Wang Ben looked a little excited, but he had learned something from his father's teachings. Judging from the current punishment of the king, it would take several more years for Meng Tian to rise. Could it be that in a few years, the Wang family would just sit around?
impossible!
As long as a powerful army is trained, elite soldiers that can be reused by the king, then the glory of the Wang family will not decline. This can also be regarded as paving the way for Li'er in the army.
"This method is good, it can be done, you just have to figure it out yourself."
Wang Jian couldn't deny it, but he was satisfied with this method in his heart. Now that he was almost fifty years old, he had been fighting in the north and south for decades, so he probably wouldn't be in the army for too long.
The next thing he has to do is to sharpen Wang Ben and train Wang Li. It doesn't matter how much credit he has received. The key is to be able to pass it on. As long as there are no mediocre and incompetent people in the family's descendants, then he will be satisfied.
"Yes, father, I will not disappoint him."
Wang Ben nodded deeply again, then picked up the wine pot and served his father.
"From today on, you will send Li'er to my house every hour until my father returns to Lantian Camp."
Holding a cup to drink, Wang Jian looked at his grandson Wang Li. There was also a young man named Zhao Tuo who appeared in Xianyang North City last night. According to reports from his subordinates, this young man was almost the same age as his grandson, but he still showed his charm.
Marquis Wu Zhen takes a fancy to the people he trains.
Thinking of this, Li'er can no longer be allowed to stay in the mansion. As a member of the general's family, he should shoulder enough responsibilities.
"yes."
Wang Benran was delighted to have the guidance of his father, which he wished for.
"Father, the king has decreed that after the opening of Changxin Academy, Meng Tian should step down from all military duties at Lantian Camp and go to Jiuyuan Camp to train cavalry."
Compared with the joyful mood in Wang Ben's heart at this moment, the hearts of brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were undoubtedly heavy at Meng Wu's mansion. In a single thought, they committed suicide at Qihong Tower and ended up like this.
The person who came to Xianyang Palace to deliver the order had already left, so I came to my father's house to discuss the details. Jiuyuan Camp is thousands of miles away from the pass and is the closest to Beihu.
In accordance with the king's edict, supplies of grain, grass and baggage, and recruitment of soldiers were all sent out from the five counties. Although the conditions were sufficient, compared with the help of the army that was about to go east, the contribution was undoubtedly not significant.
"Whether or not Marquis Wu Zhen mentioned this is not important. What is important is that the king has already agreed with it."
"Whether you go to Jiuyuan Camp, although you may miss the battle of Lantian Camp heading east from Hangu and overwhelming the Three Jin Dynasties, in the future, if the cavalry trains and goes out to defeat the Hu people in the north, it will be a big contribution."
"Moreover, if the Three Jin Dynasties are defeated, Meng Tian can also support you from the north and take credit for your contribution. This is what the king also hopes to see. It is impossible for Wu Anjun's reputation in the army to be repeated."
Meng Wu didn't have any other emotions. Over the past few years, King Yu had also been clear about his methods in the army. It was impossible for the Meng family to dominate, and it was also impossible for the Wang family to dominate.
Therefore, Meng Tian only needs to train his cavalry well, and he will be able to achieve great feats and be worthy of great responsibilities.
"Father, Meng Tian knows that he is only training cavalry, and Meng Tian is afraid that he is unable to do it."
"Meng Tian has seen the Hu people's cavalry before, but it is so fierce that the extraordinary cavalry can deal with it. Otherwise, in the entire Zhao Kingdom, there would not be only Li Mu's 100,000 frontier troops who can fight against it."
"Although there are cavalry troops in the Lantian camp, Meng Tian feels that they are not as powerful as Li Mu's frontier troops. If he wants to attack Beihu in the future, it will be useless to train ordinary cavalry."
Meng Tian nodded in response. He knew the truth of what his father said. Moreover, if the Wang family had revealed what happened last night, his crimes would not only be that.
Meng Tian was already convinced that he could train a cavalry, which would be useful in the future. However, when he thought about the key points of training cavalry, he really had no experience. If he imitated the training method of Lantian Camp, the trained cavalry might not be able to fight against Hu.
people.
Meng Yi listened quietly on the side. He was about to resign from the position of Guowei Mansion and go to Xianyang Palace to serve as Lang Zhongcheng. Although his position was not obvious, he would be closer to the king. This matter would bring many benefits.
The only one who loses is his brother.
"Well, what you said is indeed troublesome."
"When it comes to the cavalry strength of all the Xia countries, the Zhao State should be ranked first. Especially after King Wuling of Zhao and Hu Fu rode and shot, the military strength of the Zhao State increased greatly, especially against the frontier troops of Beihu. The fact that they retreated thousands of miles from Beihu has shown that
Combat strength."
"Meng Tian, why do you think Li Mu's border army is so elite?"
The matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. In this way, the only way is to do the best possible thing in order to gain credit. When Mengtian heard that, Mengwu nodded slightly, but what his son said was troublesome.
If you want to be able to defeat the North Hu thousands of miles like the Zhao State, you must have a strong cavalry force that can compete with Li Mu's border army. His thoughts were rolling, and a smile flashed on Meng Wu's face. He asked Meng Tian while walking towards the study room.
On the far shelf.
There are many bamboo slips and books placed there, some of which are often read, and some of which are not often read. They are all military classics, making it difficult for outsiders to spy. He walked to a fixed location and took down three volumes of bamboo slips from the shelf.
"At the beginning of King Wuling of Zhao's succession, he suffered successive defeats against the Hu people on the border. Therefore, King Wuling went to Hu alone to observe the Hu people's military discipline. After a few years, he gained quite a lot. Therefore, the power of Zhao was great because of the Hu's uniforms, riding and shooting.
It is the first among the six countries in Shandong."
"Li Mu's frontier army is so elite. From Meng Tian's point of view, on the one hand, they inherited the military training methods of King Wu Ling, and mostly adopted the Hu people's civil customs and military disciplines, and took the essence for his own use."
"The second is that he has been fighting against the Hu people for many years and has become an army in hundreds of battles. As my father said, let Meng Tian use the training method of Li Mu's border army as the basis to hone the cavalry?"
Meng Tian's eyes lit up. As a member of a military family, he was certainly no stranger to King Zhao Wuling. Although he was not guaranteed at the end of his career, he was still a heroic figure. Without King Wuling's changes, it would have been impossible for Zhao to fight against him for decades.
Qin State.
Now that there are ready-made examples, Meng Tian suddenly feels confident.
"Haha, speaking of which, if it hadn't been for the king's order today, I would have almost forgotten this thing. I wonder if you two would remember Yiqu Country?"
Holding three volumes of bamboo slips in both hands, he walked to Meng Tian and Mengyi, blew gently to blow away the dust on them, and then handed them all to Meng Tian, while looking at the two brothers.
"Yiqu Country!"
"This country was conquered by Qin forty years ago. Why did my father say this?"
Meng Tian responded without any doubts and accepted the three volumes of bamboo slips handed over by his father without opening them.
"The Yiqu Kingdom was during the reign of King Ping of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After the Quan Rong army attacked Hao Jing, a branch of the Di Rong in the west, the Yi Qu Rong, broke away from the Great Zhou Dynasty and established their own country. The name of the country was Yiqu. The history records the beginning of the Yiqu Kingdom."
"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the main enemy has been Qin. Although it was defeated by Qin many times, it also defeated Qin many times. When the territory was the most vast, it reached Hetao in the north, Longxi in the west, and Weishui in the south. This was when Yiqu was most powerful.
.”
"But during the years of King Huiwen and King Zhaoxiang of the Qin State, he continued to attack and weaken him. Coupled with the conspiracy of the Empress Dowager Xuan, Yiquhai was eliminated and the Yiqu Kingdom was destroyed in one fell swoop.
Although Meng Yi didn't know what his father meant, he still gave a simple history of Yiqu State. In the years since the Spring and Autumn Period, Yiqu State had been Qin's strong enemy in the north, especially during the years of King Huiwen. Without the support of Yiqu State,
In case of intrusion, he has already gone eastward and achieved great results.
Because the departure of Yiqu State to the east was delayed until the years of King Zhaoxiang, when King Zhaoxiang came to the throne, he wanted to get rid of Yiqu State. He planned for many years and succeeded in one fell swoop without any chance.
Leave it to the people of Yiqu.
"Yes, the Yiqu Kingdom is a relatively strong one among the Di Rong kingdoms. If the Yiqu Kingdom still exists, there will be no Huns. After Shang Jun's reform, a new army was created, but after the cavalry
Above, there are still many soldiers who are no match for Yiqu, otherwise Yiqu would not have caused such great trouble to Qin."
"At the beginning of King Zhaoxiang's accession to the throne, Yiquhai was stationed in Xianyang, and Marquis Rang, Lord Wu'an, and even your grandfather all participated in the attack and destruction of Yiqu Kingdom, especially Marquis Rang who had the deepest planning."
"During the years when I was planning the Yiqu Kingdom, I sent people deep into the Yiqu Kingdom many times in order to use the powerful Di Rong cavalry method on the old Qin people. Although this method was successful, after the Yiqu was attacked and destroyed, Rang
Before Hou had time to show his strength, he was deposed by King Zhaoxiang, which made him regretful."
Meng Wu didn't say much about Ranghou. It was not a glorious thing for Qin Ting, but the powerful cavalry method of Yiqu State left by Ranghou was a good thing.
After the death of Marquis Rang, the Battle of Changping began soon after. Over the past few decades, the national government had been somewhat unstable, so that the military books were covered in dust. Unless Meng Tian mentioned that he wanted to train cavalry today, he would not have thought of this.
"Father, are these three scrolls of bamboo slips left behind by Marquis Rang?"
In an instant, Meng Tian looked overjoyed and felt extremely excited. He quickly sat down on the floor of the study room, placed three volumes of bamboo slips on the floor, took out one volume, and slowly opened it. When he saw it, it was indeed what Marquis Rang said.
At first glance, it is about the cavalry of Yiqu Kingdom.
"When Marquis Rang left Xianyang, he gave this military book to Lord Wu'an. Before Lord Wu'an died, he left something to your grandfather. These three volumes are the ways to strengthen and train the Yiqu Kingdom's cavalry."
"As a country that can suppress the Xiongnu today, the Yiqu Kingdom may not be as powerful as the Xiongnu in terms of the benefits of military revolution, but it can draw the essence from its military tactics. Take these three volumes of military books with you."
"When you are in Jiuyuan Camp, you should read it in detail, use its key points to temper the cavalry, and appreciate its essence. In this way, it will be considered as a waste of all the efforts of Ranghou Wu Anjun's father."
The art of war has always spanned the ages. It not only describes the use of weapons of war, but also the interpretation of a new type of arms. As a member of Di Rong, Yiqu Kingdom naturally has the ability to use cavalry.
Advantages.
On the prairie, he is like a fish in water. Although these three volumes of military books are of great use, it still depends on whether Meng Tian can understand anything from them. However, Meng Tian has never let himself down.
