Chapter 103: Knight of the He Clan

As the sun sank in the west, the twilight gradually dispersed in the vast heaven and earth.

After Tang Jing left, He Tengxiao thought that after processing today's official documents, he could have a good night's rest and leave for Gaizhou tomorrow.

Busy days are fulfilling, but also tired, and the greatest enjoyment after being busy is to get a good night's sleep.

He Tengxiao lay on the desk, planning to take a nap in the lobby for a while, and then go to bed after dinner was cooked.

At this time, a rush of footsteps shattered He Tengxiao's dream.

The person who came in was Chang Qing, He Teng squinted his eyes and raised his head, his face full of tiredness: "Chang Qing, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"General Yu, more than 100 horsemen have come from Fuzhou." Evergreen arched his hand.

"Fuzhou ......," He Tengxiao muttered.

Before He Fangxiong left, he asked He Tengxiao what he wanted, and he would try his best to meet He Tengxiao's request. He Tengxiao spit out three words of silver, horses, and grain at that time. The silver and horses He Tengxiao just talked about it, and he didn't expect He Fangxiong to allocate him silver and horses.

The He family is also short of silver, and although the He family's private soldiers are not as serious as the town army, they still owe military salaries more or less. Not to mention horses, after the middle of the empire, the national strength was sluggish, and the only few high-quality horse sources were lost one after another, and war horses became a scarce resource. After the peace negotiation and Meng Gu fell out, the war horse was even more rare. He Tengxiao didn't expect the He family to allocate him war horses, and besides, the focus of his rebuilding Xiao cavalry camp was not on the cavalry, but on the infantry, and it was enough to maintain a small number of cavalry as scouts and detectives, and to pass on clerical military orders. With the financial resources and strength of He Tengxiao's current situation, he has not yet had the ability to form a battalion of pure cavalry.

"Let's go, we'll see." He Teng got up with a strong spirit.

"General, the hundred households of this cavalry are Zhou Shi." Chang Qing reminded He Tengxiao.

Zhou Shi, this name He Tengxiao is a little familiar, but he can't remember who this Zhou Shi is for a while.

"The Zhou family has two brothers, the eldest son Zhou Shi and the second son Zhou Mu, both of whom are people trusted by Wu'an Gongji."

He Tengxiao patted his head, and he suddenly realized.

He Fangxiong had two cavalry of the Hundred Households, although the cavalry of these two Hundred Households was not many in number, but they were definitely no less than the cavalry of the Manshu King's tent soldiers. The combat power is even higher than the original cavalry battalion, and the knights of these two hundred household teams are not only Han Chinese, but also barbarian knights who are good at riding and shooting. He Fangxiong went out to conquer Menggu in his prime, and Menggu at that time was not as weak as it is today, at that time, the Manshu tribe was able to rise Ni Duan, and the Menggu tribe was still recognized by the government and the opposition as the greatest threat to the empire.

He Fangxiong once pursued the defeated soldiers of Menggu alone, went deep into the hinterland of the desert for thousands of miles, and was surrounded by the gathered three thousand Menggu light cavalry, and He Fangxiong only had the cavalry of these two hundred households by his side. The horn of the Meng ancients charging sounded on the grassland, and the hungry wolves pounced on the knights of the two hundred households.

This was supposed to be a war of annihilation without suspense, but the ending surprised everyone. In "The Art of War": ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice. The military rules did not apply to this cavalry, which consisted of only two hundreds. The ancient cavalry of the Meng people had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and the number was ten times that of this cavalry. In the end, it was defeated by this small cavalry in a grand manner, not only defeated, but also defeated. The three thousand light horsemen of Menggu were beheaded more than 1,000 levels and chased for 500 miles. He Fangxiong was also famous for this battle of winning more with less, and was crowned with the title of the first great general in Liaodong.

Later, Zhou Xian, an officer of this cavalry team, fell seriously ill and died, and He Fangxiong wept bitterly for a day and a night. Zhou Xian's position was succeeded by his two sons, Zhou Shi and Zhou Mu, whom the people of the He family in Sanzhou used to call Zhou Shi and Zhou Mutou. It is said that the two brothers were as brave as their father, a stubborn man like a stone, and an elm head, both of whom were brave and unscrupulous.

He Fangxiong actually sent one of his personal soldiers to He Tengxiao's Xiao Cavalry Battalion, was it to spy on He Tengxiao or simply expand the Xiao Cavalry Battalion?

He Tengxiao thought about this question as he walked, and always felt that it was a combination of both. said that he was sent to monitor He Tengxiao, Zhou Shi was as stubborn as a stone, and he didn't have any city government, so he was not a suitable person to spy on He Tengxiao. said that it was purely to expand the Xiao Cavalry Camp, but He Fangxiong, an old man, was not simple at all......

When they arrived at the gate of the fort, they saw that the dust was flying, and in the smoke, the vigorous figures of knights flashed with the sound of heavy and powerful horses' hooves stepping on the ground. If Chang Qing hadn't told He Tengxiao in advance that it was only a cavalry of the Hundred Households Team that came, He Tengxiao would never believe that there was only one cavalry of the Hundred Households Team in front of him. The momentum displayed by these more than 100 horsemen was not inferior to that of a cavalry of a thousand households.

He Tengxiao was wearing the official uniform of the four-rank battalion general of the leopard complement today, and it was impossible for Zhou Shi not to recognize He Tengxiao. When He Tengxiao arrived at the gate of the fort, Zhou Shi had no intention of stopping, and continued to show off the superb riding skills of this cavalry.

Chang Qingtie blushed: Zhou Shi, the battalion general continued to gallop when he arrived, and he didn't take He Tengxiao in his eyes at all, which was really rude. Wu Angong's personal soldiers are amazing? Can you see no one?

He Tengxiao didn't care at all, and smiled and motioned to the guards standing around him to sit down. A few cautious guards, hands pressed on the hilts of their swords, seemed to be on guard against the cavalry.

"Sit down, it's all your own family, appreciate and appreciate the riding skills of Wu'an's guards."

He Tengxiao sat on the ground with his robe lifted, and he didn't care about the dust on the ground staining the new official robe.

Even if Zhou Shi was sent by He Fangxiong to monitor him, with such a move on Thursday, He Tengxiao felt very relieved, and even a little happy. Zhou Shi's flaunting of his riding skills in front of him was just a competitive performance. Such a person is straight, has no city government, and does not have much scheming.

The empty sky, like the remnant sun of blood, the endless wilderness.

It is not intended to be pleasant to enjoy equestrianism in such a situation, and more importantly, it is a door-to-door performance, and there is no need for a ticket. He Tengxiao was a little annoyed, he didn't bring wine, it would be more comfortable if he had wine to help him.

I have to admit that these knights are indeed very skilled in equestrianism. He Tengxiao, who used to be a hundred households in the Xiao cavalry camp, is also proficient in riding and archery, and the equestrian skills of these knights are not much worse than He Tengxiao. Especially Zhou Shi, as if he was glued to the back of a horse, such a skill is not to mention in the Zhao army, even in the Liao army, I am afraid that there are few of them.

The most skilled cavalry in the Xiao cavalry battalion now is Ling Feng, followed by He Tengxiao. As for Zhang Yuyang, the horse-down fighting is indeed stronger than Ling Fenglai, but after all, Zhang Yuyang grew up in Zhejiang since he was a child, and the archery is naturally not as good as the northland knights who fight all year round. Zhou Shi's riding skills seemed to be a few points more superb than Ling Feng.

He Tengxiao sat leisurely on the ground and watched Zhou Shi show off his riding skills, which surprised Zhou Shi.

Although Zhou Shi's official rank is only one hundred households, Zhou Shi is He Fangxiong's trusted personal follower. The ordinary thousands of households in the three states of Gai Fu Jin nodded and flattered when they saw it. Zhou Shi was sent to Pingshan Fort by He Fangxiong and assigned to the establishment of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although the reputation of the Xiao Cavalry Camp is resounding, there is the prestige of being a relative by the side of Wu Angong.

The sun had sunk to the horizon, and the twilight was getting heavier, and the guards on the towers lit their lamps to dispel the darkness.

Finally, Zhou Shi raised his hand and shouted to his knights to stop
