Chapter 168 The Four Dragons Meeting, Xiang Jiazhuang actually fished up a tripod
What Xiang Yu needs to learn today is the art of royal cars.
Prior to this, Xiang Liang spent a lot of money to buy a chariot with the children of a declining family in Wu County.
The old buyer also said that this chariot was used by Wu Zixu when he broke the Vietnamese army, and it is hundreds of years old.
Xiang Liang heard it, smiled and smiled, and he didn't reveal it.
The good horses of Pengcheng were all requisitioned for military and official use, and they could only be bought with ordinary horses of the upper middle range.
Before teaching Xiang Yu the royal car, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng also deliberately spent a lot of effort to train these four crossbow horses.
Today, the training ground is set up in the grassland in front of the manor, listening to Xiang Yu almost mechanically reciting the oath, Fan Zeng sat behind a plan, nodded, and shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Long Ji was putting the frame on the two crossbow horses and tying them tightly, Xiang Liang was holding a few radishes in his hand to feed the horses, and the two took turns combing their manes, rubbing their faces against each other, and talking softly in their ears.
They also gently patted the buttocks of the two horses, and then asked Xiang Yu to get into the car and ride.
Before Xiang Liang stepped on the frame and was about to swing the whip, Xiang Yu inevitably asked curiously: "Little Dad!" You and Brother Long You, why did you do that just now? ”
"Horse psychic! That's what I told you when you learned to ride. The so-called good horse protector, in fact, the same is true when the crossbow horse is trained. Xiang Liang said happily.
Then, he flicked the whip lightly, and the two horses slowly pulled the chariot with it: "My few actions just now, which seem simple, contain university questions......"
That is, before you can use people or animals, you must teach them to like you and obey you. Remember! In the future, leading the army to fight and leading the troops on weekdays, this set of big radish strategies is very effective. ”
Xiang Liang glanced at it and found that Xiao Xiang Yu was still full of confusion, he didn't say much, only smiled slightly, blew a loud whistle, and the two horses quickened their pace and ran.
The two horses ran smoothly in a straight line, as if only one horse were pulling the frame.
Xiang Liang holds the bridle rope in one hand and the whip in the other, or operates with one hand, or shakes the bridle with both hands......
A whip, a whistle or a shout, the two horses do not obey, follow his signal fast or slow, left or right, or stop moving, completely as freely as the fingers of the arm.
When the chariot stopped again and let the horse breathe for a while, Xiang Liang said seriously to Xiang Yu: "Yu'er! Now it's up to you to do it. ”
"Daddy! You haven't even explained it to me, so you want me to take the car right away? Xiang Yu asked, but unceremoniously took the bridle and whip.
"Look at my previous royal car, isn't it very simple?"
"Exactly."
Xiang Liang nodded: "I just want to explain to you, the truth of 'things don't know how difficult things are'!" If you think it's simple, it's because I've already done the hard work. ”
Half-understood, he replied "um", and began to follow the signal specified by Xiang Liang, with a whip and a whistle, the two horses walked around again.
But in the blink of an eye, the situation became very different, either when they were turning, one of them did not listen to the command and collided with each other, or when they were moving forward, one of them slowed down and the frame almost lost its balance.
Xiang Yu also became even more hurried because of this, whipping and shaking the bridle, making him sweat profusely, but his condition was getting worse and worse......
With the neighing of the two horses, the frame was about to roll over.
Mo said that he was standing again, and Xiang Liang even sat as if he was sitting in a lonely boat in the sea.
At this time, it is dangerous for him to jump out of the car, and it is dangerous not to jump out of the car.
At this juncture, except for the dragon who dared to rush to the rescue, the rest of the guests and servants were so frightened that they avoided it.
In the midst of the lightning, Xiang Yu grabbed Xiang Liang's collar without hesitation, looked at the rushing dragon, threw it violently, and shouted: "Take it!" ”
And he also took advantage of the momentum to kick the edge of the frame, jumped down, and before he could stand firmly, he suddenly turned around, put his palms together, and pressed the edge of the frame.
There were two muffled sounds, and the heavy frame that turned over to the other side was immediately pressed to the ground, and it couldn't be more stable.
Not only that, Xiang Yu didn't wait for the frame to stabilize, walked a few steps, circled in front of the two horses, and didn't care that they were still struggling forward, his hands were left and right, grabbed the two strands of bridles, and he bent his knees and dragged them down.
"Phew! Stop me! ”
Strange to say, the two horses' heads let him pull them like this, and they hung down on the spot, and the four horses' hooves could no longer get up, and slowly bent their knees, and sat down on their knees on the pasture, and although they were still struggling, they could not even stand up for a while with their hind hooves.
After a while, it was finally enough to get the two horses to obey, and Xiang Yu let go of the bridle, and said to Xiang Liang, who was no longer in trouble, with a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect the royal car to be so troublesome......
It's just that before he finished speaking, Fan Zeng jumped up from the desk not far away and cheered: "Okay!" All right! Good job, you kid. Sure enough, it is worthy of innate divine power! ”
The people around him, including Long Ji, raised their hands one after another, cheering one after another.
"Hey, hey, hey! Thank you Fan Lao for the compliment. Xiang Yu scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly. Xiang Liang has not yet died in his deathbed, and Fan Zeng has not agreed to be a master, so he will not call him "Ya Father" and "Fan Shi".
"However, the reason why this vehicle rolls over is because you haven't grasped the trick yet." Fan Zeng said with a solemn face, sat back again, and his eyes swept towards Xiang Liang.
Xiang Yu also looked at Xiang Liang, bowed his head convincingly and asked, "Little Dad!" Tell the kids, what's the trick? ”
Xiang Liang sighed in alarm: "Hey! Feathers. You have to remember that there is a college question hidden in every little thing! Therefore, it can be used as a small metaphor for the big, and by extension, the royal car is the same as governing the country and leading the army......"
"Lao Tzu said, 'Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh', don't disturb too much, and grasp the root of everything. When two horses turn, the one on the outside is left and right, and the inside is left and right. Bear the main weight and direction of the car, all in the service horse ......"
"The other horse should not be the head of the horse, you just have to assume that the horse is in command. But what if some horses are reluctant to follow when turning or accelerating? A little spur is enough, but the signal must be clear, and you must not smoke indiscriminately! ”
When Xiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but retort: "It was one of the horses that didn't listen to the command, so I hit it hard." ”
"Huh! There is no horse that does not listen to command, and the same is true of leading people, only those who do not know how to command. Father Kua drove day by day, and every horse became a horse; The sheep lead the herd of tigers, and the herd of tigers also becomes sheep! Fan Zeng interjected with a sneer and waved his hand.
Xiang Yu's eyes turned, and he respectfully waved his hand at the two elders, and suddenly said, "Little Dad!" Fan Lao! I think that the chariot is too cumbersome, and the restrictions on fighting in the mountains and crossing rivers are too great, and they should be abolished. ”
Xiang Liang was slightly stunned, turned his head and exchanged glances with Fan Zeng, but saw the elder staring at Xiang Yu for a long time before he said lightly: "But you can't ignore its overall impact......
"It also has archers for long-range combat, shields and armor to defend against enemy arrows, and a broadsword and halberd for close combat!" Fan Zeng's words had the intention of deliberately testing Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said to himself: "One day, when I organize an army, I must mainly use cavalry, horses and armor, people holding halberds, ignoring bows and arrows, and impacting back and forth. ”
Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were even more shocked and short of breath, staring at the overly tall figure of this young man, and thought to themselves, this son is absolutely very young, thank God, the Xiang family has surpassed the ancestors......
Although he rejected the less practical combat preparation of the chariot, Xiang Yu did not refuse to practice the art of the chariot again, he believed that this was the principle of knowing oneself and knowing the other, and it would definitely be able to be used against the Qin army in the future.
Re-got on the car and drove it personally, thanks to the explanation of the two elders, he roughly knew how to behave, controlled the two horses, and gradually became handy.
However, Xiang Yu's temperament is still relatively impetuous, and he doesn't like things, he feels that as long as he basically masters it, he doesn't need to practice anymore and is planning to give up......
The steward suddenly trotted and came close to report: "Master of the house! Yang arrived with an unfamiliar face, saying that he wanted to introduce him and ten of his relatives as guests. ”
"Oh? One or two came to my Xiangjiazhuang, so it's okay to say. More than a dozen came at once, or was it when the wind was tight? "Xiang Liang asked Xiang Yule to stop the chariot.
Jumping out of the car, before he could stand firmly, his eyes met with Fan Zeng again, and he thought, "There won't be fraud, right?" We don't seem to have any new ones in the past two days! ”
"What are you afraid of. It's just right to deceive, please enter the urn, catch turtles in the urn! I'm already wondering, if those people are really coming to pretend to defect, who will be in charge? Fan Zeng smiled sadly.
Xiang Liang felt even more anxious: "I knew that while you were helping to salvage Qin's lost Yuzhou Ding, you would secretly throw such a strange stone and cause a riot prematurely." I shouldn't have left it to you! ”
Fan Zeng didn't argue, silently stood up again, and slowly paced with a cane. He has actually made a thorough plan, and it depends on whether Xiang Liang is decisive or not, and whether it is worth his own death.
Looking at the elder deeply, Xiang Liang also understood that he had now reached a situation where he had to die and survive, he nodded and said, "Reward Yang first, one gold!" Make an appointment with him to ...... tomorrow morning."
"Bring those people in, and I'll meet them personally! Mr. Do you think that all these ten people are those people? Could they be from the Wang family, the Meng family, or simply sent by Zhao Gao? ”
Fan Zeng stood still with his cane, turned his head to squint at Xiang Liang and smiled, and after a while, he asked, "Guess what?" Head of house. Is it possible that Ying Zheng is in person? ”
"This ......"
Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, Long and Xiang Dao all looked at each other, their first reaction was, Yingzheng is in person? Just take more than a dozen people to risk?
This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Even if you add the soldiers and horses of the entire Pengcheng outside......
For their Xiangjiazhuang, it is far from enough.
Everyone was more inclined to say that Ying Zheng sat in the royal car of the Eastern Patrol Army and came to Pengcheng to investigate......
then angered their Xiangjiazhuang and sent people to encircle and suppress, but only saw an empty shell.
"I'm inclined to the impossible, too! Ying Zheng spared his life, and a while ago he asked for a lot of people, what did he do to go to sea to visit immortals to find medicine. ”
Fan Zeng smiled, shook his head and said: "Privately sent someone to defect with false intentions to find out the reason, this is very similar to Zhao Gao and Li Si's tricks......"
"Besides, the Pengcheng County Commander is Li Si's nephew, so it's more convenient to respond." He muttered to himself, and then lowered his head and walked away.
Xiang Liang agreed, retracted his gaze, and glanced at Xiang Dao.
Xiang Dao understood and quickly retreated.
When he arrived at the door of Xiangjiazhuang, he stuffed a piece of gold into Yang's hand, and while explaining the situation, he glanced back and forth on Zhao Tuo's body.
Zhao Tuo looked a little hairy, and pressed his hand on the sword, but when he saw that the steward turned around and left, he joked.
"Zhao Zhuangshi! Please take care of yourself, there will be a period later......"
This brainless made Zhao Tuo even more confused, went back to the inn, and reported in front of the emperor, he understood.
Zhao Zihu thinks so: "This steward is clearly provocative, knowing that if you go to Xiang's house again, you will definitely die......"
"The other party has Fan Zeng's old yin ratio, and Xiang Liang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is not unusual to guess that our people are pretending to defect!"
Zhuo said: "But even Fan Zeng shouldn't be able to calculate, in the past three months, how many of the customers they have received are our Iron Eagle Ruishi?" ”
"Huh! Is this a serial set? Unexpectedly, once this Iron Eagle Ruishi was activated, it would have such a miraculous effect. Yingzheng said with bad intentions.
Immediately afterwards, he let go of his hands from his beard, shook his sleeves and said, "Then let's wait for tomorrow morning to go to the appointment, and then make a decision when we enter his bureau." ”
The people who had held another meeting in this large room waved their hands again, withdrew, and left.
This time, Lu Pheasant, a woman, didn't participate in it, she stayed in the room very familiarly.
And when Zhao Zihu came back, as soon as he pushed open the door, Lu Pheasant pounced on him ghostly.
Zhao Zihu was stunned, let her hang in front of him like an octopus, and asked funny.
"Why? Don't you hate me? It's only been less than a day since we got along, and we changed our position......"
Lu Pheasant was already hot, and he took off his sword without hesitation to untie his armor, and his voice was full of spring.
"Anyway, from now on, I can only have a man like you. It's better to accept your fate honestly! ”
Zhao Zihu slapped off her little hand and shouted, "Don't make trouble!" There's business tomorrow, and I don't want to be court-married because of you. ”
Lu Pheasant had his own clever plan, and the corners of his mouth hooked and said, "Oops! It turns out that you are so afraid of the military law of the family. Are you a man or not......"
"I'm like this, can you still bear it, and still want to leave it alone? Wouldn't it be more afraid of the housewife at home? ”
This agitation method is really useful, Zhao Zihu is actually unbearable, and the anger really comes up all of a sudden.
His eyes widened, and he let Lu Pheasant continue to come around, took a few big steps back, closed the door frame with his backhand, and then said hatefully: "What are you doing like this?" I don't think it's sincere at all......"
"If you really ask for something, do you Lu Pheasant dare to come down and take ten army sticks by yourself!"
In the pre-Qin period, women were still quite reserved, and with Xiang Liyue, most of Zhao Zihu's requirements could be met.
This is the only one, no matter how you coax it......
