Section 145 Xiaoyaojin

"Oh, I'd like to hear it carefully." Jiang Feng's expression remained unchanged. Although it was his own idea to build a cavalry that belonged to Huaiyou, he was not a man who could not listen to others. Luo Ye and Zhao Wenshan were both powerful generals in Heshuo, so it must be reasonable to say this.

"Your Majesty, cavalry and infantry are different. One of the biggest problems is their way of traveling. Infantry walks on two legs. This person is born with two legs, so there is no need for training, so it will naturally happen. But cavalry is different. The problem that cavalry needs to solve is the problem of riding a war horse. For an ordinary passenger, it may be enough to learn to ride a horse or even travel smoothly. However, as a cavalry, this is far from enough. It is rare or a certain talent to have a riding talent in three to five years. Ordinary people must truly achieve riding proficiency and be able to escape the reins of both hands without being affected. At least six to eight years, that is, six to eight years of training can be fully competent for basic tactical movements such as chopping, chopping, cutting, stabbing, wiping, and picking on a war horse...."

Luo Ye explained it very thoroughly. He is worthy of being a member of everyone. The content he tells is easy to understand and detailed and appropriate.

"For someone, a horse farm in his family, he started riding horses since he was a child. He started riding horses at the age of nine. He started to learn weapons on horses at the age of fourteen. He was considered to be a qualified cavalry at the age of sixteen. He was not considered a truly skilled horseman until he was twenty years old. But if he became a qualified cavalry, he would only dare to say that after he was twenty-five,..."

"For example, north of the Huai River, there are no good horses, and there are not many people familiar with equestrians. For ordinary soldiers, if they want to turn them from infantry to cavalry, their age is over the most suitable time to practice riding. In addition to those who have a good foundation in martial arts, it is difficult for others to achieve satisfactory riding standards even if they spend three or five years..."

"For example, in the north, especially in the areas north of the river, they produce horses themselves, and most people started riding horses when they were young. Most people were forced to make a living, grazing for people or acting as caravans, and they were inseparable from horses. Outside the Great Wall, whether Hu or Han people, they lived on horses for years. So why did the Hu people have the most obvious advantage in cavalry? It is because they were on horseback since they were born... "

"These people are born with more than ten or twenty years of experience in riding horses than our Huaiyou Cavalry. With this, our current Huaiyou Cavalry is difficult to catch up. Therefore, our subordinates think that if we want to reverse this unfavorable situation, we should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. The soldiers can consider recruiting from Heshuo, Pinglu, Youyan and even outside the Pass. Horses can be either northwest or Youyan. With the courage of the emperor, our subordinates believe that it is no problem to recruit three to five thousand or more cavalry soldiers, especially in the current situation,..."

Luo Ye's words were quite pleasant. Both Jiang Feng and others were very comfortable to hear. However, Jiang Feng did not make a clear statement about Luo Ye's final proposal that he should find a way to enrich the Huaiyou Cavalry from Heshuo and Pinglu areas by directly poaching people.

After giving the advice, Luo Ye didn't say more. He also knew that these words were taboos. It was difficult for the local cavalry in Huaiyou to reach the best level. He had to train the source of troops from Heshuo or Pinglu. Whether this view can be accepted by the monarch is not only a matter of emotional issues, but also involves other things. Luo Ye also vaguely knew it, but he felt that he had a clear conscience.

After the discussion ended, Jiang Feng fell into deep thought alone.

The problems of the Huaiyou Cavalry need to be faced and solved. Even Qin Zaidao realized that the cavalry's military source and training needed to be changed. For those with a certain level of martial arts, this is not a problem. All problems can be overcome, but ordinary soldiers are different, and the cavalry think more about ordinary soldiers.

Luo Ye took a certain risk to make a statement. He probably would have some regrets after making the statement, worried that he would have other opinions, but Jiang Feng didn't care much about this.

As of now, the best source of troops is indeed from Heshuo. The situation in Pinglu is quite stable. If you want to recruit soldiers in Pinglu, it is far less convenient and fast than under the jurisdiction of Heshuo and Taining Army, and even the expenses are smaller.

Most of the cavalrymen in these places have been exposed to horses since childhood. Compared with many cavalrymen in Huaiyou who only come to learn horse riding after adulthood, this undoubtedly has many years of experience. This, especially when you can ride in childhood, is completely incomparable to adult learning to ride and shoot.

Qin Zaidao was able to deeply feel this point by comparing the cavalry level of the Heshuo Army and then put forward this request to himself. From this perspective, Qin Zaidao is still very broad-minded and courageous, and even dared to give up the existing Huaiyou Cavalry and turn to the Heshuo Cavalry as the foundation to establish the Huaiyou Cavalry.

Of course, Qin Zaidao also realized that if a cavalry force is composed entirely of Heshuo cavalry, it would not be conducive to Jiang Feng's control. At the same time, Luo Ye and Zhao Wenshan had too much influence on Heshuo cavalry and needed to be considered. Therefore, he also proposed very tactfully that the chaotic structure could be disrupted and some of the old Huai Right Cavalry would be retained.

Jiang Feng was not as sensitive as Qin Zaidao, and he also felt that this sensitivity was even more sensitive than his generals.

In fact, in fact, in addition to the first army, which was composed of the Gushi Army's old foundation and the Daliang Army officers, who could barely be regarded as his own direct line, even Yang Kan was also a Daliang general.

Although the other armies, the Second Army and the Third Army were led by Xu Ziqing and Zhang Yue, most of the troops came from refugees in Huaibei. The Fourth and Fifth Army were in similar situations. The navy all came from Shouzhou. The current Six, Seven, Eighty, and Nine Army were all built by the foundation of the Heshuo Army.

He knew very well that he started from scratch, neither had family background nor any other resources to help him. If he wanted to grow up quickly in this troubled world, he had to use his own power. The biggest disadvantage of this practice was that he needed to be inclusive and to use these powers for himself and gradually integrate into his own direct line. There was nothing else, that was, to use his interests to tie them to himself.

And where do the interests come from? It is that simple to take the territories in war and deprive these territories of the interests of those who are not used for their own use to meet the needs of their own interests.

Until now, I have done a good job, which has a lot to do with the fact that the forces around the Huaiyou area are not very strong, or have been greatly weakened. From this perspective, Jiang Feng even needs to thank the ant thief.

After a while, he returned to the origin of cavalry. Jiang Feng felt that he should still accept the suggestion of Qin Zaidao, Luo and Zhao to reorganize the Huaiyou Cavalry. At present, it can be formed based on the Heshuo Cavalry, but the next recruitment is not limited to Heshuo, and the Taining Army is also the focus.

The reason why we focus on the Taining Army is that since the second half of last year, the Taining Army faced an extremely difficult situation.

Due to continuous flood and drought disasters, Yunzhou and Yanzhou were originally places where people relied on the weather to make a living. In addition, the Taining Army had always been unable to manage the land, and the Taining Army's jurisdiction had always been the food of the Yin and Mao. In addition, the battle with Daliang two years ago almost completely devastated the Taining Army's finances. Although the tax was increased several times, the Yanyun area was not rich, so a large-scale riot broke out. A large number of farmers fled to the surrounding area. The Taining Army even had difficulty in eating and had to borrow from Pinglu Army and Huaibei. However, the Pinglu Army itself was not easy, and it was a drop in the bucket, and Huaibei was even more careless. Therefore, the Taining Army is almost in the most difficult period in history.

Even the news from Daliang said that Daliang Zhengshi Hall and Chongzhengyuan were discussing whether to take over Yanyun after the Taining Army collapsed on its own, and opposing the acceptance of Yanyun's opinions actually gained an overwhelming advantage, which shows the difficulty of Yanyun and the states.

In this case, it is possible to have the right opportunity to poach.

Of course, Jiang Feng thinks this can be linked to his Xuzhou strategy, which will be a systematic strategy.

"Is this Xiaoyaojin?" Jiang Feng looked at the ancient ferry in front of him with his hands on his back.

The fat water flows quietly eastward and passes around Hefei City. The terrain is flat, with many rivers and dense reeds. In spring, the branches and leaves are swaying and swaying, with a very poetic and picturesque atmosphere.

"Well, Zhang Liao fought here in Sun Wu and almost killed Sun Quan here." Yang Kan nodded.

"The east wind does not go with Zhou Lang, and the bronze birds are locked in the deepest locks on the two Qiaos." Jiang Feng casually recited Du Mu's poem and said with some sigh: "Because the north and south are always at the advantage of being condescending, our Huaiyou geographical location is under the armpit of the Central Plains of the Jianghuai River. However, if we want to make a difference, we need to break through the current constraints."

"Your Majesty is considering crossing the Huai River?" Yang Kan is the one who knows Jiang Feng's thoughts best and is also Jiang Feng's most determined supporter.

"It's still Qilang knows me. The situation in Wu is settled. I see that the battle between Li Bing and the ant thief will last for a long time. The battle in Chuzhou will probably be beyond imagination. Qin Quan is not as simple as he imagined. Maybe he will no longer be willing to be a first-class bandit." Jiang Feng said calmly: "We are just sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight against Wu, but we must have our own way to go."

The guards around were watching and looking around vigilantly. This time, Jiang Feng also came to discuss some things with Yang Kan.

Among the generals, the one with the most overall view is Yang Kan and Wang Miao. Although Zhang Ting's vision is not bad, he is happy to send out surprise troops. In terms of strategy, Jiang Feng still advocates the combination of strange and righteousness, and focuses on righteousness.
