Chapter 52 Zhao Kuo Training

Late at night, Zhao Kuo returned to his room.

"My husband seems to be in a bad mood."

Tian Wan's pair of white arms were gently wrapped around Zhao Kuo, and a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of Zhao Kuo's nose, which made Zhao Kuo's spirit uncontrollably cheered up.

He subconsciously turned his body, hugged her into his arms with his wife's slightly shy scream, and smiled and said, "It's nothing big, I've already figured it out."

Tian Wan's long eyelashes blinked and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Kuo thought about it and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than some political things."

Tian Wan asked softly: "Is it related to the king?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Wan in surprise: "How did you know?"

Tian Wan suddenly showed a playful smile: "My husband is so strong. Apart from the arrogant king, who can make his husband so embarrassed?"

Zhao Kuo was stunned at first, then laughed and picked up Tian Wan.

"Madam, you're wrong.

No one is a problem for your strong husband.”

A night of spring breeze.

Three days have passed, and Zhao Kuo has been with Tian Wanni in these three days, and enjoyed a sweet life of newlyweds.

On the fourth day, Zhao Kuo, who was refreshed, stood on the training ground of the Zhao clan.

Eight hundred and fifteen soldiers and one hundred and seventy light cavalrymen, this is the legacy left by the horse lord Zhao She to Zhao Kuo.

Logically speaking, Zhao Kuo is not Junhou. In fact, he cannot have such a private army soldier like his father Zhao She. However, no one has made any comments on the existence of this private army soldier. On the one hand, this is because of Zhao She's legacy, and on the other hand, it is also closely related to Zhao Kuo's performance in the Battle of Changping.

Under Zhao Kuo's instructions, these soldiers began to practice.

It has to be said that these soldiers are indeed elite, with very well-founded advances and retreats, and their mutual protection is equally excellent. They are worthy of being the troops trained by Zhao She.

Even though Zhao Kuo combines the dual identities of later time travelers and contemporary military tactics, he is quite satisfied with this group of soldiers.

But there is one thing that Zhao Kuo is dissatisfied with.

“There are too few cavalry.”

Zhao Kuo said to Xu Li: "There are less than two hundred cavalrymen?"

How can this work?"

As a time traveler, Zhao Kuo knew the importance of cavalry.

Cavalry, the well-deserved first armed force in the era of cold weapons, the king of soldiers! Zhao Kuo looked at Xu Li, hoping to get an explanation.

Xu Li looked helpless and said softly: "Master, war horses are too expensive.

We really don’t have money in our mansion.”

As we all know, the reason why Zhao State is powerful is due to the "Hu Clothing and Casting" reform carried out by King Zhao Wuling, the grandfather of King Zhao, when he was alive, and then it rose step by step to the present.

Zhao State was also the only country among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period to list cavalry as a separate army.

Therefore, war horses in Zhao State are quite expensive.

A war horse that exceeds the passing line costs tens of thousands of yuan, and a better one of 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of yuan is common.

Zhao Kuo touched his chin and said, "Isn't it just money?"

This will be no problem right away.

Please contact us as soon as possible to see if there is any way to buy a war horse.”

Xu Li asked carefully: "How many war horses do the lord want to sell?"

Zhao Kuo said without hesitation: "Let's get a thousand horses first!"

Xu Li almost sat down on the ground.

With the current power of Zhao State, an army of millions and hundreds of thousands of people, the entire border cavalry army has only 50,000 cavalry.

Zhao Kuo wanted to raise a thousand war horses with the power of his own family alone?

Xu Li's face suddenly turned into bitter gourd: "Master, we really don't have that much money!"

Zhao Kuo said angrily: "Where are the rewards from the kings that Pingyuan Jun just sent?"

Xu Li's face became more and more worried: "If all those rewards were used to buy horses, the mansion would not have a penny left."

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up and he said, "Then let's buy a horse immediately!"

Xu Li wailed: "Master, after buying the horse, our mansion can't hold on anymore.

Now that the autumn harvest has just ended, how can you support the autumn harvest next year if you don’t have money?”

Zhao Kuo said angrily: "I said it, it will be there soon!"

Xu Li just shook his head, feeling that his lord was definitely too optimistic.

Although ginseng is really good, how can it be sold so many?

What's more, Xu Li knew very well that Zhao Kuo's dividend in ginseng was only 10%! Zhao Kuo looked at Xu Li and showed a strange smile.

Young man, you know nothing about luxury goods and men's needs.

Just when Zhao Kuo was planning to make up for his economic knowledge for Xu Li, his right-hand man, suddenly a call came from afar.

"Master, Master!"

Zhao Kuo turned around and happened to see Guo Ye.

This look scared Zhao Kuo: "What's going on with you? You haven't taken a shower for a few days and you've smelled so bad?"

At this moment, Guo Ye had a unkempt face, his eyes were red, and his body was filled with a strong smell of stove smoke and odor, looking like a monkey than a human.

Guo Ye knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Master, Master..." Guo Ye choked for a long time and couldn't speak.

Zhao Kuo was stunned and said carefully: "Is there something wrong with the steelmaking method I taught you?

It shouldn't be."

Since Qi Wuhuaiwen is known as one of the ancient smelting craftsmen and is as famous as Gan Jiang Moye and Ou Yezi, Zhao Kuo had studied Qi Wuhuaiwen in his previous life and had a systematic understanding of Qi Wuhuaiwen's smelting method, so there should be no mistakes.

Guo Ye sobbed for a long time and tears flowed down his eyes.

Just as Zhao Kuo was already thinking about how to find a way for him, Guo Ye finally spoke in tears.

"Old minister, old minister is ignorant, and he actually doubts the forging method passed down by the Lord.

The forging method taught by the Lord is really unheard of by the minister, and it is eye-opening. Only the legendary Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang Moye can compare with each other! The Lord, the old minister... is convinced!"

As he said that, Guo Ye kowtowed several times at Zhao Kuo, his face full of admiration.

"I thank you, Lord for passing on this magical forging method. If you can get this forging method, it will be worth it even if the old minister dies now!"

Zhao Kuo: "..." He spoke well when he spoke. It was really scary when he came up.

Zhao Kuo said: "So, the finished product has been forged?"

Guo Ye nodded repeatedly, the light in his eyes was extremely bright: "Master, it has been forged. Please go and see!"

Zhao Kuo said: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Guo Ye led the way, Zhao Kuo followed, and the half-believing Xu Li was at the end.

Xu Li couldn't help but mutter: "Did this Guo Ye make something wrong with his brain?

When I met two days ago, I complained to me that the Lord’s smelting method was completely nonsense, but now I’m praising it?"

Xu Li started to play under Zhao She when Zhao Kuo was a few years old. It can be said that Zhao Kuo was grown up when Xu Li watched him grow up.

Over the years, Zhao Kuo hasn't even entered the smelting workshop several times. He is obsessed with military tactics every day. What kind of smelting can he understand?

With this deep doubt, Xu Li quickly followed.
