Chapter 119 is back, that Juan King is back!

"Mr. Hua Tuo, do you have any new needs?"

Xu Zhen asked before going out. He had already agreed to talk the next day.

"No, but he said that the war is about to start, and he will wait until the king and princes talk about it later." Cao Ang immediately smiled bitterly, feeling ashamed to say this.

On the second day, Hua Tuo greatly admired Xu Zhen and praised his political affairs and style, which were like those of ancient celebrities and Confucian sages.

He did not shy away from his love for Xu Zhen, and even exchanged ideas on playing Wu Qin Xi.

After a few more days, the two became more and more intimate, and Hua Tuo even regarded Xu Zhen as his old friend.

Because the concept of longevity was exchanged again, Xu Zhen also followed Wu Qin Xi and taught Hua Tuo some Tai Chi principles.

However, on the seventh day, Hua Tuo learned about the pig method, which came from Xu Zhen's mouth.

Then he went back to the mansion with a red face and has not left the house until today.

"There is a shortage of medical officers in the army today. Let me ask you, sir, if you would like to go with the army?"

Xu Zhen sighed and said.

In his military camp, the blacksmiths were led by the Pu family, the generals were strong, the counselors were Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang gradually grew up.

And now Jia Xu will have a few words with Kong Ming anytime and anywhere. No matter what book they are reading, the two of them have something to talk about.

It seems that Jia Xu is willing to teach Zhuge Liang everything he knows and thinks, but it won't be too much trouble.

Cao Ang looked troubled, but he still nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go and ask."

"You may not be able to invite him."

Xu Zhen coughed, his face still serious and upright, and said: "Let's give it a try..."

…

Chen Liu's troops took action immediately, and Dian Wei took the lead in setting off on that night.

Xu Zhen stayed in Chenliu's military camp and waited for Xu Chu to return.

To his surprise, Hua Tuo actually agreed to serve as a military doctor, but instead of leaving with Dian Wei, he wanted to go with Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen naturally agreed to settle the old grudges on the way. The battle would last for at least several months, and it might even take up to a year.

More time to explain.

"Dian Wei has already led his army to set off. Now Chen Liu only has a thousand new cavalry left. When will Master set off?"

"Wait until Xu Chu comes back." After he said this, he said no more, Zhuge Liang stopped asking, and the entire military tent fell into silence.

Only the sound of Xu Zhen turning over the slips and checking the inventory of armaments and military conditions in various places was heard.

Xu Zhen spent an hour to issue the military orders on duty, read all the military information, and had a clear understanding of the recruitment situation in various places at this time.

After doing this, he immediately stood up and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, follow me to the blacksmith's place."

"good!"

Zhuge Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and his face became a little ugly.

He is back, the monarch who is so disciplined that it makes people tremble is back.

He didn't expect Xu Zhen to go out. He had just gone back and forth to various military camps and wrote orders for Xu Zhen himself.

It was already dark now, and Zhuge Liang thought that his master must be taking a rest. In the past, he would go home to read, practice martial arts, and spend time with his wife at this time.

I was even looking forward to closing.

I didn't expect that I would have to go out today.

[You have completed one day of military duty, and your self-discipline value +150]

"You have to continue to make up for the loss of a good night's sleep in the future."

Xu Zhen didn't feel tired at the moment, so he strode out without any worries.

Not long after, he arrived at the blacksmith's place and called Zhuge Liang to come over. He laughed in a low voice and said, "Kong Ming, you have always asked me why Dian Wei is so brave in battles, but he can stand up on a horse and fight as fiercely as if he were standing on the ground."

powerful."

"That's right," Zhuge Liang blinked, looking forward to it. Could it be that he really had some skills? It wasn't just that Uncle Dian himself was brave?

"The key lies in these stirrups."

Xu Zhen asked Pu Yuan to bring him a pair of stirrups and touched his head.

Pu Yuan is nine years old and has a very strong body. He will definitely be a master craftsman when he grows up. He has already learned a lot of detailed work on design drawings.

"This stirrup is made of iron, but Dianwei Suwei had been wrapping it with white cloth before."

"But this method is not difficult to reproduce. If the enemy discovers it, they will imitate this method and build different stirrups in the future, which is equivalent to allowing the cavalry of other princes to increase their military strength."

"So it has been wrapped in white cloth, but now in this battle, heading to Lujiang, we need to be absolutely sure and cannot hide our strength. We can no longer hide it. I will tell you in advance. If I am asked after the war, I can tell you directly. If

If no one notices it, that’s good luck.”

"I will put iron stirrups on these thousand new cavalry troops. We must not let down the war horses that Mr. Dong has found for us."

"This, this is how it is..."

Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Xu Zhen in disbelief, "Junhou You... No wonder the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's armament has been sophisticated enough over the years, but I always feel that it is not as good as the Junhou Suwei."

"Before, I occasionally heard from other generals that the cavalry in the Junhou Guards had something strange when they stepped on the stirrups. I never noticed it. I didn't expect it to be in the stirrups."

"Yes," Xu Zhen nodded, "I didn't want to hide this matter for the rest of my life, but this matter has actually been gradually suspected and investigated by people in the military, so I will no longer hide it."

"But after all, our army can also lead the cavalry. At least in this battle, we will definitely achieve great achievements."

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement and looked at the iron stirrups, which were connected to both sides of the horse's belly. The places they stepped on could make the knight more stable on the horse.

In the past, the foreign tribes, especially the Eastern Yi and the Southern Xiongnu, all used cloth stirrups. Even so, it was still necessary to clamp the horse's back with the crotch and thighs.

This is also the reason why Xiang Yu was said to be unparalleled in ancient and modern times.

After all, at that time, there were no stirrups at all, but he was as stable as a mountain on horseback. He was the champion of the cavalry at that time, and his body was inhuman.

"The intelligence of the prince is truly extraordinary."

"Kong Ming, a gentleman makes good use of his weapons."

Xu Zhen put a hand on his shoulder and said solemnly: "The weapon is not just a heresy or a trick."

"If we can make good use of the improved equipment and make the military's armament exceed the normal level, it can boost the strength of the entire army."

"Therefore, you don't have to read secretly about those books about computer craftsmen that you usually read. You can study them boldly. As long as it doesn't affect your daily internal affairs, it's not considered distracted play."

"Master!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes immediately lit up and he became more energetic. He had always thought that if he read too many books, he would be scolded.

After all, at home back then, the teacher would never let him read these heretical books. Whenever he found out about them, he would be given a lecture.

After arriving at Xu Zhen's sect, Zhuge Liang had never dared to speak openly about this matter, so when he said it today, he was even more surprised.

In particular, Xu Zhen himself used skillful craftsmen's tools to improve his military armaments. With the increase in military power, Su Wei was able to be so brave.

No wonder that although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry often have access to the most elite military equipment, they are still not as good as Xu Zhen's guard camp.

"Students understand! In the future, you must read a lot of books so that what you learn does not fall into the same mold."

Xu Zhen nodded slightly, accompanied Pu Feng and others to put the iron stirrups on the war horses, and then personally led the team to patrol the camp.

It was almost midnight before Xu Zhen came back and replaced a group of soldiers. He then went out for about ten miles and stayed for an hour to check for passing spies.

Sure enough, in Chou, when only the moonlight was dimly visible, he caught a fast horse walking alone at night on a trail ten miles away.

So he deliberately shot him dead and took his body back to the military camp, where he discovered that it was Liu Biao's spy in Xudu who had brought this letter to Jingzhou.

This letter can be found by searching, and it is nothing more than explaining the situation in Xudu at this time for Liu Biao. The only information in the letter is that the number of troops and horses is decreasing, and Cao Cao has been continuously dispatching troops from Xudu to move closer to Huaiyang.

However, the exact number was not obtained, and there was no defense map.

This scene gave many recruits a newfound admiration.

"I can really catch it..."

"No wonder we are asked to explore another ten miles. Even though we are in Chenliu territory, who would have thought that there are really fast horses traveling at night."

"This road is not a business road in the first place. There have been no businessmen for so many years. Seeing him walking like this... of course he is doing it carefully."

"Tonight, the Lord actually took us to explore the sentinel in person."

"I have nothing to say. Your Majesty is taking the lead, so why not contribute to the army?"

"In the future, we must not slack off in patrolling the sentry posts. Just follow the instructions given by the Lord today and continue to scout out a few miles away."

"In this way, we can protect the surrounding dangers and better perform our duties!"

"Okay! We won't refuse. Only by going to the battlefield like this can we survive. Fighting every night can't be against it."

"The style of self-discipline begins with the king and spreads down. Every general should be like this."

"In the future, military orders are like mountains, and efforts are like arms and fingers."
