Although he has confidence in Han Shin, his opponent is extraordinary, and he has to consider all possibilities and prepare for the worst.

Han Xin replied affirmatively: "If you think too much, I, Han Xin, will not fail!" ”

He still has self-confidence and pride, he is most afraid of uselessness, Liu Bang named him a general, gave him such a big stage, he does not believe in the possibility of failure, and does not allow failure.

Kui Che said: "I am convinced of the general's ability to command the troops, but must not be careless!" Zhao Xie can't afford to lose, and the general can't afford to lose either! ”

He just defected to Han Xin and assisted Han Xin, not to serve Liu Bang, he hoped that Han Xin would become famous. Kuaicher believes that Han Xin is not absolutely impossible to fail, although the possibility is not high, it is not appropriate to pour cold water now, but can only remind him more later.

After the Zhao army seized Yandi, Zhao Xie had to deal with more twists and turns every day, although Li Zuoche was given temporary military and political management authority to Yandi, this is only the right to manage, and the decision-making power of major events lies with King Zhao, and there are many aspects that need Zhao Xie's approval, and some aspects still need to be discussed with Zhao Xie. Fortunately, Jicheng to Xiangguo is a plain area of Pingchuan, and the fast horse can reach it within two days.

On January 7, the date of He Xian's departure arrived.

Outside the north gate of Xiangguo, Zhao Xie personally bid him farewell here.

"He Aiqing, the widow is waiting for your good news!"

"Please rest assured that my king will live up to his mission!"

He Yan bid farewell to King Zhao, got into a carriage, and headed north under the escort of his soldiers.

If he could persuade Donghu to sell horses to Zhao, including war horses that could be used at any time, and breeding stallions and mares, it would be a great achievement. He Xian is eager to make meritorious service and hopes to serve the imperial court, this is a good opportunity, King Zhao has high hopes for him, he is not only happy to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but also feels that he has a great responsibility.

Zhao Xie watched the carriage go away, hoping that this courtier could get things done.

Before the advent of stirrups and Takahashi saddles, cavalry could still play a large role, and once equipped, the role would be even greater.

Once Zhao Xie invented it, the world would follow suit, and he wanted to gain an advantage in cavalry in the battle for China, and also lay a good foundation for the future confrontation with the Xiongnu.

The Zhao army had 6,800 cavalry during the northern expedition, and lost 800 people in battle, and after Zang Cha surrendered, 2,200 cavalry in the Yan army were incorporated into the Zhao army system.

Now there are more than 8,000 cavalry of the Zhao army, plus hundreds of war horses captured by the Chu army on the banks of the Zhangshui River, there are currently a total of 9,000 war horses.

Since the launch of the large-scale military training, the Zhao army has drawn thousands of people from the original infantry into the cavalry sequence to participate in cavalry training, allowing some experienced cavalry to give one-on-one guidance, and sometimes freeing up their own horses for new recruits to practice horsemanship.

After the capture of Yan, half of the cavalry had returned to Zhao to continue to guide the training of recruits.

Zhao Xie got into the carriage and returned to the palace, and when the carriage stopped at the palace gate, Zhao Xie, who got off the carriage, saw Xiao Ping who was waiting here.

The work of forming the Jinyi Guard has begun, even if Xiao Ping does not come, Zhao Xie will summon him, and immediately take Xiao Ping into the palace and come to the study.

After Xiao paralleled the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, he said: "The training outline given by the king to the minister, the minister has deeply understood!" ”

Zhao Xie inspected Xiao Ping on the spot to test his theoretical ability.

To his surprise, Xiao Ping was not only familiar with the content of the training syllabus, but also able to express his own opinions.

For example, the screening, training, and assessment of intelligence personnel, Zhao Xie wrote out the methods that he could remember, and Xiao Ping was able to further concretize each link and focus more on actual operations.

For example, how intelligence officers operate after infiltrating other countries, and how to extract intelligence from the corresponding personnel without being suspected, Xiao Ping can say more specific methods.

Zhao Xie could only rely on his memory to write down the relevant knowledge he knew in his previous life, which was only theoretical knowledge and needed to be operated by the corresponding courtiers.

There has never been a very professional intelligence department before, which does not mean that there is no one with this potential, Xiao Ping has good potential.

During this period of time, Xiao Ping pondered the matter of Jinyiwei at home almost every day, and the training outline of the king opened a window for him, plus he hoped to be entrusted with important tasks by King Zhao, who had both enterprising spirit and theoretical guidance, which completely stimulated his potential.

"That's a good point, but it's just on paper, and it's the real skill to do it well! The widow gives you the opportunity to assist the widow in training the brocade guard! ”

Knowing the relevant theoretical knowledge does not mean that you will be able to do a good job in practice, Zhao Xie currently has no other suitable candidates, unless he goes into battle in person, or he can only reuse Xiao Ping.

"King Xie!"

Appreciated by the king, Xiao Ping looked excited.

At present, more than 1,000 people have passed the preliminary screening, and it is necessary to further investigate and strictly assess in the training to determine the first batch of personnel of Jinyiwei.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were both very surprised when they learned that Zhao Xie had suddenly seized the Yan Kingdom.

Xiang Yu was just surprised, Zhao Xie was stronger and could share the pressure of dealing with Liu Bang, but he hoped that Liu Bang would eventually clean it up by himself, and after the next time the people's crops were harvested and taxes were collected, he would immediately move westward.

In Pengcheng, the capital of Western Chu, in addition to military preparations, Xiang Yu stayed in the gentle countryside and lingered with Yu Ji. He likes to solve problems by force, and does not care much about internal affairs and economic aspects, and is taken care of by Fan Zeng, Xiang He and others.

Someone once suggested adopting Zhao's "apportionment into mu" tax system, but Fan Zeng and Xiang disagreed, believing that the nobles should have more privileges than the common people.

Since the Warring States period, the state of Chu has always been a weak court, with each nobleman having his own fiefdoms, slaves, and even private soldiers, and did not have or only paid a small amount of taxes to the imperial court.

Later, after Wu Qi left Wei for Chu, he was reused by the king of Chu to implement changes and cancel the privileges of the nobility, and the nobles hated him to the core.

But the good times did not last long, after the death of the king of Chu who supported Wu Qi, Wu Qi was killed by the nobles, and the next king of Chu no longer followed the Wu Qi system and restored the old system, and the state of Chu has never been strong again.

Fan Zeng is good at strategy, and in terms of internal affairs, he can't compare with Xiao He.

Guanzhong, Liyang.

In the original history, after Liu Bang captured Guanzhong, he took Liyang as the capital, called the emperor to Luoyang as the capital, and accepted the advice of his courtiers to build Chang'an City east of Xianyang in Guanzhong.

For Zhao Xie's rapid annexation of Yan State, Liu Bang was not only surprised, but also a little uneasy, Zhao Xie got the land of Yan State, increased millions of people, and further expanded his power, it was more difficult to clean him up, fortunately, he had confidence in Han Xin, and hoped that there would be no accidents.

If you want to defeat Xiang Yu, you must first seize the north, if you want to seize the north, taking Zhao is the top priority, in case Han Xin can't win, it will be difficult to seize the world in the future.

After the first year of the year, Liu Bang returned to Liyang from Luoyang, and immediately met with Xiao He to learn more about the internal affairs of Guanzhong.

Xiao He said happily: "It's really wonderful to have this stall into the mu, and Zhao Xie can figure it out." When the ministers announced the new tax system, the people of Guanzhong and Bashu welcomed it. ”

Soon after Zhao Guo announced the new tax system, Xiao He learned and began to implement it.
