When later generations studied the Battle of Hulao, they often got an incomprehensible result. That is, when Liu Shan's Liangzhou Legion did not participate in the Battle of Hulao in the fourth year of Wude, neither the people of Zheng nor the people of Xia nor even the people of Qin did not think that the 70,000 troops led by Liu Shan were all cavalry.

Of course, it makes sense for these people to think so. Before the Liangzhou Legion of Liushan appeared, the army in the Central Plains was often mixed with horses and strife, and infantry accounted for the vast majority. Sometimes, even the entire army was all infantry. Of course, some troops were except for grassland soldiers, which were grassland soldiers. However, since historical records have been recorded, they have never been considered as the army of the Chinese land in the Central Plains. They were often called barbaric and ignorant nations that were satisfied with foreign countries and did not know the big words.

Although Liu Shan claimed to be 70,000 cavalrymen, and Liu Shan did take the cavalry along the way slowly along the way, the long-term mentality of people still affected most people.

How could all the 70,000 troops be cavalry? This is unique in historical records. Moreover, Liangzhou is remote, with 70,000, which is probably just some people say so.

When King Xia got the general situation of the Liushan Legion reported by his subordinates, he made such a conclusion.

No wonder King Xia made such a conclusion that cavalry is different from infantry. The cost of supporting a cavalry is often several times that of an infantry, and training a cavalry is not a good training in a day or two. Training takes time, war horses need to be selected, and horse feed is required. People like King Xia will not know that war horses are not only grown up with grass, but probably the money spent on a war horse is several times that of an infantry.

Liangzhou has been a remote place since ancient times. It is located in a remote location and cannot even support the local people. It often transports grain from the mainland to supply local consumption. It is often invaded and plundered by grassland people. It can be said to be a remote place. Moreover, since the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, it was often plundered by the Turks. Even if there is some money and some grain, the grassland people will clean up the place like the smartest and most capable cleaners. Why did Liushan, who came from Liangzhou support an army of 70,000 people, and all of them are cavalry. Why? Liangzhou has few people, large land, and low money, and it cannot complete the conditions for forming an army of 70,000 people. This is like a hair that cannot bear the weight of a ten-kilogram iron ball.

As for the news that Khan on the grassland led an army of more than 400,000 to defeat the city of Liangzhou, King Xia could not believe it. He just thought it was a smoke bomb released by the King of Qin, so that he and King Zheng of Luoyang believed that King Tang no longer had any concerns about the northern border at this time.

The reason why King Xia thought so was reasonable. Aren’t the grassland people defeated? Why did they send 100,000 troops to help him attack the Tang army at this time? Is the 100,000 troops fake? If it is true, unless all the officials in his old nest in Hebei jointly lie to him, of course, this is absolutely impossible. At this time, these 100,000 grassland soldiers are still on the road, how could it be fake?

Of course, King Xia's opinion was also related to the news released by the grassland people. The grassland people would not tell the people outside that their army had suffered a crushing defeat at Liangzhou City. Of course, they tried every means to conceal this matter. The Western Turks and the Western Regions were very close to the battlefield and were well-informed, so they did not hide it. However, the surrounding areas of Hebei and Luoyang are different. This is far from the Liangzhou battlefield, and there are only two sources of information. One is the incitement of the Qin King's army and

Promotion, one is the news from the grassland. Among them, the news from the King of Qin cannot be believed. The news from the King of Qin will only be that the Tang Dynasty won the battle here today, and the Tang Dynasty won the battle there tomorrow. If the news from the King of Qin is true, the Tang army would have been unified in the world long ago, and there are no soldiers and horses of King Zheng and King Xia around Luoyang at this time. Of course, King of Xia can only believe in the news from the people of the grassland. It is impossible to believe in the news from the people of the grassland, but it is still more true than the news from the King of Qin.

On May 7, the fourth year of Wude, Liu Shan's men had just replaced the Qin King's army and stationed outside the Hulao. The news reached the Xia King's army. The Xia King and his group of arrogant soldiers and generals, the think tank advisers realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Hebei army. They could take advantage of the Liangzhou army's unstable foothold and beat the Liangzhou soldiers hard. The attack made them fall into a turbulent water and urinate. After defeating the Liangzhou soldiers, the victorious Hebei army can use its strong morale to impact the joint areas between Hulao and Luoyang and defeat the Qin King's army here. Hulao and Luoyang army are in a group, and the Hebei army and the Luoyang coalition can occupy the initiative in the battlefield.

On that day, King Xia sent his confidant general to lead 50,000 troops to attack the Liangzhou army that had just been stationed. In his speech to the soldiers, King Xia demoted Liangzhou soldiers to no avail. If Liu Shan was present at the time, he would find that in King Xia's eyes, his army was almost the same as a piece of shit on the roadside, which was not worth mentioning at all.

When King Xia watched his mighty army drive out of Hulao Pass, he felt that he would just stay in Hulao Pass and wait for the news of the army to win. Of course, King Xia was still very concerned. He did not forget to arrange as many as 20,000 troops after the 50,000 troops set off. Of course, this was not for the Liangzhou soldiers. At this time, King Xia did not believe that Liu Shan really led 70,000 cavalry to the battlefield. King Xia was worried about another person, that is, King Qin. Since the Hebei army came to the Central Plains, he had joined forces with the Qin King's army in Hulao. Fighting with King Qin made King Xia very painful. He clearly led the Hebei army with the 100,000 troops and had a numerical advantage in local battlefields, but he fought his own army in every battle.

It is obvious that based on the terrain and the situation of the troops, what he wants to fight is definitely a victory, but things are contrary to his wishes. He always defeated the war. The Hebei army was panicked. When he started from Hebei, he thought that when the grain was harvested, he could take his Hebei soldiers back to his hometown, and he could also get a lot of land and money from King Zheng to help. Even before setting off, his advisers and generals all formulated a grand blueprint. After defeating the Qin King's army in the Central Plains, the Hebei soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue and seized a large area of ​​land in the Tang Dynasty. However, as soon as the war began, King Xia felt like a powerful general, but he encountered a swordsman with extremely flexible skills. His powerful moves were flashed by his opponent one by one, and when the opponent did it, he stabbed several swords, causing him to be injured and bleeding.
