In these days when Lu Shi was busy day and night, the third uncle was not idle, and was trying his best to buy horses.

Because according to the regulations of the last reward of the cottage, Li Li's first team has become the Black Tiger Guard, and they must all be disguised as cavalry and become a force under the direct command of the great commander of Tianxing, and no longer let this great commander become the nominal number one but an out-and-out bare-pole commander.

However, the horses on the original cottage and the horses captured in several battles totaled more than 300, all of which were under the name of Zhao Dahai's cavalry.

Originally, Li Li, as the justified captain of the Black Tiger Guard, was instructed by the military advisor to ask Zhao Dahai for some war horses for the first time, but when Li Li came to Zhao Dahai's cavalry camp, he was the first to fail to pass the pass of Zhao Dahai's personal guard.

Feelings, the reward conference is over, Zhao Dahai is the first to feel the crisis, think about it, Lu Shi, this stupid brother, suddenly announced that the first team would become cavalry, where did the war horses come from? Aren't you going to get some out of yourself? I am now 300 people here, and now all the war horses on the cottage are under my hands, so where can I give up?

So before the conference was over, Zhao Dahai was the first to sneak out of the venue, and ran back to his cavalry garrison with his two personal guards.

Cavalry is not like infantry, stables, training grounds, etc. occupy a large area, originally accommodated three or five thousand people and horses, Woniu Mountain, which originally accommodated three or five thousand horses, has now reached tens of thousands of horses, where can it accommodate three hundred cavalry? If the cavalry is really placed in the cottage, the now overcrowded cottage does not cause traffic accidents every day?

Therefore, Lu Shi asked Cao Meng to build a simple small village five miles in front of the cottage to settle the cavalry under the deputy command of Zhao Dahai. First, the place is spacious and can afford to run horses, and secondly, it also has a warning place for the old camp in front of the cottage, so it is just right to kill two birds with one stone.

As long as Zhao Dahai doesn't fall behind himself in major matters, he is also happy to be at ease, so he readily accepts it. In this way, this small village has become Zhao Dahai's ** kingdom.

Now Zhao Dahai hurried back to his small village, and as soon as he stepped into the gate of the village, he shouted loudly to the brothers who were defending the wall: "Hurry up, close the door, let the dogs go, and prevent thieves." ”

Everyone is puzzled, why is the deputy commander so close to the enemy? Look at the fact that there is no alarm from the sergeant outside, why do you have to close the gate? also put the dog to prevent thieves, he is a thief, where is the thief?

Zhao Dahai's words when he entered the gate of the village made everyone suddenly realize: "There is a thief." ”

The cavalry fortress was thus slammed into closure.

When Li Li, who was full of interest, came to the cavalry village to ask for war horses, he saw a big closed door.

Then why didn't the guards know Li Li? At the same time, Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and ordered those cavalry captains. Who would dare to put Li Li into Xiaozhai and be punished for collaborating with the enemy.

Who else dares to let Li Li in at this moment, even if Li Li shouts outside and breaks his throat.

Guo Tianxing heard the depressed Li Li report on the process of eating deflated, and he was furious at that time, and personally rode to Xiaozhai to ask for a horse, you can block Li Li, but I am the commander, who dares to block my steps.

Now the brother who blocked the gate is in a dilemma, you can block Li Li, after all, it is a brother of the same level, but now it is indeed the pro-master of the big family, this is the nominal leader of the cottage, and people have the right to come and go to any cottage.

The little brother ran back to the small village nest in a puff of smoke, and reported the matter of the Tianxing blocking the door to Zhao Dahai, and let Zhao Dahai have a headache.

When Zhao Dahai heard that Tianxing had come in person, he also had a headache, so everyone hid and became turtles. Let a brother stand on the wall and say to Tianxing: "Great Commander, I'm sorry, my deputy commander is sick and can't see anyone. ”

Guo Tianxing was angry at that time, how could this person be so shameless, he was still outrageous when he was rewarded just now, and he was sick in a blink of an eye? Or is it the kind of disease that can't see people, is there such a pretend? It's too fake, isn't it?

"Then you open the door, I'll go in and see Brother Zhao's illness, don't get sick." Guo Tianxing took out a hand at that time to care about the expressions of his subordinates, and began to ask for warmth.

The brother hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "Grand Commander, don't, don't come in, now the deputy commander is too sick, and the disease is contagious." ”

Guo Tianxing gritted his teeth and said, "If you open the door, I will see the infection." ”

"No, our yard is full of mad dogs now, it's really not good."

"Mad dogs? I think you're a mad dog, and you can't open it. ”

"No, it's said by the crazy deputy commander." The answer is absolutely categorical, the county official might as well take care of it first, and your big commander is not as effective as the deputy commander who spanks him at any time.

"You. You..."You've been in the sky for a long time, and it's really no longer in a rut, if people don't open it, you can't set up a ladder to attack the village, isn't that a joke?"

So, in front of Zhao Dahai, a scoundrel, Guo Tianxing had no choice but to turn around the cottage in frustration.

Seeing the military advisor, let Lu Shi find a way, Lu Shi could only hold the tooth and smile bitterly, but he couldn't ask Tianxing to squat outside the door of the small village all day long, so Lu Shi's eyes turned: "Great commander, why don't you discuss with the third uncle?" ”

A reminder to the dreamer, yes, the current third uncle has a lot of money in his hands, and he can buy horses.

So Guo Tianxing trotted to the third uncle for help.

For the current third uncle, he is already an absolute nouveau riche, with a lot of money, especially his nephew who came to ask for help, and waved his hand at that time: "Buy a horse, what we have is money." ”

At that time, Shaanxi and other places were not only close to Mongolia, but also an important implementation area of the Ming Dynasty's horse administration.

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the influence of factors such as the national defense situation, special attention was paid to Ma Zheng. The grassland in the Loess Plateau is widely distributed and the area is also very vast, especially the development of horse pasture in some areas of Shaanxi and Shanxi is the most prominent. Led by the Taifu Temple, it is controlled by the military department. The horses of Taifu Temple are divided into groups, the small group is composed of one horse and four horses, and every five small groups are managed by the group chief, and there are a large number of horses in the border areas and the interior of the country to herd. In addition, it is stipulated that the people raise horses, raise one horse under 15 ding, raise two horses above 16 ding, and hand over one horse every two years, and can be exempted from paying half of the grass grain.

However, in that era, anything could be made by the officials to make the people's resentment boiling, until finally Hebei Mahu was overwhelmed, the outbreak of Liu Liu Liu Qi uprising, the leader of the rebel army raised horses since childhood, brave and good at riding and shooting, the rebel army in the horse household, mainly cavalry, "the horsepower is leisurely galloping, the field does not fight the city, and the void is not a cube", wandering and raiding everywhere, until the Ming Dynasty transferred the Liaodong iron cavalry that had been fighting with the Mongols for a long time, and suppressed the rebel army.

Therefore, buying a horse in Shaanxi is not a problem. At that time, a war horse, a high-grade Mongolian horse, only cost eight taels of silver, seven taels of medium, and six taels of inferior, while a folk horse was discounted by twenty-four taels.

Now the third uncle doesn't care about this small amount of money, so he let out the rumors, and the cottage buys 400 war horses for 321.

As soon as this price came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Yansui, and various merchants, horse dealers, and horse thieves came to sell horses one after another, and in just ten days, the Black Tiger Army once again formed a fierce cavalry of 300 people, as well as a hundred spare war horses.

So Guo Tianxing took his cavalry to roar back and forth in front of Zhao Dahai's small village all day long, showing off his might, making Zhao Dahai sigh again and again: "The villain has ambition, the villain has ambition." ”

So his serious illness was immediately cured, and he hurried to Dazhai, and solemnly told Tianxing, I am not jealous of your three hundred cavalry, but you still have a hundred spare horses, which will not work, so I also want a hundred spare horses.

This proposal was rejected by the third uncle and Lu Shi at that time.

A hundred horses are only three thousand taels of silver, which is now a small matter for the cottage, but the cost of forage for a war horse is amazing, and raising a war horse can definitely raise five infantry, which is a long-term expense, and the reserves on the cottage cannot meet this requirement.

Zhao Dahai was unwilling, so he directly took the men and horses to steal when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the result was that when Zhao Dahai sneaked into Guo Tianxing's stable with the men and horses, he was greeted by Guo Tianxing holding his arms and laughing there, and flying with a mess.

This matter was told to the military advisor again, and Lu Shi looked at Zhao Dahai, who was full of bags in the dark, who didn't know who was beating, and he could only cry and laugh.

But this matter really can't be punished by anyone, because our Black Tiger Army advocates the whole team to fight, and if you are defeated, it means that your skills are not as good as others, and you can only consider yourself unlucky.

In the end, Lu Shi decided, and thinned the mud, and gave Zhao Dahai fifty spare war horses.

When Ku handed over the war horse to the proud Zhao Dahai, and when Guo Tianxing slapped the bruised Zhao Dahai fiercely, his mouth was a serious warning to Zhao Dahai: "Brother Dahai, say okay, I will lend it to you, and you will capture it and return it to me in the future." ”

Zhao Dahai, who was grinning and hurting from the old wound, gritted his teeth and said, "Then you have to wait, we have to practice during the day tomorrow." ”

"That's no problem, tomorrow we'll have another complete match, and then, you must remember that you owe me fifty war horses." With that, he laughed and left.

Now things are bad, two groups of men and horses are in the valley outside the cottage all day long, fighting back and forth with sticks in their hands, and every day the injured brothers are carried back to the old camp.

Today, Zhao Dahai is victorious, so he shouts and shouts in front of Guo Tianxing, and tomorrow Guo Tianxing wins, and he will immediately return this contempt to Zhao Dahai.

The results of such a confrontation are also obvious, the actual combat skills of the two teams are rising in a straight line, as long as the saber is fired, these two pairs of cavalry can immediately drive to the battlefield and fight directly.

Guo Tianxing didn't regard himself as a commander, but directly as the captain of the cavalry, and directly put Li Li in the air, and made Li Li anxious that the root of his teeth itched, if it weren't for the cavalry, he would have jumped ship a long time ago.

Li Li complained to the military advisor, and Lu Shi seriously criticized the commander for not doing his job, but every time he was told by Tianxing: "Everything in the cottage is decided by the military advisor." "Launched, Lu Shi still wanted to reason with him again, but as a result, the stars ran away without a shadow.
