"That's really too much!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Before Chu Yuening entered Zhangtai Palace, she heard angry voices in the hall.

"A Zheng, why are you so angry?"

She quickened her pace and walked into the inner hall, only to see Ying Zheng sitting opposite an old man.

The old man turned around when he heard the voice, and seeing that it was Chu Yuening, he quickly bowed.

"Meet the Queen."

"No need to be so polite, General Wang. You are the God of War of our Great Qin, the arm of His Majesty. I have long admired you."

Although the old man in front of him had white hair and beard, he was still tall and strong, and had an extraordinary heroic demeanor.

Chu Yuening had great respect for Wang Jian, the famous general who helped Qin Shihuang conquer the six kingdoms and made great contributions.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Wang Jian said this neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Yuening, come and sit down first."

Ying Zheng felt a little distressed when he saw Chu Yuening's slightly tired face.

He quickly interrupted the two people's greetings, stood up and helped the woman sit on the cushioned chair.

Seeing this tender scene, Wang Jian's eyes almost popped out and he could no longer maintain his composure.

What about his cold and majestic Emperor Qin Shi Huang?

Who is this gentle and considerate man?

Wang Jian was silent.

Your Majesty, that's not how you treated an old man like me just now.

It was a wrong payment after all...

"Your Majesty, what were you and General Wang discussing just now?"

Chu Yuening brought up the previous topic curiously.

Who in the world dares to bully her A Zheng?

"The Xiongnu have repeatedly attacked the border, trying to plunder the grain."

There was surprise and anger in Ying Zheng's tone.

These Huns in the north are really annoying. They harass us from time to time every year.

Sooner or later, their tribes will be crushed to pieces.

"So there were no casualties?"

Chu Yuening asked nervously.

Fortunately, A Zheng had foresight and built the Great Wall, otherwise the Huns would have been even more unscrupulous.

"With General Meng Tian leading an army of 300,000 soldiers stationed there, we will naturally be safe."

"I just don't know why they still come to invade us now that autumn has passed."

Wang Jian looked a little melancholy and confused.

Didn’t the Huns always return to their tribes to raise livestock at this time of year in previous years?

"Perhaps he knew that the Qin Dynasty's taxes had been reduced and the people had ample food."

Ying Zheng was well aware of the Huns' greed, so he spared no expense in building the Great Wall, including manpower, material resources and financial resources.

"Can't the Huns be completely annihilated?"

Chu Yuening knew that the two sides were mortal enemies.

In the past, the Huns plundered the borders of the Qin Dynasty every year, burning, killing, looting, raping and pillaging, committing all kinds of evil.

If the Huns could be eliminated, the people living on the border would no longer have to live in fear every year.

"How easy is that! The Xiongnu have excellent horses, first-rate archery, and are very mobile. We can only passively defend."

"Besides, the grasslands are vast and the Xiongnu tribes are scattered, making it extremely difficult to completely annihilate them!"

Wang Jian’s detailed explanation made Chu Yuening suddenly realize.

Most of the soldiers in Daqin's army now are infantry.

Although there were cavalry, without the aid of horse harnesses, it took a long time of practice to be able to ride and fight freely on horseback.

Moreover, in history, there was only one general who was able to conquer the Wolf's Lair single-handedly, and that was Huo Qubing.

"Your Majesty, General Wang, I have something that may help defend the border against the Xiongnu."

Chu Yuening thought of horseshoes and saddles.

Now the Qin Dynasty's war horses have no protective measures and are naturally difficult to control.

"Empress, what is it?"

Without waiting for Ying Zheng to answer, Wang Jian couldn't wait to ask.

It was unexpected that the queen, who had made achievements in the agricultural field, also made achievements in the military field.

Without rushing to answer the question, Chu Yuening first drew the pattern structure of horseshoes and saddle on paper.

"Your Majesty, General Wang, please look."

"This is called a horseshoe. It protects the horses' feet, reduces wear and tear, and makes it easier to run."

"The other thing is called a saddle, which increases stability when riding a horse, and the stirrup makes it easier to mount and exert force."

"With these two pieces of horse gear, the mounted combat capabilities of our Qin cavalry will be greatly enhanced, and will be no less powerful than those of the Xiongnu."

After explaining the functions of horseshoes and saddles in one breath, Chu Yuening felt a little thirsty, so she picked up Ying Zheng's teacup and started drinking.

Well, not bad.

It seems that the palace maids' tea-making skills have improved.

I don’t know if there is milk in the palace, you can try making milk tea.

"This thing is amazing!"

Wang Jian stared at the drawings on the table and marveled at them.

As a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years, he understands very well the impact of these two items on the battlefield situation.

After listening to Chu Yuening's explanation, Ying Zheng, who was standing by, had a relaxed expression, a smile in his eyes, and a look of pride on his face.

His little wife is just that amazing.

"I will immediately order the workshop to speed up the production of horse harnesses."

"The Empress is truly knowledgeable and talented! With the aid of horse harnesses, how dare the Xiongnu attack again?"

Wang Jian stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"As the mother of the Great Qin, I shall do my part."

The straightforward praise made Chu Yuening's cheeks slightly red.

"Yuening's talent is unmatched."

Ying Zheng's phoenix eyes gazed tenderly at the delicate appearance of the woman beside him.

Feeling redundant, Wang Jian stood up to take his leave, but did not forget to remind others that he must try the horse harness when it was made.

A few days later, at the palace horse ranch.

Ying Zheng and Chu Yuening stood on the grass, watching the craftsmen install horseshoes and saddles on several horses.

"A Zheng, is that black horse your mount?"

Chu Yue asked as she stared at the black horse that still stood out among the many other horses.
