"How's it going?" When retreating towards Jizhou, Yuwen Chengdu still calmly glanced at Zhao Yun, who was covered in blood, and asked.

It was extremely rare for him to take the initiative to ask this question, and Zhao Yun obviously knew this, and a smile appeared on his pale face.

"General Yuwen rest assured, I can't die from this injury, I believe that now Yan Gang must think that I can't be reused in Jizhou, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't trust me at all, and even doesn't hesitate to let me die on the battlefield!"

"When this information is sent to Gongsun Zhan, he will no longer have any hesitation, and he will soon be in the city, and at that time, His Majesty the Emperor's plan will be successful!" Although Zhao Yun's voice was very soft, the trace of excitement in his words was undisguised.

His every move was watched by Yuwen Chengdu, to be honest, at the beginning he didn't believe in this person who surrendered, in Yuwen Chengdu's cognition, a person can surrender once he can surrender a second time.

Judging from this contact, the person in front of him should not be what he thought, at least he was very calm in the face of life and death, and he trusted himself very much.

"It's good if you can't die!" Yuwen Chengdu nodded slowly.

His words were still cold, but Zhao Yun was pleasantly surprised to find that Yu Chenyu's attitude towards him seemed to have changed slightly.

Not to mention...... Being able to get Yuwen Chengdu's recognition made Zhao Yun involuntarily feel a sense of accomplishment, now that their task has been completed, the emperor should appear next......

……

At the same time as Zhao Yun and Yan Gang were fighting, Jizhou City was also not idle, Liu Xie summoned Ju Yi, Guo Yan, and Jia Xu to the military camp, and he was ready to take out another thing he had designed, if nothing else, it could even change the situation of the next battle.

"What did Your Majesty do when you summoned us here? Isn't it time to go all out to prepare for Gongsun Chan? Ju Yi looked at Guo Yan and Jia Xu, who also came here, with some confusion and asked.

He was the first person to come here after receiving the order, since he experienced the last incident, he can be said to be obedient to Liu Xie, and even, Ju Yi has decided that he has followed Liu Xie in this life, and no matter what happens, he can't change it!

"I don't know...... Guo Yan shook his head slowly, but his gaze instinctively fell on Jia Xu's body.

As if he had received a hint, Ju Yi stopped talking and turned his head to look at Jia Xu.

"The two generals don't need to keep an eye on it, I don't know what Your Majesty wants to do, but one thing is certain, Your Majesty's actions must be related to the next battle situation, and at this time, you won't do one thing for no reason!" Jia Xu spread his hands helplessly.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart, because if there is a little bit of something, everyone's attention will be on you.

It was when they were discussing with each other that the figure of the shadow guard appeared here, and when they saw these people appear, they knew that the emperor was coming.

Really.

It didn't take long for Liu Xie to come slowly accompanied by Zhang Han, but unlike before, this time Zhang Han was still holding a horse in his hand.

"I've seen Your Majesty ......" The first time they saw Liu Xie, Ju Yi and the others bowed to him almost at the same time.

"You don't have to be polite!" Liu Xie smiled slightly and waved them to get up.

"I'm sure you're all wondering what I'm looking for you for, and before that, I want to discuss a problem with you!"

Although Liu Xie's words were so, his eyes fell on Guo Yan for the first time, which made Guo Yan look a little nervous.

To know.

Since following Liu Xie to Jizhou, Liu Xie has not explained anything to him for a long time, although he really wants to be reused by Liu Xie, but he can't take the initiative to speak about this kind of thing.

"General Guo Yan should know better than anyone else that the role of cavalry on the battlefield is famous in the world for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which the general does not deny, right?" After a little hesitation, Liu Xie looked at Guo Yan and said slowly.

Hearing Liu Xie say this, Guo Yan looked a little confused, he didn't understand what the emperor meant by suddenly mentioning this topic, but he still nodded quickly.

"Your Majesty is right, a good cavalry can have a surprising winning effect, and in many cases, tens of thousands of troops are not even as effective as a thousand-person cavalry!"

"It's just that the cavalry has strong combat ability, but the number has not been able to improve, after all, the consumption of cavalry on the battlefield is much greater than that of others, and it takes a lot of time to cultivate an experienced and capable cavalry, which is also the reason why cavalry is precious!" -

Guo Yan roughly said what he knew, and both Ju Yi and Jia Xu agreed very much with this.

"That's right, but there's one thing you didn't mention, and that's why the cavalry consumes so much!" Liu Xie had been prepared for a long time, and soon raised another question.

"This ......" Guo Yan first glanced at Ju Yi and Jia Xu beside him, and then smiled a little helplessly.

"The attrition of cavalry is unavoidable, and a good cavalry often has a huge impact force, and there are few to stop them on the battlefield!"

"But with a huge impact, it also means that the danger they face is also greater, and many times, once the cavalry rushes out, it is basically announced that they cannot come back!"

Speaking of this, Guo Yan smiled bitterly again, not that he didn't think of this, but that he felt that it was useless to say these things.

"Yes, in the process of running, the cavalry not only has to use most of its strength to fix its body on horseback, but also controls weapons to fight, so that the danger factor is infinitely increasing!" Liu Xie sighed secretly and nodded.

Having said this, Jia Xu, who had never spoken for a while, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and he looked at Liu Xie's thoughts.

He knows.

The emperor would never bring up this issue for no reason, just like the last time he solved the problem of wounded soldiers, if he had no way to solve it, it would be absolutely impossible to throw the problem out.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but get excited, and he thought of a possibility.

"Come ......" Liu Xie didn't mean to continue, but turned around and waved at Zhang Han on the side.

Zhang Han should have been arranged a long time ago, and at this time, he immediately led his horse and walked over slowly.

"General Guo Yan has led the troops for many years, and he must be very proficient in equestrian skills, so he shouldn't mind showing us it, right?" Liu Xie took the reins of the horse from Zhang Han's hand, and then looked at Guo Yan with a smile again and asked.

I don't know why, Guo Yan always has a bad feeling, today the emperor's attention is on himself, and everything he does is related to cavalry and war horses, but he wants to know what the emperor wants to do.

"This is a natural ......" After hesitating for a moment, Guo Yan nodded slowly.

Forthwith.

Liu Xie personally handed over the horse to Guo Yan's hands, and Guo Yan had a lot of thoughts in his heart at this moment, but he had to do it according to the emperor's requirements first.

He didn't say anything, but was ready to find something to cushion as usual, and then turn over and ride around in front of the emperor.

But.

He soon discovered the problem, the horse that Liu Xie handed him had some more things, not only a saddle, but also two more iron rings on both sides of the horse's belly.

The size of these two iron rings is about the same as the size of his feet, Guo Yan first glanced back at Liu Xie, and did not ask what the use of this thing was, so he naturally put his feet into the iron rings, and then turned over on the horse with his strength.

As he sat on the horse, he put his other foot into the ring, and his feet were fastened to the horse's back.

At this moment, Guo Yan seemed to understand why Liu Xie let him ride a horse, although the two extra things seemed small, but the actual effect was far greater than he imagined.

In order to confirm his thoughts, Guo Yan tightened the reins of the horse, then took a deep breath and suddenly drove the war horse forward and galloped away.

I have to say.

Guo Yan's equestrian skills are indeed very good, his whole body seems to be attached to the horse's back, no matter how the horse is bumpy, there will be no change.

But Guo Yan's current experience is far from what others can imagine, he has ridden a horse for so many years, and he has never felt so relaxed as now.

Before that, all horses only had saddles, and the horse's belly was bare on both sides, and if you wanted to control the horse well, you had to clamp the horse's belly with two legs, which was what Liu Xie said, a cavalryman he had to put most of his strength on controlling his body.

Guo Yan had long been accustomed to this, so he didn't pay too much attention to it at first, and it wasn't until this time that he understood how good these two extra things were.

With these two iron rings to firmly hold his legs, he saves most of his strength, and most importantly, his hands have more room to play.

Now there is no need to worry about falling off the horse because the horse is too fast, so you don't have to worry about this, and the cavalry will play better.

The most terrifying thing is that in this way, the impact of the cavalry will be several times as much as before, Guo Yan's speed is very fast, and it didn't take long for him to run a lap and return to the original point again.

When he naturally turned over and dismounted again, the excitement in his heart could no longer be controlled.

"Your Majesty is wise, the last general understands!" Guo Yan took a deep breath and bowed to Liu Xie with great respect.

There are many things on his mind now, and he can't even imagine what role the cavalry will play on the battlefield in the future after the two iron rings he just experienced are promoted.

And that's not all.

After having this thing, Guo Yan even thought that as long as the Xiliang army under his command came out, it would be able to greatly change the battle between them and Gongsun Zhan......
