Ganquan Palace.
The emperor's study.
Ying Zheng stopped writing, looked at everyone with a smile, and asked, "Why are you all here?"
He didn't go to see the cavalry battle drill this time because he had guessed the outcome.
In addition, the hot springs in Ganquan Palace have some curative effect on his condition. At this time of year, he will come to Ganquan Palace to soak in the hot springs.
But what he didn't expect was that not only Meng Yi came to Ganquan Palace, but also Wang Jian, Wang Wan, Wang Li, Zhao Hao and others also came to Ganquan Palace.
But he saw Meng Yi glance at Wang Jian, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in this cavalry battle drill, a hit to the chest and abdomen will be considered fatal, and a hit to the torso will be judged as injury;
On Wang Li's side, thirty-five horses were killed or wounded, eighty-five were lightly wounded, and twenty were killed. "
Hearing this, Wang Jian and other generals smiled slightly.
Wang Li and others also smiled.
Ma Xing and others looked cold and said nothing.
"As for the guards."
Meng Yi gave up, then pondered for a while, and said seriously: "One hundred and thirty-two horses were killed and injured, 645 soldiers were killed, and 312 were wounded;
Forty-three people were directly trampled to death by the horses, and the entire army was wiped out! "
Hearing this shocking data, not only Ma Xing and others were a little surprised, but also Ying Zheng, Wang Jian and others looked at each other in surprise.
They couldn't believe the casualties were so heavy.
You know, the guard cavalry are not ordinary cavalry, they are the most elite cavalry in the entire Great Qin.
Such a fine cavalry was actually beaten to the point of annihilation, which can be said to be terrifying.
At the beginning, when Ying Zheng watched Wang Li and the others train in Shanglinyuan, he just felt that they might win, not that they would definitely win.
Now not only was he winning, he was winning impeccably.
This is too incredible.
After recovering from the shock, Ying Zheng looked deeply at Wang Li, and then said decisively in front of everyone, "The result of this battle is obvious, Wang Li's side is completely victorious."
"His Majesty."
Wang Wan stood up and was about to speak, but Wang Jian immediately interrupted him and said: "If the old prime minister has any doubts about the results, why not do the statistics again?"
After saying that, he did not forget to reveal a provocative look.
Wang Wan ignored Wang Jian and just bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, the victory of this battle has been decided. The veterans and generals are convinced. It's just that they were confused before watching the battle and couldn't understand. Please ask Old General Wang to help us." Solve the doubts"
"hehe."
Ma Xing smiled and said jokingly: "I'm afraid the old prime minister has found the wrong person. It is said that General Wang was watching the battle at the racecourse. When he learned that Wang Li was entering the arena, he was so angry that he smashed the table. How could he explain it to us? Confused?"
"fart!"
Wang Jian was unhappy. He thought to himself that you were trying to undermine me in front of His Majesty. He immediately glared and retorted: "I have been on the battlefield for decades and have been invincible. How can I not be able to see the truth?"
"snort!"
Wang Wan snorted coldly and disdained to argue with Wang Jian, so she looked at Wang Li with a smile and said: "Although the exercise is over, you still have some questions. Why don't you explain it to you first, starting from the training."
"this"
Wang Li hesitated and turned to look at Wang Jian.
Wang Jian was still wondering why Wang Wan didn't quarrel with him. When he heard this, he immediately understood. He quickly stopped in front of Wang Li and sneered at Wang Wan: "Old man, don't you think that my grandson's fighting skills are great? Are you stealing lessons?"
"Study on the sly? I don't lead the army in battle, so why should I learn this?"
Wang Wan raised her eyebrows, pointed at the people behind Wang Li and said:
"Besides, they all participated in the training. Everyone knows how Wang Li came up with this fighting method. I'm afraid you want to take it for yourself!"
"No matter how it came about, if my grandson learns it, it will naturally belong to him."
Wang Jian stared and acted like a rogue, then pointed at Wang Li and said: "You dare to spread the tactics of war, be careful I will punish you for leaking military information!"
"Grandpa, me."
Wang Li looked bitter and looked up at Ying Zheng.
But seeing Ying Zheng smiling and saying nothing, he looked at them quietly.
At this time, Wang Wan became more energetic. She didn't plan to ask Wang Li anymore, and pointed directly at Mond: "Mont, come and tell me, what have you gained from this period of training?"
Hearing this, Mond scratched his head in confusion: "I don't know either."
"What do you mean not clear?"
Wang Wan frowned: "Meng Tian has taught you a lot about military affairs. During this period, you and Wang Li were training at the racecourse. Just tell them what you saw and heard!"
"But."
Mond said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "But I really don't know. During this period, I rode a horse and ran every day, just the same thing over and over again. Sometimes there were more people, sometimes there were less people;
When there are few people, we train alone. When there are many people, we cooperate with each other and the distance is closer."
"fool!"
Wang Wan was angry.
He has a very good relationship with Meng Tian and treats Meng as his own grandson.
Seeing that Mond couldn't answer the question no matter how hard he trained, he couldn't help but hate the fact that iron cannot become steel.
When Meng Yi saw this, he also frowned: "You can say whatever you know. Your Majesty is in front of you, so why cover it up?"
"Second uncle, I really don't know. If you don't believe me, ask Li Zhan and the others. They are just like me. They repeat training every day, that's all."
Meng Yi was questioned by Meng Yi and immediately showed a bitter look on his face.
At this time, Wang Li stood up and said with a smile on his face:
"Old Prime Minister, Lang Zhongling, don't blame Brother Mond, he is telling the truth. Our training is just that, even picking up weapons to fight is only a matter of the last few days."
"Did you take up arms and fight in the last few days?"
Ying Zheng also seemed a little surprised: "After training and fighting in such a short period of time, where did the combat power come from? The results just now were not fake!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Li subconsciously looked at Zhao Hao who was silent.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead at this moment, secretly scolding Wang Li for being such a bastard and betraying me again. Sooner or later, I will screw your ass up.
But in front of so many people, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he stood up and said: "Back to my father, ministers, in fact, what Wang Li and the others said is right;
It's just that repeated training of simple movements can make war horses and people have strong discipline, and maintaining such discipline is the key to this strategy. "
Hearing this, Che Ying, who had been listening quietly, nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I have been paying attention to the movements of Wang Li's cavalry just now, and found that they really pay attention to discipline!"
"Um"
Wang Jian and Wang Wan stroked their beards at the same time, carefully recalled what happened at the racecourse, and found that it was indeed the case.
The other generals seemed to have found the key and nodded with smiles.
"but."
Ma Xing asked coldly: "It's a bit unreasonable to defeat the guard cavalry just based on discipline and formation, right? And it was a total annihilation!"
"I also think it's a little strange, but I don't know what's strange about it." Zhao Ping agreed.
Wang Jian glanced at Zhao Hao, stroked his beard and muttered:
"This guard's performance is indeed a bit poor, but when faced with such a tactics, it is understandable that he would lose. It's just that I am very puzzled by such a miserable defeat."
Ying Zheng, who suddenly reacted, looked at Zhao Hao and asked calmly: "Is it because of the cavalry's three-piece suit?"
"oh?"
Hearing this, everyone felt as if they were enlightened. They reacted instantly and looked at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao took advantage of the situation and flattered him: "My father is still a wise man."
Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally, feeling extremely comfortable inside, but on the outside he looked calm and relaxed, waving his hands and saying:
"What's the point? The new cavalry is supposed to verify the three-piece cavalry suit."
"Well, my father is right, but his main performance is still in horseshoes."
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, then looked around at everyone: "You probably haven't noticed that the ground of the racecourse is different, right?"
Wang Jian frowned and said, "When I came here, I found that the soil at the racecourse was a little soft. Could it be the Young Master's doing?"
"Exactly!"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly: "The soft soil is not conducive to the grip of war horses, just like marching in the desert. Without horseshoes, it will affect the cavalry's march."
As he said that, he touched his nose a little embarrassed and said:
"The old general opened such a big handicap, Hao naturally wanted to support him, but Hao's money is not as rich as the old general. In order to win, he naturally had to use some tricks, so he asked the people at the racecourse to sort out the situation."
"you!"
Wang Jian was so angry at Zhao Hao that he puffed his beard and glared. He raised his finger and pointed at him. Suddenly he realized that Ying Zheng was in front of him. He quickly put down his hand and said angrily: "Young Master is so clever!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.
Learning is useless, learning is useless.
When Ying Zheng saw that everyone stopped talking, he smiled and said decisively:
"If the new cavalry wins, then we will reform the military as agreed before. General Wang and the state captain will be responsible for this matter."
"Old minister, I obey."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Wang Jian stood up and bowed his hands in salute, and all the ministers agreed.
Ying Zheng nodded with a smile and looked up at Wang Li: "You performed well this time. I am very satisfied. I will consider that matter!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Li was overjoyed and quickly saluted Ying Zheng.
Zhao Hao tilted his head, confused.
But Ying Zheng laughed again and said: "You don't have to be too modest. I have heard about the analysis of military rations. There is a bright future. I will continue to work hard in the future. Let's talk about other things when Marquis Tongwu comes back."
Hearing this, Zhao Hao became even more confused and looked at Wang Li blankly.
Wang Li grinned and said nothing more.
What does this mean? Is there anything you are hiding from me? Bullying honest people?
Zhao Hao left Ying Zheng's study room full of doubts.
"What's wrong, Brother Hao, I've been suffering a lot during this period. We're going to have a meal and have some fun. Do you want to come with us?"
When Gongzi Liang saw Zhao Hao coming out, he greeted him with a smile.
Zhao Hao glanced at him, shook his head and said: "I won't go. You guys have really worked hard, go and have fun!"
"Let's go together!"
The young master Jiang Lu said with relief on his face: "Don't be afraid, we are in the city this time, no assassins will dare to come!"
"Sixth Brother, there is nothing I can't handle. I'm still worried. You go and play. I won't cause any trouble for you."
Zhao Hao smiled helplessly, then took out a money bag and handed it to Gong Ziliang: "Thanks to you, I can make money. This consumption is mine. Have a good time!"
"Since Brother Hao won't go, then we can go by ourselves."
Gong Ziliang put away his money bag, turned around and raised his eyebrows at everyone:
"Well, let me just say that my brother Hao is pretty good. Should we go to Piaoxiang Pavilion or Yingchun Pavilion?"
"Both go!"
"Let's go!"
After watching Gong Ziliang and others leave, Zhao Hao turned to look at Zhang Cang: "Want something to drink?"
