Chapter 22: Shen Yi's Horse
Chapter 22: Shen Yi's Horse
Qu Gao had more than once dreamed of wearing armor and fighting the Hu people on the battlefield. Since he was a child, he was nurtured by his father and ancestors, so that he was extremely clear about black and white, good and evil, and also generated an unyielding will in his bones. He wanted to go to war, but he didn't join the army like his father.
He doesn't want to, and he doesn't like to fight for meritorious service, and he doesn't want to be a lifelong nobody like his father and ancestors, driven by various generals, his ideal appearance should be a happy grudge, seeing the Hu people bullying the Jin people, he drew his sword and fought bloodily, killing Hu is not for merit, not for fame, but for the blood that is still retained in the body. How could the dignified and orthodox Jin dynasty be bullied by the barbarians and have no power to fight back!
The righteousness on Qu Gao's body, Chang Fuhai once said: This is what the people in the rivers and lakes call a hero. The so-called chivalry is to help the weak without asking for anything in return, to be virtuous and righteous, to be faithful and brave, not afraid of power, and to dare to do things! With Qu Gao's previous performance, it can indeed correspond.
Zhong Lijun was promoted to a position, became a commander of ten, and picked ten new brave soldiers in the recruit training camp, and couldn't wait to bring them to Qu Gao, who was as energetic as if he had become a general.
The ten recruits were about the same age as him, all fifteen or sixteen years old, and most of them were not strong, but they stood upright, looked firm, and were in good spirits. Qu Gao knows that the people who can be sent to the new barracks are the children of ordinary people, these people are not pampered, they are not above the top, they know their goals very well, and they will definitely fight for it, not for anything else, just to survive.
For this alone, Qu Gao was very satisfied. These recruits have just entered the camp, they have not experienced bloody battles, martial arts can be practiced, their physique can be strong, as long as they are determined, they will definitely become useful materials in the future!
The recruit camp is equipped with basic swords for everyone, Zhong Lijun is not proficient in swordsmanship, and he also wants Qu Gao to help guide the training, how could Qu Gao take on such a boring thing? He wants to accompany the Zhang family, and he has to help Zhu Yan take care of the business when he is free, these days Qu Gao has constantly asked a few sons of the scholar clan to go to Changle Fang to drink and have fun, Changle Fang's business is very good, these sons have a good temperament, and they are generous, and the girls are waiting for Qu Gao to take them more.
"Jun'er, your family's marksmanship is already a subtle martial art, you can teach them, learn from each other in the future, and you can also improve more, besides, if you really go to the battlefield one day, the weapon is an inch long and an inch strong, so that the gun has a great advantage!" Qu Gao patted Zhong Lijun on the shoulder and said these words, and when he saw that the latter wanted to cry without tears, he comforted him again: "I will do the equipment, and I won't care about the rest." You've grown up and have to learn to do a lot of things on your own. ”
Zhongli Jun said goodbye to Qu Gao in amusement, and did not appear again for several days.
On this day, Qu Gao came out of the Weapons Bureau in a car, and saw Shen Yi hanging listlessly on the horse, so he asked the driver to drive closer, and through the car window, Qu Gao carried him into the car with one hand. Getting up and sitting firmly, Shen Yi stroked his chest and gasped: "Brother Qu shocked Ah Yi!" Qu Gao said: "You can't keep your soul, what do you want to do with the sister-in-law of Changle Fang?" After returning from Beishan, Qu Gao often took Shen Yi to Changle Fang to eat and drink, and after coming and going, the two became acquainted, and Shen Yi was not so afraid of Qu Gao.
Shen Yi said: "Brother Qu, don't make trouble, my father wants me to marry Lu's Aning, and my younger brother is worried." "Lu's Aning? It was the woman who supported Chen Xuan at the foot of Qingxiu Peak that day, Qu Gao recalled that Lu Shi had a thick wave in his eyes when he looked at Wang Shou. He asked, "What?" You don't like Lu? ”
Shen Yi had a bitter face and frowned: "Then the Lu family loves Wang Lang, everyone knows it, if I marry her, won't they make fun of me?" ”
Qu Gao pondered for a while, nodded his head, and said calmly: "It's not good to wear green on the top!" Shen Yi was annoyed, snorted heavily, don't look over, and saw that there was a ten standard cold light and bright thistle spear at the bottom of the compartment, his face turned pale, and he covered his mouth and said, "Brother Qu wants to rebel?" ”
Qu Gao looked serious and nodded: "Yes!" Everything is ready now, and there are only ten good horses left! Shen Yi's face instantly fell, and he cried with a crying voice: "I knew that it would be a good thing to meet you, my family's horse farm has just entered ten good horses." ”
When Qu Gao heard this, his eyes lit up, swallowed the saliva that flowed to his lips, put his hand on Shen Yi's shoulder, and said heavily: "Go to Changle Fang first to relax, and I will be the east today!" ”
The wine and meat were down, Shen Yi's face was flushed, and he forgot about his troubles. "Tell me about you, you are also so attentive to a little ten-captain, that fine iron thistle gun, but a high-quality weapon, you actually hit ten handles, and my horse, and you will get two thousand silver for the reserve price."
Qu Gao smiled in response, it did cost a lot this time, and he could reorganize his team into lancers and horses by equipping Zhong Lijun's ten pawns with spears and horses. The Jin people are no better than the Hu people who live on nomadism, are rich in good horsemen, and the military system is mostly cavalry. Since the loss of Hebei land, the Southern Dynasty has few horses to produce land, the cavalry is even more pitiful, Xiangyang is coherent in all directions, and there are only 1,000 light horsemen in the city.
The cavalry has unrivaled speed and impact, and is undoubtedly the most powerful existence on the battlefield, but the cost of training is too high, and the southerners are not good at horse warfare, so there are few cavalry in the southern dynasties.
In the past ten years, the stragglers of the Hu people have done evil everywhere, and no one dares to plant fields in the north, no one dares to walk on roads, and the people are not happy! Although those rangers are not orthodox armies, and their combat power is mediocre, but to ordinary people, they are like ghosts and evil ghosts, coming and going without a shadow, but they do nothing evil. Qu Gao thought early on that the Hu people could not only let the stragglers do evil, but also the Jin people could use their own way to give back to them. The Jin army only needs to train dozens of rangers, each team of more than a dozen people, wandering the north, encountering scattered Hu people will face the head attack, and when encountering the Hu army, they will retreat and wander.
It was just a fantasy before, but now that Zhong Lijun happened to have a team in his hands, Qu Gao couldn't wait and supported it at any cost.
Shen Yi saw Qu Gao and Ao pondering, was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Regret it, right?" It is a pity that Brother Qu is so heroic to equip a team of Ding soldiers with such sophisticated equipment, but he uses an ordinary iron sword! ”
Qu Gao raised his eyebrows and said: "Ah Yi still has a famous product in his hand?" ”
Shen Yi was drunk, shook his head and said, "I don't have it, you don't have the idea of beating me again!" Suddenly, he came over and whispered: "However, I know that there is a peerless sword in Xiangyang City!" ”
