A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 376 Kou can go, so can I
Zhang Liang hurriedly came to the palace with the memorial. The palace attendant hurriedly went to report, and soon he saw a waiter coming.

"Prime Minister, His Majesty orders you to enter the palace!"

Zhang Liang tidied his clothes and then followed the waiter into the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, Zhang Liang felt a warmth enveloped him. Compared to the former emperor's frugality, Wang Jing paid more attention to enjoyment.Of course, this is not a big deal, after all, the economic methods in the academy have already been explained.

The court's expenses are also giving ordinary people and businessmen an opportunity to make money, as long as they are not wasted wantonly.

"Zhang Qing is here, please take a seat." Wang Jing put down the memorial and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have summarized the patterns of Xiongnu invasion in recent years and found that the Xiongnu army is likely to move south in the near future!" Zhang Liang said respectfully.

"The Xiongnu army is heading south? Is there any information?" Wang Jing's eyes lit up. He was not worried about the coming war. Instead, he looked eager to try.In the past, it was difficult for the Huns to win a decisive battle if they were scattered on the grassland. Now they are heading south. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Your Majesty, I have searched the climate conditions in the North in the past three years and found that in recent years, snowfall in the North has increased and the weather has been cold. This year, snowfall occurred in September. Obviously, it will be even colder this year.

The Hu people live in pursuit of water and grass, and need to raise a large number of cattle and sheep. Snow falls in September, and many Hu people have no time to store enough hay. There is not enough hay, and the cattle and sheep cannot survive the winter. If they want to survive, they can only go south to plunder. "

"I have checked the frequency of Xiongnu raids this year and found that the number of Huns raids has doubled compared to before. Even if the Xiongnu royal court can endure it, small and medium-sized tribes will definitely not be able to bear it!"

Wang Jing looked through the report in his hand, which clearly listed the situation in the border areas in recent years.After reading the intelligence, Wang Jing also had a premonition that the Huns were going south.

Wang Jing thought about it seriously, and he knew very well that this was not a small battle or a battle. If their deduction was not wrong, what they needed to face next was a national war.

A national war between the grassland empire and the farming empire.

"What does Zhang Qing think we should do?" Wang Jing asked.

"Your Majesty, I think we should hold the city tightly, fortify the walls and clear the countryside, allowing the Huns to attack, and wait until they are exhausted before going out to fight. We will definitely defeat them in one battle!"

Zhang Liang said.

Although Zhang Liang is not a general, he is still very good at controlling strategy. Without the three treasures of cavalry, Zhang Liang's strategy would have been the best.

The cavalry of Daqian is not as good as the Huns, and the infantry cannot catch up with the Huns. The best way is to rely on city defense, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, so that the Huns cannot grab anything, force them to attack the city, and then counterattack.

But Wang Jing didn't want this. With this kind of defensive counterattack, the initiative in the war was entirely in the hands of the Huns. The Huns could fight if they wanted to, and they could just withdraw if they didn't want to fight. Even if Daqian killed some Huns, the results would be very few.

In the past, the cavalry was inferior to humans, so Wang Jing had no choice but to accept it. Now that he has the three treasures of cavalry, and even [-] cavalry, how could he fight such a battle again!
"Zhang Qing, I think we should take the initiative and teach the Huns a lesson!" Wang Jing said.

"Your Majesty, the Huns are skilled in bows and horses, and they come and go like the wind. Although my generals are brave, they cannot catch up with them at all. If we force ourselves to fight, we will only be led by others. If we are not careful, the whole army will be in danger of being destroyed. "Zhang Liang quickly persuaded.

He was very worried that Wang Jing would command the army to go into battle, and then, in his youth and vigour, his food and grass would be cut off by the Huns. At that time, hundreds of thousands of border troops would be in danger.

Wang Jing laughed and said: "Zhang Qing, you are worrying too much. It doesn't matter that the Huns are skilled in bows and horses and come and go like the wind. My Daqian cavalry can do the same!"

"So what about the Huns!"

"Kou can go, I can go!" "Your Majesty!" Looking at the arrogant emperor, Zhang Liang was a little panicked and quickly wanted to continue persuading him.

Wang Jing stood up and stepped forward and said: "Zhang Qing, don't worry, I'm not talking big words!"

Zhang Liang is also a very smart person. He quickly thought of the report he saw not long ago and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, have you trained an elite cavalry that is not inferior to the Huns?"

"Zhang Qing, just come and see with me and we'll find out!" Wang Jing pretended to be mysterious and led Zhang Liang out of the hall, then to a school grounds in the palace.

Zhang Liang followed closely behind. The three treasures of the cavalry were kept secret because of Wang Jing's orders. Even the allocation of materials, money and food was handled by the internal minister Wang Jing, and the execution was supervised by the craftsman.Zhang Liang only knew about the specific situation of material transportation but did not know.

In order to keep it secret, the created cavalry three treasures have never been equipped, and they did not change their equipment on a large scale in the near future until the number was almost reached. The cavalry team's ability to adapt to the cavalry three treasures is very short. It only needs a simple adaptation, and the riding skills will be greatly improved. Amplitude increase.

Soon the group of people came to the school grounds in the palace. At this time, there were more than a dozen knights on the school grounds.

Wang Jing signaled, and saw those knights immediately began to move across the school grounds, constantly performing various difficult movements. These dozen knights quickly practiced war, and also performed superb mounted archery.

Judging from their performance, they are all elite.

Zhang Liang watched the performance of these knights and then said: "If your Majesty has tens of thousands of these elite cavalry, he can indeed attack and fight against the Huns, but how can it be so easy with such elites?"

"Zhang Qing, you will know if you take a closer look at them!" Wang Jing said with a smile, and asked his attendants to bring the cavalry over for Zhang Liang to watch.

As the cavalry approached, the saddle and stirrups on the horse immediately attracted his attention. Zhang Liang was also a master of horse riding. When he saw these two things, he felt a flash of lightning flash in his mind. After that, I immediately understood the usefulness of these two things.

"Your Majesty, can you allow me to mount the horse and give it a try?" Zhang Liang said.

"Go!"

Zhang Liang took a few steps forward, got on the horse neatly, and then controlled the horse to perform various actions. After a while, he could not hold back his excitement and walked over.

Then he paid homage to Wang Jing and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Liang, congratulates me. I have this magical weapon today and my cavalry is great. I will win this battle!"

"Hahaha! Zhang Qing, please get up quickly!" Wang Jing laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang stood up and said, but his face still remained flushed with excitement.

"You go prepare food, grass and military supplies. I must teach the Xiongnu a lesson this time!" Wang Jing said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The grain and grass army officials will personally supervise the operation, and there will never be any mistakes!" Zhang Liang said solemnly.

The emergence of the three treasures of cavalry allowed the farming civilization of Daqian to conquer the grassland for the first time.And started the pace of external expansion of the Daqian Empire.

'The enemy can go, so can I! 'Shout out the infinite pride that has been in Zhu Xia's hearts for thousands of years!
Many historians believe that the emergence of the three treasures of cavalry is like the compass before the Age of Discovery. Its appearance changed the course of history. ——"The Invention that Changed History"
