Chapter 65 Zhongshan Wolf 3
On the field, the cavalry of the brigade immediately stayed quietly in place. Although there were more than 5,000 people, they could hardly hear anyone making noise.
These cavalrymen are dressed in short-breasted Hu clothes and simple leather armor. From afar, their costumes are almost no different from ordinary Hu soldiers. Only the "pheasant feathers" raised high on the helmet can prove that they are the cavalry of the state of Zhao, a great country in the Central Plains.
When you see the weapons worn by the cavalry, the advantages and disadvantages of the highland will be clear at a glance. Whether it is a long bow or a dagger, the well-made cavalry of the State of Zhao is far from comparable to the barbarians. The knights on the horse have a fierce face, and their figures are much taller than ordinary soldiers. **'s mounts are mostly tall horses, fat and healthy, and some key points are tightly protected with leather armor.
Obviously, compared with the cavalry of the Hu people who can be used as soldiers, the cavalry of the State of Zhao is more than a little bit in terms of quality and equipment. This is also the reason why the Zhao people learn to ride and shoot with the Hu people as their teachers, but can defeat them.
When the countries in the Central Plains were still accustomed to the attack mode of vehicles and soldiers and infantry, Zhao people had taken the lead in launching a series of military reforms, abandoning the heavy and tedious vehicles and soldiers, and adopting more mobile and flexible cavalry troops, leaving countries far behind in terms of tactical thinking. This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao was able to prosper quickly in just a few years after "Hufu riding and shooting", and its military strength is comparable to that of Qin Qi.
If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will change. It is in the face of a desperate situation that you want to abandon all the old shackles of the past and vigorously advocate new changes, so as to enrich the country and strengthen the army. The Shang Yang of the State of Qin changed like this, and so is the current Hufu riding in the State of Zhao. In the past, the strong Zhongshan Kingdom fell to the point of poverty today because it was contented with pleasure and did not want to make progress.
This Zhao cavalry has been waiting in place for more than half an hour. There is nothing wrong with it. **'s mount gradually can't stand it. Horses keep ringing their noses and digging the grass impatiently. Under the comfort of the knight who kept reaching out and stroking his mane, this stopped **.
Zhao Zhang took the lead. In the front line of the team, he kept looking at the distance. The whip in his hand kept swinging and putting it down, and his face showed impatient. Tian Bure behind him was much quieter than that. He was sitting on the horse and closed his eyes to refresh himself, looking listless.
Although it is a summer afternoon, the weather is cloudy, so it is not too hot. Tian Boli has been used to brocade clothes and food over the years. In addition, he is getting older and older. Now he has suffered a lot between Zhao Guo and his back pain and drowsy all day long. However, he is also tough. These days, he has been gritting his teeth and not saying a word. Every day, he just keeps running around with Zhao Zhang. In just ten days, he has been tanned a lot, and he has lost a lot of weight.
A horse galloped in the distance and whipped towards Zhao Zhang's defense line. It was Zhao Jun's scout. Seeing this, Zhao Zhang hurriedly cheered up and urged the horse to meet him. He couldn't wait for the scout to stop the horse and asked urgently, "How about it?"
The scout pulled the reins of the horse and suddenly stopped the horse and arched his hand and said, "Report, the captain sent me to report that no enemy was found within 30 miles to the east."
Zhao Zhang waved his hand in disappointment, "Continue to explore."
"No." The scout quickly jumped around the horse and left quickly, leaving only Zhao Zhang with an irritable face in place.
Zhao Zhang waited patiently for a while. After all, he couldn't help asking Dao Tian impositely, "Sir, do you think it's suitable for my father to let me come here?"
Tian Bure slowly opened his eyes. Zhao Zhang's impatient look was imprinted into his eyes, thinking that the eldest son of the State of Zhao seemed to be Zhao Yong in terms of appearance and temper, but his mind and patience were much worse.
He smiled and said, "Son, don't be impatient. If you come, you will be at ease. What's the use of being anxious? It's better to wait patiently."
Zhao Zhang pulled the rein of the horse, and the mount raised his hoof with a long hiss. He turned around and stopped side by side with Tian Buli. He said with a somewhat unkind face: "Don't be impatient. It sounds good. We have been waiting for a full hour, not to mention the Zhongshan army, not even a rabbit."
"Sir, what did your father plan to inexplicably let me come here to stop the mountain army. Nowadays, the Zhongshan army is huddled in the city and dare not go out. How can there be such a bold march in the wild? I think my father is also confused, which is simply inexplicable.
In the end, Zhao Zhang couldn't help complaining and said with his head. Tian Bure's face tightened. He carefully glanced at the sergeant far behind him and whispered, "Son, it's enough to say such complaints in front of me. Don't say it in front of others. The cavalry of the State of Zhao is a unit brought out by the master's father. There are countless ears, eyes and admirers in the army. If the master's dissatisfaction is accidentally known, it will be very bad.
Zhao Zhang was not stupid. When he heard Tian Bure's reminder, he was immediately alert and quickly whispered, "My husband said it in time. I was silent."
Seeing that Zhao Zhang obeyed him, Tian didn't help but feel proud. He smiled and nodded slightly, stroked his beard with his hand, meditated for a moment and said, "As for what the master thinks, it's really difficult for us subordinates to guess. The Lord's father has always acted in a daring manner, and he dares not do it for others. Therefore, as a qualified son, the prince should think more and ask less. He should do his best to do everything explained by his father, and then think about why.
"For example, this time, the master suddenly asked you to lead 5,000 iron horses to ambush here, which must be information. Otherwise, 5,000 elites would not be wasted in such a place. As for where the situation came from and whether it can be accurate, it is really unknown."
Zhao Zhang showed a slightly thoughtful expression and said for a while: "Sir, do you mean that my father got the conclusive information that would let me lead the army to ambush here?"
"There is no separation from eight or nine."
Tian Buli nodded and said, "So all the prince has to do now is to be a little impatient, and do everything as the master said. Since it is an ambush, it is a sure war. But the Lord didn't let anyone come, but let the prince come, obviously to help you get more achievements, and the love and trust in you can be seen.
Zhao Zhang's face was slightly **, but his face did not show any joy because of Tian's rude words. Instead, he sank his face and snorted; "Isn't it ridiculous for my love and trust? Have you ever seen a father in the world who is as biased as him?
These days, under the success of Tian Bure, the resentment in Zhao Zhang's heart is like a seed sprouting, which quickly grows and grows. In the past, although he also had resentment in his heart, he never said anything. His respect and love for his father were also from the bottom of his heart. Although he was jealous of Zhao He's younger brother, he still had some feelings after all.
But now, his heart is full of resentment. He hated his brother for robbing everything that should have belonged to him. He hated his father for holding himself high and pulling him down coldly.
I hate this thing, which is probably the case. If you gain a foothold in your heart, you will continue to spread out, grow wildly, and finally reach an uncontrollable level.
And all this is going in the direction that Tian Fuli expected.
Seeking wealth and wealth in danger. Only when you give up your wealth and life can you go straight up and become powerful ministers in the government and the opposition. This has been the case since ancient times.
Therefore, Tian Bute just smiled and looked up at the soldiers in the distance with vigilance. Seeing that he could not hear it far away, he was relieved and said, "Son, if you think so, it's a big mistake."
Zhao Zhangwen was stunned and said, "What's wrong, sir? Don't you dare to say it?"
Tian Bute nodded slightly, immediately shook his head and said, "Yes, it's not."
"Sir, please don't keep the mark. It's okay to say something."
"I said yes. It was the prince who said that the master's father was biased that he gave the throne that should belong to you to the current king. I said no, because the prince thought that the master didn't spoil and didn't trust you.
Zhao Zhang's face sank, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not!"
"Although the master abandoned the prince's throne, he did not put the prince into the cold palace, but entrusted him with heavy responsibilities. Have you ever seen any abandoned prince as peaceful as you? Every time I travel, the master's meal and supply are divided into two parts. There is no difference between the master and the master and the king. This is enough to see that in the heart of the master, the prince's status will never be low. Although it is slightly insufficient compared with the king, it is almost the same.
Zhao Zhang snorted coldly and said, "What's the use of this? There is only one throne. Since my father spoils his younger brother more, he will naturally sacrifice me."
"Not necessarily!"
