Chapter 12: Fusu goes to Lantian Camp

Ten days later, the ministers escorted Fusu out of Xianyang City all the way. Li Si boarded Fusu's chariot under the pretext that he had something to tell Fusu. After Fusu retreated from the left and right guards, Li Sibai fell in front of Fusu, choked up and said:

"Please be careful, Chen Li Si is waiting for his return in Xianyang. If the son has an accident, the minister will definitely do his best to assist the little son. ”

"Prime Minister, please get up, I promise the Prime Minister that I will return safely from this trip," Fusu said and helped Li Si up.

"Childe, please hand over this letter to Han Xin" Li Si took out a letter and handed it to Fusu.

Li Si slowly walked out of the chariot and silently watched Fusu's chariot go farther and farther until it disappeared into the distant sky.

"Prime Minister, go back" Watching the shadow of the chariot disappear into the sky, Li Si's guard said helplessly.

"Let's look at it a little longer," Li Si looked sadly at the sky in the distance.

In just four months, Li Si witnessed how this young male lord rescued Great Qin from the brink of falling apart, and he seemed to have found the feeling he had when he planned with Qin Shi Huang to unify the Six Kingdoms. In the depths of his heart, he has regarded Fusu as his spiritual sustenance. Now Fusu insists on attacking the Xiang camp in Jiangdong alone, which in his opinion is tantamount to suicide. Watching Fusu's car drive away, Li Si felt that his heart was torn apart.

After a long time, Li Si slowly walked to his car accompanied by the guards.

After Fusu left Xianyang, he went straight to the Lantian camp, and at sunset, Fusu's car arrived at the Lantian camp under the escort of two thousand elite soldiers. The commander of the army, together with Han Xin and Peng Yue, greeted the arrival of Fusu at the camp gate.

This is the first time since the Fusu Prison State went to the Lantian camp, and the camp that stretches for dozens of miles is like a tiger entrenched on the Guanzhong Plain. The military tents were neatly arranged in the camp, shining in the sunset, but there were not many soldiers in the camp at this time, because most of them had already gone north to Hanoi.

When Fusu's car stopped at the camp gate, Han Xin and the others immediately greeted him. I saw Fusu walk out of the chariot and jump directly to the ground. Han Xin and the others came over, handed Li Si's letter to Han Xin, and said straight to the point: "Han Xin, how is the iron horse I let you train?"

"Yu Gongzi, you already have the strength to fight."

"Why don't you let them practice here, and let me appreciate their fighting power," Fusu said, pointing to a large clearing in the camp.

"No" Han Xin ran away after receiving the order.

In the early days, trumpets sounded in the camp, and groups of cavalry gathered from all over the place. A moment later, they assembled in the open space designated by Fusu. After the team was assembled, Han Xin came to Fusu on horseback.

"Let's get started!" Fusu ordered directly.

"All the soldiers, line up and start the drill" Han Xin gave the order for the drill to begin.

As the drill began, the cavalry moved quickly, and suddenly the entire training ground was dusty, and the flags were rolled. The shouts of the soldiers were mixed with the sound of the war horses, completely drowning out the sound of the lieutenant giving orders, and the sky was boiling.

Han Xin looked at Fusu nervously, trying to see Fusu's attitude towards this team from Fusu's expression. However, Fusu had a black face and didn't say a word the whole time.

Just as Han Xin was about to bite the bullet and ask Fusu's opinion, he saw an accident in the training team, and a soldier fell headlong from the galloping warhorse. Fusu decisively stopped the drill and walked towards the soldier who had fallen off his horse. At this time, a military doctor had already rushed over and began to do an examination, and after a careful examination, it was found that the soldier on the ground had only broken an arm, and there was no other injury.

Han Xin looked at the soldier in front of him with an angry face, he had originally thought about showing his face in front of Gongzi Fusu today, but this kid exposed his ass all at once. Seeing that Han Xin was about to scold the soldier in front of him, Fusu glared at Han Xin, and Han Xin had no choice but to give up his plan to scold the soldier in front of him.

"What's your name, it's all right?" Fusu asked with a pleasant face.

"Yu Gongzi, in Xia Li Er, I just broke an arm just now, and it's no big deal. I don't know what's going on, but the war horse that was running well suddenly fell headlong, and the little one fell off the horse before he could control it. That's what disturbed Childe, and asked Childe to atone for his sins," the soldier replied with his arms folded and fearful.

"You go and bring that horse over," Fusu said to the lieutenant standing next to the wounded soldier.

After a while, I saw the captain leading a horse slowly towards Fusu, the horse limped very slowly, Fusu walked to the horse and carefully examined it, and was surprised to find that there was not a single horsefoot on the horse's four hooves.

"Where's the horseshoe?" Fusu asked suspiciously, looking at the captain who was leading the horse.

"What horseshoe" Captain was also confused.

Fusu instantly understood that the Qin Dynasty did not have the habit of nailing horses, because the horseshoe technology was not introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions until the Song Dynasty, and large-scale use was not until the Yuan Dynasty. He has been thinking about building the Great Qin Iron Horse, but he never thought that he would miss such an important thing. Fusu looked at the wounded soldier in front of him with some guilt.

Fusu directly dismissed the training sergeants, returned directly to the camp tent, took out pen and ink on the silk towel to draw a sample of the horseshoe and horseshoe nails, and then found a wooden board to cut out the model of the horseshoe and horseshoe nails, and handed them over to Peng Yue. Then he explained to Peng Yue:

"Tomorrow, you will rush back to Xianyang with the sample drawings and models, and let the Daqin Ordnance Institute make 50,000 horseshoes and enough horseshoe nails within ten days. When you're done, you come back with a horseshoe and five hundred craftsmen."

After solving the matter of the horseshoe, Fusu shifted his gaze to Han Xin. Judging from today's drills, many problems have indeed been exposed: cavalry training is still carried out in accordance with the mode of training infantry, and the way the captain transmits military orders is basically based on passwords, and it is easy to be drowned out by other voices on the battlefield, and new armaments such as scimitars and saddles are not used. According to the combat effectiveness that Fusu saw today, to raid Jiangdong, it really can't be called a surprise attack, but an open fire to attack the city.

"Han Xin, there are too many questions!" Fusu looked at Han Xin and said frankly.

In fact, the Great Qin cavalry has changed a lot under Han Xin's training, but it can't be reflected in front of Fusu. After all, this demon essentially came from two thousand years later, and the knowledge base about cavalry already has the existence of the ceiling of the Great Han Iron Cavalry and Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry. Naturally, he didn't look down on Han Xin's contributions.

This is like an exam, you are used to seeing a student with high scores, and occasionally seeing a scumbag take the test from 60 to 70, naturally there will not be much reaction. If Han Xin knew Fusu's secret, he would definitely cry and faint in the tent. Since Fusu sent him to the Shangjun camp to train the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, he had tried his best. I have used almost all the methods I can think of, and my combat effectiveness has indeed improved a lot, so why is it worthless to go to Gongzi Fusu.

"You can do it," Han Xin muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Tomorrow you will gather all the captains, and I will tell you the essentials of cavalry warfare."

"No," Han Xin replied, resisting the urge to laugh.
