Chapter 4 Tiger and Wolf (Nine)

"Good! Great Good!" Before he finished speaking, Zheng Renhui was already laughing and tugging his hands.,: .

For the same thing, I, Wang Jun and Guo Wei, all I see are all about interests. But what Guo Rong, a younger generation, sees is whether this matter should be or not?

Therefore, Fu Laolang's plan of disagreement made Wang Jun alert, embarrassing himself, and made Guo Wei hesitate for a while. When he arrived in front of Guo Rong, it became extremely simple and ridiculous. He didn't need to think about it carefully, and he broke it all at once.

"Jun Gui, you can always refresh your father!" Before Guo Rong expressed his humility, the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor Guo Wei followed suit. Before that, he also hoped that Chai Rong could take the initiative to reject the Fu family's proposal. However, he never expected that Chai Rong's reason for refusing was so clever and so righteous that no one could find any "hair" problem!

A wife who is a wife who is not in charge will not leave the court. Although morals have been declining in this era, the fact that "wealth is easy to get along with, and wealth is easy to change wife" has become common. There are many examples of ordinary men who beat the original wife out of the house in order to climb to a high school or to use external forces to sweep their original wife out of the house. However, a wife who is a wife who is a wife who is a wife who is still a moral standard recognized by ancient and modern times. It is impossible and has no courage to criticize her. No matter whether she is a wife or a prince or a prince, or an imperial family, they cannot place their authority above them.

The "daughter" of the Duke of the Kingdom is even more wise. It not only makes Fu Laolang feel respect, but also makes his wishful thinking completely fail. Even though he knows that in this era, a man can marry a fair wife in addition to his wife, and he has no face to bring the proposal of marriage to the table.

"You can be a general or a minister!" Zheng Renhui always doesn't care about praising the young people he admires. What's more, Guo Rong's answer just now accidentally drags down the most serious crisis within the Guo family so far, and even resolves it invisibly.

This time, Guo Rong finally started the conversation in time, "Uncle Shi, father, what are you two doing? It's so good, why are you suddenly praising the child endlessly?"

"Haha, I should praise you, I should praise you, and I am more expensive than my family. The sons of the other families are all pigs and dogs!" Guo Wei didn't have the courage to tell his previous worries to his adopted son, touched his gradually bulging belly, and smiled and nodded.

"I and Ling Zun thought Fu Laolang was not easy to offend, so they wondered whether you would let you bite the bullet and marry her 'daughter'." Zheng Renhui's face was bigger than Guo Wei, and he quickly made up a proper reason. "I didn't expect that you solved a troublesome thing so easily and could leave Fu Laolang speechless."

"I dare not take credit for my contributions. The reason why I dare to speak with my back is that my adoptive father has enough strength and the great reputation of the uncle!" Chai Rong smiled slightly and responded skillfully.

"Ah? Haha, hahahaha..." Zheng Renhui's old man comforted him and laughed happier.

Knowing etiquette, being "ethical" and having responsibility, and knowing how to advance and retreat, who would be unhappy if such a junior would see it? Even if his response to the Fu family just now was not sincere, his ability to adapt is enough to make people amazed. He has no grudges with him, so why should he deliberately make things difficult for him like Wang Xiufeng?

"Jungui doesn't need to be too humble. He can accumulate today's strength for his father, and half of it is also yours!" There is nothing that makes him happier than a father who sees his son's future. Guo Wei 'rubbed' his stomach and added loudly. "Okay, let's not talk about this today. Let's reply to the letter from the Fu family. Let's talk about our own affairs. Have the caravans heading south returned safely this year? How about tea, silk and erectus, etc.?"

"We are back. Although Jiangnan is not peaceful, the trade routes have not been cut off." When it comes to business matters, Guo Rong is familiar with them. "The lacquerware and wooden ware in Bianliang are well sold in Jiangnan. The skin of the northern part is even more popular in Jingchu. Therefore, the tea and silk that have been stored in the warehouse in spring are 20% more than last year. Taking advantage of the warm weather, the child is preparing to send someone to go out to the frontier as soon as possible. If it goes well, our family will be able to train two more battalions of cavalry in autumn."

The cavalry system is slightly smaller than that of infantry, and the number of cavalry in one battalion is usually 400, but the war horses and horses required by the cavalry in one battalion are as high as 1,200. Otherwise, the cavalry will be just a useless empty shell and will not guarantee any combat effectiveness at all.

Therefore, under the command of the princes of the Central Plains, the cavalry is definitely a gold-swalking beast that is expensive, has luxurious training and maintenance, and consumes huge daily necessities. If it were not for its many advantages such as sharp attacks, rapid movements, and long-term deterrence distances, few would definitely be willing to raise them.

But as long as a cavalry team of appropriate size is "trained" into "element" skills, it is equivalent to getting a long sword of the Heavenly Reclining Sword, which can slay dragons from above and kill dragons from below, and gallop around the world and the north.

As an old army who has experienced many battles, Guo Wei certainly knew the importance of cavalry. After hearing Guo Rong's affirmation, he immediately turned his attention from money and food to the formation and training of cavalry. "Are there too many battalions? Are you sure? Jungui, if you lack strength, it doesn't matter if you form a battalion less. Li Shouzhen just awarded the head, and the Khitan side was also seriously injured. He is the father who should not lead troops to fight in the past two years!"

"Not too much, not too much. What I am planning to form another type of cavalry, not the original type. The horse breeds needed do not need to be too good, and there is no need to supply too much 'fine' materials!" Guo Rong nodded and responded with a smile.

"Oh?" Zheng Renhui was also attracted by interest and came over with a curious look on his face.

"It's a long story, Uncle Shi, Grandpa, let's eat something first, and then listen to the child's report slowly!" Chai Rong had long expected that the two old men would be attracted to this topic, so he smiled again, got up and went to the door to urge the refreshment.

Soon, the soldiers delivered the newly cooked red bean and rice porridge. Guo Rong personally served half a bowl of them for both elders, and ordered people to put a few rare fruits transported from Jiangnan. While asking Zheng Renhui and Guo Wei to enjoy them, they slowly explained: "It is the fresh method created by the third brother of the child, using cavalry as infantry. Or in other words, infantry riding on horses. Grandpa, you should have seen it in Uncle Chang's camp before, but there was no field battle in the river, so you did not notice the advantage of this cavalry!"

"Hmm? I think I've seen it! Chang Kegong always likes to hide his skills!" Guo Wei frowned and thought. As expected, he found the kind of cavalry described by his adopted son in his memory. But the fact is just as the adopted son said, the battle in the river was all about the attack and defense of the city, and the cavalry had no chance to play a role, so he just glanced at it quickly and ignored it, and did not take this strange cavalry too much.

"This kind of cavalry uses Shiwei horses, which are cheap and have strong weight-bearing ability. Although they run a little slower, they can withstand long-distance marches, and they don't lose much weight when eating hay in winter!" Chai Rong raised his fingers one by one, counting the advantages of Mobei horses one by one.

"Oh!" Guo Wei put down his bowl and nodded seriously.

The amount of horse feed for a war horse is usually more than three to four times the amount of a infantry ration. If you can find a horse that only eats hay, the amount of money saved every year will be a very shocking number, which can greatly reduce the burden on food and grass supply.

"If the horse runs slowly, the impact force will be poor. But the requirements for cavalry cavalry will also be reduced. If thousands of cavalry are concentrated in one place and push them layer by layer like infantry, there is no need for impact force at all. Just hard milling can also crush the opponent into powder!" Chai Rong clenched his extended fingers one by one, and finally clenched into a fist, gently smashing the table.

"Dong!" He didn't use much effort, but made the two old corpses Guo Wei and Zheng Renhui lean back at the same time. "Hiss-" Immediately afterwards, the two old men sucked in unison, and their faces changed drastically. "Even such a tactic, even the Khitans have never used it? Are you really sure it is feasible?"

Thousands of cavalry, holding spears, were carried by war horses like walls. The scene could be described as a breach from the Tianhe River. Guo Wei and Zheng Renhui have both experienced many battles. Once they close their eyes, they can imagine that terrifying scenes in their minds. However, past experience quickly told them that such cavalry can only exist on paper. In reality, no matter whether they are training or command, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

"Feable! Absolutely feasible! Third brother told me about his training method when he was in Zezhou and the reasons for doing so. The second brother of the Zhao family also wrote a handwritten letter from Cangzhou a few days ago, and praised the cavalry under Han Chongyun." If he had known that they would have such a question, Guo Rong smiled and calmly gave the answer.

There is a precedent that has been successful, no wonder Guo Rong is full of confidence! Guo Wei and Zheng Renhui quickly exchanged their eyes and nodded with a smile, "Since it is feasible, Jungui might as well give it a try!"

"Thank you, Uncle Shi and his father!" Chai Rong bowed his hand and quickly added, "Not only retraining the cavalry and infantry, but also one thing that the child wants to tell Uncle Shi and his father to know."

"What's the matter?"

"But it's okay!" Zheng Renhui and Guo Wei were still thinking about the cavalry, and they responded casually without thinking.

"The third brother of my child has been slaughtering in Cangzhou recently, and has wiped out most of the local tyrants!" Chai Rong took a light breath and added with a smile.

"The killing 'sex' is indeed a bit heavier, and it's different from him at all!" Guo Wei knew that he was talking about Zheng Ziming, and shook his head and responded casually.

If Shi Chonggui had not been unclear in rewards and punishments, and had kindness but no power, it would have been impossible for Du Chongwei to continue to serve as the head coach after a series of defeats, and then led the troops who had lost the country to surrender to the Khitan. Since Zheng Ziming was Shi Yanbao, Shi Chonggui's son, probably after experiencing the changes in the country, he learned from his mistakes, so he went to another extreme.

But it doesn't matter. The Guo family can withstand the tyrants in several places. So they provided Jungui with experience in training infantry and cavalry, and the deal was almost a loss.

"The place in Cangzhou is located at the 'intersection' of Han and Liao, and it really requires thunderbolt means to quickly subdue the local tyrants!" Zheng Renhui's thoughts were not much different from Guo Wei, and he did not take the local tyrants seriously.

Not to mention Zheng Ziming's identity as a prince in the previous dynasty, just because he is Guo Rong's brother, the rich man deserves to be unlucky. Nowadays, beating dogs depends on the owner. Guo Rong's brother is always considered a vassal of the Guo family. Those "private" salt dealers dare to openly assassinate him with the support of someone on their backs. If the Guo family does not fight back immediately, wouldn't it be a self-destructive and weak person who will be able to gain a lot of attention in the future?
