I don't know if Yang He wanted to verify Zheng Xunrui's ability, or if he did it on purpose, anyway, the speed of the group was very fast, starting from Chenshi, and resting for half an hour to eat, and before the time, the group arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion.
Zheng Xunrui finally understood Yang He's words, and also understood Yang He's eyes, riding a horse is really not for fun.
When he dismounted, he was so sore that he could barely lift his right leg, and gritted his teeth several times before he barely got off the horse, not so much dismounting, but rolling down.
When his feet touched the ground, his whole body was numb, he could barely stand on his feet, and he stumbled several steps before he could barely stabilize his figure.
Look at Yang He, there is nothing, after getting off the horse, leading the horse rope and striding forward, Yang Tingshu's face is just a little pale, and there is no problem in walking, even Zheng Jinhong is better than him.
When he was holding the horse rope and walking slowly towards the inn, Zheng Xunrui felt that his body did not belong to him, and his soul seemed to be thrown out of his body, watching this body barely move forward.
Yang He is still walking in the back, his eyes have been staring at Zheng Xunrui, when he accepted the task, Lord Yang specially entrusted, not only to protect the safety of Yang Tingshu, but also to protect the safety of this Zheng Gongzi, the first time I saw Zheng Xunrui, Yang He felt a little strange, in the eyes of the soldiers, the scholars are weak, and the temperament exuded is also soft, with a hint of sour and rotten breath, but this Zheng Gongzi is a little different, there is no soft breath, let alone sour and rotten, When I saw it for the first time, I showed a little domineering, and this domineering was only found in the generals who led the army.
This made Yang He feel strange, so when he accelerated the speed of the journey, he arranged the time very tightly, and it only took more than two hours to rush to Zhenjiang Mansion.
To his surprise, Zheng Xunrui actually persevered, judging from Zheng Gongzi's riding posture, it should be the first time to go out, the movements are a little stiff, not particularly coordinated, such a riding posture consumes a greater body.
What's more critical is that Zheng Xunrui was still able to get off the horse and walk slowly.
This made Yang He start to look at him differently.
Entering the inn, Yang Zhong began to arrange food and accommodation, they did not enter Zhenjiang City, but found an inn on the side of the official road, most of the day's running, everyone was a little tired, after dinner, they needed to rest early.
After entering the room, Zheng Xunrui couldn't wait to lie on the bed immediately, thinking about nothing, doing nothing, and getting a good night's sleep, but he couldn't do this, he knew very well that people have a limit to bear, and when they are close to the limit, it is the most difficult moment, once they break through this limit, they will be able to adapt.
His current state is precisely above the limit, the bumps along the way, controlling the balance of his body, maintaining the speed of travel, etc., have exhausted his body, and what is even more painful is that because the bumps lead to soreness everywhere in his body, this can be said to be above the critical point, breaking through this critical point, he will be able to adapt to the rush behind, if he can't adapt, the next time is to lie in bed and rest.
Zheng Xunrui said to the guy who came with him, and immediately prepared bath water for him and poured it into the wooden barrel in the corner.
While the guy went to prepare the bath water, Zheng Xunrui began to do stretching exercises, and he did it very seriously, although his face was pale and his expression was painful, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Half an hour later, the guy got the bath water ready.
Zheng Xunrui divided five by two, took off his clothes, and entered the wooden barrel, and a comfortable feeling instantly spread throughout his body.
There are many ways to recover after extreme fatigue, but some methods are currently unachievable, for example, the best way to recover is massage and massage, which is not realistic at present, unless you find Langzhong, so you can only find the best way under the current conditions.
There are four steps to recover from fatigue, the first step is to move the joints properly, the second step is to take a bath, the third step is to eat, and the fourth step is to sleep.
The time of the meal is scheduled at the time of Shen.
Even Yang He needs to rest after eating early, not to mention other people, since he is going out to travel, he has to get up much earlier in the morning, he has to have breakfast at three o'clock, and he has to set off at two o'clock, just like he set off at the hour today, it will be too late.
When it was time to eat, Zheng Xunrui went downstairs on time.
Seeing the refreshed Zheng Xunrui, Yang He couldn't believe his eyes, from a spiritual point of view, Zheng Xunrui was better than Yang Tingshu, how could this be possible, could it be said that in such a short time, Zheng Xunrui would be completely recovered, this doesn't make sense.
When eating, Zheng Xunrui ate a lot of food, ate meat, and didn't care about Sven who was a scholar.
Yang He looked at Zheng Xunrui's movements, slightly in a daze.
After eating, Yang Tingshu and the others all went back to the room, but Zheng Xunrui slowly walked out of the inn and paced along the official road.
Yang He followed behind and walked out of the inn, he found that Zheng Xunrui was pacing along the official road, not fast, not far from the inn, and looked quite leisurely.
Half an hour later, Zheng Xunrui finished pacing and returned to the inn.
At the end of the day, everyone went to sleep.
This is probably the earliest time Zheng Xunrui slept after crossing.
The next day, after breakfast, Yang Tingshu, whose face was still a little pale, spoke.
"Qingyang, yesterday was a little hard, today is it slower, I saw Changzhou Mansion resting, here is more than 120 miles away from Changzhou, the road is a little slower, arrive after noon, everyone can take a good rest."
Zheng Xunrui's body has basically recovered, in the end, he is young, look at everyone, the problem is not very big.
After a slight groan, he spoke slowly.
"I think I can arrive in Suzhou Mansion today."
After Zheng Xunrui said this, even Yang He couldn't help but look at him.
"Yesterday I ran two hundred miles, set off at about one hour, and arrived at Zhenjiang before the hour, which is more than three hundred miles away from Suzhou Mansion, that is, more than three hundred miles, and set off at two o'clock, conservative calculations, and it should be no problem to arrive in Suzhou at the right time."
Yang Tingshu showed a wry smile on his face.
"Qingyang, I'm not marching to fight, coming out to travel, it's so hard, it's really a bit unbearable."
"Brother Huaidou, who can guarantee that you and I will not ride horses and gallop in the future, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity now to sharpen it, and when it comes to Suzhou Fucheng, I am afraid that there will be a period of time, and it can be adjusted well."
Yang Tingshu sighed, a little helpless.
"Okay, since you think so, then I'm also stubborn, I can't imagine that your ambition and tone are so big, Yang He, you tell me, what preparations need to be made to travel more than three hundred miles in one day."
"Childe, just like yesterday, at this time you need to prepare lunch meals, the lunch rest time is extended to an hour, and the Shen time rest for half an hour, your mounts need to be adjusted, in addition to the need to prepare green beans, or soybeans, oats, water, these are prepared for horses, if you want to arrive in Suzhou Mansion today, there is the most important point, that is, the two sons must be prepared to endure hardships. The subordinates finally want to remind one point, that is, if the mount is fatigued, it must not be forced, if the subordinates find such a situation, they will ask for rest, and ask the two sons to forgive. ”
After Yang He finished speaking, Yang Tingshu turned his head to look at Zheng Xunrui, with a wry smile on his face, although he said that he had specially trained to ride horses, but such a high-intensity attack had never been experienced.
"Since that's the case, then be prepared, I can't imagine traveling thousands of miles a day, this day is more than 300 miles, it is not too difficult to do, but it is a hundred miles more than yesterday, gritted my teeth and passed."
Zheng Xunrui said lightly.
Yang Zhong and Zheng Jinhong quickly went to prepare things such as oats, soybeans, and water.
Zheng Xunrui looked at Yang He, as if he had inadvertently spoken.
"Yang He, how far can the Uzhumuqin horse run every day?"
"Back to Zheng Gongzi, the trained Wuzhumuqin horses will not be affected in any way if they run two hundred miles a day, and they are not particularly picky about horse materials, but it is still a little difficult to travel three hundred miles a day......"
Explaining this, Yang He looked at Zheng Xunrui.
"How does Zheng Gongzi know about the Wuzhumuqin horse, this kind of war horse is usually invisible."
"Oh, I have some special hobbies for horses, I have seen some before, the endurance of the Uzhumuqin horse is the most outstanding, far stronger than the Arabian horse, at this time, I am afraid that I can't wait for noon, I have to rest, otherwise the mount can't bear it, and it will become a joke when I arrive in Suzhou Mansion today."
Yang He's face changed slightly.
"According to Childe's wishes, how should this time be arranged."
"I mean, every hour the mount runs, rest for half an hour, so that the mount can be properly adjusted, as for the time when we eat, that's easy to say, any time is fine."
Yang He's eyes shot a trace of coldness, Zheng Xunrui said that the marching arrangement, and the cavalry large-scale rush time arrangement is consistent, when the cavalry marches, every hour needs to rest for a quarter of an hour to half an hour, so that the war horse recovers, continuous long-term running, the war horse is easy to lose strength, if you don't want to pull down the speed of the march, then you need to do one person, two horses or even three horses, the horse can rest, people can not rest.
How did Zheng Xunrui know this, could it be said that this is a coincidence?
Yang Tingshu also noticed the change in Yang He's face, he looked at Zheng Xunrui, and felt that his thinking was a little confused, how much did Zheng Xunrui know, and did he know anything that he didn't know.
