Royal road

Chapter 141

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the soil is so solid that not even an iron plow can break through it.When the cows and horses needed to be recuperated in sheds, the land reclamation gradually stopped.In contrast, refugees have more time to practice.

From two hours a day to four hours.As long as the sun rises, you can see that group of men in thick linen clothes practicing in line, shouting and fighting.Most of these people have seen the fierceness of the Huns cavalry, and felt the pain of being unable to resist and having to abandon their homeland.So when there is an opportunity to re-own their own fields, someone sends clothes and food, just to make them strong enough to protect themselves.That feeling of boredom and unwillingness immediately turned into momentum, which made people want to desperately strive for strength.

Riding on horseback, Yiyan stared coldly at the queue in front of him.Two months is enough to turn this group of people from mud-legged soldiers into soldiers who can serve.But after all, he is still a recruit, if he wants to go further, he has to go to the battlefield.

"Lieutenant, a total of fifty teams passed the monthly exam yesterday. Before spring begins, there should be a thousand or five teams." Sun Jiao reported loudly from the side.

Now these farmers in the official fields were all trained by Sun Jiao.To have such an achievement naturally made him proud.

"Before the beginning of spring, infantry and cavalry have to practice once. You and Wang Long each lead recruits and fight against each other in the field." Yi Yan said.

Sun Jiao's breathing became short of breath.The fifteen hundred soldiers under him are all infantry.And Wang Long led five hundred cavalry.Although they are all recruits, the cavalry has always had an advantage over the infantry, not to mention it is still a field battle.

However, after only a moment's pause, Sun Jiao immediately said: "The last general will be able to defeat the enemy's cavalry!"

Yes, in the future, this group of infantry will also face the Huns cavalry.Three times the enemy will retreat, so there is no need to fight that battle!Sun Jiao still has this bit of courage!

Hearing this, Yi Yan nodded slightly.Since the last bandit suppression, Shangdang has settled down.Tuoba Xianbei, who was borrowed by Sima Teng, was also quite brave, and the Xiongnu retreated steadily, retreating to the west of the central capital.In this way, these recruits will have no chance to fight.After the beginning of spring, the energy of the troops will turn to farming.If you don't practice in advance, I'm afraid these soldiers will not be able to go to the battlefield.

Seeing the officer nodding, Sun Jiao's heart was agitated again.Although he was born in the Liang Mansion, he has always been in charge of the bow and crossbow team, and this is the first time he has led such a new army.The same group of corporal leaders, Zhang He has now temporarily commanded the trilogy of the Liang family, but he wants to lead such a group of auxiliary soldiers for the semi-cultivation war, how can it not be embarrassing.

This military training is his best chance for promotion.As long as they are caught, this group of soldiers can also become a powerful army!For this group of people from the Liang family, they have never been afraid of fighting.On the contrary, daring to fight and eager to fight are their true colors.

Just like the young man in front of him.

In just one year, this battalion officer was promoted to captain.He also took off the last bit of greenness on his body.He is more than eight feet long, with the arms of a monkey and the waist of a wasp, majestic and majestic.What's even more frightening is that pair of gray-blue eyes, at a glance, he can't distinguish between happiness and anger, but only sees condensed murderous intent.If I hadn't been with him for more than a year, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to speak smoothly in front of him.

It's strange to say that this battalion was not so powerful back then.Could it be that after fighting too many battles, he naturally became like this murderous god?

Just thinking about it, a sound of horseshoes came from far and near.The herald Kuai Ma brought an order, three days later, the Fujun will lead the team back to the Liang Mansion.

■

At dawn, a convoy drove out of Lucheng.There were three hundred cavalry in the team alone, and there were ten ox carts accompanying them.It looks imposing.

This is the chariot and horse retinue of the prefect of Shangdang. In a few days, it will be the twelfth lunar month.As a marquis of the pavilion, Liang Feng of course had to return to the mansion to offer sacrifices to the family temple and hold ceremonies.This is the duty that the head of the family must bear. In addition, Liang Feng has not returned home for half a year, so Liang Feng set off a few days earlier and took his son and trilogy on the way home.

Riding on a black steed, Liang Feng wrapped himself in a fox fur cloak.Since he arrived in Lucheng, he has focused on repairing this official road.Now there are not many potholes on the road, and the carriage is much more stable when driving on it.But he still prefers to ride a horse. Although he is tired, it is better than motion sickness.

"Father, can Rong'er ride a horse?" In the carriage beside him, Liang Rong put his hands on the window, staring straight at Liang Feng with his big black eyes.

As the only heir of the Liang family, he also wanted to go home with his father to worship the ancestors.After finally taking a vacation, and walking with his father again, he was in high spirits and looked happy.

"This is a hurry, Rong'er should take a good ride in the car. We'll talk about it when we get back to the manor." Liang Feng lightly clamped his horse's belly, "Today, let's make a quick trip and stop at the inn outside Xuan's."

Yiyan straddled the horse and followed Liang Feng closely, but did not refute.After blowing the whistle, the team's speed immediately increased, and they rushed forward.

That night, the convoy drove into Xuanshi County without alarming the county magistrate, and only stopped at the post station for one night.They set off on the second day, and before noon, the convoy drove into the mountain road where the Liang Mansion was located.

"Looks like a quick march, one and a half days is enough to return home." Liang Feng leaned on the hidden table, and said to Yi Yan who was driving ahead.

This time I walked fast, partly because I wanted to test the capacity of the repaired official road, and the result was better than I expected.If all the roads in Shangdang were like this, they would be able to react more quickly when encountering enemy attacks.

"It's better for the subordinates to do the test quickly." Yi Yan replied.

There were too many horseback rides yesterday, when Yiyan saw his master dismount, Yiyan pushed him into the carriage regardless of the other party's protest.The weather is already cold, and if the muscles and bones are injured, a year of conditioning will be in vain.

With Luzhu and Liang Rong around, Liang Feng had no room to resist, so he had to drink motion sickness medicine and get back in the car.But even when he got into the car, he didn't let the team slow down.Only by rushing so fast can he return to the Liang Mansion within a day and a half.

Hearing what Yiyan said, Liang Feng couldn't help but smile.His saddle was carefully wrapped, even after riding for a day with back pain, the skin on the inside of his thigh was not worn.But with such a performance, he is content.Last year, he had to rest for half a day after riding a horse for a while. It seems that his physical condition has improved a lot.After a few more months, maybe he will be able to exercise systematically.

Just thinking about the plan for next year, a rush of horseshoes came from the front.Yiyan turned around and said, "My lord, Deputy Zhang Ying led the troops out to meet him."

"Pick up the brocade curtain." Liang Feng instructed Lvzhu.

The wind-shielding curtain outside the carriage was pulled up, Liang Feng sat in the carriage and looked out.I saw Zhang He leading dozens of cavalry to meet him.Seeing Liang Feng, he immediately got off his horse and knelt down on the side of the road: "The last general welcomes the Lord!"

"Deputy Zhang Ying, please." Liang Feng smiled, "But the sentry on the mountain detected the convoy?"

"Exactly." Zhang He replied with a bow.This time when the Patriarch returned, he did not notify the Fuchu at all.It was the sentry who was the first to discover the trace of the convoy and put it in the message tree.Zhang He reacted very quickly and immediately led his team to meet him.It seems that this choice was not wrong.

"You are determined. Join the team and go back home with me." Liang Feng was very satisfied with Zhang He's alertness and ordered.

Zhang He got on his horse again, and drove his horse to the side of the carriage, guarding him like the soldiers beside him.Sitting by the car window, Liang Feng asked casually, "How many soldiers are there in the mansion now?"

"Another three hundred new soldiers were added, six hundred auxiliary soldiers, and eight hundred auxiliary soldiers. They were all capable of fighting. Another three hundred recruits were sent to Lucheng and included in the cavalry battalion." Zhang He remembered firmly and quickly reported come out.

"Not bad." Liang Feng praised.

Such an achievement in less than half a year, it can be seen that Zhang He did not slack off in the slightest.It’s just that with such a ratio of people, it’s still a military-first policy. Fortunately, the mansion sells porcelain and glass, and has several other side jobs to support it, otherwise it really wouldn’t be able to support such a large group of people.It's a pity that although he became the prefect, he couldn't get back the two thousand shi salary at all, almost all of it was posted in Fucheng.

The cultivated acres and new population are not the data that Zhang He should have.So Liang Feng didn't bother to ask, and instead asked about the situation of the hospital and military equipment.Talking while walking, the convoy slowly circled the last mountain pass, Liang Feng suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at the side of the road.

I saw that both sides of the road were crowded with people in darkness.I don't know where I got the news, but all the villagers in the villages along the way came out to welcome him.I don't know who saw the convoy and the owner of the Liang Mansion sitting in the car first, someone shouted loudly: "It's the son of Buddha, the son of Buddha has returned!"

Like the wind blowing straw, everyone fell to their knees.Some people fell down and worshiped, some choked up and choked up, and there were also women who put their hands together and chanted scriptures.Like fanatic believers, the villagers all bowed their heads to the motorcade.

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "You arranged this?"

Zhang He shook his head quickly: "How dare the last general! The villagers greeted him spontaneously. The landlord has been away from the mansion for too long, and the farmer has been thinking about it for a long time."

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, only flattery does not wear.What's more, it was such an exciting scene.All the knights guarding the sides raised their chests high, and even Liang Rong who was sitting in the car trembled slightly with excitement.Liang Feng sneered, bowed and got out of the carriage, supported Yiyan's shoulders, and stood on the seat.

"My lord!" Yiyan was startled.This is the driver's seat, which is not spacious.Standing is even less safe.What if the horse is startled? !

However, Liang Feng patted him on the shoulder lightly: "It's okay, drive well, I can stand up."

Holding Yiyan's shoulder with one hand and putting the other behind his back, Liang Feng stood up straight like this.Beside him, there are hundreds of majestic knights, all in armor, with bright swords and helmets.Under his palm is a cold and fierce Jiehu with a high nose and different pupils, like a ghost.And the figure standing on the car was so slender and tall, with a handsome appearance.Just like the real body of Buddha being guarded by Vajra Yaksha!

The strong contrast made the voices below louder.More and more people lowered their heads, pressed their foreheads against the cold ground, and proclaimed the Buddha's name.The ground in front of them was also trembling, being trampled by horseshoes, billowing smoke and dust, like a torrent, indestructible and invincible!

This is the new prefect of the political party!This is the head of the Liang family they rely on!This is the immeasurable Buddha who blessed them, let them escape from military disasters and plagues, and escaped from death and catastrophe!

The roar of the mountains is like thunder!

Standing on the car, Liang Feng took a deep breath.Most people would be terrified when they saw such a scene.But he's used to it.I am used to receiving such pious worship, and I am used to carrying the prayers of these people on my shoulders.This is what he can carry, and he should be able to handle more!

At the end of the road, the gate of the Liang Mansion Village slowly opened to welcome their master, who had returned from a long journey.
