"I've read everything, what do you think?" Li You folded the letter casually, put it on the tables aside, then turned around and asked as calmly as possible.
"Borrowing troops." Chen Xi said almost without thinking, "These troops need to be borrowed. It is not easy for Xiliang soldiers to replenish them. Their strong combat power also makes it difficult to replenish them. And for the previous level of conflict, Xiliang soldiers can be regarded as The most suitable for that battlefield.”
The main reason why Li Jue sent the letter to Li You is that Xiliang soldiers cannot be replenished casually. Although they are all trained from Liangzhou, the distance between Xiliang soldiers and Xiliang cavalry is not ordinary. distant.
To be precise, once the Xiliang cavalry is lost, there are only two ways to replenish it. One is to replenish it with lives. Ordinary miscellaneous soldiers go to legion battles. If they survive ten battles, they can almost join the Xiliang soldiers. After that, they will undergo intensive training of the cavalry. It took about a year.
However, in places like the Western Regions, one of Li Jue did not have that ability, and the other did not have enough time. Besides, Hua Xiong had many elite cavalrymen. As long as they could be recalled, they could casually give them weapons, put on armor, and sneak up a few times. You can go to the battlefield.
"To borrow troops, we need to go through Duke Xuande. We don't have a suitable method." Lu Su shook his head slightly. He also felt that the soldiers should be borrowed. He thought Li Jue's approach was right, although he felt that Li Jue could say such things. Shocked, but worth borrowing.
"The Xiliang cavalry is indeed suitable for that kind of battlefield, but Li Jue also explained in the letter that Da Qin is not that easy to deal with. The toughness of the cavalry will at best result in a temporary victory." Guo Jia shook his finger to express that things were not that simple.
"A battle loss of up to seven to one seems good. In fact, according to what Li Jue said in his letter, the real exchange ratio of Da Qin infantry and cavalry is slightly greater than two to one!" Guo Jia was very cautious when he said this, " Which infantrymen in the Central Plains can achieve this result?"
"There is no need to be so alarmist." Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "Although Great Qin's archers are severely restrained due to the defensive power of the cavalry and the talent of General Li's army, we need to admit that that archery team is indeed elite. "
"The archers faced ten waves of arrows, and most of the troops were restrained to death." Fazheng said with emotion. "With this kind of shooting speed, one barrel of arrows only takes about ten breaths."
"The official system uses archers. If Da Qin doesn't have special arrow-making skills, then they are richer than me." Liu Ye said with a frown. "We need to find a way to find out the background of Da Qin. I agree to lend troops to Li Jue."
"More importantly, Xiliang Iron Cavalry can only display its true combat effectiveness in the hands of Li Jue, and leaving a complete establishment to us will be a trouble." Liu Ye saw other people looking at him and did not hide his thoughts. Said directly.
"One more thing, although I have never met the Duke of Da Qin, from his perspective, I think his words are credible." Liu Ye said slowly, "So I admire Li Jue's ability at that time. answer, so I’m curious if that’s really his answer.”
"He answered like this." Li You said indifferently, "If we don't go abroad, I'm afraid we will never have the courage to decide the rise and fall of the world with one word!"
"The breadth of vision is the final decision." Chen Xi said silently, "We all wear the coat of the Han Empire. No matter strong or weak, we are all the empire."
I saw that everyone was listening attentively. Chen Xi said slowly, "Just like we generally don't pay attention to the countries around us, the same is generally true for other empires, but that doesn't mean that the empire doesn't know about the empires next to it. We know about Da Qin and know about Anxi, and they will also know about us. !”
"Perhaps the higher-ups of the empire often ignore another empire that is far away, but just like when I said "rest in peace", scholars can quote scriptures. Every empire is the same. We can regard small countries as nothing, but..." Chen Xi He paused for a while and looked at everyone, and everyone also looked at Chen Xi.
"We can't ignore another empire. From the perspective of the country, if you encounter this kind of thing, just think about it with your minds." Chen Xi's calm eyes flashed with a touch of coldness. Something happened. You have to stand high enough to think clearly.
"But Li Zhiran's answer is indeed very good. Everyone here should remember that when we leave the country, we are not just ourselves. Everything about the Han Empire depends on you. And in this era, nothing is more awe-inspiring than force. "Chen Xi said slowly.
"So, I support lending troops to them. Even if Da Qin has more soldiers and Xi'an is stuck in the middle between us and Da Qin, it's time for us to prove ourselves. The pride of the empire relies not only on civilization, but also on force." Chen Xi led. The smiling face looked a little cold at this moment.
"We all agree that we are borrowing troops." Guo Jia glanced at everyone and knew that everyone had the same idea. Ever since Chen Xi took out the world map, going abroad has been considered the way to go in the future.
"Zi Yang made it clear. If the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is to be fully staffed, it will be a challenge to the system and us." Lu Su, a good old man, said cheerfully, "It is not suitable for anyone to be staffed. , even taking turns taking charge is not appropriate.”
"Borrow four thousand troops for Zhiran." Li You said silently, "The rest can be incorporated into Zijian or Yide, but the others are not suitable for the Xiliang cavalry's fighting style."
Li You definitely belongs to the kind of person who gathers talents without avoiding relatives. He will directly recommend the person he thinks is suitable. As for whether he is very close to him, Li You doesn't care much. As for the gossip after others know about it, the facts will prove his decision.
"Wenru, I want to ask something." Man Chong, a guy who usually doesn't speak at military strategy meetings, suddenly said.
"What's the problem with Boning?" Li You looked at Man Chong and was slightly surprised. In his impression, Man Chong generally wouldn't ask questions in this kind of environment.
"To what extent can Li Zhiran be given four thousand Xiliang cavalry?" Man Chong's question went straight to the point, but the coffin face was a bit scary under the dim light.
"With the two thousand soldiers and horses before him, with proper command, he can defeat the 30,000 Taishan veterans led by ordinary generals." Li You thought for a moment and said, "If his legion's talent can cover the entire legion, victory will be More relaxed.”
"It's almost as I guessed. What if I encounter someone who is trying to trick someone?" Man Chong looked at Li You and asked. Li You's answer surprised Man Chong, but he didn't show it. (To be continued.)
