On March 25, the second year of the reign of Emperor Guangqi, Shao Shude returned to Lingzhou by boat from Huining Pass, taking only a few hundred soldiers with him.

As soon as he arrived, people from Tingwangsi sent him several pieces of information.

"Li Kan moved very quickly. He has already arrived in Kuizhou for a long time. Are you asking me to buy war horses?" Shao Shude put down the information in his hand, slightly surprised.

Li Kan took away one or two thousand Ping Ning troops, and recruited more than a thousand Dongshan Party members and more than a thousand Tubo troops in Qingzhou. In addition to the escort of a thousand Shence troops, a total of 5,000 people went south. They first walked and then rode

The boat traveled quickly and lightly, and arrived in Kuizhou at the beginning of this month.

After taking office, Marshal Li discovered that there were many warlords in the five states of Kui Gorge, which was really difficult to deal with. In particular, a former Jingnan Yamen general named Guo Yu occupied Guizhou, proclaimed himself the governor, recruited refugees, and cultivated wasteland.

He had three thousand soldiers at hand, but he was very disobedient. Marshal Li planned to conquer him first to establish his authority.

Li Kan was also an old soldier. The Tubo people he recruited from Qingzhou were good cavalry, but they had no horses, so he turned to Marshal Shao, who owned two horse farms (Yongqingzha of Tiande Army and Yinchuan Ranch of Yinzhou).

This book is nothing. It's a business, who should I do it with? Li Kan wants to buy it, so it's not impossible to give him a preferential price.

But Li Kan seems to have no money...

What he can really control now is Kuizhou. The other four states each have their own governors and are all separatist warlords, which is a pain in the ass. What Li Kan means is to pay part of it first, and then return after he completes the conquest of the gorge.

The final payment will be made after two states.

Marshal Li also said that those two states are facing threats from the Qin Zongquan, and it is not difficult to defeat them. As long as they control these two states, they will have wealth.

You still want to buy a horse if you don’t have money? You have such a big face!

Shao Shude wanted to refuse directly, but when he saw the three words Qin Zongquan, he thought deeply. In history, Qin Zongquan sent people to invade the south. Although they failed in the end, many generals and sergeants surrendered to various vassal towns in the south and became the hands of others.

The elites in it, such as Yang Xingmi's "Black Cloud City", and even those who became the founding monarchs, such as Ma Yin.

Sergeants Chen, Xu, and Cai from Sanzhou are indeed elite. Jingnan and other towns have recruited many surrendered soldiers and generals. Isn't this exactly what I need? I just don't know if Li Kan is willing to part with it. After all, good soldiers are also good.

a strategic resource.

If you want to buy horses, trade them with people! I will send them to Helong so that the local forces in Minzhou, Weizhou and Lanzhou can see the power of the cannibal king's army.

It is not a fun thing to hit Caizhou soldiers on the head.

There is also Guo Yu, who seems a bit familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment. But there must be a reason for the impression I have, so you can pay more attention. He only has three thousand soldiers, and I heard that he was recruited and trained from the refugees.
