Chapter 169
"What Wang Jun said, we will definitely present your Majesty with the opportunity." Liang Xiao interrupted Wang Xing's words, unwilling to listen to him to fool him any more.
Wang Xing was also very cognizable. Since Liang Xiao agreed to pass their opinions on the emperor, he would not talk about it anymore.
Although they just agreed to something empty, Liang Xiao was not polite. It was easy to express their opinions to the emperor, but it was a favor. Although they were called wind and rain in Wu County, they were like powerful people, but it was not so easy to see the emperor, and they might never have a chance in their lifetime.
He helped them so he naturally had to get some benefits, otherwise it would be a loss. It would be not easy for men to go on a trip, so he had to get some benefits.
Liang Xiao revealed his meaning in a faint way. Wang Xing immediately understood and agreed repeatedly, and promised that when the officials and the others left, they would prepare a generous gift for them. Liang Xiao nodded with satisfaction. "There is another thing to bother Wang Jun."
"Mr. Liang, please tell me."
"Please arrange for craftsmen to create a pair of hoofs and stirrup iron for each of our war horses. If there is leather or wood in it, I will ask them to trim the saddle for us. I can provide you with the patterns of various utensils."
Wang Xing and Wu Qianqiu exchanged glances. Wu Qianqiu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. Liang Xiao and others had more than a dozen horses, which was a considerable fee. Especially Tie, the Wu family's Tie was bought from Xuzhou at a high price. If he hadn't been worried about being defeated by Minyue, he wouldn't have let Liang Xiao and others enter Fuboli.
Li Jiao pulled Liang Xiao's sleeve. "A Xiao, what are the squids and stirrups you mentioned? Our saddle is so good, why should we repair it?"
Liang Xiao whispered: "Do you want to have the ability to fight immediately in close combat in addition to riding and shooting?"
Li Jiao was stunned: "What did you say?"
Liang Xiao patted Li Jiao on the shoulder. "I thought of a way. Maybe it can give the brothers the ability to charge with their halberds and kill their opponents at close range."
Li Jiao sneered and looked at it disdainfully. "How is this possible? It's not easy to ride and shoot, and charging with a halberd is not something that ordinary people can do. If you really want to charge with a halberd, everyone can charge with a halberd, then we will all become King of Chu, and as long as we have eight thousand soldiers, we can do the world."
Liang Xiao's heart moved.
He has always been unwilling to be too shocking and is sent to drink talisman water as a monster. So apart from the specious single-winding cycle, he hardly mentioned the science and technology of his previous life, and tried his best to make himself look like an ordinary Han teenager. Of course, he could do the essential artifacts such as stirrups and saddles, but under the guidance of this idea, he refused to do it because he was afraid that he would not explain clearly and arouse suspicion.
Now he decided to do it because he found that without these things, it was almost impossible for him to improve his riding skills in the short term. It was almost impossible for him to reach the same level as Li Jiao and others. The siege of Fuboli was resolved. The battle in Wuxian was not over yet. He didn't want to fall into a horse and die because of his lack of riding skills and end his time traveling life. For the sake of his life, he didn't care about so much.
Of course, how to explain naturally without loopholes has become a headache for him.
Li Jiao's words reminded him that the Han people may not be as sensitive as him, and their acceptance of new things may be far beyond his imagination. What's more, he has a very good excuse for ancient books.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was the order of Qin Shihuang, and then the war lasted for many years, and a large number of ancient books were destroyed. If there was anything recorded in ancient books but not known, it would be too normal.
Who knows how to make the Gongshu Class that has been flying in the sky for three days without falling?
Compared with this wooden kite, stirrups and saddles are considered hairy.
Who can tell why Xiang Yu, who grew up in Wu, suddenly had 30,000 cavalrymen, with the children of Jiangdong as the main force?
After knowing that Huan Chu, Zhong Liqi and others might be Xiang Yu's old subordinates like Zheng at that time, he suspected that the military tactics taught to him by Huan Yuan were related to Xiang Yu. Later, he talked with Liu Ling and realized that the military tactics were not complete, and a large part of them were left out, and even Huan Yuan himself did not know. If there were one or two sentences in these incomplete military tactics that inspired him and prompted him to invent these things, wouldn't it be normal?
I was so cautious that I was a little too cautious.
Liang Xiao smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why... bet on a host?"
Seeing Liang Xiao like this, Li Jiao immediately felt guilty. Last time he lost a green horse in his most confident craftsmanship, he still felt distressed. He bet with Liang Xiao again, and I don’t know what he would lose.
"Then let it go, I'm afraid you can't afford to lose." After Li Jiao said that, he turned around and left without waiting for Liang Xiao to answer.
The men laughed loudly. Two men came forward and pulled Li Jiao and joked with him. Several people laughed like a ball, and you stab me and I scratched you. People in their twenties and nearly thirty years old were not in a straight shape like children who were not adults. Liang Xiao was really drunk.
Liang Xiao and Wang Xing walked aside, found two blacksmiths, and drew a sketch on the ground to explain their intentions. Whether it is stirrups or hooves, it is not complicated. As soon as he said it, the blacksmith understood, without even a sudden expression. Perhaps in their opinion, these things are very common in the Central Plains.
Wang Xing then found a carpenter and a cobbler, and Liang Xiao explained to them the use of the Gaoqiao saddle. These craftsmen understood Liang Xiao's meaning without much effort, and promised to turn around and prepare.
After everything was arranged, Wang Xing looked around and said to Liang Xiao quietly: "I have sent someone to find the Master Huainan. I dare not say whether I can find it now. However, if the Master Huainan is on a trip, I may not be able to bring many people. Just by them, can I intercept the fleet of Minyue?
"Of course not. So heroes like Wu Jun need to make a splendid move and work together to avenge bloody hatred."
"Mr. Liang means to let the people of Wu County organize spontaneously?"
Liang Xiao smiled. He said intentionally or unintentionally: "When Fujian and Yue came, it was late summer, and there was still a lot of water in Songjiang. Now it was early winter, and the water was much shallower. They returned with a full load and drew deeper. If there were any wooden stakes, stones, iron chains and other things in the water, it would probably not be so easy for them to escape with Yu Lipin. When they were trapped in the river, they could not take care of the beginning and end, and then how would they fight with us?"
Wang Xing suddenly realized, looked admirable, and gave a thumbs up. "Liang Jun Gaoming."
Liang Xiao smiled knowingly: "Mr. Wang is good at planning, I'm just helping you improve it. I think Lord Yan will agree with this plan. After all, he doesn't want to delay it for too long, and he also hopes to teach Yue Thief a lesson."
Wang Xing laughed loudly.
Liang Xiao also smiled, but cursed Wang Xing's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart. This scholar was too bad and wanted to use him from the beginning. If he was not very vigilant and had been as straight as Li Jiao and others, he would have been sold to the point where he had not even left his bones.
Two days later, the stirrups and other things were almost ready, and Li Shuyun also rushed to Fuboli with Yan Zhu's order.
Yan Zhu is already anxious.
Yan Zhu was very satisfied when he learned that Liang Xiao had shot Jing Tian and captured Zheng Fang alive. Zheng Er brother and sister. He was determined to wait for Liang Xiao to shoot Jing Zhao or Yu Shan to lift the siege of Wu County. However, he waited for a few days and never heard any news again. It was not until Wang Xing sent someone back that he knew that Liang Xiao and others were resting in Fuboli.
Yan Zhu ordered Liang Xiao and others to take action quickly, strive to shoot and kill more generals of Minyue, shake the morale of the Minyue army, and lift the siege of Wu County as soon as possible.
Liang Xiao was not interested in Yan Zhu.
To put it lightly, eat a lamp grass, do you think it is so easy to shoot the enemy generals. Jingtian also knows that hiding in the camp and not coming out. Jing Zhao and Yu Shan will run around like Zheng Er? Which general is not going to travel, and no one is coming within a hundred steps. Do you think I am holding a large sniper or a missile? I am holding a bow with a range of less than a hundred steps, but I am surrounded by others before I even entered the range.
However, Liang Xiao said nothing. He knew that Yan Zhu was not interested in him now. Without Yan Zhu's consent, he exchanged Zheng brothers and sisters for Li Jiao. After Li Jiao's gratitude, Yan Zhu formed a gang with the Li family and his son, and he didn't know how to tear him up in the future. With Li Guang's temper, how could he easily expose this matter? It was almost a foregone conclusion to find Yan Zhuo's trouble.
It is estimated that Yan Zhu has the will to kill him now. Of course, it’s just thinking about it. Based on the current situation, before returning to Beijing, Yan Zhu has no choice but to do anything about him, and after returning to Beijing... I guess there is no way.
The general was away, and Jun Ling was not accepting anything, not to mention that Yan Zhu was not Jun. Liang Xiao decided to follow his own way. He discussed with Li Jiao, Wei Qing and others and decided to attack again. Unlike last time, they did not have a specific task this time, so they were more calm.
Wang Xing and Liang Xiao and others walked with him and left Fuboli. He wanted to go back to Wu County to ask Yan Zhu and Prefect Dou to inquire and mobilize the noble families of Wu County to join the war. Wu County's overall economic development is not as good as the Central Plains, but the strength of the noble families cannot be underestimated. Most of them were from the six kingdoms and had been in Wu for sixty or seventy years. There were many servants and private soldiers in the family. If they could gather together, they would be a very considerable force.
In fact, these powerful men have gathered together long ago, but they are formally authorized by the government. They dare not make a big fuss and lack unified dispatch. They can only stick to their homes and do not act in a unified way. Now the time for a counterattack is coming, so of course they want to join forces and do a big fight, and then grab the things stolen by the Minyue people.
When the imperial court sent an envoy, Yan Zhu was the best authorized person. Unfortunately, their relationship with Yan Zhu was not harmonious enough and they were unwilling to bow to Yan Zhu. Wang Xing went around so many circles, but he hoped that Liang Xiao and others would appear, give advice to Yan Zhu and give them permission.
Liang Xiao had this intention. He and Yan Zhu didn't deal with each other much, and needed a force outside the government to help him seize the opportunity to make contributions.
Both of them get what they want, and they hit it off naturally-
