The reason why Gao Wanhou Bingwu agreed to the reason was that Shaofu was in charge of another book of prisoners in the world, as long as Cao Shi held the power of Shaofu in his hands, he didn't have to think about the possibility of turning over in his life, even if a successor came to power in the future, he would not give Confucianism a chance to turn over, and it was not worth it to clear the sins of a group of untouchables, not to mention the risk of offending the princes. novel

In the mansion of the Marquis of Wei, Dou Ying was very cold in the face of the guests, and the Marquis Kong Zang came to his house with his younger brother Kong Anguo to ask for help, the Marquis Kong family is a branch of the Confucian family of the Lu State, and the two ancestors of the same family have a very distant relationship, and they never thought that a hole would emerge in the branch of the Confucian family.

"For the sake of belonging to the same Confucian lineage, please help us the Confucian family, only Wei Qihou can help us." Kong Zang, who is almost sixty years old, has only survived to 2,000 stone at a great age, and has no right to speak in the court because of his proximity to Confucianism, and now he wants to make trouble for himself and beg his younger brother everywhere.

Dou Ying's expression was indifferent: "The two of you should go back!" ”

Kong Anguo was also anxious: "Wei Qihou, you can't see death without help, our Kong family is the son of a saint, and we have lived in Lu Country for generations and have never left, how can you let us go to the bitter cold land of Yan Kingdom." ”

"Our Dou family can't help." Dou Ying replied patiently.

"Only the Dou family in the world can come forward to stop Cao, and if the Dou family doesn't make a move, no one can make a move."

At this time, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall. Seeing Nanpihou Dou Pengzu and Zhangwu Hou Dou Wan coming, the two couldn't help laughing: "What a God-given opportunity, Cao Shi couldn't bear to make a move on Confucianism after all." We might as well take this opportunity to give him some ruthlessness, so that he can know how powerful our Dou family is. ”

Dou Ying's face changed: "It's not appropriate!" Absolutely not! That group of Confucian scholars slandered the important ministers and committed the crime of disrespect, and most of the careful interrogation was to judge the crime and deserve death, and it was not easy for Pingyang Hou to open the net, and our Dou family could not reach in again. ”

"Huh! Wei Qihou is not right to say this, no matter how powerful Pingyang Hou is, can he still cover the sky with one hand? As long as we join forces, Pingyang Hou alone can't help us. Kong Zang was overjoyed. Hurriedly adding oil and vinegar to fan the flames, everyone in Chang'an City knew that the Dou family took advantage of the festival of Marquis Zhang Wu and Marquis Pingyang to show their hands at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Taimiao, and the two families had already formed a mortal enmity. Pulling the Dou family into the chariot of Confucianism is absolutely beneficial and harmless.

Zhang Wuhou Dou Wan hurriedly jumped out: "I'll first express my support for Tatehou!" Pingyang Hou has been a little rampant in the past few months, I have long seen that Pingyang Hou is not very pleasing to the eye, so it is better for us to join forces to deal with Pingyang Hou. ”

"I also support it, and by the way, I will bring Princess Tao Chang to do a support. Overthrowing Pingyang Hou will benefit us and do no harm. Besides, I think this Confucian classic is also quite good, much more interesting than those boring old Huang books. "Nanpihou Dou Pengzu sold a good one to Kong Zang.

The other party immediately climbed up the pole: "It's a good thing that Nanpihou is interested in Confucian classics, and I will go to your mansion to discuss Confucian classics more often." ”

"Hehe, welcome until!"

Dou Ying snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away, allowing the two branches of Confucianism and the Dou family to form an offensive and defensive alliance, in his opinion, the two brothers of the Dou family were looking for death, forcing the Liehou group to make trouble to the Dou family in advance, except for the Empress Dowager Dou's Optimus Jade Pillar to support. The Dou family has nothing to show off at all, and he is really worried that the Dou family will end up with death and annihilation.

The inconspicuous turmoil quietly dissipated. It is occasionally rumored that the news that the Kong family first entered the Dou family has not attracted much attention, and Cao Shi does not care that the Dou family and Confucianism are mixed together, not so much that the Empress Dowager Dou is a loyal supporter of the old Huang school, but that she is a loyal supporter of the Empress Lu, she will do what Empress Lu has done, and she will not do what Empress Lu has not done.

The children of the Dou family and Confucianism are dying when they are mixed together, and they don't know which person is going to be unlucky to provoke the nerves of the Empress Dowager Dou, Kong Zang's range of activities is not large, and he leads Kong Anguo, who wears a sinful body, to be sent to him every day, and the two of them have been regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the princes of Beijing.

Outside the city of Chang'an, a hundred knights of the Northern Army wore armor and rode a sturdy high-headed horse, and a closer look showed that their crotch mounts were equipped with new high-bridge saddles and stirrups, and the left and right rows of cavalry each used two different specifications of stirrups, and a new stirrup test was to be carried out here.

At noon, the flag was waving, and a hundred knights rode out on horseback, and their task was to surround the city around Chang'an City for two weeks, Chang'an City was about 22 kilometers in circumference, and the gallop around the city was about 25 kilometers, and the distance between the two circles was exactly 5o kilometers.

In the four-** carriage dedicated to the prince, Liu Che and Cao Shi sat opposite each other: "The timing must be completed within an hour, will it be a bit harsh?" ”

"It's not harsh, the full sprint of a good horse without a load is about half an hour to run the whole distance, and the minister adjusted the rules to a weight of one jun (15 city catties) of the armor, and the time relaxation is definitely more than enough."

In less than half an hour, 6 cavalry finished the first lap, and there was almost no difference between the two teams of cavalry carrying different flags in the rankings, and the fastest runners were a few short-pedal knights, who hurried past with black banners, followed by the knights with stirrups with red flags.

The soldiers led by the prince's guard looked at it with envy, the handsome posture of the cavalry riding horses was fascinating, everyone had a heart to be a cavalryman, but the number of cavalry was too small, and it was not the turn of the honor guard to guard the prince, after all, there was no need for them to run horses in the palace.

Liu Che is very interested in the horse running circle, the racecourse in the south of the city is still under construction, he himself often leads Chiyun to go around, compared to the simple army to hunt animals is more refreshing, patiently waiting for little by little to pass, when the cavalry turned back to the finish line in the second lap, the situation was very different from the first lap.

"Huh? Why are all black flags and none of the red flags coming back? ”

The prince looked left and right and could not see the cavalry with the red flag, and it was not until all the short cavalry with the black flag reached the end that he saw that the long cavalry with the red flag was late. With the naked eye, it can be seen that the sweat of each horse is dripping down, and the appearance of strong fatigue caused by strenuous exercise is very obvious.

The knights who finished running did not dismount, under Liu Che's suspicious gaze. Cao Shi also announced: "Now for the second item, use a short stick instead of a sword to fight immediately, and determine the winner by the number and part of the blow, let's start!" ”

The two teams of knights quickly separated from the left and right, holding short sticks stained with white ash and powder, and as soon as the two rows of cavalry touched, the men and horses were in a mess, and the neighing and shouting of the horses were mixed. The blow of the short stick made a crisp sound on the piercing armor.

Surprisingly, the short pedal cavalry with the black flag is flexible, and can drive the war horse to circle around the long pedal cavalry left and right. Gradually, there were more and more white spots on his body, and the tired war horse continued to retreat.

The superiority of the short-footed cavalry became more and more obvious, and 6 long-footed cavalry were judged dead and left the battlefield, and finally seven or eight red banner cavalry were surrounded. The Black Flag Knight, who was present with more than 30 people, raised his short stick and slashed it. Finally, the last red flag faded away.

Liu Che let out a sigh of relief: "It's so exciting! On my orders, the Black Flag Cavalry will be rewarded with 1ooo money each! ”

The rest of the Black Flag cavalry cheered to celebrate the victory, while the Red Flag Cavalry who turned over and dismounted looked helpless and dazed, looking at the panting mount and wondering why they lost so badly, in fact, the knights on the Black Flag side couldn't understand that they had won so easily.

They come from two adjacent tuns, and friendly troops often learn equestrian and combat skills, and the difference between them is very small, and the victory rate is basically five to five in a head-to-head encounter. I didn't expect that today would end with a big victory in 82, if it weren't for the fact that a few of them rushed too hard and crashed into each other's circle and were besieged by a group and judged to be killed. A complete victory for Jiuyi is also highly likely.

On the way back to Weiyang Palace, Liu Che asked, "The black flag is better than the red flag, is this what you want me to see?" Sue me why? ”

"Your Highness, please look at the knight who played the black flag, the horse sitting down still has the strength to fight, and the knight who played the red flag is already very tired, the mount is wheezing very violently, if the battle is not a melee of a hundred people, but a battle of ten thousand people, continuing to hold on will inevitably be a rout of the red flag side." Cao Shi pointed to the mounts of the two teams of cavalry, and after a closer look, the gap was obvious, and it seemed that the 5o km load-bearing sprint brought a different burden to the two teams of cavalry.

Liu Che was very puzzled: "Why is there no body?" I remember you said that the two teams of horses are equal, and the results of the first lap are also different, why is the second lap so bad? ”

"It lies in the setting of the stirrups, the long pedal makes the cavalry always sit firmly on the saddle in the charge and close combat, and can make the action of changing hands left and right to chop, which is more suitable for the use of the frontal decisive battle when the body is full of preparation, but such a sitting posture will press all the strength on the horse's back, and the horse's back will be greatly damaged in the long march, and the horse is easy to fall into fatigue, and the cavalry will often march long distances before the battle, and the horse should be slowly raised before the battle begins. Horses often lose their vigor in close combat with cavalry. ”

The prince suddenly realized: "No wonder I changed into a long pedal, and now Chiyun's body has declined, it turns out that this is because of this." ”

The body of the war horse is limited, and excessive weight bearing and unreasonable weight-bearing posture will damage the back of the war horse, making the war horse need to consume more body lì to maintain the force state, and it is easy to defeat the opponent in this state.

Cao Shi said: "There are also disadvantages of the knight's short pedal, the knight must maintain a squatting posture for a long time, and the long-distance running process will also be very tired, and the stability of the short pedal is relatively poor, the equestrian is not good or the long-distance run is not concentrated, it is easy to fall off the horse, and the short pedal is unable to climb over the obstacles." ”

"I didn't expect there to be so many doorways in the stirrups, give me a short pedal tomorrow to try, I want to try the feeling of running two laps around Chang'an." Liu Che often thinks of the pleasure of riding a horse and galloping.

There are several natural racetracks outside Chang'an City, and it doesn't take much man-hours to renovate, a circle of wooden fences can be regarded as a good race, and the follow-up civil engineering buildings dig the foundation and build brick walls, and then get a few decent stables It is not difficult, and two or three hundred plasterers under Shaofu are in full swing with thousands of apprentices.

Zheng Tong took Nanzhuang's hundreds of strong men, followed by Dadongzhuang, Xiaodongzhuang, Du Zhuang and other more than a dozen Zhuangzi thousands of strong men, these people are all Cao Shi Zhuangzi under the male, the right is the head of Zheng Tong, the left is the head of these Zhuang Ding, Zheng Tong's grandfather is the famous Zheng Lao in the township, Gongbu's grandfather Gongxi is more famous, the two are famous in the vicinity of ten miles and eight townships.

Gongbu is a strong man who is almost forty years old, born with a rough appearance of the Chu people, eight feet (one meter nine) full of beard and beard, and his voice is like thunder, his three sons in the family are not simple, the eldest son is more than eight feet two inches, his arms have the strength of a thousand catties, and he serves as a grassroots junior officer in the Northern Army, the second son Gongqing is more than eight feet old this year, and he just retired from the army and went home to get married and have children, and the third son Gonghe is only fourteen years old this year, and his height has passed seven feet four inches (one meter seventy-five), looking at this posture will not be less than eight feet tall.

Gongbu and Zheng Tong squatted outside the racecourse to discuss the fortifications, Zheng Tong's talent for drawing is good, holding a straw stick and pointing and poking to draw a construction sketch, and divide several Zhuangzi arranged engineering areas in three or two.

When the Zhuang Ding led the tools to disperse, Gongbu asked in a low voice, "Brother Xian!" What do you think of the work that the prince has arranged for us? ”

Zheng Tong said: "It's okay! The treatment given to us by the prince is good, three meals a day, the shed built in the construction site is lived, the mat and bedding are provided by Shaofu, and there is a day to rest for five days, each person can receive a stone of corn a month, and you can earn 12 stone corn for a year, there are craftsmen according to the level of skills and work enthusiasm, you can receive 2 stone to 4 stone corn per month, at least 24 stone to 48 stone corn a year, and a foreman like us has 5 stone corn per month, which is much more than farming! ”

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the order of agricultural production was restored very quickly, and the fertile fields with a yield of more than four stones per mu in Guanzhong abounded, and in such a backward agricultural era, there were so many grain outputs thanks to the warm and humid climate, but even so, each adult man produced about 55 stones of corn per year, which is about 33oo catties, but the corn that can be stored per capita is only 16 stones, which is about 96o catties.

If you take into account that the annual ration of your own family is far more than 4 stones, it is more profitable to come out to work, even if the family's field is left to a woman to make some grain at will, even if an acre of land can only make 3 stone of grain, the total income will increase by half at the end of the year.

After all, strong laborers don't have to eat at home, and there are a lot of rations saved invisibly, and it is also very convenient to work outside Chang'an and travel more than ten miles back and forth from home, so he feels that it is very promising and worth looking forward to.

Gongbu pinched his mustache and said: "The mother-in-law of the family has quarreled with me these days, she always says that I don't do the work in the field is not a proper job, and the mother-in-law makes me quarrel with a headache, although the foolish brother also thinks that this work is very good, but I don't know that the work arranged by the prince can be done for a few months, in case there is nothing to do after a few months, it is better to go home and farm steadily."
