The king behind the empress

Chapter 157 Appointed as Army Leader
Looking at Yang Yanzhang who was agitated, Mo Zizai didn't bother him. When he calmed down, Mo Zizai said: "The Yuzhi Army now has about 2000 people. My plan is to turn them into cavalry soldiers. , light cavalry in heavy armor."

"Heavy armored... light cavalry?"

These words are a bit strange, but Yang Yanzhang understood after a little thought. With the current situation of the Yuzhi army, if the cultivation base is high in the future, it is no problem to wear heavy armor instead of light armor.

But there is a problem here. People can practice and can wear heavy armor as light armor. This is no problem, but horses can't stand it.

It is already very difficult to carry people and armor, but you still want it to display the speed of a light cavalry, which is simply difficult for a strong horse.

But thinking of the red-blooded dragon Cong that Mo Zizai had asked, Yang Yanzhang suddenly felt moved, looked up at Mo Zizai and asked, "Is there any news about the red-blooded dragon cong?"

"Yes."

Mo Zizai nodded lightly. Yang Yanzhang's reaction speed was undeniable, he said, "This king has already sent someone to discuss it. If it can be negotiated, there should be no problem with the three thousand red-blooded dragons."

"Can you really get it?"

Yang Yanzhang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Mo Zizai was really sure to get the red blood dragon Cong, the red blood dragon cong that could be cultivated, plus the strange thing in Mo Zizai's hands that could speed up his cultivation...

Thinking of this, Yang Yanzhang's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and he could even foresee the future scene.

Two thousand imperial troops, all men and horses are heavily armored, each of them weighs several thousand catties, but their speed is faster than that of light cavalry. A group of iron cans crashed into them like a hurricane. Who can resist this!
This is not a heavy cavalry, this is simply a humanoid chariot, and it is the super-accelerated version. Just thinking about it now, Yang Yanzhang can't help but feel sad for Yu Zhijun's future opponents.

However, thinking that he would be the commander of this terrifying army in the future, his sorrow for his opponent was instantly replaced by excitement, "My lord, you just said that it is three thousand red-blooded dragon horses?"

"Well, that's right."

Mo Zizai nodded, and after thinking for a while, he didn't finish his sentence, "The remaining [-] kings plan to become light cavalry, and it's up to you, but they don't count as the formation of the Yuzhi Army, which will wait for your future." Just know."

"It's good to have light cavalry."

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Yang Yanzhang didn't ask any more questions, but nodded in agreement with Mo Zizai's point of view. After all, no armor is faster than heavy armor. Having a team of super fast light cavalry is also a good thing for him.

"What does the lord mean, do you intend to let me take charge of the Yuzhi Army now?"

"Ah."

Mo Zizai nodded again, and said, "Right now, the Scarlet Blood Dragon Cong Ben King doesn't exist, but it's not a problem to get [-] ordinary war horses."

"I'll send you [-] war horses first, let them get acquainted with cavalry combat methods first."

The Yuzhi army is all elite, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are skilled in bowing and horses, but being able to ride a horse and fighting on a horse are two different things, so Mo Zizai specially asked Yang Yanzhang to train them now, so as not to have to fight again in the future. It would be embarrassing to be in a hurry.

"clear."

Yang Yanzhang bowed his hands and saluted. It was not difficult for him at this time. After all, the Yuzhi Army knew how to ride horses. Now it is only necessary to teach them to form an army formation to attack. This is nothing particularly complicated, as long as you are familiar with it, you can do it. arrive.

"Remember, try to be as fast as possible."

Seeing that Yang Yanzhang agreed to come down, Mo Zizai paused for a moment, and then said: "There is not much time left for you in Nanjun."

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Yang Yanzhang was silent for a moment. With the inspector in his hand, he naturally knew what Mo Zizai was talking about.

Shi Zhipei, the censor of Zuoqian capital, was appointed by Mo Zizai to be in charge of disaster relief. He brought a group of people from Dongchang to the disaster-stricken Nanjun two days ago.

As a result, when he got there, he found that there were not only natural disasters in Nanjun, but also man-made disasters.

Many powerful families who took advantage of the fire and looted, hoarded a large amount of grain or even purchased a large amount of grain, and maliciously raised the price of grain, causing many families who had some savings to become ruined because of this famine.

However, most of the local officials have colluded with those powerful families, and some local officials are even directly their own, which makes the people have nowhere to complain.

As more and more people died of starvation, the people's grievances in Nanjun became more and more serious. In addition, it seemed that there were people with intentions to instigate and suppress them during this period, which made the people's hearts in Nanjun even more turbulent.

In Shi Zhipei's original words, the public grievances in Nanjun are like an undercurrent in the flood. Some people have seen this undercurrent, but they don't sort it out. Instead, they choose to deliberately block the undercurrent and let it grow silently. .

But we all know that the more blocked the flood, the more ferocious the eruption will be. When the public grievances accumulate to a certain extent and then ignite, the scene at that time must be earth-shattering.

"How much time is left in Nanjun?"

"I don't know." Mo Zizai shook his head first, and then explained a few words, "But it should be soon, after all, it's better to be blocked than to be blocked. The sooner this matter breaks out, the better."

Yang Yanzhang thought for a moment, then asked again: "Then what are your plans on His Majesty's side?"

"Have."

He and Tang Weiyi had already discussed the solution to this matter. At this time, Yang Yanzhang asked, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "First, before the public grievances expand to a certain extent, detonate them, and try to make things as safe as possible. within the scope of control, and then resolve it quickly."

Speaking of this, Mo Zizai looked at Yang Yanzhang, and said with a serious face: "This will be resolved quickly, and then it will depend on you Yuzhijun."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Yang Yanzhang pondered for a moment, and then gave his answer, "If it's just some disorderly people, even if there are aristocratic families secretly supporting them, and there are two thousand fully armed Yuzhi troops, no matter how many there are, they can easily defeat them. This matter is not a problem."

Hearing Yang Yanzhang's reply, Mo Zizai nodded lightly, without much surprise.

The difference between the elite regular army and the rebellious army is like heaven and earth, not to mention that the Yuzhi army is not an ordinary elite, and those who are incited are not even counted as rebellious troops. Easier.

"However, be careful of those behind the scenes. They want to take the opportunity to make trouble this time, and they will definitely not sit back and watch you quell the chaos. You must be extremely careful."

"The subordinate understands, and the subordinate will take it to heart at this time."

Hearing Mo Zizai talking about the people behind the scenes, Yang Yanzhang's expression became much more serious, because he knew better than anyone that the people behind the scenes this time were not one or two, but most of the court officials.

Some time ago, Mo Zizai sacrificed a butcher knife to kill wantonly, which really scared them, so they will spare no effort to stir up the situation this time. Even if they can't directly push the Empress and Mo Zizai off the throne, they will also let the Habayashi Army fall into it. Let Mo Zizai and the Empress no longer have the right to agree in the capital.
