The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

The two key squire knights are also quite extraordinary.

Although they were not as strong as heavy cavalry, they were also wearing chain mail and holding long spears in their hands, looking very majestic.

In terms of aura, it is almost on par with heavy cavalry.

What excited Ning Quan the most were the seven war horses, all of which were top-notch horses selected from thousands of miles away.

As for the remaining ten auxiliary soldiers, they were also equipped with light armor, shields and swords.

Although they cannot be compared with cavalry, they are no different from ordinary infantry.

This is equivalent to adding an infantry unit out of thin air, which just solves the problem of insufficient defensive forces.

This is really a timely help.

"Hahahaha..., ok, that's great."

Ning Quan said loudly.

I feel extremely refreshed at this moment.

"Haha, Your Highness, this is the first time you've seen heavy cavalry."

Hearing Ning Quan's words, Li Jing said with a faint smile.

"Yes, I have never seen it. I have only heard that heavy cavalry is unstoppable. Now I see that it is indeed true."

"But what's going on with them? The king summoned a heavy cavalry, so why are there so many of them?"

Ning Quan pointed at the attendants and auxiliary soldiers and asked.

"Your Highness, this is not surprising, as it is standard equipment for heavy cavalry."

"Perhaps, that's what your Highness's system has determined."

Li Jing smiled.

"The standard configuration recognized by the system?"

Ning Quan asked in surprise.

“Yes, it’s standard.”

"It's common sense that every heavy cavalryman has squires and auxiliaries to assist and protect him."

"That's still a small number. According to the Tang Dynasty military system, a heavy cavalryman must have at least three squires and sixteen auxiliary soldiers. It's more than that."

"I considered that this might happen, so I asked Your Highness to summon one first and see. I never expected it to become a reality."

Li Jing smiled slightly.

"Oh I got it."

"General Li, you really have given me a big surprise. I didn't expect you to have anticipated this!"

Hearing this, Ning Quan laughed.

The military god of the Tang Dynasty is truly awesome, and he has truly planned everything out.

"Your Highness has given you the compliment."

Li Jing said modestly.

"Haha, anyway, you guessed it right, didn't you?"

Ning Quan laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

It was true that Ning Quan had never seen heavy cavalry, but that did not prevent him from knowing how powerful they were.

At least in ancient times, heavy cavalry was definitely a weapon of war and an invincible existence.

With this heavy cavalry, the Hun cavalry are no problem at all.

"General Li, there is something I don't understand."

"Can a knight's squire also be used as heavy cavalry?"

"As for these auxiliary soldiers, can they be used as infantry when necessary?"

Guan Yu suddenly asked.

"Haha, of course you can. The squires are the assistants and substitutes of the heavy cavalry. They will also charge into battle together."

"As for the auxiliary troops, they can certainly be used as infantry."

"I understand what General Guan means. He is considering our lack of manpower, which is not a problem."

"But heavy cavalry and retainers must not dismount to fight, and certainly not be used as infantry. Otherwise, the gains would outweigh the losses."

"Heavy cavalry training is extremely difficult. It requires not only long-term and tenacious patience, but also excellent qualities and high morale. We must not let them be easily lost."

"The same goes for war horses. Heavy cavalry horses have all undergone special training and are different from ordinary war horses, so they must not be lost."

Li Jing explained.

"Thank you, General, for clarifying my confusion. I understand."

After hearing this, Guan Yu clasped his fists and said

"General Guan, you are too polite. We are all His Highness's subjects."

Li Jing waved his hand.

"General Li, if this is the case, how many cavalrymen should I summon?"

Ning Quan asked.

"Your Highness, only five hundred heavy cavalry and one thousand light cavalry will be enough."

After thinking for a moment, Li Jing replied.

"Five hundred heavy cavalry and one thousand light cavalry."

"Okay, I understand."

"It's just that the place here is too small. We need to find another place to summon."

Ning Quan looked at the small backyard and frowned.

"Your Highness, there is no need to summon them just yet. After all, the Xiongnu army will not arrive for another twenty days."

"Summoning it now would only be a waste of food."

"Half a month later, Your Highness, it won't be too late to go directly outside the city and summon them out."

"The cavalry can then stay outside the city and just bring the auxiliary troops back."

Hearing this, Li Jing hurriedly said.

"Well, that makes sense. Then let's do as General Li says."

"What about these?"

Ning Quan nodded and pointed at the heavy cavalry.

"Your Highness, please hand them over to me. I still need to carefully understand their combat capabilities so that I can have a clearer idea of their capabilities."

Li Jing said.

"Well, I'll have to trouble General Li."

"Alright, since there are no other issues, I hereby declare that General Li Jing will take full command of this battle."

"All generals must cooperate and follow General Li's instructions to defeat the Xiongnu army."

Ning Quan looked at everyone and said.

"Yes."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Afterwards, Li Jing took everyone away.

"Prime Minister, Military Advisor, do you think we can win this time?"

After Li Jing and others left, Ning Quan looked at Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen and said.

"Your Highness, rest assured. Since General Li Jing said there is no problem, then there is definitely no problem. This time our army will definitely win a great victory."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Yes, General Li's ability is self-evident. Your Highness really has nothing to worry about."

Liu Bowen also had a smile on his face.

"Since you all say so, I feel relieved."

Ning Quan smiled slightly.

"By the way, Prime Minister, are our clinic, school, and workshop all built?"

Ning Quan suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, it's all completed and will be ready for use in the next few days."

"Fortunately, we recruited doctors, teachers, and a large number of craftsmen in advance, otherwise we wouldn't be able to use it even if we built it."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Well, then let's start it soon."

"In particular, schools must be established as soon as possible, and all children of school age must be enrolled, regardless of whether they are Han or foreign, male or female."

"As long as they are children, they should be taught the Four Books and Five Classics and learn Chinese culture. Only in this way can the Hu people be fully assimilated into Chinese culture as quickly as possible."

Ning Quan warned.

"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, we understand." Zhuge Liang and the other two bowed.

"Well, there's one more thing."

"My father-in-law wrote last time saying that the first batch of prisoners might arrive in the next few days, with about three to four hundred people. We need to prepare in advance."

"Although they are all prisoners, they still need to be given a place to live."

Ning Quan continued.

"Only three or four hundred prisoners? So few?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned.

"Well, that's all."

"But this is the first batch, there may be more later."

"But we can't expect too much. After all, we can't send all the prisoners here. We'll just take what we have."

Ning Quan nodded.

"Yes, I understand. When will the Li family members and the slaves we bought in Wuwei arrive?"

Zhuge Liang asked again.
