After defeating a strong enemy, the Lord will return to the capital and be rewarded by the king, which is a very normal thing among the nations. Three years ago, after Li Mu won the Battle of Fei, he was treated ceremoniously by Zhao Wangqian in Handan, and was crowned as Wu'an Jun by Zhao Wangqian, and received 3,000 households.

Therefore, after listening to Shi Zhen's recitation of the edict, Li Mu said: "Since the king has an edict, Li Mu, as a subordinate, should rush back to Handan to meet the king. However, now that the Qin army has retreated, and our army has recovered several cities, Li Mu still has to make some arrangements for the garrison on the border before he can leave with confidence, so it will take three or five days, I don't know if the doctor is waiting in the barracks, return to Handan with Li Mu, or return to his life first. ”

Shi Chong said with a smile: "The matter of the front line is naturally handled by the monarch himself, and it is reasonable to delay some time, but the lower officials are afraid that the king will be anxious, so he will return to Handan first. When the king returns to Handan, the lower officials must greet the king in Handan and wash the dust for the king. ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "The doctor is too polite, but the doctor came from afar, and he was tired of carriages and horses all the way, so he should rest in the camp for a day first, and then return to Handan tomorrow, but the conditions in the camp are poor, and the doctor has been wronged overnight." ”

Shi Chong hurriedly said: "The king said that, since the king and the soldiers can live in the camp, what can the lower officials be picky about?" Then he leaned closer and said, "I heard that not long ago, a star descended into the world, when the flint fell from the sky, Siye was shocked, I don't know if it's true or not?" Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "This point I have truthfully played the king, naturally true, when the flint fell from the sky, the sound was like thunder, the cracking flames soared to the sky for more than ten zhang, the pit was dozens of zhang, and the surrounding trees were evenly torn down and burned. ”

Shi Chongdao: "There is such a strange person, I don't know where he is now, can I ask the lower officials to see him." ”

Li Mu said: "Whether it is the star descended into the world, it is unknown below, the person who descended from the sky with the flint, called the plateau, now it is true that in our army, but it is only a mortal vulgar body, but he is a general, this time he broke the Qin army, made the first contribution, but the doctor came unfortunately, he is now in the camp to deal with military affairs, not here, but at that time, the flint fell from the sky, the big pit left is still there, if the doctor is not tired, Li Mu is willing to lead the doctor to the scene to see. ”

Shi Chong heard that Gao Yuan was not in the barracks, and he was also slightly disappointed, he came to Li Mu's camp this time, and there was an important purpose, that is, to meet this so-called general star descending into the world. Because after Li Mu played the matter of the plateau to Handan, Zhao Wangqian immediately asked Taibu to divinate and calculate the bad luck, and the result of Taibu's calculation was: the star will descend into the world, and the north will benefit. Zhao is the country of the north, so Zhao Wangqian is also very happy, and all the courtiers also congratulate Zhao Wangqian, Zhao has a star to descend into the world, and there will be prosperity.

And then Li Mu broke the Qin army and killed the main general of the Qin army, Huan Qi, so it showed a good omen of the star coming to the world, so Zhao Wangqian sent Shi Chong to pass on the edict to Li Mu, but also to let Shi Chong see this general with his own eyes. It's just that Shi Chong came unfortunately, and the plateau was not in Zhao Jun's Fanwu camp at this time. But when he heard Li Mu say that he could take himself to see the big pit smashed out at that time, Shi Chong also immediately came to his senses and said busily: "The lower officials are not tired, please take the lower officials to take a look immediately." ”

―――――――― the dividing line ――――――――― dividing line―――――――― Li Muzhi did not deceive Shi Chong, and now the plateau is indeed not in the Fanwu camp of the Zhao army. but in the camp of the wells. Just when Li Mu received Shi Chong, Gao Yuan was also sitting in his tent in the Jingjing camp, writing with a pen.

Although the defeat of the Qin army this time was a great gain, Li Mu also knew very well that with the strong national strength of the Qin State, this defeat was nothing, as long as the Qin State was willing, he could raise a large army to attack the Zhao State again within three or five months, so it was necessary to take precautions as soon as possible.

However, after seizing Jingjing, the situation of Zhao is much better than before the first battle of Fanwu, not only the defense line has also moved forward as a whole, and the room for maneuver is much greater, and Jingjing and Fanwu can also echo each other and horn each other, so Li Mu also decided to move the command center of the Zhao army to Jingjing Dazhai. The next battle against the Qin army will be based on Jingjing Dazhai as the main base. Gao Yuan, Li Yinghong and others have moved to Jingjing Dazhai in advance.

In this battle, the 1,000 new cavalry formed by the plateau played a great role, and in the last battle to pursue Huanqi, it showed far more combat effectiveness than the chariots. Therefore, Li Mu also decided to expand the new cavalry army to 2,000 people. The selection of new cavalry, training, and assembly were all left to Gao Yuan.

Moreover, in this battle, the 1,000 new cavalry troops lost a total of 133 people, another 62 were wounded, and they were temporarily incapacitated, and the total loss was close to 20%. Moreover, due to the backward medical level of this era, the cure rate of the wounded was not high, so it was difficult for all of the wounded to return to the team, so the actual number of the new cavalry army was more than 1,000 this time.

In addition, because of the great achievements of the new cavalry in this battle, it was also rewarded by Li Mu after the war, and the plateau also scattered all Li Mu's heavy rewards to the soldiers, and the dead and wounded soldiers were heavily compensated, so it also had a great attraction to other soldiers, and many soldiers who were good friends with the plateau, such as Wang Hu and Wang Leopard brothers in the former military camp, also came to the plateau and asked to join the new cavalry.

Gao Yuan simply formulated some conditions, and the soldiers who asked to join the new cavalry were evaluated, and only those who met the standards were selected, so that it was fair and reasonable, and no one could say anything. Therefore, during this period of time, some soldiers who wanted to join the new cavalry army also practiced according to the conditions set by the plateau, striving to be able to pass the guò assessment and be selected.

At the same time, Gao Yuan, together with Li Yinghong, Du Yi, Ji Hua and other cavalry generals, conscientiously summed up the gains and losses of the cavalry in this battle, learned from experience, and formulated more reasonable cavalry training methods and tactics.

Although Gao Yuan knew the historical trend of the development of the war, and also had a lot of theoretical knowledge of cavalry tactics, after all, he lacked practical experience, so this battle was actually a very rare experience for Gao Yuan. And I plan to write about these methods that I have summarized.

But after writing a few words, Gao Yuan realized that he was not used to the writing tools of this era at all.

To be honest, in the past, when Gao Yuan wrote essays and reports, they were basically done on the computer, and even the pen was not used much, and the brush writing was limited to a few days when he was in elementary school, and at that time it was all written in large characters, let alone writing small characters, and in this era, there was no concept of paper at all, except for a few powerful people who could use silk, silk, and fur to count things, the vast majority of text books were written on bamboo or wooden tablets. And even the powerful can't write all with silk, silk, and fur. Therefore, it was also written so that the head of the plateau was as big as a fight, and it took a lot of effort to write a few rows, but the words written were all crooked, and there was no one at all.

Gao Yuan had no choice but to smile bitterly, put the brush down, and thought about whether he should make paper, and he still remembered a little bit of the principle of papermaking. At this moment, I saw the tent being picked, and Li Yinghong had already strode in.

Although Li Yinghong is a girl, because she has been living in the barracks for a long time with Li Mu all the year round, she is not restrained by some life details, and she is already very familiar with the battle side by side with the plateau, so she is also very casual, and without asking, she directly broke into the tent of the plateau, and said: "Gao Yuan, my father has an order, let us go back to the Fanwu camp, and then return to Handan with him, and bring the cavalry we formed back to Handan." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "How many new recruits are we now?" ”

Li Yinghong sat on the opposite side of the plateau and said: "Now there are more than 1,600 people, and there are more than 4,000 war horses. The rest of the people can return to Handan and choose later. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Okay, the number of people is about the same, inform them, we will leave tomorrow." ”

At this time, Li Yinghong found that there were pen, ink and bamboo slips on several cases, and couldn't help but say, "What are you writing?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "I want to write down the training tactics of the cavalry during this period, and I should train the cavalry in this way in the future." ”

When Li Yinghong heard this, he was also very interested, and said, "Can you still write a book?" Let me see what exactly you're writing. As he spoke, he grabbed the bamboo slip in front of the plateau and looked at it. But as soon as he saw it for the first time, Li Yinghong frowned and said, "Why are you writing horizontally." ”

Gao Yuan also smiled bitterly, ancient Chinese characters have always been vertical, and it is also a row from right to left, but Gao Yuan is used to arrange the format from left to right horizontally, so the bamboo slips are also written horizontally. I had to say: "This is how we are used to writing horizontally." ”

usually chats and talks with everyone, and when talking about his origins, Gao Yuan can only half-truth, and selectively talks about the situation in another time and space, which also makes Li Yinghong feel fresh and curious. However, this also has an advantage, that is, as soon as there are any habits that are different from this time and space, the plateau will push us to do so, and prevaricate.

Although there is no unified script in China now, and the Chinese characters used in various countries are also different, they are basically the same, and ordinary readers can also understand the characters of various countries, while the plateau uses modern simplified Chinese characters, which are also evolved from the small seal characters of the Qin State, so Li Yinghong can still generally understand. But after looking at it for a while, Li Yinghong said again: "Your habits there are really strange, and your writing is so ugly, why are there still these crooked things." ”

Gao Yuan said: "This is called punctuation, which is used to help break sentences when reading." ”

Li Yinghong smiled: "Is this also your habit there?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "Yes." ”
