Deng Zhong and Zhou Yong thought for a long time, and finally linked the matter with stirrups at the same time.

Zhou Yong's force is unquestionable. There are only two possible ways for him to defeat him like this. One is that the opponent is indeed a powerful general who is selected from thousands of miles away, and the other is that the opponent's equipment is much greater than that.

It is obvious that the other party is not an amazing general. It can be seen from his status in the Yulin Army. Then there is only the second possibility left. Could it be that these two small steps really have such a big effect?

Deng finally asked Wu Gai for advice, and Wu Gai said, "I have received a hundred pairs of saddle stirrups from the arsenal, which is considered as something that Your Majesty has given to you. You can try it yourself tomorrow!"

The next day, one hundred Nanyang cavalry replaced them with high saddles, installed stirrups, galloped on horseback, danced with spears and halberds, and shouted magical.

Zhou Yong said: "Now I know why Zhu Qi could turn around and thorn back so hard, because it was because of the power of the stirrup."

Someone said, "No wonder they said that just one person can defeat our strongest person. They are well equipped!"

After Deng Zhong's personal test, he felt much better because this shows that it was not because the quality of the Nanyang soldiers was not good, but because the equipment was not good.

He sighed, "This is really a magical craftsman. A small stirrup is so magical. What kind of head should a skilled craftsman who can come up with this stirrup? How did he think of it?"

Wu Gai smiled and said, "This skilled craftsman is His Majesty today. The stirrups and the saddle are designed by His Majesty themselves. What His Majesty thinks is hard to predict, and it is not something we dare to say."

Deng was very surprised. He had heard too many magical things about Emperor Jianshi along the way. He was greedy, so he improved the stone mill and greatly enriched the people's food. He felt that it was difficult to attack the city, so he designed a series of thunder chariots, and used it to attack the city, and everything was defeated. Now even the stirrup was designed by His Majesty himself. Just such a small object has increased the combat power of the cavalry team several times.

What exactly did Emperor Jianshi do with his head? This person is so wise and close to the demon. What else can he not do?

Such a person cannot be found for hundreds of years and cannot be treated by ordinary people. Could it be that he was sent by King Jing of Chengyang to shepherd Wanmin?

In Deng Zhong's heart, Emperor Jianshi became more and more mysterious, making people involuntarily feel awe. At this time, he believed Deng Chen's words a little. No wonder Emperor Jianwu Liu Xiu had no confidence to fight to the death and chose to retreat quickly. The cavalry equipped with stirrups would definitely defeat Youzhou's cavalry.

He asked, "Wujun, how many Han cavalry have equipped stirrups?"

"Before the Luoyang War, only the cavalry of Chang'an and Shangjun used stirrups. After this battle, His Majesty issued an order to quickly arrange the stirrups to all the cavalry. As for how many cavalry there were in the Han Dynasty, I don't know exactly. Liangzhou horses, Bingzhou soldiers and cavalry, Yulin cavalry, and cavalry from each county, there are always 100,000!"

Deng Zhong secretly stumbled his tongue. The cavalry equipped with stirrups was so proud. Who could compare with this strength?

Wugai said: "Your Majesty has built a heavy cavalry team. Without stirrups, this team cannot be established."

The heavy cavalry's armor was too heavy. If there were no stirrups, the knight would probably not be able to sit on the horse immediately, and it would be even more impossible to launch a steadily attack.

Deng Zhong said: "Can I let me see the heavy cavalry?"

Wu Gai said: "What's wrong? The heavy cavalry is about to come for a joint training tomorrow. I'll take you to see it."

Deng Zhong wanted to see Emperor Jianshi's military strength. He was afraid that the other party would not be able to understand it, but he didn't expect that Wu Gai would not hide anything about him, and he was simply talking about everything.

He didn't know that Liu Yu had already explained that he didn't have to hide his strength to the Nanyang envoy, he would see whatever he wanted. Because he didn't have to deal with an opponent of Deng Feng's level like he did when dealing with Liu Xiu, he had to hold back his ultimate move and do something unexpected. If he wanted to attack Nanyang, he would just send troops to force him.

Now that I want to recruit a reduction, I just consider that the cost of forced promotion is too high and not worth it, and it is not that I can’t fight.

On the contrary, this thorough display of strength will allow the other party to see the strength gap between the two parties and realize more clearly that resistance is futile and surrender is their only way out.

As expected, Deng Zhong was very shocked by the joint training of heavy cavalry the next day. For the first time, he knew that cavalry could still be used like this and fight like this.

Facing the heavy cavalry rumbled across the ground, Deng finally felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He felt that he was just a small ant and would be trampled to death if he was accidentally stepped on.

Who can resist this ultimate killing weapon? No wonder the god of war Liu Xiu returned in Luoyang in a defeated manner.

What's even more terrifying is that he didn't know what cards Emperor Jianshi was holding, what kind of equipment he would invent and build a powerful army.

Now Yingchuan County has fallen into the hands of Jianshihan. If Liu Yu wants to attack Nanyang, he can send troops from three sides and squeeze-type combat, instead of being able to attack from one direction in the east like Cen Peng.

To deal with Cen Peng, Deng Feng only needs to block Ye County, the gateway to the Nanyang Basin, to keep Cen Peng's army out. But if he deals with Liu Yu and blocks Ye County, Qiu Zhi in the north can send troops from Wancheng, and Zhang Yun in the west can send troops from Hanzhong. Nanyang is a dough, and the Han army is the big hand, and he can fold the dough flat and round to the fullest.

Deng finally waited for the summons of His Majesty the Emperor with this sense of powerlessness.

This time the summoning was in Hanguang Hall, which was a small-scale banquet. The emperor invited Deng Zhong to have hot pot, and only Wu Gai and Banden were there to accompany him.

Deng finally knew very well that the more private the meeting, the more certain the matter would be. The summons in the hall were all done by the formality.

He cheered up and thought about maintaining decentness, not embarrassing his brother, and trying his best to win his own interests.

Deng Zhong entered the palace with trepidation and met the legendary Emperor Jianshi for the first time. What made him relieved was that the emperor did not have the arrogance of being arrogant, but was easy-going to eat with them.

"No need to be polite." The emperor helped Deng Zhong up and said, "Today, there are only four of us, who are about the same age, and we can open our minds and talk about what we think in our hearts."

I have to say that this meeting was more than a little better than when Deng Zhong met Liu Xiu for the first time. Maybe it was because the few people were of the same age, or maybe it was because of the steaming hot pot communication method that made him feel much more relaxed.

The emperor said: "Deng Feng of Nanyang is the most brave in the world, which makes me yearn for it, and I always want to get it so fast."

One sentence bluntly showed the emperor's importance to Deng Feng, which made Deng Zhong feel so happy that he was about to thank his brother, but the emperor's next sentence was extremely inconsistent with the relaxed atmosphere at the moment, which surprised Deng Zhong and became furious.
