Qu Gao had more than once dreamed of wearing armor and fighting on the battlefield with barbarians. Being influenced by his father since childhood, he had a clear distinction between black and white, good and evil, and developed an unyielding will in his bones. He wanted to He went to the battlefield, but he did not join the army like his father and grandfather.
He doesn't want to, nor does he like to fight for merit, and he doesn't want to be a nobody like his father and ancestors all his life, being driven and manipulated by various generals. His ideal appearance is to enjoy grudges and see the barbarians bullying the Jin people. , they drew their swords and fought bloody battles, killing Hu not for meritorious service, not for reputation, but just for the blood that still remained in his body. How could the dignified and orthodox Jin Dynasty be bullied by barbarians to the point where they had no power to fight back!
Chang Fuhai once pointed out the righteousness in Qu Gao: This is what people in the world call a chivalrous person. The so-called chivalrous person is to help the weak without asking for anything in return, to be virtuous, loyal, benevolent and courageous, and not afraid of power. , Dare to do something! With Qu Gao's previous performance, it can indeed be matched.
Zhong Lijun was promoted to captain of ten. He picked ten brave soldiers who had just joined the camp from the recruit training camp and couldn't wait to bring them to Qu Gao to see them. They looked as energetic as if he had become a general.
The ten recruits were about the same age as him, all fifteen or sixteen years old. Most of them were slim and not strong, but they stood upright, looked firm, and had good spirits. Qu Gao knew that he could recruit new recruits. The people in the camp are all children of ordinary families. These people are not spoiled or spoiled, and they are not high-minded. They know their goals very well and will definitely fight for them. It is not for anything else but survival.
Qu Gao was very satisfied with this alone. These new recruits had just entered the camp and had not yet experienced bloody fighting. They could practice martial arts and become physically stronger. As long as they were determined, they would definitely become useful talents in the future!
The recruit camp was equipped with basic swords for each person. Zhongli Jun was not proficient in swordsmanship. When he came to Qu Gao, he wanted Qu Gao to help with training. How could Qu Gao take on such a boring task? He wanted to accompany Zhang, so he would do it when he was free. I have to help Zhu Yan take care of business. These days, I have been constantly inviting a few gentry gentlemen to drink and have fun in Changlefang. The business in Changlefang is very good. These gentlemen have a romantic temperament and spend a lot of money. The girls can wait eagerly. Qu Gaoduo is taking them there.
"Jun'er, the marksmanship passed down in your family is already an exquisite martial art. You can teach them, and they can learn from each other in the future, and they can become more advanced. Moreover, if one day we really go to the battlefield, the weapon will be longer and stronger every inch, which will give the gun a huge advantage! " Qu Gao patted Zhong Lijun's shoulder earnestly and said this. Seeing that the latter was about to cry but had no tears, he comforted him: "I will take care of the equipment, and I won't care about the other things. You have grown up. Learn to do many things independently.”
Zhonglijun bid farewell to Qugao wisely and did not appear again for several days.
On this day, Qu Gao came out of the weapons bureau in a car and saw Shen Yi swinging listlessly on the horse. He asked the driver to drive closer. Through the car window, Qu Gao lifted him into the car with one hand. He got up and sat down, Shen Yi Yi stroked his chest and gasped: "Brother Qu is shocked, A Yi!" Qu Gao said: "You are so distracted, where is your sister-in-law from Changlefang?" After returning from Beishan, Qu Gao often took Shen Yi to Changlefang to have a drink. , after going back and forth, the two became familiar with each other, and Shen Yi was no longer afraid of high music.
Shen Yi said: "Brother Qu, don't make trouble. My father wants me to marry Lu's Aning. I'm worried right now." Lu's Aning was the woman who supported Chen Xuan at the foot of Qingxiu Peak that day. Qu Gao recalled that When Mrs. Lu looked at the king's head, her eyes were full of excitement and she asked, "What? You don't like Mrs. Lu?"
Shen Yi grimaced and frowned: "Well, everyone knows that Lu is in love with Wang Lang. If I marry her, won't they make fun of me?"
Qu Gao frowned and thought for a long time, nodded his head, and said in a calm voice: "It's not easy to wear green on top!" Shen Yi was annoyed, snorted heavily, looked away, and saw the cold light of ten signs on the bottom of the car. With his bright caltrop spear, his face turned pale, he covered his mouth and said, "Brother Qu wants to rebel?"
Qu Gao looked serious and nodded: "Of course! Now everything is ready, only ten good horses are missing!" Shen Yi's face suddenly dropped, and he sobbed: "I knew that nothing good would happen when I met you. My horse farm has just received ten good horses."
When Qu Gao heard it, his eyes sparkled, he swallowed the saliva that flowed to his lips, put his arm on Shen Yi's shoulder, and said seriously: "Let's go to Changle Square to relax for a while, I will be the host today!"
After drinking meat and wine, Shen Yi's face turned red, and he completely forgot about his troubles. "Tell me, you are so attentive to a little captain. That fine iron caltrop spear is a superior weapon, but you actually shot it." I’ve got ten handles, and my horse, and I’ll give you the lowest price of two thousand silver.”
Qu Gao smiled politely, and it did cost a lot. By equipping Zhongli Jun's ten soldiers with spears and horses, he could transform his team into cavalry. The Jin people were no more nomadic than the Hu people. Xiangyang is rich in good cavalry, and the military system is mostly cavalry. Since the fall of Hebei, there are few places that produce horses in the Southern Dynasties, and the cavalry is even more pitiful. Even though Xiangyang is connected in all directions, there are only a thousand light cavalry in the city.
The cavalry has unparalleled speed and impact, and is undoubtedly the most powerful presence on the battlefield. However, the cost of training is too high, and the southerners are not good at horse fighting, so there are very few cavalry in the Southern Dynasties.
Qu Gao had long planned to equip Zhongli Jun with a long spear and a good horse. In the past ten years, the Hu people's roving troops have been doing evil everywhere. There are fields in the north and no one dares to plant them. No one dares to walk on the roads. The people are in dire straits! Those wanderers Although the cavalry is not an orthodox army and has mediocre combat power, to ordinary people, it is like ghosts and evil spirits, coming and going without a trace, but they do all kinds of evil. Qu Gao thought early in the morning that since the Hu people can let the stragglers do evil, we can The Jin people can also use their methods to repay the other side. The Jin army only needs to train dozens of rangers, each team has ten people, and wander around the north. When they encounter scattered barbarians, they will attack them head-on. The people's army then retreated and wandered around. By doing this, it would not take half a year to make the barbarians restrain themselves.
It was just a fantasy before, but now that Zhong Lijun happened to have a team in his hands, Qu Gao couldn't wait and supported it at all costs.
Shen Yi saw Qu Gaogao and his eyebrows deep in thought. He was silent for a long time and said with a smile: "Do you regret it? You gave a group of soldiers such sophisticated equipment, but you use an ordinary iron sword. It's a pity that Brother Qu is such a hero!"
Qu Gao raised his eyebrows and said, "Ayi still has famous products in his hands?"
Shen Yi was drunk and shook his head and said: "I don't have it. Don't try to make any plans for me again!" Suddenly he came over and whispered: "However, I know that there is a peerless famous sword in Xiangyang City!"
