Chapter 16 Leaving Lian Po behind
"Then I'll introduce it to you below." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
"I hope that everyone should know Zhujun and Du Pingjun, even if they don't know each other, they should know, so I won't introduce much."
Everyone smiled flatteringly and bowed. and the attitude towards Zhao Kuo is very different.
"This is Li Mu, who is less than double ten, and he is above me."
"This is Mr. Song Zhensong, who was previously the imperial doctor, and will be responsible for the health management of the army and the treatment of the wounded in the future." Zhao Kuo pointed to another old man with Dao Bone Immortal Wind and said.
It is said that Zhao Kuo thought that Song Zhen was sent by King Zhao at first, so he specially invited him to a banquet alone, and only after talking did he know that Song Zhen had sneaked out of the palace.
This operation stunned Zhao Kuo.
The next day, news came from the palace that an imperial doctor had disappeared, and King Zhao was sending someone to look for him.
Zhao Kuo saw that it was true, and without saying a word, he directly hid Song Zhen in the mansion and brought it out.
can be a royal doctor, this medical skill is definitely not bad, but it is a life-saving charm on the battlefield, how can you stay in the palace all day long and waste your life!
Zhao Kuo didn't expect that the reputation of the Warring States Period could play such a big role, and even the imperial doctor could attract it.
When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and greeted Song Zhen one after another.
There are no eyes on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee that they will not be injured, and it is a good thing to have a doctor.
Some people will have trouble with Zhao Kuo, but absolutely no one will have trouble with themselves.
"This is Mo Feng, the son of the Mo family in Handan, and I will assist you in building fortifications in the future, I hope you will cooperate."
Zhao Kuo pointed at Mo Feng again and said.
The generals were surprised, including Lian Po, but they didn't expect Zhao Kuo to bring so many talents this time.
"No."
Everyone greeted Mo Feng warmly.
Song Zhen and Mo Feng will not have any conflict of interest with everyone, but can bring a lot of help to everyone.
The generals' attitude towards them was better than that of Zhao Kuo.
"This is a famous man, Gongsun Long." Zhao Kuo pointed to Gongsun Long again and said.
Gongsun Long's fame is very great, and many of the generals present have heard of Gongsun Long's name, although they don't know why he is here, they all nod their heads.
"These two are my guests, Liu Ping and Ben." Zhao Kuo pointed to the last two and said.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, not every one of them was "famous", otherwise their little heart really couldn't bear it.
"It's getting late today, let's talk about it tomorrow. Lian Po, Yan Ju, and Mo Feng stayed, and the others went back to rest first, and tomorrow, all 1,000 people in the army will come here for a meeting. Zhao Kuo said.
"No." The crowd withdrew.
"General." Yan Ju arched his hand, I don't know what Zhao Kuo meant by keeping him, could it be because he was not respectful enough to him just now and wanted to give him a dismissal?
It shouldn't be so short-sighted!
And even if you give Ma Wei, it should be in front of everyone.
Forget it, it's just a hairy boy, I'm not afraid of him.
"Sit." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
"The general can just say what he has to say." Yan Ju said coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhao Kuo.
"Okay, then I won't detour around the bend." Zhao Kuo was not angry, took out the drawings of the saddle and stirrups from his arms, and handed them to Yan Ju, "Take a look at these two things." ”
The most powerful cavalry of Zhao is the cavalry, Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry shooting, the establishment of Zhao Fei cavalry to destroy Zhongshan, break the building annoyance, chase Lin Hu, invincible and invincible.
It made Zhao the most powerful of the six eastern states.
Zhao Kuo naturally wanted to find a way to increase the strength of the cavalry.
The saddle and stirrup were the fastest and most effective way to increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
War horses of the Warring States period already had cushions, mainly made of leather and cloth, but they were not raised at the front and back, and could not hold people in place.
The saddle painted by Zhao Kuo solves this problem.
The role of stirrups is not much to say.
As for the horse hooves, Zhao Kuo did not take them out, on the one hand, the technical content of the horse iron hooves is higher than the previous two, and it is more time-consuming to build, mainly to protect the horse hooves, and the improvement of combat effectiveness is not obvious.
On the other hand, in this world, not only people can cultivate, but horses can also cultivate, and even the most ordinary war horses are stronger than the war horses of the previous life, the probability of damage to the hooves is greatly reduced, and the role of the horse's iron hooves is also weakened.
Of course, Zhao Kuo will definitely get the horse out of the iron hoof in the future.
But for the time being, I don't have that time and energy.
Yan Ju deserves to be the commander of Zhao Feiqi, although Zhao Kuo's drawing is a little sloppy, he still sees the role of the saddle and stirrups.
"General, why didn't I think that as long as the horse mat is cocked back and forth, the cavalry can be fixed, and at the same time, the pedals on both sides can be installed, so that the cavalry can borrow strength, and the stability of the cavalry can be greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness can be at least doubled."
"Previously, it took at least five to ten years to train a qualified cavalryman. Now, it will take you half a year at most to get started, and you can fight in a year. ”
Yan Ju said excitedly, and his dissatisfaction with Zhao Kuo's appointment as the coach disappeared in an instant.
All along, the main mode of warfare of countries has been combat vehicles and infantry.
There was never any cavalry, only infantry on horseback.
It was not until after the Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting that China had the first formed cavalry corps in history.
But the training of cavalry was too difficult.
It takes a year or two just to train soldiers to ride on horseback without falling off, not to mention the training that follows.
Zhao Guo nominally had 50,000 cavalry, but in fact, except for 5,000 Zhao Feicai, who was a super elite cavalry, the other 45,000 were infantry on horseback.
As for the other six countries, except for Yan and Qin, which began to train cavalry, the other four countries did not even have a single cavalry.
For the cavalry of the Qin and Yan states.
Yan Ju only used two words to evaluate: garbage.
"Mo Feng, you are responsible for building, what do you need to tell me or General Lian Po directly. Build 5,000 pairs first, and give priority to Zhao Feiqi. Zhao Kuo said.
Although Changping had a total of 30,000 cavalry, the time to build 30,000 stirrups and saddles was too long, and Zhao Kuo could not afford to wait.
Because there are still catapults to build.
There are too few craftsmen, so you can only take your time.
"No." Ink Wind Channel.
"General Yan Ju fully cooperated with Mo Feng. Also, this matter must be kept secret, and I don't want anyone to know about it until you go to war. ”
The reason why Zhao Kuo is only taking it out now is because he is worried that it will leak out if he builds it in Handan.
Regarding Zhao Guo's secrecy, Zhao Kuo really didn't dare to compliment.
When he arrived in Changping, Zhao Kuo directly ordered the implementation of military management, and all craftsmen were not allowed to enter or leave, and it didn't matter if there were spies or not.
"No." Yan Ju said solemnly.
"You personally guard it, and prohibit people from entering and going out, except for me and General Lian Po, no one is allowed to enter or leave. The materials needed for the creation will be sent in by you personally, and each one must be registered. ”
Thinking of the secrecy intensity of Zhao Guo's funnel, Zhao Kuo said again.
"No."
"Alright, you guys go back." Zhao Kuo said.
Yan Ju and Mo Feng retired, but Lian Po did not leave.
"Is General Lian Po still in trouble?" Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po strangely.
The reason why he left Lian Po just now was just to show respect, otherwise it would be okay if this kind of thing was not notified to him.
Of course, it won't take long for Yi Lian Po to know the strength of his control over the army.
"I plan to return to Handan tomorrow." Lian Po was silent for a while and spoke.
For Lian Po, it is a matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king.
Even if you disobey military orders, you will not hesitate.
But now that the king no longer makes himself the boss, everything has nothing to do with him.
"But I don't respect the general enough?" Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked.
"Not really." Lian Po shook his head.
"But is there a gap between the general and the princes of Wangzhu and Dupingjun?" Zhao Kuo asked again.
"Why did the general say that? I've only met the two of us a few times, so how can there be a gap? Lian Po said strangely.
"Can the king give General Lian Po a new appointment?" Zhao Kuo then asked.
"Not really." Lian Po said.
"The general is afraid of Wang Di?" Zhao Kuo finally asked.
"How can the general say such a thing, I have fought for decades, I have won and lost, how can I be afraid?" Lian Po blew his eyes and glared, and his majestic momentum burst out violently, like a big mountain, which made Zhao Kuo a little breathless.
"In that case, I beg the general to stay and help me." Zhao Kuo said.
"General, please get up." Lian Po hurriedly helped Zhao Kuo up. "I just don't know if the king will agree."
Lian Po was a little skeptical.
In all respects, Lian Po wants to stay.
On the one hand, as a general, he was accustomed to the days of leading troops to war.
On the other hand, he has a very deep affection for Zhao Guo and wants to continue to contribute to Zhao Guo.
Historically, Lian Po was suspicious in his later years and defected to the Wei State and then to the Chu State.
I have always wanted to return to Zhao Kingdom.
"I'll explain it to the king." Zhao Kuo said.
"Thank you, General." Lian Po said sincerely.
What he didn't know was that Zhao Kuo was in a letter to King Zhao later.
It's not about supplies, it's about food.
He wasn't mentioned at all.
Zhao Kuo had a hunch that once Lian Po was mentioned.
King Zhao must let Lian Po return to Handan.
