In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 464 Grass
Outside the Yueshi King City, the Qin Army camp.

"Your Majesty, this is a kind of pasture brought back by the Yuezhi people from the Western Regions."

Alfalfa?
Zhao Shuang stared at the things on the table, most of which were brought back from the Western Regions when Leonard's army conquered Wusun.

These days, Zhao Shuang's men brought back the spoils left by Leonard's troops.There are not only seeds and vines of walnuts, carrots, grapes and other plants, but also hundreds of Wusun horses and a dozen Dawan sweat horses.

Seemingly a triumph, the horses were not castrated and could be used as stallions.

But what surprised Zhao Shuang the most was the alfalfa in front of him.

Why, with Li Muzhi's ability, when facing a group of barbarians back then, he had to endure it, be careful to prevent them from looting, and finally wait until the opponent dispatched 10,000+ troops to clean up?
Because every barbarian who comes out to rob has a horse, and he can run if he can't beat it, and Zhao Jun's side riders are the best in the world, but everyone can't have a horse.

Among the seven kingdoms in the world, only Qin and Zhao were equipped with elite cavalry.Although Yan State had horse breeding and horse production land, it was unable to organize a large-scale cavalry unit.

But even so, Qin and Zhao could not pull out [-] cavalry troops like the surrounding Yuezhi and Huns.

Not only is it expensive to raise war horses, but it is also useless.War horses are almost useless for farming except for fighting.

Most ordinary people raise cattle, pigs, chickens, sheep and dogs, but few raise horses.And even if there are breeders, it is difficult to meet the requirements of war horses.Therefore, raising war horses and organizing cavalry troops can only rely on the official organization of the Qin and Zhao courts.

It is already the limit to have [-] to [-] cavalry troops, and it is quite a big expense.

But Ma Zheng is very important to a country, and it is the embodiment of military strength.Therefore, even if it costs money, you have to keep it.

Ma Zheng was not prosperous, so he could only hide behind the Great Wall and defend passively.Even if you can't even defend the Great Wall, you can only rely on iron and blood.

However, if alfalfa can be widely planted as a concentrated feed, the cost of raising war horses can be reduced, and more cavalry troops can be drawn.

In addition, Zhao Shuang's territory now has horse production land and horse breeding land, which can raise war horses on a large scale.

Thinking about the upcoming war to unify the world and the need for war horses in the war, Zhao Shuang felt a little clear in his heart.

There is a huge map on the table in front of him, which is the eastern territory of the Yueshi, which is now the territory of Zhao Shuang.

In the military tent, a group of people came together.

"With Jincheng as the center, and as far as the hunting ground and palace, build [-] horse farms in the west, and place the stallions from the Western Regions first. In addition, in this war, a lot of cattle, sheep and horses were captured, and a cavalry army can be organized .”

Zhao Shuang got a large number of war horses because of the surrender of Leonard's troops.

"How many people does Your Majesty want?"

"Three thousand riders are enough for now."

"How about the Huns?"

"In order to deal with the threat from the Huns, the imperial court has already decided to guard the border with tens of thousands of heavy armor and change its name to the Anxi Town Army."

what?
The people in the camp looked at each other, and sent the main force of the Qin army to the border, but pushed it to the edge.

Of course it was not Zhao Shuang who brought up this idea, but it was helpful to the current situation.

Xin Zhao shook his head.As a cavalry general, leading a thousand cavalry troops, now that the army is expanding, he will naturally be the commander.

"The Xiongnu are scattered, but even if the Anxi town army can guard the border city, we are still outside the Great Wall. Now the place to be defended has suddenly become so vast. If the Huns invade, only three thousand horses are not good. Handle."

Zhao Shuang nodded.

"Our military strength is not enough now, so in addition to building fortresses at the border passes, we have to bribe them heavily."

"Bribe the Huns?"

"The Xiongnu are hungry wolves who will come when they smell blood. Even if you give them money, they will still come. But Donghu is different. Even if they can see it, they can't eat it. Maintaining a good relationship with it can actually restrain the Xiongnu .”

"My subordinate understands."

At this moment, outside the military tent, a military report came.

"Fan Yuqi led an army of [-], beheaded General Zhao, and captured Chili and Yi'an."

Zhao Shuang's expression turned serious.Chili and Yi'an, now Zhao Guo can use it immediately, and only the tens of thousands of frontier troops under Li Mu's command.

"understood."

The scouts went away, and the generals in the tent looked worried.As Fan Yuqi established his military achievements, the power of his relatives expanded, and the influence of the family in the army was repelled to the fringes.

But Zhao Shuang didn't care at all, instead he focused on the territory construction.

"Stabilize the situation and arrange business routes. I won't be able to go back within a year or two, so don't worry about it for now."

Changping Palace.

The good news of Zhao Land and the good news of Yueshi King City came one after another, Chang Ping Jun felt mixed feelings in his heart.Even the news from Yuezhi's side dilutes the joy in Mr. Changping's heart even more.

"I didn't expect that Zhao Shuang really helped Princess Yueshi restore her country."

"Brother, don't worry. Taking advantage of Zhao Shuang's absence, the tens of thousands of heavily armored troops were sent to the western frontier. His influence in the army has been greatly reduced."

There was still a little joy on Chang Wenjun's face.At the beginning, the tens of thousands of heavily armored troops moved to the garrison, but it was just a matter of expediency.However, they pushed the boat along the way, making it difficult for the tens of thousands of heavily armored troops to return to the conquest of the six countries in the Kanto region.It has to be said that for them, it is a big victory.

"However, Zhao Shuang's strength has multiplied suddenly. Even if he dominates the Northwest, we can't stop him."

"Brother, don't worry. For us, the most important thing is the Central Plains."

Mr. Changping glanced at Mr. Changwen and smiled.

"You're right. In Jianghu, Nongmo is evenly matched. Is there any news?"

"Since Yan Mo made friends with the peasant family, Qin Mo's defense against them is like guarding against thieves. The internal cracks in the Mo family have become deeper and deeper. But the strange thing is that the giants of the Mo family did not care about this. Yan Dan even several The last time I tried to infiltrate the Qin and Chu lands in the name of the organ city, but I failed."

"The leader of the Mohist family who sits in Yunmeng is not Yi Yu's role." Mr. Changping sighed, and then thought of something, "Zhao Shuang led the army away for so long, Luo Wang's private actions have not stopped. Yes. I don't know what happened?"

Wild mountain village.

The two swordsmen fell to the ground, moaning in pain, their eyes almost protruding.The mask slipped off, revealing a spider tattoo on the side of his neck.

Xuan Jian held his sword and turned his head.In the forest on the side, a woman in a black silk dress stepped out.

"Tide banshee!"

Mrs. Mingzhu looked at the ordinary-looking swordsman who looked like an old farmer, and walked out step by step, feeling the murderous aura of the opponent.

"How did Xuan Jian, who was so powerful in the past, become like this now?"

"It seems that Yuezhi's trip went smoothly for you."

As for Mrs. Mingzhu, Xuan Jian just replied lightly, even ignoring her question.

"The net is becoming more and more unscrupulous. But our lord said that at least we will stay in the wild land in the western border for a year to stabilize the situation and let Master Xuan Jian take good care of it."

"Xuan Jian will definitely live up to the entrustment of the Lord."

Xuan Jian said a word.Mrs. Mingzhu seemed bored, she shook her head, and walked into the depths of the jungle.
