Chapter 178: The Cavalry with Worrying Combat Strength

The army marched north to resist the Yan State, but because of Zhongshan, it still had to make a detour to Jinyang to the north. The army marched in the Taihang Mountains, the cumbersome chariots, and the baggage in him, made the march extremely slow and difficult. During this period, General Yin Qi's urgent reports for help flew like snowflakes, making Zhao Xing and Zhao Yong feel extremely pressured.

"If we follow this speed, it will take at least half a year to reach the battlefield, this will not work, as soon as the turbid deer is lost, the Daijun will be gone, and we must speed up the march." Zhao Yong also began to get anxious.

The Yan army rushed into Daijun, then the Zhao army would be absolutely passive.

In the end, Zhao Yong decided to hand over the chariot soldiers to the deputy marshal Leqian to stay behind and continue to move forward, and he and Zhao Xing went straight to Daiyi with 10,000 cavalry in the starry night, and then replenished grain and grass, and returned to the turbidity. Hold the turbid deer first, wait for the army to arrive, and give a counterattack according to the situation.

The army immediately divided its troops, and Zhao Yong and Zhao Xing galloped north with 10,000 cavalry.

However, not long after the 10,000 cavalry galloped, a situation arose, because the mountain road was rugged and crowded from time to time. Although there are saddle stirrups, there will still be soldiers who fall from their horses, and in the blink of an eye they will be trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of the galloping cavalry. Before the war began, there were casualties and attrition on the march, which made Zhao Yong, who had always had high hopes for the cavalry, feel very disappointed and embarrassed.

"I really didn't expect that such good equipment, such good treatment, after more than a year of training, but still such an ending, it was simply a disappointment to the widow, could it be that Hufu rode and shot wrong? Could it be that the people of the Central Plains can only be chariot soldiers? Zhao Yong muttered hatefully.

Zhao Xing knew that Zhao Yong had a feeling of frustration, and this feeling was unacceptable, he would ruin the military reform of Zhao State.

So, Zhao Xing had to patiently explain to Zhao Xing: "The Zhou people are good at farming, not to mention good at riding and shooting, even horses are rarely seen, after such a long time of training, it is already rare for these people to be able to ride horses and gallop on this rugged mountain road, and it is not easy for General Lechi." ”

The teacher is right about everything, this is Zhao Yong's habit that is close to perverted. "But if we march like this, when we arrive at the battlefield, there will be very little cavalry left of these precious and incomparably expensive piles of money."

That's the insight, that's the key.

So Zhao Xing thought of the dragoons, so Zhao Xing suggested: "We are waiting here for the troops behind, let these precious cavalry stay behind, and let those infantry who are good at guarding follow us to the turbid deer on war horses." As long as these well-guarded infantry arrive at Turbidity, they can replace our cavalry that is not good at guarding, so that the advantages of each class can be brought into play. ”

Zhao Yong's eyes lit up: "The teacher is right, but those infantry are on horses, and the losses will be greater." ”

"Tie them to their horses, and they'll all be settled?"

It was a stupid idea, but it was a good one, so the army stopped and waited for the infantry to arrive. As a result, there was a delay of another three days.

"Sometimes, as long as the method is correct, the delayed time will be rescued in disguise." Zhao Xing did not have the eyes of the nobles of the court, and began to educate Zhao Yong like in the mountains. Zhao Yong is also happy to be taught.

"The teacher is right, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, our ultimate goal is to defeat the enemy, as long as these 10,000 infantry who are good at guarding rush to the turbid deer and replace your elite cavalry, in fact, we already have a chance."

"I'm quite relieved and happy that you have such an understanding."

"Teacher, I am no longer the ignorant 15-year-old boy, the disputes in the court have made me mature, and the strange situation in the world has made me see further." Then he grinned: "Don't tell the teacher, I went out in person this time, not to fight for a breath, but more to go directly to your Daijun to really investigate all your achievements in change and see how effective it is." "Pen in Chinese

Zhao Xing said indifferently: "Okay, you can also be careful, this proves that you are truly mature." It's still the same thing I told you in the mountains, hearing is false, seeing is believing. If you haven't witnessed anything with your own eyes, even someone like a teacher or me that you trust the most, you shouldn't be gullible. For example, our cavalry, which has cost countless dollars, should be a hundred battles lion that swept the world in the mouth of the general, but now it can be seen that it is still glamorous on the outside and unbearable on the inside. ”

Zhao Yong nodded: "However, fortunately, the general has not really got carried away yet, he knows the situation in his heart, so he did not come out this time, which I am quite pleased with." ”

Hearing this, the most gratifying thing was not Zhao Yong, but Zhao Xing: "If you can always uphold this mentality to see and employ people, you will definitely be a generation of Mingjun." ”

The infantry on horseback marched north at a gallop, but because there was no supply of chariots, Zhao Yong's dragoons had to go to Guangxian halfway to eat and replenish.

In the blink of an eye, it has been four years, and the boiled county official has been replaced by a county order appointed by Zhao Xing, and at this time, Guangxian has regained its vitality again. Not only that, but it is governed in strict accordance with the policy of the county, so that the result of the system is much more prosperous and developed than other counties. For example, this time, 10,000 people eat mackerel for more than half a month, according to the normal supply of a county, the productivity of your age, it is almost an impossible task, unless you continue to exploit the people.

However, when the county order was reported, when the army had just arrived, he calmly stood in front of the city gate to greet the king and his own master.

Zhao Xing was not polite, and after a set of etiquette, he asked bluntly: "Is my request for your grain and grass supply satisfied?" ”

The prefectural magistrate calmly replied, "No." ”

Zhao Yong said angrily at the time: "The military situation is urgent, you dare to be so slack, the national law is intolerable." ”

The county order gave another salute and said proudly: "Your Majesty, is this recruitment from the people's levy or from the treasury?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "This time is special, of course, it is from the treasury." ”

The prefectural decree said, "In that case, bring the money." ”

Zhao Yong was stunned.

The county decree said: "If the people levy the tax, it will be completed in three days, and if the treasury is released, it will be completed in one day." ”

"How do you do that?"

The county order did not answer, walked to the front of the hall and clapped his hands, and a group of subordinates ran forward. The county order instructed: "Issuing a notice, within half a day, a number of grains and beans are needed, and they will be purchased by Pingjia Gao." ”

The group of subordinates immediately dispersed.

Then the county order walked back to the lobby: "Please feast with your heart, and after half a day, the grain and grain needed by the army and the beans required by the war horses will be delivered on time." Then he said unceremoniously: "I also see that the king and the lord did not carry gold or silver, so please pay the deduction from this year." ”

Zhao Yong looked dazed, and Zhao Xing looked proud.
