Prime Minister take care

Chapter 111
Yizhou, Xiancheng.

Under the snow in early winter, the earth is covered with silver.In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Xian sat on the Grand Master's chair, rocking back and forth.In front of him, the figures of two uninvited guys, an old man and a young man, were shaking.

There was a large casserole on the table with steaming hot wild boar meat just out of the pan.But I saw Tong Gu and Xia Gongnie on both sides of the table, scratching and studying.

"My lord, you were right. My lord's food is really better than ours. They all have the same ingredients, so why are they so different in taste?"

"Old Tong! That's of course, my father-in-law is cheating! He only feeds us food from the big pot, so we can cook a small stove by ourselves."

As he said this, the two foodies, old and young, didn't mind the difference in their seniority, so they started eating, chatting away while eating, not treating Yang Xian, who was not far away, as an outsider.

Yang Xian lay on the Taishi chair, rolling his eyes.He didn't expect that these two guys, who were dozens of years apart, could still have something in common.

"My lord! The cooks in your palace are not very good either! I went to the palace with my lord for a banquet a few days ago, and the taste was far worse than what I had when I went to the Shendu Palace."

Xia Gongnie's eyes shone with envy.

"Old Tong! You've even been to the Capital of Gods for a banquet. Are you so awesome?"

Tong Gu stroked his beard, smiled, untied a leather bag from his waist, and took a sip of wine.Blush came to his cheeks, and Tong Gu started chattering mode.

"It's a long story to talk about the banquet in the capital of the gods. Your grandfather's grandfather was still in power at that time. I had just become a soldier and was sent to chase down the bandits in Jizhou. The situation at that time was very special. It's dangerous! The general we led was a loser. He brought 3000 soldiers and horses, but he was almost killed by 1 of the opponent's men. In the last battle that affected the situation of the war, we were starved of food and horses. If it weren't for I shot three arrows in a row and killed the three thieves, and I am afraid that more than [-] of our brothers will be left there."

"Lao Tong is so awesome."

Xia Gongnie praised it while stuffing meat into her mouth, mouthing and hands not stopping.

"Although that general is useless, he is not bad at all. He is your grandfather's grandfather's brother-in-law. It was he who took me to the banquet in the palace. In the corner, old Tong and I secretly tasted the dishes of the imperial chef. The taste."

Speaking of this, Tong Gu was still recalling the past.But when he woke up from the past, less than half of the wild boar meat in the big casserole had gone down.

Old Tong got anxious and said, "My lord, why are you so cunning, you did so much while I was reminiscing about my youth!"

"Old Tong, don't you know that a soldier never tires of deceit? Have you read the book on war in vain?"

Xia Gongnie stuffed her mouth with meat and said vaguely to the old boy who was competing for food with her mouth bulging like a fat-headed fish.

Lao Tong immediately stopped talking and devoted himself to the great cause of eating up the pot of wild boar meat.The old one and the young one ate back and forth and competed with each other.

It wasn't until the bottom of the pot was empty, Tong Gu touched his round belly and burped with satisfaction that he remembered that Yang Xian was still there.

"Oh, my lord, I've been here for so long, old Tong. What kind of official do you want me to be? I can't always live in this house for free! I've gained several pounds these days."

"Captain Shooting Water!"

Yang Xian shook the fan in his hand and said slowly.

"No, lord. I was a captain decades ago. After so many years, I have to move up a level!"

"That's right!" Xia Gongnie nodded her little head and helped.Xia Gongnie is still very loyal to this foodie friend.

"That Qin Feng came here with 800 people, Xiangfu, just give him the title of Cavalry Commander. Old Tong brings 3000 people, no matter what, he has to be made a general!"

Yang Xian rolled his eyes, Xia Gongni was responsible for this.If she is allowed to be in charge of finance, the Kingdom of Shu will be defeated by her sooner or later.

"Qin Feng led 800 people. They were elite cavalry with both men and horses. Is it too much to call him a cavalry captain? Lao Tong led 3000 people, most of whom were old, weak, women and children. The rest were strong and strong, and even one of them couldn't get together. .”

"So it is."

Hearing what Yang Xian said, Tong Gu was not angry either.He was rough and bold by nature, stroked his beard, and looked suddenly enlightened.

Yang Xian sat up, looked at Tong Gu, and said: "The Kuafu clan is good at shooting, and you, old Tong, are the best among them. Changce Army happens to be training new soldiers, and I will also allocate you three thousand soldiers. If you can train them If you become a first-class archer, then I will ask the king to give you a general. If you can train ten thousand elites, then you will be a general."

"Don't worry, my lord! Leave it to me, Old Tong, and I will definitely bring you an elite army."

Tong Gu had never met such a grand master as Yang Xian, and he immediately became energetic.

On the battlefield, archers and crossbowmen coexist, but their uses are very different.The requirements for using a crossbow are very low, and it can be used by people with a little training.But archers are different. Without years of training, it is impossible to become a qualified archer.

On the battlefield, a crossbowman can shoot at most two to three arrows in one minute. In the same time, a qualified archer can shoot two or three times as many arrows as a crossbowman.

In other words, within the same period of time, one archer can withstand three crossbowmen, forming a dense firepower in the combat area in a short period of time.

What's more, in the inheritance of the military line, the training methods for crossbowmen are very low, but there are quite a lot of training methods for bows.

But even so, there are still a few people who are willing to specialize in archery.After all, in a field battle, ordinary archers can shoot at most two or three hundred steps.At this distance, the cavalry can rush over in just a few breaths, and the infantry doesn't take much time either.

The archers' appearance time is quite small, and they mostly cooperate with other units to fight together and play a supporting role.

The training methods of the military lineage become more and more difficult to practice as you go up, and archery masters like Tong Gu are really rare.

Yang Xian pointed to the box next to him, and Tong Gu took out a military talisman from it.

"Take this soldier talisman and go to the Changce military camp outside the city to select 3000 people. You can choose the people you want. It doesn't matter if there are not enough people. I have prepared a special stronghold for you, with the strength of the Kuafu clan and your Selected soldiers go to it for training."

"Got it!"

With a smile on his face, Tong Gu took the soldier talisman and ran out.The remaining Xia Gong Nie also chased after her with a very anxious voice.

"Old Tong, why did you leave? Didn't we agree to go hunting for game in the mountains in the afternoon? The wild boar meat for tomorrow has not been found yet!"

"My lord, another day, another day!"

Tonggu's voice came faintly, as anxious as a monkey with its butt on fire.He was busy selecting soldiers outside the city at the moment, so he had no time to pay attention to Xia Gong Nie.
