Yun Zheng stood up and picked up an empty sleeve of Zhao Min with his scabbard: "When you attacked Dali, you lost half of your arm. The reason is of course your stupidity. If you dare to kill those who are wearing monk robes, but raise
A monk who charges forward with a sword will naturally not lose an arm.
Your Majesty and the Crown Prince regard your life as a treasure, but in the Jingxi Army, you should know what level you are.
Until now, you have only learned to lead by example. This rule is more suitable for the military marquis in the Jingxi Army. The military marquis's duty is to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to fight in front of the formation. But, you can only act as the military marquis.
This guy is now in charge of the 30,000 extremely important cavalry in our army. This is simply a joke.
What is the cavalry used for? It is a sharp knife used to attack the enemy's most vulnerable points. When is it not used?
Do you expect you to bring 30,000 cavalry to fight with the Liao cavalry? Then you will be trampled under the hoofs of horses?
As for asking you to lead the six tribes of the distant village, don't you think it's a big joke? They have been living in the ice and snow for many years, dealing with cattle and sheep for many years, but you, a warrior made from the royal family's flesh and blood, can fight with them
compared to?
Are you going to lead them? You will only lead them into the land of death! Now listen to me clearly, get out, restrain your men, and wait for them to come back."
Zhao Min's face turned red, and the arm supporting the ground trembled slightly. Su Xun couldn't bear to smooth things over and said: "Commander, please calm down, General Zhao is also worried about national affairs!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "He is not worried about national affairs, he is worried that I will deliberately weaken the strength of his cavalry, and that I will dominate the army.
Zhao Min is no longer a simple soldier. The mission he has now is that of a politician. What a big joke. I was originally the leader of the soldiers in the northwest. It is inevitable that he will follow the law. It is inevitable that one family will dominate.
Do we, the Northwest Army, need to order more troops here?
I just hate politicians soiling my White Tiger Festival Hall, so I want him to get out. It’s better to expect a sow to climb a tree than to expect a politician to expand territory!”
"The general is not a politician!" Zhao Min squeezed out a sentence with a red face.
Yun Zheng sneered and said: "Zhao Wei, your military quality is pretty good. Evaluate yourself. Do you think you are qualified and able to command a cavalry team of 30,000 people? Do you think you
Are you capable enough to lead these 30,000 cavalry across the battlefield?"
"It is impossible to disobey the sacred command! You will never be able to escape it."
Yun Zheng sighed and said: "You can command an army according to your ability. This is a prerequisite for winning a war. I think it is appropriate for you, Zhao Min, to control the Imperial Forest Army now. Although the Imperial Forest Army has 50,000 people, you
I already have the ability to command these people, so when Your Majesty issued this decree, he asked me if I was suitable. I told Your Majesty categorically that no one is more suitable to lead this army than you.
But commanding cavalry is a new problem for us in the Song Dynasty. Let alone you, even Commander Di and I have never commanded such a large-scale cavalry, and our capabilities in this area are basically blank.
.
When I first established the Youth Army, I hoped to form a qualified cavalry. However, after so many years, I found that the Youth Army has now become an army only suitable for being scouts, or in other words, they are only suitable for being bandits.
The slightest difference makes a thousand miles."
Zhao Min felt much better after hearing what Yun Zheng said. He stood up and said, "Commander, who do you think can truly command this cavalry?"
Yun Zheng said helplessly: "Your deputy, Hu Balunyin! The leader of the Lunyin tribe!"
Su Xun frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the commander to do this. People who are not of my race must have different minds. Especially on the ever-changing battlefield, power cannot be controlled by others."
"This is the reason why I am angry with Zhao Min! Damn it, looking at the Song Dynasty, we can't find anyone suitable to lead a large-scale cavalry. If Zhong'e's general, Ma Jinhu, had not died in the Battle of Qingtang, the battle would have been After so many years, I might be able to manage these people, but it would be a pity for that person to die."
Zhao Min took off his helmet, scratched his head and said: "Commander, this is the condition we have now. Although the general is not that material, please allow him to continue to stay for the sake of his loyalty and reliability. Let’s take this position. I think that as long as I don’t be arrogant and consult Patriarch Hu Balunyin frequently, there won’t be any big problems.”
Yun Zheng then took a step back and sat down on the chair and said: "I'm afraid you'll say this. The cavalry is basically a pack of wolves. The leader is the alpha wolf. The leader of the pack follows the wolves. The strongest among the cavalry is respected. If you are not the most powerful, the other cavalry will ignore your existence. If you charge with the team, you will be the fastest to die. This is how they rely on strict laws of war to choose their generals.
As long as you look at Li Yuanhao and Wu Zangpang, you will know which good cavalry commander is not the incarnation of a hungry wolf?
Even the second-level Wei Ge Ning Ling is not to be underestimated. He is not as fierce and vicious as Zang Pang. Facing Wei Ge Ning Ling who has his own troops, he can only use time as a big killer to slowly and slowly Wearing away the ambitions of him and his men, rather than daring to directly kill, Wei Ge Ningling's pro-army troops were willing to follow him and be trapped at Gunzhongkou for ten years. What kind of spirit is this? I just want to think about it. It makes me shudder when I get up.
If you, Zhao Min, can make this group of cavalry follow you for three months in a difficult situation, I will consider you a qualified cavalry commander!
Even in the difficult situation outside Hequ City, Wei Ge Ning Ling was still able to survive and capture Ningbian City. If I hadn't ordered that his subordinates who could not be moved be buried alive, by the beginning of next spring, we would still be facing enemies. This must include the wolf cavalry under Wei Ge Ning’s command.”
Yun Zheng's words made Zhao Min and Su Xun stunned. In the past, they thought that as long as they had 30,000 cavalry, they could add powerful combat power to the army no matter how bad it was. However, they didn't expect the cavalry to arrive now. Instead, it became a hot potato.
"It's unlikely that the six tribes of Yuanzhai will rebel. Their tribesmen are all under Fu Bi's control. The most important reason why Fu Bi is able to control the cavalry is that he controls the families and tribes of this cavalry. The reason why I will force The purpose of taking this cavalry from Fu Bi's hands was to prevent them from causing trouble to Xiao Qiang.
As long as the hands of this cavalry are stained with the blood of more Liao and Xixia people, they will have no choice but to obey my command of the Song Dynasty. The world is so big, only we can provide them with a land to survive and cut them off. The thoughts of both the head and the rat!
Then it’s time to work hard, let their children participate in scientific examinations, participate in the selection of our Song Dynasty officials, let the people of the Song Dynasty intermarry with them, and only after they are harmonious can we truly rest assured that they can help us guard the border.
The disadvantage of this is that the cavalry will eventually degenerate into people just like you and me. Without the barbaric energy, the cavalry will lose most of its meaning."
Zhao Min chuckled and said: "Then let's catch a group of cavalrymen every few years before they have degraded and continue to tame them. Anyway, there are countless barbarians on the grassland."
"Does Bobo know?" Yun Zheng suddenly asked.
Zhao Min and Su Xun nodded at the same time. They both had a deep impression of this young man. The reason why the Song Dynasty had the fastest communication system was created by this child. He taught the young army the method of training eagles.
, it is still one of the top secrets of the Song Dynasty."
Yunzheng said regretfully: "After this little bastard learned the art of military formation from us, he returned to Liaodong and has now become the leader of a very powerful group of horse thieves among the Jurchens in Liaodong.
You see, within ten years, if this guy cannot unify the Jurchens in the East China Sea, I will pluck out his eyeballs and stomp on them!
Zhao Min, this guy is the cavalry commander I plan to tame. Now that he has escaped, he has become a big disaster. In ten years, you can wait to fight him on the battlefield!
He will appear on the border of our Song Dynasty with a group of troops that are more barbaric than the Xixia people and more disciplined than the Liao people. If you have the opportunity, do not imitate the benevolence of a woman from the overlord of Chu.
Kill him immediately, otherwise, you will wait to be killed by him!"
Seeing Zhao Min's disapproval, Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Okay, I feel much better after scolding you. Now you go back and wait for the cavalry to come back after finishing their work. Remember, since you haven't
To be able to control the entire army, don't release all the troops in your hand at once, and slowly integrate them. It is best to let Hu Balunyin continue to attack, don't give him time to rest, and don't always let him
If you lead the same army for too long and take turns attacking in the name of training cavalry, as long as you win, don't be stingy with rewards. The rewards must satisfy all of them until this guy dies in battle!"
Zhao Min nodded and walked out. He was full of anger when he came in, but he became calm when he left.
Su Xun poured a bowl of tea for Yun Zheng and said: "It seems that Cui Da won't be able to come back tonight. The snow is too heavy. The commander should have a good sleep. There will be a hard battle waiting for the commander tomorrow."
Yun Zheng stood up and opened the heavy woolen felt door curtain, looked at the pale snow flakes under the angry wind lamp and said with a smile: "There won't be any bloody battles tomorrow. The yurts and cattle and sheep of the Liao people can't survive such heavy snow.
Even those Liao soldiers holding lambs to keep warm could not survive the heavy snow, so they had no choice but to push into Xijing City."
Su Xun also looked at the heavy snow outside and said: "Do you think such heavy snow will eventually cause a white disaster?" (To be continued)
