In the past, Qin Liang lived at home and got up very early, when most of the time your king was still sleeping. Recently, your king was in mourning for his grandfather, but he got up very early, personally took his maid to make breakfast for Qin Liang, and also served him. clothes.
Qin Liang put on the chain mail under his robe, then put on a small crown and set off. Ling Jun and others stopped when they reached the corridor.
In the courtyard of the front hall of the General's Mansion, Qi Da and other soldiers arrived earlier.
Because yesterday Wang Kang, the Sima in charge of military affairs, said that the general would go out on horseback early this morning. Before dawn, everyone gathered at the gate of the mansion to follow the general out and escort him.
Sure enough, after a while, Sima Wang Kang arrived at the gate of the mansion first. Luo Er, who was a little thin, hid in the crowd, hoping that the people in front would block him.
Luo Er was Qi Da's brother-in-law. With his figure, he would definitely not be able to serve as a sergeant in the General's Mansion. However, his elder brother-in-law became successful and became a military attache, so he was selected as his subordinate.
The sky had just dawned, and the light was still too clear. Unexpectedly, Wang Kang came closer to look at each one, and soon stood next to Luo Er.
In Luo Er's eyes, Wang Kang was a big shot with a distinguished status. He immediately felt very nervous and could only stare ahead blankly, not daring to look directly at Wang Kang.
At this time Qi Da came over and said kindly: "This is my servant's brother-in-law. Although he is thin, he has good foundation. He can eat well and is not afraid of death."
Suddenly, the riding supervisor named Rao Dashan muttered: "Isn't that just a loser?"
"Haha..." The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter.
There was no smile on Wang Kang's face. He frowned and looked around. Only then did everyone hold back their laughter. Wang Kang said: "I think he is a good person. Loyalty to the general is very important."
Luo Er immediately felt that Wang Kang was a good person, so he cupped his fists and bowed to him. Wang Kang glanced at him, nodded in response, and walked past.
Qi Da, on the other hand, was not very good at talking. He said nothing but said that Luo Er ate too much.
But Qi Da was right. Perhaps it was when Luo Er first arrived in Luoyang, he really ate too much in one meal and almost burst to death, which left a deep impression on his uncle Qi Da. I remember that at that time, Luo Er My uncle said twice in a row, how can you hold so much with your size?
In fact, the two families had similar family backgrounds at first. The Qi family was a military community, and the Luo family was a civilian community. They were both poor families. Luo Er's brother died of starvation, and Qi Da's third brother also starved to death. Otherwise, the Qi family would not be the same. He will marry his daughter to Luo Er.
One year, Qin Zhongming went to Lujiang County to become the county governor. The fate of the Qi family changed in a very short period of time, and the gap between the two families widened. The Luo family still did not have enough to eat, and from time to time they could only support their wife, Qi, back home. My natal family borrowed food.
Later, Qi Da followed Lujiang County to Luoyang, and then under the order of Da Sinong, his family moved to Liang County to farm. Now thousands of miles apart, the Luo family returned to its previous predicament.
But not long after, Qi Da, probably feeling sorry for his sister, took the Qi family to Luoyang first. The Qi family lived a good life all of a sudden, and even went to help the cook in General Wei's mansion during the banquet. She cried while eating meat. , saying that her husband and children did not have enough to eat at home.
After that, Qi Da was promoted for some reason, so he simply found a way to get Luo Er into the army. According to the rules, the personal guards of the house were treated almost the same as those in the Luoyang Central Army. Luo Er's parents, wife, children and brothers were all resettled in Liang County In the south, the farmland was redistributed and became a scholar family.
Luo Er also soon discovered the change in his situation. The scholar family rented oxen and Quyu plows directly from the government, and then the village chief taught them how to accumulate fertilizer. The iron plow called Quyu plow was smaller and more labor-saving. As long as there are oxen, one person can cultivate a large field, so the Luo family can cultivate more fields. The field tax collected is not based on a percentage, but a fixed amount. In the first year of harvest, the Luo family has enough to eat.
No wonder everyone says that the current general is a kind man. The villagers are basically illiterate, but they are not stupid, and they are not deceptive. No one can tell whether the people above have their intentions and sincerity, but It's clear in my heart.
For example, in the past, the civil and military officials of Lujiang County would say some very reasonable things, but everyone could not understand them at all, but it was not that they were deceived, but that there was really no choice but to let him say it. Even if it was suggested that the villagers could use their free farmland It makes perfect sense to collect rent from fertile land or use the family's horses to run some business.
Everyone held their horses and waited for a while, then saw several people walking over while talking. The tall and tall young man in the middle was the general, the most powerful man in the Wei Kingdom.
Qi Da then ordered: "Mount the horse!"
Everyone stepped on the iron stirrups and climbed onto the horse skillfully and skillfully. Luo Er was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead. Although he was half a step slower, he finally climbed up steadily. He couldn't help but secretly sigh in relief. Before joining the army, he had never ridden a horse. He had only ridden oxen and donkeys. He had just learned to ride a horse recently and was not very skilled at it.
First, a small group of cavalry came out of the house. Some of them were wearing armor. But more of them had no armor. They only had a ring-headed sword all over their bodies. They were all wearing blue linen robes. Everyone found their position and led the general and others. People surrounded him and then went out together.
Everyone first arrived at the main street to the west of the General's Mansion, then walked north and exited the city through a city gate. After that, they walked west along the road beside the canal. The place they wanted to go to should be the parade ground in the northwest of Luoyang.
Luo Er was able to see the general on horseback clearly from a distance of two or three people.
Apart from being tall and handsome, the general seemed to be similar to ordinary people. He only wore simple robes, and the material seemed to be good. Occasionally, the general's voice could be heard, and he would chat and joke with the people around him.
Before that, Luo Er thought that the big shots living in Luoyang were different from ordinary people, for example, they had three heads and six arms, or they were like dogs and sheep.
The horses rode very fast, and they arrived at the parade ground within a short time. To the southwest of the parade ground, there was a very beautiful tall building. How many talents would it take to build such a tall building?
The eldest uncle said that it was called Baichilou. The eldest uncle had been in Luoyang for two years and was indeed more knowledgeable.
However, there was no martial arts parade on the parade ground, but a large group of people holding things and training there. Those people looked very funny. They had a basket on their head, which was said to be a protective gear made of withered rattan, and there were wood chips hanging on their chests. The thing made of blocks does indeed look like armor at first glance.
The crowd was chaotic. The way people train today is to fight with wooden sticks. Some people use wooden knives and wooden shields, while others use long sticks. There is a loud "crackling" sound when hitting with countless wooden sticks and wooden shields. one slice.
Several generals came to greet him, and Rao Dashan, who had previously said that Luo Er was a loser, said: "Go away!"
Everyone immediately dispersed, each standing in a position. Luo Er was a little confused, but he had a way, just follow his uncle.
The generals got off their horses first and clasped their fists in greeting. The general also got off his horse and returned the greetings to several people.
The postures of the several generals were very respectful, but their expressions seemed to be very close and familiar to the general, a bit like the way Luo Er reunited with his relatives during the New Year and festivals.
A man with thick arms, as if his whole body was covered with strong meat, said: "The long beryllium we use has been modified, and it also uses an iron part to cover the wooden pole. It is similar to a spear or a spear, except that it can also be used for chopping."
It is difficult to defeat short soldiers with swords and shields. How to deal with long soldiers with short soldiers requires a great general."
The general said: "One inch longer and one inch stronger. I don't think it's easy to win, and holding a shield won't make it much better."
Another general with a broad face said: "Back then, Bosong asked the general for advice with his long spear. The general can defeat you with a sword, but not everyone can do it."

The general said: "That time I just took advantage of my lightness and speed, and hid behind me first. Bosong underestimated the enemy and was too impatient, so I caught him and made a mistake."
The reckless man said: "Skills are inferior to those of others, but I will be convinced when I lose."
But the general smiled and said: "I don't think it looks like it. If Voldra hadn't stopped you at that time, wouldn't you still have wanted to fight? Is that what you would call convincing?"
Several people laughed "hehe".
The broad-faced man named Fu De said: "You took advantage of yourself with a long sword, but you were restrained by someone else with a scribe's sword. How dare you fight a second time? Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?"
The mangy man said seriously: "That time it was really because I was impatient and underestimated the enemy, and I made a mistake. If we fight again, I think I can win back the fight."
Fu De said: "Even if we can win back a fight, we will still count ourselves as a loser."
Now no one is challenging the general's martial arts skills. Everyone is watching the parade one after another, watching the soldiers fight. The soldiers with long sticks compete with the soldiers with wooden swords and shields. It is true that long weapons are more advantageous, and most of the time it is the soldiers with long sticks.
Win. Winning or losing depends on hitting.
Not far from Luo Er, a soldier with a wooden sword and shield kept losing. His face turned red and he suddenly cursed angrily. At this time, a tall man came with a wooden sword and shield and said: "I will.
Oriental governance, ask for advice."
The sergeant holding the long stick arched his hand and struck it from top to bottom with the long stick. With a "bang" sound, the tall man named Dongfang Zhi, with quick eyesight and quick hands, blocked the blow with a wooden shield.
He didn't stop and immediately rushed forward. The sergeant with the long stick was obviously a little surprised and hurriedly retreated, but he was still caught up and the basket on his head was patted.
"Huh?" said the soldier, "Come again!"
The two got into a stance again. Dongfangzhi leaned forward and held the sword above with his right hand. His posture looked very elegant. The soldier with the long stick attacked first because his stick was much longer. Dongfangzhi was extremely skilled.
Well, as expected, he blocked it with his shield, then stepped forward to attack.
The soldier retreated, drew back his long stick, and immediately struck a second time. Dongfang Zhi raised his shield and wooden sword, but he blocked it again. He then caught up with him and slashed diagonally with his sword, hitting the opponent first. The victory was determined.
Unexpectedly, the soldier thought about it and was still dissatisfied!
Luo Er was watching Jin from a short distance away. He knew that the two men's moves were simple at first, and the winner could be determined by just one or two moves. But if he were to take the lead, he probably wouldn't be able to stop them with even one move.
He still has many things to learn from his uncle, including martial arts of course, otherwise he would be hacked to death by others if something happened, which would be too frustrating.
