Although the city gate is closed, Gangjun is not wartime. As long as you pass the Jiangguan in front of you and cross the Mianshui Bridge, you will enter the boundary of Yangjun, and you can go directly to the county seat of Yangjun, the end point of the horseback riding competition. The soldiers guarding the gates were at the same rate as the dogs, but they were more greedy. The few gold coins left on Tu Hejin's body were gone, but the county seat of Yangjun in front of him was a lighthouse in the eternal night of the torrential rain.

It had already rained in the past few days, and the already muddy road was even more difficult to navigate at this moment. The rain, which usually has no effect on Tuhe Jin, who has a savage physique, also seems to have attack power at this moment, and his face is smashed on the horse. More than a hundred miles has never been a thing for Longyuan horses and Tuhe Jin, who is skilled in riding. But at this moment, the pain in the buttocks, the burning pain in the sides of the thighs, and the soreness in the lower back seemed to make the chest hurt somewhat.

I don't know how many dozen miles are still there, and Tu Hejin feels that something seems to have flashed in front of his eyes. Subconsciously reined in the horse and clenched the scimitar at his waist. Still, there was nothing but rain. A lot of light flashed in front of him, and the sudden stop made Tu Hejin seem to have a mountain on his chest, his breath became sweeter and sweeter, and he couldn't see if there was any red liquid being coughed up. There are more and more points of light, covering almost the entire world.

It seems that a thousand years have passed, but there is no difference in front of us.

The banner above the county seat of Yangjun suddenly appeared, and Tu Hejin no longer knew what time it was. But the sky was still dark and gloomy, but the six-zhang high city wall of Yangjun was still bright and terrifying, and it seemed that night would never fall. This time when he entered the city, Tu Hejin did not spend another gold coin, and he did not even say a word of nonsense.

The goalkeeper's rate told him that it was time to hit the ground running.

At this moment, King Liang was already dressed in military uniform, and the black and shiny armor added a bit of solemnity to him. Coupled with the face hewn by the knife and axe, it is even more majestic at this moment. But sitting on the throne, this kind of murderous aura can only make people feel scared and terrifying. At this moment, Xiao Yi, the king of Liang, did not wear a crown and did not wear a helmet. Looking down at Tu Hejin, who was dressed in dust below, a trace of unhappiness still rose in his heart. After all, the county seat of Yangjun is not as big as the Star City Palace, and there will be no dusty people or dirty people in the Star City Palace.

In less than two days. You galloped from Star City to Yangjun County, a distance of more than 1,000 miles, if you change to a large army and march, you have to march for a month. How did you do that? Xiao Yi's tone was like that of a kind old father asking his son if he had dinner, but at this time you were obviously a beat. The atmosphere was tense, and Tu Hejin felt that a boulder was pressed down, and his breathing was a little sluggish.

Back to His Highness, the army marched. They must bring heavy grain and grass, which is one of the reasons for their slow march. And I have a large number of foot soldiers in criminal state, and this time Tuhe is a fast horse galloping, which is the second. Tu Hejin took a deep breath and replied slowly.

Well, even if it's a fast horse. It is also rare that it will arrive in two days, and this king will only arrive today.

In vain Mariel, in vain the river is lucky.

Well, what reward do you want? It can be said. Liang Wang Xiaoyi nodded. As the master of the criminal state, and with the richest star city in the criminal state as a fief, the reward that King Liang can carry out is definitely not comparable to the reward that Tuhe Jin has received before. For Tu Hejin, his martial arts talent is average, and he is not from a wealthy clan, and his literature is even worse. This reward may be once in a lifetime.

Give me horses, armor, spears, scimitars, bows and arrows. At this moment, Tuhe's heart has become calm, and the world seems to have become calm and real. The head that had been kept down was also raised at this moment and looked at King Liang on the throne. It seems that at this moment, the lord of the criminal state has become no longer terrifying.

Okay, go down and rest. Lu Ming, take him to get these tomorrow, and retreat. King Liang didn't dwell too much on this issue.

After everyone retreated, Mr. Yu slowly walked out of the background.

What is the opinion of this person, sir. Let's talk about it. Xiao Yi was already a little tired, and even wanted to lean on the throne. But he was dressed in armor.

This person's name is Tuhe Jin, and he is the son-in-law of the Tuhe family. Seventh-level fighting spirit, with the blood of the barbarians of the Dragon Kingdom and the blood of the elves. The Tuhe family has always been good at riding and archery, and Tuheqing was a powerful general when he was in the Dragon Kingdom in the past. It's a pity that he is not Emperor Wu's opponent after all, after attaching himself to Emperor Wu, Tu Heqing is still making many meritorious achievements, but Tu Heqing's eldest son Tu Heqiang is a weak person. After the death of Tuheqing, he took his main troops to the south with the ancestor and became the general of Zixin.

Well, the Tuhe family's power is declining day by day. It is only fitting to concentrate royal power. Xiao Yi nodded.

Lord, there are many people who are good at riding and archery in the Tuhe clan. It is suitable for training the new army and training the iron cavalry. However, the allegiance of the Tuhe clan also needs to be slowly drawn. And with Huairou's plan as the top, although I Guantuhe is a general cultivator, he is by no means a mediocre person. According to the news along the line, in order to win the championship, this person actually ran so much, which shows the firmness of this person's heart. And the reward that the lord just asked, he did not ask for gold and silver, but only for sharp weapons, which shows that he is eager to make meritorious contributions. And his father's disciple Heqiang is indeed a weak man, a drunken man. Therefore the king may take it for his own use.

Well, that's right. It seems that in this riding and archery ceremony, Mr. Yu seems to have the intention of promoting talents for the new army of this king.

It is not only the new army, but also the new policy, the recovery of the old land, and the restoration of the glory of the former Great Hebei Empire. Mr. Yu said excitedly.

Well, his reward should not be too light this time. Tomorrow I asked Lu Ming to go to the treasury to choose well, recently there were some weapons and armor made of magic from the East China Sea, and some good horses from the west last year, this time they were all up to him. There is also this person's old clothes, presumably not having enough money, Mr. Yu, go back and greet him for this king. If you need it, you can go directly to the king's treasury and get it. Now let's take a look at Huading Mountain.

No, the military situation that Huading Mountain can report will not be too late tomorrow. But at this time, it is a good time to inspect the city defenses. First, you can find out the real combat power of the soldiers and horses of Yangjun, and second, you can also establish Enwei in the army. In the future, when the new army is built, the lord must also inspect it often. Otherwise, all the things will be handled by the generals, and the soldiers will only know the generals but not the masters. Mr. Yu insisted, he knew that Xiao Yi had only arrived in Yang County today, and he had checked the treasury for war preparedness. Then I looked at the people's livelihood. Today is very tired, and although Xiao Yi was born in a year of war. But it has always been long in the deep palace, with fine clothes and fine food. At such an hour, I have to go to inspect the military situation. For Xiao Yi, the requirements are a bit excessive.

Well, that's what Mr. said.

Over the next two days, the princes and protons arrived one after the other. Tuhejin's victory in the horseback riding competition also caused a lot of turmoil in their hearts, but after all, the two armies faced each other, and there was still an archery competition that had not been carried out. But there was no incident. Everyone is thinking about the next archery competition, and they are looking for strong bows and arrows, and frequently go in and out of the school field to practice archery.

Ah Jin, you really got out of the limelight this time. The horse riding competition is two days away. I've been running for three days, and my waist is almost broken. When you look back, you must remember to treat yourself. Luo Le patted Tu Hejin on the shoulder and said, he is from Huaijun Town, and Tu Hejin is generally a general. And Luo Le's background is even lower, he is a concubine, and there are many brothers in the family. In Luo Le's heart, he came to Star City to join the company. However, he is more like a barbarian than Tuhe, and his height of nearly seven feet is extremely tall in the north.

Ah Le, let's practice archery well. If you win, you'll have to hire me. Tuhe replied with a smile, though he didn't quite want to admit it. In the Proton Mansion, he has the closest relationship with Luo Le. may be the reason for the similarity of the two identities, and in the must-go banquets and activities of the Proton Mansion, the two of them are the objects of ridicule together. However, the difference is that Luo Le's mentality is extremely open-minded. For him, as long as the wine and meat are enough. Every day is happy.

No matter how hard you try, you have to eat. Let's go, let's go have a drink. Luo Le put his hand on Tu Hejin's shoulder, and he didn't have a good airway. There was no way, Tu Hejin had to follow Ah Le to the restaurant in the city.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Luo Le still kept talking about where the wine and food were good in this Yangjun City. The difference between a Yangjun woman and a Star City woman. Of course, the poor Ah Le actually didn't have much money to go to the land of fireworks and lose his soul. In addition to quickly eliminating the food on the table, Tu Hejin's eyes kept flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, a plain-clothed man appeared in front of him, and he sat down straight, it was Mr. Yu.

Hello two, my name is Bai Feng. I don't know, can I float with the two of you.

Tu Hejin is not a person who rejects people thousands of miles away, and Luo Le has someone to drink with, so naturally he will not refuse. Immediately beckoned to sit down. Tu Hejin didn't say anything, but Luo Le continued the topic of wine and meat beauties with great enthusiasm. And this Mr. Yu also seems to be quite knowledgeable.

Until Luo Le was already drunk and seemed to be about to fall to the ground. This brought the topic of Tu Hejin's drowsiness to an end.

Tu He wanted to help Luo Le return to the post house, but Mr. Yu beckoned his subordinates to help him up, and told him to send him back to the post house, obviously having something to say to himself. Tu He waited for him to speak.

Under the entrustment of Lu Ming, the head of the palace, he sent a reward from the palace. Weapons and armor have been placed in your room in the inn, and from today onwards, you will no longer have to live with them, there will be a separate room. Now go check out your mount? Mr. Yu arched his hand.

Mr. Xie Bai. With that, they followed him into the carriage. To tell the truth, Tuhe lived for twenty years. But the number of horse-drawn carriage rides is only a handful.

I don't know what Gongzi Tuhe thinks of the beauties of Yang County, Jiang County, and Star City? Which ladies do you like the most? Mr. Yu continued the previous topic.

Lord Xiao Yu is the most beautiful. Tu He replied lightly, although he didn't have the gossip like Luo Le, but as a man, all kinds of news would still take the initiative to run to his ears on weekdays.

Oh, but the ninth daughter of King Liang, the lord of Xiao Yu who studied at the magic school? Well, I've seen it a few times. It really captivates the country and the city. What about the other women? Bai Suxin of Yufenglou, Huahaitang is like jade, what about Yin Yixin of Yirenzhan? Mr. Yu successively cited several famous flowers of Star City that often appeared in the mouths of princes and dignitaries to explore the reaction of the disciple Hejin.

They, step down from Nuer. Is it worth mentioning in Mr. Bai's mouth? Tu Hejin said a little impatiently, these famous flowers. Naturally, it often appeared in his ears, but those places were never something that Tuhe Jin could consume today. If you want to say that you don't want to bring it into the room, Tu He must have thought of it. But he was a little dissatisfied, after all, the son-in-law of the Tuhe family was also a nobleman of the Great Ji Empire. If you want to talk about whether to share a bed with those fireworks girls, Tu Hejin is always a little irritable in his heart.

Oh, the noble daughter of Huang Jue, the noble daughter of Cai Ling, and the noble daughter of Lu Lu. What does the son of Tuhe say?

Each has its own merits.

How

Huang's little bird is human, gentle as water. Cai's temperament is noble, and Lu's is virtuous.

It's also incisive, I don't know what the prince of Tuhe thinks about the current situation? Mr. Yu's words changed, and there seemed to be a glint in his eyes.

Tu Hejin has limited knowledge, so he can only offer ugliness.

But it doesn't hurt to say that.

My penal state spans thousands of miles and has millions of people. At the time of the first lord, there were hundreds of thousands of troops. Xingcheng, Jiangjun and Chajun control the big river and take advantage of fishing and salt shipping. Yang County, Lu County, and Nanjun are also at the meeting place of various states in the world. Therefore, its land, its capital, and its soldiers can dominate the world.

Well, that's a good point. Can you tell me why my lord can only settle in this corner of the southern region now?

Don't dare to say.

It doesn't matter, this is the order of King Liang. If you answer to my satisfaction, I can satisfy you.

Mr. Yu threw out a jade plaque made of Yanyu, which was tattooed with the god of the Xiao clan of Daji, with a five-clawed golden dragon under the god and the word "King Liang" on the back. King Liang's order is not trivial in the territory of Penal State. It is almost equivalent to the arrival of the king of Liang himself. At least as far as Tuhe knows. Zhan Shi Lu Ming did not have the order of King Liang, and several princes did not know if there was one. Tuhe couldn't help but secretly get nervous, although this person had already identified himself. But obviously, his identity is far more important than that of the understated Lu Ming. In this way, it is almost equivalent to the king of Liang giving an order to let Tu He Jin talk about the current situation.

The soldiers and horses of the criminal state are on the military register, and the soldiers and horses of the criminal state are 440,000. But in fact, King Liang can only dispatch 60,000 soldiers and horses in Xingcheng, 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangjun, and 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yangjun. Although there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the counties of Jiangnan, Huai County and Zixin County. However, the military equipment is outdated, the military system is also chaotic, and the thieves in Yishan are in trouble, and the soldiers and horses in the two places cannot be mobilized. However, 100,000 elites in Nanjun and Lujun fell into the hands of the East China Sea due to the changes in Jingshan that year. Therefore, the current situation of the lord is very dangerous, whether it is the Yan thieves in the north, the Western army in the northwest, or the court in the East China Sea. Each side just has to go up. I will die.

Well, not bad. In your opinion. Where is the cause of my penal state? Mr. Yu's eyes showed a dark look of satisfaction.

The military system is outdated, the arms are single, and the generals are unplanned.

Let's be specific. Mr. Yu was from a family background, and was obviously very interested in this kind of military strategy proposed by the son of Jiangmen.

First, the military system of our criminal state is still a military system with a mixture of troops and official and military forces. Private soldiers and public soldiers are all under the command of the town general. During the war, the town generals mostly used officers and soldiers as cannon fodder to reduce the casualties of their own troops. And under the same combat strength, the military salary and war preparation are not complete. Therefore, although the criminal state has a large number of troops, it is especially rich in internal friction.

Second, there are too many infantry and not enough cavalry in our criminal state, and only the land of Jiangjun Xingcheng has a naval army. Although the waterways of our penal state are very dense, its actual plains are very wide. In the wilderness, the cavalry is strong. And our criminal state cavalry is not only few, but also poor combat effectiveness. In the four counties of Xingbei, once the natural danger of Liangying Mountain is lost, our army on the field will inevitably be lambs to the slaughter.

Third, most of the generals in our criminal state are hereditary town generals, although King Liang set up a general's mansion to select new generals. However, the selection method is single, mainly based on the level of vindictiveness and the rank. That's why many of the generals in our criminal state have the courage of a horseman, but they have no strategy for the generals.

Not bad, not bad, not bad.

In your opinion, the new army should be trained. And it is dominated by cavalry. Mr. Jade continued, and began to spread in the direction he wanted.

Yes, and the imperial court should set up its own horse farm, unify the military order, and the style of weapons. Military merit is the only criterion for rewarding and punishing soldiers for promotion.

The insight is really good, and you all know it. This time, King Liang personally presided over the cavalry and archery ceremony, the purpose of which was to increase the cavalry for self-defense. and slowly plotted to recover the old land in the north. I don't know that after the coming-of-age ceremony, the prince of Tuhe returned to Zixin County. Or will he serve in the DPRK and China.

Mr. Yu's tone was as flat as ever. Tuhe thought about countless ways to choose the first major choice in his life, but sitting in the carriage like this, making a choice in a few words was a way he had never thought of. But this choice is actually not difficult to make, Zixin County is barren. Half of the 8,000 parts are actually still responsible for farming, and his father, Heqiang, is not dead yet. I went back, but I was still a dog. Even if there is no solicitation from Mr. Yu today, it is so straightforward and explicit. King Liang wanted to expand the new army and urgently needed the support of the backbone. He would also choose to stay in Star City.

Naturally, it is to stay in Star City.

Okay, you can take this token. If this time, you can win another round in the Mounted Archery Competition. You can go and meet the owner of this token. Now go and choose your warhorse, I still have important business. I won't accompany him much. After getting out of the carriage, Mr. Yu said goodbye.

He had also learned the art of Soma since he was a child, and at once he chose a six-foot-tall horse, which was black, with rich hair and long and thick legs. It was obviously a horse from the Western Army.

The horse's name was Dragler. The groom said respectfully.

Dragler, the majestic warhorse, seems to have brought excitement to his gloomy life. In addition, Mr. Yu just now seems to have a flatbread and wooing. Tu Hejin seemed to be surging in his heart at this time, can he win against Hua Ming? It seems impossible before today, but what about after today?
