Chapter 476: The Next Goal
Wang Yu's interest is not the focus of the envoys who watched the ceremony, after the expansion of the sixth army of hussars, what kind of scale will be formed, and whether they can maintain the original combat power, this is what they are most concerned about.
But this kind of thing, Wang Yu will not be brought to the public, and it will not be seen on the surface alone, and everyone can only press the doubts back into their stomachs and talk about it later.
In fact, after watching today's military parade, the specific strength of the Qingzhou Army was not only not exposed, but was hidden.
In the past, several troops in Qingzhou had very distinctive characteristics. The Shooting Battalion is a force composed of crossbowmen, the Destroyer Battalion is a heavily armed sword and axe army, and the Yulin Army is mainly a spear and spear unit.
And now, the middle of the Thunder Army is obviously Huang Zhong's archery battalion, but if this force continues to expand, it is impossible for thousands or even tens of thousands of crossbowmen to appear.
In the future, will the original long-range troops be used as the backbone, supplemented by some other arms? Or will it break up the original battalions and horses, forming a situation in which all armies stand alone?
These are unknowns.
And how the two cavalry of Wind and Fire, and the special forces in the name of fog, will be expanded, it is even more elusive. Qingzhou's existing cavalry has exceeded 5,000, and if it is further expanded, the border army that surpasses Gongsun Chan is just around the corner.
The Flame Iron Cavalry is a pure heavy cavalry unit like the Euphorbia, and now it seems that it has approached a thousand, and when it is fully formed, what kind of terrifying force will it be?
It's chilling to think about.
What's even more terrifying is the Hidden Mist Army, what this army is best at is assassination, ambush, and pursuit! It turned out that there were only a few hundred people, and they had already shaken Xuzhou, making the Taishan thieves who had Zang Ba restless day and night, and finally killed Xi Zhicai. If it expands further, it may become a target of various princes. Will you still be able to sleep peacefully?
For a while, all the envoys were like sitting on pins and needles, where could they still take care of the original task, and they couldn't wait to fly back to their lord immediately, and plan a countermeasure as soon as possible.
It's a pity that although the parade is almost over, the whole ceremony is still very long, and no one can leave at such a time.
The Han Dynasty did not go through the destruction of foreign invasions, and performed a complete Zhou ceremony.
In the midst of the Weekly Rites. Blessings and condolences are very important rituals. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, under the Son of Heaven, there were six important ministers, namely Dazai, Taizong, Taishi, Taizhu, Taishi, and Taibu. Among them, Taizhu is dedicated to various prayer ceremonies.
Wang Yu was not good at this, but he dared to be interested in the etiquette that had been annihilated in these later generations. After all, this is the real traditional etiquette of China, not like in later generations, wearing a cheongsam that shows your thighs can claim to have a very historical charm.
The ceremony presided over by Kong Rong, Guan Ning, and Bing Yuan was indeed very solemn, with six prayers and six speeches. Nine sacrifices, nine worships......
The Confucians have a basis for advancing and retreating, and there are words in their mouths, and Wang Yu is also following suit. It's fun too. The 20,000-strong army stared solemnly, and although the envoys were not here, they could only sit with a bitter face.
Of course, there are people who are impatient and can't sit still. Tai Shi Ci is not very honest.
His temperament is a little jumpy, and he was very excited when he offered the victory before. Now these complicated festivals are giving him a lot of headaches. After enduring about a stick of incense, he reached his limit, looked around, rubbed his feet to the side, rubbed and rubbed, and rubbed to Qin Feng's side.
He lowered his voice and quipped to Qin Feng: "I said crazy, you have two hits, today's arrow shot is called a beautiful one, if it weren't for your arrow, maybe Liu Lao'er would still refuse to admit defeat." ”
Qin Feng glanced at him, and then looked at Dianjiangtai, obviously signaling, don't mess around, be careful that the lord is making trouble for you.
Tai Shi Ci grinned and said: "It's okay, the lord doesn't really like these ceremonies, he just used to read in the house when he was a child, he hasn't seen it, he thinks it's fresh, let's talk quietly, he won't care." ”
Qin Feng rolled his eyes, with your voice, how much difference can there be between speaking quietly and shouting loudly from others?
Tai Shi Ci was not conscious at all, and said to himself: "I'm just strange, it's not strange that you shot an arrow, the blind cat can still meet a dead mouse, but how did the lord calculate it?" If it doesn't hit, wouldn't it be bad? ”
The phalanx of the two cavalry came together, and Zhao Yun was not far away, and it was endless to hear Tai Shici shouting in a 'whisper' here, so he had to come over and intervene: "Ahem, big brother, if you think about it carefully, you will know, the lord has not calculated that Brother Qin can make meritorious contributions in one fell swoop." ”
Tai Shi Ci Daqi: "You also know this? ”
"Big brother, listen to me quietly." Zhao Yun was sweating, and he couldn't do anything about this righteous brother, so he said in a low voice: "This is very simple, compared to archery, it was decided temporarily, although Brother Qin's archery is strong, after all, his strength is slightly inferior, and it is unknown whether he can win or not." If the lord had predicted it in advance, how could there be any reason not to let Brother Qin be the first to appear? ”
"That's just as well." Tai Shi Ci nodded and understood.
Hakuba Yoshiko's archery skills are very good, but whether he can shoot a target a hundred and fifty steps away, archery alone is not enough, strength is the decisive factor. If Qin Feng is completely sure, the effect of letting him appear directly is obviously the best.
Yan Rou is the number one general under Liu Yu, but Qin Feng is just an ordinary deputy general, and the identities of the two are swinging together, and the effect of slapping the face is also very good.
"Big brother, you act flamboyantly and have high martial arts, but you have already been famous, and you win alone, and your persuasion is inevitably insufficient. Therefore, the lord ordered me to wait for one after another, and finally let Brother Qin make a move. It's good to win, but even if you miss, it won't affect the overall situation. ”
"Zilong, you have a very accurate grasp of the lord's mind." Tai Shici agreed with Zhao Yun's statement, but his doubts were not exhausted: "Then tell me, how does the lord know that he will definitely be able to shoot?" Before, I didn't seem to have shot a target with a bow and arrow at a hundred and fifty paces. ”
"Well, I don't know." Zhao Yun shook his head and guessed uncertainly: "The lord may just have confidence in you and me, right?" ”
Of course, Zhao Yun didn't know that under the influence of his lord, Lu Bu once made a story of shooting halberds. At that time, Lu Bu had two audiences, one was called Ji Ling and the other was Liu Bei, after these two people saw Lu Bu's performance. I think it's amazing.
So Wang Yu had a concept, that is, the goal of one hundred and fifty steps is not a problem for super-first-class generals, but for first-class and second-rate generals, it is a very magical thing.
He didn't know how big Yan Rou was, but since he didn't know it, he couldn't be as high as Ji Ling if he wanted to come to this person's territory. Therefore, when Liu Yu specified that he wanted to compare archery. Wang Yu casually said such a method, and then took into account the safety and shock, and arranged the order of appearance on his side.
The result is that everyone thinks it's amazing. The martial arts are poor, and they think that the archery skills of Tai Shici and others are amazing; Tai Shi Ci and they themselves felt that the faith of the lord was amazing.
Tai Shi Ci smacked his lips. seemed to reminisce about the previous painful slap in the face, and then sighed: "Alas, it's a pity, there's nothing to do after today, that interesting guy named Pan Zhang was taken away by Yuan Zhi again, how can I live this boring day." ”
"No fight? How can it be? Qin Feng scoffed at this statement: "Liu Lao'er may be frightened. But if you look at the eyes of the rest of the people, they all look like they have ghosts in their hearts. Even Liu Lao'er didn't scare him so easily, that person's city was deep. ”
"Maniac. You're stupid. Tai Shi Ci glanced at Qin Feng very proudly, and said with a smile: "Isn't this an obvious thing?" The reason why the lord said that he wanted a military parade was going to be carried out was that these people ran over regardless of whether they received an invitation or not, not just to see it. What about the losses of our army? Now, they see it. Who would dare to provoke? ”
"Our army wants to recuperate, and it can't go on an expedition, just because it wants to save some food, and a fool is in a hurry to provoke at such a time. Even if it is Liu Lao'er, he just knows that our army is short of food, and he wants to provoke the lord and let us go on an expedition. ”
He sighed and said: "Anyway, this year, next year, eighty percent of the war will not be fought, even if there is no big fight, only a small fight, I knew that I would ask for it myself, and follow Yuanzhi to Hedong, even if it is a trip to Jingzhou." ”
Seeing him like this, Qin Feng was just funny, but Zhao Yun comforted him seriously: "Big brother, in fact, it's a good thing not to fight, Lao Tzu said: Soldiers, murder weapons, saints have to use them as a last resort......"
"Come on, Zilong, you must know that what the book says is a lie, if you want to read, you have to read the essence, and if you take it too seriously, you will become a nerd. Liu Lao'er doesn't pretend to be a sage, but can you really see him as a sage now? Tai Shici pursed his lips and said, "That's it." ”
Zhao Yun was blocked back by him, and he was silent for a while.
It's better to be famous than to meet, before they met, he really felt that Liu Yu was a benevolent clansman, and the contradiction with Gongsun Chan might be some misunderstanding. But now, his mind has been shaken, changed, and he has begun to appreciate the difference between a politician and a loyal minister that Wang Yu said. Therefore, there is no way to refute Tai Shici's words.
Can't refute, it doesn't mean that there is nothing to say, after thinking about it, Zhao Yun suddenly smiled, he looked at the triumphant Tai Shici, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, you always have a point, little brother doesn't fight with you." However, you are wrong. ”
"Which one?"
"There's no fight to fight." Zhao Yun squinted his eyes, so as not to be seen by Tai Shici The smile in his eyes.
"Where is the war? You won't say you're going to Langya, will you? That kind of battle is also worth mentioning? Tai Shi Ci shook his head.
"Of course not."
Tai Shi Ci scratched his head and looked dazed: "Then, where else?" It's hard to change your mind, right? ”
"Yes, Zilong, are you a joke, or is there something really going on?" Qin Feng also asked curiously.
"How can this kind of thing be used as a joke?" Zhao Yun Zhengse said: "You haven't noticed, haven't you seen anyone from the general of the navy?" And the general Zhou, the lord said that he would be arranged to go to the navy, but have you seen him recently? ”
"That's right. But who can the water army fight? Going to Koto? It is untenable to win the war, unless the lord intends to plunder the place. Going to Liaodong? General Gongsun just helped us, so it's not embarrassing to turn his face now, right? Could it be ......" Tai Shici asked and answered himself, denied several goals one after another, and finally, looking at Zhao Yun's smiling expression, his heart suddenly moved.
"I see, the lord is really the lord, and it will never stop, haha."
