"As a last resort, it's better not to eat this herb."

After Wang Anshi's example, Zhang Shuo still rejected Wang Anshi's proposal, and then said to Ge Hong: "Master Ge Xian, can you add salt to the forage, as well as bean feed, or sorghum, buckwheat, oats and other concentrated feed with seeds." Refining an elixir specifically for war horses? ”

For thousands of years, the nomads living on the grasslands have always been the confidants of the Central Plains Dynasty. These nomads, who often crossed the Great Wall, posed a serious threat to the Central Plains regime, and even hit the capital of the Central Plains Dynasty for a time. During the Wuhu Rebellion, the nomads entered the Central Plains and replaced the Central Plains Dynasty to establish power.

Half of the credit for their combat effectiveness is due to the war horses under their crotch. War horses provide nomads with strong mobility, charge, long-distance running, battlefield formation, and battlefield assault capabilities.

A war horse that can have such a big role will naturally not just eat forage. On the high-quality pastures of the grassland, the varieties of grass are different from those in the Central Plains. High-quality forage is rich in crude fiber, sugar, and protein. These fine pastures can be used as rations for war horses! However, it is difficult for a war horse that purely eats grass to adapt to the intense battlefield attrition in terms of physical strength and state.

In order to maintain the condition of the war horses, the herdsmen will add salt to the forage and feed some barley, bean feed, or sorghum, buckwheat, oats and other "seed" concentrate feed at intervals. The purpose of this is to ensure that the war horse does not lose fat and can participate in the battle at any time.

Some extreme practices will even add an appropriate amount of raw meat to the feed of the war horse, and strive to improve the state of the war horse in the shortest possible time, but the horse's digestive system cannot eat meat for a long time.

A mature cavalryman will regard the horse as his best companion and take good care of the horse. Only when the horses are in good condition will the cavalry have a better chance of survival.

The reason why most of the nomads wage war in the autumn is because this is the season when the nomads are the most combative, at this time, the grass has set seeds, and the fruits of these plants are rich in sugar and starch, and after the horses eat it, they will become fat and strong, oily and slippery.

In contrast, the quality of the mainstream black iron-grade forage grass in the Central Plains is much worse than that of the gold-grade forage grass in the grassland. Not to mention being on a par with alfalfa, the king of forage in the Western Regions.

Therefore, even in peacetime, the cavalry of the cadres and cavalry would feed a small amount of salt, sorghum and buckwheat to the horses. In wartime, a quarter of the concentrate feed was allowed. That is to say, a war horse consumes 20 catties of food every day, of which 15 catties of forage and the remaining 5 catties are sorghum food. In terms of food consumption, a war horse is equivalent to a soldier.

And what Zhang Shuo proposed to Ge Hong was to let Ge Hong mix 15 catties of forage with 5 catties of sorghum to refine, and first make the pills that the war horse could take.

Ge Hong has been immersed in cultivation and alchemy for many years, and now he is a grandmaster-level ability. Slightly improving the ingredients of the pill was a breeze for him.

Horse food pills (black iron): made from the melting of forage and sorghum, horses can eat to satisfy hunger, equivalent to eating ten catties of food.

Under Ge Hong's grandmaster-level alchemy, horse food pills specially for war horses soon came out. And it was also compressed by Ge Hong many times to achieve that one pill could keep the war horse from hungry for half a day.

After obtaining the refining manuals of Cao Dan and Ma Shi Pills from Ge Hong, Zhang Shuo, Bao Liang, Ge Hong and others discussed in detail the specific matters of establishing Taoism as a Qianguo.

After some discussion, both sides made a big decision, first of all, the Lingbao faction, after Ge Hong and Ge Xuan's thousands of miles of transmission, it was decided to move the main site of the Lingbao faction from Gesoshan Mountain to the Qishan Mountain in Qishan County, Donghai County.

On the other hand, Zhang Shuo made Ge Xuan the national teacher, and the Taoist Lingbao faction was the state religion of the Qianguo, allowing the Lingbao faction to preach in a large area in the Qianguo.

……

"System Prompt: In view of the player's promotion of Taoism Lingbao in China, the national religious belief page has been successfully activated. Since you are the fifteenth monarch to activate your religion, reward: Charisma +2. ”

On May 16 of the first year of Wujing, Zhang Shuo directly used the "edict to the world" skill of the Qianguo jade seal in Tan County to enshrine the Taoist Lingbao faction as the state religion of the Qianguo State and inform the entire Donghai County. And when Zhang Shuo just released the holy parable, the system prompt sound also sounded in his head.

[Army]:

The Silver Dragon Army (12500) - an elite unit based on the main force of the initial Qianguo Praetorian Guard, which has initially become a strong force after experiencing the Battle of Donghai Tong and the Battle of Qianshu, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army are generally of the fifth rank.

Long Xiang Army (12500) - the backbone of the Qianguo army formed on the basis of the original part of the forbidden army in the process of conquest of all parties. Although it suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Qianshu, with the support and supplement of the country's huge government and military system, most of the vitality has been restored, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army are generally second-order.

Xiongwu Army (12500) - After the Qianguo put down the Huaiyi Rebellion, it selected young and strong people to form a new army based on the outstanding performance of the former Qianguo Third Field Army. Sergeants and soldiers are generally of the third rank.

Huai Barbarian Army (12500) - After the Qianguo put down the Huaiyi Rebellion, it was selected from the Huaiyi Youth and Zhuang to form a new army. Because it has just become an army, the military discipline is relatively loose, but the soldiers' personal combat power is quite high, and the follow-up growth potential is great. Sergeants and soldiers are generally of the fifth rank.

Beifu Army (12500) - based on the elite private soldiers of the Xie family and the Qianguo Naval Army, the expanded waterway amphibious corps, in the battle of Qianshu, the commander Xie Xuan lured the enemy deep and broke the Hui King Wang Zhi. It fully proves the amazing strength of this army in land warfare, but the combat effectiveness in water warfare is still unknown. Sergeants and soldiers are generally second-ranked.

Jiuxian Prefecture Soldiers (349592) - After the unification of the East China Sea by the Qianguo, a large number of local refugees and displaced people who were displaced by the war were integrated into soldiers and peasants, and the scale of the local army was large. Because after pacifying the Huai Man, it was suddenly expanded and incorporated a large number of Huaiyi prisoners. As a result, the quality of the generals and officers of the government and soldiers in various places has been greatly reduced, and there is even a risk of turmoil if they are not careful.

Looking at the current national attribute panel, Zhang Shuo's heart was full of relief. In any case, the Qianguo has always been developing.

"Monarch, the Lingbao Sect has already started to migrate. At present, there are still bandits running around in the mountain. Do we have to send troops to suppress the bandits immediately, so as not to be despised by the Dao Masters of the Lingbao Sect when we get to. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shuo came back to his senses, he reviewed the folds. Gao Lishi on the side asked tentatively.

"Well, what Gao Qingjia said is reasonable. If they wait for the national teacher to come, Qishan is still in the hands of those small people, I'm afraid it won't make them think that there is no one in my country! ”

Zhang Shuo nodded, and after a little deliberation, he continued to speak: "In the battle with Shu, the kid of the Chai Cun family was quite brave and resolute. This time, he temporarily took the post of commander of Qishan, and allowed him to bring 5,000 young soldiers into the mountains to quell the chaos. ”

"The monarch, the son of Chai Shishuai, Weichen doesn't know him. But now Chai Shishuai is only about thirty, and his son is probably only in his teens. Let these milky children unite the army. Will it make people think that I have no one in the country? ”

Gao Lishi listened to Zhang Shuo's meaning, and let a teenage child lead the way, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

"What's the matter? Xie Xuan, the general of the Beifu Army, isn't it a good proof? Don't despise them because of their age, otherwise one day, you will suffer a big loss! ”

Zhang Shuo denied Gao Lishi's persuasion, and then said: "Let him pass, just to take this opportunity to sharpen him." The main thing is to let him go to find out the information first, and it is best to destroy it directly, if not, he will send the regular army to help later. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shuo had made up his mind, Gao Lishi did not continue to refute. The two men only continued to talk about other government affairs.

With the blessing of the Divine Practice, Dai Zong sent Zhang Shuo's holy decree to the Shuai Chai Depository of the First Division of the Xiongwu Army stationed in Lanling County on the same day.

When Chai Cun and Chai Kehong learned that Zhang Shuo was ready to use Chai Kehong and lead the army to defeat the bandits in Shushan. It's all a mixed bag. Chai Cun told Chai Kehong again and again, Everything must be based on stability, not for merit, but for no fault!

Under Chai Cun's arrangement, early the next morning, Chai Kehong took the next two Chai Cun's personal soldiers to return to Qushan County under the farewell of Chai Cun and Fu Youde.

Compared with Lanling County, which has good public security, the public security in Qishan County is much more chaotic. Although Chai Kehong and his two personal soldiers were fully equipped, there were still several waves of petty delusions along the way. But in the end, it was all easily cooked by Chai Kehong.

According to the news that Chai Cun helped him investigate, Qishan County is one of the few hilly areas in the entire East China Sea.

In the battle of Qianshu, these people teamed up with the Hao rebels in Qishan and several surrounding counties to conquer the city, and fought with the local town government soldiers. Until Zhao Yun led the main force of the First Army to pass by in the south, and by the way, he cleaned them up. This group of slain rabble, who lost their armor, fled back to the mountains with less than 30,000 remnants and lay dormant honestly.

Not long ago, the Huaiyi Rebellion broke out in the counties of Donghai County, and no less than 30,000 remnants of the Yi army fled into the Qushan Mountains after being defeated by the cadres, so that these bandits showed signs of resurrection, which had a considerable impact on local public order.
