Prime Minister take care

Chapter 349 The Land of Hehuang
Yang Jian and several of his brothers were originally rebellious and relegated rebels, but they were rebels recorded in the archives of the imperial court officials of the Great Zhou Empire.

Yang Ci expelled them from the Yang family. Emperor Qi couldn't bear to kill them all and sentenced them to exile outside the Great Wall.But that is not much different from death, even more terrible than death.

Originally, it was impossible for Yang Jian and others to return to the divine capital due to their crimes, let alone hold official positions in the imperial court again.However, at this time, the emperor had become a puppet, and Huan Wu had the final say in the capital and even the entire Central Plains.The rebellion case happened decades ago, but after all, it was decided by Emperor Qi personally. Huan Wu was a minister of the Zhou Dynasty, so it was impossible to overturn the case openly.

Accumulate merits and deeds to defend against enemies from outside.Change your mind and become a new person.When the country is in many difficulties, good talents will not be wasted.

Huan Wu used this reason to re-activate Yang Jian and others.However, after all, Yang Jian and others had been expelled from the Yang family by Yang Ci. They were famous and unnamed disciples, and their status was even lower than that of slaves. Even Huan Wu could not let them go back.Huan Wu can't be Yang Xian's boss, let alone this one.Moreover, in order to show that they were separated from the past, and to show that they could start a new life, Huan Wu reported to the emperor to give new surnames to these ministers who had made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The emperor replied and granted him a sheep!
In fact, all this has been planned long ago, and the memorial to the emperor is just a formality.

As a result, Yang Jian and thousands of other tribesmen regained their surnames and changed their surname to Yang.And Yangjian also officially served as Shangshu Ling of Dazhou.

In order to show his closeness to the new Shangshu Ling of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Huan Wu added the legitimate daughter of the Huan family to the Yang family, regardless of everyone's criticism.

For a time, in the divine capital, apart from the Huan family, the three families that were married to the Huan family, Su, Chang, and Yang, were very popular and suddenly became prominent families.

Although Su Zhe died, Huanwu's kindness to the Su family was not reduced by half, and it was even more generous than before.Chang Yu no longer has the position of Grand Tutor, but the status of the old minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty is there after all, and no one dares to underestimate it.And Yang Jian, the new minister, has also become a hot figure in Shendu.

Unlike Su Zhe, who was the link between the emperor and the Marquis of Liang, Yang Jianke didn't have the slightest fondness for the Xia family.Every time Huan Wu discussed matters, he would summon this confidant to his side, and his trust could not be increased.

Of course, Huan Wu's investment of such a large amount would not be without purpose.He knew that Yangjian and the Yang family were very important to Daliang.

In the Lianghou Mansion, Huan Wu summoned several close ministers and Yang Jian to discuss the state affairs.

"Since our army has decided to recuperate, do you have any suggestions?"

Liang Jun switched from strategic offense to strategic defense, and naturally the policies at the top and bottom were different from before.Huanwu controlled the seven states of the Central Plains. If he concentrated on developing the economy, he would be unmatched by any other vassal state.

The economic construction of each state has been well arranged some time ago, and the rest is Liang Jun's deployment.

No longer takes capturing the world as the first task, but instead defends against the invasion of various vassal states, but this does not mean that the Liang army does not need to strengthen its combat power.

In fact, on the southern border of the Liang Kingdom, the only major danger was the Shu Kingdom.The rest, no matter Wu Chu, have no power to challenge Liang Guo for the time being.Moreover, Wu and Chu have always relied on their naval forces and lacked elite infantry.The fact that [-] Chu troops were encircled and killed and Hou Shen died in Xuzhou made Wu Chu even worse, leaving Wu Chu with only the power to protect himself.

However, with the current land warfare capabilities of the Liang Army, it is unable to gain an advantage over the Shu Army.If you want to change, there is only one way, and that is to get an elite cavalry.

"I have something to say. Our infantry has great fighting strength, but it lacks elite cavalry. It can still deal with Wu and Chu and other foreign tribes from all over the world. However, it is far from enough to face the Shu army. Zhou Nan's defeat is an example. Therefore, the first task of our army is to obtain a fine cavalry first." Yangjian handed over his hand and said without any hesitation when talking about Zhou Nan's defeat.Although he was not a subject of Huan Wu, he claimed to be a subject.

In fact, after he changed his surname to sheep, the old Yang Jian no longer existed.Time will change in the future, and the Huan family will not be able to use the so-called hatred of nine generations to cause trouble for them.Because according to the legal system, the Yang family has no relationship with the Yang family.If the Huan family finds trouble again, not only will they not gain support, they will also be criticized by all the aristocratic families.

Several of Huan Wu's cronies present nodded. They studied Zhou Nan's defeat afterwards.The most important lesson is that Liang Jun lacked elite cavalry, which led to the defeat.

Zhao Ye looked at Yangjian thoughtfully.

"Six years ago, our army attacked Youzhou. We originally wanted to use this battle to swallow up Jingyun's Youning cavalry. However, Jingyun was provoked by Yang Xian. In the end, he would rather hide in the bitter cold land of western Liaoning than surrender to us. Army. In the past six years, we have also wanted to re-establish a cavalry, but all our attempts have failed in the end. Is there any way for Shangshu Ling to do it? "

There are only two elite cavalry in the Great Zhou Dynasty. One is the Youning cavalry under Yan Guo Jingyun, and the other is the Xiliang cavalry from Liangzhou.Liang Jun's previous cavalry armies modeled on these two armies eventually became nondescript.

Zhao Ye originally thought that Yangjian wanted to start from these two directions and offer some clever strategies, but who knew that Yangjian actually said: "I have been outside the Great Wall for many years, fighting with barbarians, and I know the tactics of prairie wolf cavalry. I have been thinking about it for many years, and integrated the army. I have gained the essence of the cultivation method of the first lineage, and I am willing to train an elite cavalry for my lord."

All the counselors were very surprised, but when they looked at Huan Wu, his face did not change at all, and it was obvious that he already knew.It seems that speaking out now is just publicizing the decision.

All the counselors felt a sense of clarity when they thought of this.

"Tell me briefly."

"There are three top-grade war horses in the world. One is the big Xiliang horse, the second is the grassland war horse, and the third is the Dragon City bone horse. Among them, there are many strains of grassland war horses, including those from Youyan Land, Hehuang Land and Bei Desert. The produce of the land is the best. After the death of the late emperor, the world was in chaos, and the barbarian monsters and aliens crossed the river again to seize the land of Hehuang. If our army wants to build a fine cavalry, the first step is to expel the aliens from Hehuang and establish a breeding and breeding system for war horses. Pasture to prepare for the training of cavalry later.”

In the past, Liang Jun attacked the world and wanted to build a large-scale cavalry army. Firstly, he lacked talents, and secondly, materials and armaments were very tight.But now it's different. Liang Jun is fully capable of doing the first step mentioned by Yangjian.

"Where did the war horse come from?"

Zhao Ye asked, "You can't let Liang Jun's soldiers wander around the world in Hehuang to try their luck!"After all, good stallions are rare. Even if Liang Jun sends out a large-scale capture team, he may not be able to obtain a sufficient number of horses in a short period of time.

"We can make good friends with Jingyun and Zhu Zi, trade with each other, make huge profits, obtain horse breeds, seize the land of Hehuang at the same time, and then find war horses, a two-pronged approach."

Yangjian said something, and the expressions of several Huanwu's advisers changed.
