Chapter 1176: Untitled

"Bastards!"

"Just a few small fry, this General can deal with them at will; why do you need to defend this General?"

Lv Bu heard this, his eyes condensed, and he immediately shouted sternly.

Lv Bu's majesty was deeply rooted in people's hearts; seeing Lv Bu a bit angry, even Lv Hao felt a tightness in his heart.

"Get out of here quickly; this General doesn't take those few small fry seriously; the key is the Xianbei army; if they come, you won't be able to leave."

"Don't tell me you want this General to lead you to break out of the encirclement?"

"It seems that this time, the Xianbei calculated it well, just waiting for this General to fall into the net; the Xianbei are truly painstaking."

"However, it seems there are spies in Jiuyuan; this time when we go back, Lv Hao, clean them up properly for me."

Lv Bu's tone was a bit cold.

Being calculated by the grassland Xianbei, he was naturally unhappy; to deal with him, they dispatched six powerhouses at the Spirit Refining realm, and one of them even gave him a feeling that something was wrong.

But he was still not afraid.

Who was he? He was called the God of War of Bingzhou in Jiuyuan; his cultivation had reached the peak of Spirit Refining; even an immortal, he dared to fight.

"But..."

Lv Hao still wanted to say something.

"Shut up! Do you dare not to listen to this General's words?"

"Remember, you must bring them all back intact."

Lv Bu's eyes were solemn, and he looked at Lv Hao with a sharp expression.

"Your task is not simple; this time, since it is the Xianbei's calculation, I'm afraid they not only want to finish me off, but also want to eat up this elite cavalry of ours."

This cavalry had only two thousand people, but they had followed him through dozens of battles, large and small; every soldier was a hundred-battle veteran, the elite of the elites.

It could be said that the most elite cavalry in Jiuyuan Commandery was in his hands.

The Jiuyuan Commandery cavalry had eight thousand, but in reality, the strongest were the two thousand in his hands; once these two thousand were lost, it would truly be a bone-deep injury, and wanting to build such cavalry elites would also take twenty years.

So now that he knew the Xianbei's calculation, Lv Bu naturally would not allow his cavalry to have any losses.

After all, to build this cavalry, he had also spent a lot of effort.

Cavalry was not like other infantry; building them was extremely slow, and the resources consumed were also more; their Lv clan was not a family with a long inheritance.

The foundation was too shallow; this cavalry also consumed most of their family's wealth; after all, raising cavalry was simply too expensive.

The reason why he took troops to the grassland for no reason was not just for revenge, but also to plunder the wealth of the grassland.

After all, these cattle, sheep, and warhorses were all wealth, which could support him in raising soldiers.

Their family, relying solely on those fields, could not support so many cavalry; as for the imperial court, the imperial court simply did not care about the border.

Their troops, the imperial court had never spent a single large coin.

So toward the imperial court, Lv Bu did not have a trace of loyalty; after all, they had not received any benefits from the imperial court.

When the grassland aliens moved south, they all relied on themselves to resist.

Their Lv clan, if it weren't for his grandfather and great-grandfather, who were determined to join the army and open up a path of promotion for the family, then their Lv clan would be like ordinary common people, facing those grassland aliens, only able to hope that the armies of various places could block them.

From a young age, Lv Bu was clear that he wanted to control his own destiny, wanted to master a powerful army; only in this way could he protect the people he wanted to protect.

"General, take care."

Hearing Lv Bu's such severe words, Lv Hao also understood the urgency of the situation, and he also knew how much the Lv family had paid for this cavalry.

If this cavalry were gone all at once, the blow to the Lv clan would not be small.

The reason why the Lv clan could become the number one force in Jiuyuan today, besides Lv Bu's martial strength, was also because they mastered this cavalry.

This cavalry could be said to be their Lv clan's private soldiers.

Of course, noble clans mastering private soldiers, in the Liu Han Dynasty, was not a fresh thing at all.

The noble clans of the Central Plains also had many private soldiers; of course, that was also in the dark, unlike in the border areas, where the noble clans here mastered private soldiers and already put them on the bright side.

Even the government would simply not care.

After all, the government still had to rely on these people to resist the grassland's attack.

When the grassland aliens entered the Liu Han Dynasty, the first target was always the government; in the eyes of the grassland aliens, the government was the most wealthy.

So the officials of these government offices could only rely on these local noble clans; as for counting on the imperial court, these officials were very clear that they could not count on it at all.

So in the border areas, private soldiers were prevalent; anyway, the combat effectiveness of the noble clans' private soldiers was the greatest guarantee; the local government's army, commandery soldiers, and county soldiers were many, but most were just making up the numbers.

Just like this commandery of Jiuyuan, the government's troops were tens of thousands, but they were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, while conversely, the armies formed by the major noble clans were quite elite, all hundred-battle veterans.

The Lv clan's troops were not many; besides these two thousand cavalry, which were the most capable and elite, there was also a three-thousand-strong heavy infantry.

Controlled by Lv Yi, that is, Lv Bu's father.

Of course, Lv Yi was currently the General of Bingzhou Jiuyuan, mastering tens of thousands of troops, more than half of which belonged to other noble clans of Jiuyuan.

Lv Yi's cultivation had reached the Golden Core; in Jiuyuan, there were few who could compare with him.

Lv Yi followed his father's career and had fought many battles in Jiuyuan, and his experience in leading troops was also very rich; although it could only be considered average, he was quite trusted by those noble clans in Jiuyuan.

After all, General Lv was steady, unlike Colonel Lv.

Lv Bu was courageous and invincible; this was recognized in Jiuyuan and even Bingzhou, but Lv Bu's fighting style was often also terrifying.

After all, facing an army of one hundred thousand, Lv Bu dared to lead two thousand troops to charge the array directly; in the eyes of outsiders, this was no different from seeking death.

Although every time, Lv Bu won, it still made people's hearts jump.

Therefore, Lv Yi was more popular in the eyes of the noble clans; being steady could minimize losses.

Those troops, after all, were partially owned by their noble clans; if they were lost, it was also a loss of their wealth.

No noble clan was willing to do so easily.

Of course, the bottom-level soldiers were naturally more willing to follow Lv Bu, because following him meant having food, and having a lot of food.

The world is bustling for profit; the little soldiers did not have any great righteousness; they knew that following Colonel Lv meant having food, and having a lot of food.

Lv Hao left, taking two thousand cavalry and many warhorses and leaving quickly; as for those captives and cattle and sheep, they could only be abandoned.

But fortunately, this time there were more than five thousand warhorses, which could be considered a harvest that was not small.

After all, the price of warhorses was much more expensive than cattle and sheep.
