Wei Qing came to this Qiansang City, and after reading Liu Che's reward order in the county guard's mansion, he proposed to go to the Qiansang City military camp to see the Han army that could defeat the Xiongnu in Qiansang City. Li Guang naturally had no opinion on this, so he led Wei Qing to go. Of course, Li Guang would not be bored enough to ask the barracks to prepare some welcome ceremony or group drill in advance to meet Wei Qing's test. After Wei Qing arrived at the military camp in Qiansang City, he was like a junior brother visiting the kiln, and instantly forgot about Li Guang and the others. I started to look around very seriously, and I looked at everything very carefully, very seriously, and I didn't ask the generals of Qiansang City around me, and I was very happy to see it. That serious demeanor is like remembering the appearance of every long knife and every halberd in the barracks. Of course, as for what he could see by looking at it like this, Qin Cheng and Li Guang, who were following him, naturally wouldn't care. Later, Wei Qing talked a lot with the ordinary soldiers in the barracks, involving all aspects of things. But these soldiers can easily answer, and they will not embarrass them. After looking at the barracks and greeting the soldiers, Wei Qing checked the armory of the barracks again. Wei Qing looked at some extremely ordinary weapons very carefully, refused to miss a detail, and from time to time he put his hand on it and stroked it, and even picked it up and sniffed it. Qin Cheng looked at Wei Qing frowning, with a serious look, and secretly laughed in his heart, if Wei Qing tried to find some basis or clues from this for Qiansang City to defeat the Huns, Qin Cheng could only say that his thoughts were very comprehensive.

Wei Qing wandered around the barracks by himself, rarely saying anything to Li Guang. To understand the true face of a military camp, as a professional, it is always more real to see it yourself than to be said by others. Li Guang followed Wei Qing around the barracks, Wei Qing didn't speak, he didn't say anything, although it was strange in his heart, but he also thought of the general meaning of Wei Qing doing this, so he simply didn't say much. Wei Qing also missed the time for lunch this time, but Wei Qing didn't seem to realize this at all, and he didn't care what other people thought about following him and doing nothing, but he was content.

After most of the day, Wei Qing finally shook the barracks, looked up at the sky, only to find that the hour was not early, and when he looked back, he found that there were a large number of people behind him, he was stunned for a moment, and said to Li Guang: "I'm really sorry, I forgot the hour in the next moment, delayed the generals for so long, and there is really no need for the generals to accompany you, just take a look here yourself." ”

As soon as Li Guang heard that Wei Qing still had the intention of continuing, he couldn't help but say: "General Wei wants to survey my Qiansang City military camp, why rush for a while, it will not be wrong to conduct a survey after dinner." My Qiansang City military camp is here, and General Wei is still afraid that it will be lost? ”

The unhappiness in Li Guang's tone was very clear, but Wei Qing didn't change his face as if he didn't hear it, but after all, he still hugged Li Guang and said, "That is the case, I will have dinner with the generals first, which can be regarded as a thank you to the generals for your hospitality today." General Lee, please! ”

"General Wei, please."

Originally, Changshi had prepared a banquet for Wei Qing and other Chang'an envoys, but before he had a chance to say this, he was blocked by Wei Qing when he entered the military camp in Qiansang City, and Wei Qing said very clearly that the banquet was exempted. Wherever you go, you eat.

After everyone had eaten, the sky was getting darker, Wei Qing could not ignore the color of the generals, but he could not ignore the sky, so he did not inspect the barracks again. Before leaving, Wei Qing was still that old-fashioned and unfazed look, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

After sending Wei Qing away, Li Guang said to the generals around him: "I don't know what this Wei Qing is doing, he has been tossing around in this military camp all day long, looking at his posture, where he seems to treat meritorious soldiers, but like he came to investigate the rebellious and treacherous." Ben General didn't understand, he could watch what was good to see in this armory all afternoon, and what was there to talk about with the soldiers, he could talk about it all afternoon. This kid is also the spirit of the past two years, a few years ago when I was in Chang'an, he saw which time the general was not only a promise, this time it's good, the person in front of the general looks like a dog, it's quite like that, it's really up to him! After all, it's just a kid who climbs to the top by a woman, and he really takes himself seriously, if it weren't for the fact that he was in a good mood today, for the sake of His Majesty's face, he would have to give him some color! ”

Li Guang held his breath for a day, and he scolded very aggressively at this time, looking very unhappy, and even did not hesitate to ridicule Wei Qing in public because Wei Zifu was Liu Che's woman.

The generals echoed for a while, and everyone was quite unimpressed with Wei Qing's approach today, so naturally there would be no good words at this time. Qin Cheng saw the reaction of the generals in his eyes, and then thought of Wei Qing's performance today, but felt that it was nothing. How about Wei Qing, Qin Cheng is not easy to judge now, but in terms of Wei Qing's performance today, from the perspective of a modern person, Qin Cheng is still quite appreciative. In later generations, when an official went to the local area to inspect, he was not led by a group of local officials to make a show, where could he really see what was wrong. Wei Qing's loss today is at most just an improper posture and way of doing things.

Wei Qing didn't have any special communication with Qin Cheng except for a few words of greeting with Qin Cheng in the county guard mansion today, and Qin Cheng also knew in his heart that this kind of central official might not really take him seriously. Wei Qing wants to lead Liu Che's will and figure out the reasons for the Han army's victory over the Xiongnu in Qiansang City, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Not to mention Wei Qing, in the military camp of Qiansang City, in addition to Li Guang and a very few other people, how many people can understand the reason for the Han army's victory over the Xiongnu this time?

That night, the generals of the barracks dispersed unhappily, and the joy brought by the addition of officials to the knighthood during the day was also diluted a lot, and everyone returned to the barracks with calm faces, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

Le Yi was among the best in the army because of the number of beheadings in this battle, and he was also on the scene when he was knighted today, and he followed the generals behind Wei Qing for a day, and he was also a little depressed at this time.

"How does this General Wei look like this, you are the greatest hero of this war, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid this battle wouldn't have been able to win, this General Wei didn't talk to you today, and didn't ask the general for advice, what are you wandering around in this barracks, is it possible that he still thinks that our victory over the Huns this time is because of the power of this ordnance?" When he returned to the barracks with Qin Cheng, Le Yi couldn't help but be indignant.

Qin Cheng smiled noncommittally, and knew in his heart that Le Yi was fighting for himself, so he didn't say much, but said: "Don't think that the key reason for this big victory over the Huns is me, I have a few catties and a few taels in my heart." It is also reasonable for General Wei to inspect the barracks, and to understand the reasons why an army wins a battle, we cannot but understand the army, and to understand an army, we cannot fail to understand the army's sergeants and military equipment. There is nothing wrong with General Wei doing this today, if it is not as I expected, General Wei will still have some time to stay in Qiansang City, and these days, I am afraid that he will also focus on the barracks. ”

Le Yi pondered for a while, puzzled: "If you want to know about the sergeant and the army's equipment, why didn't he ask the general directly, the general is the chief general in the army, and he naturally knows these things clearly. Moreover, like General Wei, he just wanted to understand this army by himself, if it really came to the day when he completely understood the army of Qiansang City, wouldn't he pat his ass and go back to Chang'an? That doesn't seem to do us any good! ”

"Uh......" Qin Cheng listened to Le Yi's words, especially when he heard the last sentence, his heart suddenly moved. If the facts are really as Le Yi said, Wei Qing will find out the bottom of the military camp in Qiansang City and leave, which will not bring any benefits to Qiansang City, then Qiansang City's plan to vigorously develop cavalry must also come to naught, after all, Qiansang City to develop cavalry is inseparable from the support of Chang'an, which is tantamount to a disaster for the Qiansang City army and Qin City. And according to Wei Qing's attitude today, Qin Cheng was not taken to heart by him, maybe he didn't think that Qin Cheng really had great talents, or maybe he felt that Qin Cheng's wisdom might not meet Liu Che's needs to choose cavalry generals, Liu Che probably didn't really put Qin Cheng in his eyes, otherwise Wei Qing's attitude towards Qin Cheng today would not be so cold, if this is the case, Qin Cheng's idea of wanting to enter Chang'an will be indefinite!

Thinking of this, Qin Cheng secretly pondered, how could he get Wei Qing to notice him and introduce himself to Liu Che?

"Qin Cheng, what are you thinking?" Seeing Qin Cheng's pensive look, Le Yi forgot to answer his question and asked.

Qin Cheng smiled faintly, although he only thought about it in his heart, but he already had a preliminary answer, Qin Cheng smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing." The reason why General Wei did this naturally has his reasons, so we don't have to think about it too much, we just need to do our job well, so why bother with how he tosses in the barracks. ”

……

In the next two days, Wei Qing was still inspecting the barracks, but unlike the first day, this time Wei Qing was not only patrolling the barracks, but would consult Li Guang about some matters in the barracks, such as the drill and tactical training of sergeants. In this regard, although Li Guang was dissatisfied with Wei Qing in his heart, he still said it truthfully one by one. Two days later, Wei Qing proposed to Li Guang an order that was said to have been given by Liu Che - a military exercise.

Military exercises are not new to modern times, they also existed in ancient times. Let's just say that the last time Qiansang City was tried, if it didn't coincide with the invasion of the Xiongnu, it would have been a military exercise. As far as the armed forces are concerned, apart from actual combat, military exercises are undoubtedly the best form of perceiving the combat effectiveness of the armed forces from a macro perspective.

"General Wei, what is Your Majesty's special will for this military exercise?" After listening to Wei Qing's words, Li Guang did not feel a little surprised, but asked calmly.

"Your Majesty's order is naturally to carry out this exercise in accordance with the tactics of General Li when he fought against the Xiongnu last time." Wei Qingdao.

Li Guangmian did not change, listened to Wei Qing's words, and said slowly: "General Wei, the general has a proposal. ”

"Oh? General Lee's proposal, though. Wei Qing asked.

"The last time our army attacked the Huns, the reason why we were able to win was that we had a great advantage in terms of geography. Moreover, the last time the Hun cavalry attacked us, the tactics were different from those in the past. That is to say, the reason why our army was able to defeat the Huns last time was that special factors accounted for the main part, and such a situation is really rare in a century, and the last battle is also a rare second time in a century. Therefore, according to the general's observation, since His Majesty and General Wei want to understand the combat strength of our army in Qiansang City, and foresee the situation of the next battle between our Qiansang City and the entire Han army and the Huns, they can no longer practice according to the last battle situation. Rather, it should be, a new exercise. Li Guang told this cause and effect as if he were reading from a book.

As Li Guang expected, Wei Qing listened to Li Guang's words and fell silent. Wei Qing lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked tentatively, "I don't know what General Li said about the brand-new exercise, what it is?" ”

"Cavalry against cavalry."

Li Guang said lightly.
