Anger is anger, and after anger, soldiers still have to be trained, and battles have to be fought.

So, that night, Li Guang came to visit Yang Chuan in Taishou Mansion, and the first thing he said when he entered the door was: "Marquis Changning, can you get a batch of leather armor, scimitars and horse lances for my eight thousand old soldiers?" ”

Yang Chuan's family was eating, Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang were naturally eating, and when they saw Li Guang coming in, the two of them arched their hands, which was regarded as a greeting.

Liu Man, who was sitting beside Yang Chuan and serving, quit.

Seeing this riotous white-haired old general, she was inexplicably angry, and couldn't help but speak: "Li Guang, aren't you very capable?" Why, can't even solve the problem of 8,000 soldiers and horses? ”

Li Guang insulted Liu Man in public yesterday, and when the two of them met, they naturally didn't have a good face.

Li Guang finally figured out that the little woman beside Yang Chuan turned out to be Liu Man, the princess of the full moon, so he had to swallow his anger and said: "The last general doesn't know Her Royal Highness the princess, so it's a lot of offense." ”

Liu Man still wanted to speak, but when he turned his head sideways and saw Yang Chuan's face was not good, he instantly smiled: "Oh, it's not strange if you don't know, this palace is joking with General Li." ”

Li Guang: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness." ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Li hasn't eaten dinner yet, right?" Come on, come on, sit at the table, who is that, Huo Guang, add a pair of chopsticks to General Li, and add a few bowls of oily meat noodles. ”

Li Advertising was not polite, he sat down and began to eat, and in a blink of an eye, three bowls of oily meat mixed noodles were swallowed, and a few dishes of meat and vegetables on the table were swept away, and then he raised his head and arched his hand: "Changning Hou, after the meal, can you find a way to make some weapons and grain?" ”

Yang Chuan asked with a smile: "There are some weapons and grains, but the leather armor you mentioned is not." ”

Li Guang's eyes widened: "Marquis Changning, the Yulin Army is the emperor's personal guard, one by one wearing iron-clad battle clothes, and the weapons are sharp, this should be like this."

But.

The 8,000 veterans recruited under my command are also soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and each of them is a real good family, experienced in a hundred battles, and died nine times in life......"

The impassioned words made Yang Chuan a little moved, and said with a smile: "General Li, Ben Hou has prepared 10,000 iron armor for you, weapons and chariots, etc., which are also similar to the Yulin Army, but I don't know if those 8,000 old soldiers can still carry fifty or sixty pounds of iron armor?" ”

Li Guang was stunned.

Ten thousand, ironclad.

Even if he was in the post of Taishou in Yanmen County, he commanded more than 30,000 county soldiers, plus 10,000 border troops under the command of the Jie, and the elite iron cavalry who could wear iron armor, but it was only 3,000.

Moreover, as for the 3,000 armored soldiers, most of the iron armor they wore was also the 'leftovers' returned by the Northern Army, but the border army had already regarded it as a treasure, and they were eager to provide it, kowtowing day and night......

"10,000 iron armor, the same configuration as the Yulin Army," just when Li Guang was stunned, Yang Chuan said with a smile: "Moreover, the ordnance chariot is also brand new, no worse than the equipment of the infantry of the Northern Army, if it is placed on the Mobei battlefield, it is naturally insignificant."

However, this time we are going to fight the Right Virtuous King.

The enemy is different, it is necessary to adopt different tactics, Ben Hou and Qu Sick, Cao Xiang repeatedly discussed, considered, and felt that if they wanted to defeat the Right Xian King at one time, it was not enough to have the vertical and horizontal opening and closing of the Yulin Army, but also to have a heavy infantry that could not be defeated, dragged down, and provoked.

So, General Lee. ”

Yang Chuan groaned twice, and asked as if he was slightly worried: "Can your eight thousand old soldiers take on the heavy responsibility?" Fifty or sixty pounds of iron armor, plus the wool felt coat inside, plus the close-fitting silk armor, but also can drag more than fifty pounds of giant shields, at the same time, but also can dance more than twenty pounds of hook and sickle, horse lance, spear, and can also pull boxwood hard bow ......"

Listening to Yang Chuan's words, the veteran Li Guang was dumbfounded.

This time, I was really dumbfounded.

He fought on the battlefield for decades, and he can really be regarded as a veteran and famous general of the Han Empire, not only with the Huns, with the Qiang and Di people, but also with the well-equipped vassal armies, how can he not know the importance of ordnance and equipment for a force?

It can be said that the same army and horses, with different equipment, are simply worlds apart.

For example, why was the Northern Army, the most capable of fighting in the Han Empire, able to chase the Huns to the death?

The command of the great general is the key.

However, the suppression of equipment is also a reason that cannot be ignored, you must know that the iron armor of the northern army, when colliding head-on on the battlefield, the wolf tooth arrows of the Huns are useless at all, unless they are shot directly in the face, otherwise, it is simply tickling.

He had seen the cavalry equipment of the Yulin Army.

One word: Zhente Niang's greed......

……

Let Li Guang lead a heavy infantry army, this is the result of Yang Chuan's careful consideration.

For this famous 'Great Han Elk Marquis' in history, he is also heartbroken, after thinking about it, he always feels that it is too embarrassing to let Li Guang lead the infantry cavalry deep into the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions, you know, on the complex and changeable geography and weather, the Hexi Corridor and the vast Gobi, deserts, grasslands, snow-capped mountains and lakes and Haizi all over the stars, even Yang Chuan is a little breathtaking, without the compass, compass and other 'high-tech' support, maybe there will be elk.

Not to mention Li Guang.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, deliberation and deduction, he decided to simply build a heavy infantry unit that fought steadily and did not need to run long distances, and let Li Guang's troops and horses attract the firepower of the Huns, thus creating an opportunity for Huo Quai's 3,000 elite iron cavalry.

Of course, with only 10,000 soldiers and horses, the difficulty of carrying down hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Huns can be imagined.

Yang Chuan has his own plans for Yang Chuan.

The number of people is not enough, and the equipment is to make up.

He didn't believe that in front of a real heavy infantry army, how many waves could the poor of the Huns set off?

After being full of wine and food, Yang Chuan led Li Guang to 'get equipment'.

In a military village seven or eight miles away from Lintao New Town, Li Guang finally saw what was the essence of the Yulin Army, and finally understood that in the first battle in Shuofang County last year, the Northern Army and the Yulin Army were able to beat and fight 780,000 Huns with only two or three thousand people, but their own losses were not very large.

In that battle, the battle losses between the Northern Army and the Xiongnu were more than 'one Han fighting five Hu'.

The Yulin Army was even more terrifying, and it was able to achieve the battle loss ratio of 'one Han fighting ten Hu', and what made him especially envious was that every attack of the Yulin Army was a devastating blow to the Hun cavalry......

As a general, who doesn't love top-tier gear?

In this seemingly inconspicuous military village from the outside, but with extremely tight defense, aren't all top-level equipment piled up everywhere?

"This is an improved iron armor, weighing forty-two catties and six taels, three hundred and sixty-five pieces of cold-wrought iron with a hydraulic heavy hammer, and four armor iron plates to protect the important parts of the upper body."

"This is a helmet, weighing nine catties and three taels, which can withstand armor-piercing arrows, and can also be used as an iron pot to bake military rations on the march."

"This is a boxwood bow, and each archer is equipped with two hundred armor-piercing arrows, and two hundred ordinary feather arrows."

"This is an infantry crossbow, controlled by a group of four, which can effectively kill cavalry one hundred and thirty paces away, and can be shot through at one time with men and horses."

"This is a modified horse lance, this is an infantry long knife, this is a ......"

“……”

For these extremely sophisticated weapons, Yang Chuan is very familiar with them, leading Li Guang and a few people to look all the way, and finally came to a huge underground warehouse, which is also full of armor, blades, etc.

"General Li, Ben Hou has roughly calculated an account, there are now 8,000 old soldiers under your command, you can consider classifying them," Yang Chuan suddenly remembered something, and said casually: "For example, 300 chariots can not only transport grain and weapons at the same time, but also camp on the spot on the flat field, as a fortification, you can train 2,000 chariot soldiers;

For a hoplite, the defense must be hard, so there must be three thousand shield soldiers, at least able to withstand the seven or eight charges of the Hun cavalry......"

In the matter of military battles, especially defensive battles, Li Guang is undoubtedly one of the top masters of the Han Empire, so before Yang Chuan finished speaking, the veteran began to look at him and smiled very honestly: "Marquis Changning, how to fight this battle well, I know in my heart." ”

Yang Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "Ben Hou is selling Analects in front of Confucius's door, close ...... Ahem, Han ...... Ahem, anyway, it's just that some of them are too good teachers. ”

Li Guang nodded, and said seriously: "The original words of Changning Hou should be that Confucius sold Analects in front of Confucius, and Li Guang talked about archery in front of him. ”

Yang Chuan: "......"

Is this the same? No wonder he has been fighting for decades and is still a small school captain.

Delivering a variety of weapons and grain to Li Guang, Yang Chuan, the county guard, was basically completed, and the rest was to do everything possible to send the raised grain and grass to the front line, which was all a later story.

Before returning to the city, he suddenly called out to Li Guang, who was smiling and couldn't put his legs together: "General Li, Ben Hou still has something to discuss." ”

Li Guangle ran over and said, "Changning Hou, please speak." ”

Yang Chuan hesitated for a breath or two, and suddenly asked, "How many war horses have you recruited this time?" ”

Li Guang stretched out a hand and forked five thick long fingers: "Five thousand good war horses." ”

Yang Chuan nodded: "That's okay, go back and find a way to recruit another batch of people for you, make up a whole number, two thousand." ”

Li Guang was a little puzzled.

"The emperor sent a decree, asking Benhou to go all out to cooperate with the hussar general Huo Qubing and your General Li, weapons and food are on the one hand, and Benhou wants to recruit some sons-in-law, merchants, prisoners, etc. in Longxi County, so that they can go into battle to kill the enemy and wash away their sins."

Yang Chuan smiled embarrassedly and continued: "General Li's hometown is from Longxi County, so he naturally knows that although the territory of this Longxi County is large, all the registered people add up to only 350,000 households, even if every household is out of Ding, it is simply not enough to make up so many young and middle-aged soldiers.

Therefore, Ben Hou thought of a way, but he didn't know if it was feasible or not? ”

Li Guang pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is really very tricky, you are the county guard, and you have the responsibility to recruit county soldiers, but you also know that the county soldiers are completely different from the border army, the northern army, and the Yulin army, without the orders of the emperor and the general, even if you see the Huns outside the pass killing the people, your county soldiers have no right to mobilize to kill the enemy......"

The two were silent for a while.

You can almost guess what each other thinks.

Yang Chuan wanted to lend Li Guang 2,000 county soldiers and go to battle with the veterans, but there was no emperor's will, and the county soldiers were mobilized at will, which was not a joke......

Exterminate the Nine Clans.

Yang Chuan didn't want to give such a low-level handle to Liu Che.

But the problem is that even if Li Guang's 8,000 veterans are armed with full calculations and become an elite infantry army, without the flanks of the cavalry, it is like a 'target' that cannot fight back just by being beaten, and sooner or later it will be dragged down by the Huns.

"Let's talk about it again."

Yang Chuan thought about it for a while, and finally gave up his original plan: "Your task for General Li is to fight steadily and steadily, all the way flat, and as for the flank safety and mobile strike, it will be handed over to Huo Qu to be cured." ”

"General Li, don't worry, Benhou will prepare more grain and grass for you......"

……

Back at Taishou Mansion, Yang Chuan sat alone by a pond for a while, thinking about some questions, and then returned to the back hall.

It was late at night, but the three little women in the family had not slept yet, and they got together to be female celebrities.

The lights are flickering, and the face is shy.

An unprecedented war is about to start, but the scenery here is the same, and in a trance, Yang Chuan was a little unexpectedly moved, and felt that all his efforts were not in vain.

Only when there is a family can there be a country, and the ancients were honest and did not deceive me.

He slowly ascended to the attic.

Sister Leopard stretched her ears, looked at Yang Chuan with a faint gaze, stretched her waist very lazily, and opened her mouth to 'meow', but Yang Chuan stretched out her hand to stop her.

Yang Chuan suddenly became curious and wanted to hear what his three little women were saying.

Outcome.

After only three or five breaths, his face turned ugly.

“…… Sister Zhiniang, Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun spoils you the most, and every month I spend the night in your room, I have to spend three more days than the two of us, what's the matter, why hasn't your belly bulged yet? ”

"That's right, Sister Weaver, your belly ......"

"Shut up!"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up when you have the ability to serve Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, and what kind of tigress majesty is here with this palace!"

"Liu Man, are you itching?"

"Hey, Sister Zhiniang, how do you know that this palace is itchy tonight? Oops, it's itching to death, I really want Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun to tie me up and make eight hundred ......"

“……”

That's it.

I don't have eyes to see, I don't have ears to hear.

It is often said that three women play a play, but this play of Yang Chuan's family is too outrageous, which makes Yang Chuan, who is eavesdropping at the door, feel that his old face is hot.

This Liu Man, it's really itchy!

Yang Chuan was just about to step into the door, but he heard the light and pleasant voice of Zhiniang: "Liu Man, you are the emperor's biological daughter, as Yang Chuan's wife, between words and deeds, you must have a royal noble demeanor, only in this way can our family's door style be correct, and the Yang family's lintel can step by step towards a famous family."

As open-mouthed as you are, you don't know what to be ashamed of, and you swing your waist and twist your hips at every turn, which is worse than the prodigal hooves in the Qinglou, where is there still a bit of a wife! ”

Yang Chuan's heart warmed: "Listen, it's still the weaver who is sensible." ’

Then, Zhiniang's words made Yang Chuan break the defense......
