Chapter 178 Cavalry with worrying strength

The army marched north to resist Yan State, but because of Zhongshan, it still had to detour Jinyang to head north. The heavy chariots and the baggage inside him made the march extremely slow and difficult. During this period, the urgent revelations of General Yin Qi's request for help flew over like snow, which made Zhao Xing and Zhao Yong feel extremely pressured.

"If you follow this speed, you can reach the battlefield at least half a year. This won't work. Once the turbid deer is lost, Dai County will be gone. We must speed up the marching speed." Zhao Yong also began to get anxious.

If the Yan army rushed into Dai County, then the Zhao army would be absolutely passive.

Finally, Zhao Yong decided to hand over the chariot soldiers to the deputy commander Le Qian and stay behind to continue moving forward. He and Zhao Xing took 10,000 cavalry to Daiyi on a starry night, then replenish the food and grass, and returned to Zhuolu. He first defended Zhuolu, waited for the army to arrive, and counterattacked according to the situation.

The army immediately divided its troops, and Zhao Yong and Zhao Xing led 10,000 cavalry to gallop north.

However, the 10,000 cavalry had just run away and the situation occurred. Because the mountain road was rugged and crowded from time to time. Although there were saddles and stirrups, soldiers still fell off the horse's back, and in a blink of an eye, they were trampled into meat sauce by the horse's hooves of the speeding cavalry. Before the war began, there were casualties and casualties in the marching, which made Zhao Yong, who had always had high expectations for the cavalry, feel very disappointed and embarrassed.

"I really didn't expect that such good equipment and such good treatment, after more than a year of training, the ending was still like this. It disappointed me. Did Hu Fu riding the wrong camera? Are the people in the Central Plains just chariot soldiers?" Zhao Yong muttered hatred.

Zhao Xing knew that Zhao Yong felt frustrated, and this feeling was unsuccessful, he would ruin Zhao's military reforms.

Therefore, Zhao Xing had to patiently explain to Zhao Xing: "The Zhou people are good at farming, not to mention being good at riding and shooting, even horses are rarely seen. After such a long period of training, it is already rare to allow these people to ride horses on this rugged mountain road. It is not easy for General Le Chi."

Everything the teacher said was right, which was Zhao Yong's habit that was almost perverted. "But if we marched like this, when we arrived at the battlefield, there were very few cavalrymen piled up with money left."

This is the insight, and this is the key.

So Zhao Xing thought of the dragon cavalry, so Zhao Xing suggested: "We are waiting for the troops behind here, let these precious cavalry stay behind, and let the infantry who are good at guard ride their war horses and follow us to Zhuolu. As long as these infantry who are good at guard arrive at Zhuolu, we can replace our cavalry who are not good at guard, so that the advantages of various types of troops will be played."

Zhao Yong's eyes lit up: "The teacher is right, but those infantry riding on horses will suffer greater losses."

"Bundle them on the horse, and all this will be resolved?"

This was a stupid method, but it was indeed a good method, so the army stopped and waited for the subsequent infantry to arrive. This delayed another three days.

"Sometimes, as long as the method is correct, the time spent will be rescued in disguise." Zhao Xing began to educate Zhao Yong like in the mountains without the nobles in the court. Zhao Yong was also happy to be taught this way.

"The teacher is right. Haste is not achieved. Our ultimate goal is to defeat the enemy. As long as these 10,000 infantrymen who are good at guard arrive at Zhuolu and replace your elite cavalry, we will actually have a chance."

"I am quite pleased and happy that you have such a knowledge."

"Teacher, I am no longer the ignorant 15-year-old boy. The disputes in the court have made me mature. The strange world situation in Boyun has allowed me to see further." Then he laughed: "To be honest, the teacher said that I went to the battle myself this time, not to fight for a breath, but to go directly to your Dai County to truly examine all your achievements in reform and see how it works."

Zhao Xing said indifferently: "Okay, you will be cautious, and this proves that you are truly mature. It is still the words I said to you in the mountains, hearing is false, seeing is true. I have never witnessed anything with my own eyes. Even if you are like Teacher, you should not trust the person you trust the most. For example, our cavalry, which cost countless expenses, should be the lion who swept the world in the mouth of the general. As a result, it is still glamorous outside and unbearable inside."

Zhao Yong nodded: "But fortunately, the general has not been truly proud yet. He knows the situation in his heart, so I am quite pleased with this point."

When I heard this, I was most pleased with Zhao Yong, but Zhao Xing: "If you can always keep this mentality and look at people, you will definitely be a wise ruler of the generation."

The infantry riding on horses marched north like lightning, but because there was no supply of chariots, Zhao Yong's dragon cavalry had to go to Guangxian halfway to eat and replenish.

In the blink of an eye, it has been four years since the boiled county official was replaced by a county magistrate appointed by Zhao Xing. At this time, Guangxian had regained its vitality. Not only that, it was governed strictly in accordance with the policies of Dai County, and the institutional results were much more prosperous and developed than other counties. For example, this time, it took more than half a month for 10,000 people to eat mackerels. According to the normal supply of a county, the productivity of your era is almost an impossible task unless additional exploitation of the people continues.

However, when the county magistrate who received the notice was just arrived, he stood calmly in front of the city gate to welcome the emperor and his head of the family.

Zhao Xing was not polite. After a set of etiquette, he asked straightforwardly: "Have I asked your food supply to be satisfied?"

The county magistrate replied calmly, "No."

Zhao Yong was furious at the time: "The military situation is urgent and you dare to be so lazy, and the national law is hard tolerant."

The county magistrate bowed again and said proudly: "Your Majesty, is this recruitment derived from the people's taxes or the national treasury?"

Zhao Yong said: "This time it's special, of course, the national treasury is out."

The county magistrate said, "Since that's the case, come with the money."

Zhao Yong was stunned at that time.

The county magistrate said: "If the people collect taxes, it will be completed in three days, and if the national treasury is released, it will be completed in one day."

“How do you do it?”

The county magistrate did not answer, walked to the hall and clapped his hands, and a group of subordinates ran up. The county magistrate ordered: "Issuing a notice, within half a day, a number of grain, grain, and beans are needed, and it will be purchased by Ping Jia Gaosanjin."

The subordinates immediately scattered.

Then the county magistrate walked back to the lobby: "Please beg the Lord and have a happy banquet. Half a day later, the grain and beans needed for the army and the war horses will be delivered on time." Then he said without hesitation: "I also see that the Lord and the Lord did not carry gold and silver, so please pay and deduct it from this year."
