Three Kingdoms in a box

Chapter 111 Horse Dealer Su Shuang

After listening to Yan Liang's words, Zhang Jiao hesitated for a moment. He found that the hundreds of thousands of money he had were not enough at all. At this moment, Li Yu's voice suddenly came out. Don't worry about the money first, let Yan Liang Specifically talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this cavalry!

After hearing this, Zhang Jue immediately understood and said directly to Yan Liang: "Brother Yan Liang, it seems that you know the cavalry very well. Why don't you tell a certain family in detail!"

After hearing this, Yan Liang said: "Okay, then I will tell you."

Yan Liang said, "Although raising cavalry and war horses is quite expensive, it is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is the cavalry. In fact, you can buy war horses slowly as long as you give time, but a qualified cavalryman Training is difficult.”

"We usually ride horses, and everyone can see that the horse's back is very slippery. If you don't run, it's fine. But if you start running, the cavalry can easily fall off the horse, let alone learn how to ride and shoot, and kill the enemy with a sword immediately!"

Yan Liang said: "According to the military book my master left me, a qualified cavalry can only be selected from three or five out of a hundred people. But I just saw that in our security army, in addition to Li Dagou and other ten or so people, , the legs are strong enough, others can’t catch the horse while it’s charging!”

Zhang Jiao's face turned bitter when he heard this. He didn't expect this cavalry to be so difficult to train.

Li Yu outside the box also frowned slightly. Something was wrong. Isn't it the minimum standard for cavalry to shoot on horseback?

Li Yuke knew that the cavalrymen of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties could sleep on horseback. Not to mention riding and shooting, even children could do it.

Moreover, almost everyone in later generations of cavalry was able to ride and shoot. Why couldn't they do it during the Three Kingdoms period?

Li Yu was thinking about it when he saw a few tied horses not far from the military camp. Li Yu took a magnifying glass and went over to take a closer look. He didn't pay attention to these little guys before. When Li Yu was looking, he discovered a problem. Where!
The horses of the Three Kingdoms don't even have double stirrups, or even a high bridge saddle. They just make a cushion of leather and cloth on the horse's back. When riding, people sit on that cushion and need to hold on tightly with their hands. Reins, otherwise it is easy to fall off the horse.

No wonder during the Three Kingdoms period, those who could fight immediately were first-rate generals.

It turns out that there were no saddles in this era!
Li Yu thought about it and checked the information, which showed that the saddle was invented during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the double-sided stirrup was also invented during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is a gap of 200 years from now!

Seeing this, Li Yu understood why Yan Liang said that the cavalry was difficult to train.

Under the current conditions, it is indeed difficult to train cavalry, because in this era it is difficult to free your hands on horseback, unless you have superhuman leg explosive power.

Otherwise, your hands must hold the horse's reins tightly, otherwise you are likely to be thrown off by the running horse.

After all, there is no saddle, no stirrups, just a pad. The horse's back is very smooth. You can imagine that on a horse running at high speed, you can only use the strength of your two legs to clamp the horse's belly. At the same time, if you If you want to ride and shoot, you have to release the horse's reins with both hands. How much strength is required to clamp it!
But it’s funny to think about it. When Lu Bu, the first-class military commanders at that time, fought, they would fight with their naked horses’ belly between their legs and brandish long weapons in their hands. This is really not something ordinary people can do!
No wonder people can become the best in the world, this is talent!
Li Yu thought about it and said to Zhang Jiao: "Don't worry, I have a secret method to help you with training cavalry."

Zhang Jiao didn't say much after hearing this. He believed in Nanhua Immortal Lord very much, so he smiled and said to Yan Liang: "Brother Yan Liang, let's not talk more about the cavalry. I just ask you, if I can buy Bring back the war horses and solve the problem that the cavalry cannot take their hands off the reins. Can you train a cavalry well?"

When Yan Liang heard this, he looked at Zhang Jiao and said, "Can you solve the problem of this cavalryman being unable to take his hands off the reins?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao raised his hands to the sky and said, "I didn't say that, the Immortal Lord said it was possible!"

After hearing this, Yan Liang was immediately overjoyed: "If this is the case, a certain family will be able to train an elite cavalry!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "Okay, you can train the security forces these days, and I will help you find a way to buy war horses!"

Yan Liang heard this and said, "Then I have a great teacher, Lao Daxian!"

Zhang Jiao stood up and immediately sent people to Jitou Mountain. If he wanted to buy a war horse, the normal way would definitely not work, so he could only go through the underground organization. As for underground transactions, there is one person who can be considered very well-informed, and that is Ma Yuanyi!
This person used to be in charge of purchasing in Jitoushan, so he was familiar with the merchants who came to Jizhou.

Zhang Jiao sent someone to contact him. When he learned the news, he came directly from Jitou Mountain to Xiagouhe Village to meet Zhang Jiao without saying a word.

"Great virtuous teacher!"

Ma Yuanyi saluted Zhang Jiao, and then he saw Yan Liang sitting next to Zhang Jiao. This man looked unfamiliar!

Zhang Jiao stood up and said with a smile: "Yuan Yi, here you are, let me introduce you. This is Brother Yan Liang, a new disciple of the Immortal Lord, and he is currently the instructor of our security army!"

"Brother Yan Liang, let me introduce to you. This is Ma Yuanyi, the deputy company commander of our brave army behind Jitou Mountain."

Yan Liang also heard what Zhang Jue said about Jitoushan, and Yan Liang was very interested in it, especially what Zhang Jue said about the policy of walking on two legs, one light and one dark, which was even more shocking.

For a martial artist with a relatively simple mind, the first time he heard about this method of raising the bandits to respect themselves, it was really shocking!

The three of them sat down again. At this time, Zhang Jiao said that he wanted to buy a war horse. Ma Yuanyi was shocked after hearing this idea. You must know that horses are not something that can be purchased casually.

First, it is expensive, and second, it is a controlled substance.

Ma Yuanyi said to Zhang Jiao at this time: "Great Master, buying a war horse is not a small sum. A better war horse may cost [-] yuan!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao nodded and said: "I know, don't worry about money matters, I will find a way to solve it!"

After hearing this, Ma Yuanyi nodded lightly and said: "If money is no problem, we also have the channels to buy horses."

Ma Yuanyi said, after hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "Oh, tell me quickly!"

Ma Yuanyi said: "In our Jizhou territory, there are many horses smuggled from the north for sale. The big horse dealer in our Julu territory is called Su Shuang. He is very young but very courageous in his work. I have dealt with him twice and he is a reliable person." If you want to buy a horse, I think you can find this person!"

"Su Shuang?"

Li Yu, who was outside the box, frowned slightly when he heard the name. The name sounded very familiar. Where had he heard it before?
After thinking about it, I flipped through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that I had recently read, and sure enough, in the first chapter of the story about the sworn brotherhood in Taoyuan, this big brother appeared.

Su Shuang, a native of Zhongshan, was a horse trafficker in Jizhou. He and Zhang Shiping, a fellow businessman, helped Liu Bei organize the armed forces, and also gave Liu Bei thousands of kilograms of iron to build equipment.

In the end, they created the Qinglong Yanyue Sword used by Guan Yu, the Zhangba Snake Spear used by Zhang Fei, and the male and female double swords used by Liu Bei!
Seeing this, Li Yu knew who it was. It turned out to be Liu Bei's angel investor. That's it, you know!

Li Yu was thinking, and Zhang Jiao said: "Okay, since we are acquaintances, that's good. Yuan Yi, could you please make a trip and get in touch with Su Shuang to see if he has any horses, so that we can talk about it?" Deal!" After hearing this, Ma Yuanyi said: "Okay, Great Master, lend me a horse and I'll go for a ride. I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. I don't know what the market is like now."

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "Then it's a blessing for you."

Hearing this, Ma Yuanyi said: "Why bother? You can do something for our Taiping Road, I will be happy!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Okay, then go ahead."

After saying this, Zhang Jiao turned to Yan Liang and said, "By the way, pay attention to the soldiers of the security army in the past few days. See if there are any suitable young men who can learn riding and shooting. We can arrange training when the horses arrive."

After hearing this, Yan Liang said: "Well, I will pay attention to it, but I still need to test it to know whether it is suitable!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "How to measure it?"

Yan Liang said: "This standard can be fluctuated. Let's wait until the horse comes back to see how much it is, and then we can make rules!"

Zhang Jiao heard this and said: "Good!"
After Ma Yuanyi had a big meal of steamed buns in Xiagouhe Village, he went out to talk to Su Shuang about buying a horse.

As soon as Ma Yuanyi left, Li Yu continued to watch the soldiers practice marksmanship in the military camp in the afternoon.

As the big guys became more and more proficient in marksmanship, Yan Liang gradually began to increase their strength, such as hanging a stone on their steel gun head to strengthen their arm strength.

Everyone knows the principle of lever. Let the soldier hold the back one-fifth of the spear and hang a stone on the head of the spear. This is a great test for the big guy's arm strength.

At this time, everyone was practicing with their guns on horseback under the scorching sun. Yan Liang was walking among the crowd. He looked at a security soldier and kicked him in the knee without paying attention. When he found that his knee was not bent, he laughed and said : "That's right, hold on. The Immortal Lord told us that we should sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war."

Snapped!
Yan Liang raised his foot again, but the soldier did not stop and bent his knees. Yan Liang immediately said with a dark face: "What platoon and shift are you in?"

After hearing this, the soldier's face turned red and he didn't say a word. At this time, Li Ergou stood up and said: "Reporting to the instructor, it is our third platoon and second squad soldier!"

"Well, your whole platoon will stay and practice for an extra half hour tonight."

"Yes."

Li Ergou responded and stepped back. The soldier's eyes suddenly turned red and he said to Yan Liang: "Teacher, it's me who didn't do a good job. It has nothing to do with the third platoon. If you want to punish me, just punish me." one!"

Yan Liang heard this and said: "Nonsense, you three platoons are a whole. If you are not qualified, the others will accompany you. If you don't want the big guys to continue to be punished with you, you can practice the subjects for me!"

"Yes!"

The soldier said with a cry, and there was a trace of fierceness in his eyes. It was obvious that if he couldn't practice well, he would never give up.

Yan Liang looked at the fierceness in the soldiers' eyes and couldn't help but sigh, Xianzun's military training method is so awesome. The corporal punishment used in ordinary military training is scum under this method.

This is not ordinary corporal punishment, this is manipulating human nature!

Thinking of this, Yan Liang's admiration for Li Yu rose from the bottom of his heart. Not only did the immortal master know magic, but he also obviously knew the art of war.

He also read the "Military Training Manual" given by the Immortal Lord. It was really enlightening. He had an unprecedented understanding of the method of military training!
After an hour-long arm strength training, it was followed by actual combat drills. This was Yan Liangjia's subject. No matter how well the military formations were trained and how neat the formations were, it would not work without actual combat.

So Yan Liang had people make many sticks, wrap one end of the sticks in cotton cloth, smear white lime on them, and then start fighting one on one.

The fighting method is also very simple. The two people face each other, and then stretch out the stick. As long as they can stab the opponent's vitals, it is considered a success.

Among them, one blow between the eyebrows and the throat kills, a stab to the body within the chest area kills with three shots, and a stab to the thigh requires ten shots.

The two sides have a one-on-one decisive battle, and the loser needs to wash the stinky socks of the winner!

At this time, we saw soldiers dueling each other on the field. One soldier suddenly thrust out a stick and stabbed the other side. The other side immediately pushed the stick away, and then stabbed him again, and the other side pushed it away.

Both sides are fighting for the center line. This is the most correct way to use marksmanship. Always occupy the center line, so that you have an absolute advantage.

Don't care whether the opponent uses a knife or a sword. As long as the center line is in your hand, they will only be stabbed!
Therefore, the user of a gun should never lose the center line, because if you lose the center line, it means that the enemy has the opportunity to get close. If the enemy gets close, the advantage of the long gun will be lost.

Youdao is that every inch is longer and every inch is stronger, but the premise is that the enemy cannot get close. If he gets close, the advantage of the spear will not be much.

Therefore, Yan Liang trained them strictly at this time.

While Yan Liang was training, Lao Liu from the cooking class came over in embarrassment. Yan Liang knew Lao Liu. After all, the cooking class leader was considered a leader.

"What's the matter, Old Liu?"

Lao Liu looked at Yan Liang and said, "Coach Yan, it's like this. The monkey cubs under me are eager to see you training, so they want to follow you and learn two moves."

After hearing this, Yan Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have no problem with this. As long as the wise master nods, you can learn it."

After hearing this, Old Liu immediately said that there was no problem, and went to ask Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao frowned slightly, but quickly said: "If I say no, it will definitely dampen everyone's enthusiasm. In this way, as long as you don't delay cooking, you can Can."

After hearing this, Lao Liu quickly promised that he would not delay everyone's meal!
Zhang Jiao agreed. Seeing Lao Liu leave, Zhang Jiao began to think about buying a horse. Ma Yuanyi went to find the horse dealer Su Shuang. Whether he could find him or not was a question, but even if he found one, the money in his pocket was not enough to buy a war horse. , what a headache!
While Zhang Jiao was worrying about money, Li Yu had already locked the door of the villa and drove directly out to a hardware store in the city.
