"At present, how many heavy cavalry have I been equipped with?" After watching the performance, Yang Mu nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time was very interested in numbers.

"Back to Your Majesty, this kind of heavy cavalry costs a lot of money, and at present, only the Qilin Legion is equipped with more than 10,000."

The one who answered was Yuan Hong, the general of the Qilin Army who was in charge of training the heavy cavalry, who was bowing his head at this time and clenching his fists to report.

More than 10,000 ......

Enough should be enough, right?

Yang Mu calculated in his heart that the cost of heavy cavalry was very huge, the cost was three times or even higher than that of ordinary cavalry, but in terms of combat use, the restrictions were very large, and it was easy to be found by the enemy in practice, such as weather and weight, as well as terrain, the flaws were huge.

He knows that.

Let's just say that the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and even the Sui and Tang dynasties, at that time the cavalry was just emerging, and the heavy cavalry came into being, and it was almost invincible on the battlefield at the beginning.

However, its decline is just as rapid, because there are too many flaws.

For Cangguo, the role of heavy cavalry is a transition.

Because he knows that over the years, countries have also been actively developing cavalry, and there is hardly a short-sighted country that can survive in the troubled times, and the development of cavalry must be the top priority.

Although, at present, except for Ruan, no country has shown cavalry, but there is no need to think about it, they must be developing in secret, just like the heavy cavalry of Cangguo this time, they all want to achieve a blockbuster effect in a certain battle.

Yang Mu believed that with the wisdom and skill of Chu Emperor Xiong Minne, he must also be secretly developing cavalry, and he was the one who spared no effort.

Yuan Hong said: "Your Majesty, the first batch of heavy cavalry has been almost trained at present, and the soldiers are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they can be put into actual combat at any time, but they are still insufficient in scale. ”

"No need." Yang Mu waved his hand and said: "Heavy cavalry is not a long-term solution, in the near future, my Dacang will usher in a peerless weapon, enough to sweep all countries, the role of heavy cavalry is only temporary, in the long run, light cavalry is the right way." ”

A peerless weapon?

Sweeping the nations?

Yuan Hong listened, with some doubts in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and excited.

Over the years, Cangguo has created too many miracles, and His Majesty said that there is a peerless weapon, then there must be a peerless weapon.

What is it that has the power to sweep across the nations?

The review passed quickly, and Yang Mu's purpose was just to see how strong the heavy cavalry trained by the Qilin Legion could be, and whether it had the strength to suppress the light cavalry.

After this review, it was obvious that the heavy cavalry trained by the Qilin Army did not disappoint him.

These heavy cavalry will be the trump card of Cangguo in the next period of time.

"Not yet, we have to take precautions, if these heavy cavalry make the countries feel too much fear, it will be very bad."

Yang Mu made a two-handed plan, and after returning to the palace, he made a decree to let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contact Wuguo, Yunguo, and Jin State, and let the Ministry of Commerce cooperate, and in the future foreign trade, resources will be more tilted.

The so-called long-distance and close-range attack, it is these countries that should be handed over at present.

Soon, it was August.

Cangguo's slow infiltration strategy of boiling frogs in warm water has achieved initial results, such as Kangguo and Yanguo, Cangguo has sent garrisons, although the scale is relatively small, and there are no more than 10,000 people, but it is of great significance.

Also in August, since the night attack of Shao, Cangguo released his relaxed attitude for the first time, inviting Chu to send ministers to Cangguo to discuss the issue of peaceful coexistence, and mentioned in the national letter that Cangguo had no intention of expanding externally, but only wanted to develop steadily and let the people live a prosperous life.

Cangguo released this signal, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for all countries.

After all, in the case of a big victory just fought, it could have taken advantage of the victory to pursue it, but still took the initiative to show goodwill, and it is inconceivable in any country to make such a promise.

It seems that the Emperor of Cangguo really has no intention of expansion!

On the contrary, everyone can benefit from the transaction with Cangguo, who is not happy?

But at this time, Yun Guo and Mang Guo were unhappy.

The melon seeds have been bought, the bench has been moved, and they are waiting to see a good show, how can it be said that there will be a truce?

How can this make everyone embarrassed?

So, a very funny scene appeared, which was originally placed on high hopes by Xiong Minne, the emperor of Chu, and had always hoped to win over Mang and Ruan Guo to fight against Cangguo, and coincidentally sent a letter of state, expressing deep sympathy for the defeat of the Chu army, and at the same time pretending to persuade him in the letter of state, he must be patient, which means that everyone will not look down on Chu and still recognize Chu's status as a great power.

At the same time, he secretly picked up and lobbied many nobles of the Chu State, and tried his best to stimulate him, and invariably, attributed the fault of this defeat to Xiong Minne's head.

This time, Xiong Minne couldn't bear it anymore.

How powerful the State of Chu is, it can be ridiculed so much!

Moreover, it is still pressing step by step!

Now, among those nobles of the family, which one doesn't regard him Xiong Minne as the culprit?

Without exception, they are more or less blaming him, if it wasn't for him, the Emperor of Chu, who jumped out to oppose Cangguo, then Chu State would not have been specially singled out by Cangguo.

In this regard, Chu Huang Xiong Minne said that the pressure was great.

Of course, what made him even more unbearable was Cangguo.

Obviously, it was the Chu State that took the initiative to provoke the war, but why was it the Chu State that was wrong!

To this day, it is no longer clear who is right and who is wrong, no one cares who makes the first move in the war on the border, all the countries can see is that the Chu State has been jumping up and down, and they can't wait to attack the Cangguo immediately.

The state of Chu had 500,000 troops on the border, which was twice as much as the Shao Cang coalition army, and it was more likely to take the initiative to provoke trouble and attack.

Xiong Minne was angry in this place, obviously it was Cang Guo who made the first move, but it was Chu Guo who was behind it.

I can't bear it!

……

The state of Chu acted.

In the condemnation of the nobles of the whole country, Xiong Minne finally couldn't bear the pressure and made up his mind to fight a big war, recover the decline, and relieve the siege for Chu at the same time.

And this time, he is going to sacrifice his trump card.

Cavalry!

Originally, this was his last resort, even when he was fighting with Yun Guo, he had never used it.

On the one hand, when attacking Yun State, due to national strength, Chu State was the attacking party, and Yun State was often closed to defend the city, and there were not many annihilation battles and battles, so there was no need to use them.

On the other hand, it is because Xiong Minne feels that the Chu army can cope with ordinary wars, and the trump card of cavalry must be placed at the most critical moment.
