A cold winter snow swept the whole Bianjing, originally Zhao Lei returned victoriously, the official family personally greeted and brought the enthusiasm of the people of Bianjing, suddenly subsided a lot, the crystal snowflakes and the cold weather prevented a lot of passers-by who wandered on the street, Bianjing's large and small streets, the crowd was much sparser than before, only in the warm wings of the major restaurants, there was leisure around the hot pot to talk about the rich people.

Zhao Lei was dressed in a brocade robe, riding on a tall horse, and behind him, Zhu Dali and other eight guards were also riding on horses, straddled the Pu knife at his waist, and followed Zhao Lei in the direction of the Four Holy Temples.

The gold medal order arrow has been in Zhao Lei's hands, and Zhao Lei received fifty sets of weapons such as iron armor, Changge, Pu knife and bow and crossbow from the Privy Council, and began to form a private guard.

Zhao Lei's subordinates can be counted as elite warriors, but Zhu Dali and Zhao Ming, Fan Quan, a dozen Hebei tycoons and Qingzhou Qiang people, can not pick out fifty sturdy warriors to form a guard, but fortunately Zhao Lei has been in Qingzhou for so long, he asked from Di Qing for more than thirty cavalry proficient in cavalry and archery, and will soon come to Bianjing to form the elite Zhao Mansion private guard of Zhao Mansion.

"Bianjing's horses are really expensive, a high-quality war horse in Qingzhou is up to five hundred taels, and Bianjing will cost one thousand taels, and the horses you buy are at most fifty taels in Gyeongju, and Bianjing actually dares to ask for two hundred taels, it's really crazy." Zhao Ming, who was behind Zhao Lei, looked at the only medium war horse sitting down, and muttered.

"These are all Gyeongju horses! If it is replaced by Xixia horse and Liao horse, it is estimated that the price is higher, who let me not have a large number of horse pastures in the Great Song Dynasty! Zhao Lei heard Zhao Ming's complaint. Said with a light smile.

"There used to be a lot of horse pastures in Hebei, but there were not many court officials and people in the Great Song Dynasty who were proficient in grazing and raising horses, so the income from those horse farms could not offset the expenses, and finally Fan Zhongyan Fan was charged with disturbing the people and the grain field." Born in the green woodland of Hebei, Zhu Dali said to Zhao Lei.

"Yes! Except for the descendants of the Turks in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, there are really few people in the Great Song Dynasty who can raise good horses! It's a pity ......" Thinking of the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Lei sighed and said.

Talking and laughing. Zhao Lei came to the Four Sages Temple with the guards behind him, the Four Sages Temple is not something that ordinary people can come into, the security of this place is stricter than the imperial city, almost the same as the harem where the official Zhao Zhen lives, if it weren't for Zhao Lei having a token specially given by the official Zhao Zhen, it would be impossible to enter the Four Sages Temple, a place where the royal family and official women are forbidden.

Zhao Lei and the guards guarding the gate of the Four Saints Temple explained, left Zhu Dali and others outside, and walked into the Four Saints Temple alone.

The time was very early, and the snow was thick in the passage of the high wall of the Four Saints, and several palace maids who were cleaning the snow were working hard against the severe cold.

Follow the main road of the Four Sacred Temples all the way forward. Zhao Lei came to the Taoist temple where the eldest princess of Shengguo lived.

In the early morning, Shengguo, whose red sores on his face had almost healed, were sitting quietly under the eaves and watching the snow fluttering outside.

"You're here." Hearing the sound of feet stepping on the snow, Shengguo was wondering who was coming at this time, and suddenly saw the manly face that Chao Si had imagined. Immediately stood up and said loudly in surprise.

Zhao Lei, who walked to the Taoist temple of the eldest princess of Shengguo, saw that Shengguo had abandoned a Taoist robe, wearing a light green cotton jacket, and the red sores on his face were already very light, leaving only a little red mark. And when she stood up, she was even taller and more attractive, and although she was wearing a thick cotton coat, she still couldn't hide her undulating and delicate body.

"It's coming. I just finished dealing with those friends in the officialdom, and I remembered that I hadn't seen you since I came back, so I came to see you! Zhao Lei didn't have a restrained expression in the face of Shengguo, and said as if he saw an old friend.

"You're really, it's snowing so hard, you won't wait for the snow to stop!" Looking at the snow on Zhao Lei's body, the eldest princess of Shengguo pulled him under the eaves, stuck to Zhao Lei, and intimately helped him pat off the snow on his body.

It's the first time I've had such intimate contact with Shengguo. After Zhao Lei smelled a virgin fragrance, he felt a little intoxicated, looking at Shengguo to reach his eye figure and beautiful figure, Zhao Lei couldn't help but sigh that Shengguo is indeed the best candidate to be a model!

"Alright, there's a brazier in the house, hurry up and go in to ward off the cold!" After patting off the snow on Zhao Lei's body, looking at the intoxicated eyes of the person he liked, Shengguo suddenly saw that the two of them were too close, his face turned red, and he made up his mind in his heart, and pulled Zhao Lei into the house and said.

"How are you feeling lately?" Walking into the house, Zhao Lei turned the charcoal in the brazier and asked Shengguo.

"That's good! I have been using those ointments you gave me, the red sores on my face are getting lighter and lighter, and it is estimated that it will get better soon, after using those ointments, I now have no red sores on my face, and my skin is more delicate. Hearing Zhao Lei's concern, Shengguo warmly touched her increasingly tender cheeks in his heart, and said sweetly to Zhao Lei.

"That's good, as long as you don't eat sour and spicy things this time, you can apply the ointment for another month at most, and you can be completely cured." Zhao Lei looked at the more and more charming and moving face after the red sores subsided, and said intoxicatedly.

Shengguo looked at Zhao Lei's intoxicated expression, and was very proud in his heart, and the self-confidence that he had lost because of the red sores in the past was all back to his body at this time.

"By the way, I heard that the official family is preparing to train a new army, and they are ready to put you in charge?" Shengguo remembered what he talked about the last time he entered the palace and talked about the meeting with the official Zhao Zhen, and asked Zhao Lei with concern.

"Not bad! I proposed the training of the new army. Zhao Lei said calmly to Shengguo, for the sister of this official family, the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Lei has a deep sense of trust from the bottom of his heart.

"Why do you want to train a new army? Now, can't the 800,000 forbidden army and the 400,000 Xiang army of the Great Song Dynasty defend against foreign enemies? "Shengguo has lived in the Four Sages since he was a child, rarely goes out, and when he is bored, he likes to read all kinds of books on the current affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, happily sorting out customs and people's feelings, and he is also clear about the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, so he asked Zhao Lei suspiciously.

"The current army of one million in the Great Song Dynasty, although it can definitely resist foreign enemies, but there is more than enough to defend the city, but the development is insufficient, I have talked to the official family in detail, and I have also asked the official family to be the king of the guard, or the pioneering and enterprising, the generation of Ming Jun, the official family is only twenty-five years old this year, how can he want to be the king of the city! Therefore, it was agreed to organize and train a new army to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Great Song army. Zhao Lei told the matter of persuading the official Zhao Zhen to train the new army.

"I see! But how are you going to train the new army? Shengguo asked Zhao Lei curiously.

"I have reformed the army in Gyeongju and trained elite cavalry, but due to the problem of war horses, the cavalry of my current Great Song Dynasty cannot catch up with the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Western Xia and Liao States in any case, so I want to use cavalry against cavalry, unless there is a genius cavalry general like Wei Qinghuo Qu disease and many high-class war horses, it is difficult to fight against so many elite cavalry in the Western Xia and Liao Kingdom, so I am not ready to continue to vigorously display the cavalry, with the cavalry as the main combat strength against the enemy, but instead vigorously show the foot soldiers, mainly foot soldiers, The cavalry supplemented the method against the Western Xia and Liao. Zhao Lei said eloquently to the eldest princess of Shengguo, who was listening carefully.

"Isn't this the current model of the Great Song Dynasty against the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms!" Seungkook asked with a frown.

"Not bad! I went to Gyeongju to vigorously display the cavalry, but after the battle with the Western Xia, it was a fantasy to resist cavalry with cavalry, and the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty was too weak, so I went around and returned to the mode of resisting cavalry with infantry. Zhao Lei heard the question of ascension to the country and said with a wry smile.

"The Great Song infantry in the Great Song Dynasty in the founding of the country for a hundred years, the exhibition is very fast, but the Great Song infantry lacks sufficient mobility ability, so no matter how you look at the field battle, it is not the opponent of the Western Xia and Liao cavalry, and the defense of the Western Xia and the Liao State now does not dare to take the initiative to attack the Great Song Dynasty's Xiongcheng, if you want the official family to become the pioneer Ming Jun, the Great Song infantry needs too many roads to go!" Shengguo is not ignorant of the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and when he heard Zhao Lei's words, he still frowned and asked.

"Haha! Shengguo, you have finally reached the key point, let me ask you, what is the reason why you said that the Great Song infantry was able to defeat the powerful cavalry of Western Xia and Liao in defense? Zhao Lei laughed and asked Shengguo.

Shengguo pondered for a while, and said slowly: "There are many reasons, such as the support of the fortified city, abundant materials, continuous support, the number of soldiers, well-equipped, etc., these are not comparable to the Western Xia and Liao, but these are all local advantages, once you go deep into the Western Xia and Liao, these advantages are basically gone, so the Great Song Dynasty has the ability to defend the land, but has no ability to open up." ”

"But I think the most important reason why the Great Song Dynasty was able to defeat Western Xia and Liao in defense was because of the equipment!" Zhao Lei looked at Shengguo and said confidently.

"Why?" Shengguo raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

"Think about the equipment that was the most lethal and helpful when I defended the city in the Great Song Dynasty, it was nothing more than gun carriages, crossbow cars, and various gunpowder weapons, heavy armor and heavy crossbows and other equipment, and most of these equipment were not available in Western Xia and Liao, think about it, once my Great Song Dynasty defenders lost these weapons, would they still be able to defeat the enemy troops in Western Xia and Liao as before?" Zhao Lei asked slowly towards Shengguo.

Shengguo pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Not bad! If the Great Song Dynasty did not have these equipment, even if the city was defended, it would not be the opponent of Western Xia and Liao, and it seems that these equipment would be the most important equipment of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"So! I am going to change the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty with equipment here, on the one hand, to improve the gun carriages and ballista carriages to make them shoot farther, on the other hand, to change the gunpowder weapons to make them more powerful, and finally to change the heavy armor and heavy crossbows, so that they can have stronger defense, longer range and stronger penetration while reducing their weight! Zhao Lei clenched his fists and said confidently and loudly.

Shengguo looked at Zhao Lei's confident and proud appearance, and his heart was suddenly full of trust in the man in front of him, feeling that this man was omnipotent.

"I believe in you!" Shengguo looked at Zhao Lei and said solemnly.
