Chapter 983 Conversation
Zhou Xu's thinking was smooth. After quickly writing the reward for the troops in the southern border, he signaled the messenger to take them to the southern border.
"General Jie has arrived, right?"
"Yes, he is already waiting in the side hall."
Zhou Xu nodded, then stood up and walked towards the side hall Go.
Before he even entered, Zhou Xu saw Liancheng slumped on the chair with his legs crossed, holding a piece of tea in his hand and putting it in his mouth. He really didn't feel any pressure at all.
However, when he saw Zhou Xu coming in, Xie Liancheng immediately became more serious, stood up, saluted, and went through the process.
"The general will untie Liancheng and see your majesty!"
"The general is exempt from the courtesy."
After signaling that the general will untie Liancheng without the courtesy, Zhou Xu turned to Hill Ke gave an order.
"Silk, go and guard outside the door. The general and I have something to discuss."
"Yes!"
As soon as Silk left, the gate of the side hall was closed, and Liancheng was solved The whole person suddenly disappeared.
“Damn it, Hongxu, you can do it. This Black Moon City is developing, let me take over Aru and Qihu later!”
“Okay, I’ll make arrangements directly later. A group of people went to Xianyang to pick them up and arrange a house for them in the city."
Zhou Xu just said that the house was arranged for him, so it was no big deal.
Not only because of the brotherhood between the two of them, but also because of Xie Liancheng's contribution to their great Zhou Dynasty.
The body-building boxing developed by Xie Liancheng alone was enough for Zhou Xu to keep giving him a house.
After quickly talking about the moving of his wife and children, Xie Liancheng was unequivocal and directly chatted with Zhou Xu about the business.
“Tell me, how to deal with Lord Ma’s matter?”
"Actually, I have already written what I want to say in the letter. As you know, the trapped camp is my ace unit. Among all the troops in our Great Zhou Dynasty, the soldiers in the trapped camp have the highest requirements. They are all selected from the best, and what I want from them is an all-powerful heavy armored force!"
As for Jie Liancheng, Zhou Xu did not hide anything and spoke directly.
“With high-intensity training, the soldiers trapped in the camp have no problem with physical fitness, but the quality of the war horses is not enough.”
“As a mount for a heavy armored unit , the physical strength of the existing war horses is really poor. While it limits the charging speed, it also makes the iron cavalry trapped in the formation only have the power of one blow in many cases."
"In response to this problem, I tell you. The person in charge of domesticating war horses in Zhou Dynasty discussed..."
While talking, Zhou Xu briefly relayed the content of his discussion with Ma Guotao to Xie Liancheng.
“So our idea now is to either eliminate the heavy armored cavalry and completely transform the trapped camp into a heavy armored infantry unit, and no longer use it as a cavalry force.”
“Or It is to solve the problem of war horses. Use the essence and blood of extraordinary creatures to breed war horses of alien beast level or even extraordinary level, and then use that war horse for breeding. Through continuous breeding, we can solve the problem of war horses trapped in the camp. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu’s voice paused.
“Even if it is only at the level of a strange beast, once this kind of war horse is cultivated and bred in large numbers, it will not only be trapped in the camp, but all the cavalry units in our Great Zhou Army will be comprehensively improved!”< br>
"Except for the high cost, the only shortcoming of the heavy armored cavalry is mobility."
"Old Jie, think about it, once you have the beast-level war horse, the shortcoming in mobility will be made up for. So how strong should our Zhou Dynasty's heavy armored cavalry be in terms of dominance on the cold weapon battlefield?" When Zhou Xu talked about this topic, he became a little excited unconsciously.
“It’s not just the cold weapon battlefield. Even in the age of firearms, heavy armored cavalry equipped with exotic beasts and horses are still effective against firearms such as matchlocks and flintlock muskets. Suppressive power! ”
Jie Liancheng is naturally no stranger to cold weapon battlefields. Without the heavy armored cavalry with low mobility, it is completely conceivable how strong the suppressive power will be.
Even if you don't form heavy armored cavalry, and instead use exotic beasts and horses to form normal light armored cavalry, you can bring more terrifying charging speed and formation ability to the cavalry troops!
In the long run, this is related to the improvement of their military strength as a whole.
"If you eat that drop of blood, you will die if you fail?"
Zhou Xu had already said this in the letter, but Xie Liancheng couldn't help but confirm it again.
“As far as the current situation is concerned, that is correct.”
Zhou Xu nodded directly and gave the answer, but when he said it, he didn't forget to add another sentence.
"I came here this time to let Lord Ma give it a try and see if Lord Ma dares to take the initiative to eat the drop of blood."
Revolving around this matter, Zhou Xu explained a little bit One sentence.
“Blood essence is the life essence of extraordinary creatures, and it also contains the breath of extraordinary creatures. Over there at the racecourse, let alone ordinary war horses, even the sweat-blooded horses like Lord Ma, just smell I wanted to run away when I saw the smell."
"This also gave me a rough idea, that is, there is no chance of success for a war horse that dares not take the initiative to eat blood."
< br>
"So if Lord Ma doesn't want to eat it then, then forget about it."
After all, Lord Ma saved Jie Liancheng's life on the battlefield, and Zhou Xu also knew how much his brother liked Ma Prince, Zhou Xu didn't intend to gamble with Prince Ma's life when there was a high chance that there would be no chance.
“Of course, if Lord Ma is willing to eat it and succeeds, then Lord Ma will definitely stay at the racecourse in the next few years.”
“We have to wait until successful breeding. After producing a new breed of war horse and ensuring that the new breed of war horse has reached a certain scale and can be stably bred internally, it can be considered to go to the racecourse for breeding on a regular basis."
Xie Liancheng can understand Zhou Xu's words. At the same time, I was also mentally prepared.
After all, once the horse prince successfully digests blood essence and becomes a strange beast or extraordinary creature, its breeding value in the Great Zhou Dynasty will completely crush its value as a war horse on the battlefield.
In this case, they will never allow Lord Ma to make any mistakes.
Just like the first bloody horse that Zhou Xu obtained, he never let it go to the battlefield once from beginning to end.
After quickly finishing the business conversation and confirming the matter with Xie Liancheng, Zhou Xu had no intention of nagging.
"Let's go to the grassland horse farm together tomorrow morning. Before that..."
While talking, Zhou Xu called Hilke in and confirmed the number of documents delivered in the afternoon.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you in the afternoon. I have to finish some work before departure. I'll call someone to take you around the city."
In this regard, Xie Liancheng also expressed his understanding.
Although Zhou Xu now has Huo Qubing and Li Bowen as his right-hand men, who assist him in handling daily government affairs, they also allow him to leave the palace appropriately and do other things.
But before you go, what should be arranged and what should be done must be arranged and done well, instead of suddenly disappearing.
