavalrymen.
And now.
Although Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had stopped fighting on the surface, they were still plotting against each other.
To be able to lend Liu Bei 2,000 cavalrymen, and they were veterans who had been on the battlefield, it was enough to see Gongsun Zan's affection for Liu Bei, his classmate!
Why did Liu Bei want to borrow troops?
Wasn't it because the three thousand soldiers on the plains were all new recruits who had never experienced the battlefield?
Three thousand new soldiers might not be able to compare to Cao Cao's five hundred veterans.
But with these two thousand cavalrymen, it was different!
2,000 old soldiers and 3,000 new soldiers, coupled with Xun Mu's plan, were enough to pose a threat to Cao Cao's army!
A golden light flashed before his eyes.
Liu Bei and the cavalry appeared.
The messenger was Gongsun Zan's cavalry.
Although the information was basically not false, Xun Mu trusted the Dun Jia Heavenly Book more.
.....
Character: Liu Bei
[Faction: Liu Bei]
[Status 1: Brother Bogui is really loyal. He directly lent me 2,000 elite cavalrymen, and also borrowed Zhao Yun and Tian Yu to lead the troops. Such kindness, I will definitely repay it when I obtain Xuzhou!]
[Status 2: I wonder how the military counselor's arrangements are in Xuzhou!] Mm, send someone to inform the military counselor first!
[Status 3: The last time I saw Cao Cao and Tao Qian was at Tiger Cage Pass. I didn't expect that my former allies would become enemies. The world is really unpredictable!]
.....
Character: Zhang San
[Faction: Gongsun Zan]
[Status 1: I haven't been home for a long time. I don't know if my wife and children still have food and clothing. I don't have much military pay recently. Life is really hard!]
[Status 2: I really envy General Zhao. He became a general at such a young age.]
.....
Liu Bei's movements were basically no different from the message sent by the cavalry.
As for this knight Zhang San, his movements were very simple. He could be sure that he was not a fake.
"Xiao Qian, give this brother 500 coins and instruct the servants to prepare some food and wine. Make room for him to rest for a while.”
Gan Qian, who was standing beside Xun Mu, took out 550 baht without hesitation and handed it to Zhang San.
Zhang San was moved by Xun Mu's thoughtfulness and thanked him profusely.
"Not only is General Liu benevolent, I didn't expect that General Liu's military advisor would also take such good care of me.”
"If I can follow General Liu, my wife and children will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing, right?”
Cavalry Zhang San happily retreated, his admiration for Liu Bei growing even more!
Five hundred coins was already considered a very generous reward.
However, Xun Mu had a plan. In ancient times, there were thousands of gold coins to buy horse bones, so what was his 500 gold coins?
Although…
Liu Bei had borrowed these two thousand cavalrymen from Gongsun Zan!
But this didn't mean that Xun Mu would show mercy and not poach Gongsun Zan's men!
Gongsun Zan was loyal.
However, he was not cut out to be a lord.
Rather than letting these elite cavalry be killed or summoned by Yuan Shao's troops, it was better to let Liu Bei take advantage of it.
As for whether Gongsun Zan would be angry?
As long as there were enough benefits to be exchanged, Gongsun Zan would even agree to give Liu Bei another 2,000 cavalry, let alone 2,000!
As for the benefits.
Xun Mu looked at the map of Xuzhou on the table.
This map was drawn by Xun Mu using the Dun Jia Heavenly Book's Chadi.
The cities, official roads, mountains, and rivers of Xuzhou have been marked on the map.
There were also chess pieces with characters such as " Zhang Fei,"" Cao Cao,"" Xiahou Dun," and so on, which were placed on the map.
It was not difficult to make Gongsun Zan's 2,000 cavalry, including Zhao Yun and Tian Yu, stay in Xuzhou.
As long as Liu Bei was willing to give Gongsun Zan money and food, it would be enough!
Peiping is short of food.
Gongsun Zan was not on good terms with his father-in-law, Liu Yu, so it was difficult to gather rations.
With Liu Bei providing food, Gongsun Zan did not care about the two thousand cavalrymen, Zhao Yun, and Tian Yu.
Of course.
The premise was that Liu Bei could sit firmly in Xuzhou!
As long as Xun Mu was firmly in Xuzhou, he would be able to make the best use of everything, be it in internal affairs or diplomacy!
Resource integration.
For Xun Mu, who had lived two lives and had the help of the Divination Heavenly Book, it was not difficult to do.
He clapped his hands.
Xu Niu and Zheng Hu, who were on duty outside the house, jogged over.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Xu Niu and Zheng Hu were the sons of Taishi Ci's neighbors.
Niu Wa and Hu Wa.
One of them was as strong as a calf, while the other was smart. Xun Mu arranged for him to be his bodyguard.
The remaining two children were still in the house because they were too young.
"Niu Wa, tell Guan Hai to come and see me quickly!”
"Alright! Sir, wait a moment. I can run very fast!”
Xu Niu deliberately gave Zheng Hu a provocative look. His meaning was obvious.
I run fast, and Teacher values me the most!
Zheng Hu was so angry that he wanted to retort, but he was afraid that Xun Mu would blame him.
Xun Mu did not pay attention to the competition between the two naughty children. What was in front of him was Zhang Fei's movements.
Zhang Fei was in charge of investigating the military situation and had yet to send a reply.
But this was not a problem for Xun Mu.
As long as Xun Mu wanted to, Xun Mu could find anyone's movement!
