Chapter 442 Zhao Yun's suggestion
Sure enough, as Zang Ba expected, in just over thirty rounds, Fan Cai was already physically exhausted; And Zhao Yun still didn't change his face, didn't pant for breath, easily resisted, and defended with ease.
Guan Hai was ready to stop and participate in the competition at any time, and his steel needle-like beard trembled with excitement.
Zang Ba stopped Fan Cai in time, not wanting him to be ugly; However, even ordinary cavalry can see that Fan Cai is not Zhao Yun's opponent, and he is about to be defeated.
Fan Cai retreated, but he was not angry.
Guan Hai's martial arts are the highest among several people, and he is a few years older than Zhao Yun, just when he is in the prime of life, he is extremely confident in himself, and his desire to fight with masters makes him itch in his heart, and after Fan Cai retreated, he immediately slapped his horse forward.
Guan Hai had already seen that Zhao Yun wanted to use the competition as a practice, so he didn't say anything more, and when he came up, he waved the big knife and attacked violently.
The two also no longer count the number of rounds, but engage in melee combat, and the melee shots are faster and more intense.
Guan Hai has a very good attitude towards the soldiers, he has a lot of prestige in the army, and he is very loved by the soldiers.
Zang Ba was very disappointed with Guan Hai's onslaught, in this case he was still not Zhao Yun's opponent; Zhao Yun is a skill-based general, which is relatively labor-saving and easy to fight for a long time.
Guan Hai's big knife flew up and down, extremely fast, and Zhao Yun was a little in a hurry to kill, but Zhao Yun was happy in his heart, he also hoped to fight with the master, so that he could practice his marksmanship and improve his skills.
So Zhao Yun's spirit was greatly lifted, dancing the gentian bright silver gun, and the hundred birds were stacked with the phoenix marksmanship, blocking, taking, sliding, piercing, teasing, picking, hanging, smashing and splitting the gun, sweeping the gun, etc., with coherent shots, agile movements, strong and powerful, brave and vigorous, and both expressions; Adapting to Guan Hai's offensive rhythm, Zhao Yun became more and more comfortable with the fight.
Only then did Zhao Yun exert his normal strength; The exquisite marksmanship opened the eyes of Zang Ba and others, Cheng Zhi and Fan Cai were dumbfounded, and felt that they were not unjustly defeated, it turned out that when they fought against Zhao Yun, they only practiced with them, and they did not use all their strength at all; Even the officers and soldiers around were also addicted to this wonderful battle.
After about thirty rounds, Guan Hai's offensive still did not slow down; Zang Ba secretly said in his heart, not only did he hide his strength, it turned out that Guan Hai had been hiding and not revealing it, and he didn't try his best when he was fighting.
After fifty rounds, Guan Hai's attack slowed down slightly, and he began to focus on defense, but the sword technique was still not chaotic, and while everyone praised Zhao Yun, they also sighed that Guan Hai's martial arts should not be underestimated.
Zhao Yun learned the Hundred Birds Chaohuang marksmanship, but he has never had the opportunity to fight, and he can't exert the greatest combat effectiveness by close competition, and he is still in the growth period, paying more attention to practice, otherwise, with the combat power at the peak of his history, it is not difficult to kill Guan Hai.
In a hundred rounds, Guan Hai was tired, Zhao Yun was tired, and even the war horse under him was tired, Zhao Yun shook a shot, forced Guan Hai to retreat, took the reins of the horse, jumped out of the battle, and signaled Guan Hai to stop fighting, he didn't want to make Guan Hai ugly and affect the future relationship.
Zhao Yun smiled: "Hahaha, it's fun!" ”
Guan Hai knew that this was Zhao Yun saving face for him, so he could only smile and say: "It's still Zhao Taishou who is powerful, and Hai is ashamed." ”
"Haha, Guan Zhonglang doesn't need to be humble, there is a shortage of war horses, let's fight again tomorrow." finally met an evenly matched opponent, Zhao Yun didn't want to miss it, it happened that he was okay these days, so he took Guan Hai to practice; Using the fatigue of the war horse as an excuse is to give Guan Hai steps.
Zhao Yun's goal has been achieved, and his bravery has been recognized by the officers and soldiers.
Zang Ba also secretly shouted that he was lucky, he didn't have to fight with Zhao Yun, otherwise he would not be able to win, and it would be even more embarrassing if he failed.
Zhao Yun returned to the state pastor's mansion satisfied, and after taking a bath and changing clothes, he swept away the fatigue just now.
After dinner, Gao Shun informed Zhao Yun and sent him 2,400 cavalry guards and 2,500 infantry guards.
The 2,400 cavalry escort included the senior cavalry of the Situn and the junior cavalry of the four parts; The infantry is divided into one tun of senior cavalry and four tun of junior infantry.
Zhao Yun was very grateful to Gao Shun for his attention and care, and Gao Feng was also very happy, he was afraid that Zhao Yun would be in danger, and the more troops he had in the army, the safer he would be.
Subsequently, Zhao Yun asked Gao Shun puzzled: "Brother in-law, why are the Zhonglang generals in Liangzhou all simple-minded people?" ”
"Why?"
Zhao Yun said with emotion: "Brother in-law, this Fan Cai, Cheng Zhi and Guan Hai are not like people who are both wise and brave. ”
"And how do you feel about the announcement?"
Zhao Yun said: "Zang Ba's prestige is quite high, and he doesn't know how to do martial arts, but he feels more like a civil official." ”
Zhou Fei was on the side, listening to this topic and being very interested, Zang Ba was born as a bandit, Guan Hai started from the army, Cheng Zhi and Fan Cai are the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, more than brave, not resourceful enough, the overall quality is not high, it is difficult to be alone; Only Zhonglang General Lu Yi is still a person who is both civil and military, but because of his arrogance and discord with his colleagues, he was frustrated and arranged for him to be stationed in Ji County to resist Qianghu and the rebels and give full play to his strengths; As for Sima Yushan (Yu Poison), who is stationed in Chencang (Baoji), he is also the commander of the Yellow Turban, and according to his ability, he will be promoted to the top of the Zhonglang General, and there is not much room for growth.
Under the instruction of Gao Shun, Yu Shan (Yu Poison) has been promoted from military Sima to Sima of other departments after a short period of training, reducing the gap between him and Fan Cai and others; And let him lead the troops to guard the extremely important Chen Cangcheng, which is also a training and trust in him.
Gao Shun said with a smile: "Haha, Zilong is bad, Xuan Gao is definitely a person who is both wise and brave, with a little exercise, he will definitely be able to take charge in the future." As for the others, they are indeed more than brave and resourceful, so they arranged for them to be stationed in Chang'an City, and they only need to carry out orders, and they will never dare to let them stand alone. Chang'an City is the focus of the defense of the west, and its strategic position is extremely critical, not only to guard against the Qianghu and rebels in the west, but also to guard against Dong Zhuo's sneak attack, so it is stationed so many strong soldiers. ”
Zhou Fei understood Gao Shun's purpose, Chang'an City was not lost, and Liangzhou was not lost.
Zhao Yun let go of this question and asked again: "Brother in-law, the Zhonglang General is a very high official position, even if Dong Zhuo is under him, there are only five Zhonglang generals, why do we arrange three or six Zhonglang generals in each state?" And each lieutenant general only has about 10,000 officers and soldiers, and the proficiency is too little, so it is better to be named a captain in line with his identity. ”
Gao Shun explained: "Haha, first of all, this is a training for all officers, and who can stand out after that depends on the individual's ability; Second, in order to facilitate the expansion of the army in the future, there is a structure, and the shelves are erected, and when the army is expanded, it can be directly filled with officers and soldiers. ”
Zhou Fei said: "The lord is right, thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find, this is a good way to train officers." ”
Zhao Yun pondered for a while and then suggested: "Brother in-law, if this is the case, Yun feels that the troops of Bingzhou and Anzhou are too scattered, especially the merger, the troops are scattered all over the place, which is a waste of troops and generals, and the logistics are not easy to supply, so it is better to concentrate all of them in Taiyuan County; First, Taiyuan County has a strong military force, which can deter the Quartet, and it is also good for the stability of Anzhou and Liangzhou; secondly, Taiyuan County is in the center, which is convenient to support the Quartet; Similarly, it is better for all the garrisons in Anzhou to be transferred to Mayi City, so that the logistics supply will be convenient and the deterrent effect will be greater. ”
As early as when he was in Anzhou, Zhao Yun noticed this problem and had been puzzled, and this time when he mentioned the garrison of Chang'an City, he took the opportunity to consult Gao Shun.
Lu Su also put forward this suggestion before, Gao Shun explained: "The main thing is that the strength is limited now, even if the army is assembled, there are still certain officers and soldiers stationed in various places to maintain local order, so that more officers and soldiers are needed. At the same time, it is convenient to train officers' command level and ability to deal with emergencies; If Zilong can ask such a question, he already has the ability to take charge on his own, and hopes to try his best to open up the situation in Wudu County and train a strong army that can fight well. ”
What Gao Shun didn't say was that this would reduce the hostility between Dong Zhuo and the Central Plains princes, otherwise it would put too much military pressure on him; Gao Shun didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Dong Zhuo and the princes of the Central Plains now, so he didn't take Zhao Yun's suggestion for the time being.
However, Zhao Yun can have this suggestion, which still makes Gao Shun very satisfied, at least Zhao Yun is good at thinking, can find existing problems in time, and proves his ability, in this way, he will definitely be able to make a career in Wudu County and live up to his hard work.
"Yes, brother-in-law, the clouds will never live up to their trust!" Zhao Yun immediately promised.
Zhao Yun was praised by Gao Shun, and Gao Feng also felt very happy, even happier than she was praised.
