"But the young general, didn't you say before that you personally asked about the drill, how did you ......?"

Xue Zan saw Shi Min's absent-minded appearance, but he didn't finish his words after all, and changed his words with interest: "Yes......"

After saying that, he walked away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was getting dark, the campfire in the camp was lit, and Shi Min was still sitting there, motionless in a daze.

He reached out and took out a handkerchief from his arms, which was the one that Qin Wan gave him that day.

This handkerchief has always been Shi Min's favorite thing, and it has been kept close to him for many days, for fear of losing or getting dirty. Every time I see it, I think of Qin Wan's voice and smile, the so-called seeing things and thinking about people, that's about it.

"Boy, what are you looking at?" Wang Shicheng didn't know when he stood behind Shi Min.

Shi Min hurriedly stuffed the handkerchief into his arms, a little at a loss: "I didn't see anything...... Third uncle, why don't you make a sound when you walk? ”

"It's not that I don't have a voice, it's that you're absent-minded and don't hear me walking." Wang Shicheng said, sat next to Shi Min, looked at Shi Min, and asked, "The handkerchief you grabbed in your hand just now was given to you by Miss Qin, right?" ”

Shi Min was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Shicheng, then nodded slightly, and did not answer.

"Your mood, I can understand, the eldest brother was like this back then, with a sad face, at that time, your second uncle and I drank a lot of wine with him......" Wang Shicheng looked up at the night sky and muttered: "I didn't expect so many years to pass...... Fortunately, your father's resistance was successful, and this is why you ......"

"My father can resist the decree, why can't I?" Shi Min asked rhetorically.

Wang Shicheng shook his head and said, "Boy, if you think about it carefully, is it the same concept that His Majesty gave marriage this time and gave marriage to his eldest brother back then?" ”

"How is it not a concept?"

"How can it be a concept? No matter what happens this time, His Majesty will not agree to you marrying a folk girl. ”

"Why is that?"

Wang Shicheng leaned into Shi Min's ear and whispered: "Because Your Majesty is paving the way for King Yan, and you are one of the floor tiles!" ”

"What do you mean...... Your Majesty asked me to marry King Yan's daughter so that my father could help King Yan in the future? ”

"Yes!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Shi Zhan's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

Shi Min and Wang Shicheng hurriedly stood up, turned around, saluted and shouted, "General! ”

Shi Zhan looked at the two of them, and said with some seriousness: "Don't discuss politics casually in the army!" You are soldiers! Not politicians! As a soldier, you just need to obey orders, and the affairs of the court have nothing to do with you! ”

"What the eldest brother said is...... The little brother knew his mistake......" Wang Shicheng nodded again and again.

"You two come with me!" Shi Zhan coldly commanded.

"Where are you going?" Wang Shicheng asked.

"The Great Tent!" Shi Zhan glared at Wang Shicheng.

"Yes......" Shi Min and Wang Shicheng looked at each other and obediently followed Shi Zhan.

The two followed Shi Zhan to the big tent, and it happened that Li Chang ran over, panting, looked at Shi Min and Wang Shicheng, and asked Shi Zhan again: "Big brother, you call me?" ”

"Come in, there's something to discuss!" Shi Zhan instructed the three of them.

The three of them nodded and entered the big tent one after another.

"The selection of the wolf rider will start in a few days, and about the establishment of the wolf rider, let's talk about what you think." Shi Zhan looked at the three of them and asked.

"With the current national strength of the Zhao State, it is impossible to establish hundreds of thousands of powerful cavalry, so the establishment of the wolf cavalry captain will be selected as a special force as a special force, which is directly under the command of the eldest brother." Wang Shicheng took the lead in saying.

"I don't think that's enough!" Li Chang took over and said.

Shi Zhan asked, "What do you think, tell me about it." ”

Li Chang took a sip of water, coughed, and said: "In cavalry combat, the first thing to consider is the number of war horses, weapons, equipment, and so on. Since you want elite soldiers, the weapons need to be unified, and the equipment must be the best, so there is no need to say more about people, you must be capable! And one horse per person is certainly not enough! At least two, and it must be the best horse, otherwise the combat effectiveness will definitely be compromised! So big brother, we first have to see if we can come up with 500 sets of good equipment now! A thousand good horses! ”

Shi Zhan nodded and asked Wang Shicheng: "The hundreds of horses you smuggled back this time, have you checked the horse breed again?" ”

"Brother Hui, I've already seen it, these horses were carefully selected by me at that time, no problem! Definitely a good horse! Among them, there are more than 300 horses of pure blood in the Western Regions! ”

"Five hundred horses are not enough, we have to pick some more from the army!" Shi Zhan bit his lip and said.

"There is a shortage of war horses in the army! I knew that I shouldn't have handed over the remaining 2,000 horses to the imperial court! Li Chang slapped the table and said with a little remorse.

"Are you a fool when you are in the court? Xiao Min almost killed thousands of Qiang people, and did not capture them at all, you ask yourself, do you believe it? Wang Shicheng retorted.

"Damn, it's really the old men who are working the front line, and the grandchildren take advantage of the cheapness!" Li Chang scolded.

"Dick! Don't talk nonsense! Shi Zhan scolded.

Li Chang was a little unconvinced, and he stopped talking, but when he saw Shi Zhan glaring at him, he pursed his lips and forcibly held back his words.

"Xiao Min, why didn't you speak today?" Wang Shicheng looked at Shi Min, who was sitting on the side and had not spoken.

Shi Min raised his head, and before he could speak, Shi Zhan scolded: "The big tent is deliberating, why are you absent-minded!" ”

"No, I'm just listening to my father and my two uncles." Shi Min hurriedly explained.

"And what do you hear?" Shi Zhan asked.

"Now there is a shortage of good horses in our army, and this is an urgent problem." Shi Min finally heard what they were talking about.

"Do you have any ideas?" Shi Zhan asked coldly.

Shi Min looked at everyone, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Gathering five hundred good horses, it is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say that it is simple." ”

"You kid hurry up, don't sell it!" Li Chang urged.

"Among the nearly 10,000 horses in the Yunzhong Horse Farm that we snatched back from the Qiang people, there are many good horses. Now those horses are in Yanmen Pass, and hundreds of horses are driven back from there, Your Majesty is afraid that he will not be willing, not to mention that Yunzhong has lost so much, those horses are his heart, and they will not be given easily. ”

"What you say for a long time is equivalent to talking in vain!" Li Chang said dejectedly.

"Second uncle, what are you anxious about? I'm not done yet! Shi Min frowned slightly and complained to Li Chang.

"Then you say, ignore him!" Wang Shicheng glanced at Li Chang.

"There are 15,000 people in the patrol battalion, and at the beginning of last year, His Majesty gave the patrol battalion 3,000 horses, I have seen them, they are all good horses!"

"You mean to ask Liu Rong for a horse? How could he give it to you! This old boy is not a good talker, and he has always been at odds with us! When Li Chang heard this, he immediately felt that it was no fun.

"Isn't it enough to let Your Majesty give an order?"

Shi Zhan thought for a while, and finally spoke: "What you said also makes sense!" Liu Rong is a soft egg who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is a waste to ask for so many war horses, I will ask Your Majesty tomorrow! ”

"Do you have any thoughts on weapons, big brother?" Wang Shicheng asked.

"I think the weapons used in horse warfare are simple and direct, and there is no need to be complicated!"

"Knives?" Li Chang asked in a low voice.

Shi Zhan nodded: "Although the sword is double-edged, in terms of practicality, it is still inferior to the knife!" The knife is single-edged and lightweight! It is suitable for slashing right away and does not consume too much stamina. Guns and halberds are naturally lethal, but when used for a long time, the physical consumption of soldiers is large, and it is not suitable for popularization. So I think it's better to use a long knife. ”

"Big brother is reasonable, the sword is suitable for stabbing, and once it pierces the human body or armor, it may be caught and cannot be withdrawn in time, affecting the battle, but it is easy to break with a sword, and the process of building it is more cumbersome. In contrast, knives are more practical. Wang Shicheng nodded.

"Father, about the long knife, I think it can be imitated from the ring head long knife used by Huo Quzhi when he was fighting the Huns in the north! This knife is simple and practical. Compared with the Hun knife, although the knife is very suitable for chopping, the long knife of the ring head is longer, the so-called one inch long and one inch strong! This means that before the knife cuts our soldiers, our ring head knife can already cut off the enemy's head! ”

"Hey! That's a good idea! Li Chang clapped his hands and praised.
