"Cavalry against cavalry."

Li Guang said lightly.

Wei Qing's body stiffened for a moment, "Cavalry against cavalry, what General Li said, but is it true?" ”

"There is no joke in the army, does General Wei still need to doubt the general!" Li Guangzheng colored.

Wei Qing pondered for a moment, and finally said, "As far as I know, there are only more than 2,000 cavalry left in General Li's military camp. These cavalry should be divided into two sides, and the actual effect should be rehearsed, is it enough? ”

"This doesn't bother General Wei, the general has his own arrangements, and he is guaranteed to satisfy General Wei." Li Guang said proudly.

Wei Qing struck the knot hard, his expression was rare and excited, and he said loudly: "Okay! In this way, everything is arranged by the general! ”

Li Guang nodded, turned back to the soldiers beside him and said, "Summons Qin Shao's construction, Lao Ma Yuan exercises!" ”

"No!"

"Qin Shaoshang?!" When Wei Qing heard this name, he hesitated slightly, and asked Li Guang: "What General Li said about Qin Shao, but Qin Cheng?" ”

"It's Qin Cheng and Qin Shao who made it." Li Guang glanced at Wei Qing and showed a meaningful smile, a little proud, a little old and a little old.

"I see." Wei Qing retracted his gaze, lowered his head and muttered in deep thought.

Wei Qing came to Qiansang City to inspect the military camp in Qiansang City, and what was the purpose of it has always been a question that Qin Cheng pondered and did not understand. It wasn't until Le Yi's remarks two days ago that Wei Qing would not bring any benefits to Qiansang City after he left, that Qin Cheng suddenly realized in his heart.

Wei Qing came to Qiansang City to reward the meritorious generals who fought the Huns this time, which was only a part of it in passing. With Wei Qing's respect today, there are naturally deeper military reasons for coming to Qiansang City. Before, Qin Cheng had always thought that Wei Qing's military purpose was to explore and understand the reason why Qiansang City was able to defeat the Hun cavalry, but later, Qin Cheng found that this was not the case, although on the surface, Wei Qing's previous approach was to find out this answer for himself.

Qin Cheng thought about it carefully and found a fatal problem. If Wei Qing's ultimate purpose here is only to find out the reason for Qiansangcheng's victory over the Huns, although it is very important to figure out the morale of the army, the equipment of the army, and the tactics of the army, but these, as Le Yi said, did not ask Li Guanglai directly at all. The real question that Wei Qing came to make clear was actually whether cavalry was necessary to defeat the Hun cavalry, or whether it was enough to use mixed arms.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was extremely firm in his belief that cavalry must be used in order to defeat the Hun cavalry, then after this great victory brought by Li Guang with mixed arms, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's cavalry thinking began to waver. If as long as the tactics are used properly, the terrain of the border counties is used reasonably, and the invading Xiongnu can be annihilated with a mixed army of border counties, then there is no need to train a powerful cavalry army of tens of thousands of people at a high price.

Liu Che's vacillation may sound incredible, but when a fact is placed in front of you, you still can't ignore it after all. In particular, the victory of Qiansang City this time was such a big victory.

It is precisely because of this that after Wei Qing arrived in Qiansang City, he would work hard to understand the specific situation of the army in Qiansang City, and not let go of a single detail, the purpose was to conclude whether the army of Qiansang City could be used as the standard of the entire Han army and the standard Han army for attacking the Xiongnu on the basis of fully understanding the army of Qiansang City. This naturally includes a series of issues such as the morale, tactics, and battlefield mobilization of the Han army in Qiansang City.

Wei Qing just mentioned that Li Guang was allowed to conduct this drill with the tactics of defeating the Huns before, and this was the purpose. Qin Cheng also thought of this when he was thinking about how to convince Wei Qing that only cavalry could deal with cavalry, so he found Li Guang after separating from Le Yi that day, and explained the benefits and disadvantages to Li Guang. Li Guang listened to Qin Cheng's analysis and felt that it was very reasonable. In particular, when he realized that Wei Qing's judgment would affect the future development of the cavalry in Qiansang City, Li Guang also thought hard about countermeasures. The two secretly discussed for a while, feeling that Wei Qing would definitely ask for a military exercise later. Qin Cheng told Li Guang that Wei Qing would definitely ask Li Guang to use mixed arms against the cavalry, and he would also ask Li Guang to use the tactics of the last time. Because only in this way can Wei Qing see what he wants to see clearly. Qin Cheng and Li Guang summed it up, decided to plan the plan, and then pushed the boat down the river, proposing to use cavalry against cavalry, Liu Che and Wei Qing have been training cavalry in Chang'an for so long, and they must also want to use cavalry to deal with Hun cavalry in the future. In this way, the two decided to use cavalry against cavalry in this exercise, and then, like this, to ensure that Wei Qing realized that only cavalry can fight cavalry. And the mixed arms, without geographical advantages, cannot compete with the cavalry at all.

Only when Liu Che and Wei Qing agreed that cavalry could only be used to fight the Xiongnu, could Qiansangcheng take advantage of the situation to put forward the idea of developing cavalry, otherwise, the army of Qiansangcheng could only return to the old way before.

Qin Cheng and Li Guang had a long talk all night, and only then did they finalize many details, and Qin Cheng also took the opportunity to propose that when it was time for the exercise, he would be in charge. Because Qin Cheng now has the title of Shao Shangzao, and he is already a well-deserved senior general in the army, so Qin Cheng came forward to command, and in the past, Li Guang didn't think much about it, so he agreed. In fact, even if Qin Cheng didn't say it, Li Guang was afraid that he would take the initiative to let Qin Cheng take charge of the exercise, and if it was someone else, Li Guang was worried that they would not be able to take care of all the details. As for Li Guang, he naturally watched it with Wei Qing.

Of course, Li Guang couldn't know the little abacus in Qin Cheng's heart for a while.

With the help of the command of this exercise, the success left a deep impression on Wei Qing's heart, which was Qin Cheng's private purpose.

……

On this day, the autumn is high and cool, and the weather is rare and good.

Laomayuan is a vast sub-grassland on the border of the upper valley, with gentle undulating hills, lush green grass, and shrubs and poplars growing at the edge of the grassland, which is a rare place for large-scale military training, and it is also the place where the defenders of Shanggu have been conducting military exercises.

When Li Guang and Wei Qing came to Laomayuan with a group of personal guard sergeants, in addition to the guards guarding the city, the 6,000 sergeants of Qiansang City had already lined up in Laomayuan according to the prior requirements and arrived at their respective designated positions.

The plan stopped at the top of a higher hill, which is the place where Lao Ma Yuan has the widest field of vision, Wei Qing looked at it, and the scenery of Lao Ma Yuan was in full view.

"The scenery of the northern country has a unique flavor! Such a treasure place for cavalry training, even if it is in the forest garden, it cannot be reached. Wei Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"When General Wei first came to the border, it was inevitable that he would sigh like this. However, if General Wei had stayed here for a long time, he would not have this sigh. Li Guang was in a good mood and chatted with Wei Qing.

"What do you mean by General Li?" Wei Qing asked.

"On the border of the northern country, the wolf and the tiger are crouching, the danger is abnormal, and the Hun cavalry often goes south and grazes horses, if it is not for the people and horses, no one will be willing to stay here." Li Guangdao.

"I see." Wei Qing nodded.

"Report! General, Qin Shaoshang is ready, please tell the general, whether to start acting now! The military flag not far away waved a few times, and a herald rode to Li Guang's side to report.

"Order Qin Shao to make it, and the acting will start immediately." Li Guang ordered.

"No!"

Soon after the herald left, a heavy horn sounded in Lao Ma Yuan.

"General Li, I have a question below, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Wei Qing listened to the sound of the horn and asked Li Guang.

"General Wei, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Guangdao.

"As far as I know, Qin Shaoshang has not served as a leading general before, and he is also a heavy infantry, today's cavalry exercise, why did General Li let Qin Shaoshang command the whole army? The next question was abrupt, and he also asked General Li for advice. Wei Qing said.

"Haha!" Li Guang laughed twice and looked at Wei Qing with deep meaning, "General Wei asked, the answer is in this exercise, and General Wei will understand after reading it." ”

Wei Qing paused and said, "In this way, we'll wait and see." ”
