Chapter 502: Training


To train cavalry for Lu Xiang, Liang Xiao was very attentive.He selected more than 1,000 people from more than 2,000 South Vietnamese cavalry, and got up at dawn every day to run around Panyu City twice to move his muscles and bones.The sun shows the horizon, the knight eats breakfast, and the war horse replenishes the essence.After breakfast, the knights were divided into two groups, one to practice archery and the other to control horses.The South Vietnamese knights used to ride horses, but their riding skills were only slow running.In Liang Xiao's view, such riding skills are far from meeting the requirements of cavalry warfare, and he wants to teach them better riding skills, as well as complex tactics such as cavalry charge, coordination, and detours.The final results have not yet been seen, but the news that the Han envoys helped South Vietnam train knights has already spread throughout the city.Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue, also heard the news, found a time, and accompanied by Yan An, boarded the outer city of Panyu to watch the cavalry training.At this time, the cavalry had already undergone more than half a month of training, and the tactics had taken shape.Seeing the king's flag at the head of the city, and knowing that the king was watching, the knights were even more bloody, energetic, meticulous, detouring, charging, riding and shooting, retreating, and performing decently.Zhao Hu was very satisfied, although he didn't say anything, the smile in the corner of his eyes was very obvious.The crown prince Zhao Ying was dressed in full armor and stood aside."

What does my father think?"

"Well, it's a bit of an elite. ”Zhao Hu turned to look at Yan An and said with a light smile: "Thank you Yan Jun, and please convey my thanks to Liang Jun."

When he has free time, invite him to come to the palace to talk. ”Yan An returned the salute very politely.The king was serious.South Vietnam is a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and South Vietnam is peaceful, which is the Taiping of the Han Dynasty.It is also an honor for me and Liang Junhou to help the king.Of course, this is mainly due to Liang Junhou.Cavalry was the skill he became famous for, albeit in limited numbers.But these more than 1,000 horsemen will be one of the king's sharpest swords. ”Lu Jia, who was standing on the side, frowned slightly, and said lukewarmly: "It's a pity that I have a waterway in South Vietnam, and there is no grassland that spans thousands of miles, and there is no BMW that travels thousands of miles a day.No matter how hard Liang Junhou is, these cavalry can't be compared with the knights of the Han family after all, so "So."

It's better to be at peace and not have any conflicts. ”Yan An grabbed the topic with a smile.In this way, Lu Xiang can show his talents, assist the king, and bring peace to all generations.With Lu Xiang's talent, he will not only be famous in southern Xinjiang in the future, but also famous all over the world. ”Lu Jia snorted: "Yan Jun misunderstood.I've heard that you Han people have a saying that southerners are good at boating.There are good horses in the north.The same is true for me South Vietnam.Boat is my strength in South Vietnam, this knight, training or not, in fact, has little effect. ”Yan An's eyebrows raised slightly, and he chuckled twice, both polite and disapproving.Lu Jia squinted at him and smiled: "What."

Yan Jun felt that I was not right," Yan An deliberately muttered for a moment."

Lu Xiang, if I say.The imperial court's advantage in the boat is more obvious than the advantage in cavalry warfare, do you believe it" Lu Jia rolled his eyes, "Haha, haha" laughed dryly, disdainful.Yan An put away his smile and arched his hand: "King."

It has been several months since An and others came to South Vietnam, and His Majesty's intention is very clear, and the reason why South Vietnam has not given a clear answer and refuses to accept the quality into the court is not because the king is deliberately neglecting.It's that some people sit in the well and watch the sky, and they don't know how powerful.In this case, it is useless for An Duo to say, it is better to ask the imperial court to issue an edict and send some sailors to South Vietnam to help South Vietnam clear out the Haikou bandits, how" He glanced at Lu Jia intentionally or unintentionally."

As far as An knows, General Zhao Guang went to sea to Jingkou, and it doesn't seem to be going well."

Although the translator is proficient in Chinese, he doesn't know what "sitting in a well and watching the sky" means, and halfway through the translation, he gets stuck, so he can only ask Yan An for advice.Yan An immediately told this fable again, and after listening to half of it, Lu Jia knew that this frog sitting in the well and watching the sky was referring to him, and he was immediately annoyed."

Yan Jun, if you want to see the Han family's sailors, why bother so much, there is a Huainan building ship in the port outside Panyu City."

Yan An's smile was even more contemptuous."

Lu Xiang, you really should get out of Panyu, out of South Vietnam, and see the world.Can this merchant ship and a warship be the same thing, you won't equate my Han Navy Division with those Haikou, but also, Haikou is already a great opponent for the South Vietnamese Naval Division. ”Lu Jia was speechless for a moment, and his slightly dark face was a little purple.He glared at Yan An, and stopped talking several times.In terms of eloquence, he is indeed not Yan An's opponent.It was indeed his idea to arrange for Zhao Guang to go to the beach to fortify, and it was also under the banner of guarding against pirates.Now that Zhao Guang has not returned to Panyu, Yan An is sure that he can't beat Haikou, and he really can't refute it.He can't say that Zhao Guang is not fighting Haikou, but guarding against the Han army.Although this is a tacit thing for everyone, they are scholars after all, and they still need this face.Of course, in terms of knowledge, he is not as good as Yan An.Yan An went to Chang'an from his hometown Linzi, and then came to South Vietnam, traveling thousands of miles, but what about him, he really never went out of Nanhai County.He really doesn't have any idea how big the world is.This has been evident in his many exchanges with Yan An.The text was not as good, the martial arts were invincible, Lu Jia was completely suppressed by Yan An and Liang Xiao, and he couldn't help but be a little angry, and in a fit of anger, he sneered: "Yan Jun said this, I'm really a little curious, I don't know how strong the Han Navy Master is, and what is the difference between it and Haikou." ”Yan An did not show weakness, and turned his gaze to Zhao Hu, and the meaning of the provocation was very clear.Zhao Hu was helpless for a while.It was fine just now, why did he suddenly turn his face Lu Jia said it, and he regretted it.Isn't this leading the wolf into the room, who knows how many people will come from the Han army's sailors at that time, whether it will be hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, He turned around and signaled to his cronies, asking them to hurry out and say a few words, and bring the words back.He underestimated Yan An.Yan An easily seized this opportunity, how could he easily let it go.Without giving Lu Jia any chance to repent, he made a decision with Zhao Hu in a few words, and asked the imperial court to send sailors to South Vietnam to help South Vietnam exterminate the Haikou Bandits.What made Lu Jia vomit blood even more was that the crown prince Zhao Yingqi actually helped Yan An speak, as if he had been looking forward to the entry of the Han army, and urged Zhao Hu to agree.Thunderbolt, the matter is settled.Lu Jia regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice.He couldn't care about Liang Xiao and the cavalry anymore, and was bent on how to remedy it.If the Han army and naval divisions were really allowed to enter the country, it would be very disadvantageous to South Vietnam.As long as you have a little IQ, you can guess that the Han Army Sailor will definitely not be weak.As Yan An said, the merchants' buildings and ships are so strong.Can the warships of the naval division still be weak, and what is even more terrifying is that if it is not only the Han naval division, but also the Han cavalry, it is very likely that South Vietnam will die because of this.Then he Lu Jiake will become a South Vietnamese sinner.However, the words spoken were like spilled water, although Lu Jia gave many reasons.But he was tightly bitten by Yan An, and in the end he could only limit one condition: the Han army could not have more than ten ships.Yan An smiled in his heart, but his face was angry, and finally looked at the face of the crown prince Zhao Yingqi, and "reluctantly" agreed.In the evening, when he returned to the post house, Liang Xiao listened to Yan An's narration and praised it: "Yan Jun is really smart, and his three-inch tongue is worth 100,000 soldiers."

Ten ships can really enter the port, and they dare not say anything else, defeating Zhao Guang's department is nine out of ten. ”"There is such a big certainty" Liang Xiao glanced at Yan An with a smile."

Yan Jun, it's not that I'm boasting, if I hadn't come in a hurry, let me have enough time to build a ship in Yuzhang, I am sure to slaughter Zhao Guangbu with two building ships."

Yan An was surprised and delighted, and a little embarrassed.The reason why Liang Xiao appeared here.Instead of building ships in South Vietnam, there is also credit to him.Fortunately, now I am familiar with Liang Xiao.He snorted and messed around."

There is really such a big advantage" "It's useless to talk more, wait for Wei Qing to bring the water master and beat Zhao Guang's nose and swollen eyes, you will know." ”Liang Xiao rubbed his hands with some regret."

It's a pity that such a good opportunity was snatched away by Wei Qing, waiting for him to come.I'm going to have to blackmail him. ”Yan An will be skeptical.However, since Liang Xiao said that ten building ships were enough, he was relieved.Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not enough, although Wei Qing is honest, he is not a fool.He wouldn't really just take ten ships."

Prince, I will send a letter to Your Majesty, and you will also contact the merchants of Huainan Kingdom, and I am afraid that I will need their support when the sailor arrives in Hong Kong.""

Please give an edict to Your Majesty, money can be spent, but it can't be spent inexplicably."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows."

In addition, you can talk to Your Majesty and make up the money I used up during this time."

Yan An laughed."

Don't worry, as long as the South Vietnamese proton enters the court, His Majesty will definitely not treat you badly."

When he was helping Lu Xiang train cavalry, Liang Xiao himself was not idle.He used the twenty Dian horses sent by Lu Xiang to equip Alexander and other knights, so that they could familiarize themselves with the characteristics of the Dian horses, and maintain normal training to maintain their strength at any time.At the same time, Han said that Lang Guan was no exception and participated in training together.Liang Xiao also assigned them to the South Vietnamese cavalry, and let them be instructors in the battalion and mingle with the South Vietnamese soldiers.Most of these Lang officials are from the six counties in the northwest, and they have been trained since childhood, whether it is riding skills or tactics.With their hands-on guidance, the level of the South Vietnamese knights improved very quickly.The status of Han Jialang led by Liang Xiao in the minds of South Vietnamese soldiers has also risen, Tian Jia and others, like Zheng Yan, have become fans of Liang Xiao, walking closer than ordinary soldiers, and unconsciously imitating the words and deeds of Liang Xiao and others.The Han style unconsciously impregnated these South Vietnamese soldiers.South Vietnam has its own language, but there is no written language, and the script used now is also somewhat different from that used in the Central Plains, retaining more small seals of the Qin Dynasty, and not much is said about the official scripts that have begun to become popular in the Central Plains.Zheng Yan, Tian Jia and other soldiers were mostly illiterate, and they couldn't even write their own names.Liang Xiao did not let go of this opportunity, he asked Han Shuo and other Lang officials who were coarse in writing and writing to teach them to read and write, and further strengthen the siege of Han culture.This is a position that Lu Jia and others did not notice.Unknowingly, Liang Xiao dug into the corner of Lu Jia's wall.A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the time has come to test the results.The person who is most concerned about this matter is not to come to Lu Xiang.He had high hopes for the more than 1,000 cavalry, hoping that the newly trained cavalry would show strong combat effectiveness, but he was also unwilling to increase losses for no reason.Before the competition, he ordered all the knights to carefully wrap the spearheads and arrowheads, and replace the war knives with new knives that had just come out of the workshop and had not yet been bladed.Everything was ready to stop, Liang Xiao, Zhao Yingqi, and Lu Xiang walked side by side on the viewing platform.Lu Xiang crossed his waist, glanced at the knights who had finished the battle under the stage, and then looked at Liang Xiao."

Liang Junhou, to tell you the truth, fifty good horses, I am ready, I hope you can get them.In addition to our bet, the prince also wants to get involved.If the performance of the sons satisfied him, he would give a banquet to thank the prince. ”Liang Xiao smiled and arched his hand at Zhao Yingqi.He knew what Lu Xiang was worried about, but he was afraid that he would only teach some fancy fists and embroidered legs, which usually looked good when practicing, but he didn't use them when he really fought in battle.In fact, Lu Xiang really thought too much, and the one who could understand his intentions the most was Lu Jia, but it was a pity that Lu Jia and Lu Xiang were not in harmony, and it was impossible for them to sit down and talk to each other.What he taught these South Vietnamese knights was the real thing.Because he knew very well that no matter how these South Vietnamese knights trained, the South Vietnamese cavalry could not be the opponent of the Central Plains cavalry.The Yunnan horse is indeed a good horse, although the physique is limited, but the ability to bear weight, climb mountains and wade is not weak, otherwise it will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of the ancient tea horse road.However, as a war horse, the Dian horse is definitely not an ideal horse.The South Vietnamese knights could not pose a threat to the Han army, but they could act as a lever.Lu Xiang's strength has increased, and he has the capital to call for battle with Lu Jia, and when Zhao Yingqi ascends the throne, he may even overwhelm Lu Jia and form a pro-Han faction within South Vietnam, which will have more advantages than disadvantages.In this case, why should he hide his secrets, he can generously show his attainments in riding battles, and have countless fans.It turned out that the crown prince Zhao Yingqi was successfully captured by him.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so enthusiastic."

I'm not as generous as a general.Let me be clear, from the day I agreed to the bet, I wasn't going to lose. ”Liang Xiao said with a smile: "I am a martial artist, I like to go straight, and I don't like those vain politeness."

Either I don't bet, or if I want to bet, I have to win. ”"Hahaha, that's the best."

Lu Xiang laughed and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.The three of them sat down on the stage, some military officials waved flags, and the contest began.The first is mounted archery, the arrow target is standing in front of the stage, and ten knights on each side ride their horses past the stage, each shooting ten arrows to see who shoots more arrows.At the sound of an order, the knights selected by both sides lined up and lined up in the distance.The knights on Liang Xiao's side are headed by Tian Jia.Although his stature is on the high side, he and Liang Xiao are relatively close, and accept Liang Xiao's personal guidance, whether it is riding or archery, he has made great progress, and is a well-deserved leader among the South Vietnamese knights.In order to match his figure, Liang Xiao also selected one of the twenty Dian horses sent by Lu Xiang with the best physical strength for him to use as a mount.The sound of war drums sounded slowly, Tian Jia kicked his horse out of the ranks, raised the bow in his hand, and began to gallop slowly.The horse gradually accelerated, and when it ran in front of the target, it was already in the air with four hooves in the air, and its mane was flying.Tian Jia sat firmly on the back of the horse, drew his bow and arrows, and shot three arrows in one breath, just as Beta had done when he was competing with them.Before the three arrows all-Chinese military officials reported their results, the knights on both sides were boiling.In fact, even if Tian Jia didn't hit all three arrows, just his rapid shot in a full-speed gallop was already eye-catching.An ordinary South Vietnamese knight who had not been trained by Liang Xiao could not shoot so quickly.Now he not only shoots fast, but also shoots accurately, how can he not surprise the audience.Hearing the results reported by the military officials, Zhao Yingqi was a little out of shape, stood up, walked to the side of the stage, and asked loudly: "Really" "Your Highness, it is true, all three arrows are hit." ”The soldier lifted the arrow stack and placed it in front of Zhao Yingqi."

You see, there is another arrow that is only one palm away from the center of the arrow, which can be described as extremely accurate."

Zhao Yingqi was overjoyed."

Come on, reward" Someone immediately carried a few large boxes and placed them in front of the stage, revealing the golden brocade inside.Zhao Yingqi happily shouted: "Shoot well, reward the original brocade" Tian Jia was overjoyed, and hurriedly came to the stage, received the reward, and held it high.The eyes of the soldiers who participated in the competition suddenly turned red.Liang Xiao turned sideways, attached to Lu Xiang's ear, and laughed softly: "General Lu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so stimulated, I'm afraid that he will kill him.
