No matter what means Tang Yin used to convince Xiaona, Feng Guo and Besa finally reached a consensus. Clubbing)
The Feng Kingdom exchanged 80,000 military horses and 80,000 sets of heavy cavalry equipment provided by Bessa on the condition that the two counties of Ningbei were completely tax-free to Bessa merchants and opened the city of Tia.
The value of the 80,000 war horses and 80,000 sets of equipment provided by Besa can be described as astronomical figures. However, the tax exemption in Ningbei County and the opening of Tia can also be long-term profits for Besa. It is difficult to say that here
Who took advantage of whom in this transaction?
In the past, Feng State had hoarded Besa's heavy cavalry equipment and also formed a heavy cavalry corps. However, the number was too small and it could not exert its power even if it was forced onto the battlefield. It has been left in Yancheng and has not been used. But now it has eight
The configuration of ten thousand cavalry is enough for Feng Kingdom to form a real cavalry army.
Everyone in the Feng** party attaches great importance to this matter, and the commanders of each legion are also eyeing the cavalry legion that is about to be established. No matter which legion they put these 100,000 cavalry in, their combat power can be qualitatively improved.
.
However, Tang Yin did not plan to allocate the 100,000 heavy cavalry formed to the existing legions, but decided to establish a new legion.
Feng Kingdom currently has eight legions: Pingyuan, Sanshui, Chifeng, Direct, Tianying, Huwei, Feilong, and Feiyu. For the cavalry legion, he did not bother to name it and directly named it the ninth legion based on its ranking.
As for the candidate for the army commander, he has not thought about it yet. In his mind, Ye Tang, Gao Yu, and Qi Heng are all qualified.
Ye Tang and Gao Yu are both talented people, their loyalty is unquestionable, and both of them are both civil and military. However, compared with Qi Heng, their abilities are still slightly insufficient, but Qi Heng is Mo Ren, and Tang Yin cannot fully treat him.
of trust.
Besa cannot provide all the 80,000 heavy cavalry to Feng Country at once. They need to be mobilized in batches from various places in Besa and then transported to Feng Country. This just gave Tang Yin enough time to think about it.
For the sake of the legion commander, he specially consulted Qiu Zhen several times. The latter reminded him that Feng Kingdom had never set up a cavalry legion since the founding of the country, and what was set up this time was a heavy armor that was extremely fierce on the battlefield.
The cavalry regiment is a top priority. The commander of the regiment may not be the strongest, but his loyalty to the Feng Kingdom and the monarch must be the highest. Qiu Zhen said this, which was tantamount to rejecting the candidate Qi Heng.
After thinking about it carefully, Tang Yin also felt that what Qiu Zhen said made sense. If Qi Heng was eliminated, it would be easier to decide on the candidate for the army commander. Ye Tang and Gao Yu were equally capable, so no matter who they chose, the effect would be similar.
With a candidate in mind, Tang Yin even reminded Ye Tang and Gao Yu face to face in court, asking them to learn the Besa language as soon as possible. At the same time, he also looked for opportunities to learn from Xiaona and the Besa general Duo who came to Feng Country with her.
Please tell me about the strategy and tactics of heavy cavalry.
Tang Yin said this, although he did not directly explain that he appointed Ye Tang and Gao Yu as the commanders of the cavalry regiment, but the meaning was already tacitly understood. Qi Heng, who was also in the court, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and tensed his body.
Tight.
He was confident that his ability was far superior to that of Ye Tang and Gao Yu, but the king would rather choose these two as cavalry regiment commanders than himself, simply because he was not a wind person, so how could he be willing to do so.
The anger was stuck in his chest, almost suffocating him. He subconsciously glanced at Guo Jue on Wen Chen's side with the corner of his eye. At this time, Guo Jue happened to look towards him, smiling, and at the same time signaling Qi Heng with his eyes.
Stay calm and don't rush.
Guo Jue didn't have a favorable impression of Qi Heng, but as a Mo native and serving as an official in the Feng Kingdom, he had no choice but to be with Qi Heng. In fact, he also hoped that Qi Heng could win the position of commander of the heavy cavalry corps.
, In this way, Mo Ren's status in Fengguo's court will be greatly improved, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed, otherwise a bad person will not only not get the position he wants, but also very likely to attract people.
The calamity of death.
After the dynasty was over, Qi Heng caught up with Guo Jue outside the palace and got into his carriage. Qi Heng finally showed his anger on his face, angrily pounded the car floor and said angrily: "Sir, tell me, I
How do Qi Heng compare with Ye Tang and Gao Yu?"
Guo Jue smiled and reminded calmly: "Why is General Qi so angry? In any case, Generals Ye and Gao saved your life. It is always wrong for you to hate your savior."
"One horse, one horse!" Qi Heng said in a deep voice: "Ye Tang and Gao Yu did save me. If they were in trouble, I would risk my life to save them. What's more, I'm so angry
It's not the two of them that are worried, it's the anger..." He didn't dare to say the following words.
Guo Jue smiled leisurely and pointedly pointed out: "You are angry with the king."
Qi Heng shuddered, subconsciously raised the curtains, looked out of the car, and then grinned and said: "Mr. Guo Jue, you can't say this nonsense!"
Guo Jue still had a relaxed face and said: "Actually, there is only one reason why the king did not choose you, but generals Ye and Gao!"
"Because I'm not a Feng Ren!" This was what Qi Heng was most angry about.
"Tsk!" Guo Jue clicked his tongue dissatisfied, and said seriously: "Your Majesty is the monarch who has the least sense of hierarchy and race that I have ever seen or heard of. How about General Zuo Shuang? He is not a Feng man, but he has done it.
Commander of the army? When we get closer, how about General Qingyu? He is also from Mo, but now he is also the commander of an army."
Qi Heng took a breath, his face turned red, he patted his head and said, "I made a mistake. But why did the king choose Ye Tang and Gao Yu instead of me this time?"
"There is only one reason." Guo Jue analyzed calmly: "Feng Kingdom has never had a cavalry regiment in its history, let alone heavy cavalry. Its significance even exceeds the legion itself. It can be regarded as the key to the rise and prosperity of Feng Kingdom.
sign, so the person chosen as the commander of the legion must be the person the king trusts the most, and you, General Qi, are obviously not as trustworthy in the king’s mind as the two generals Ye and Gao.”
"Since I defected to the Feng Kingdom, I have been loyal to the king without any second thoughts. I can swear an oath to this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Guo Jue waved his hands repeatedly and said: "General Qi, these words are of no use to me. The most important thing is to let the king understand!"
After all, it still doesn't work! Qi Heng is a little frustrated. If he is not capable enough, he can still work hard to perform in front of the king and make himself better than anyone else. But how to show loyalty? That requires a long period of getting along as a foundation.
, you can’t let yourself dig out your heart, right?
Guo Jue saw Qi Hengda pulling his head like an eggplant beaten by frost. He smiled lightly and asked, "Does General Qi really want to get the position of commander of the cavalry corps?"
"Of course!" Qi Heng blurted out, and then said helplessly: "I'm afraid, I can only think about it."
"That's not the case either."
Qi Heng's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
Guo Jue stretched out two fingers and said: "General Qi needs to do two things. One is to let the king see your loyalty; the other is to please the fourth lady." The fourth lady he mentioned refers to Xiao Na.
"Oh?" Qi Heng did not understand Guo Jue's words immediately.
Guo Jue whispered: "The fourth lady is Princess Besa, and she is very familiar with heavy cavalry. If the fourth lady is willing to speak good words for you in front of the king, it will be worth a thousand words from others."
Well, that makes sense! Qi Heng nodded as he thought about it. After pondering for a while, he asked again: "But how can I let the king see my loyalty, and how can I please the fourth lady?"
"Actually, these two things can be combined into one thing." Guo Jie suppressed his smile, lowered his voice and said, "The key is whether General Qi dares or not?"
Looking at Guo Jue with a strange expression, Qi Heng provoked Lingling to tremble and said hurriedly: "Sir, you won't ask me to do something that would be embarrassing to the king and his wife, right?"
"Of course not." Guo Jue said quietly: "On the contrary, I asked you to eliminate the hidden dangers that threaten the king and his wife."
Qi Heng became more and more confused as he listened. He scratched his hair irritably and said anxiously: "Sir, if you have something to say, just say it."
Guo Jue said: "The Fourth Madam is very active and restless. As far as I know, since Madam married to Feng Country and moved to Yancheng, she often goes out to play. However, you must know that there are many dangers in Yancheng. If you want to do harm to the King, you may even think of causing death.
There are many people who have killed the king. There may not be a chance to attack the king, but the opportunity to attack the wife is very easy to find. If General Qi can suddenly appear when the assassin assassinates the wife, save the wife and kill all the assassins,
Not only can it prove the general's loyalty to the king, but it can also save his wife's life."
That's right, why didn't he think of this method? Qi Heng suddenly became energetic, but then he thought about it and wondered how could it be such a coincidence that such a good thing could happen to him? He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr.
Ah, I can't sneak around and stalk Madam all day long, right?"
Guo Jue was happy and said: "It is impossible for the general to know the wife's daily schedule, but it is easy to know once. There are many Mo country rangers lurking in Yancheng, and the general is from Mo. He wants to contact these rangers.
It is not difficult to kill a soldier."
Qi Heng finally understood what Guo Jue meant. His expression suddenly changed and he said in surprise: "Sir, what you mean is..."
"Opportunities are never waiting for you, but you have to create them yourself." Guo Jue blinked his eyes and said with a sinister smile: "Collude with assassins, assassinate the wife, and then kill the assassins and save the wife. These things, the general is completely
It can be done with one hand.”
Oh my god! Qi Heng broke into cold sweat and looked at Guo Jue in disbelief. Such a weak scholar could actually say such shocking words without changing his expression. He stammered: "This... this is...
I’m going to lose my head…”
"Wealth can be found in danger!" Guo Jie said: "As long as the general does things secretly and leaves no one alive afterwards, who can know what the general did in secret?"
