In his early years, just to stand up for his soldiers, he offended Wang Jun, a powerful official in the Zhou Taizu Guo Rong period, and was demoted to a white body. He has been depressed and frustrated in Luoyang.
Now that they have been recruited by Luo Youdu, the father and son cherish this opportunity.
"No problem!"
Luo Youdu knew that people have millions of personalities, and different generals lead their troops in different ways.
Just like Han Xin, the more the better.
Even if you give him a group of old and weak soldiers, he can use his extraordinary and artistic commanding talent to bring out the abilities of these old and weak soldiers.
Brave generals like Zhang Qiong, Dang Jin, and Liu Fu relied on their own bravery to drive the momentum of the three armies and move forward bravely.
Chang Side relies on discipline. He is a calm man, manages the army with integrity, and is neither arrogant nor impetuous.
Historically, during Yongxi's Northern Expedition, Cao Bin's lack of experience and prestige in fighting against the Khitan, coupled with Song Taizong's own mistakes, gave the famous Khitan general Yelvxiu Ge an opportunity to take advantage of and was defeated.
This battle is considered Cao Bin's biggest stain.
However, among the large army led by Cao Bin, Chang Side's troops retreated in an orderly manner even after being defeated, and calmly escorted Cao Bin back to Yizhou.
It is extremely difficult to do this in the face of a complete defeat of the army.
As for Kang Zaiyu, Kang Baoyi's way of leading troops is to integrate himself into the soldiers, and become as close as brothers and sisters with them, sharing joys and sorrows, sufferings, misfortunes and blessings, life and death.
Different methods will have different effects, but there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
Luo Youdu did not intend to force Kang Baoyi to meet again, and Kang Baoyi changed his style, or it could be said that this style was what the Xuanwei Army needed.
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "I see that you are strong and agile, climbing the flying ladder, like a spiritual ape. You can try new tricks. Later I will apply to the imperial court to send people from the Ministry of Industry to build some large siege equipment here for you to operate and practice.
.Don’t be afraid of wear and tear. No matter how exquisite the equipment is, it is nothing compared to human life. If the equipment is broken, rebuild it. If the people are gone, they are really gone. If the Ministry of Industry feels distressed, I will pay them privately for help. In short, these equipments must be replaced
It's as easy to use as a sword or a gun."
Kang was even more excited when he met again, clasping his fists and saying: "The final general will never disappoint the expectations of the commander of the army."
After today's inspection, Luo Youdu chatted with Cao Bin and Pan Mei for a while about the overall situation of the Royal Camp Division, asking them not to relax in any way.
Luo Youdu has proven himself, but Yuyingsi has not yet.
No one paid attention to the five hundred soldiers before.
The next battle is the battle to establish the prestige of the Imperial Guards Division. If Luo Youdu and the Royal Guards perform well, then they can truly be on par with the Imperial Palace Division and the Guards and Military Division.
Cao Bin and Pan Mei also knew this and were very excited.
At dusk, Luo Youdu rode out of the military camp and arrived at the manor he bought.
There is also a piece of natural turf at the foot of the mountain, where we plan to build a small horse farm.
The horses Fu Qing'er begged from Fu Yanqing were all high-quality horses.
Anyway, he doesn't charge into battle, and his temper will get louder when he's in heat. It's a pity that such a good stallion is castrated.
When nothing happens, you can give the mare some time to relax and give birth to a batch of good foals.
However, the current manor is still under planning.
In addition to some of the original tenants, only a few families of his soldiers and the family members of the servants and maids recruited by Luo Zhai moved in.
But as the number of his personal soldiers increases, the number will become larger and larger.
Arriving at the temporary house where they lived, Luo Youdu looked at the eighteen female riders who were busy going about their business, and asked with a smile: "How are you preparing?"
Fengzhu smiled and said: "Everything is ready. The sisters are very happy. It has been a long time since we had a barbecue outdoors..."
When she was in Daming Mansion, Fu Qing'er liked hunting and would often take them hunting in the wild and grill them on the spot.
After coming to Kaifeng, there are fewer such opportunities.
Kaifeng is a water and land hub and the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Most of the surrounding land has been developed, and there are few places for hunting.
Even the manor where they are located is the same. The so-called mountains are just ordinary nameless hills. There are only some common animals such as pheasants, rabbits, and weasels in the mountains. There are not many of them. There are larger wild boars, which are rare.
At first sight, let alone wild goats, muntjacs and other prey.
When he came today, Luo Youdu asked Fu Qing'er to buy some game, just like hunting it by himself, to feel the feeling and relax.
Of course, the most important thing is that the more comfortable he lives here, the further away from Feng's right and wrong.
Fu Qing'er happily prepared everything and waited for Luo Youdu to return from the military camp.
Luo Youdu rested for a while, drank a few sips of tea, and then led a group of people to the grassland at the foot of the mountain.
Fu Qing'er looked extremely excited. Looking at the archery target set up in the distance, she gave a sweet shout and jumped out of the crowd. She skillfully took the bow and arrows from the saddle, galloped her horse, and pointed the bow at the target while moving.
Just shot it.
The arrow flew through the air and hit the target.
The definitions of mounted archery and infantry archery are different.
If a rifle shot hits the target, it will be commendable no matter where it is shot.
Fu Qing'er's arrow was shot cleanly, causing bursts of applause.
Fengzhu and the other seventeen female riders galloped out one by one. They skillfully opened their bows and shot arrows, and ten of the eighteen hit the target.
Luo Youdu was greatly shocked. Only Fu Yanqing had the ability and leisure to help Fu Qing'er cultivate a group of such outstanding female shooters.
He looked at the dozen or so guards behind him and asked, "They all put on a show, why don't you gentlemen show off your skills?"
The scene was somewhat quiet.
If you are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, how can practicing martial arts be so easy?
Except for some freaks with extraordinary talents, if a normal family wants to train a warrior who is skilled in bow and horse, it would cost enough to train a dozen scholars.
His group of soldiers have good riding skills and are loyal enough, but they are unsatisfactory in riding and shooting.
That is why Hu Yanzan has the conditions to learn the art of bow and horse.
So Luo Youdu looked at Hu Yanzan.
However, he soon discovered that Hu Yanzan did not seem to have brought a bow and arrows.
He accelerated violently and rushed toward the target. He raised the iron whip in his hand and lifted the target into the air. Then he pulled the reins sharply, and the horse's front hooves rose into the air. He whipped back with his backhand.
Hit the bullseye right on the target.
The arrow target immediately fell into pieces.
Luo Youdu couldn't help but applaud. Even though his martial arts skills were mediocre, it could be seen that Hu Yanzan's performance not only showed superb riding skills, but also reached a certain level of control and release of strength.
Fu Qing'er didn't expect Hu Yanzan to be so strong, so he galloped forward and exclaimed: "This captain of the bodyguard under Lang Jun is really amazing."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "It's not all thanks to Madam!"
Fu Qing'er smiled and said: "If dad knew that he missed such a warrior, he would most likely regret it."
Luo Youdu's eyes fell on his wife. At this moment, she was dressed in a plain white tight-fitting warrior uniform, which showed her slim waist and slender legs to the fullest. He called the guards behind him to light the fire and prepare for the next barbecue.
He said: "Madam, come and teach me how to ride and shoot as a husband."
Fu Qing'er was explaining the essentials.
Luo Youdu said impatiently: "I know all this, Madam, just like showing me how to shoot arrows, teach me step by step, I will learn quickly."
Fu Qing'er's pretty face turned red, but she still got on Luo Youdu's horse. They rode two horses and walked on the grass. Whether they were learning riding and shooting or chatting about love, it didn't matter.
For half a month, Luo Youdu traveled between the military camp and the manor. Even on holiday, he did not return to Kaifeng. Instead, he took Fu Qing'er to Dayezawa, which is the stronghold of Shuibo Liangshan in the novel, where mountains and rivers alternate.
It is a natural hunting ground.
**********
Wang Yansheng, who was far away in Kaifeng, finally couldn't stand it anymore after thinking twice for a while.
He has already investigated all of Bi Shiyuan's identities.
A student whose family is in Yunzhong, Daizhou, who originally studied in the Central Plains, is alone and has no background.
Although I visited Dou Yujun, Yang Ningshi and Feng Ping successively during these days in Bianjing, except for Dou Yujun who asked Bi Shiyuan to study with him in a private school, Yang Ningshi and Feng Ping did not show much enthusiasm.
It is impossible for these old and successful scholars to easily accept a stranger as their disciple. At best, they can just point out the doubts in Bi Shiyuan's mind, which is already very good.
After Wang Yansheng repeatedly confirmed that Bi Shiyuan could be killed, he directly sent people to capture Bi Shiyuan and take away all ten of his boxes.
The reason is very simple: it is suspected that Bi Shiyuan was a meticulous work of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Although it is nonsense, Bi Shiyuan's family was indeed under the control of the Northern Han Dynasty, and his father once served as an official under the rule of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Wang Yansheng's position had the authority to handle this, and no one dared to say anything when Bi Shiyuan was taken away.
After all, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
If Bi Shiyuan is really a meticulous work of the Northern Han Dynasty, who can bear this responsibility?
Inspection Department.
Wang Yansheng looked at the ten large boxes in front of him and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Open it!"
As the boxes opened one after another, Wang Yansheng was dumbfounded.
This was completely different from what he expected.
Nine of these boxes were filled with books, and there was only one small box containing soft clothes.
"What the hell!"
Wang Yansheng angrily took a book and opened it suddenly, and the pages fell straight down.
Books at this time had several different binding methods, the most common of which were butterfly binding and folded binding.
After folding, there are two hard pages at the front and back, and the paper in the middle is folded and stacked, just like the memorials on TV.
This binding method makes it easy to carry.
He yanked hard with both hands and tore the book in his hands into two halves.
