After Lian Po finished speaking, Tian Dan's face turned as usual, but instead the empress dowager's heart became more and more surprised.

Lian Po's personality is known to the Queen Mother, and this general will not lie on such serious occasions.

However, how could Li Jian, a young man who had never been to a border county in his entire life and had only been in office for a few months, establish prestige among the border cavalry of Zhao State?

Just because of a spring hunt?

Lian Po took out a memorial, his old face was proud.

"This is a memorial from the Guard of Wuyuan County, I will recite it to everyone."

As Lian Po recited the ups and downs, the content of the memorial was gradually revealed.

At the beginning of the memorial, Wei Ming directly reported the victory and informed the soldiers of Wuyuan County that they had killed more than three thousand Huns in the past month.

Hearing this, the ministers of Zhao State present were surprised.

Pingyuan Jun couldn't help but say:

"If I remember correctly, killing three thousand Huns in more than a month, it would be a rare good news to kill three thousand Huns in one month in previous years."

Whether it is the Huns or the Donghu, they will never get close to the border of Zhao State for a hundred miles.

Pingyang Jun guessed:

"Is it because the Huns attacked a large scale and were repelled by Wuyuan County?"

Pingyuan Jun said decisively:

"It is impossible. According to the military regulations of the Great Zhao, any more than a thousand Hu people invaded must be reported to Handan for 500 miles in a hurry. When have we heard of the Huns invading these two months?"

Lian Po laughed:

"The two lords don't have to guess, let me tell you directly. It was the soldiers of Wuyuan County who took the initiative to attack, which led to the annihilation of so many Huns."

Pingyuan Jun laughed and said:

"General, you are untrue. Hasn't Gaoqueshe in Wuyuan County always had the tradition of taking the initiative to attack the Huns? Why haven't they ever reported such excellent news before?"

Lian Po smiled and said:

"Then please listen carefully by Mr. Pingyuan."

Lian Po continued to recite, and the truth was revealed.

It turns out that the reason why many soldiers of Wuyuan County can achieve such excellent results is related to two things.

"...After the self-army equipped the saddle and stirrup, the endurance of the knights and horses was greatly improved."

"Originally, the road was at most 80 miles a day, and all the people were exhausted. They had to rest for one night before they could continue on their way."

"After obtaining these two divine objects, our army can travel 150 miles a day, but the Huns are unprepared for this and still treat our army with the same appearance as before."

"Our army was able to raid many camps in the Huns like a divine weapon descending from the sky, killing 3,154 adult men who were above the wheels of the Huns, and capturing more than 5,000 women and children of the Huns."

Hearing this, everyone was moved again.

Even Tian Dan couldn't help but say:

"The record of these three thousand people is actually beheading?"

The calculation methods of military achievements in different countries are different. For example, Qin only uses the enemy's head to calculate military achievements, while Zhao even counts the beheading and captives.

So according to Zhao's algorithm, this time the record is actually to defeat 8,000 enemies!

Lian Po laughed:

"Yes, this is the magical place of the saddle stirrup object. With these two things, our army went from 80 miles a day to 150 miles a day, and the distance of the marching has nearly doubled!"

"If the war started in the old days, our army would send troops from Wuyuan County to increase the number of troops in Handan for at least twenty days. Now, eleven days will arrive!"

"If the Huns were attacked in the north, the war would start for at least three months until the end of the year, but now it will be full of success in more than a month!"

"You are all knowledgeable people, and you should know what this means to us, Da Zhao."

When the king and minister of Zhao heard this, they all showed admiration on their faces.

King Zhao spoke with a gleeful look on his face:

"It's great. If Great Zhao sends troops to the Central Plains in the future, the reaction time of other vassal states will also be greatly shortened, and Great Zhao's chances of victory will naturally be greatly enhanced!"

Pingyuan Jun also said:

"Yan State has always liked to involve our Da Zhao's energy behind our backs. Da Zhao's attack on Yan was worried about Qin's interference. In this case, we can use cavalry to attack Yan and resist Qin with infantry."

Ping Yangjun knocked on the table excitedly:

"Even if fighting on both sides, Da Zhao has a great chance of winning. He can completely attack and even destroy Yan State!"

The Queen Mother couldn't bear it anymore and coughed heavily:

"The Queen of Yan State is Princess Zhao. Be careful when you speak!"

Everyone came to their senses and laughed awkwardly.

When I was excited just now, I forgot that Empress Yan was the Empress Dowager's biological daughter, and that King Yan was the Empress Dowager's son-in-law...

The Empress Dowager calmed down and said to Lian Po:

"The good news from Wuyuan County is indeed quite inspiring, but what does this have to do with Li Jian..."

The Queen Mother's words suddenly stopped. She seemed to think of something, and her expression suddenly became extremely strange.

The other important officials of Zhao State were thinking about this, and in just a moment, their expressions changed color.

Lin Xiangru couldn't help but say:

"Is this inventor of the saddle and stirrup...?"

Lian Po laughed:

"That's right, the guard of Wuyuan County and County was clearly stated in the memorial that the saddle and stirrup were given to the drawings of Li Mu, a hundred generals of Gaoquesai during the spring hunt."

"After Li Mu returned to Gaoquesai, he asked the craftsmen to build according to the drawings. He then discovered that the effect was amazing and presented the drawings to Zhou Ping, the guardian of Gaoquesai."

"After Zhou Ping's verification, he ordered Gaoquesai craftsmen to do their best to build these two things, armed all the thousands of cavalry in Gaoquesai, and then he had the feat of raiding the Huns and beheading and capturing eight thousand prisoners!"

"Everyone has seen it clearly. Wei Ming has personally stated that the soldiers will naturally make contributions to fighting bravely, but the saddle stirrup invented by Li Jian is the number one hero who can achieve great victory this time!"

In the hall, there was a silence.

Tian Dan's face was filled with a deep sense of shock, and said:

"Li Jian has never been to the frontier, nor has he really been to the battlefield. How could he create such a magical thing?"

Lian Po stared at Tian Dan and said:

"Du Pingjun doesn't know that there is a kind of person in this world called a genius? Does Li Jian's military genius still need me to repeat it here?"

"The saddle stirrup is originally something that eliminates knight fatigue and improves the mount life. Li Jianhui will naturally think of improving this aspect, so why should he go to a battlefield!"

Lian Po looked at Tian Dan, who was speechless in front of him, and Zhao Guojun who was listening quietly, and felt very happy.

Lian Po has never been good at verbal disputes. In the court discussion, only Lao Lian was criticized by others and had nothing to say. How could he suppress the whole audience today and be full of energy!

Thanks to all this to that boy Li Jian.

By the way, I almost forgot the main thing!

Lian Po no longer paid attention to Tian Dan, but turned to look at Empress Dowager Zhao, and spoke with a loud voice.

"The Empress Dowager, there are examples from Wuyuan County. If the Great Zhao North leaves the grassland this fall, a quick victory will be within reach."

"No matter whether Li Jian can go to the battlefield or not, he will take the lead in his first contribution this time."

"The old minister knew that Li Jian had contradicted the Empress Dowager a few days ago because of some things, which made the Empress Dowager not happy."

"But today's old minister wants to say that talented people are often arrogant. Since Li Jian made such a great contribution to the Great Zhao, why should the Empress Dowager continue to care about him?"
