Chapter 58: Zhao Yun becomes a father!

It is late summer and autumn.

In a valley more than 100 miles away from Qinghu City, a village was built at some point. The village was full of "bandits", with a large number of people, and extremely strong combat power.

The Bingzhou governments wiped out several times in a row, and many people were killed, but the "bandits" themselves suffered pitifully few casualties.

It is easy to defend but difficult to attack where the valley is located. There is a relatively wide open space in front of me. Zhao Yun usually trains cavalry here.

Training cavalry is not just about teaching soldiers to ride horses or how to fight on war horses. If this is the case, then the cavalry's combat effectiveness will definitely not be strong.

There are three places where the cavalry is powerful.

One is mobility. In this era when technology was extremely underachieved, the cavalry with war horses was by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers.

The second is the charge, and the powerful impact force driven by the established cavalry legion when it charges is also irresistible to ordinary soldiers.

The third is the cavalry's formation change and interspersed division of the battlefield, which is extremely powerful, and can easily defeat the strong with the weak.

An elite cavalry team of thousands of people faces a regular army of ten thousand people. If the cavalry generals are in good command, they can continue to split the impact after dispersing the enemy's battle formations, and then gather superior forces in a very short time to continuously intersect and harvest the lives of enemy soldiers.

There are many strengths of cavalry, but there are also many disadvantages.

First of all, it is that it costs too much to form a cavalry. The most important war horse is one. You have to know how to raise horses when you buy a war horse, just like many people in later generations can afford a car but can't afford a car.

The second is that although the cavalry is powerful, if they are surrounded by the enemy and lose their advantage in degree, then at this time the war horses will not only not become the help of the soldiers, but will instead become a burden.

When the war horses cannot charge or rely on their advantage, it is like one person standing and fighting, while the other person sitting in a chair cannot move. The final result can be imagined.

Once a war horse is killed or frightened, and the cavalry drops the war horse and then wants to get up on the battlefield, it will be even more difficult.

Therefore, cavalry is definitely not that easy to train.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun had riding skills, archery skills, and gun skills, which could be taught to soldiers. Gao Shun knew how to train troops. Even though he was not very familiar with cavalry, he also understood the most basic things.

Zhao Yun himself was also collecting relevant books to read. Through the descriptions in the books and his own practical exercises, in just two months, the 500 cavalry under his command had already looked quite good.

He bought three hundred war horses before, and later he bought two hundred, all of which were put into use by him.

Of course, in just two months, this cavalry will definitely not be able to successfully train. The soldiers are now only familiar with war horses, can ride horses and can make some simple moves on the back of war horses.

Relying on the knowledge of later generations, Zhao Yun asked someone to create five hundred battle knives. The handles of these battle knives were very long, enough for soldiers to hold them tightly with both hands, and the blades of the battle knives were also very wide.

When the cavalry charges, the soldiers only need to level the war horses horizontally during the charge, and can cause great casualties to the enemy by just the charge.

Bows and arrows are relatively precious weapons, and he has not yet been able to get them. The only strong bows are only enough for him and a limited number of people to use, and the effect is not too great.

So now his cavalry only has two weapons, namely guns and battle knives.

The simple battle formation drill continues, and the soldiers have to conduct high-intensity training every day, once in the morning, noon and evening. There is also long-distance raid training, which basically comes once in three or five days.

In a month, Zhao Yun went back to Qinghu City at most three times, and only stayed for one day when he returned, accompanied Li Shilan, asked about Xun You's government affairs, had a condom relationship with Yun Kun, and then came again.

He is the commander of this cavalry and must always be with the soldiers.

Every time he left, the soldiers would scatter and go to various surrounding cities to look for flowers and willows, and the cost was contracted by Zhao Yun.

Basically, each soldier can go once every three months!

Gao Shun and Xun You expressed firm opposition to Zhao Yun's decision, but Zhao Yun rejected it, and the objection was invalid!

After seeing this decision, the first group of people who went back with glory, with higher loyalty and more dedicated training. After one by one, they were like not afraid of death, Gao Shun and Xun You had no choice but to endure it.

And for the soldiers, this is simply a fantasy.

When Zhao Yun served in the army, he not only had food to eat, but also had salary every month. Although it was not much, it was definitely a great thing.

You know, in this era, I don’t know how many people are unable to eat enough. They are already very satisfied with having a full meal. The salary is completely an unexpected surprise.

The most important thing is that everyone takes turns to go to the city to have fun once in three months. This really makes people have nothing to say. Which army member can receive such treatment?

Therefore, the soldiers highly praised Zhao Yun and were almost loyal to him!

People in this era are very simple and have simple thoughts. They remember anyone who treats them well. People like Zhao Yun cannot find any of them in the entire Han Dynasty!

They are not loyal to Zhao Yun, so who are they loyal to?

For Zhao Yun, he can afford the money every soldier goes once every three months. On average, each person only has ten silvers per person, and after conversion, it is only a thousand dollars. One thousand two hundred people rotated at a time, which is only one.2 million, which is completely affordable.

What is obtained is the absolute loyalty of the soldiers!

Not only that, he also stipulated that the ten people who performed the most in training could be rewarded with an additional opportunity.

In other words, as long as you train hard and perform well, you can basically go out every "happy day" without a limit on the number of times! Even if it is not your turn that time, you can go.

Moreover, if someone doesn’t want to go, you can also save every expense and do whatever you want in the future. Don’t force it!

Many people kept it to get married.

Is this deal worth it? I can't see it for the time being, and the value will be slowly reflected in the future.

Time passes slowly, day after day training, happy days every ten days.

Zhao Yun was waiting for the opportunity to come, and the soldiers worked hard to get one more happy opportunity.

...

It is late autumn and winter solstice, winter goes and spring comes, and half a year passes in a blink of an eye.

In 181 AD, in the fourth year of Emperor Ling of Han, Zhao Yun traveled through time for almost two years.

On January 27th, Zhao Yun was anxiously guarding the county magistrate's mansion, just like many people walking back and forth when they watched TV in their previous life, and was extremely anxious.

In the room, Li Shilan's screams continued, and she was about to give birth!

The entire county magistrate's mansion was busy making a ball. After a baby cry came out, strong cheers broke out in the mansion. Li Xu and Mrs. Li hugged each other and cried, and Zhao Yun laughed to the sky.

It's a boy!

In history, Zhao Yun had a son, not only had a son, but also two.

The eldest son Zhao Tong and the second son Zhao Guang!

After some confusion, Zhao Yun decided to use these two names, which was a little respect for the original Zhao Yun. After all, this name must have been chosen by the original Zhao Yun.

Therefore, the eldest son was named Zhao Tong by him. If he had a second son, also known as Zhao Guang, and if he had a third one, he would be named by himself.
