Of course, Gao Pragmatic could see Cao Gan's joy at a glance, but he had always insisted that His Majesty should be gracious and powerful, so he decided to reveal a piece of information to Cao Gan, and said lightly at the moment: "Xuanfu Ma Lanxi, after I return to Beijing after a while, I will also inform him, and say that Baili Gorge is already my industry, and he will take more care of you." ”

Cao Gan was really taken aback: "The young master and Ma Zongrong also have a relationship?" ”

"I don't have any friendship with Ma Zongrong, but ......" Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "The front line of Xuanda, whether it is supervision, fu, or town and guard, all take the head of my third uncle, Xuangongma." ”

Cao Gan was happy in his heart, but he was a little afraid. I am happy that I have always taken the road of Xuanfu, and it is bound to be more stable in the future, and I am afraid that the business will continue to be strong, and since Datong is also the same as Xuanfu, he is the pawn of Gao Ge Lao, and he takes advantage of Gao Gongzi's east wind, wouldn't he also have the opportunity to do it?

But I am afraid that there may be more than joy: I almost broke ground on Tai Sui's head a few days ago, if I really made Gao Gongzi a good one, I am afraid that even if Gao Ge Lao did not speak, Ma Zongrong had to personally go out to level the Baili Gorge in order to clear himself or make up for his mistakes, that situation ......

Cao Gan shivered, and said secretly: Bodhisattva bless, fortunately, Gao Gongzi Jiren has his own natural appearance, so he did not make a big mistake, Amitabha.

Cao Gan no longer dared to have the slightest doubt about Gao Shishi's strength in his heart, and hurriedly showed his loyalty with practical actions: "Young master, after the inventory of the property and property in Bailixia, the little one first sent 30,000 taels of silver to Sanshenyuan, plus 100 war horses, 50 horses, 50 donkeys, 100 fat pigs, 100 sheep, and 20 carts of silk and satin cloth. The rest, you see? ”

"I didn't intend for you to send this right now." Gao pragmatically said that you sent it all, and I was happy to say something nice, but I waved my hand and pretended to be indifferent, and said, "Okay, since it has been delivered, let's put it in Sanshen Garden first." As for the remainder, you can make another copy of the account book for me, and the things will continue to be placed in Bailixia, otherwise what will you do next? ”

Cao Gan was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly responded.

Gao Shishi thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The war horse you sent this time is very timely......

Cao Gan's heart moved, and he subconsciously asked, "What does the young master mean?" ”

"Let me ask you, can Bailixia pick one or two people who are loyal and honest, but have superb riding skills and solid kung fu to come to me?" Gao pragmatic said, and explained: "You know that I have just organized a family guard here, but the time is too short, all the training is not on the right track, and the equipment and everything is still blank, let alone riding training." ”

Cao Gan knew about this matter, but his thinking seemed to be different from Gao Shishi's: "Young master, this cavalry battle is not comparable to foot combat, in our northern land, infantry combat training can be dealt with in three or five months." Looking at the world, the one who has practiced the longest is Qi Yuanjing of the Southern Army, and it is said that his training is two years old and three years can be fought. But this cavalry battle is different, three years ...... Even if you can control the horse and wield the knife on the battlefield, if you want to really talk about the elite, you don't have more than five years of work, don't think about it, otherwise why are most of the elite families under Ma Zongrong Mongolian? Isn't it because the Mongolians use horses all the year round, and their riding skills are far more solid than those of our Han people? ”

When he said this, he concluded: "Therefore, according to the villain's meaning, if the young master wants a family guard who can ride and fight, it is better to select it directly from Baili Gorge, otherwise it will not work at all for a while." ”

It's not that Gao Pragmatic doesn't know that cavalry combat is difficult to practice, but it is still a little unexpected for him to be so difficult, after all, he was a politician back then, and he didn't study the ancient cavalry tactics carefully at all, and the only bit of ancient cavalry knowledge was pieced together from the east and the west, and it was definitely not enough to see in front of Cao Gan - unless he wanted to engage in French wall heavy cavalry tactics. But of course that's impossible, and it's not a brain burnt out to take a Mongolian horse that is short, good at endurance and easy to raise.

But directly selected from Bailixia Xiangma, Gao pragmatic and a little unhappy - although Bailixia has now surrendered to himself, but after all, he is still just a stranger to them, they are willing to listen to Cao Gan's persuasion to submit to themselves, I am afraid that most of them are unwilling to give up the existing "good life", such a group of people, used for their own close protection, is inevitably a little not enough to rest assured.

He pondered for a moment before asking, "I remember you just said that there are more than 100 young riders who have been trained in riding in Baili Gorge?" ”

Cao Gan hurriedly said: "The young master has a good memory, there are a total of one hundred and sixteen people. ”

Gao pragmatically pondered and asked, "If you were asked to choose sixteen of the best young riders...... How much worse are their horsemen than your age-old horses? ”

Cao Gan thought for a moment before answering: "If it is almost the same as the riding skills themselves, just the experience of facing the enemy in battle, I am afraid they are far from enough. ”

Gao pragmatic waved his hand, made a decision directly, and said: "Then let's do it, you choose sixteen young riders with the best riding skills to be my direct cavalry guards, and choose two more experienced subordinates, one to teach these young riders the experience of riding battles, and the other is to teach me the family guards under my command - I don't want them to master the ability of riding quickly, but at least they must be able to ride horses and abandon horses to fight." ”

Cao Gan felt a little regretful in his heart, but after thinking about it, it was already good to have such a beginning, so he immediately agreed.

The momentary disappointment in his eyes was clearly captured by Gao Pragmatic, who was the best at observing words and feelings, but Gao Pragmatic did not say anything, let alone regret it.

This is not because he is pragmatic and courageous, but he knows that Cao Gan's desire to directly use the people and horses of Baili Gorge as his guards is not out of the intention of harming himself or holding himself hostage, he probably hopes that he will be surrounded by his people and horses in Baili Gorge, because only in this way will he pay more attention to Baili Gorge.

You must know that now just here in Sanshenyuan, the power under his hands is divided into three parts: the Xinzheng old family faction represented by Gao Mo and Gao Xiaozhuang, the Sanshenyuan faction represented by the three stewards of Sanshenyuan, and the Bailixia faction represented by Cao Gan.

Since there are factions under the hands, don't think that they will not "compete for favor", after all, as the old saying goes: "A crying child has milk". The so-called crying, in fact, to put it bluntly, will attract attention, children are like this, and subordinates are also like this.

Gao Pragmatic is experienced at this point, so although he won't point it out, he will never let Cao Gan really get what he wants - you have a faction, and I, the young master, can control it! Otherwise, your Bailixia itself is so strong now, and I will let your people surround me, even if it is hindered by my identity, you don't dare to have any bad intentions, but for the benefit of the Bailixia faction, you Cao really can't do it?

Even if it's true, I can't believe it. The bad habit of sitting back and watching the dominance of one faction must be put an end to!
