Chapter 14 Watching the Barracks

Out of the royal city, since it was accurate to go to the barracks, he naturally chose to ride a horse. Fei Yi is good to say, he is a general, he has led soldiers to fight, let alone riding horses, even if he is allowed to do an equestrian performance, it is easy to do it. And Zhao Yong only began to learn to ride a horse after Zhao came to the country, and after five years, it seemed to look the same, and ordinary equestrian movements could not stop him.

Arrow Ridge is on the west side of the Great North City, because the terrain is changeable, and the arch guards Handan, so a high platform is set up in this place to garrison the troops. This is where the garrison of Handan City is located, including chariots, foot soldiers and cavalry, all of whom are trained here. The current general of the defenders is none other than Zhao Yong's former guard, Zhao Guang, who was promoted to the rank of lieutenant after returning from the Qi State.

Zhao Yong passed by Dabeicheng, remembered the Crane Guanzi who had not been seen for many days, and went to Pang Nuan's house on the way, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at Pang's house, he saw Pang Nuan practicing martial arts with a child who was a few years younger than him, and Crane Guanzi stood aside, quietly watching the two attack. Zhao Yong couldn't help but step forward to ask curiously, but he didn't expect to startle Que Guanzi's answer.

"This son is the son of General Lian Wu, and his name is Lian Po. At a young age, his martial arts are good, and he likes the art of war, so I happened to be leisurely, so I invited him to study with Pang Nuan. According to my opinion, if this son exercises a lot, he will definitely be a handsome general at that time. The crane said triumphantly, as if he was glad that he had found such a piece of jade.

Zhao Yong was taken aback, he didn't expect that the stubborn child in front of him who was beaten by Pang Nuan all over the ground looking for teeth, but didn't cry, was Lian Po, one of the world-famous four generals of the Warring States! This can be regarded as the first famous general I have known since I entered the time and space of the Warring States.

However, Lian Po was only five or six years old at this time, except for his stubborn eyes, he would not admit defeat, and even if he was chased and beaten by Pang Nuan, he still did not beg for mercy, and he couldn't see the demeanor of a famous general at all, maybe he was too young. Since the crane has confidence in him, he will not pull out the seedlings anymore.

Yes, Zhao Yong and the three of them said that they were going to go to Jianling to have a look, and after taking a few people, they went out of the West Gate in a mighty way, and it didn't take long for them to arrive in front of the camp gate of the army, and Zhao Guang, who had already received the order, had been waiting for a long time.

A few people exchanged a few words at the gate of the barracks, and then rode towards the barracks.

Zhao is one of the vassal states that implement the county system, and the governor of each county is the county guard, who is responsible for the government affairs of a county. In addition to being responsible for managing the administrative affairs of the county, he also has to undertake some tasks of conscription and organization and training.

The conscription system of the Zhao State was established under the county system of the county guard responsibility system, and through the household registration system of each county, the young and strong labor force of the entire Zhao State was controlled.

Every man in Zhao State, every sixteen years old, has to register his household registration, which is called Fu nationality, also known as attached registration. However, at the time of conscription, not all of them were mobilized nationwide, and under normal circumstances, soldiers from near the war were used, so that the speed of conscription could be accelerated, and secondly, it was convenient to organize soldiers' resistance and stimulate the people's feelings for the countryside, and most importantly, it was also very convenient to raise grain and grass. However, when there is a big war and the whole country needs to be mobilized, Zhao will still mobilize the entire country Fu soldiers over the age of sixteen.

In addition, Zhao also established its own conscription system. The so-called conscription system actually refers to the recruitment of a group of soldiers with outstanding combat strength as standing soldiers in the name of the state, and these standing soldiers are different from Fu soldiers. Under normal circumstances, the state is responsible for food and daily life, and even in the homes of these standing soldiers, the taxes are relatively low, and some standing soldiers with outstanding military records will be exempted from taxes by special order.

For example, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State focused on polishing the Qin Zhirui soldiers, which was the foundation for the Qin State to be able to resist the Six Kingdoms in the east.

If it weren't for the death of Wei Wenhou, and the uncle who served as the prime minister of Wei was relatively narrow-minded, and focused on squeezing out Wu Qi, otherwise Wei Wushu would not have been able to destroy the Qin State. Even so, Wei Wushu is still lethal to this day, and it is also where the current Wei State is still feared by all countries.

In addition, like the skilled fighters of the Qi State and the Chu kings and soldiers established after Wu Qi fled to the Chu State, they are all one of the brave and warlike troops of various countries, and they are all writing their own legends in this time and space.

And Zhao State, as one of the Three Jin Dynasty, did not have an elite army of its own. Even South Korea formed an elite called "Caishi" after Shen Bu Harm changed the law. Therefore, establishing an elite division of his own is what Zhao Yong dreams of.

And this is also one of the purposes for Zhao Yong to arrange Zhao Guang here, although this is nominally a camp for chariots, cavalry and infantry, but Zhao Yong has signaled that Zhao Guang should pay more attention to the training of cavalry, even if it costs a lot of money, it is necessary to build an elite division belonging to Zhao State.

After a few people entered the cavalry camp, Zhao Yong got off his horse and stopped Zhao Guang's intention to gather the soldiers, but took everyone and watched these selected cavalrymen do all kinds of fancy equestrian movements on the horses, or run long distances, or under the command of the leader, they carried out the slashing and slashing actions on the horses in a unified manner. Zhao Yong and the others looked at it and thought about it when they reached the end of the camp. Zhao Yong has changed from the excitement at the beginning to a lot of light. He glanced at everyone and said to Zhao Guang, "Let's go, go to the barracks." ”

Zhao Guang's barracks is actually in the shape of a tent, not a hut. After training on weekdays, Zhao Guang definitely didn't have time to return to the city, and spent most of his time here sharing weal and sorrow with the soldiers. It's not that he is a good general, but that Zhao Yong sent him here, and he had already informed him, asking him to train the cavalry well, and if the training could not be achieved, let him come to see him. It is also based on this that he is conscientious and does not dare to be lazy. However, seeing Zhao Yong's expression change from excitement to indifference, his heart was already nervous, and it seemed that he really did not satisfy Zhao Yong.

There was no sound in the tent, even the two children who had just seen the cavalry training and were extremely excited also felt the depression of the atmosphere at this moment, although Pang Nuan usually behaved very naturally to Zhao Yong, but he was not a fool, he knew what it meant to be different from a monarch and a minister, so he slowly suppressed his happiness on this occasion, and reminded Xiao Lian Po not to make any noise.

After a while, Zhao Yong sighed and said to the Crane Guanzi: "Mr. watched the cavalry training today, I don't know how you feel?" ”

Crane Guanzi is shrewd, how do you not know Zhao Yong's mood now, but he and Zhao Yong are not the kind of relationship between the ministers and the lord, if you have to say, Zhao Yong is a carrier of the spirit of Crane Guanzi, he stayed in Zhao State, communicated with Zhao Yong, and saw that his thoughts found a home in Zhao Yong's body, and he was outspoken to Zhao Yong.

"Before answering your lord's question, I want to know, how should the cavalry in your lord's mind fight?"

"Of course, like the Hu people, crossing the mountains and mountains is like walking on the ground, shooting arrows and wielding knives to catch them. It can quickly realize strategic detours, guerrilla and other tasks, and can even use cavalry groups to attack the enemy's infantry by surprise attacks, and coordinate operations with infantry. To put it simply, it is a rapid reaction force that can fight, retreat, and attack. Zhao Yong said the cavalry in his mind.

In fact, Zhao Yong's requirements were decisively ahead of time, in the Warring States Period, the cavalry was now just an auxiliary force, performing some tasks of detecting and disturbing, and it could not be used as a standing army at all, and it was more necessary to cooperate with other arms.

Even during the period of the struggle between Chu and Han, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, used the method of infantry and cavalry to fight together, beat Liu Bang, the king of Han, and established his own cavalry unit to fight against Xiang Yu. Even so, the generals of this cavalry unit, Li Bi and Luo Jia, the two captains of the Qin State, were the cavalry captains of the Qin State, and the tactics were almost completely copied from Xiang Yu's infantry and cavalry to fight together, because Xiang Yu's tactics were indeed unique in the world in the era when there were no stirrups.

Therefore, when Zhao Yong said his request, not only Zhao Guangfeiyi and other generals were stunned, but even well-informed people like Que Guanzi were stunned, not to mention Pang Nuan and Xiao Lianpo, who had already started the kind of cavalry combat method that Zhao Yong said.

Que Guanzi froze down, thinking that he didn't see that Zhao Yong's views on cavalry had far exceeded his understanding of this type of troops, and might even surpass the use of cavalry in this era. In particular, he mentioned coordinated operations, this kind of mention is almost the first time, but with his thinking, he can soon realize that the power of this combat method should be unprecedented, because he broke the current military theory in the examination of individual combat ability, but tends to use the integrity of the army to influence the situation of the war, although this kind of combat method, in the "Art of War" is somewhat mentioned, but rare, many generals are using it, but there is no systematic formulation, and Zhao Yong uses a "coordinated operation", This kind of multi-service cooperation system is defined.

"In my opinion, this tactic of the king is too idealistic and lacks practical significance." Crane Guanzi groaned and said, "At least in my opinion, there are three problems, if these three problems cannot be solved, this kind of military requirement of the king is tantamount to fishing for the moon in the water, and it is impossible to achieve it at all." Crane Guanzi looked at Zhao Yong and showed a confident smile.

A top thinker must not only have top intelligence, excellent vision, but more importantly, learn to sell yourself.

And the crane crown is precisely this kind of person.
