Chapter 300: Helping to choose
Looking at Luo Shixin, who was rubbing his fists, Li Shimin also laughed. He is also a good rider, so he naturally knows the wonderful use of cavalry in this period. The so-called Buke riding is actually forced out. The key to victory is not in the class, but in tactics. If you have enough cavalry, who is well fed and supports to study the tactics of what infantry and cavalry. In the flat field, the only thing that can really compete with cavalry in the era of cold weapons is cavalry.
As a cavalry general, the happiest thing is to be able to command a cavalry brigade and fight on the battlefield.
Li Shimin knows this feeling the most.
He will never forget that during the Taiyuan Uprising, in order to prevent the Turks from making trouble, he specially sent Liu Wenjing to hug the Turks' thighs. At that time, the Turks were wealthy, and they would generously send 1,800 people to support the princes who hugged his thighs and intended to rebel. Of course, the Turks are not kind-hearted, and their actual purpose is to disturb the Central Plains and cholera the world.
After Li Yuan and Li Shimin became famous, their strategic foresight was far superior to that of Liu Wuzhou and other figures. So much so that Liu Wenjing asked for 500 war horses, but he was so happy at that time that he begged for 200 horses and formed a small-scale cavalry team. I just feel that it is unstoppable, majestic, and this cavalry team is the predecessor of the Xuanjia Army.
Having personally experienced the difficulties of the year, Li Shimin was able to understand Luo Shixin's feelings, and now it is just as Luo Shixin thought. Li Tang's lack of horses was due to the fact that the imperial court had continuously supported horse breeding places such as Hequ Horse Farm and Xiliang Horse Farm in recent years. In these years, a certain amount of war horses can be allocated to the army every year, which is much better than a war horse in the past. After opening up the relationship between Tuli and Li. Even more so.
The lack of salt, iron, and weapons in the north means that there is no shortage of war horses. And because of the sudden profit and the Tang Dynasty, the proportion of huàn is extremely low. A good war knife can often be replaced by a good horse with a few knives, which also shows sincerity.
Datang's smelting technology is developed, and it is really beneficial to exchange weapons for war horses. As for the salt and iron Datang land, especially the former, it is inexhaustible.
In just a few months, the trade volume of war horses between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks has reached 50,000. Li Shimin, who often worries about war horses, also feels rich and rich in vain.
"A lot of extra overdrafts? What's that number? Li Shimin replied with a smile.
As soon as Luo Shixin heard that there was a door, he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's bottom line." That's the amount I want. His Royal Highness looked at it, I am here Han Xin to order soldiers, the more the merrier, how much do you give. How much I want. Not too much. ”
Li Shimin smiled angrily: "It's never too much? It's really a lion who opened his mouth. In this way, for the sake of your heavy task, including the original amount, I will give you an additional 10,000 war horses, which is enough! ”
Luo Shixin calculated that the original 3,000 plus the 2,000 allocated to them, plus 10,000, could make up 15,000 cavalry. Fifteen thousand cavalry, Luo Shixin thinks about it. I couldn't help but hang up my saliva, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness." There are fifteen thousand cavalry in hand, Turkic children, where is still the enemy. By the way, I don't have anyone on my hands. This has to be transferred to Gyeongju, and the position of General Youxiaowei is no longer available. But I have to take those generals in the Xiaowei camp with me. Without them, I wouldn't be able to do anything alone. ”
"It's nature!" Li Shimin didn't think about it, and responded in one bite.
"It's settled, if there's anything I haven't thought of, I'll talk about it later. It's still early...... I still have official business on hand, so I'll go first. ”
Datang is in ruins, and Li Shimin does have many things to deal with. The key is that he is a good and strong person, and he also wants to prove that he will do a better job than Li Jiancheng. Since he was named the crown prince, he has held the world's major events, and his efforts are indeed obvious to all.
Luo Shixin also returned to the west hall of the Taiji Hall and listened to the lectures of the old father-in-law of the Tang Emperor.
It wasn't until dark that the two returned to Luo Shixin's Guogong Mansion.
When I came to the door, I saw that the old housekeeper in Pingyang Mansion was directing his subordinates, and the things that Pingyang was accustomed to next door were carried to the Guogong Mansion.
Luo Shixin said: "What are you going to do with this mansion?" It's a pity to be empty! ”
Pingyang thought for a while and said, "Let's just re-plan and directly connect my two houses in one place, and use the two as one." Well, the bigger the house, the better. ”
Luo Shixin said: "This idea is good, it works. Go back and talk to Fauber, and ask him to find a master to come and draw a drawing or something. If you want to get it, you can get it better, and we're not short of that money anyway. ”
Pingyang smiled: "Listen to you!" ”
Resting and washing, Luo Shixin is young and energetic, and he knows the taste of food, and he can't help but get up and down when he gets into bed. Pingyang saw that Ailang was obsessed and did not refuse.
After a hearty battle, Luo Shixin caressed the delicate body of the beautiful woman in his arms and comforted him afterwards. He had heard in modern times that women needed to be caressed after the war, and Luo Shixin didn't know whether it was true or not, and he would do aftermath every time he was done.
Today, while comforting, he also talked about Li Shimin's search for him in the afternoon.
Pingyang listened quietly, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he found that he was more infatuated with Ailang next to the pillow than he imagined. It is even more likely to have a strong desire to go with each other...... What right guard general, what Sikong, what Youzhou Metropolitan Governor, what Shangzhu country, how can it be better to be happy with your sweetheart?
"And when are you leaving?" She didn't persuade him not to go, Luo Shixin had already analyzed the pros and cons. Pingyang's consciousness in this regard will not be inferior to Luo Shixin, and he fully understands Li Shimin's concerns. Although I have a prejudice against him in my heart, I have to admit it. Li Shimin's vision is indeed long-term, and he avoids the trouble of sending troops to the Turks in the future to find that the national strength is not enough to support a long-term expedition.
Careful planning now is far more than a hundred times better than temporary and urgent preparations in the future.
Luo Shixin said: "I don't know, the prince is also humane, and he said that he gave us about two months to get along, and we will be notified later!" ”
"How about I go with me?" Pingyang asked, she was a little uncertain. She is really reluctant to separate, but she also has her own thoughts and thoughts, and it is really not her character to be a little woman who pays silently compared to her husband and children.
"Whatever you want!" Luo Shixin kissed lightly on that seductive face and said, "You are my wife and wife, and I respect your every choice." Actually, what if you don't go to Gyeongju? Gyeongju is not far from Chang'an, and the official roads are connected, and the fast horse is a few days' work. I have a heavy responsibility and can't come back. Are you not allowed to come and see me? ”
"Thank you!" Pingyang was moved to offer a fragrant kiss. (To be continued......)
