Chapter 67: The Moon of the Prairie
On the school field of Daiwang City, the first integration training of the Daijun Hu cavalry and the Zhao cavalry is underway.
According to Li Yan's suggestion, the Hu cavalry and the Zhao cavalry were mixed and combined, collectively known as the domain cavalry, with six cavalry as a team, five teams as a battalion, ten battalions as a brigade, and ten brigades as an army. The brigade is the basic establishment for participating in the war. At first, Zhao Yong thought that the position of brigade was invented by modern people, but later learned that the army of the Zhou Dynasty organized a brigade for every 500 people, and the person in charge was the brigade commander. And now, Li Yan suppressed this formation, and formed a team with six flower formations, with a brigade of 300 people and an army of 3,000 people.
Each team shall have a captain, who shall be served by the soldier; Each battalion shall have a battalion commander, who shall be the left lieutenant or the right lieutenant; Each brigade has a brigade commander, who is the left captain, the right lieutenant or the captain; And for each general, the minimum position must be a lieutenant.
In addition, the troops were formed according to the ratio of four or six, with the Hu people accounting for forty percent and the Zhao people accounting for six layers, and the promotion of generals did not distinguish between Hu and Zhao, and they were treated as one and treated the same. However, Li Yan and Zhao Gu still emphasized that there should be some emphasis, so that the ratio of Hu generals and generals looking for people was also controlled at four or six ratios.
"In this way, how many cavalry can be formed in the entire Dai County?"
Although he endured thirty lashes, Li Zhuo was not the kind of person who was reckless, and of course he would control his strength. But even so, Zhao Yong was able to rest and rest because of the continuous march for many days. What's more, with Bian Que, the legendary miracle doctor, Zhao Yong did not waste it. Let this miracle doctor mix some common Chinese medicines, and all soldiers carry a copy. In this way, even in the field, where there is water, the soldiers themselves can make fire for treatment.
Of course, although this method cannot reduce the injury rate, to a certain extent, it makes soldiers feel warm. In the era when medical staff were not prevalent, Zhao Yong's creation was also epoch-making. The only regret is that the miracle doctor's understanding of the manufacture of pills is still very limited, and there is no way to prepare various drugs into pills for use, otherwise it will be perfect and easy to carry. How could Zhao Yong know that when pills were popular, it had already reached the Han Dynasty, especially the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, who was an expert in the use of pills.
Now, Zhao Yong can barely stand up and watch the troops with all the generals, and it can be said that he has an inextricable relationship with Bian Que who is far away in Handan.
"Three armies, about 10,000 people." Li Yan thought for a while and said, "However, this does not include other auxiliary soldiers, including horse breeders, forage masters, etc., if you count these, I am afraid that the number will be doubled." ”
"20,000 people, it's a lot of money." Zhao Yong looked at the sturdy horses on the playground, and said quietly, he has two or three war horses, and the cost of such war horses is actually very large, especially forage, which must be good and fine, otherwise he is as willful as the horses.
"Actually, this is already the limit." Zhao Gu saw that Zhao Yong's face was uncertain, and of course he understood what he was thinking, "Daijun is located on the border, and he still has the duty to defend the territory. Now it seems that there is no problem with the field battle of the new cavalry, but to defend the city, foot soldiers and crossbowmen are still needed. What's more, there is no combat example of how the cavalry is fighting for the chariots, and I'm afraid it is not easy to directly dismantle it. ”
Zhao Yong didn't answer, paused and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go back to the city." With that, he was the first to leave. Halfway through, he remembered something, so he summoned Li Yan to his eyes and instructed him a few words. Li Yan was slightly stunned, then nodded, left everyone, and returned to the camp.
Daiwangcheng is not like Handan, there is a White Tiger Hall, which is the decision-making department of the military. Here, as is traditional, all military decision-making matters are placed in Zhao Xi's mansion. Zhao Xi himself was born as a general and led troops to fight for many years, and after seeing the sand table of the White Tiger Hall, he also imitated the production of a similar sand table. From this sand table, the military posture of Daijun, Zhongshan and Yan can be seen at a glance.
As such a military powerhouse, Zhao Xi generally does not let people enter or leave, even his wife and children are isolated by him, and the subordinates in the family are even more rare. So under normal circumstances, this place is locked with copper locks, and there are soldiers guarding it outside, so it is rare for ordinary people to enter.
Lin Yue glanced at the two soldiers and felt a little strange, because she had been in Zhao Xi's mansion for so long, she felt that Zhao Xi was not a person who loved pomp. But today, Zhao Xi unexpectedly pulled out all the soldiers in the house, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and was heavily guarded. The further she went, the denser the guards became, and there were even many faces she hadn't seen before. When this happens, something big must be happening.
But what's the big deal?
Lin Yue stepped on broken steps, lowered her head, and slowly walked towards the study. Before he could cross the bridge, he was stopped by two strange soldiers.
"What for?" The soldier said in a serious tone.
"The maid is the maid of the mansion, and as a rule, she goes to the study to clean up." Lin Yue lowered her head, but her eyes were on the equipment of the two soldiers, and after looking at it, she roughly understood that these two people must be from the military camp, not from the mansion.
"You don't have to go today, let's go back!" The soldier clearly didn't buy it, and his tone was rather vicious.
"Isn't this okay? If the slave and maid do not clean up, go back, and let the housekeeper know, but the slave and maid will be killed! She said, feigning fear.
"Go, go, go! Let's go! Lao Tzu said that if you don't sweep, you won't sweep, where is there so much nonsense? The soldier pushed her, not letting her come closer.
Just as the two were shoving, a slightly magnetic voice shouted, "What's wrong?" Immediately, a young figure appeared on the covered bridge behind the two.
Dressed in delicate leather armor, with a bronze sword hanging from his waist, a leather belt on his head, a golden hook, and a smile on his face, he felt close at a glance.
When the soldier saw the comer, he hurriedly saluted: "Captain Xu!"
"Get up, what's wrong?" Xu Yuan looked at the two soldiers, then at Lin Yue, who was bowing his head, and said with a smile.
"The subordinates are stationed here according to the military order. This servant, claiming to be a maidservant in the general's mansion, had to cross the covered bridge. The pawn didn't let him, so he argued with her. ”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan looked at Lin Yue, who was bowing his head. found that this servant has a good figure, shaved shoulders and a thin waist, a long figure, concave and exquisite, and graceful. If you increase by one point, you will be too fat, and if you lose one point, you will be too thin. If you apply powder, it will be too white, and if you apply it, it will be too red. He's such a wonderful person.
"Are you really a maidservant in the General's Mansion? Keep your head up. ”
When Lin Yue heard this, her heart was sudden, but she still slowly raised her head and looked at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan originally thought that he was so outstanding, and his appearance must be incomparable to that of ordinary women. Who would have thought that this woman's appearance is indeed very ordinary, so that she is used to seeing the beautiful Xu Yuan, but she can't mention half of the fun for this woman. Then he said, "Didn't the butler tell you that there is no need to clean this place today?" ”
"Sister Guo was in charge of this place before, but she just had something to do and asked me to come here for her, so I didn't talk about it." Lin Yue said the words that she had thought of a long time ago and said perfunctorily. She understands that Xu Yuan is here, and she will definitely not be able to get by. Let's just look for another opportunity.
When Xu Yuan heard it, his voice was also very charming, but for some reason, he was born with such an ordinary face. It seems that God is also a little unfair to this woman. Then he said politely: "Then you can leave quickly, these days, there is no need to clean here." ”
"Whoa." Lin Yue nodded, and stepped backwards to leave.
Xu Yuan looked at Lin Yue's back, and couldn't help but shake her head, feeling a little sorry for her, after all, in this troubled era, beauty is also the capital to survive.
Just as Lin Yue was secretly glad that she had escaped, the sound of leather boots suddenly came from the front. Lin Yue was no stranger to this kind of voice, and thought to herself that something was wrong. But he heard: "The general has returned home!" ”
Lin Yue hurriedly flashed out of the path like all the soldiers, her body prostrate on the ground, but her eyes quietly raised, thinking that she had to see what was going on.
After a while, a team of soldiers appeared in front of them, and then, a junior officer appeared there, Lin Yue didn't need to guess at all, he knew at a glance that this person's name was Li Yan, he was the chief military officer in charge of military training in Daijun, and he had defeated King Louhu. She is no stranger to this.
Is it just for him? Definitely not! Because Li Yan is also a frequent visitor here, he usually comes in directly after reporting.
She continued to look and found that behind Li Yan, a young man was wearing armor, but he was supported by another young man, and he was also holding his waist, slowly walking forward, next to him, Zhao Xi also bowed down to follow, lest he be injured. Lin Yue looked at it for a long time, but she didn't find that the armor this person was wearing was the equipment of the soldiers and horses of Daijun. But what is certain is that this person's identity must be unusual, otherwise, there is no need for Zhao Xi to make such a big show for him.
Lin Yue pressed the doubts in her heart, thinking that she must find a way to figure out the identity of this person.
Finally, Zhao Xi and the others left. Lin Yuecai stood up, quietly followed the other subordinates, and arrived at his residence, taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and quietly put the short blade hidden in his cuff under his bed.
With a soft sigh, Lin Yue sat next to the bed, and her careful thoughts came alive again. That young man just now, what kind of sacredness made Zhao Xi so respectful? I heard that a while ago, a messenger came from Handan, whose status was so valuable that even the Xiangbang of Daijun had to go out of the city to greet him. It seems that it is very likely that this is the one who is talking about.
Lin Yue sighed and said to herself: "Alas, it's true, these Zhao people, how good it is to stay here honestly, they have to go to the grassland to harass us." Otherwise, why would Ben Juci sneak into the mansion of Zhao Xi, an old man, and be a subordinate. The king of Zhao State, what a bastard! ”
"Ahh In Zhao Xi's study, Zhao Yong sneezed, rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said to himself: "Who thinks of me?" Or who scolded me? ”
Zhao Xi, Li Yan and the others looked at each other, looking at Zhao Yong, not knowing what he meant.
Zhao Yong didn't bother to explain to them, and said to Li Yan: "Let Gu Song come in." ”
