Chapter 11 Promotion to Uncle

This word "beheading" is enough to alarm any officer and soldier.

For a while, everyone in the inn took their own weapons, rushed out of the store, and scattered.

Yang Tingfeng also lightly vertically fell, falling from the sky, and in an instant, the person had landed steadily.

Just as he was about to return to the camp, the cavalry general in the captain's armor suddenly came out of the crowd, stopped in front of Yang Tingfeng, and turned his head and instructed everyone in the cavalry camp: "Wait until you go to each battalion to give orders, and the marshal's mansion will converge." ”

"No!" At the behest of this man, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion shook the reins and stepped on the stirrups, and the Akhal-Teke horses let out a high-pitched neighing sound, and for a while, the war horses galloped, dusty, and disappeared one after another.

In the dust, the captain lifted the reins, and the hooves of the war horse under his crotch immediately stopped the people from standing.

Yang Tingfeng was secretly surprised, and it was easy to calm his mind, and he looked at the captain carefully, but he didn't know him, and he didn't feel "huh", and asked with his fists: "The little one has seen the military captain, I don't know what you call it?" ”

As he spoke, the lieutenant had already turned over and rushed off his horse, but he did not answer.

Without the restraint of the master, the horse circled around Yang Tingfeng twice in an instant, sniffed slightly hostile, and the captain stroked his mane and said softly: "Shhh......h

Yang Tingfeng frowned slightly, and he also squinted at the moment.

At this glance, I saw that the horse's whole body was like red charcoal, extremely handsome and tall, and at first glance it was the top grade of the Akhal-Tejin horse, so I couldn't help nodding silently, "Sure enough, it's really as Brother Guo said, the tail is like a sweep, the tail is thin, the tailbone wants to swim, and the hind feet want to shrink." The curved pool is deep, the legs are like pipa, the spine is short, and the sweat groove is deep. The brain bones want to be round, the food trough wants to be wide, the cheek bones want to be round, and the face is like a rabbit. The ears are like cutting bamboo, the eyes are like hanging bells, there is meat under the eyes, and the eyes are high, but it's a pity that ......"

He was in the horse exploration camp, and once consulted the 'horse dealer' Guo Yanzai about the edification of the art of horses, not to mention that he learned seven or eight successes, these four or five percent of the vision is still there.

Hearing this, the lieutenant's smile suddenly stopped, and he said coldly: "What is a pity? ”

Yang Tingfeng patted the horse's back, then sighed and said: "It's a pity that the hoof bone has suffered a heavy injury, although it is healed, but the horse's leg strength can never return to the peak." ”

The captain's face sank, nodded silently, and asked in a low voice, "Have you studied Soma?" ”

Yang Tingfeng's face was hot, and he secretly screamed ashamed, and arched his hand: "Master Lieutenant, the villain only knows a little bit about it, and the class has an axe, so it can't be taken seriously." ”

The lieutenant glanced at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a blank expression: "You are Yang Tingfeng." ”

Yang Tingfeng was slightly surprised, glanced at the captain, and suddenly nodded: "Exactly!" Do you know what? ”

The lieutenant shook his head, his face expressionless, and said, "I don't recognize it." ”

Yang Tingfeng was stunned, frowned, and said, "Then dare to ask why the adults ......?"

The captain looked at the distance and said slowly, "Three years ago, the old commander ordered the cavalry battalion to go to the imperial capital to escort the tax and silver of the three northwestern provinces, and I had a relationship with Ling Zun. ”

Before it was over, he added another sentence: My surname is Li, and my single name is a letter.

Li Xin.

Thunder.

The Li family of Longchuan is famous for "good shooting" and "riding generals", and most of its descendants are generals, and they are the martial arts family that has dominated the history for thousands of years.

And this Captain Li is the commander of the Xiao Cavalry, Li Chengxun's only son - Li Xin, the current "Xiao Cavalry Captain" of the Guards Xiao Cavalry Battalion, not only skilled in bow and horse, but also strong in martial arts. Rather, it is also a rare commanding cavalry general.

As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, but one will be hard to find!

In fact, there is no shortage of generals in the imperial court, there are people who understand land warfare, car warfare, battle battles, water warfare, but cavalry warfare?

After all, in this era, there are no airborne troops.

The cavalry played the role of a mobile and flexible airborne strike force on the battlefield in ancient times.

At the beginning of the war, it was necessary to send cavalry to quickly seize advantageous positions, and carry out surprise attacks and instant strikes on the fortresses occupied by the enemy.

The cavalry dominates the battlefield, relying not on the courage of a horseman, but on its powerful mobility to affect the victory of a war.

Therefore, among the cavalry, the comprehensive quality of an excellent cavalry general is particularly important.

Second, there is this cavalry unit.

With Dayin's national strength, extensive accumulation of grain, fine preparation of troops, and careful selection of generals, several elite troops can be formed within three to five years.

But cavalry is different from ordinary armies.

First of all, a qualified military horse must be carefully selected.

Why? Because, not all horses can become war horses.

Among them, it is necessary to choose excellent varieties that are strong and strong, and they must be obedient and have good foot strength, which is itself expensive. Moreover, the cost of raising a war horse is much greater than that of several soldiers.

After all, war horses eat forage, and these expensive livestock do not consume food with the soldiers.

However, they don't eat all weeds.

Just as a man has to eat a staple food. In addition to hay and grass, horses also have to eat concentrated feed made from rice bran, wheat bran, and black beans.

Third, this war horse is not born to gallop on the field.

It is not only necessary to train the horses to adapt to various complex environments on the battlefield, but also to train the horses to learn different marching steps, and finally, to practice the offensive and defensive skills of the integration of men and horses.

Of course, the most important thing is. Although Li Xin and his father were born in Longchuan, they were rare border generals who did not participate in the political infighting between the two factions.

In the same way, Ge Shu, as the leader of the Huaisi Group, also gave great trust to the father and son.

not only entrusted them with the safety of the Shuaifu, but also handed over the strongest combat force of the Zisai Border Army, the Guards Xiao Cavalry Battalion, to the two of them

This is simply the act of handing over one's own head to the enemy.

The two were silent for a moment, and Yang Tingfeng suddenly let out a long breath, with a complicated look between his eyebrows, "Old man, he's okay." ”

Li Xin was stunned, then nodded, and said coldly: "Yang Ye is in the military department, the official residence is second, everything is fine." ”

After speaking, Yang Tingfeng suddenly seemed to be a little distracted, and he was silent, in the silence, only the wind was whistling, bringing bursts of cold air from the northern grassland.

"Also, the Shuai Mansion ordered that you be promoted to the position of the commander of the Armored Battalion." Li Xin's voice sounded again without any emotional fluctuations.

However, his eyes were fixed on Yang Tingfeng's face.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, but Li Xin spoke first, "What else do you have to ask?" ”

Yang Tingfeng was very disgusted and said: "I, obey the order." ”

Li Xin's eyes lit up and he asked, "Oh?" Seems a little dissatisfied? Is it because of Lingzun? ”

"Yes!" Yang Tingfeng said proudly, his eyes bright and open.

Li Xin looked at the squinting face, bowed his head slightly, and said coldly: "If there is anything, just ask, take advantage of my good mood today." ”

It is almost impossible to spit this sentence out of the mouth of such a man in front of him.

"This Li Xin is a ruthless corner." Yang Tingfeng was a little stunned, and then he had mixed feelings, and said in a low voice: "The ancestral system of Dayin, the promotion of soldiers, one is the first merit, the second is the first to ascend, the third is to trap the battle, and the fourth is to hold the flag. ”

"You're right! But you only know one but you don't know the other. Li Xin's face was still sinking like water, and he bowed his head and said: "Dayin has an ancestral system, but my Zisai has an extra military morale reward, and the old commander has already given the order first. ”

Yang Tingfeng was slightly taken aback, and frowned: "Really? Is there such an article? His gaze fell on Li Xin's face, hoping to see a hint of his emotional fluctuations.

However, he didn't get any of the results he was looking for.

There was silence on the field, only the north wind blew the clothes and armor on the two people, and the sound of hunting.

Li Xin followed his gaze, also stared at Yang Tingfeng, and asked, "What else do you want to ask?" ”

Yang Tingfeng groaned slightly, and said: "Yes, Taizu has an order, and the soldiers are promoted, starting with the captain, the chief, the uncle, the hundred, the Yamen, the cavalry governor, the Qu governor, the Sima, the captain, and the captain to the captain." And the promotion of generals must be from the Zhonglang General, General Pi, Partial General, Four Zheng Generals, Four Towns Generals, the four major generals before and after, General Wei, General Che Cavalry, Hussar General and even the Great General! But no matter what kind of military rank, it is a promotion of the first order, even if I have the first merit, I can't be promoted to three levels in a row, this is against the Great Yin Ancestral System, unless ........."

Before he could finish speaking, the voice had stopped.

"That's a good point, unless it's your old man who secretly makes a effort for you and helps, 'call in the hall, step down Bainuo', right?" Li Xin paid attention to Yang Tingfeng's eyes for a while, and said coldly: "I can tell you, there is!" To say no, that's a joke. ”

"Hehe, is this really the case!" The moment he heard Li Xin speak, there was a smile in Yang Tingfeng's eyes, but the smile was extremely complicated - as if it was expected, and as if it was a little lost

When he was young, he left home and lived in the rivers and lakes.

Hide from your relatives and join the border army.

But after all, he did not escape his father's shadow.

Li Xin glanced at Yang Tingfeng, and suddenly, he raised a hand, pointed his fingers at the sunset in the distance, and continued coldly: "What did you see? ”

Yang Tingfeng blurted out: "People! ”

"What about the people?" Li Xin looked into the distance, and in his cold eyes, there was gradually a flame.

Yang Tingfeng shouted: "Jiangshan! ”

"That's right, as you said, it's these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!" Looking at the sun that was gradually disappearing in the sky, Li Xin said calmly, "The rise and fall of the country, the victory or defeat of the soldiers, the erudition is the best, and it is fortunate to discuss it." In the midst of the curtains, above the temple, you can't do your best for the country to seek social benefits, which is the shame of a gentleman. ”

Yang Tingfeng was startled again and blurted out: "What you said is true." ”

"For the sake of the society and the gentleman, what about cronyism? This is what Geshu Lao Shuai often says. Speaking of the old handsome, Li Xin looked at it out of thin air, his eyes were also in awe and cautious, and after a pause, he continued:

"You Huaisi people, the fourth and third dukes, have produced more than 20 first- and second-class officials of the imperial court, 30 feudal officials, and more than 50 famous generals! Pull out the purple gas of the Jianghuai land. The family gate valves of the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the country look at you as if they were looking from the earth to the sky. In the words of the Empress Dowager of this dynasty, the people of Jianghuai are proud of their ancestors and descendants, and there is no one else in the world. ”

"You are not only in the army, but you also have the glory of your father's family, and you will not worry about having no chance to enter the prime minister in the future. It is more important to be loyal to the country and practice the ability to kill the enemy, instead of always thinking about how to escape from the family and how to get rid of Ling Zun. I've been in the army for eight years, and I hope you can live up to your eight years and do it yourself......"
