Chapter 11 Boys Intersect, Reserve Cavalry
Early in the morning of the third day, when it was still midday, the racecourse was still surrounded by nearly 100 people inside and outside. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone wants to know the outcome of Tian Jing and Gongsun Continuation, this crucial game. Gongsun Zhan also heard the news of his son's competition with Tian Jing in the past two days, although he did not come in person, he also sent his henchmen and soldiers to fight on the spot, so that he could report to him at any time.
Tian Jing didn't seem to be in good spirits today, because he practiced marksmanship with Zhao Yun before dawn, and just wanted to sleep a little back, but he didn't expect to be woken up by the onlookers who came to watch. After Gongsun continued to win yesterday, he wanted to make a big deal and convince Tian Jing to lose today, but last night's old words made him a little undecided.
Zhao Yun saw that Tian Jing and Gongsun Xu were all present, and raised his voice, "I competed with fists and feet the day before yesterday, and I competed with marksmanship yesterday. ”
Gongsun Xu thought to himself, the skills in the army are nothing more than fists and feet, weapons, horse battles, horse shooting, and horse shooting, Tian Jing's three shots in battle were personally praised by Gongsun Zhan, and he may not be able to defeat him; Ma Zhan himself relied on the marksmanship handed down by the Gongsun family to defeat Tian Jing, but I don't know if the old words yesterday were true or false, if he really hurt Tian Jing, he would have missed a big deal. How is this good? Yes, Gongsun Xu suddenly had an idea, "Tian Jing was fighting with each other that day because this son wanted to tame a group of fierce horses, who would have thought that you, a slave, would make a fool of yourself and make a fool of yourself." How are we better at taming horses today? ”
"Horse taming?" Tian Jing didn't expect Gongsun Xu to be so generous.
"Yes, there are many wild horses in the horse farm that Karasuma Xianbei sacrificed, today you and I go to the horse farm, each choose a fierce horse, no saddle bridle, no horse whip, tamed with bare hands, and then go out of the city ten miles of pavilion, carve a word on the pavilion pillar as a mark, and then ride the horse back to the city, the first to the horse farm wins. What do you think? Gongsun continued,
"That's a good idea. Tian is rightly accompanied. Tian Jing replied. Although he has never tried to train a horse, Tian Jing feels that this way of racing is both interesting and fresh, and the key is that the victory or defeat of this last competition will not hurt the peace.
Zhao Yun saw that both of them agreed to tame the wild horses as a competition, and immediately arranged for others.
After a while, Zhao Yun said that he started, and Tian Jing and Gongsun Xu went to choose horses. This may seem simple, but it's actually difficult. Because not only must it be tamed, but also depends on the horse's foot strength, because ten miles outside the city, one back and forth is twenty miles, and the speed of twenty miles is compared to the explosive power of the horse, and it is necessary to choose a horse suitable for short sprints.
Bole Xiangma Jing Zeng Yun, "Horses are born, feet fall to the ground, hairless, and travel thousands of miles." Raise your urine and travel a thousand miles. Those who erect tendons, thousands of miles. The horse's knee is like a ball, a thousand miles. The horse is one year old, with twenty upper and lower teeth, four years old, with yellow teeth, and thirty-three years old, with white teeth. The horse's head is king, and he wants to get it. The eye is the prime minister, and he wants to be clear. The spine is a general, and he wants to be strong. The belly is the outline of the city, and it wants to be opened. Four orders are given. The head wants to grow. The eyes want to be high, the eyes want to be like hanging bells, purple light, and the hanging silkworms and hanging chisels under the eyes want to be successful. The nostrils want to be big, and the tip of the nose wants to have the word king and fire. The mouth is red. The knee bones want to be round and open. The ears want to be close and erect, small and thick. Fu Keel wants to succeed. The neck wants to be long. The double desire is big and abrupt. The hoof wants to be thick. The abdomen wants to be flat, and there are eight characters. The tail wants to be high and hanging. ”
The above is the standard of thousands of horses, but Gongsun Xu and Tian Jing do not have such a fire, Gongsun Xu chose horses, and chose bright eyes, large nostrils, thick hooves, and flat abdomen, which was taught by his father when he was very young. Gongsun continued to pick a tall green horse, the way to tame is a "boil" word, that is, to grab the horse's mane with both hands, and fight against it, hard consumption, you are stronger than you, until the horse has no strength to struggle, recognize the master, then it will be successful.
Tian Jing's face is more like a daughter-in-law, looking at the edge of the eyes. As if winning or losing this race didn't matter to him, Tian Jing took a leisurely stroll in the middle of the racecourse and chose a jujube red horse that didn't look very outstanding. Then he completely ignored the grandson's desperate efforts to tame the wild horse, but talked to this jujube red horse.
In fact, Tian Jing didn't know how to talk to horses, but he had slept with war horses in the stable for a month, and he could be said to know the habits of horses very well. This communication with the horse obviously had an effect, and Tian Jing didn't wait for the horse to understand, so he turned over and got on the horse's back. Then there are a few horse neighing and snorting sounds in the horse's ear. The horse seemed to understand Tian Jing's words, and ran out as if flying.
Seeing Tian Jing's horse running out, Gongsun Xu was also very anxious in his heart. After a while, its green horse was finally tamed. Gongsun Xu clamped the horse's belly between his legs, galloped his horse, and chased Tian Jing.
Ten miles outside the city, not big, mostly for the use of sending guests to practice. When Gongsun continued to arrive, Tian Jing had already arrived first. Gongsun continued to dismount and was about to write on the pavilion as proof. I didn't want to, but I saw the words inscribed by Tian Jing on the wall of the pavilion.
Those four words are very clear, and they are written in four big words: "The stars will rise".
Gongsun Xu's pen in his hand couldn't move. Thinking of what Lao Dao said yesterday, could it be that the person who assisted him was really Tian Jing.
Gongsun continued to hesitate, but Tian Jing walked over and hugged his fists, "Yesterday, an immortal chief once enlightened me in a dream, saying that Gongsun Gongzi is the heavenly general and the star nether realm, and he needs someone to assist. Tian Jing is not talented, and he originally offered a plan for his son. If Gongzi thinks that Tian's plan is suitable, and is willing to serve Tian Jing under Gongzi, Tian Jing will be broken and will not give up. ”
After Tian Jing finished speaking, Gongsun continued to be beautiful in his heart, it turned out that what the old Tao said yesterday was really true, otherwise this Tian Jing was still my enemy a few days ago, and today he took the initiative to assist me, haha. Although he was happy in his heart, he remained silent on his lips, "What do you have to say, let's hear it first?" ”
Tian Jing said, "Now Youzhou is in the hands of Lord Gongsun, and Gongzi will be the lord of Youzhou sooner or later, but Gongzi is young in the year, and he wants to serve in the army several times but cannot." It must be known that the world is obtained immediately, the son does not cultivate military equipment, and has no military exploits, how can he make the generals of Youzhou admire in the future, and how can he command Youzhou. Tian's plan is called 'taking precautions and confusing the real with the false'. Childe can know the battle of Jieqiao, how many Bai Ma Yicong died in the battle? Roughly calculated, there were more than 2,000 people, plus the number of other troops killed, at least 20,000. Many of these people are old people who have followed General Gongsun for many years, running from place to place, and fighting in the north and south. Many of their children are also the same age as their sons. These people died, and their descendants not only had no support, but also no chance to serve in the army for Gongsun. If Childe can organize these orphans of righteous obedience, he can get nearly a thousand people, to say the least. They are all children who have learned to ride and shoot freely, and they are easier to train than ordinary people. The most important thing is that they are the people selected by Childe, they train and grow together with Childe, and in the future, they will only listen to Childe's orders, and it is much easier to control these people than to control the generals under Gongsun. These more than 1,000 people will be the strength and capital in the hands of Gongzi in the future. ”
After hearing this, Gongsun continued to pat his thigh, "Why didn't I think of it." But this is a good idea, but how to get my father to agree? ”
Tian Jing thought for a while and said, "It's definitely not okay to say it directly." However, last time, Bai Ma Yicong suffered too many casualties, and it really took a lot of effort to replenish the troops later. Not only that, but the training of a qualified cavalryman is absolutely not possible without three, five, or even ten years of effort. Although the current White Horse Yicong trains rigorously every day, the difference between the previous veterans is heaven and earth. Childe can enter the words, choose the righteous from the orphan to learn the bow and horse from a young age, the outstanding martial arts of the boy as the 'reserve righteous cavalry', trained from an early age, the future will be able to serve the grandson, is the so-called rainy day. Moreover, these children are young, and they don't need to be paid, they just need to be fed, and the cost of one person is only less than a quarter of that of the white horse. And after training, they can also complete the tasks of scouts. ”
Gongsun continued, "That's very good, but what is the matter with what you say is false? ”
Tian Jing smiled and said, "Is this true, that is, as long as General Gongsun agrees to form a reserve cavalry, then the ordnance, horses, grain and grass will be supplied on time, and the army will be ruled by Gongzi alone, when the time comes, this is the false servant of the reserve, or the true servant of Major General Gongsun, how can outsiders know." If Gongzi is willing, he will take the position of cavalry captain, and then divide Liu Yong, Li Kang, and Le Ping, and in the military camp of more than 1,000 people, it is not the world of the young general. If General Gongsun asked, he only said that for the sake of convenient management, he would give him a random name, and also for the sake of these children in the future to understand the official positions and orders in the army. If outsiders ask, they will use the name of the cavalry captain, but they will see who is not convinced. ”
After listening to this, Gongsun continued to laugh, "Good plan, good plan, Tian Jing, you are my Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang." You can stay with me and listen to it from now on. If I lead the cavalry, I will appoint you with individual commanders. ”
Tian Jing clenched his fists and saluted, "Thank you so much for the young general." There is another thing, which is very important, this reserve cavalry, if you want to form combat effectiveness, training must be indispensable in peacetime. Then the person who trains must be skilled in bows and horses, strong in martial arts, familiar with the battle formation, good at training, and Tian Jing Guanzhi, only Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong can do this. ”
Gongsun continued, "This is reasonable, and I will report to my father when I go back in a while." You'll be busy when the time comes. This matter is decided, and our competition today will continue, and others in the province will see the flaws. After a while, you and I will take out real skills to compete with confidence, if you win, I will lose a hundred taels of silver with you; If you lose, the matter of a hundred lashes will be stopped. After Gongsun continued, he turned over and got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and let the horse gallop away.
Tian Jing did not show weakness, turned over the jujube red horse, galloped on the horse, and his whole person lay on the horse's back, as light as nothing. The horse was also aroused to be competitive, four hooves into the air, seeing that when they were about to reach the racecourse, they could catch up with Gongsun Xu's green horse, and finally rushed into the horse farm one horse ahead of Gongsun Xu at the last moment.
Tian Jing won, and Gongsun Xu gave one hundred taels of silver as promised, and he didn't lose his temper or make a big fuss. This was unexpected by Zhao Yun and other onlookers. Gongsun Chan's side had already come back to report the competition, and Gongsun Chan knew his son's character best, but he also wondered in his heart.
After a while, a pro-soldier came in to report, and Gongzi Gongsun continued to ask to see. Gongsun Chan let Gongsun continue to come in, and he really couldn't see the angry and angry look on his face, "What's the matter with Wu'er?" ”
Gongsun continued to have the rhetoric taught by Tian Jing before, and he had already prepared a draft, and he told in detail about the preparation of the reserve cavalry, sharing worries for his father, and raising troops for Youzhou.
This said, Gongsun Zhan's vision of his son is a little different, it seems that his son is mature. Victory is not arrogant or defeated, the key is to learn to think, and to be able to think about yourself as a father.
Gongsun Chan said, "In that case, my son can do it with confidence." The armament, horses, grain and grass of this reserve white horse are all prepared for the father. As for the number of people, it doesn't need to be too much, let's take five hundred people first. But since you put forward the idea, then the recruitment will be left to you. If it is less than five hundred, then you will take the people you recruit first, and the rest will be slowly filled in the future; If there are more than 500 people, the extra is counted as your personal guard. However, the recruited people must be able to ride horses, have a certain foundation in martial arts, and those who are physically unqualified are not counted, do you have confidence? ”
"Order! The father can rest assured that the child will do this well. After Gongsun continued to say this, he bowed down, withdrew from the hall, and went to prepare.
