Chapter 268: Cutting Qin

"It works." Lecheng was silent for a moment and spoke.

In Le Cheng's opinion, the cavalry of Wei and Zhao were far behind.

First of all, there is a huge gap in the soldiers, Zhao Guo since Hu Fu cavalry shooting, horseback riding has quickly become popular among young people, plus Zhao often fights with the Hu people, everyone instinctively learns to ride horses, 'its people are despicable, less civil, good at shooting and hunting. , with a little training, it is an elite cavalry.

The Wei State is located in the Central Plains, and the people are not familiar with horseback riding, and everyone prefers to drive horse-drawn carriages.

The second is the war horse, when the Wei State used to have Hexi and Hedong, not only could they raise horses, but also obtained some good war horses from the Hu people, and later shrank in the Central Plains, and the war horses could basically only be obtained from the Zhao State.

Although the war horses sold by Zhao to Wei were not the worst, they could not be the best, and the best Zhao Guo kept them for himself.

Then there is the time, the cavalry of the Wei State has been trained for more than eight months, even if there are saddles and stirrups, such a short time is not enough to train elite cavalry.

Finally, there is another point, the reason why the cavalry of Zhao State was able to rise was because of the Hufu cavalry of King Wuling of Zhao.

The so-called Hufu refers to the clothing with short clothes, tight sleeves and long pants.

In the past, the costume of the Zhao State was the traditional wide robe of the Central Plains, which was very inconvenient when fighting on horseback.

Dressed in Hufu and fighting on horseback, the movements are very flexible and convenient. Open the bow and shoot arrows, use it freely, run back and forth, and be quick and agile.

Even though the customs of the Zhao State itself were already very open, when King Wuling of Zhao reformed, he still suffered strong opposition from the vast majority of nobles, and only a few people supported it.

In the end, Zhao Wuling Wang Li overrode public opinion and took the lead in wearing Hufu, which was the success of the reform, and the Zhao State went up and down, from the nobles to the common people, from the army to the people, and changed to wear Hufu. It has changed people's traditional concepts and impacted traditional etiquette.

But the group of people in Wei is much more stubborn than Zhao State, in their hearts, Hu clothes are worn by barbarians and inferior people, how can we wear this kind of clothing in the Central Plains, the state of etiquette.

In the end, Hufu is not to mention in the people, even if it cannot be implemented in the army. Many people would rather endure all kinds of discomfort and wear long-sleeved clothes.

When you get on the horse, you have to lift your clothes to your waist before you can turn over on the horse, and when you ride on the horse, you always have the feeling of strangulation.

When running, the wide sleeves are filled with air, which seriously affects speed, stability, and the accuracy of the bow and arrow.

To Lecheng's anger, this group of old stubborns not only did not want to make changes themselves, but also laughed at other people who made changes, calling them barbarians.

Some soldiers from poor families didn't care about this, but after being despised, they could only change back to their previous service.

Le Cheng was powerless against this group of people, and he deeply felt that not to mention eight months, even eight years, Wei would not be able to produce elite cavalry.

He had told the King of Wei about this, but how could the King of Wei have the courage of King Wuling of Zhao, and in the face of the opposition of the whole army, he could only say one sentence in the end: "The widow thinks this is very good, so let's train like this."

What else can Lecheng say? It's okay if you think it's good, it has nothing to do with me anyway, and Lao Tzu will withdraw in a few months. ….

However, the Qin State, the 'barbarian', is worthy of being the same as the Zhao State eight hundred years ago, and when he saw any good things, he used them, and after seeing the results of the reform of the Zhao State, he immediately began to study and popularize Hufu in the army.

As for feudal etiquette? What's that? Haven't heard of it.

Thinking of Zhao Kuo's advice, Le Cheng's heart moved, and he continued, "If the King of Wei wants to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, the foreign minister has a way."

"Oh? Tell me about it, General." King Wei's eyes lit up and he said earnestly.

"Hit!" Le Cheng waved his fist and said, "The reason why my Zhao cavalry is strong is because of the Hufu cavalry, the second is because of the stirrups and saddles, and the third is because of the rich combat experience. Although the Wei State had stirrups and saddles, the soldiers did not want to fight in Hu clothes, and their combat effectiveness could never be raised."

"But it's different on the battlefield, everyone has the instinct to save their lives, when they find themselves dressed in a bearded suit

The Qin army was stronger than them, and the wide robes would affect their combat ability, causing them to be injured or even killed in battle, so they would consciously change to Hu clothes."

The battlefield is the best teacher, they don't listen to their own words, and they don't listen to the words of King Wei.

Lecheng didn't believe it, the enemy's butcher's knife was up to his neck, could they still not listen?

There may be people who would rather die than change to Hu clothes, but Lecheng believes that such people are a minority after all, and such people will stay on the battlefield forever.

The rest will obediently obey his orders.

"What the general said is extremely true, the battlefield is the best teacher!" King Wei slapped his thigh violently, and now there is another reason to attack the Qin State!

King Wei clenched his fists and looked firmly at the west, where was the Liang Yuan that had been burned by the Qin State, and it was also the Qin State, "The widow wants to raise an army to crusade against the Qin State and recover Hexi, what do the three generals teach the widow?"

"The last will never give up." Jin Yan immediately clenched his fists and said.

The murderous figure flashed in Mang Mao's mind, and his body couldn't help but shudder, and after a few breaths, the fighting spirit gradually replaced fear, and he arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the king's orders."

Finally, King Wei looked at Lecheng.

"The king asked all his foreign ministers to listen to the king of Wei during his stay in Wei." Lecheng said.

Hearing Le Cheng's words, the King of Wei was a little disappointed, even though he tried his best to win him over, Le Cheng was still lukewarm and unwilling to join the Wei State.

"Decree that 200,000 soldiers will be levied from now on. The day Fan Qing returns from his mission to Chu and Korea is the time to crusade against Qin." King Wei ordered loudly.

……

On the road from Handan to Daijun, neat armies slowly moved north.

The horses' hooves clattered, and the scouts on both sides rushed back and forth, conveying orders to the whole army, even in the hinterland of Zhao State, the Zhao army still did not relax.

Caravans and pedestrians waited quietly on the side of the road, which, according to the regulations, was owned by the state and was usually open to the public. However, in case of special circumstances, such as marching, or the war spreading into the territory of Zhao, the road will be temporarily closed and only allowed to be used by the government.

Naturally, the people have no opinions, and they dare not have opinions.

Everyone looked at Zhao Jun with some fear and some pride, and whenever someone familiar passed in front of them, they would jump up, excitedly point out each other to the person next to them, and shout and say a few words of encouragement.

Others craned their necks to see if anyone they knew.

When Zhao Kuo and the generals rode past them on war horses, deafening exclamations would sound on both sides of the road.

There are even strong men who bring their own horses and weapons, and ask to join the army and fight against the Hu people together.

Zhao people are never afraid of battle!
