After Jushu finished speaking, his eyes rested on Yuan Shu, which meant that it would be difficult for Xun You to make a decision on his own. It would be best for you to move away and take a trip to Liangzhou.
"Hey, these leisurely days are coming to an end. Okay, when are you leaving?"
Yuan Shu also understood what Jushu meant. Since he said this, it proved that the situation in Liangzhou was definitely chaotic and complicated enough, otherwise Xun You would not have sent a telegram to let him go.
"It will take some time for the troops to prepare. It may take three days or five days before they can head to Liangzhou."
Jushou thought about it for a moment. Three to five days would be really fast to gather the troops, allocate supplies and other things. This also depends on Yuan Shu's abundant supplies and Jushou's strategizing.
It will be difficult to send troops in ten and a half months.
"Well, how are you planning to deploy troops and horses?"
Yuan Shu nodded to Jushou, the timing was as he expected.
"First of all, the Guards, as your personal bodyguards, must go. In the Battle of Liangzhou, which is the first heavy cavalry battle, bringing too many infantrymen will not only be ineffective, but will also slow down the speed of the army, so the infantrymen will be there for the time being.
Don't take it, I suggest recruiting 20,000 troops from Bingzhou to form a new cavalry and go with you to Liangzhou, what do you think?"
Jushou thought for a while and expressed his thoughts. Now the battle of Liangzhou will probably become a cavalry battle in the end. If he really brings a lot of infantry there, it will probably drag down the army.
The reason why we need to form a new cavalry is that we captured Bingzhou, and enough horses were captured in the battle of Bingzhou. Forming a new elite cavalry unit will be of great use now and in the future.
.
"Can the new cavalry be formed into combat effectiveness now?
Don’t end up stealing the chicken and losing the rice.”
Although he understood that Ju Shou's idea was to train troops, the people he had to face in the battle of Liangzhou were not the princes of the Central Plains, but the foreigners and Xiliang princes who were also skilled in bows and horses.
If these people are sent over rashly, the most likely situation is that they will be penetrated directly.
"My lord, the people of Bingzhou are fierce and fierce. What they have to face all year round are these foreigners who are riding horses and archers. Therefore, in terms of single-round combat effectiveness, the people of Bingzhou are not inferior to the people of Xiliang. Therefore, it is just the right time to form the Bingzhou cavalry."
Faced with Yuan Shu's questions, Jushu had already thought of a countermeasure. The people of Bingzhou had poor real estate and had to face foreigners all year round. Therefore, they would not be frightened at all when facing the Xiliang people. They would definitely not be afraid of forming cavalry as Yuan Shu thought.
They were so weak, and even considering the Bingzhou people's hatred for the foreigners, they might be able to fight better than the cavalry under their own command.
"Okay, now that you have figured out the key, I don't have anything to say. Form the Bingzhou Cavalry and follow me to Liangzhou. In addition, I will take Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan and his Wolf Cavalry with me on this expedition.
.”
Now that Ju Shou had thought about it, Yuan Shu had no more questions and directly nodded and agreed to Ju Shou's suggestion, but he also had his own considerations.
"My lord, Zhang Liao is a surrendered general after all. Will you take him with you now?"
Although Zhang Liao has surrendered to Yuan Shu and has met Yuan Shu, the battle in Liangzhou is no small matter. There are too many variables there. If Zhang Liao is brought along, the consequences if something unexpected happens will be disastrous.
"Don't think so much. Do you not believe in your own vision? Zhang Liao is a rare and handsome person who values love and justice. If you want others to treat you wholeheartedly, you must first treat them wholeheartedly.
Others, besides, I believe in him."
Now Zhang Liao's loyalty is not low, with a full 85 points, which means that he will basically not rebel against him. Since Zhang Liao will not rebel, now that he is attacking Liangzhou, he has no reason not to take him with him.
"Since my lord insists on this, Ju Shou has nothing to say, but there is one more thing, lord."
The matter of the Bingzhou cavalry was settled, Zhang Liao and his entourage agreed, but Jushou mentioned one more thing.
"explain."
Yuan Shu was also stunned when he heard that Ju Shou had something else to ask. He couldn't think of anything else that Ju Shou could bring up now.
"My lord, I wonder if the two mistresses have ever conceived children?"
There was a flash of embarrassment in Jushu's eyes. After all, this was Yuan Shu's family matter. Logically speaking, he, as a minister, should not mess around. But now Yuan Shu has taken over so much territory, which is equivalent to half of the Han Dynasty. If he continues to
If Liangzhou, Sizhou and Yongzhou are captured, the general situation of the world will basically be determined.
As the saying goes, there are unforeseen events in the sky, and misfortunes and blessings can happen to people. Only by having heirs can Yuan Shu stabilize this power for a long time. Even if something unexpected happens to him by then, the huge power will not collapse. This is no longer just Yuan Shu's family matter.
It is a major event for all the advisers and generals of Yuan Shufang.
"This is not available yet."
Yuan Shu also understood what Ju Shou meant, so he was not angry when he asked this question.
"Then my lord, you may have to work hard. If it doesn't work, my lord, just marry a few wives. The young lady you sent to me for your wedding is also a beautiful woman with a clean family. It is also very important for you to spread your business."
Jushu thought for a while and felt that it might be difficult to rely only on the two mistresses Cai Wenji and Linglong, so he suggested that Yuan Shu cast a wider net and focus on training.
"I'll consider this myself."
After hearing what Jushu said, Yuan Shu actually rejected it in his heart. After all, he was not an ancient, but a thoroughly modern man. He did not agree with marriage without emotion. Marrying Cai Wenji was the inevitable trend and there was nothing he could do about it. Now he was asked to cast a wider net. He
It's hard to accept.
"Okay, then I hope my lord will work hard."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Jushu knew that he refused. He had nothing to say. After all, this was a family matter and he was just a minister. It was too much to want to get involved in Yuan Shu's family affairs.
"Well, if nothing happens, go down and prepare for dispatching troops."
"promise."
Jushou clasped his fists and left Yuan Shu's living room, boarded the carriage,
"Go to Master Yuan Ji's residence."
Jushu was not someone who gave up easily. Since he could not take care of Yuan Shu's family affairs, he had no choice but to find someone who could take care of Yuan Shu.
"promise."
The young man whipped his horse whip and drove Ju Shou towards Yuan Ji's residence.
It didn't take long for Jushou to arrive outside Yuan Ji's mansion.
"Sir, Mr. Jushu is asking for an audience outside the house."
Yuan Ji was reading a book at home and was stunned when he heard what his subordinates said. You must know that since he arrived in Jizhou, he has cultivated his mind and has no intention of serving as an official. He also lives alone and has no private communication with the civil and military personnel under Yuan Shu.
After all, these people are Yuan Shu's confidants, and he doesn't want to attract criticism.
