Farmer of Shu Han

In Feng Yong's eyes, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were the best candidates for the new cavalry commanders of the Han Dynasty.

After all, he is an S-rank general.

It's just that of these two people, one is already Cang Canghaoshou, and the other has never even seen each other, which is really too regrettable.

Then the second one is Jiang Wei.

At any rate, he is also a general whose measurements have all reached A+ or above, and the probability of breaking through to S rank in the later stage is almost 100%.

It's a pity that the old demon Zhuge's eyes were also very vicious, and he directly took him back to Hanzhong for training.

As a surrendered general who just surrendered, I heard that he has now led six thousand tiger infantry.

That was the Tiger Army, a direct descendant brought out by the old monster Zhuge himself. It seemed that he had made no secret of his respect for Jiang Wei.

From Jicheng to Wudu, defeating Cao Zhen, and then from Wudu to Longxi, the infantry can still gain the upper hand against the cavalry led by Hao Zhao, and the main force is this tiger infantry army.

If it hadn't been for the title of Liehou by himself, the power in his hands, and the fact that he was sitting in a fat and oily position, Feng Tubie would have envied Jiang Wei's treatment, and then ran to chat with the prime minister.

The old demon Zhuge asked Jiang Wei to lead an army of 6,000 tiger infantry. Feng Yong dared to pry the corner of the wall, and he would be hanged and beaten by the prime minister.

So Feng Yong had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

Zhao Guang seems to be the best candidate for the general among short men.

In the past few years, I have washed him so many times, no matter what, I should be able to improve my qualifications a little.

The only two cavalry generals in the Han Dynasty are closely related to him, so they can improve their skills through learning.

Then I would throw some purple and orange outfits on him to create a fake A+ cavalry general, isn't it too much?

"Anyway, you are in Anding, and there are many opportunities to practice your hands, so take advantage of it." Feng Yong patted Zhao Guang on the shoulder, "In the future, if someone flees to Xiaoguan, you can ask someone to send them here, and I will send them here." People come to receive it."

Then he asked someone to give him all the rice he had brought with him, "After the Qiang chaos in Hanyang County is settled, the food roads in Xiaoguan will be much smoother."

"You can bear it for a few more days, and I will have Dongfeng Express deliver a batch of grain in a few days. Then you won't have to eat dry food every day."

It is impossible to be completely unblocked, otherwise Dongfeng Express would not have to recruit so many security personnel.

Even on the road from Jincheng to Hanzhong, there are many barriers and there are many posthouses along the way. The number of business travelers has been increasing in recent years, which can be regarded as busy.

But everyone still has to gather enough people to dare to go on the road, why? Not for the sake of safety.

If you want to walk alone, maybe you will walk to a relatively quiet mountain road, and you will see people going in from one side, but you will never see people coming out from the other side.

Why do so many people want to take advantage of Dongfeng Express now?

It is because Dongfeng Express is already the safest and fastest transportation port in Dahan.

It's not that there are many aristocratic families in Sichuan who don't want to set up some kind of logistics outlet, but 95% of the Yunnan horses that the big man can trade are in the hands of the Xinghanhui.

The remaining half is from Nanzhong.

After all, even if it is the surrendered governor of Nanzhong, it is impossible to completely control what the barbarians sell, isn't it?

The Shuzhong aristocratic family that has shares in the Yuejuan Racecourse can already foresee that in the next few years, it will inevitably make a lot of money.

The taste of monopoly is so cool.

In the past few years, the exchange of materials between Hanzhong, Nanzhong, and Jincheng has doubled every year.

The scale of Dongfeng Express is also expanding explosively, but business expansion is still extremely slow.

The reason is that the business growth within Xinghan Club alone is enough to offset the growth of Dongfeng Express.

Although the Xinghan Society is now fully supporting the Northern Expedition and logistics transportation after the Northern Expedition, other routes must also have a certain amount of transportation.

Otherwise, if the supplies from Nanzhong cannot be transported in, what will happen to the sugarcane garden?

The woolen materials from Hanzhong cannot be transported out, waiting to be moldy?

So the current food shortage problem in Longyou is actually mainly a problem of transportation capacity.

It's just that Zhao Guang was only thinking about Feng Yong's promise to him at this time, and his resentment towards the dry food had long since dissipated.

"Brother, let's make an agreement. If the younger brother really masters the master's cavalry skills, don't forget to promise the younger brother."

Looking at his appearance, as long as he can really have half of Huo Huoqi's ability, no matter how much dry food he eats, he will be fine.

"Two years, I will only give you two years," Feng Yong stretched out two fingers, "Within two years, no matter whether you are a ranger or a sudden rider, you have to let General Ma admit that you can lead the cavalry into battle. , that’s the pass.”

Originally, I wanted to talk about Zhao Yun, but thinking about how difficult it was for this guy to escape from death under Zhao Yun's club, Ma Dai should forget it.

Anyway, Ma Dai is also a figure who follows Ma Chao, and he must be able to tell whether a cavalry general has the ability to lead cavalry into battle.

"One year!" Zhao Guang patted his chest and said, "I will be able to meet my brother's requirements within one year! Brother should prepare for my brother early!"

Hearing what Feng Yong said, Zhao Guang finally confirmed that his brother was definitely not lying to him, so he couldn't wait to remind him immediately.

Since my lord was born as a cavalry master, how could he not have taught me about cavalry?

It's just that the big man lacks horses, so he has no chance to practice.

After all, if you want to deal with the cavalry, the best way is to understand the cavalry first.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guang couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that his brother would have a miscalculation one day.

How could Feng Yong not know where Zhao Guang's self-confidence came from?

Although the main product of the ranch in Nanxiang is sheep, there are still some horses.

In addition, from Juxian County, one head will be saved today and the next will be one for four or five years. In any case, three to five hundred horses can be saved.

When Zhao Guang was stationed in Ju County, he took 300 horses from Nanxiang, and Feng Yong personally nodded his head on this matter.

During the Northern Expedition, Feng Yong also saw the small cavalry team under Zhao Guang's command, which looked quite impressive.

It's just that he naturally won't point it out at this time, children, you need to encourage them to grow better.

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise." Feng Yong first said this to Zhao Guang, and then turned to the door and ordered, "Come here, bring the saber."

"A horse-chopping knife?"

Zhao Guang had never heard of the saber, so he thought it was Feng Yong's slip of the tongue.

Feng Yong shook his head, before he could speak, he saw Liu Hun walking in with a strangely shaped weapon in his hand.

Feng Yong stood up, took the saber from Liu Hun, and pulled it out with a "clang". Even though Zhao Guang was far away, he still felt the chill.

"Good knife!"

But seeing that the blade of this knife is two points thinner than the Saber Saber, and at the same time, the arc is not less than that of the Saber Saber. It seems that the lines are extremely smooth, and you can tell it is a sharp weapon at a glance.

Although the blade is slender, there is actually a blood groove in the middle of the blade.

The handle of the knife is not like that of the Zhanma Dao produced by Nanxiang. An extra hand guard is added to it, and at the same time it is slightly bent towards the edge of the knife.

The whole knife looks a bit weird.

It is strange and murderous, a murderous weapon that makes people obsessed.

Zhao Guang involuntarily wanted to reach out his hand to touch it, but suddenly remembered that these precious swords should be treasured by his elder brother, so he had to put down his hand, but he couldn't take his eyes off for a moment.

Feng Yong threw the knife at Liu Hun, "Go, go outside and demonstrate it to General Zhao."

Liu Hun was the best equestrian under Feng Yong's command. He was overjoyed when he heard the order, and said loudly, "No!"

This treasured saber is an instant weapon, and he was able to touch it once when General Feng was testing its use, but he didn't expect to be able to touch it for the second time now.

Seeing a few people outside the camp, Liu Hun ordered several wooden stakes to be inserted, then got on his horse, accelerated, sprinted, turned back, raised his saber, and cut across the wooden stakes in such a flat manner.

With the help of the horse's sprint, as long as the saber is gripped tightly, there is no need to apply extra force to chop, and the wooden stake is cut directly.

Liu Hun clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, hugged the horse's neck with one hand, bent down, and continued to move forward.

Wherever the blade went, the stakes were cut off one by one.

It seems that the movement is very smooth, without any lag, and even without much effort, the other hand can continue to control the horse.

"Brother, this... this..."

How could Zhao Guang fail to see the advantages of using this saber compared to the weapons used by ordinary cavalry?

He still couldn't believe it, before Liu Hun's horse came to a complete stop, he rushed up, took Liu Hun's place, and started sprinting again.

The stake that was erected was cut off a small section again.

"Brother, this thing is wonderful!"

Zhao Guang was flushed with excitement, got off his horse and ran towards Feng Yong, "This knife not only saves a lot of effort, but also is much more flexible when controlling a horse."

The advantage of the cavalry lies in its flexibility.

At present, halberds and long spears are used for assaulting horses, and ring-shoulders are used to chop horses in melee.

The length of the halberds and spears has limited the ability of people to control the horses. The greatest use of the halberds and spears is that the assault cavalry can pierce the thieves when charging.

But most of the time, it is impossible for a sudden cavalry to break through the army formation all at once, and they will often fall into melee, or need to find an opportunity to turn around.

At this time, the long halberd and long spear have become a burden, so the ring head knife is needed. But compared to using it on flat ground, when the ring head knife is used immediately, there are naturally many restrictions.

At this moment, it seems that this kind of saber is much easier to use than the ring head knife.

For example, the Huan Shou Knife doesn't even have a formal handle, so if it cuts into the thief's body and gets stuck a little, it will be difficult to pull it out.

Unlike this saber, not only does it have a special handle to hold it, it won't fall easily, and it even has a special hand guard.

Moreover, this kind of saber is obviously specially designed for the cavalry, and it is extremely easy to chop and chop on the horse. When the horse is galloping, it doesn't even have the energy to chop and chop, just hold the knife tightly and charge directly.

If he was lucky, he might be able to take the head of the thief directly - Zhao Guang could already imagine what it would be like to cut the neck of the thief on the battlefield with the few wooden stakes he cut just now.

"This is the sixty-five-style saber," Feng Yong said, "it is used by the cavalry in melee and pursuit, of course it is a wonderful thing."

Naturally, halberds and spears are easy to use when charging, and you can kill someone with just poking.

"Sixty-five-style saber?" Zhao Guang didn't understand and looked at a loss.

"You don't need to worry about it, you just need to know that it is called the six-five-style saber, which is what my teacher calls it."

Zhao Guang didn't care, he just held the precious saber and looked at it carefully, "Is this saber the big gift that brother said?"

"This is just one of them. I asked Dongfeng Express to deliver it from Nanxiang a few days ago. It was a sample that I ordered Nanxiang to make carefully. If you find something that is not going well later, you can tell me, and I will send it to you. Nanxiang will make adjustments."

Feng Yong explained, "In the past, the big man didn't have any cavalry, so I couldn't take out some things. Now that there is Longyou, and General Zhao personally guards it, it seems that the big man will definitely form a cavalry in the future."

"My gifts are specially prepared for the cavalry. With them, the combat power of the cavalry is incomparable. It is said that Cao Bandit's tiger and leopard cavalry are the best in the world."

"If these things of mine are equipped for the cavalry, they will be worthy of the four words of elites in the world."

Feng Yong's tone was loud, but Zhao Guang was very happy.

The louder the elder brother's tone, the more it means something good.

Zhao Guang is convinced of this.

In the past few years with my brother, when did my brother say something unreliable? Brother is a playful.

"Then it's settled, the younger brother will be handed over to his elder brother for the rest of his life!"

Zhao Guang was overjoyed, "Whether I can lead the world's elite in the rest of my life depends entirely on my brother!"

In September of the sixth year of Jianxing, the emperor of the Han Dynasty personally conferred Xiang Lang as the Marquis of Xianming Pavilion and Guang Luxun.

Taking his age as an excuse, Xiang Lang made a statement to the emperor: I am now sixty-two, over sixty years old and almost ancient, old and sick, and have no spare time to manage government affairs. If you still hold a high position and do not go, you will be suspected of being greedy, so ask for the bones.

The emperor forbids.

So again and again.

Xiang Lang had no choice but to resign from the post of prime minister.

The emperor sent Xiang Lang's memorial to Hanzhong to read with the prime minister, and the prime minister agreed to Xiang Lang's request.

"Guang Luxun was old and made great achievements. During the Southern Expedition, he was in charge of the aftermath affairs. During the Northern Expedition, he ignored the hard work and went to Long with the army. He was exhausted. If he is made to work too hard, it will appear too unreasonable."

"Therefore, Zhan Zhan resigned from the position of Prime Minister and Chief History, but the rest are retained to show honor."

In the same month, Grand Chief Qiucheng Xu Ci once again proposed to the emperor that now that the Northern Expedition had won a great victory, he could take the opportunity to re-establish the Taixue in order to recruit people of insight from all over the world.

The emperor rejected Xu Ci's proposal again on the grounds that the treasury had insufficient money and food.

When Xu Ci heard about it, she ran to the gate of the palace and burst into tears, singing sadly, "It's been a long time since the Tao was heard! The Son of Heaven wants to revitalize the Han Dynasty, so why not educate him?"

Many people heard Xu Ci's crying, and said with emotion, it seems that it is wrong to hear that this person is not virtuous. Just to cry in front of the emperor's gate in order to revive enlightenment is considered a great virtue!

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven came out to meet Xu Ci in person, and sincerely apologized to Xu Ci, saying that he really didn't think carefully.

At the same time, he made it clear to Xu Ci that although the government treasury was short of money and food, as the lord of the people, he would definitely pay attention to this matter of enlightenment.

Hearing that Nanxiang Academy intends to educate, so I will appoint the well-known Guang Luxun to check it out. If it is true, I will reward it on the spot.

The palace will also send servants and maids to study at Nanxiang Academy to set an example for the world.

Xu Ci hurriedly shouted, "Son of Heaven, Shengming".

Standing at the highest place in the palace, Zhang Xingcai smiled like an aunt when he saw the scene of Junxian and Chenzhong.

But when the news spread to Hanzhong, Li Yi heard that the emperor was good at listening to advice and valued various virtues of education, and also heard that Xiang Lang was sent by the emperor to Nanxiang to observe education, so he stood there for a long time.

In the end, he let out a long breath and said something that no one could understand: "Brother is right, everyone can play!"
