Everyone laughed, and Yelu Hanyu laughed even more, and teased: "Li Zheng, are you a horse?" ”

"I'm not a horse!" "Then why are you looking for the mother-in-law over there?" Li Zheng smiled and said, "Didn't you say that I look ugly!" I want to find a mother-in-law over there to have a handsome son! The crowd laughed again. Yang Peng smiled and patted Li Zheng's shoulder, "When I have a chance in the future, I will definitely find you a mother-in-law over there!" Li Zheng's eyes lit up, "Big brother, let's make up our minds, don't lie to me Li Zheng!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded.

Turned around and walked to the side of the horse, such a close distance felt even more shocking, the height of the horse's back was actually as tall as Yang Peng's, Yang Peng stood next to it as if facing a wall! Turning his head, he asked John, "Does this horse have any advantages besides being huge?" John excitedly said, "There are so many advantages! It can carry a lot of weight, and the speed of short-range charging is amazing, and the stamina is very good! ”

Yang Peng laughed; "Wouldn't it be perfect, then?" John nodded, looked at the horse in front of him with sparkling eyes and said: "This is definitely the most perfect war horse in human history, it is a symbol of beauty, a perfect combination of speed and strength!" ”

Jerod Hanyu was amazed to see John face a horse in such a manner. He looked at the huge horse and asked, "How many such horses are there now?" John said, "There are already 3,000 horses that can be used!" Yelu Hanyu said excitedly: "You can already form a cavalry team!" Yang Peng nodded, looking at the huge war horse in front of him, he felt that the mount used to make the Formation-Breaking Iron Horse was really perfect!

"John, you have done a great job, and I will reward you well!" John was very tall Yang Peng said that he would reward him, his blue eyes lit up, and he quickly knelt down to thank him; "Thank you, King!" Then he glanced at Wang Laozhi on the side, "King, in fact, this is not all the credit of the minister, but also thanks to Wang Laozhi's herbs!" ......" It was the first time Yang Peng had heard about this matter, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Laozhi on the side.

Wang Laozhi smiled and clenched his fists and said, "I haven't had time to tell the sect leader about this yet." Before, I occasionally remembered that an ancient horse breeding book recorded many prescriptions that were very beneficial to horses, so I prepared a few pills for John to try, but I didn't expect the effect to be very good, the horses that took the medicine obviously grew faster than ordinary horses, and the physique was stronger, and John immediately popularized the use of it in all horse farms. At this time, John had already stood up, nodded and said, "That's what Wang Laozhi said." Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "You guys did a good job!" ”

After a pause, "John, bring all these horses with me, and come with me to the army!" John hurriedly responded, suddenly remembered something, and said to Yang Peng: "King, this kind of horse is called 'Yanwang Horse'!" Yang Peng laughed and said, "This is the name you obtained?" John nodded. Yelu Hanyu smiled: "This name is not bad! The beautiful eyes glanced at Yang Peng, pursed her lips and smiled, and she didn't know what funny things she was thinking. John couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Yelu Hanyu's smile, don't blame him, if you want to blame him, you can only blame Yelu Hanyu, it's so charming!

Wang Laozhi noticed John's expression and secretly gave him an elbow. John came back to his senses and hung his head in a hurry.

Soon after, John led his subordinates to drive 3,000 Yan Wang horses and followed Yang Peng and others to the barracks of the directly subordinate legions outside the city. Although John was already an official of the Yan Wang's Mansion, it was the first time he entered the barracks of the Yanyun Army, and everything in front of him made him very curious, his first impression was that the barracks of the Yanyun Army were much neater than the barracks of their Western army, and the atmosphere seemed to be more serious, without the slightest sound of laughter and fighting, which was really unimaginable!

Walking through the alley composed of tents to the edge of the school field, I saw a huge square, thousands of shirtless strong soldiers were practicing martial arts, everyone was sweating like rain, murderous, and their movements were uniform and magnificent. John's eyes widened in shock.

Hu Yan Bi, the commander of the Broken Formation Army, greeted him, hugged his fists and bowed: "The last general will meet King Yan!" Immediately, his eyes stared at the huge Yan Wang horses behind Yang Peng and them, and they couldn't take their eyes off anymore, as if they had seen the most charming beauty.

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Don't look at it, these horses are to be equipped for you to break the formation!" Huyan Biqi was overjoyed, "Really!? Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Glancing at the soldiers who were training on the school ground, he said to Huyan Biqi: "Let the soldiers stop training and come over and assemble in full clothes!" Huyan Bi said yes, ran back to the school field, and shouted: "Stop training!" Come and gather in full clothes! Thousands of soldiers stopped at the same time, and in unison, thousands of people seemed to be one person, and then quickly began to put on the pile of heavy armor and battle robes placed in front of them. John was stunned and incredulous.

Moments later, thousands of Breaker soldiers were dressed and assembled. Thousands of tall and heavily armored soldiers lined up there, it was really like a big mountain, exuding an invisible heavy pressure! Huyan Bi rushed back to Yang Peng, hugged his fists and said, "King Yan, everyone has been assembled!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, glanced at the fierce soldiers in front of him, and saw that their eyes were the same as Huyan Bi Qi just now, and they were aiming at the 'Yan Wang Horse' one by one. Yang Peng smiled: "Don't drool!" These horses are for you! Everyone became excited, and a sergeant raised his voice and asked, "King Yan, are you telling the truth?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "When did Lao Tzu lie to you? The soldiers laughed. The first battalion, out of the ranks! Yang Peng shouted. The five hundred sergeants standing in front of the left side of the entire army formation immediately stepped forward and looked at Yang Peng, waiting for orders. Yang Peng turned his head to John and said, "Lead five hundred horses out!" John immediately ordered his men to bring five hundred horses.

Yang Peng ordered: "The first battalion listens to the order, and these five hundred horses will be handed over to you, give you a stick of incense time to prepare, and then go to the training ground for rushing and killing!" Five hundred people shouted excitedly in unison, and then immediately came and led the horse down, put on the bridles, put on the saddle, and the movements were very skillful, but those bridle and saddle were not tailor-made for the 'Yanwang Horse', they were too small, and they looked very awkward.

Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu, Wang Laozhi, Li Zheng, Huyan Biqiu, John and others first came to the viewing platform on the side of the training ground next to the barracks. In front is a large open flat land, on the right is the military camp, and on the left stands thousands of densely arranged scarecrows, all of whom are wearing the clothes of the Khitan army, and the front row is also holding the most common kind of leather shield in the Khitan army. John, who had seen this for the first time, was very curious.

Yang Peng asked John, "How do you knights in the West train to rush and kill?" John thought for a moment and said, "It's just a charge to assassinate the scarecrow...... and Jeremy Hanyu asked, "Like this?" John hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no, it's not like this, it's a scarecrow!" Yelu Hanyu asked strangely, "Don't you all conduct group charge training?" John shook his head.

At this time, the gate of the barracks on the right opened, and five hundred iron horsemen riding the 'Yanwang Horse' rushed out, and a horizontal charge formation of heavy armored cavalry was opened with their backs against the barracks, and the five hundred cavalry were arranged in three horizontal rows. Although they had not yet charged, they had already exuded a huge pressure that made people breathless, making people feel as if they were facing a majestic mountain! Yelu Hanyu exclaimed: "Although it is not equipped with a vest yet, its momentum has already surpassed that of before!" Yang Peng nodded, and couldn't help but eagerly want to see the power of their charge, and quickly turned his head and nodded at Huyan Biqi.

Huyan Biqi understood, and immediately raised his right hand towards the five hundred iron horsemen. Seeing this, the five hundred iron horsemen immediately prepared to charge, and everyone couldn't help but get excited, and a terrifying bloodthirsty murderous aura emanated!

Huyan Bi slammed his hand to the left. The five hundred iron horsemen let out a roar like a thunderbolt, and then the five hundred iron horsemen rushed up, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, and swept away towards the imaginary enemy battle formation! When John was in the west, the cavalry charges he saw were all chaotic and large, and he had never seen such a strict formation in front of him, and he couldn't stop trembling!

The ironclad cavalry rushed to the front of the 'enemy' army formation, and waved their heavy maces one after another, so the iron cavalry below was surging, and the big sticks were flying above, and in the blink of an eye, the very strict formation composed of thousands of scarecrows was almost completely leveled! There were only a few scarecrows left, standing in their original places, looking very miserable!

Yang Peng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!" Before putting on the vest, the speed, momentum, and impact power have far surpassed the previous ironclad war horse! Huyan Biqi said excitedly: "Such an ironclad warrior can definitely wipe out any strong enemy!" Li Zheng said enviously: "Big brother, can you equip my Modao Army with such a war horse?" ”

Yang Peng said angrily: "The Modao Army is infantry, what do you want horses to do?" Li Zheng pursed his lips, "Big brother is eccentric!" Why can't the infantry ride horses? We can ride on horseback, and when we get to the battlefield, we can dismount and fight! ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, he suddenly thought of a legend, the legend said that the elite infantry of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be such a way of fighting, riding horses and maneuvering, dismounting to fight. Yelu Hanyu pondered: "Li Zheng's idea is not impossible. It's just that the number of war horses is limited at the moment, and it is impossible to equip them with infantry at all! Yang Peng smiled: "Little sister is right. Li Zheng, when there are enough war horses in the future, I will be the first to equip you! ”

Li Zheng was very excited. Everyone was about to leave, but found that John was still standing in place and did not move, Li Zheng shouted angrily: "Huang Mao, what are you still standing there for?" Then he smiled evilly: "Aren't you reluctant to give up those horses?" John shook his head. The crowd was even more surprised, and they returned to him, and saw John's pale face as if something was wrong. Yang Peng was very surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you?" John swallowed his saliva and said very embarrassedly: "No, it's nothing, it's just, it's just that my feet are a little trembling and I can't move!" ”

Li Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "You have a lot of things to do with your yellow hair!" Inexplicable feet can tremble! John glanced at the Iron Riders who were returning in the distance, "No, it's not inexplicable, I'm just, just a little shocked!" ”

Everyone followed his gaze and understood, Li Zheng laughed unceremoniously: "You yellow hair is scared after a long time!" What a frustration! John blushed and argued: "We don't have such an army in the West, and if we suddenly see it, we will naturally be very shocked!" What's so strange about that! Li Zheng pursed his lips, "It's obviously a frustration for birds, and you have to quibble!" Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "Li Zheng shut up!" Li Zheng smacked his lips and stopped talking.

Yang Peng asked John, "What is the army of the West like?" In your opinion, who is stronger than our Yan Yunjun? ”

John said without thinking: "Naturally, the Yanyun Army is strong!" I've never seen such a strong army! "John felt that 'tough' alone was not enough to describe how the army felt about him. Everyone smiled, and Yang Peng pointed to the Broken Formation Iron Cavalry outside, "With such five hundred Broken Formation Iron Cavalry, how many Western cavalry do you think you can deal with?" John thought for a moment, "Well, I don't know much about the military. However, I don't think it would be a big problem for such a 500 cavalry to deal with a thousand Western cavalry. Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look.

Not long after, Yang Peng and the others left the barracks, and the three thousand 'Yanwang horses' they brought with them naturally stayed in the barracks. Immediately, Yang Peng went to the armory field and instructed Ling Zhen to send someone to measure the physique of the 'Yan Wang Horse' in order to make a suitable horse armor and saddle bridle. Ling Zhen immediately called the person in charge of the armor workshop and ordered him to lead people to the military camp to measure Yan Wangma.

Yang Peng was strolling in the armory, accompanied by Ling Zhen and others, and from time to time people who were busy passing in front of Yang Peng saluted Yang Peng. "I came today mainly to see the progress of the new gunboat. What do you think? Is there any good news for me? Yang Peng smiled. Ling Zhen smiled mysteriously, "King Yan, Madam, please come with me." Then he led Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu and others towards the shipyard by the river.

As soon as the group entered the shipyard, they saw a huge warship with a very unique shape docked on the largest slipway, which was basically completed, but there were still many workers doing surface painting and other work. Yelu Hanyu was taken aback, "The appearance of this very warship is so strange!" Yang Peng stared at the warship, looking very excited, "That's a real gunboat!" "The warship on the slipway is different from all the warships in the East from ancient times to the present, it looks very similar to the sailing gunboats of the West in the sixteenth century, with a displacement of 700 tons, and there are three layers of gun emplacements on both sides of the hull, which can be equipped with thirty-six cannons, which is far more powerful than all the current warships, this is definitely an epoch-making weapon, which appeared more than 400 years earlier than similar weapons in history.

"Excellent! I just drew a rough drawing, but I didn't expect you to make it! Very good! Ling Zhen smiled happily. How many of these gunboats are being built now? When will it be ready for use? "There are six of them. It is estimated that it will be handed over to the water army in a month! ”

Yang Peng nodded, frowned, and said, "It's a pity that it's a little less!" Ling Zhen immediately took the opportunity and said, "The main reason is that the funds are insufficient!" Yelu Hanyu smiled: "You really seized the opportunity to ask the eldest brother for money!" Ling Zhen was very embarrassed. Yang Peng laughed and patted Ling Zhen on the shoulder, "I will discuss the matter of funds with Qian Letian and them, and I will allocate it to you as soon as possible!" Ling Zhen was very pleased, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Do you still have any problems that I need to help you solve?" Ling Zhen thought for a while, "It's nothing else, it's just that iron and steel have been out of stock from time to time recently, which makes me very annoyed!" Yang Peng frowned and said, "How can this be?" I remember that when the Hebei Zhulu was recovered, many mines fell into our hands, how could there be a shortage of supplies? ”

Ling Zhen hurriedly said: "Although there are many mines, there is a lack of workers to excavate!" "Lack of workers? Could it be that you are deducting workers' wages? Ling Zhen was startled, and hurriedly said, "Even if there are ten subordinates, they will never dare to do such a thing!" "What's going on? Why are workers reluctant to work in the mines? Ling Zhen sighed and said with a wry smile; It's only to blame the place under the rule of King Yan that life is too good! Ordinary people don't want to do the dangerous work of mining for that little money! ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled: "According to what you say, isn't it the sin of the eldest brother!" Ling Zhen realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Subordinate, subordinate never has this meaning, subordinate means, it is ......"

Yang Peng smiled: "Okay, okay, my little sister is joking with you, what are you nervous about?" Besides, what does it matter if you just complain about me! Ling Zhen smiled awkwardly. Yang Peng pondered: "Since the people are unwilling to work in the mines, let's improve the salary." Ling Zhen said urgently: "The salary is already very high!" Today, the wages of the workers in the mines are basically the same as those of the handymen in the city! Yang Peng smiled: "Don't be such an iron rooster!" Mining is very dangerous work, so let's improve it a little more! Ling Zhen frowned and said, "In this case, I'm afraid that the overall expenses will go up, and I'm afraid that the money now won't be enough!" In addition, in this way, the price of civilian tools is bound to rise, but I am afraid that it is not a good thing for the people! ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "What you said also makes sense!" What to do about this? Yelu Hanyu remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, it's better to send all the Liao prisoners to the mines to mine!" "In fact, there are tens of thousands of Liao captives who are mining now, but that was only a decision made by Yang Peng against the tens of thousands of Khitan troops captured by Han Bing before, and it was not promoted in all places, so there are still more than 60,000 Liao captives imprisoned in various places.

Yang Peng's eyes lit up, "I actually forgot about this stubble!" I remember that there were more than 60,000 captives, and if all of them were used for mining, it would be enough, right? Look at Ling Zhen. Ling Zhen nodded hurriedly, "Absolutely enough!" "Well, that's it! Give these captives to the local governments and let them mine! At the same time, I also have to tell those captives to reform well, as long as they are honestly reformed for five years, I will give them back their freedom! ”

Yelu Hanyu asked in surprise, "Big brother, are you serious?" Yang Peng smiled: "Of course it's true!" If they have their own hope, they will work honestly and conscientiously! Yelu Hanyu felt that what Brother Yang Peng said seemed to make sense. Yang Peng said to Ling Zhen: "Tell your subordinates, don't abuse these captives, don't be too bad at food or anything!" Think of them as oxen plowing the fields, and if the oxen lose weight, they won't be able to work, you know! "Yes, my subordinates remember."

The group left the armory yard and returned to the Liushou Mansion, which was already late in the evening. When passing by the gate of the princess's mansion, they suddenly heard the familiar sound of the piano rippling out of the princess's mansion, and Yang Peng and the others couldn't help but restrain their horses. Yang Peng listened carefully, and the sound of the piano was melodious and tactful, making people seem to see the desolate desert, the lone swordsman and the peerless beauty who was alone in the desolate castle. Yang Peng said in surprise: "Isn't this "Touching the Fish: Yanqiu Ci"? How could it be ......? ”

Yelu Hanyu said with jealousy: "Speaking of this matter, big brother, you are really too partial!" The second monk Yang Pengzhang was puzzled and said with a smile: "What do you say about this?" Isn't Big Brother loving you enough? Yelu Hanyu snorted, "You made two songs specifically for Sister Zhao Jinxi, I heard Sister Zhao Jinxi sing, it's really beautiful and touching!" He looked at Yang Peng with some grievances, "But you didn't make a song for me!" Obviously, in your heart, Sister Zhao Jinxi is more important than me! "What a foolish thing to say! In fact, the eldest brother has been doing the song for a long time, but he has been busy forgetting and has not told you! ”

Yelu Hanyu was very surprised, "Really! Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true!" You're my dear sister Yelu, how could I lie to you? When the female guards heard this, they couldn't help but snicker.

Yelu Hanyu was very happy, and said with a longing face: "Sing it to me now!" "How good is it to sing on the street! I'll sing it to you when I get back! Yelu Hanyu nodded thoughtfully and raised his head, "You are not allowed to cheat!" "Don't cheat, don't cheat!"

The group continued to walk home, Yang Peng searched all the way to find a good song to come out, when he entered the house, Yang Peng's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of it! When I entered the house, I saw Zhao Jinxi, Yang Tong and Chai Yonghui coming out of the hall. Yang Peng said to Yelu Hanyu: "I'll sing it to you now!" Yelu Hanyu shook his head and whispered, "No, it was given to me by the eldest brother!" I have to listen to it before I can let anyone else hear it! Yang Peng smiled.

After dinner, Yelu Hanyu couldn't wait to pull Yang Peng to her yard. When other women see it, they will inevitably be a little jealous. As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, the Jin sisters immediately came over to greet them, and Ying Ying bowed and said, "Welcome the master, welcome the lady!" "How did the sisters end up here? After returning to Yanyun, Yang Peng assigned the Jin family sisters to Yelu Hanyu as personal maids, because Yelu Hanyu was really missing so many people by his side.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
