"Quick!"
"Split!"
"Close!"
"Shoot!"
Under Liu Sheng's command, the three thousand white horses either sprinted or attacked together, opening the eyes of the soldiers on the city wall.
Especially that last wave of arrow rain, it made people shiver with cold hands and feet.
They didn't dare to imagine what would happen if they were under that terrifying arrow rain.
Wei Shang himself was an expert in cavalry combat, so how could he not understand how terrifying this army was?
Even the Xiongnu could not use such a tactic.
This was because it had extremely high requirements for the soldiers 'riding skills and discipline.
The Xiongnu's horsemanship was good enough, but when it came to discipline, they were far from it.
Wei Shang racked his brains, but he still couldn't figure out how such a cavalry was trained.
In the end, it could only be attributed to the heavens blessing the Great Han.
Seeing Liu Sheng return, he quickly went up to him and said,
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for obtaining another powerful army. With this light cavalry guarding Yunzhong, it is enough to make any small group of grassland cavalry that invades never return.”
"Defense is not my ambition. One day, I will lead them into the grasslands.”
"If that day really comes, I'm willing to be the vanguard!”
Hearing Liu Sheng's confident words, Wei Shang didn't try to persuade him. Instead, he volunteered.
If the other officials present heard it, the memorial to impeach him would have been sent to Chang 'an.
Of course, this was all in the future.
On the way to the prefect's mansion, Liu Sheng asked the leader of the White Horse Righteous Followers, Zhao He,"
"Are you really from the White Horse Tribe?”
"Of course, there are tens of thousands of people in my tribe. They have recently migrated to the nearby grasslands, so after hearing about the king's bravery in resisting the Xiongnu, they came to seek refuge!”
Zhao He explained the situation of the White Horse Tribe in detail.
According to him, the White Horse Tribe had a history of hundreds of years, which could be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period.
They were originally a large clan from the border of Qin and Zhao. In order to avoid the war, they entered the grasslands and lived a nomadic life.
Recently, many clansmen heard the call of their ancestors in their dreams, so they followed the guidance of their ancestors and came to Yunzhong to pledge loyalty to Liu Sheng.
If anyone else heard this, they would most likely be suspicious.
Liu Sheng, on the other hand, was different. He could only sigh at how powerful the system was. It actually made up a decent background for the three thousand White Horse Righteous Followers.
"Does anyone in your tribe know how to raise horses?"
"Of course, if no one raised horses, everyone would have starved to death!”
Zhao He was very talkative and was not a puppet.
"The clan still has about a thousand white horses in reserve. The rest were exchanged with other tribes.”
Liu Sheng was still thinking about how many horses he needed to pick out from the three thousand white horses.
Could the system have prepared a hidden gift bag for him?
It was not until he heard the other party's words that he revealed a look of realization and disappointment.
"In the future, your tribe needs to expand the scale of grazing. If you need anything, feel free to ask the Minister.”
If the people of the White Horse Tribe were used properly, they would be of no less help to him than the White Horse Righteous Followers.
Sure enough, leaving Chang 'an was definitely the right choice.
Everyone thought that Liu Sheng was sent to the border, but who knew his true ambition?
"Just wait and see. When I step into Chang 'an again, the whole world will tremble!”
……
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
A huge convoy slowly entered the City Amongst the Clouds and was warmly welcomed.
State Minister Wei Shang came forward to welcome the soldiers and the trembling craftsmen.
It was not an easy journey. The distance from Chang 'an to Yunzhong was more than a thousand miles.
In addition to crossing the river and changing the route.
It was not easy for this team to complete the journey in two months.
Zhang Tang came out of the convoy. Although he looked tired, he was very excited.
This was the place where he was going to show off his skills.
Walking on the street, his first impression was that it was clean.
Whether it was the attire of the passersby or the cleanliness of the road, it was far beyond Zhang Tang's imagination.
He had thought that this place was located in a border county and was often harassed by the Xiongnu.
The people in the city must be suffering, their faces yellow and their muscles thin.
He did not expect it to be so different.
Moreover, weren't there too many private schools in the city?
After walking for a few miles, Zhang Tang had already found three private schools, which were even more densely packed than in Chang 'an.
He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He walked to the window of the private school and listened to the children reciting inside.
" Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, Universe, Chaos."
"The sun and moon are full, and the stars are arranged."
“……”
"Ignorant and ignorant."
"It is said that he is a helper."
The more Zhang Tang listened, the more serious his expression became.
This children's beginner's book was not only neat and organized, but the sentences were also simple and easy to recite and remember.
The whole article is brilliant in literary talent, and it cannot be compiled by anyone other than a master of classics.
"Who did this?"
Zhang Tang was greatly worried. Could it be someone from the scholarly faction?
In today's world, after decades of Confucian sages lecturing and preaching everywhere.
Seventy to eighty percent of the scholars in the world came from the Confucian Sect.
This couldn't help but worry the other knowledgeable people such as Elder Huang and Legalism.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Confucians weren't liked by the rulers and lacked the right to speak in the upper echelons of the court, then it would have been impossible.
Given the domineering nature of the scholarly faction, they would have long since exterminated the other sects.
As a disciple of Legalism, Zhang Tang was deeply worried about this.
When he turned around, he suddenly saw the tutor holding the items. He seemed to have been struck by lightning and then rushed into the private school as if he was possessed.
"I'm sorry, may I ask what you're holding in your hand?”
The tutor was originally very unhappy to be interrupted in class, but when he heard this, his expression became a little better. He said,
"This is the Thousand Character Classic, which His Highness the Cloud King personally compiled for children.”
Cloud King Liu Sheng?
Zhang Tang was shocked when he heard this. He originally thought that this was written by a great scholar from the border.
However, he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart. He pointed at the item in the other party's hand and said,"I'm asking, what is this carrier?”
Even though he was a little far away, he could still see the black words on it.
"Oh, this is the Cloud Paper, which was also invented by His Highness the Cloud King!”
Although it was called Cloud Paper, it was actually just an ordinary piece of white paper.
The tutor said it lightly, but he did not know that these words were no different from thunder in Zhang Tang's ears.
As a scholar, he understood the importance of this piece of paper all too well.
