"Those old guys are quite interesting."
In the front hall of the palace, Li Ziye heard several King Wu speaking for him, smiled slightly, and said, "It's not in vain that I was in the army at that time, entertaining them with delicious food and drinks."
Dashang lacked horses, and the horse production rate was far lower than that of the Eight Mobei tribes. This also caused the proportion of cavalry in Dashang's army to be low.
Even the direct armies of several King Wu, which usually numbered 70,000 horsemen, had less than 10,000 cavalry at their peak, and sometimes, even less.
Just like King Donglin, in order to support his march north, he had to spend all his energy to get enough five thousand cavalry.
Among the armies of several King Wu, the proportion of cavalry in the Rakshasa Army is already very high.
However, the last time the eldest prince's villain, the Mobei Eight Tribes, took the opportunity to sneak attack south, their four Martial Kings led their troops to stop them, which almost wiped out the Rakshasa Army's wealth.
Now, Huanzhu has not only made up the 10,000 cavalry, but also secured an additional 5,000. It can be said that the task has been overfulfilled.
Based on Emperor Shang's current attitude towards him, several other King Wu above the court would certainly be helpful.
They are all good people.
Knowing that he is good at surprise attacks, but not good at step-by-step fighting, without cavalry, it is difficult to perform when the battle begins, so it is really interesting to help win the horses.
It seems that there are still many good people in the Great Shang Dynasty, at least a few King Wu are good.
"Brother, guess who's opinion played a decisive role, apart from the few Martial Kings?" Huanzhu asked as if taking credit.
"who?"
Li Ziye asked doubtfully, "Besides a few Martial Kings, is there anyone else who can speak for us?"
"Yes, Lu Siqing, Master Lu."
Huanzhu replied, "Several Wu kings helped the Rakshasa army to get horses. The old fox of Emperor Shang originally excused himself because he didn't have enough horses and didn't want to equip the Rakshasa army with so many cavalry. Unexpectedly, Lord Lu stood up at the critical moment and said Leave the war horse matter to him and he will solve the war horse problem for the Rakshasa Army as soon as possible."
"Lu Siqing?"
Hearing this, Li Ziye had a strange expression on his face. After thinking for a long time, he finally came to his senses and said in a concentrated voice, "I think of it, although this old man is a civil servant, he has an extraordinary background. His family has raised horses for the big merchants for generations. One of the three major racecourses in Shang seems to be managed by his family."
"Brother, I remember well. Mr. Lu's family is indeed a horse breeding family of Dashang."
Huanzhu said with a smile, "Now, the war horses promised by Mr. Lu have been sent to the Rakshasa Army camp one after another. The Rakshasa Army has a better foundation and will soon be able to train a group of brave and good cavalry."
"This old man is really a treasure. I didn't pay much attention to it before."
Li Ziye put down the tea cup in his hand and reminded, "When you have time, go visit him and find out the old man's background. Ask Dashang's three major horse farms how much potential they have and how many war horses they can produce in the near future. Take advantage of the other few The King of Martial Arts hasn't started to attack yet, let's grab some more."
No one has too many things like cavalry. In this era of cold weapons, cavalry is really useful. It can advance, attack, retreat or defend. If you can't defeat it, you can still run away.
Compared to cavalry, the mobility attributes of infantry are far inferior.
"good."
Huanzhu nodded and responded, "Just leave this matter to me."
"Where's Xu Hanlin?"
After chatting about the war horse, Li Ziye thought for a while and asked, "How is he doing lately?"
"The spring breeze is triumphant."
Huanzhu answered truthfully, "Originally, his previous position as Young Shepherd was a transitional one, and the entire court knew it. After he was officially promoted to Jingmu, everyone in the court looked at him even more highly. After all, Jingmu is a The position is in charge of public security in the capital. He is not a big official but has a lot of power."
"That's good."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "This kid has been struggling for twelve years and finally got through. One day his parents break through the fifth realm, and he will really become the most powerful second generation in the world. This investment has great potential. Keep an eye on it.”
He didn't know whether the old man Xu Xian could break through the fifth realm, but Bai Niangniang definitely had great hope.
I hope the White Lady can gain some momentum.
His investment in the Xu family can be said to be a huge investment. Not only did he use two dragon balls, he also pushed Xu Hanlin to the position of Jingmu.
And that little guy Yun'er also agreed to become a disciple of Taixue Palace. This was all a favor that he had managed to save little by little over the years.
"Brother, don't worry."
Huanzhu said softly, "Now, everyone in the world knows that Jing Mu and the Buyi King are in a close relationship. No matter how stupid Xu Hanlin is, he can't deny this fact. What's more, as the superior one, the Buyi King has not been able to deny the fact so far. He only showed kindness and asked for nothing in return."
While talking, Huanzhu picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for his brother in front of him.
"There will be rewards."
Li Ziye picked up the tea and drank it while saying, "The Xu family and the Li family can no longer be separated. Let's wait and see if the Xu Xian couple can produce a super master who can break through the five realms. I will use all the resources I can give." I gave it to them, even using the Qinglong Sect’s favor, and I’m just waiting for their seed to sprout, but don’t rush, this is a long-term investment, and it doesn’t matter if there is no return in a short period of time.”
"Understood."
Huanzhu listened to the explanation of his brother in front of him, nodded, and continued, "Brother, the war will resume soon. I am not good at the art of war. This is not easy to learn."
"It doesn't matter, I'll come when the time comes."
Li Ziye glanced outside and said, "Okay, it's almost time. If we continue chatting, others will become suspicious. I'll have people bring the money in, and you can ask your servants to send Yu Qingxuan out."
After saying that, Li Ziye got up and walked outside.
Huanzhu immediately got up and followed him, walking out of the hall together.
Soon, in front of the palace, several servants from Li Yuan came in carrying boxes after boxes of silver and arranged them in a row.
When the silver box was opened, the white silver was very eye-catching.
In the palace, the servants were all stunned when they saw this spectacular scene.
I had long heard that the Li family was rich, but using so much money to buy a maid was really eye-opening.
Not long after, with the support of Bai Lian'er and Hongxiu, Yu Qingxuan came to the front yard with a pale face.
"Qingxuan, how are you?"
Li Ziye stepped forward and asked with concern in front of everyone.
"No, it's okay."
Yu Qingxuan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces in front of him and responded weakly.
"I'll help you."
Li Ziye personally helped the woman in front of him and walked outside step by step.
With everyone watching, the two left the palace. Just like four years ago, the Li family's legitimate son loved beauties. It seemed that nothing had changed in four years.
However, only Yu Qingxuan, who was supported, knew how much had happened in the past four years.
"Master Li."
Being so close, Yu Qingxuan felt the body temperature of the people around him, opened his mouth and asked, "Am I qualified?"
"It's time to change your tune."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "The Li family all call me young master!"
