This really works! Although saying this may be disrespectful to Master Yuwen, this is the fact.

Master Yuwen's reputation was as bad as salted fish outside. Except for Master Yuwen's own party, no one in the entire Western Wei Dynasty's bureaucratic class did not hate him to the bone, and even secretly poked at him as a villain.

The discord between His Majesty and Master Yuwen is no secret. If someone can really kill Master Yuwen at this time, it will be to help them lift the mountain that is weighing them down. He is simply a savior in their eyes!

I'm not sure how Li Bi looked at Zhang Liushen's memorial. He might have been ecstatic.

But Zhang Liu thought of another thing. Although his letter did not say it explicitly, it also indirectly revealed information about Lord Yuwen's unfavorable situation.

If they feel that Master Yuwen is not afraid anymore, won't they directly transfer the flames of war to His Majesty himself? How happy are you then?

Zhang Liu thought of this, and then immediately told Su Qing. Su Qing said in a good temper: "So didn't I just say that I want you to return to Beijing with me?

This letter of yours is actually of no help to me when I return to Beijing. It is a preparation for the rectification of the court in the future.

In other words, everything has to wait until I return to Kyoto safely. If you fail to protect me and let me die on the way, then everything after that will only depend on you.

After all, I am already dead, so who cares if there is a flood behind me? "

Zhang Liu nodded with a wry smile, and Su Qing said: "You find a place to sit by yourself for a while, and I will write the edict first, and then you immediately hurry up and have someone deliver it to General Zhong."

After that, Su Qing no longer paid attention to Zhang Liu, directly spread out a blank silk book, picked up the pen and wrote it with a swipe. Finally, he stamped Su Qing's own seal, let it dry for a while, and then handed it to the person standing there. Zhang Liu was waiting on the side.

"Go ahead and ask General Zhong to come over as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer. If I don't go back, I'm afraid something will happen in the capital." Su Qing ordered.

Zhang Liu nodded, immediately took the edict, and then arranged for people to rush it to the residence of General Zhong.

The next days were about waiting. Since the new officers and soldiers of the Northern Patrol Battalion were all promoted from the Fu soldiers, the original training methods of the Fu soldiers were not suitable.

Zhang Liu specially compiled a set of training methods suitable for the northern Xinjiang battlefield based on the way he trained troops on the western battlefield, and based on the geographical location and characteristics of northern Xinjiang.

Since the northern Xinjiang battlefield faced enemies from the grasslands, how to defend against cavalry raids became the main task.

The racecourse of the Western Wei Dynasty had been planned, and a reliable source of horses was available. The biggest gain from the Huns in this battle was the capture of many war horses.

Although there were many injured, there were also many good horses. Injured horses can be used for breeding, and then they can give birth to foals to replenish the horse supply. Uninjured horses can be put into military use directly.

In this way, a usable cavalry team was armed, and the Huns had surrendered to the Western Wei at this time. The horse sources could be obtained from the Huns in the future, or even trained by the Western Wei themselves.

But no matter how good the idea is, all this is just the beginning. No one knows what will happen next. It is still not enough to reach the point of using cavalry against cavalry.

Therefore, at present, the Western Wei Dynasty does not seem to have any other effective method except to make more equipment that can resist the charge of war horses, such as caltrops, spurs, and horse slings.

Once the horses break through these obstacles, the infantry can only use their bodies to carry them.

But how can a mortal body resist a charging horse? He could only resist with a spear, and there was no other way but to be trampled into a puddle of flesh.

Is there any magic weapon to deal with war horses? At least it prevents the soldiers from standing around waiting to die.

Zhang Liu thought hard and couldn't think of any good solution. He could only let them train more first to make their bodies stronger and able to carry them for a while longer.

When Su Qing had nothing to do, he would occasionally wander over to the training ground to relieve his boredom by watching the garrison troops of the new Northern Patrol Battalion train.

Zhang Liu was nesting in a tent next to the training ground, watching the military training while continuing to think hard.

Su Qing walked over and happened to see Zhang Liu writing and drawing on a silk book.

The more Su Qing looked at it, the more strange he felt. He frowned and asked, "What are you drawing?"

Zhang Liu's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. He looked up and saw His Majesty standing next to his desk, frowning and looking down at the messy things he drew.

Zhang Liu was startled and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

With that said, Zhang Liu immediately stood up and walked over, moved a seat next to him and placed it next to Su Qing and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down."

Su Qing sat on the chair and continued to look at the messy things he had drawn.

Zhang Liu smiled awkwardly and said: "Wei Chen was thinking about some weapons suitable for fighting cavalry. The drawing was not very good, which made His Majesty laugh..."

Su Qing took it over and looked at it carefully, then said, "I'm sorry for my short-sightedness, but can you explain what this painting is?"

Zhang Liu said embarrassedly: "Wei Chen hasn't designed it yet, so he already knows that he needs a long weapon.

After all, if our infantry fights with cavalry, the weapons are too short to hurt a single hair of the cavalry..."

Su Qing actually wanted to tell him that no matter what weapons you invented, it would be useless. The cavalry did not withdraw from the stage of history until the late Qing Dynasty. It was not that easy to deal with.

Before the invention of machines to replace transportation capacity, the cavalry was always the protagonist on the battlefield.

Su Qing asked him: "What do you think?"

Zhang Liudao: "Wei Chen is wondering if there is a long weapon that can cut off a horse's legs, and it can also be used for chopping and assassinating..."

Su Qing took his brush and drew a halberd with a few strokes.

The long halberd actually appeared as early as the Western Han Dynasty. It was actually a combination of spear and Ge.

But later, due to the Jin Dynasty, the quality of soldiers' armor became better and better, and the hooking effect of the halberd became less and less. The longer the halberd was, the stronger it was. The longer the horse's spear became more useful.

In addition, the emergence of weapons such as hooks and hooks can directly control the halberd, so the halberd was gradually eliminated from the long river of history.

Zhang Liu took a look and said, "It's similar to this, but it's not a halberd."

Su Qing frowned, painted a few strokes and drew another weapon for him.

This weapon is similar to a halberd, but slightly different from the halberd. There is a barbed spear on the tip of the spear. If a modern person is here, he will immediately recognize that this is a common sight in TV dramas. hook sickle gun.

In Water Margin, the hook and sickle spear was used to defeat the cavalry of the Song Dynasty. The description of the hook and sickle spear is that not only cavalry and infantry can use it, but it can also use the hook to pull the legs to deal with horses and cavalry.
