According to the process, Li Rui was promoted from a small Quhou to a lieutenant, and should give thanks to the emperor for his gratitude. He also said to the emperor that I would like to report to the Shangshu Desk, to handle some relationships, show his presence in front of his immediate boss, and also say hello to his colleagues. But now everything is simple. Shangshu Desk is controlled by Sima Yue's people, and the imperial edict for promotion to the Tiger Cavalry Captain was issued directly by the emperor by the Shangshu Desk. If he dares to report to the Shangshu Desk, he will be light on the entire process because the procedure is inconsistent, and it may be easy for someone to pick a mistake and kill him. Sima Yue and the emperor are so fierce that he may not dare to touch a big man like Yang Chen, but if you dare to come over, you are simply thinking that your life is too long!

However, it still has to be written. Whether the emperor reads it or not is his business. In short, it has to be written, otherwise it will not give the emperor face. Once it leaves a bad impression on the emperor, it will be miserable. This has posed a big problem for Li Rui. The official common fonts of the Western Jin Dynasty are official script and regular script. He has never learned these two fonts, and he has not even practiced calligraphy. If he asked him to write a tribute to him for hundreds of words? That would cost him his life!

Do you really think he, an illiterate Jin Dynasty, was just talking about it? That really doesn’t know a single word!

"You can write for me!" he said to Pei Wei.

Pei Wei frowned and said, "I will ask someone to write it for you? What a moral character!"

Li Rui was confident: "I don't write well, but you are literary. What's wrong with helping me?"

Pei Wei said: "Don't help! Write it yourself!"

Li Rui said angrily: "I won't help, right? I'm going to find someone else, but I don't believe that there are so many people under my rank, and I can't find a few who can write well!"

Pei Wei said: "You go and look for it. Don't look at the nearly two thousand people under you, and there are really a lot of people, but there are not many of them who can write good articles. If you really have such talents, you will have been picked out long ago!"

Li Rui: "..."

I was sloppy and forgot that studying in this era is a benefit for those of good families and above. What is a good family? The family is at least a small manor, with hundreds of acres or even hundreds of acres of land. The brushes, paper, ink, inkstones and other stationery in this era are expensive, and books are even rare and precious. The cost of reading is quite high. It is said that poor people are rich in literature and martial arts. In fact, in this era, poor people cannot even read books. Not many people can afford to read books, so scholars are naturally precious and highly valued. Beigong Jing mainly recruits people from the beggar army. There are not many scholars in the beggar army. After being selected by Beigong Jing for a round, even fewer ones. It is not easy to find a few good articles.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will look for it in Luoyang City! There are always people who can write good articles in Luoyang City, right? I don't believe it, I can't find it! But you, you are unwilling to help with this little busy. I remember you, don't expect me to invite you to have a meal and drink again in the future!"

Pei Wei, who was already stumped and a little proud, suddenly felt that he had been hit hard and hit the stomach... The world is so conscience, Li Rui is definitely a loyal brother. When he was injured and bedridden, he would make some delicious dishes to bring for him. After brewing the strong wine, he quietly kept a little, and invited him to drink two glasses every few days. Pei Wei's family is well-off, and he asked himself that he had tasted a lot of delicious wine and food, but he gave it to Li Rui.

After coming over, he felt that all he had eaten and drunk for more than 20 years. Especially Li Rui's strong liquor, after drinking, he could not directly look at the water-slightly water-like wine, which was as bland as water and had a lot of residue. He didn't really want to help, but just wanted to make things difficult for this guy a little bit of strong liquor from this guy. But who would have thought that this guy would throw the king bomb directly and would never invite him to have a meal or drink again!

How can this work?

Pei Wei pounced on him and said repeatedly: "Don't say, Master Captain, I'm joking with you. Do you think I'm not willing to help even with this little busy?"

Li Rui was determined: "Similar!"

Pei Wei said: "That's because you were dazzled. You read it wrong! Isn't it just a thank-you gift? I'll write it for you in less than an hour!"

Li Rui looked at him with a squinted eye: "It's better to do it!"

Pei Wei patted his chest hard: "I guarantee it can be done!"

Li Rui said: "Then I will leave this thank you for your favor. Write it well. If you have finished writing, I will invite you to drink!"

Pei Wei saliva: "Okay!"

So, Li Rui irresponsibly handed over the arduous and glorious task of writing thanking for gratitude to Pei Wei, and ran out to toss the cavalry himself.

In his position, he had to do his own affairs. Since he became the captain of the Tiger Cavalry, he had to be responsible for the lives of nearly two thousand people under his command. After Li Rui took over the four hundred cavalry and established the Tiger Cavalry unit, he began to formulate training plans. Not only that, he also transferred Yang Zhi, Yang Yong, Zhou Lan, and Cao Hu, the brave and fierce fighting characters. Zhou Lan and Cao Hu were directly promoted to Quhou, Yang Zhi and Yang Yong were promoted to the garrison leader, and the straw troupe team had just been established, so he couldn't have no one of his own people, right?

Of course, he arranged these to the auxiliary troops. The heavy cavalry was a solid piece, and these outsiders could not get in in a short time, so it took time.

In addition, Li Rui also upgraded the cavalry equipment.

The three hundred sets of horse armor were accepted by Beigong Jing, and the half-equipped cavalry war horses without horse armor were basically running naked. The horse body and felt blanket covers to prevent the raids from being scratched, but the horse's head, neck and chest are basically naked, which is a bit deadly. For half-equipped cavalry, the best tactic is to shoot people and shoot horses first. As long as the war horse is shot down, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, they are basically dead. Even if they don't consider the cavalry, they have to consider the war horse? An iron-armored heavy cavalry and the armor weigh far more than 200 kilograms. It is very precious to carry such a heavy iron can on the battlefield!

If you want to protect a war horse, the best way is to put armor on the war horse.

However, the number of horse armor is too small, and the cost of making and maintaining is very high. Moreover, the thing is too heavy. Once put on, the speed of the cavalry will be greatly reduced, which is a bit unworthy. So Li Rui adopted a compromise plan, and got iron materials for the craftsmen to make a batch of horse helmets for each war horse to wear. He also dismantled the seized Hu people tents, reprocessed the cowhide, and made it into a vest for the war horse to put on. This leather vest is divided into two parts: tribute armor and breastplate, with the thickest part exceeding fourteen millimeters, which protects the horse's neck and chest tightly, but the rear half of the body of the war horse is not protected by armor. In this way, when the war horse charges head-on, the horse helmet and neck armor and breastplate can withstand the dense rain of arrows, but there is no protection on both sides and behind the war horse, which is similar to the armor distribution of modern main battle tanks.

Wang Fu immediately raised a question: "What should I do if the horse's belly, horse buttocks? These parts have no protection at all. Once attacked, the war horse will be either killed or injured!"

Li Rui widened his eyes: "When you rode a horse and charge forward, you were facing the enemy with your belly and buttocks?"

Wang Fu choked and said, "Captain, you are joking. How could someone use his horse's belly and horse buttocks to face the enemy when riding a horse to charge? But once the horse's belly and horse buttocks are rushing into the enemy's formation, they will encounter attacks from all directions. The horse's belly and horse buttocks are unprotected and are easily attacked by the enemy!"

Li Rui's eyes widened: "Who asked you to attack the enemy infantry phalanx that was ready for battle? If you want to commit suicide, you can find a better way to die, right? You won't use provoking their poor combat effectiveness as a breakthrough? You won't charge again when their formation is scattered? You won't charge when they are not prepared? If it really doesn't work, you can also charge again after they are defeated by our infantry!"

Wang Fu smiled bitterly: "How can there be so many ready-made opportunities on this battlefield!"

Li Rui looked incredible: "If you don't have ready-made opportunities, you can find a way to create opportunities. Isn't this what the generals should do? Otherwise, what's the use of asking you generals?"

Wang Fu: “…”

I was so autistic that I was completely autistic.

In addition to improving equipment, Li Rui also plans to improve the cavalry's skills and tactics.

The six hundred heavy cavalry soldiers are of high quality. Wang Fu's 200 people were from Changshui Army. Without exception, those who could enter Changshui Army were all ruthless characters with a wealthy family and practice martial arts since childhood. They were all skilled in martial arts. The heavy cavalry recruited by Shi Chao was even more extraordinary. The Xianbei and Wuhuan slaves were all trained for many years, and the Han cavalry who took the initiative to join the gang were all bold, riding horses and archers, shooting swords and spears, all of them were excellent. To be honest, if you really want to fight with bare hands, you may not necessarily beat one of the five Li Ruis. Such an elite soldier is perfect in the eyes of the generals of this era. Even if it is the most provocative general, it is difficult to find any mistakes, but in Li Rui's eyes, they have big problems.

The biggest problem is that the discipline is relatively loose. They all rely on their high martial arts skills. When they fight, they scream and rushed forward. After rushing into the enemy formation, they fight with their own hands. Don't expect them to cooperate with each other at all. This disadvantage was exposed in the battle on the ice surface of Luoshui. They rushed out only two or three hundred meters, and their formation became very chaotic. When Li Rui commanded the crossbow chariot to throw ten thousand enemies at them, more than a thousand cavalry immediately

They were trapped in extreme chaos, so chaos that they could not command. It was precisely because of this that the Yue cavalry commanded by Yang Jun surrounded them from both wings, easily clamped them in the middle, unable to move, and then rushed out of the Jin army's infantry camp, killing them overturned. If they could maintain a good formation, let alone throwing a few invincible hot wheels, even if they directly fired shotguns with wooden cannons, it would be difficult to completely disrupt their formation in such a short time!

Once the formation of a heavy cavalry unit is disrupted, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

But they don't think there is any problem with this!
