After the old man left, Yang Tingfeng ordered Lao Liangtou and Chen Liang to take a large amount of gold to Yingzhou to melt gold for silver.

As for Shi Wansui, Yang Tingfeng specially told him to buy a large wooden box and stack the gold nuggets, which was counted as the cost of buying horses; He also prepared a 'special' gift and asked him to bring it to Lao Aconitum as a thank you for his previous investment.

After counting, several people have been on the road for more than ten days, and they don't know what the result is.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Tingfeng sat on the desk, playing with the jade dragonfly and the fire lion; Xiao Wolf, He Ruobi, Mu Yunmo, Yi Lou Dazang, Bo Xi Zhezhe, looked excited, sat beside him, drank mare's milk wine, nibbled on Hu cakes, and a big dog in the middle was roasted and bubbling with oil, and the aroma was fragrant.

Since the problem of salary and silver was solved, and the old marshal allocated the Leng Longling Horse Farm to the armored Zhang Battalion, Yang Tingfeng's face has really gotten better and better, and even the tone of his voice seems to be full of confidence, "I came to you today to discuss two things, one is to pay close attention to training, and the other is to change the whole battalion to cavalry shooting in the shortest time." This is related to the imperial court's plan for a decisive battle with the Turks this year, and there is a vacant position for this lieutenant here, I want to hear your views and recommend a personal choice. ”

After Yang Tingfeng finished speaking, he got up and tore off a large piece of dog meat, stuffed it into his mouth, feasted on it, and stopped talking.

A few people below could hear it, except for Xiao Wolf, their hearts were complicated.

These two things seem to be connected, but the meaning is completely different.

You know, foot archery and mounted archery are completely two different concepts, literally, one is an archer who moves on foot, and the other is an archer on horse.

But at a deeper level, it is the difference in the military branches, one is the infantry and the other is the cavalry.

But who can show their riding and archery skills in the period of reform, and what does that mean? It means that whoever has the ability will take his place if the number of staff remains the same.

For a while, everyone was talking.

Among the few Xianbei uncles, Mu Yunmo understands better than anyone else. He knew that although Yang Tingfeng believed in him and had long regarded him as his own, to be honest, he was good at swordsmanship, but horseback archery was not his forte. It's okay for him to ride a horse, but if he really wants to let him ride an eagle like Bo Xi Zhezhe and gallop across the horse, he really can't do it.

He Ruobi didn't have this luxury, he came to the barracks for too short a time, his qualifications were too shallow, usually Yang Tingfeng basically didn't call him for anything, but today he called it for the first time, and he thought there was hope. He even thinks that Yang Tingfeng intends to let him take office? He is a Xianbei tribe, and he is also a master of riding archery, he can shoot his bow and arrows left and right on horseback, and the nomadic set is absolutely unambiguous, he thinks he can do it.

And Yi Lou Dazang, although he can also ride and shoot, he didn't understand at all that the purpose of Yang Tingfeng's banquet this time was to drink wine and eat meat, so he was not happy. For him, meat to eat and wine to drink is enough.

As for Bo Xi Zhezhe, he was originally very sure in his heart, riding and shooting Sima this position, looking around the whole camp, who is the one who gives up me? But in a situation like today, he thought that if Yang Tingfeng really wanted to promote him, he could just call him alone. Now, in addition to Xiao Wolf and Mu Yunmo, he has found these people again, what does it mean?

Thinking of this, his heart is not so sure.

But after thinking about it, could it be that Captain Yang deliberately called a few people to be foils in order to avoid suspicion? Now, his heart is determined again.

Seeing that several people only cared about drinking and eating meat, and did not speak, Yang Tingfeng named and said: "Bo Xi Zhezhe, how has the delivery of Lenglongling Racecourse been implemented?" ”

When Bo Xi Zhezhe heard this, his heart lit up, Yang Tingfeng asked this, didn't it imply that the position of this 'riding and shooting Sima' could only be his? He immediately put down the dog meat, cleared his throat, and said to Yang Tingfeng: "My lord, the account books and forage have been handed over, as for the horse farm and the horses, they are ready to be delivered in the third year, and by then, these handed over war horses can only be foals." ”

"Three years? Also a foal? Yang Tingfeng was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say, "Why? ”

Bo Xi Zhezhe sighed in his heart, lowered his head and arched his hand: "According to what is said over there, it is this batch of military horses that has already been filed in the imperial court, and besides, this military horse needs three geng to be considered an adult, so ...... Therefore, it cannot be handed over for the time being. At first, the standard discussed that he wanted to come over some foals and put them near the camp to raise himself, but the head of the military and horse division did not agree, he was a member of the imperial court, and he was a direct subordinate of the Taifu Siqing, so there was no other way for the standard to go, so he had to go. ”

Yang Tingfeng wanted to scold people very much, but seeing Bo Xi Zhezhe's pitiful appearance, he couldn't scold for a while, and said angrily: "Who doesn't know that this group of dogs, with the war horses of the imperial court, sold the money, but it went into their own pockets,"

Xiao Wolf, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Of course, horses are their main income, and now they have to find another source of wealth, and they have to make a lot of money." ”

He Ruobi said heavily: "There is another point, if they keep their word and hand over the horse farm to us in three years, it will be fine....... I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that after three years, there will only be an empty shelf left in the Lenglongling Racecourse, and nothing will be left for us......"

When he said this, he was so angry that he felt a burst of excitement and drank a large bowl of mare's milk wine.

As soon as he said this, a few of the people present couldn't help but grow their heads for a while.

Yang Tingfeng tore off a large piece of dog meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and said firmly: "Since the old man handed over the horse farm to us, we have to think of a way to really take it." Otherwise, what good do I want it? At this point, he paused, and then added, "But remember, don't be hard." ”

The crowd shouted in unison, "No! ”

The first thing, Yang Tingfeng turned to He Ruobi and said, "Fu Bo (He Ruobi's character), about the cavalry training of soldiers, have you listed it recently?" ”

"That's it!" He Ruobi hurriedly put down the wine bowl and nodded, "Under the mark, the Three Kingdoms of the late Han Dynasty have been regulated recently; Even the tactics of all the border armies of the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, to the chaff and the essence, should be based on the white horse righteous military system, supplemented by the white-robed infantry, select the good shooter, with a double-headed iron spear, a strong bow and a fast horse, and practice the method of combining foot and horse. ”

The white horse righteous servant in He Ruobi's mouth is the elite cavalry under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Zhan, one of the heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", "Zhan is a good white horse, and he has been repeatedly multiplied by the captives, and the captives are called 'White Horse Generals'." Therefore, the elite 3,000 were selected, and they rode on a white horse, called 'White Horse Righteous Servant', and the actual guard was also. Zan often and dozens of people who are good at shooting, all riding white horses, thinking that they are left and right, and call themselves 'white horse righteous servants'. Wuhuan even told each other to avoid the long history of the white horse. ”

The Hu people were afraid of Zhan's white horse righteousness: "Every time Zhan fights with the captives, he often rides the white horse, chases without vain, and wins several victories, and the captives tell the clouds: 'Avoid the white horse'." ”

The above said: It was during the Guanghe period, the border was troubled, and the Wuhuan You rode the civil war in the Central Plains, and once went south to plunder the border people. At that time, the Hulu cavalry had a similar tactics to guerrilla warfare, attacking when they were weak and avoiding them if they wanted to be strong, which made the Han army unable to defend themselves.

Later, Changshi Gongsun Zan and dozens of guards encountered hundreds of Wuhuan cavalry, and Zan took the lead and killed dozens of people to break through. After that, Zan selected 3,000 elites, and the soldiers rode on white horses, and the white horses were righteous.

The white horse is righteous, the selection of good riding and good shooting, all the members are riding white horses, its speed is like flying, the momentum is very thunderous, the front is more than the shocking lightning, the accuracy of riding and shooting, several battles are victorious, the name of the white horse general spreads all over the world.

The Hu people were afraid of the white horse's righteousness, so they did not dare to go south.

Coincidentally, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a famous general of the Southern Dynasties, named Chen Qingzhi, because he and his subordinates wore white robes, so they were called the white robe army.

Later, Chen Qingzhi led 7,000 white-robed troops to conquer the north, and along the way, he won many with outnumbered, invincible, and beat the famous generals of the entire north at that time, and broke the Northern Wei army several times, as if entering a no-man's land.

Therefore, the nursery rhyme in Luoyang City says: "Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of soldiers avoid white robes." ”

It can be seen that whether they are riding a white horse or wearing a white robe, they are not ordinary soldiers.

Yang Tingfeng understood it, and dared to love that He Ruobi wanted to combine these two whites and combine foot and cavalry to train the army, so he didn't ask anymore, and turned to Bo Xi Zhezhe and said: "Bo Xi, what do you think?" ”

Bo Xi Zhezhe had already regarded this 'horse shooting Sima' as a thing in his bag, and immediately said: "In the battle of the boundary bridge, Bai Ma Yi was wiped out from the whole army, and the famous general Li Yi only brought dozens of strong crossbows and more than 100 halberd guards. More than ten miles away from the boundary bridge, arrows rained down, and more than 1,000 levels were beheaded in a battle, and the disadvantages were too great. Moreover, in terms of our battalion's current financial resources, horses, ordnance, etc., it is almost impossible to rebuild the White Horse Righteous Servant! Now that the war is approaching, it is thought that we should start anew, recruit people from the border people who are good at riding and shooting, form a new army of cavalry and archery, and train them to the maximum with as little financial and material resources as possible......"

Yang Tingfeng's eyes showed a look of appreciation, but he suddenly asked Yi Lou Da Zang, "Da Zang, what do you think?" ”

"My lord, according to the standard, two military training methods are fine!" Yi Luo Dazang hurriedly swallowed a large mouthful of meat, poured a large bowl of wine, wiped his hands, paused for a moment and said, "It's just my lord, this military training is too important, who will be in charge?" Also, who will be this Sima? Have you ever thought about it? ”

All of a sudden, he touched on the most sensitive personnel issue again, and Bo Xi Zhezhe and He Ruobi both held their breath.

Who will lead the training? How could Yang Tingfeng have thought about this thing ten times in his heart?

But he knows that this kind of thing, in addition to requiring fairness and justice, and convincing everyone, must also truly train combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Yang Tingfeng's eyes slowly swept towards the three people, "This Sima, not only must he be proficient in riding and archery, and he must be trained for a long time, but he must also be cautious and careful, and he has won the hearts of the army and has a very high prestige...... This lieutenant thought about it, but only ......"

He deliberately sold a pass, and everyone watched him.

"Only, He Ruobi, Bo Xi Zhezhe, and Yi Lou Dazang!" As soon as Yang Tingfeng's words came out, not only the three of them, but even Xiao Wolf and Mu Yunmo were very surprised!

He Ruobi and Bo Xi Zhezhe looked at each other, and Yang Tingfeng continued: "I will give carte blanche to the three of you about the training of soldiers, whether it is recruiting new soldiers or practicing with soldiers from the headquarters, when Lao Liangtou returns, I will give you two silver horses, ordnance and armor, and after three months, I will only see the results!" The winner will get the job of 'riding and arching Sima'! ”
