The most feared thing by the rest people is the Daning steppe wolf ride, the light cavalry on the grassland has a unique advantage, almost every grassland man grew up on horseback, and their horse riding skills are far from being compared with those who only train horseback riding after adulthood.

The Central Plains people and the grassland cavalry duel, there are only two and a half victories in history so far, one is the Chu time Xu drove the army into the grassland to quell the rebellion, with the Chu cavalry to defeat the grassland cavalry, the other is shortly after the founding of Daning, the sworn brother of the Emperor Taizu of Daning, the general Tang Pi took the Daning cavalry into the grassland and won the battle, the most recent one can only be regarded as a half-time victory, His Majesty the Emperor ordered the forbidden army general Xiahou Zhi to lead 10,000 forbidden troops to ride into the grassland, but only some rebels can be beaten, It does not represent the real strength of the steppe.

The grassland people have forgotten about Xu Qiyu, and now when it comes to it, few people still remember the victory of the Chu army, but they still remember how Tang Pidi fought, and they still dare not forget it after hundreds of years, not only the first battle of the grassland, Tang Pidi is a legend in this life.

At the age of sixteen, he met Emperor Taizu at the same age, because Emperor Taizu saved his life and always followed, and the two of them joined forces to join the famous Green Eyebrow Army at that time to be reused, but soon after the Green Eyebrow Army was defeated because of infighting, and then Emperor Taizu and Tang Rival used up all the money they had accumulated for several years, bought 600 war horses on the grassland, and trained a terrifying light horse.

After that, Tang Pidi was ordered by Emperor Taizu to lead his army south, starting from the initial 8,000 subordinates, and two years later, he defeated nearly one-third of the territory of Great Chu and already had 200,000 troops.

At that time, someone persuaded Emperor Taizu that the Tang Dynasty had a self-respecting army, and it would be difficult to check and balance if there was a disobedience, and asked Emperor Taizu to reduce the military power of the Tang Emperor, and Emperor Taizu was angry and cut off the heads of all the people who said these words, and after hearing the news, Tang Rival returned alone to ask Emperor Taizu to allow him to hand over his military power, and Emperor Taizu's first sentence at that time was...... , I'll recruit you 50,000 new soldiers, take them all with you when you go back, and continue to fight those unconvinced guys!

Whether it is Xu Qiyu in the Chu period, or Tang rival at the beginning of the founding of Daning, they are all peerless famous generals, and there is no second person who can compare with them since ancient times.

At that time, the strength of the soldiers of the Chu Mansion was as strong as the strength of the Daning soldiers now.

The Sabbatarians had been preparing for so long, but what they were waiting for was not the steppe light cavalry but a terrifying firearm that they didn't know what to name, and the defeat of the Right Guard was a battle of great significance, a battle of weapon evolution.

So.

What about steppenwolf riding?

Emperor Galocchio stood on the wall of Wangting City and looked out with clairvoyance, there were many people in the Ning army camp outside the city, he looked carefully, and finally saw the cavalry camp on the side of the Ning army camp, the leather armor on the cavalry over there was not the same color as the armor of the Daning soldiers, but the distance was indeed too far, how could it be possible to see it clearly.

"If they attack the city, the cavalry will lose its meaning."

Galok lowered his clairvoyance: "However, all the stone-throwing carts of the Right Guard Army fell into the hands of the Ning people, and it was not easy for Wang Tingcheng to defend it......"

Ma Ge asked, "Do you want to transfer King Zuoxian's army back?" ”

"Not necessarily."

The letter written by Shen Leng to Zuo Xian King Lei Ta involuntarily appeared in Galoclio's mind, and he frowned slightly: "After Lei Ta led the troops out, he didn't move, it seems that he blocked Shen Leng's Ning army in the distance, but in fact, Shen Leng's subordinates did not exceed 50,000 people, and Lei Ta used more than 80,000 elites of the Left Guard Army to block 50,000 people, this battle is not fought like this." ”

Ma Ge keenly sensed something wrong from Galocliu's words, could it be that His Majesty was suspicious of Reta? Thinking of this, he came to his senses, abandoning Nie Di was cut off by His Majesty because of the successive defeats, this was a matter of military law, and it was not too much, but how could King Zuo Xian not have hatred in his heart, Lei Ta did not lead the army to attack the Ning army of Shen Leng's department, but just put the army there, not so much that he contained a part of the Ning army, but that the Ning army contained more than 80,000 elites.

"I've decided not to send a message to Reta to withdraw his troops."

Galok looked at Ma Ge: "This is also one of the retreats I left for you, you defend the royal court for fifteen days, fifteen days if nothing happens I have crossed the Zangbo River, fifteen days later, hand over the Ning people to Leita, you take people to withdraw quietly." ”

Ma Ge sighed in his heart, Reta and him have also been close friends for many years, and Reta and him have been Galocle's right-hand men over the years, but because of the defeat of Abandoning Nie Di, it seems that His Majesty is even giving up Retta.

"Minister...... Got it. ”

Galok nodded slightly: "I care that your life is far heavier than anyone else, and in the future, you will follow me and fight back, and what Ning people give us, we will return it to Ning people." ”

If Ma Ge had heard such words in the past, he would have been moved in his heart, and felt that His Majesty was different from others, but today, he couldn't mention any gratitude, Your Majesty didn't even want the Left Guard and the Right Guard, what else could he care about.

Moreover, this time His Majesty's style of play is obviously wrong, and he can't say what is wrong.

Night.

Galoculi was reading in the study, still reading Daning's military book, and the most trusted strategist beside him, Partridge, looked at him cautiously, and wanted to say something but endured it.

Partridge is a child of a poor family, he met him on the way to Galocle's battle, maybe Galocleo was just a rare kind attack to take him in, but I didn't expect this young man to show his mind and strategy later are impressive, more than ten years later, he is already the first strategist around Galokliu, although there is no real official position, but even if it is such a high-ranking and powerful person as the Left Sage King and the Right Sage King, he must be polite in front of him, everyone knows, if Galoklei's stubbornness is committed, He could listen to no one but Partridge.

"What do you want to say?"

Garokloch glanced up at Partridge.

"Your Majesty, this battle is actually not here to fight the Ning people, right?"

The corners of Galocleo's mouth raised slightly: "People like you are prone to early death. ”

Partridge smiled bitterly: "But the minister can't pretend to be stupid, and what Your Majesty needs is not a person who pretends to be stupid." ”

"You have a point."

Galocleo put down the book in his hand: "It's not okay for others to pretend to be smart in front of me, it's not okay for you to pretend to be stupid in front of me, when I talked to Prime Minister Su Gu before this expedition, he said that the only thing that can see through His Majesty's mind is Partridge Lie, say, when did you see it." ”

"The king's expedition this time is to use a newcomer like Nie Di, he has no experience in leading troops, and he has never had experience in contact with other countries, His Majesty sent him to contact the countries of the Western Regions, this is one of them."

"Second, Your Majesty knew that Abandoning Nie Di was not Shen Leng's opponent, and he also knew that Abandoning Nie Di's talent to lead the troops was not enough to deliver his tens of thousands of troops, but he still did so, so that Abandoning Nie Di's army was defeated, and His Majesty killed him in a rage."

"Third, after killing Nie Di, Your Majesty transferred his father, Zuo Xianwang Leita, and Shen Leng communicated with him, but Your Majesty still did not change his will."

Partridge Lie sighed: "Fourth, Your Majesty let the Right Guard Army resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of Ning State, and knew that there were

When the northeast wind came, the Right Guard Army was still placed outside the city, and the fiasco of the Right Guard Army should have been expected by His Majesty a long time ago. ”

Galacques shook his head, "I should have killed you." ”

Partridge smiled bitterly: "The minister knows that these words should not be said, but the minister still can't help but say them." ”

Galacculus laughed, "Are you gambling that I won't want to kill you?" You're right, I'm really reluctant to kill you. ”

He stepped aside and took a sip of water before saying, "Then tell me, why did I do this?" ”

Partridge asked, "Didn't the minister say yes?" ”

Galocle smiled and said, "I don't want to kill you yet, if you don't say it, I'll kill you." ”

Partridge Lie was helpless, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he said: "Your Majesty has fought over the years, and has relied on the two virtuous kings on the left and right, and over the years, His Majesty's courtiers, the two virtuous kings have received the highest rewards, and the left virtuous king Reta has outstanding combat achievements, according to the reward rules set by His Majesty, his fief has been six hundred li, and the fief of the right sage king Ma Ge is also six hundred li, in addition, the family strength of these two people has become too large to control, and at least a quarter of the Chinese officials and military generals of the dynasty come from these two families. ”

Partridge Lie glanced at Galoclio's face, and continued with courage: "In recent years, the people in the Reta family have become more and more domineering, they already have so many fiefs but they are not satisfied, in the country to enclose a large number of land, relying on His Majesty's reuse, the Reta family has become unruly, six hundred miles of fiefdom is not too much, encroaching on the surroundings, at least it has been expanded for another hundred miles, and more importantly, Reta and Ma Ge have continuously placed the people in the family in the left and right guards, and now there are forty-eight generals in the left guards, Thirty-two of them were from his family, and fifty-two were generals of the Right Guard, of whom thirty-six were from the Ma Ge family. ”

Garock nodded, "Go on." ”

"If these two people are allowed to be domineering again, the resentment of the people in the country will not be suppressed, but they have outstanding military achievements and cannot be punished, and Reta and Ma Ge have the gold medal of avoiding death given by His Majesty, but for the sake of the Rest Empire, if these two people and these two families are not suppressed, the empire will have a crisis."

Garlock snorted, "You're right. ”

He looked at Partridge and said seriously, "Are you really not afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Partridge laughed miserably: "I'm afraid, but Your Majesty asked the minister to say it, and the minister didn't dare not say it." ”

Galok walked up to Partridge Spirit, looked carefully at the young man he trusted, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Look at you, I won't kill you, but you are not allowed to mention these words to anyone else." ”

The partridge pounced and knelt down: "The minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty asked the minister to say what the minister said." ”

Galok nodded slightly: "The two of them are too presumptuous, the army of the Rest Empire should have changed a long time ago, so I urgently need a big defeat, and it is not easy to change the blood of the Imperial army." ”

He turned his head to look out the window: "Let them die at the hands of the Ning people, and the left and right guards will also die at the hands of the Ning people, which will not only get rid of the trouble in my heart, but also make the people in the country hate the Ning country, and when I raise troops to attack the Ning country again in the future, I will get the support of the people, and I will also get the support of the rich families and major families." ”

Galok waved his hand: "Go back, remember my words, and don't say anything to anyone else." ”

The partridge bowed violently and withdrew tremblingly.

Not long after he left, Galocillus suddenly beckoned, and two men dressed in black fell from the roof beams and fell to one knee: "Your Majesty." ”

Galaclious commanded, "Kill Partridge." ”

The two men in black immediately bowed, then swept out of the back window, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
