Qin Jian patted Qin Hao's shoulder and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, your fourth uncle, I have brought you a total of 30,000 cavalry this time."
After hearing the word 'good nephew', Qin Hao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.
He is about to become the father of three children, but in the eyes of elders like Qin Jian, he still seems to be a minor.
And when he heard that of the 50,000 Jin troops coming this time, 30,000 were cavalry, Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a flash of joy in his eyes.
"Thirty thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry, plus the ten thousand fine cavalry under my command, after gathering all the cavalry under the princes' command, we should be able to gather one hundred thousand cavalry, which is enough to deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry." Qin Hao thought to himself.
.
The Jin army was different from the Qin army. The Qin army wanted to develop cavalry, but it did not have enough horses.
After the Jin army occupied Hetao, there were so many war horses that even one person and two riders could not ride them, so the elite troops even had the luxury of having one person and three riders.
Now the ratio of infantry and cavalry in the Jin army has even reached one to one, which means that there are 100,000 cavalry in the 200,000 Jin army.
Of course, the reason why such a large cavalry team is maintained is mainly to defend against the increasingly powerful Yuan-Meng Empire in the north.
Among the 500,000 Liang troops, the Xiliang cavalry accounted for about 20%, and there were also 100,000 cavalry.
It is impossible for Dong Zhuo to mobilize all the Xiliang cavalry. This time he can mobilize up to 60,000 cavalry to fight against the Hou Hou coalition. And Qin Hao has a hundred thousand cavalry to compete with them, so the chance of victory is still quite high.
The quality of the cavalry under the princes is different from that of the infantry.
Because the formation of a cavalry unit is very difficult and can almost be said to cost money, so as long as it can be established, it will definitely be an elite force.
There are still many princes with cavalry teams, but most of them are small-scale cavalry. Except for Dong Qin, there are only three princes with more than 10,000 cavalry: Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao. Even Yuan Shu does not have 10,000 cavalry.
This shows how luxurious the cavalry is.
After Qin Hao and Qin Jian talked about their daily routine, they finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Fourth uncle, is your handsome father's health okay?"
"My eldest brother is still in good health and handles government affairs easily, but he can't continue to lead the army."
"Just be tough. By the way, is my father still angry with me?"
"My good nephew, don't blame your uncle. I just said a few words to you."
Qin Jian looked puzzled and asked: "What kind of conflict does it have between you and your son that it needs to get to this point?"
Qin Jian didn't know the secrets of the Qin family, and when faced with Qin Jian's questioning, Qin Hao could only change the subject with a wry smile.
What kind of conflict can there be between Qin Hao and Qin Wen?
It's not that Qin Wen couldn't tolerate Liu Mu giving birth to a boy, but Qin Hao couldn't tolerate his father forcing him to give up his own flesh and blood, so the conflict arose.
Qin Hao had no regrets about marrying Liu Mu, but he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this marriage was simply a sin.
Qin Jian was just a very simple-minded person. After being led astray by Qin Hao's few words, Qin Jian also forgot the previous question and visited the Qin Army under the leadership of Qin Hao.
"Good sword...good crossbow...good..."
Qin Jian visited all the way and was amazed all the way.
Qin Hao broke away from the Jin Army and founded the Qin Army. Qin Jian originally thought that it would take at least five years to achieve initial results. After all, it was the same when he and Qin Wen started their business. However, the results Qin Hao achieved shocked him.
Whether it is military or political, Qin Hao has achieved almost perfection, which is much better than the miserable situation they were in at that time.
"The future life is to be feared."
Qin Jian looked sighing, and then asked: "By the way, where are your third and fourth brothers? Didn't they come with you this time?"
Qin Hao smiled calmly and said: "The third brother is staying in Nanyang, while the fourth brother is serving as Bai Qi's deputy, mainly responsible for attacking Guangcheng Pass."
In the four counties under Qin Hao's command, the governors of the three counties all had foreign surnames, so Nanyang would of course be handed over to someone with the Qin surname, and Qin Zheng, who was both civil and military, was the best candidate.
Qin Jian couldn't help but nodded. Before coming, Qin Wen asked him to remind Qin Hao that a monarch should be careful with his loyal subordinates. This is not only for the good of the monarch but also for the good of his ministers.
Seeing that Qin Hao had placed Qin Wu next to Bai Qi, Qin Jian knew that Qin Hao was already well versed in the art of employing people, and while giving Bai Qi rights, he also exercised checks and balances, so naturally there was no need for him to continue talking.
"Report...to inform my lord that Liu Xiu, the herdsman of Jingzhou, is here to visit."
Qin Jian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu? He was not defeated by you just now, and even his brother Liu Biao died in the battle. How could he take the initiative to visit?"
Qin Hao also looked thoughtful, and then said: "No matter what the trick is, you will know it when you see it."
"Go ahead, Third Uncle, I want to visit your Qin army."
"Um."
Qin Hao nodded and strode away. When he opened the large tent for the guests, a young general wearing silver armor appeared in Qin Hao's sight. He was Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
Before they met, Qin Hao was very afraid of Liu Xiu, and even wanted to kill him.
But after they actually met, Qin Hao found that he didn't have much murderous intention in his heart. Perhaps he had always been afraid of Emperor Guangwu in his heart, not the resolute young man in front of him.
Seeing Qin Hao's arrival, Liu Xiu immediately bowed and said in a deep voice: "Greetings to the Marquis of Qin."
Liu Xiu was not imprudent at all in terms of etiquette, and his calmness was abnormal. It was not at all like the attitude he should have when facing the enemy who killed his brother.
Qin Hao became alert in his heart, but remained calm on the outside. He narrowed his eyes slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Liu, there is no need to be so polite."
Liu Xiu called Qin Hao the Marquis of Qin, but Qin Hao called Liu Xiu Brother Liu. On the surface, Qin Hao was trying to bring the two of them closer, but in reality, he did not recognize the official position Dong Zhuo bestowed upon Liu Xiu.
If he were an ordinary prince, he would definitely argue with Qin Hao angrily. After all, this is related to his future status in the coalition, but Liu Xiu's expression did not change at all.
After a moment of silence, Liu Xiu deliberately pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Qin is busy with everything, so I came to disturb you this time. Actually, I have something important to discuss with the Marquis of Qin."
Here comes the point. Qin Hao sneered in his heart.
"It's like this. Due to some misunderstanding, there was a little friction between our army and the Marquis' army not long ago, and my favorite general Kou Xun was also captured alive by General Bai Qi."
Liu Xiu looked at Qin Hao expectantly, and asked sincerely: "Now that you and I are allies in fighting against Dong, and the previous misunderstandings have been eliminated, I wonder if Lord Marquis can release Kou Xun, or maybe I can
