Zhuge Liang believed that to eliminate the Northern Hu army and completely eliminate the Northern Hu harassment of the northern border counties, we must have a powerful cavalry and establish a military governance strategy that emphasizes both cavalry and infantry.
After Goryeo surrendered, Zhuge Liang proposed to expand the scale of cavalry and the classification configuration and training of cavalry.
To have a strong cavalry, it is necessary to build and improve the construction of the horse government for military purposes.
Since the beginning of the founding of the country, Jin Xuan has adopted various policies to encourage the people to raise horses and encourage merchants to sell horses.
Now there are more than 1.4 million official motors maintained in the country, which is enough to build a powerful cavalry team.
In cavalry construction, we must pay attention to heavy armored cavalry for frontal offense and defense; at the same time, light cavalry should be established to give full play to the advantages of cavalry's strong maneuver power.
Cavalry tactics are also one of the key points of training cavalry. In this era of cold weapons, long-distance raids, roundabouts, and encirclement tactics, the advantages of cavalry will be exerted to the limit.
When you get on the horse, you prepare for battle; when you get off the horse, you will gather to raise herds.
This is a new idea that Jin Xuan combined cavalry with horse raising. This idea extends from the military farming system to take weapons as the army and carry hoes as the people.
During war, he brought weapons and equipment to fight, and during peacetime, he was a herdsman under Yangmasi.
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, Jin Xuan asked the generals of each legion to train their troops through large-scale hunting or long-distance sneak attacks on small tribes with fewer troops, and also specially trained their ability to ride horses, shoot archery and use powerful crossbows.
With outstanding tacticians such as Guan Yu, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Chun and other outstanding tactics, these cavalry will surely become the most powerful army in the world at that time to conquer an unprecedented vast territory.
In the east, we must eliminate the Northern Hu and Hu, intimidate the countries in the Western Regions, and then advance westward to the Atlantic Ocean.
This is Jin Xuan’s expectation for this army and the goal of the generals of each legion training cavalry.
In principle, the troops attacking the Northern Hu are only equipped with cavalry, because only cavalry can have stronger field strength and high maneuverability on the grassland.
After heading north to the grassland, looting enemy horses will be the best way to improve cavalry mobility. If a soldier has more than three war horses and rotates, he can run hundreds of kilometers in a day.
The main weapon equipped by the cavalry on the north is the strong crossbow. Cavalry who have been trained for many years must have the ability to use strong crossbows.
These cavalry will also be equipped with strong bows just equipped by the institute, made of mixed wood and bones, with strong penetration and a long range.
Can shoot accurately in high-speed maneuver (even backwards and shoots back).These crossbows can give the enemy great lethality before close combat.
In addition to being equipped with crossbows and waist knives, the cavalry going north will focus on long weapons, including long spears, big swords, maces, chain hammers, etc. These are designed for the sabers used by the Northern Hu soldiers. In order to deal with the rope covers commonly used by the Northern Hu soldiers (for horse-stucking, people can also be used on the battlefield). These cavalrymen are also equipped with a sharp dagger to cut ropes in time.
In terms of armor, the soldiers and war horses of heavy cavalry are equipped with light iron armor made of thin steel. These cavalry have extremely strong protective power and are the main types of troops for frontal impact.
Light cavalry is mainly made of leather armor, which is light and strong. Although it is not as good as the protection of iron armor, it can win greater mobility.
In terms of horse selection, Jin Xuan proposed to use a large number of small Hu horses, which were called Mongolian horses in later generations.
Although this horse is smaller in size, not as fast as Arabian horses and Arian horses and other Arab horses, the little Hu horses are highly adaptable, resistant to rough feeding, easy to gain weight, and have a long lifespan. They are very suitable for long-distance marching and combat without logistics support. These horses can find food everywhere, and can march fifty to one hundred kilometers a day in grassland terrain and can be used all year round.
And an important point is that the mare of the little Hu horse can produce three to four hundred kilograms of milk during the feeding period, which can become an important food source for cavalry who fight outside for a long time without logistical support.
Another source is plundering. If the troops from the Central Plains are transported from the frontier, it will take time and effort and will be robbed by Beihu on the opportunity.
In order to improve the entire army's recognition of various plans to send troops outside the Frontier, Jin Xuan convened the head generals and military advisors of each legion to gather in Chang'an, and the purpose of forming cavalry, military distribution, training plans, military cooperation plans, horse selection, breeding, and treatment, equipment weapons and armor, climate characteristics of the Beihu region, logistics supply and emergency plans for foreign combat are all discussed.
This rally established a strategic concept for the attack on Beihu and formed a number of tactical plans.
The tactical plan formulated by Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guo Jia and others was finalized after discussion by the head generals and military advisors of each legion, and was distributed to the deputy generals and above of each legion.
According to the suggestions of the chief generals and military advisors, Jin Xuan decided to form twelve cavalry corps, each with 100,000 cavalry, and five generals, each with 20,000 troops.

The Sima Shi Army, focusing on preventing civil strife, was a mobile force, commanded Zhang Yàn, Han Sui, Zhang Heng, Zhang Ji, Ma Wan, Cai Zhong, Cai He and other generals to lead 100,000 troops to station in Changsha.
The main task of this route is to combat civil strife and to make mobile troops.
