Chapter 116 The strengths and weaknesses of the Longxiang army, who is Lin Xiangru?
Half a month later, Handan.
"King, this is basically the case." Le Yi said to Zhao He very respectfully.
Today, Le Yi mainly came to report on the performance of the Longxiang Army in the Battle of Shangjun.
Zhao He listened carefully to Le Yi's report and nodded repeatedly.
In general, the Longxiang Army's entry into the battle did play the role Zhao He wanted.
Zhao He said: "General Le Yi, in your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the Longxiang Army and the direction of improvement?"
The so-called practice brings true knowledge, and let Le Yi, a general who has specifically commanded the Longxiang Army, have definitely made a lot of practical information.
Faced with Zhao He's inquiry, Le Yi subconsciously straightened his body and said, "Best, in my opinion, every knight in the Longxiang Army must be equipped with more than two entourages, and also two war horses are required, which is the standard logistics configuration.
Although the Longxiang Army was extremely powerful when it rushed, its armor was too heavy, and the physical energy consumption of knights and horses was also extremely huge. Therefore, the Longxiang Army should not be considered as a conventional combat army, but should be regarded as an ace army that was used to disperse the enemy's defense line at a critical moment and open up the situation. Finally…”
Le Yi paused, his face slightly hesitated.
Zhao He smiled and said, "General Le Yi, but it's okay!"
Le Yi then said: "The king, I am brave. Although the Longxiang Army is strong, the Central Plains is not the place where the Longxiang Army gallops. I think that the best occasion for the Longxiang Army to be useful for Qin, Yan, Yuezhi, Xiongnu Hu."
Le Yi said this naturally for his reason.
Today's Central Plains are completely different from later generations. The climate is mild and rainy, and the water network is dense. There are dozens of tributaries in the Yellow River and Huaihe River water systems, and the water transportation is extremely developed. It is no exaggeration to call it the Central Plains water town.
You should know that Asian elephants and Asian rhinos can still wander in the Huaihe River Basin at this time. In later generations, their survival range has retreated to the equator thousands of kilometers away.
Where water nets are densely packed, it is naturally not suitable for large-scale cavalry, especially heavy cavalry operations such as the Longxiang Army.
However, the Longxiang Army was an army established by Zhao He at a high price. Le Yi was also a little worried that if he was so blunt, would it arouse the king's anger?
Le Yi soon realized that he was overthinking.
Zhao He blinked and laughed: "That's right, it's okay. To be honest, I'm going to build the Longxiang Army for Qin and the Huns. Okay, General Le Yi, just train the Longxiang Army well, and that Lian Po also knows that he is a powerful general, so you can give him some advice."
Le Yi stood up and said respectfully: "Here, that minister has sued."
When he walked out of the entrance of the hall, Le Yi was somewhat confused.
Qin is indeed very strong, but isn’t Qi the strongest in the world now? Why does the king seem to have put the threat level of Qin higher?
Moreover, what the hell were the Huns? Now the Hus in the western region are obviously respected by Lin Hu and Yuezhi. The Huns... seem to be just a third-rate tribe, right?
Le Yi held his chin: "I always feel that the king's focus is very strange."
Le Yi, who had not figured it out, walked down the palace and gave his younger brother Le Cheng a kick before walking down the steps.
"Stand guard well and don't move around."
Le Cheng, who was about to come up, smiled embarrassedly and stood back to the entrance of the hall.
Le Cheng feels so painful.
My elder brother Le Yi is now a powerful general in Zhao State, but I, Le Cheng, want to watch the king here!
When will I have a day to make a comeback?
Suddenly, Le Cheng's eyes lit up and stopped Miao Xian who had just climbed the steps.
"Yi, let's discuss something?"
Miao Xian slapped Le Cheng's hand unhappily: "If you have a fart, just let it go!"
If it were usual, the two of them would have to fight a few words, but today Le Cheng didn't have the intention to do so. He smiled flatteringly: "Yi, we are good friends too. Look at when will we give me some good words in front of the king and let someone go to war with the army next time?"
Miao Xian snorted heavily: "Let's talk about it when you have time!"
After saying that, he walked around Le Cheng and walked into the hall.
Le Cheng was stunned and then sighed.
"Oh, some general's dream..."
Miao Xian walked into the hall and saluted Zhao He respectfully: "King."
Zhao He looked up at Miao Xian and couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, it turns out that my eunuch's order is here."
Miao Xian's face turned slightly red and said, "King, it is the information sent back from Linzi by the Foreign Intelligence Department."
After a pause, Miao Xian said again: "This information should come from Su Qin."
"Su Qin?" Zhao He was stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately became serious: "Take it to me."
Since the last meeting, Su Qin has actually become a spy owned by Zhao and Yan.
Generally speaking, it is not an important matter. Su Qin would not rashly pass on information to Handan.
Miao Xian sent the information.
Zhao He opened his eyes and his face changed slightly.
There is a sentence written on it.
"The envoy of the King of Qi has arrived in Jidu and will order the King of Yan to send troops to help Qi attack Song!"
Zhao He frowned gently.
This second attack on Song came so quickly...
Zhao He thought for a while and said, "Send someone to reply to Su Qin immediately and tell me that I have my own opinions and let him wait and see what he wants to do."
Miao Xian nodded and said, "Here!"
Miao Xian was about to turn around and leave, but Zhao He called him again.
"Miao Xian, has your mansion been built?"
The eunuch ordered him to be a regular official in Zhao State, and he had a very high position and could build a mansion for himself outside the palace.
Miao Xian was stunned for a moment and smiled apologized: "Return to the king, I have just taken office not long ago, and the mansion is still in the building. Moreover, I also want to be by the king and serve the king more."
Zhao He smiled slightly and said, "What should be built is still to be built. Also, when your mansion is built, remember to attract more visitors, which will be useful for me in the future."
Miao Xian did not dare to neglect and responded.
Zhao He said again: "By the way, if one day a man named Lin Xiangru comes to join you, do you remember to tell me, do you understand?"
"Lin Xiangru?" Miao Xian was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "I remember."
When he left the palace, Miao Xian still recited quietly in his mouth.
"Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru..."
Who is Lin Xiangru?
I don't seem to have heard of this name before.
Could it be that this is actually a powerful person hidden in the mountains and fields, and was learned by the king?
But how did the king know that Lin Xiangru would come to join me?
You can't be the king who predicts it before he knows it?
Thinking of this, Miao Xian couldn't help laughing.
