Zhong Hao listened to Yang Huaiyu's persuasion and knew that he was also for his own good, and he was afraid that he would be hurt. However, it is obvious that Yang Huaiyu said this based on his previous perception of his own force value, and he didn't know that he was no longer what he used to be.

However, Zhong Hao didn't explain anything, he originally planned to pretend to be a comparison and shock Yang Huaiyu.

Yes, Zhong Hao listened to Yang Huaiyu's words, and didn't say anything else, just laughed and scolded: "You kid don't talk nonsense, do you have a wrench or not?!" If you bring it, take it out and give it to me to use! ”

"This, wrench, the younger brother naturally has it, but the eldest brother ......"

Zhong Hao interrupted Yang Huaiyu's nagging, and scolded with a smile: "If you have a wrench, you can quickly take it out, where is there so much nonsense!" ”

Yang Huaiyu listened to Zhong Hao's words, and immediately took out a black wrench made of horns from his arms. His horse carries a bow and arrows all year round, and naturally he can't do without this wrench for archery.

Although Yang Huaiyu gave Zhong Hao a wrench, he still told him uneasily: "Big brother, you can be careful, if you can't pull this bow, don't be reckless." This bow is very hard, if you can't pull it or you can't pull it but you have to be strong, you may cut off your fingers if you are not careful. ”

Zhong Hao ignored Yang Huaiyu's nagging, and took the black horn wrench he handed over and put it on the thumb of his right hand.

When Zhong Hao was in Jingqiang Village before, he also knew archery skills, although he didn't use a bow much, but he still knew this basic trick.

At that moment, Zhong Hao didn't say much, took the strong bow with two stones and three buckets, held his breath and concentrated, stretched out his thumb with a wrench to hook the bowstring, and stood still in lunges back and forth. Pulling back with his right hand, pushing his left hand outward, and exerting force on both arms, I saw him exhale and speak: "Open!" ”

Subsequently, Yang Huaiyu was extremely surprised to see his eldest brother's magical performance!

He only listened to the "rattling" of the bow twice, and this hard bow with two stones and three buckets was instantly pulled into a full moon in the hands of his eldest brother.

Zhong Hao kept the effort of pulling this strong bow into a full moon for a while, and then released the bowstring! "Buzz ......", as Zhong Hao released the bowstring, the bowstring of this hard bow with two stones and three buckets continued to vibrato.

At this time, Yang Huaiyu, who was on the side, was completely stunned. Yang Huaiyu saw that the eldest brother, who was very weak in his impression, actually filled this two-stone, three-bucket hard bow that he couldn't even pull up, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Yang Huaiyu exclaimed exaggeratedly on the side: "My God, big brother, you are so powerful, when did you become so powerful." ”

Zhong Hao smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "Big brother is no longer what it used to be. Last year, the eldest brother had to meet a strange person, and the strange person saw that the eldest brother had strange bones and was talented, so he taught the eldest brother a set of exercises! After the eldest brother practiced this set of exercises, this strength increased day by day. In addition to this set of exercises, that strange man also taught the eldest brother a set of swordsmanship, and the eldest brother now has a small success. Hehe, let's try it when we have time! ”

Yang Huaiyu looked stunned and said in surprise: "Ah...... Really?! There is such a magical exercise in the world?! Yang Huaiyu listened to Zhong Hao's words, and was even more surprised than he just saw that his eldest brother would pull away the strong bow with two stones and three buckets. It's unbelievable.

Zhong Hao smiled: "Is this still fake?!" Isn't this living example of big brother standing in front of you now, didn't you see that you just pulled out the strong bow with two stones and three buckets?! Big brother, if I hadn't encountered this adventure, how could I have become so powerful if I had been awarded this wonderful exercise by a strange person?! ”

Yang Huaiyu always felt that this matter was too amazing and unbelievable. But when he heard Zhong Hao say this, he couldn't help but believe it. Speaking of this, Yang Huaiyu still remembered that his eldest brother asked him about martial arts in the past, and asked him if he had any exercises such as internal strength, and he swore that he didn't. This is the only way to learn martial arts, and only this is to polish your muscles and bones from an early age and exercise your muscles and bones diligently! I didn't expect that this eldest brother really encountered this kind of exercise that can quickly increase strength and transform the body, this is ...... This big brother's luck is too good, right?!

However, Yang Huaiyu saw Zhong Hao's mysterious look, but he was not sure whether what his eldest brother said was true or false, his eldest brother's heart and eyes were enough to play with both of them, maybe he was lying to him to play, anyway, Yang Huaiyu felt unlikely. Yang Huaiyu felt that there was a way to determine whether his eldest brother had really met this strange person, and had to teach this wonderful exercise, that is, to try it with his eldest brother. It just so happened that his eldest brother said that he wanted to compete with himself, and he just took this opportunity to see if the eldest brother really had a great increase in force. If this martial art really becomes stronger, it is estimated that what his eldest brother said will be true. After all, this strong bow with two stones and three buckets is opened, maybe it is because his eldest brother has divine power in this life, it may be that his eldest brother has not found out! And recently suddenly discovered, so I was able to pull away the strong bow of these two stones and three buckets. But this person who doesn't know martial arts can't become a strong person in martial arts! Awakening martial arts after a sleep, that is a legend in the storytelling.

At that moment, Yang Huaiyu took advantage of the words that his eldest brother was going to test his martial arts with himself just now: "Hehe, my little brother can't wait to try his martial arts with his eldest brother." It's just that we have to rush to Jingqiang Village later, so after we get to Jingqiang Village, the younger brother and the eldest brother will try their martial arts! ”

Zhong Hao smiled: "Well, the eldest brother also wants to see what level of his martial arts is!" Then let's try it after we get to Jingqiang Village. ”

Yang Huaiyu smiled: "Little brother is a little impatient!" ”

Zhong Hao told Yang Huaiyu about this martial arts competition, so he no longer continued this topic, but played with the Xingzhou bow.

Zhong Hao said: "Alas, now when the northwest talks about this good bow, it is the Xingzhou bow, and when it comes to a good saddle, it is the Lingzhou saddle." Now that the capital of the Great Song Dynasty is a courtyard and a prison, the things made are getting worse and worse. ”

Yang Huaiyu nodded and said, "Alas, who said it wasn't." However, recently, Chen Xianggong intends to change the position of ordnance supervisor and set up the post of ordnance supervisor to be in charge of the manufacture of weapons and armaments! The reason for this is that the bow and crossbow armor in the capital is getting worse and worse. Our western army has always been based on bows and crossbows, so as to confront the Khitan and party cavalry, and it is also known for its sharp arrow array and crossbow array. But now, the bow and crossbow are not as good as a year after year, and one batch is worse than a batch, and it is difficult to go into battle. Yang Huaiyu listened to Zhong Hao's words and couldn't help but sigh. Regarding the bows and crossbows in the Western Army, the quality is indeed getting worse and worse, and Yang Huaiyu has been in the army for a long time, and he is also deeply touched.

After listening to Yang Huaiyu's words, Zhong Hao also felt the same way and felt deeply.

In the eyes of people in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty who have never been to the borderland, this Great Song Dynasty is a big country, and the land is vast and there are many talents, how can the weapons made be worse than that of such a small country as the Western Xia, which has not yet been fully civilized? ! It's just impossible?! Before Zhong Hao came to the northwest, he also had the same view as most mainland officials and ordinary people.

But after arriving in this Hexi, I found that this thing really existed. Compared with the Western Xia people, the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty are really inferior to many places. The weapons and equipment such as the cold forging armor, the Xia sword, the divine arm bow, the Xingzhou bow, and the Lingzhou saddle made by the Western Xia Dynasty are far beyond the level of the same kind of weapons in the Great Song Dynasty. If you don't believe it, you have to believe it.

In Zhong Hao's view, this is a question of whether to pay attention to it or not. In order to gain a foothold, it is necessary to sacrifice some economic development and concentrate all its efforts on military equipment. This is similar to the strategy of some small countries in later generations, in order to resist the threat of some countries, to implement the policy of "military first" and supply armaments with limited domestic resources. In fact, it is sacrificing the people's livelihood and economy at home, and focusing on the development of the army and armaments. However, now is the era of cold weapons, and the research of this weapon is not so profound, as long as we pay attention to it and invest more, it is still relatively easy to develop some slightly more advanced weapons. It is because the army and armament of these Western Xia States are not much worse than those of the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Great Song Dynasty could really pay attention to military preparation, it might soon be able to catch up with the weapon manufacturing level of the Tangut people. It's just that the Great Song Dynasty is a civilian official, and there is a natural opposition between this military general and the army, and he has more energy and financial resources or more investment in those cultural and educational matters, and may not pay attention to the development of this weapon.

Zhong Hao is also powerless about the general trend of the imperial court, and he can't do anything in vain.

The officials and people in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty always thought that the Western Xia was a small country and a widowed people, and its combat effectiveness was not strong, while the Great Song Dynasty was vast and prosperous, so it was easy to defeat the Western Xia.

But the truth is just the opposite of what those people think, in terms of numbers, equipment, individual soldier quality and field combat ability on the Song-Xia border, it is still inferior to the Western Xia army that confronts them. Therefore, it is no wonder that in the Song and Xia wars, there were always more defeats and fewer victories.

The only thing that the Great Song Dynasty relied on was the city, as well as those forts, most of the time only in the defense of the city, can take some advantage, and it is difficult to take advantage in the field situation.

Of course, there is another advantage of a large number of people, that is, there is a sufficient supply of soldiers, and if a group dies, another batch can be transferred.

However, speaking of which, the military quality of the Western Army is very high, and it is the most capable of fighting in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army. These Western armies could not take advantage of the battles against the Tanguts, and these troops transferred from other places were naturally far from being able to compete with the Tangut armies.

In Zhong Hao's view, it is actually very unwise for a prosperous and wealthy big country to wage an armed struggle against a poor, backward but extremely impoverished country.

The so-called "barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes" probably explains the relationship between the Western Xia Kingdom and the Great Song Kingdom. A small and poor country has nothing to fear about war, anyway, their country has no prosperous place, and it is not afraid of the destruction of war at all. Therefore, they are naturally not afraid to resort to war to resolve some contradictions. And the Great Song Dynasty, a prosperous and wealthy country, could not withstand the devastation of war in many cases.

Zhong Hao felt that it was most practical to subvert and destroy Western Xia through political and economic means. For example, through means such as assassination or covert financing of one party, the Western Xia engaged in internal fighting and caused chaos within it. Or by acquiring the strategic resources of the Western Xia, dumping some luxury goods, etc., to weaken the combat power of the Western Xia. These methods are more real than the means of this force strategy.

But obviously the imperial court didn't think so, they may not or disdain to use such methods, or they have used them, and feel that these methods are not too effective, anyway, they finally chose this force strategy, which is the most difficult method.

Zhong Hao also had no way to deal with the general trend of the imperial court, so he could only obey the arrangements of the imperial court. Since the imperial court arranged for him to come to Linzhou to carry out the affairs of the Guye River Tuntian, in order to attract the Qiang and Tibetan tribes in the Hengshan area to invest and contribute to the general strategy of Hengshan, he could only obey the arrangement of the imperial court and strive to do his part well.

Zhong Hao felt that if the Western Xia did not have major civil strife and changes, it would still be difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to take advantage of the military strategy against the Western Xia. He felt that a few years ago, when Li Yuanhao, the founder of the Western Xia Kingdom, had just died, it was actually a good time for the Great Song Dynasty to go all out to attack the Western Xia by force and press the whole line, but at that time, the imperial court was occupied by the old ministers, and the officials had no determination to go to war, so they missed that opportunity in vain.

Now although the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom is young, he has not hidden the power of the Yeli family and the Shanyu family, and now the power is in his hands, the domestic situation in the Western Xia is stable, and the Great Song Dynasty wants to exert his strength at this time, and there is not much time and place.

In Zhong Hao's cognition, the vitality of the historical Western Xia is still very tenacious, although it is much weaker than the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, but the sudden rise and invincible Dajin ** team destroyed the Great Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, which were much stronger than the Western Xia, but could not destroy the Western Xia. It wasn't until it encountered the invincible and more perverted Mengyuan Empire that it was destroyed at about the same time as the Jin Kingdom.

However, speaking of which, the Great Song Dynasty was not completely without a chance to destroy Western Xia. In the fourth year of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song army was led by Tong Guan and the Seed Master Dao, and defeated the Western Xia army in the ancient bone dragon, and in the first year of Xuanhe, it conquered the land of the Hengshan Mountain in the Western Xia, and the Western Xia lost the barrier and faced the danger of losing the country, forcing the Western Xia Chongzong to surrender to the Song Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that the Jin Kingdom went south to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, and there was no time to take care of the Western Xia, maybe the Western Xia would have been destroyed.

Of course, this is all history in the past, and I don't know if anything will happen now! Zhong Hao didn't know if his little butterfly came to this time and space that should have been read in the pile of old papers, would it cause some butterfly effect and change the wheel of history?!

All this is unknown, so Zhong Hao has no accurate view of the struggle between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia. Of course, Zhong Hao hoped that the Great Song Dynasty could defeat the Western Xia and regain the land that should have belonged to the Han family. If there is this land, the history of the Great Song Dynasty will also be rewritten. These dangerous terrains, excellent war horses, and soldiers who are good at riding and archery, when facing the Liao State and even the Jin State in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not be as tragic as in history! 2k reading web
