The voices of the old and young people talking in the car were very low.
Liang Xiao asked: "Grandpa, do you think it is possible for the imperial court to bring the Sword Clan back?"
Mu Dingguo said: "That depends on your efforts. The concept of this ethnic group is difficult to fathom, and they are divided into several different factions, each of which has many capable people. Your master should have told you the origin of the Gongsun family, maybe You know the Sword Clan better than I do."
Liang Xiao understood and stopped asking.
The Sword Clan has its own unique way of dealing with people.
A strange scene occurred during the Wu Dynasty. The leader of the rebel army and the marshal responsible for countering the rebellion were both from the Sword Clan.
Several carriages stopped outside the military camp and did not drive into the military camp. After the grandfather and grandson brought Liang Xiao in, they did not make a big fuss. They just quietly took a special chariot in the military camp and went to the Chinese army's tent.
This made Liang Xiao quite happy.
This shows that Mu Dingguo is indeed rigorous in running the army.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Mu Dingguo was sitting in the main seat, opposite was Liang Xiao, and Mu Lingxiao and other generals were sitting on both sides.
After Mu Lingxiao's introduction, the generals greeted Liang Xiao one by one with fists in their hands.
Liang Xiao also responded with clasped fists, but he saw it clearly.
These generals had more doubts and worries in their eyes.
After everyone sat down, Mu Dingguo spoke.
"After Liang Xiao became the Marquis of Lanling, he was granted the title of Grand Administrator of Yanzhou. He held the Emperor's Order Sword and was in charge of Yanzhou's military affairs. He also intended to consolidate national defense for the imperial court."
"Right now, he needs His Majesty to allocate tens of thousands of good horses, and thinks it is urgent to form cavalry... Liang Xiao, how many cavalry do you think you need to dispatch?"
Liang Xiao said: "Marshal, including the existing Liang family army, we still need at least five thousand cavalry. Of course, the more, the better."
"The more the merrier?" The generals were stunned and began to whisper among themselves.
"Isn't it too much to give him five thousand people?"
"Isn't he a civil servant? There are only so many cavalrymen in Zhou Dynasty. Give him so many at once..."
Liang Xiao listened to the generals' discussion and was not displeased.
Almost all of these veterans have been promoted from the bottom, so it is reasonable to have such concerns.
Mu Dingguo explained: "Yanzhou now has sufficient military rations. Allocating some cavalry there can also reduce the military ration pressure on Ji County. Let Yanzhou transport the food directly, and the logistics team will always consume it on the way."
"Marshal, it's not that Ji County can't supply this little food and grass, we can't lose a big thing for a small amount!" a general said righteously.
Mu Dingguo said: "Liang Xiao is highly appreciated by Prime Minister Zhuge, including his way of training troops. The Liang family's army is well-trained and is now the top elite in the country. It is not impossible to assign him a cavalry."
"Marshal, the Liang family army is supported by the imperial court according to elite standards. The problem is that they are not elite soldiers..." A general looked depressed.
Mu Dingguo finally showed his displeasure and said: "Assigning him cavalry is a top priority now. I have called you here to discuss the number of cavalry, not whether he can do it! Besides, the overall quality of those good horses in the Western Regions The war horses in the Far Victory Army are all assigned to him now, and I also hope that the veterans can take the lead!"
The generals were still worried and asked questions one after another.
"Marquis Lanling, as a civil servant, do you really have the confidence to command and dispatch so many cavalry? The cavalry is not a simple infantry!"
"Marquis Lanling, one cavalryman is worth more than five infantrymen. If we attack rashly, we will suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out. The consequences will be disastrous!"
The generals said nothing to each other, but they refused to believe that the eighteen-year-old Liang Xiao could lead thousands of cavalry.
Mu Lingxiao couldn't stand it anymore and comforted him: "Liang Xiao, the generals have no ill intentions, it's just..."
"It doesn't matter. If the generals agree without hesitation, I will have to doubt their level as generals." Liang Xiao said with a smile.
The generals were stunned.
They just pointed at Liang Xiao's nose and said he was in trouble. How could he still respond with understanding?
Liang Xiao stood up and said: "You should also know about the Great Zhou Martial Saint and the founding Marquis of Lanling and Dingguo."
"It's like thunder! What's more, the marshal is here! But we can't use it as a reason for you to lead thousands of cavalry just because your grandfather is brave enough?" A general stood up. road.
"Of course not!" Liang Xiao nodded and changed the topic, "I would like to ask you generals, why are these names so famous in history? The Martial Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the most brave in the three armies, and the cavalry under his command is even more famous all over the world?"
The generals looked at Liang Xiao doubtfully, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and they all said, "Please give me some advice from Marquis Lanling! We are all rough people, so it's okay for Marquis Lanling to just tell you!"
Liang Xiao raised his head and said, "That's because the Martial Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty must personally go into battle at every station, and even take the lead, so the soldiers must pay attention to their lives! I am not talented, but I am proficient in martial arts. What the Martial Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty can do, I can also do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene was awkward.
Another general couldn't help but stood up and said: "Marquis Lanling, I am a rough man, so I won't beat around the bush! The Great Zhou Wusheng is your grandfather's clan brother. Although the blood relationship is not as close as that of the cousins, in terms of seniority, he can still be regarded as your uncle. Sir. Zhou Wusheng is the faith of our country’s soldiers, if you were to say what you said today to another person, I would definitely reprimand you severely!”
Liang Xiao looked at the person who made the sound.
General Dong Lian was one of the cavalry officers in the northern military camp.
Other generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were guarding everywhere. Dong Lian was already a high-ranking military officer here, second only to Chariot and Cavalry General Mu Dingguo and Northern Expedition General Mu Lingxiao.
This man is thirty-five years old, has great military exploits, and is extremely brave.
Another general stood up quickly and said: "Don't mind, Marquis Lanling. General Dong always speaks his mind, and Wu Sheng also supports his belief in joining the army. Let's talk about it, our marshal and General Zhengbei both have their own faults." Brave, even the two of them dare not compare with the Martial Saint. Marquis Lanling, you were somewhat arrogant just now..."
Liang Xiao smiled and said, "It seems that you all regard me as a useless scholar."
Mu Lingxiao quickly reminded: "Liang Xiao personally led the attack, leading a hundred cavalry to defeat Beihu's five hundred cavalry, and no one under his command was killed!"
The generals fell silent.
This is something they have never been able to understand.
This matter has been certified by the Xuanwei of the capital, so it stands to reason that it cannot be false.
But Liang Xiao, as a celebrity of the emperor...
Liang Xiao saw the reaction of the generals in his eyes and smiled again: "Do you still think that this matter may be because I am in your Majesty's favor, so Xuanwei used the back door for me to falsely report my merits?"
When Liang Xiao revealed his thoughts, many generals blushed and were speechless.
They really think so.
When Mu Dingguo saw it, his face suddenly dropped: "I can't bear to see you embarrass a young man who is loyal to the emperor and serving the country like this!"
The generals were about to defend themselves, but Liang Xiao spoke.
"Thank you Marshal for your protection, but the generals' worries are not unreasonable. I think it is useless to talk more, so why not let me ask for advice from the generals or the martial arts of their masters, so that everyone will know better in the future."
As soon as Liang Xiao finished speaking, the scene was filled with excitement!
