The plan was sent back to Chengdu Prefecture.

A day later, Li Yan received a message.

"How many soldiers and horses have Nanzhao sent out this time? Are they warships or horses?" When Li Yan heard the news that Nanzhao sent people to chase them, he had another idea.

Li Yan has already obtained more than 800 warships.

Li Yan doesn’t know if there is still some in Nanzhao, but I think there must be some more.

For example, the Nanzhao County is a boat ride, or something else.

For Li Yan now, Youdao is that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Shi Kuan replied: "Your Highness, according to the news, Nanzhao sent at least 5,000 troops to chase after him. It is impossible for them to have so many ships, so what they rode were horses."

"Oh? Five thousand horses, this is a big number. If you have the chance to chew him, it will be a chance." When Li Yan heard that the horse sent by Nanzhao was a horse, he felt a little moved again.

Five thousand horses.

This can form two cavalry regiments.

Although there are horses in Xichuan, the number is pitifully small, with only one thousand horses and less than two thousand horses.

After hearing Li Yan's words, Shi Kuan nodded, "Your Highness, why don't you let me meet them this time? It just so happens that our Xichuan lacks war horses. If we can take down the five thousand horses in Nanzhao, then I have these horses in Xichuan. Even if the Tubo Kingdom dares to use force against me, Xichuan, we will dare to fight them."

"Then be careful, if things are not violated, remember to return immediately." Li Yan agreed to Shi Kuan's request.

After Shi Kuan got the order, he took a command handed to him by Li Yan and turned around and left.

Horses are something Li Yan urgently needs.

When attacking Nanzhao in the future, horses are the top priority.

Although Nanzhao is not large, if there were no horses, as last time, it would be exhausting to attack Nanzhao with two legs.

Li Yan has been to Nanzhao once, but he doesn't want to go there again with his legs.

Too bitter.

Nanzhao is also in the deep mountains and forests, and it is extremely difficult to walk.

If there are horses, at least people will be better.

and.

Li Yan even knew that the war was an information war.

But at the same time, after various information gathers, the battle is a quick battle.

Whoever has the fastest speed will seize the initiative.

Mobility has become the most basic thing to do in fast battles.

If Li Yan formed two cavalry regiments, Li Yan of Tubo would no longer be afraid.

Shi Kuan left with several personal guards and rushed towards the Lu River.

Half an hour later, Shi Kuan and others arrived at the edge of Lushui, "Appoint the Second Tiger Army Regiment to cross the Lushui River and set off immediately."

After reading the order sent to him by Shi Kuan, he happily issued preparation instructions without saying a word.

Not much preparation.

But if you have to cross the Shanghai River to Nanzhao, it means that Xichuan is still fighting against Nanzhao.

But the Second Tiger Army Regiment, who was left to the command, had no doubts. They only knew how to execute orders.

Even, they were more eager to fight to earn military merits for themselves.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Tiger Army had few military achievements.

It is less pitiful than the Tiger Army or the Wolf Army.

During this period, while everyone was reciting and training, some voices about military merits were heard by the soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Tiger Army.

so.

This naturally made all the soldiers of the Second Tiger Army Regiment hope to have a big battle so that others would not underestimate their Second Tiger Army Regiment too much.

Even if the leader lets the situation go.

This is to let the order be issued without saying a word after receiving the order.

"Guard Shi, does Your Highness want to bring all these war horses?" Letting you express your joy and talking to Shi Kuan.

The meaning of Shi Kuan's words is that he cannot hurt the horse.

No matter how hard you hear it, you can naturally guess that Li Yan is looking for a horse.

Shi Kuan nodded, "You also know that I don't have many horses in Xichuan. Although there are thousands of horses in total with other horses, there are less than two thousand horses that can be used. The rest are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or hairless. The court will not care about Xichuan, so Xichuan can only find a way out."

"Shi Shi Guard, do you know how many war horses he has in Nanzhao?" Ren You were also envious.

Seeing that he asked this question, Shi Kuan smiled knowingly and said, "Don't make any other decisions. According to reports, although Nanzhao has more than 30,000 war horses, they are basically near Yangzhumei City, the capital of Nanzhao. If we want to get this batch of war horses, we must at least fight to Yangzhumei City. Otherwise, don't even think about it."

"Okay, your highness will be able to fight directly except Nanzhao." Let's look like he was about to fight.

Shi Kuan shook his head, "We have too few soldiers and horses, and the training of each soldier is seriously insufficient. Your Highness said that we must take advantage of this critical moment to train each soldier. You also know that not all soldiers can compete with the Tiger Army, even the Wolf Army, the training time is limited. Your Highness does not want too many soldiers to be buried in the cemetery, so you have to take advantage of this critical moment to train."

"Oh!!! Forget it, 5,000 horses are only 5,000 horses." After hearing this, he had to sigh helplessly.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Second Tiger Army Regiment is ready.

After touching the Lu River, a soldier jumped directly into the turbulent Lu River and swam to the opposite shore.

However, he was tied with a rope.

Lushui is not easy to cross.

The soldier used all his strength and spent all his energy before swimming to the other side.

Shi Kuan, who was standing on the cliff, saw that the soldier performed so well, was very sure, "Rely the regiment commander, this soldier, carrying a rope, crossed the Lu River to the other side, you have to remember his merit."

"When the guards said, they naturally had to remember one merit." He was of course very eager to remember the soldier who had swam across the Lushui River when he heard that he wanted to remember the merits of the soldier who had swam across the other side of Lushui.

After a moment.

The soldiers on the other side tied the rope firmly to a big tree.

On this side, the soldiers began to pull the rope, and after pulling the rope tightly, they tied it to a big tree on the cliff.

Not long.

The soldiers of the Second Tiger Army Regiment began to cross the rushing Lu River in ziplines and arrive at Nanzhao on the other side.

Half an hour.

All the soldiers of the Second Tiger Army Regiment crossed the Lu River as soon as possible.

Under his ease, he touched the west direction of Nanzhao.

Some soldiers of the Tiger Army First Regiment took over as the defense of the Tiger Army Second Regiment.

As for what is vacant, the wolf army will defend it.

A few days later.

Li Yan came to the edge of Lushui.

"Zhengshou, have Shi Kuan and the others not come back yet?" Li Yan called Yuan Zhengshou and asked.

Yuan Zhengshou was appointed as the commander of the Tiger Army 1st regiment by Li Chongyuan.

Although Yuan Zhengshou was the leader of the regiment, most of the command was in the hands of Li Chongyuan. He said he was the leader of the regiment, but he had never done anything to the leader.

Only when Li Yan was away could he, Yuan Zhengshou, be considered a leader of the group.

There are too few soldiers in Xichuan, and Li Yan has not yet reorganized them.

after all.

The Tiger Army is the foundation of Li Yan. If the Tiger Army is in chaos, then the entire Xichuan will be in chaos.

And the Wolf Army is Li Yan's left and right arms.

Yuan Zhengshou had no objection to Li Yan seizing his command during the war, and he was even happy to do so.

after all.

Yuan Zhengshou is not the kind of command-oriented talent.

However, Li Yan would not let him go just because he was not such a talent. He had to teach them how to fight and deal with various things.

After Yuan Zhengshou was called, he shook his head, "Your Highness, Shi Kuan and the others have been there for five days, and there is no news after five days. Otherwise, I will take some people to take a look?"

"Forget it, Shi Kuan and Ruyou are considered old fry. If things really are not inconsistent, they have already come back. I guess they may have encountered some minor troubles." Li Yan didn't care.

Whether Shi Kuan or let it go, Li Yan doesn't know how the two of them cooperate.

But these two people are also considered people with rich combat experience, and news will come whenever there is any situation.

There is a saying.
