Chapter 936: School Horse Racing

"Shiyi, I've been in the Navy for a few years, I don't know if you can ride a horse?" In the school field in the south of Gubeikou, Yang Huaiyu turned his head and said with a smile to Hu Yanqing who had just arrived, now Hu Yanqing is also in his thirties, and he naturally can't call him 'Brother Qing'er anymore, so elders like Yang Huaiyu call him a word.

"Haha~, instructor, don't underestimate me, although I didn't use cavalry much when I was in the south, I didn't usually leave my equestrian behind, but instructor, you are old, I don't know if you still have the courage of the year?" Hu Yanqing also laughed at this time, he had just arrived at Gubeikou last night, preparing to participate in this battle of Liao.

Speaking of which Yang Huaiyu is not only his instructor at the military academy, but also the two are old partners on the battlefield, when he captured the sixteen states of Yanyun, he was Yang Huaiyu's most powerful assistant, this time to attack the Liao State such a big thing, the imperial court naturally wanted to transfer the best generals to the battlefield, so Hu Yanqing, who was originally in the south, was also transferred to Gubeikou, and once again acted as Yang Huaiyu's assistant, originally with his talent and qualifications, he could take on the task of attacking Liao alone, but he was willing to act as Yang Huaiyu's assistant, After all, they are teachers for one day and fathers for life, and the first military academy students also have great respect for Yang Huaiyu, not to mention that Yang Huaiyu's own talents and rewards are also stronger than them.

"The stinky boy dares to say that I am old, if I don't accept it, let's compete, run ten laps around this school field, and whoever finishes first wins!" Yang Huaiyu also laughed loudly at this time, since he saw Hu Yanqing, his proud protégé, he was happier than seeing his own son, so he was in a very good mood today, so he offered to race horses.

"It's rare for an instructor to have such an interest, and the student will accompany you for a few laps!" Hu Yanqing immediately agreed when he heard this. Some of the surrounding generals also made a fuss when they heard this, and many people clamored to participate. In the end, dozens of war horses came to the runway of the school field, and with a start, all the war horses accelerated and galloped under the urging of their respective knights, and the surrounding soldiers shouted loudly, cheering for the people they supported, and for a time the school field was like thunder.

Soldiers who can have the courage to participate in this game. Yang Huaiyu and Hu Yanqing have the highest positions, but they have mainly spent their energy on military command over the years, although they have not put down their personal riding skills and martial arts, but after all, they can't invest too much energy, and it is very difficult to win the first place, and the last one who won the first place was a young general who had just turned twenty years old, as for Yang Huaiyu and Hu Yanqing, they only won the fourth and sixth places. However, it did not rank outside the top 10.

"Whew~, it's not okay to be old, the world will be all you young people in the future!" Yang Huaiyu took a few breaths and then sat down casually on the side of the school, and then looked at the young generals on the school field and sighed, but he had a little smile on his face when he spoke, although he had left the military academy for many years, but when he saw that the juniors who came out of these military schools were better than the other, his heart was also full of pride.

"Phew. I just found out in the field that the boys were trying to make the horses run faster. Didn't they know that it would hurt the horsepower and take a long rest to recover? Hu Yanqing was a little unconvinced at this time, he only got the fourth place just now, and the top three were all occupied by his group of junior brothers, and these juniors all used a bloodletting method to urge the horsepower. Because the blood pressure of the horse increases when running, it will have a great impact on the horse, and if a part of the blood is released, the horse can temporarily return to its peak state, but this method has a great impact on the horse. He was reluctant to do anything to his beloved horse.

Hearing Hu Yanqing say this, Yang Huaiyu laughed and said: "Shiyi, you don't know, when I joined the army with your generation, it was when the Great Song Dynasty was most short of horses, so we love horses very much, and even regard war horses as our relatives, but since our Great Song Dynasty conquered Xixia and other places, not only do we have our own place to raise horses, but also can buy war horses from the Western Regions, so there is no shortage of horses in the army for a long time. Some excellent cavalry generals even have five or six good horses alone, so they don't have to worry about losing horsepower at all, this horse can't be used for the time being, it's a big deal to change to a horse, anyway, it's just bloodletting, and they can recover after a period of time. ”

"This ......" Hu Yanqing has been in the southern army, where basically not much horseback riding, so for this new concept in the army is the first time to hear, for a while he doesn't know how to comment, maybe in his opinion, this concept of not cherishing horses is definitely not advisable, but on the other hand, maybe at some special moments, this practice of abandoning horses can save people's lives, so everything has two sides, and he can't arbitrarily say that this practice is not good.

Seeing the tangled expression on Hu Yanqing's face, Yang Huaiyu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, in fact, with the development of our Great Song Dynasty, some pro-things continue to emerge in the army, and many things I couldn't get used to at the beginning, and I often trained people for this, but later King Yue wrote to me that the times are developing, and the concept is also changing, and the concept of our older generation must be quite different from the concept of the young people, which is called ' by King Yue The emergence of a generation gap is inevitable, and as long as it does not affect the combat effectiveness and unity of the army, then there is no need to ignore it. ”

"Generation gap?" Hu Yanqing tasted it carefully when he heard this fresh word, and finally couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's really a generation gap, I didn't expect that I was only in my thirties, but I already had a generation gap with those young juniors, and when my sons grow up in the future, I'm afraid the generation gap between them will be even bigger." ”

"Hahahaha~, isn't it, I have a deep understanding of this, such as the stinky boys in my family, some people don't want to go to the military academy when they go to Gewu Academy, and some go to the Naval Academy in Guangzhou, I am not at home all the year round, I can't manage it if I want to, and in the end I can only let them go!" Yang Huaiyu couldn't help laughing again when he heard Hu Yanqing's words, although his sons were not very obedient, but they were all angry, no matter what they did, they had the same appearance, and no one became a fool in the capital.

Yang Huaiyu chatted with Hu Yanqing for a few gossips, and finally involuntarily turned the topic to this battle against Liao, and at this time Hu Yanqing said with a serious face: "Instructor, I just arrived here, and the layout of this war is not clear, I wonder if the instructor can explain it to me?" (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry to go out, so I'll pass on the two thousand words I've written for the time being, and I'll definitely make up for the chapter in the afternoon.
