Chapter 123: Cavalry Training
Li Ru said leisurely: "Wen Yuan has begged Confucianism many times to find a family for him, and now there is a woman who is just right, this woman is dignified and beautiful, which can not only round Wen Yuan's heart, but also make him have to rely on Xiangguo."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo was really taken aback when he heard Li Ru say that there was such a woman: "But what kind of woman can have this ability?" He squinted his eyes, his heart couldn't help but move, and glanced at Li Ru, if there is really such a dignified and beautiful woman, why give it to Zhang Liao, and then accept it himself.
"Yes......" Li Ru attached to Dong Zhuo's ear and whispered a name.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face couldn't help but change slightly, then he frowned, and shook his head again and again again: "No, no, this woman has an enmity with the old man, if she is given to Wen Yuan, she will let Wen Yuan harm the old man." ”
Li Ru said disappreciatively: "A weak woman, why should Xiangguo worry too much, let alone being an enemy of Xiangguo for her ex-husband, how could Wen Yuan do it?" Wen Yuan has always been assertive, how could he listen to the woman's words? ”
"No, no." Dong Zhuo still shook his head: "There are many women in the palace, it is better to ask Xun to marry a daughter to Wen Yuan." ”
"How can other women take their place?" Li Ru's eyes rolled and said: "Xiangguo, don't forget that the key is her special identity, the concubine of King Hongnong, the thieves of the Kanto region respect the king of Hongnong as the son of heaven, Wen Yuan married her, the thieves of the Kanto region will be revenged, and Wen Yuan has to rely on Xiang Guoye, which is really more beneficial than disadvantageous." ”
Dong Zhuo was slightly moved by what Li Ru said, and suddenly remembered something, and then said: "It's just that her patriarch Tang Xuan had a favor with the old man when he was the captain of Huya in the past, so the old man did not taste the difficulty, otherwise she would have been executed together with King Hongnong." Some time ago, Tang Xuan's son came to plead with the old man, and the old man had promised to send her back to her hometown. ”
Li Ru stroked her beard and smiled: "She is the princess of the king, her identity is special, if she returns to her hometown, it will be difficult to remarry for the rest of her life, and Wen Yuan is a hero, and she will be able to rise to the top if she is reused by Xiangguo, and she will not yield to her. Wouldn't it be possible to repay the old favor and win the heart of a good general? ”
"This ......" Dong Zhuo was greatly moved and groaned.
If Zhang Liao was here, he would definitely scold Li Ru when he heard Li Ru's words, he was joking with Li Ru, but he didn't expect Li Ru to really find him a family affair, and he was calculating his family affairs!
Of course, what Zhang Liao didn't know was that it was precisely because he often joked about "thinking" about Li Ru's baby daughter that he forced Li Ru to jump off the wall in a hurry, and he really wanted to find a family affair for him.
This should be self-inflicted.
……
Xiaopingjin Pass, Zhang Liao is still training his cavalry with one mind, a cavalry from the beginning of training to be able to barely go to the battlefield, it takes at least half a year, and to become an elite cavalry, it takes at least more than a year of training.
Fortunately, Zhang Liao originally led the cavalry in Bingzhou, and had experience in training cavalry to fight, and in addition to the 500 cavalry under his command, most of the rest of the recruits were also from Bingzhou and Hebei, and they were quite familiar with war horses, and had the foundation of training into cavalry.
But even then, the training of cavalry was not achieved overnight.
To train cavalry, the first thing is to tame the war horse, fortunately, the more than 3,000 war horses he got are the mounts of the cavalry under Hu Zhen and Yuan Shao, which are trained and trained war horses, not wild horses, become tame, sensitive, able to approach people, and withstand the stimulation of war drums, ringing gold, roaring, etc., which saves him a lot of effort, and the rest is to let the soldiers stay close to their war horses, often give the horses caresses, relieve itching, feed water, add forage, wash and scrub, etc., and promote the emotions between people and horses. Make the war horse better able to accept the command of the knight.
After taming the war horse, the next thing is the comprehensive training of the cavalry, Zhang Liao's first requirement is to be agile, so the knight must first do a good job of getting on and off the horse, to do it without stepping on the stirrup, jumping and riding up, getting off the horse without stepping on the horse, - jumping down, and only need to jump to transfer with each other. As long as you are so agile, you can respond quickly in cavalry combat.
Do a good job of getting on and off the horse, and then very stable riding and control of the horse, the actions include lying down, turning left, turning right, forward, backward, accelerating, slowing down, etc., so that in the future in the riding war can cross the moat, climb the hills, risk resistance, absolute Daze, gallop strong enemy, chaos the crowd without falling off the horse.
After the training of horse control, it is time to train in cavalry, including archery and galloping, that is, long-range strikes with bows and arrows and melee combat with spears. The most basic requirement of cavalry warfare is to move freely on the horse, followed by the ability to draw the bow and shoot arrows, the ability to swing the weapon quickly and accurately and fiercely, and the ability to safely dodge or block the enemy's weapons, which is much more difficult than the infantry to exercise the bow and fight.
Because infantry combat is down-to-earth, stable foundation, easy to exert force, and high accuracy, while cavalry is attacking in the gallop of war horses, on the back of war horses, not only the accuracy of attack is reduced, but also it is difficult to achieve full body coordination and exert strength. This step is extremely difficult and requires hard practice.
Finally, the cavalry battle formation training, the battle formation must at least be able to respond to the enemy's changes in a timely manner, be able to unify to the left, right, and back without chaotic formation, deal with the enemy's flank or rear raids, and be able to achieve the distance and near coordination of cavalry archery and cavalry combat, etc., which is more difficult.
Therefore, there is still a long way to go for the training of cavalry, but although Zhang Liao is anxious but not anxious, his cavalry training is naturally much later than Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou soldiers, Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers and Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou soldiers, but much earlier than the Kwantung princes.
In addition to training, after Zhang Liao and Jia Xu discussed, they formulated the method of "the most important in the classroom", the so-called class is the assessment, the hall is inferior, the most superior, and the most important is the test of the best. The training of both cavalry and infantry should be held regularly every month in the unit of Quhe Division, and the winners and winners should be rewarded and those who failed to pass should be punished, so as to motivate the soldiers to train.
After Zhang Liao finished his cavalry and archery training every day, he returned to Yin's small courtyard, he had already handed over his small courtyard to a few military marquis to live in, and bought a few small courtyards for Gao Shun, Zhang He and Han Hao and other generals to live in.
Yin was very happy to see him come back, and a few orchids from Xiaocui and Su Wu helped cook, which made Zhang Liao's life very comfortable.
Since Yin's assassination by Wang Fang and her exhaustion and cold, now that her body has not fully recovered, Zhang Liao has taken good care of her, and she dare not let her have the slightest accident. In Zuo Ci's words, if there is a little more accident, the child in Yin's womb will be difficult to protect.
Yuan Shao was defeated, and now there is no war in a short period of time, plus the villain Wang Fang has been killed by him, Xiao Pingjin can be described as a harmony, although the training is hard, but Zhang Liao's body and mind are relaxed a lot, every day back to Yin's here, there are talking and laughing, his witty words often make Yin's laughter, plus the straightforward and enthusiastic Su Wu often comes to accompany her, so that Yin's grief for He Xian's death has unconsciously reduced a lot, and the sorrow on his face has also gone a lot, and the whole person is cheerful, and his face is even more radiant, which makes Su Wu also envious.
However, such a close residence, coupled with Zhang Liao's careful care of Yin's family, it is inevitable that there will be some ear and sideburns with Yin's daily life, the hearts of the two are slowly getting closer, and the relationship is slowly heating up, Yin's feelings for Zhang Liao are no longer simply grateful, and Zhang Liao also likes this warm and wonderful life.
On this day, Zhang Liao had just returned to Yin's small courtyard, and suddenly a soldier came over, saying that it was Jia Xu's call. Zhang Liao was a little puzzled, but he didn't slack off, and hurried to Jia Xu's residence.
