A Piece of Li Song Changting Twilight

The other three policies proposed by Qin Xiaolou, the third is to intensify military training, weed out remnants and weak generals, change the military system, no longer frequent dispatch, one general is in charge of one team, and deepen the degree of fit between soldiers; the fourth is Reform the taxation system, replace food with currency, and increase taxes for military use; Article [-] is to restore the system of farming and gradually restore the system of soldiers to improve the quality of soldiers.

These five items are all the policies he has learned from summing up his experience in history books and visiting the army for several months. However, he was still a little impatient after all. .

Naturally, things would not go so smoothly. Although Zhao Nanke had discussed the Five New Deals with him in private, arguing over various proposals for a whole afternoon, everything seemed to have disappeared since that day, and no one mentioned it again.As if things were going to end like this.

Ten days later, Qin Xiaolou went to a restaurant to buy wine, and overheard two people at a table talking.

"I heard that King Rui and General Zhang fought a big victory in Yingtian Mansion and wiped out 1 Wushu Army. It's a pity they lost another battle after that and lost 1 people."

Another man sneered and said: "The battle between Zhao Pingzhen and He Wushu was a fool meeting a fool, and the side that was not so stupid won by luck. Then they met someone who was not a fool, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out?"

Qin Xiaolou stopped walking, and couldn't help looking back at the man, only to see that his clothes were sloppy and his hair was greasy, as if he hadn't bathed in months.There are two red spots on her cheeks, and she is holding the wine jar in her arms, obviously half drunk.

The first man who spoke was startled, gestured quietly, and said nervously, "My good nephew, don't be crazy! It's terrible to be heard by the public calling King Rui's name!"

The drunk squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm so scared! I've already called him a fool, why are you afraid of calling him by his first name?"

Qin Xiaolou smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the table where the two were, and sat down talking to himself: "Brother Taiwan."

The more cautious one stared at him vigilantly, while the more profligate one holding the wine jar looked at him frivolously with squinted eyes, squinting drunken eyes and said, "You...why do you look like a bitch?"

Qin Xiaolou didn't care about his unreasonable frivolity, and smiled: "Brother, I just heard you say that Zhao Pingzhen is a fool..." He paused, the expression of the stiff one had changed, and he grinned: "I I think so too! But I still want to hear your opinion, why do you say that the battle of Yingtian Mansion was a fool meeting a fool?"

The name of this drunk was Wu Yi. He had been a small officer in the army and fought against the Jin people for several years. Later, he became lame in the battle, and his service time was over, so he returned to Lin'an City.Over the past year, because of his disability and misbehavior, he has not been able to find any work, so he has become a rascal, relying on bad income and relatives' support.

The one who called him nephew was his own uncle named Fei Yuan.With Wu Yi as a person, he has no friends around him, only Fei Yuan is willing to pay for some drinks and meals for him because he misses his younger sister who died early.

Wu Yi is indeed talented in the way of marching and using soldiers. Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of actual combat experience. He definitely has more goods in his belly than Qin Xiaolou, Zhao Kuo, who is just talking about soldiers on paper.It was rare that Qin Xiaolou was willing to listen to him, so he naturally would not refuse. He smiled cheerfully, picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp. The wine splashed on Qin Xiaolou, and Qin Xiaolou didn't even frown.

Wu Yi said: "Do you think cavalry is better than infantry? It's not that infantry can't beat cavalry, but that they can't catch up if they win, and they can't run away if they lose. It is said that victory is not complete victory, and defeat is complete defeat. Losing a battle can make the front win. I lost all ten battles! This is an unsolvable method, and I have never heard of any special strategy that Zhao Pingzhen used. That Wushu can be wiped out by Zhao Pingzhen must be his own death, not Zhao Pingzhen's cleverness. "

In order to inspire people, this battle won by Zhao Pingzhen was widely publicized in the country, as if he used a beautiful method to kill Jin Bing without leaving a single soldier.But the specific method, no one knows, and no one cares, what the people want to know is only a result.Therefore, it is indeed extraordinary that Wu Yi can think of this level.Qin Xiaolou understood what he said, but he pretended to be taught humbly and nodded, "Brother really has a good opinion."

When Wu Yi was praised by him, he felt even more proud. He sputtered more and more, and the smell of alcohol rushed to Qin Xiaolou's face: "I heard that Zhao Pingzhen sent people to burn all the food and grass of Wushu. Wushu still refused to retreat, and insisted on holding on for three days. In the end, Zhao Pingzhen opened the city to meet the enemy—ha, he went to the plains to fight the beasts of Jin Bing instead of the impenetrable Yingtianfu city wall. Didn't he take off his armor? Send it up to be hacked!"

Qin Xiaolou mused, "But Jin Bing has been hungry for three days, and the purpose of opening the city to meet the enemy is to win a complete victory."

Wu Yi said: "A wolf that has been hungry for ten days is still a wolf! The more hungry it is, the more it will eat people!"

Qin Xiaolou nodded.

Wu Yi said: "I heard that Zhao Pingzhen led [-] soldiers and thousands of people to the south, fell into the tricks of the Jin people, and killed the entire army. Hmph, this shows that he doesn't know how to use soldiers at all."

Qin Xiaolou was surprised, and said calmly, "Brother Wu, what's your opinion?"

Wu Yi triumphantly picked his feet on the chair: "When I was hanging out with Hussar General Zhang Fang, Zhang Fang was greedy for merit, and after winning a small battle, he led our brothers to chase after him, and we won. The enemy's plan to lure the enemy into deep, the army was broken up. I led three to five hundred brothers, and returned to Fancheng on a road of dozens of miles. On the way, I was attacked by golden soldiers seven times, and I beat them away every time. Haha The army brought out by Zhang Fang was almost wiped out in this battle, and the brothers I led were the only team that returned alive!"

Qin Xiaolou asked anxiously: "How did you deal with the sneak attack?"

Wu Yi said: "I let the old and weak soldiers walk on the outermost periphery with their antlers on their backs. Once they meet the cavalry, the team in the middle will quickly line up under the protection of the antlers. The cavalry has no other advantages except fast speed and strong impact. If the two sides are prepared , Only generals who know how to use soldiers will let cavalry attack the front of the infantry formation."

Qin Xiaolou wondered: "You have made such a great contribution, and you haven't been awarded because of it?"

"Contributing merit?" Wu Yan sneered and said, "The general is dead, but I am not dead. It is a good fortune not to be dealt with by the military law. Why do you say meritorious service?"

Qin Xiaolou was silent for a while, and left a silver coin on the table as Wu Yi's drink, got up and said: "Brother Wu, I am so late to meet you, and I want to hear more from Brother Wu, brother Wu is willing." Follow me back home?"

Wu Yi was slightly taken aback, looked Qin Xiaolou from head to toe with the corners of his eyes hanging, and said mockingly: "Little mother, do you want to have fun with the uncle?"

Fei Yuan had already seen that Qin Xiaolou was by no means an ordinary citizen, so he secretly tugged on Wu Yi's clothes corner to remind him, but Wu Yi was so drunk that he lost his eyesight, and smiled frivolously at Qin Xiaolou.

Qin Xiaolou said calmly: "Brother Wu and I will go back, and there will be a real girl for you to choose."

Fei Yuan was already sweating profusely, and tremblingly said: "My lord, my nephew is drunk, you must not be so fussy with him."

Qin Xiaolou glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him."

Qin Xiaolou took Wu Yi back to the mansion, first arranged the drunk and delirious guy to sleep in the wing room, and then sent his servants to Wanxianglou to call two beautiful girls into the mansion.

When Wu Yi woke up from sleep, he saw that he was holding one in his left arm and the other in his right hand. The fragrance of the girl's body rushed into his nose, which made him sneezed viciously.

"You're awake." A gentle male voice sounded.

Only then did Wu Yi realize that sitting in the middle of the room was a young man in green clothes, with a handsome face and an unusually handsome appearance.He thought for a while before he remembered what happened before, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "Little girl!"

Qin Xiaolou was not annoyed, he made a show of flirting with the two brothel girls, and they immediately put on their clothes and left obediently.

Qin Xiaolou said: "Since the infantry cannot defeat the cavalry, how long will it take me to train a cavalry that is stronger than the golden soldiers?"

Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Impossible."

Qin Xiaolou couldn't help frowning, and asked patiently: "Why is it impossible?"

Wu Yi said: "Training cavalry is not only about training people, but also training horses. The breed of horses is more important than the quality of soldiers."

Qin Xiaolou said: "The breed of the horse is not a problem. There is always a way to steal, buy or rob."

Wu Yi shook his head and smiled and said, "Little girl, you are thinking too simple. I used to be a horse officer in the army, how can war horses be so easy to raise? If it is so simple, how can my Damu's cavalry be so bad? Not all horses can be war horses. War horses need to be raised in high and cold places. Only when there are endless sweet springs and fertile fields for thousands of miles can tall horses be raised. Ganliang, Hetao, Hexi Corridor, and Jibei Wilderness... However, these places are all Khitan, Xixia, and Jin have been robbed, how to raise war horses?"

Qin Xiaolou's face was gloomy, and he pondered: "There... is there no other way?"

Wu Yi said: "Yes! Unite with the Khitan and attack Xixia first! Take back Hetao and other places, and the cavalry problem will be easily solved."

Qin Xiaolou was shocked.This is naturally a method, but in the face of the Jinren's aggressive offensive, it still needs a long-term plan. The most urgent thing right now is to come up with a good way to deal with the Jinbing.

He said: "Since Brother Wu is good at the art of war, I don't know what opinion Brother Wu has on how to repel the Xixia people?"

Wu Yi was not in a hurry to answer, he staggered to the table, staggered, put his hands on the table, his face was less than a foot away from Qin Xiaolou's.Qin Xiaolou could almost smell the sour smell coming from him, but he didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Hey." Wu Yi made a break, and a foul smell of alcohol came out: "Little girl, who are you?"
