After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 161 Urgent Urgency

The stables of the Southwest Camp were located on the west side of the main camp. There were several simple sheds surrounded by hay to keep out the wind and snow.

All the horses were tied to the railings, and rows of strong and healthy horses were eating grass and drinking water.

Jin Shaoyi, "These are the horses from the Western Jin Dynasty."

There were a few petite horses at the edge. "We rode those horses from Yanjing. These were the only ones that were not called away yesterday."

There are five sheds in total, with more than 3,000 horses in total, all of which were horses brought in from the Western Jin Dynasty.

The advantages of Western Jin Dynasty horses are that they are more agile and flexible, and their advantages in cavalry warfare are even greater.

The Daqi horse is small in size and has good endurance, making it more suitable for long-term battlefields.

In such an open and flat terrain, the horses of the Western Jin Dynasty naturally had more advantages.

But the horses of the Western Jin Dynasty would run away at the sound of a whistle, and this was the most serious problem.

If it was a large battlefield, or when the Western Jin Dynasty was at a disadvantage, a whistle could turn the situation around and cause heavy casualties to Da Qi.

If it weren’t for the mistake made by the Western Jin soldiers, they would never have discovered such a secret trick!

Pei Lan touched the sleek fur of the nearest horse and said, "The most urgent thing is to solve the problem of the horse."

Yin Gang's face was not good either. "Where can we send so many horses to the front line now?"

Jin Shaoyi, "My uncle has two horse farms. I'm going to write a letter now."

Pei Lan shook his head. "It's too late. The horses sent to the military camp must first be screened by the imperial court's horse policy, and then inspected by the horse farm..."

Jin Shaoyi couldn't help cursing at this time, "Ma Zheng and his gang are just taking bribes! This horse was given to me by my uncle. It's such a good horse, but they insisted on spending that money to give it to the Western Jin Dynasty!"

Pei Lan stopped talking. The corruption in the imperial court had been going on for a long time.

Ji Yunzhang looked at the horses in the stable and said, "It's too late to buy one now. Even if we can buy one, running-in will be a problem."

He glanced at the horses in the stable and said, "There is only one way. Drug them and make them all deaf. The horses can't hear the whistle and have to rely on me to control them."

Jin Shaoyi sighed and touched the horse closest to him with pity.

"It's the only way to solve the problem. It's such a pity to have such a good horse."

Yin Gang pursed his lips, and after a moment he whispered, “Nearly half of Ma Zheng are Chen Xiang’s men.”

Hearing this, Ji Yunzhang turned his head to look at him, "Then do you know who Chen Xiang works for?"

Yin Gang looked at Ji Yunzhang, "As a subject of the monarch, I am naturally a subject of your majesty."

Ji Yunzhang raised the corners of his lips and chuckled, "Princess Sheng is not a daughter of the Shao family, but the illegitimate daughter of Prime Minister Chen."

Jin Shaoyi’s eyes widened. What kind of Beijing secret is this?
Pei Lan also swallowed his saliva, so Chen Xiang made a good deal, exchanging an illegitimate daughter for King Sheng. If King Sheng won in the future, he would have made the right bet. If he didn't win, he would only lose an illegitimate daughter.

Ji Yunzhang waved his hand and said, "Let the military doctor prepare the medicine. Starting tomorrow, all cavalrymen will begin horsemanship training."

On the west side of the southwest camp, next to the stable, is a large open space.

The snow on the open ground had been trampled so tightly by the soldiers trained by Daqi that anyone standing on it would slip.

-

In the Western Jin camp, the soldier who blew the wrong whistle had been beaten to death.

War horses were the first move made by the Western Jin Dynasty in Daqi.

All the war horses transported to Daqi were trained horses. No matter where they were, they would come back as long as they heard the unique eagle bone flute whistle of the Western Jin Dynasty.

The spy soldier came in and said, "General, Daqi didn't kill the horses. He has been training horsemanship these days."

Tugrimu laughed and clapped his hands. "That's all. Do you think the horse will be obedient after a few days of training?" Mu Chun frowned and was not optimistic. "The warhorse followed the enemy and ran away. It's impossible that it is not alert."

Tugrimu raised his lips, "The Khan said that you are the smartest Daqi person. The smartest ones are already here. How smart can the rest be?"

Mu Chun asked the soldier again, "Are you sure you saw it right?"

The soldier who was gathering intelligence nodded, "I am absolutely not wrong."

Tugrimu stood up and said, "Master Mu, if this happened to you, what would you do?"

Muchun looked up at him and said, "Of course, all the horses should be killed."

An old horse knows the way. A horse not only recognizes the road, but also recognizes its owner.

The horses used on the battlefield were generally raised by the imperial court itself.

However, the imperial court of Daqi had been running at a loss for many years due to its horse management business and was unable to raise good horses, so it turned the management of the horse farms to the private sector.

But Ma Zheng’s group has not changed. They continue to take bribes and become even more corrupt and extravagant.

This gave the Western Jin Dynasty a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They were able to collect money and send trained horses to Daqi, which would eventually be deployed to the battlefield.

As long as the battlefield is filled with Western Jin's horses, the Western Jin can achieve victory as quickly as possible at the critical moment!
But now that the problem with horses has obviously been discovered, why are we still using horses from the Western Jin Dynasty?

Did they really not notice?

Tugrimu patted Muchun's shoulder and said, "Master Mu, there is a word in Daqi, cautious and prudent, but I think another word is more appropriate."

"Chicken-hearted."

He pursed his lips and said, "Now Lord Mu should consider taking Xiasha."

"The last time we attacked Xiasha, apart from the ambush we encountered, we lost at least 500 to 600 people at the Xiasha city gate!"

"Sir, you still need to make a detailed plan."

"So many casualties?" Mu Chun raised his head from the sand table.

Tugrimu walked to the sand table and said, "The gates of Xiasha are made of different materials, and the walls are flat and difficult to climb."

"besides."

"Ben doesn't want the ambush we encountered last time to happen again."

Mu Chun didn't look at him, but slowly put his hands behind his back, "Master Tu is young and hasn't experienced many battlefields."

"The situation on the battlefield changes so quickly that even if Sun Bin were alive, there would be no guarantee that we would not be ambushed or win the battle."

Tugrimu was somewhat dissatisfied, "If that's the case, then what's the use of you?"

He snorted twice in pride, "I could have taken down Yan Hui even without you."

Mu Chun, "Since the general is so brave, please let the general fight on his own at Xiasha."

These words seemed to have touched Tugrimu's sore spot, and his face changed.

"Muchun, you are from Daqi. I don't trust you as much as the Khan does. If you were not a guest personally appointed by the Khan, you would not be able to leave this camp today."

Mu Chun remained calm and said, "Master Tu, whether I am from Daqi or not, it does not change the fact that without me, the Western Jin Dynasty would not have come this far."

Tugeri smiled with a fake smile, "Really? The Western Jin Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and Daqi is also on the decline. Lord Mu, do you still think you are a piece of cake?"

Mu Chun was not annoyed, he just sat on the stool next to him and said, "Mu, I am waiting for the good news from Master Tu!"
