Ten days later, the ministers escorted Fusu out of Xianyang City. Li Si boarded Fusu's carriage on the pretext that he had something to report to Fusu. After Fusu Ping retreated his guards, Li Si fell in front of Fusu.
In front of Su, he choked and said:
"Please be careful, young master. I, Li Si, are waiting for the young master to return in Xianyang. If something happens to the young master, I will do my best to assist the young master."
"Prime Minister, please get up. I promise Prime Minister that we will return absolutely safely from this trip." Fusu said and helped Li Si up.
"Sir, please give this letter to Han Xin." Li Si took out a letter and handed it to Fusu.
Li Si slowly walked out of the carriage and silently watched Fusu's carriage go farther and farther until it disappeared into the distant sky.
"Prime Minister, go back," Li Si's bodyguard said helplessly as the shadow of the carriage disappeared into the sky.
"Let's watch for a while longer." Li Si looked sadly at the distant sky.
In just four months, Li Si witnessed how this young hero saved the Qin Dynasty from the edge of disintegration. He seemed to have found the same feeling as when he and Qin Shihuang planned to unify the six countries. During this period,
Since then, Li Si has been trying his best to plan for Fusu to restore Qin's national power. Deep in his heart, he has regarded Fusu as his spiritual sustenance. Now that Fusu insists on attacking the Xiang family camp in Jiangdong alone, in his view
It was tantamount to committing suicide. Watching Fusu's car drive away, Li Si felt that his heart had been torn apart.
After a long time, Li Si slowly walked to his car accompanied by his guards.
After Fusu left Xianyang, he went straight to the Lantian Camp. At sunset, Fusu's chariot arrived at the Lantian Camp escorted by two thousand elite soldiers. The commander-in-chief, Han Xin and Peng Yue welcomed Fusu at the camp gate.
This is the first time I have been to the Lantian camp since Fu Su was in charge of the country. The camp stretching for dozens of miles is like a tiger entrenched on the Guanzhong Plain. Military tents are neatly arranged in the camp, shining in the setting sun.
, but there were not many soldiers in the camp at this time, because most of the soldiers had already gone north to Hanoi County.
When Fusu's car stopped at the gate of the camp, Han Xin and others immediately greeted him. Fusu walked out of the car and jumped to the ground. He walked towards Han Xin and others and took Li Si's car.
After the letter was handed over to Han Xin, he went straight to the point: "Han Xin, how is the cavalry I asked you to train?" He even skipped the greetings when he met.
"Your Majesty, I already have the strength to fight."
"Why don't you let them practice here and let me appreciate their fighting power?" Fusu said, pointing to a huge open space in the camp.
"Nuo" Han Xin ran away after accepting the order.
After a while, the horn sounded in the camp, and groups of cavalry gathered from all over. After a while, they assembled in the open space designated by Fusu. After the troops were assembled, Han Xin rode up to Fusu.
"Start!" Fusu ordered directly.
"All officers and soldiers, line up and start drills," Han Xin gave the order to start the drills.
As the drill began, the cavalry began to move quickly after loading. Suddenly, the entire drill field was filled with dust and flags were rolled. The soldiers' shouts were mixed with the sounds of war horses, completely drowning out the voice of the captain giving orders, and the sound was filled with excitement.
sky.
Han Xin looked at Fusu nervously, trying to tell Fusu's attitude towards this team from Fusu's expression. However, Fusu kept a dark face and said nothing the whole time.
Just when Han Xin was about to ask Fusu for his opinion, an accident occurred in the training team. A soldier fell off the galloping horse. Fusu decisively stopped the drill and asked the soldier who fell from the horse.
The soldier walked away. At this time, a military doctor rushed over and began to examine. After careful inspection, he found that the soldier on the ground only broke an arm and had no other injuries.
Han Xin looked at the soldier in front of him angrily. He had originally planned to show his face in front of Master Fusu today, but he suddenly exposed his buttocks. Seeing that Han Xin was about to scold the soldier in front of him,
Fusu glared at Han Xin, and Han Xin had to give up his plan to scold the soldiers in front of him.
"What's your name? Is it okay?" Fusu asked pleasantly.
"My lord, Li Er, I just broke an arm, nothing serious. I don't know what happened, but the horse that was running so well suddenly fell over. I couldn't control it enough and fell off the horse.
"This has disturbed the young master, please forgive me for your sins." The soldier crossed his arms and replied in fear.
"Go and bring that war horse over," Fusu said to the captain standing next to the wounded soldier.
After a while, he saw the captain leading a horse slowly walking towards Fusu. The horse was limping very slowly. Fusu walked to the horse and inspected it carefully. He was surprised.
I found that this horse didn't have any horseshoes on its four hooves.
"Where's the horseshoe?" Fusu looked at the captain leading the horse in confusion and asked.
"What horseshoe?" The captain also looked confused.
Fusu instantly understood that the Qin Dynasty did not have the habit of shoeing horses, because horseshoe technology was not introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions until the Song Dynasty, and it was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it was used on a large scale. He has always been thinking about building the Qin cavalry.
However, he never thought that he would miss such an important thing despite being so careful. Fusu looked at the wounded soldier in front of him with some guilt.
Fusu dismissed the drill sergeants and returned directly to the camp. He took out his pen and ink and drew a pattern of horseshoes and horseshoe nails on a silk scarf. Then he found a piece of wood and cut out models of horseshoes and horseshoe nails, and handed them over.
Peng Yue's hands. Then he explained to Peng Yue:
"Tomorrow you rush back to Xianyang with the sample drawings and models, and ask the Daqin Ordnance Institute to produce 50,000 horseshoes and enough horseshoe nails within ten days. After the completion, you come back with the horseshoes and 500 craftsmen."
After solving the horseshoe matter, Fusu turned his attention to Han Xin. Judging from today's drill, many problems were indeed exposed: the cavalry training was still carried out according to the training mode of infantry, and the way the captain delivered military orders basically still relied on
The transmission of passwords was easily drowned out by other sounds on the battlefield, and new weapons such as scimitars and saddles were not used. According to the combat power seen in Fusu today, if we attack Jiangdong, it really cannot be called a surprise attack, but an attack with open fire.
city.
"Han Xin, there are too many questions!" Fusu looked at Han Xin and said frankly.
In fact, the Great Qin cavalry has changed a lot under the training of Han Xin, but it cannot be reflected in front of Fusu. After all, this evildoer essentially traveled from two thousand years later, and there is already a Han cavalry in the knowledge base about cavalry.
, Genghis Khan’s Mongolian cavalry and the existence of such ceilings naturally do not appreciate Han Xin’s contribution.
This is like an exam. If you are used to seeing top students with high scores, and occasionally see a bad student going from 60 to 70, you will naturally not have much reaction. If Han Xin is allowed to know Fusu's secret,
He would definitely cry and faint in the tent. Ever since Fusu sent him to the Shangjun camp to train the Qin cavalry, he had tried his best. He had used almost every method he could think of, and his combat effectiveness had indeed improved a lot. Why?
It's worthless when you get to Master Fusu.
"You're good to go," Han Xin muttered in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.
"Tomorrow, gather all the captains together, and I will tell you the essentials of cavalry combat."
"No," Han Xin agreed, resisting the urge to laugh.
