Chapter 457: I Can Eat It
Looking at the cavalry in front of him, Zhao Shujiao's heart was happy, although there was no expression on his face, he was already very happy in his heart. For so many years, I never thought that Daming would have such an elite cavalry, and I could finally show my ambitions!
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose in the distance, Zhao Shujiao was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, how could anyone run a horse here? Keeping his eyes on the comer, is there a war?
After a short time, the war horse neighed, the front hooves flew, and a man and a horse stopped not far away. Immediately sat a little white-faced general, who was also about twenty years old, wearing a helmet and armor, and a robe and belt, and he looked like a military general. The eyebrows are full of brilliance, and the eyes are like stars, Zhao Shujiao can't help but praise in his heart, what a little general!
But this person doesn't know himself, looking at the color of the suit, he is a deputy chief soldier, when did Liaodong have such a young deputy chief soldier? Did you just get it?
Fighting horses and coming to Zhao to teach in front of him, Cao Wenzhao hugged his fists and chested and said loudly: "Cao Wenzhao, I've seen the general!" ”
Hearing this name, Zhao Shujiao was slightly stunned, this person was actually Cao Wenzhao! The first martial champion of the Ming Dynasty, this reputation is naturally not small. In this land of Liaodong, there is no one who has not heard of it, but I didn't expect him to come here!
Nodding with a smile, Zhao Shujiao hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Wu Zhuangyuan, Zhao is so polite!" I don't know what happened to General Cao? "The martial champion official worships the deputy chief soldier, and Zhao Shujiao naturally knows about this matter. The current Zhao Shujiao is also the deputy chief soldier, and he is naturally much more polite when he speaks to Cao Wenzhao......
"General Zhao, on the orders of the marshal, come to compete with General Zhao and compete for the position of commander!" Cao Wenzhao said loudly with a little excitement on his face.
Slightly stunned, Zhao Shujiao nodded slowly, with scrutiny in his eyes, and looked at Cao Wenzhao again. This time, 40,000 cavalry were newly formed, with a total of four commanders and eight deputy commanders!
This commander is an official position in the new army, representing the command of 10,000 cavalry, and the official worships the commander-in-chief! It can be said that it is a high position and is the most popular official position in this restructuring. Everyone wants to be a cavalry commander, but the position is limited!
Since this period of time, the commander and deputy commander have been selected, and now it is almost determined. Among them, He Shixian and You Shigong originally commanded a cavalry, but these two people gave up a lot of things in order to lead the cavalry. However, He Shixian also failed to become a leader, because he lost to Sun Chengzong's **, Lu Xiangsheng, who was both civil and military, in the battle for leadership.
Among the rest of the cavalry, Zuo Liangyu became the commander as he wished, and his deputy commanders were Wu Xiang and He Kegang. Wu Xiang is Wu Sangui's father, and He Kegang is skilled in archery and horses, and his martial arts are extraordinary! The other cavalry, led by Zhang Zhaolin, a name that Zhao Shujiao had never heard of. It is said that it was borrowed from the Qi family, and there is a very good set. His two lieutenants also came from Qi's army.
Qi Jin was ordered by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to train sailors, and some of them could not fight in the water, so they were dropped to Liaodong. After Sun Chengzong inspected the talents of these people, he greatly appreciated them.
In the end, there are only two people in this cavalry force, one of whom is Zhao Shujiao, and the other is Cheng Dedong, an old general in Liaodong. This Cheng Dedong is a military general who uses double hammers, and he is very strong. It also took a lot of effort for Zhao to teach him to win.
Looking at Cao Wenzhao who was sitting on the horse, Zhao Shujiao didn't dare to have any contempt, this person is this year's martial champion, and he must have something extraordinary. If you're not careful, you'll definitely have to make a mistake.
However, Zhao Shujiao will not show weakness, let the trained soldiers stop, form a circle, and Zhao Shujiao and Cao Wenzhao will compete inside.
For such a competition, the soldiers were naturally very happy, and the commanders selected in this way also convinced them!
With a fist hug at Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice: "General Cao, no matter who wins this time, you and I will go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, I hope it won't hurt the harmony!" ”
"General Zhao rest assured, although Cao Wenzhao is young, he is not a person with a small belly. After today's martial arts competition, the younger brother invites the eldest brother to drink, and he will not return if he is not drunk! Cao Wenzhao also understood in his heart, besides, the surname of the martial artist was bold, and he said with a laugh.
The two of them were preparing for a competition under the city, and Sun Chengzong and several people in the city were watching, obviously looking forward to this competition for a long time!
"Dashuai, it seems to be a wonderful competition! The marshal didn't send someone to call the lower official, but fortunately, the lower official's nose was long enough! A small voice rang out, and then a man approached.
Glancing back at the person behind him, Sun Chengzong suddenly showed a smile on his face and said, "Feibai is here!" Come on, it's time to get started! ”
The people around all bowed down and saluted, and said loudly: "See Xiong Jingluo!" "It's none other than Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Jingluo!
Waving his hand and signaling everyone to be exempt, Xiong Tingbi walked to the battlement of the city wall and looked out, and asked Sun Chengzong on the side: "One is a martial champion, the other is a battlefield general, who does the marshal think will win?" ”
Shaking his head with a smile, Sun Chengzong said helplessly: "It's useless to ask me about this matter, Jiandou, tell me who will win!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng frowned and looked at the two people below, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao's big iron spear is heavy, and its strength is also very large, but it is less flexible. Although General Cao's silver spear was light, it was fast, and this student couldn't predict the outcome! ”
"Alright, look! It's all fighting! Sun Chengzong pointed to the two people under the city and said with a smile.
At this time, Zhao Shujiao and Cao Wenzhao had already started to move, and for a while the dust was flying, and the weapons collided. The soldiers around shouted loudly, the drums were beating, and the atmosphere was unusually enthusiastic.
At this time, neither of the two people was in the mood to care about this, and both of them stared at each other with burning eyes. Although they didn't underestimate each other in their hearts, they were both taken aback when they really started to move.
Feeling the crisp numbness in his hands, Cao Wenzhao sighed in his heart, what a lot of strength! Although I don't have a lot of strength, it's not small! When the two shots intersected, his hand was actually numb, and this strength was not to be underestimated.
Zhao Shujiao on the side also frowned slightly, looking at Cao Wenzhao with a surprised face, at this time he already understood why Cao Wenzhao was able to get the martial champion, this kung fu is really extraordinary.
Feeling the cold wind under his armpits, the shock in Zhao Shujiao's heart was indescribable, three shots in one horse, this speed was not ordinarily fast. Even if he does his best, I'm afraid it's just two shots, but it seems that Cao Wenzhao hasn't used all his strength yet.
slapped his crotch and dismounted, and rushed towards Cao Wenzhao again, he couldn't recognize the bear at this time!
The competition continued, and there was jubilation and cheers in the arena. Finally, after thirty rounds, Cao Wenzhao picked off Zhao Shujiao's helmet with one shot, and the competition also divided the winner and loser.
Sun Chengzong looked at the two people standing in front of him with a smile, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, not bad!" Very good! In the future, the two of you must cooperate sincerely, don't live up to the trust of the commander, let alone the trust of the emperor! ”
"Please rest assured, the boss understands!" The two of them nodded at the same time, and said very tacitly.
"Alright, you guys go!" waved his hand to let everyone disperse, and Sun Chengzong took Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng to walk slowly at the head of the city.
Suddenly, an eagle flew by, and Sun Chengzong stopped Lu Xiangsheng, who wanted to shoot an arrow, and said: "Jiandou, the eagle flies in September, do you know what this means?" ”
was slightly stunned, but this couldn't help Lu Xiangsheng, and said in a deep voice: "Back to the teacher, the eagle flies in September for hunting, winter is coming, and it will be the hunting season soon!" ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Sun Chengzong turned his gaze to Xiong Tingbi on the side and said, "Feibai, what do you think?" ”
"Yes! It's time to hunt, not just the eagles, but the people! I believe that Jiannu's side will not be peaceful, the court has blocked the ** road, and this year is not a good year, and Jiannu's life is not easy. This year, Nurhachi fought on the grassland and basically pacified Mobei, and now he has about 150,000 men and horses in his hands, and his strength has increased greatly! Xiong Tingbi had a little helplessness on his face, but his tone was unusually flat, and he didn't have the slightest worry.
Smiling lightly, Sun Chengzong said with a little nostalgia on his face: "The old man just arrived in Liaodong and encountered the attack of Jiannu, I hope they will be sooner this year!" Just let the old man try the combat power of the new army.
"The great marshal is strategizing, it is the prosperity of the country and the blessing of the people!" Xiong Tingbi on the side had a smile on his face and said respectfully,
"Report!" A soldier came to their knees before them, and the conversation was interrupted!
Slightly stunned, Sun Chengzong said without changing his face: "Speak!" ”
"Lord Yang Lian is here!" The soldier knelt there respectfully and said loudly.
Yang Lian is here, is there something going on? After thinking about it, he said to the soldier: "Lead the way ahead!" ”
When he saw Yang Lian, Sun Chengzong was stunned, this Lord Yang was wearing coarse cloth clothes and was tinkering with something in front of the carbon basin. The hands are pitch black, and there are also a few black stripes on the face, which looks quite funny. However, his movements were very serious, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his expression seemed to be very excited.
didn't bother Yang Lian, a few people quietly walked around Yang Lian's side, wanting to see what he was doing. Yang Lian seemed to be rummaging around in the carbon basin, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a long strip-shaped thing, thick in the middle, thin on both sides, and black.
"Lord Yang, what kind of treasure are you doing? It looks precious! Xiong Tingbi looked at Yang He, with a smile on his face, and said softly.
Looking up and seeing a few people, Yang Lian didn't speak, reached out and picked up a black thing and broke it open. There was a lot of heat coming out of it, and it was not dark, but it exuded a faint fragrance.
Stretching out his hand to hand the things to a few people, Yang Lian smiled and said, "Taste it, taste it all!" ”
Several people glanced at each other, and Xiong Tingbi said in surprise: "This black thing, can you actually eat it?" Lord Yang, you're not kidding! ”
