In addition, the grasslands did not want to attack cities and strongholds like the Central Plains. Once the grassland army was defeated, it could immediately retreat. However, even if the Central Plains army won, it would not gain any benefits except killing the enemy, and it could not even get supplies.
The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, with no cover. Once the enemy attacks, there is no choice but to fight hard instead of retreating.
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Central Plains army, which had already adapted to attacking cities and capturing strongholds.
It is because of understanding these.
Only then would Marquis Shenwu choose to let the two brothers Lin Cheng and Lin Ben lead the cavalry out of the pass.
"My Lord, the horses used by the two generals leading the cavalry were sent by the Prince of Yan early this morning. My Lord, if you use them now, what if this gets out to the public and the censors know about it..."
Looking at the army marching at full speed below, a general came out and said with some worry on his face.
He didn't say it before in the Marshal's Mansion because he was afraid that it would affect the morale of the troops.
Now that the army has set off, I have something to say.
certainly.
The general was not afraid of the censors submitting memorials to the emperor, but he was worried that if the matter reached the emperor's ears, it would arouse his suspicion.
The Marquis of Shenwu, the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition who controls the entire northern military force, suddenly has connections with the vassal kings, which has a different meaning.
Especially the current King of Yan is constantly expanding his power and recruiting soldiers.
Your Majesty, it is impossible that you would not think too much about it.
"Do you think I want to use it?"
Marquis Shenwu turned his head, glanced at the other man, and said, "Who says the war horses of Yan are better than those of the grasslands? Although our soldiers haven't yet adapted to the horses, they are battle-hardened and will have no problems."
"Moreover, the war horses selected by the King of Yan are all of relatively gentle temperament. With good war horses, our chances of victory on the grassland will be greater."
"Also, even if the Lin brothers' strategy is unsuccessful, they can still fight the grassland people with their war horses."
"Even if it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion, we still have to do this to protect Zhenbei Pass."
His tone was firm, leaving no room for maneuver.
Even though I knew there was a high chance that this would be discovered.
It will be brought up by the censors.
But Marquis Shenwu felt that he had nothing to blame and had no connection with the King of Yan, so he was naturally not afraid.
Of course, he also believed that even if His Majesty knew about this, he might not say anything, but might even support it.
Because during this period, Zhao Yanye often received letters from his daughter, praising how wise the current emperor was and how much he doted on her, although he felt that his daughter was a little emotional and could not see the emperor clearly.
But no matter what, Marquis Shenwu still feels that the current emperor is definitely a wise ruler!
