Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

This time I went to the grassland mainly to focus on cavalry, and the main thing to compare was horsepower, and the second main thing to examine was the skill of riding and shooting.

You must know that the war horses of the Tang Dynasty are precious resources, and there are very few who can become cavalry, and even fewer are good at riding and shooting.

Even Shu An couldn't help sighing secretly, the number of people was much smaller than he imagined.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

.......

Then there was a sound of driving a horse, and the horses stopped in front of the high platform.

Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly a young general in white robes, and Shu An couldn't help showing a smile when he landed on this figure.

Because this person is his student Xue Rengui, whether it is driving the horse or dismounting, it is done in one go, without the slightest unnecessary movement.

On the high platform, many princes also noticed this young general in white robes, and they couldn't help showing a hint of interest on their faces, even Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but fall on him.

"Isn't this Xue Rengui?"

But Li Shimin couldn't help but muttered in his heart, because he had seen the relationship once or twice, so he recognized it at first sight.

However, thinking of Yafu's words before, he couldn't help but hesitate again. When did a scholar become so proficient in bowing horses.

Shu An also didn't miss these gazes, and couldn't help but say in his heart, this appearance seems to be a perfect score, and it didn't take him so long to prepare.

Since it’s fine if you don’t do it, if you decide to do something, then you must do it the best.

This is Shu An's principle, and he is also the same when it comes to treating his disciples. It is inevitable that he did not have the idea of ​​creating momentum when he appeared on the stage today.

There are many variables in going to the grassland. If there is an uninformed conductor, it can be said that he is close to death, and he can only rely on the blessing of heaven.

Shu An naturally did not allow this to happen, so naturally he wanted to fight for some benefits for this student.

"Order, let's start the martial arts!"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he said, after all, this horse riding skill does not mean anything, and many scholars are equally good at horse riding.

However, Xue Rengui left an impression on him, and this appearance alone made people have a lot of good feelings.

"The martial arts begin!"

As Li Shimin's words sounded, the guards' rough voices sounded beside them, and they began to pass on one by one.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of beating the war drum sounded again, and more than a dozen of the thousands of horses began to gallop around the hunting ground.

Every time he rides, he is showing off his horse skills, which arouses Shu An's interest a lot. This is a juggling show in the eyes of later generations.

But in this era, it has become a manifestation of one's own riding skills, but it's just a look, the key is to ride and shoot.

If the skill of bow and arrow is not good, then no matter how much you can control it immediately, it will be useless.

Chapter 61 Unexpected Targeting

"Swish! Swish"

A cavalryman passed over the high platform and drew his bow to the full moon. He shot at the most certain time, and the sound of arrows piercing through the space sounded.

"Pfft, puff!"

However, compared to the arrow, the sound of hitting the target is much less.

Shu An frowned slightly, but seeing the unstable faces of everyone around him, he knew that this was the characteristic of the times.

The art of riding and archery is what the nomads are good at. If it is not really needed this time, most of the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty will not be able to practice the art of riding and archery.

After all, compared to the nomadic people who are all soldiers and have no arms at all, the arms of Datang are clearly obvious.

Datang, who originally didn't have many war horses, was already very reluctant to use it as cavalry, let alone use it for both bow and horse.

But even so, Shu An continued to watch patiently, and suddenly a young general caught his attention, which was different from other fancy riding moves.

This young general is simple and unpretentious, but when shooting an arrow, he actually hit the red heart directly. You must know that even if he hit it before, it was only outside the red heart.

And although this one didn't have many outstanding performances in riding skills, he was the best in riding and shooting.

Not only Shu An, but even several princes also looked at him, and couldn't help showing a hint of interest on their faces, just seeing how familiar this person was.

Suddenly, an excited voice sounded beside me!

"it is good!"

The source of this voice is Qin Qiong. Others don't know who this person is, but can Qin Qiong not recognize him? It's his own son, and even the armor and horses are chosen by himself.

"Isn't this Huaiyu?"

After Qin Qiong's voice sounded, Cheng Yaojin finally recognized that this young general was not his nephew.

"Shubao's son?"

"You son of the general family, Shubao will succeed you."

.....

After the words fell, the other princes also recognized him one after another, and they couldn't help saying that there was a hint of appreciation in their words.

It's just that after a while, the dukes felt that something was wrong, because if Qin Huaiyu took the lead, then it meant going to the grassland.

After thinking of this, they didn't know what to say, even if Li Shimin also had some hesitation at this time.

Otherwise, he would find a reason to keep Qin Huaiyu, otherwise, if Shubao really lost a son, he would really feel a little bit unbearable.

Compared to the strange expressions on the faces of the people present, neither Shu An nor Qin Qiong paid much attention to it.

Shu An was because it was his student's turn soon, and Qin Qiong's attention was still on his son, and something of the past seemed to be recalled in his eyes.

"If I remember correctly, this young general in white robe is benevolent, right?"

Seeing Xue Rengui who was already preparing, even Li Shimin couldn't help saying, with a hint of affirmation in his words.

It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. After all, this is Duke An Xuan's student, so how could he not pay attention.

Regardless of whether the grades are good or bad, it will definitely become a topic of discussion. You must know that it has been proved that An Xuangong is a great master, famous all over the world.

But these are all among the scholars, and no one is optimistic about the journey of generals who face their students.

"The battlefield is not a game, and not everyone can come."

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded, as if he was looking for something on purpose.

In an instant, the presence couldn't help but fell silent, and couldn't help but look at the source of the sound, which was Zhang Liang, the Duke of Changping County.

Military generals like Cheng Yaojin couldn't help showing the appearance of watching a show on their complexions. Zhang Liang would not be kicked by a donkey for daring to provoke An Xuangong.

Don't you know what Anxuan Gong did when he returned to Chang'an? You must know that Lingyan Pavilion alone is also on the list. This is a kind of revenge in disguise.

At this moment, Shu An's face was a little stunned, as if he hadn't expected to have the impression of this person, and then a soft voice rang in his ear.

"Teacher, this is Zhang Liang, General of the Right Guard, Duke of Changping County. He has just returned to Chang'an."

Du Ruhui did not know when he came to Shu An's side, and at the same time showed a serious expression on his face. After all, Zhang Liang was clearly talking about his junior brother.

If he didn't make some expressions, it might spread out and make people think that he has betrayed his master. Similarly, the eldest grandson Wuji next to Li Shimin looked equally serious.

After hearing Du Ruhui's explanation, Shu An's eyes were not angry but there was a smile on his face. In fact, he really knew Zhang Liang.

Because this person is the most misnamed person in Lingyan Pavilion, if it is characteristic, then he will please Li Shimin.

But Shu An knew what Zhang Liang was planning with a simple guess. Zhang Liang came from a humble background and had always held a lot of hostility towards scholars.

In addition, if this person said who he was most concerned about, then it must be Li Shimin. Maybe he didn't know where he heard that Li Shimin was not against him.

Presumably, taking advantage of this opportunity, he couldn't help but add insult to injury, trying to please Li Shimin.

"Do you think it's a surefire game?"

Out of the corner of Shu An's eyes, he caught sight of a middle-aged man who seemed to be somewhat complacent, and thought silently, if it develops according to the normal situation, Xue Rengui's background in martial arts is average, which is in line with Zhang Liang's words.

Then maybe I will be accused of meddling in the military camp in the end. Although Li Shimin will definitely not take anything against him, Zhang Liang will definitely be looked down upon.

Speaking of it, he was a little bit of a backdoor behavior. Although a tacit understanding had been formed, it was always ugly to poke it out.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, which made Zhang Liang, who had been paying attention to Li Shimin, couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

Could it be that he said something wrong, you must know that he clearly remembered that this majesty did not want to see Yafu.

Especially in the past few years, he even heard the voice of resentment from this majesty, has this changed?

Also, there seemed to be some strange eyes looking at him from around, as if there was a hint of sympathy, but when Zhang Liang thought of the young general in white robe who was about to start performing martial arts below, Zhang Liang became more confident in his heart.

Naturally, Shu An didn't miss the expression of the Duke of Changping, it was obvious that he would not give up if he didn't jump into the Yellow River.

And he also noticed that Zhang Liang was unpopular, and Zhang Liang didn't have any outstanding achievements.

Naturally, he couldn't get the approval of the military commander, just from the current title, it can be seen that it is ordinary, but because of Li Shimin's insistence, Zhang Liang was ranked in Lingyan Pavilion.

It can be said that this naturally made many generals dissatisfied, but in the end they could only pinch their noses and admit it, but naturally they didn't like Zhang Liang, so why should this person be side by side with him.

Military generals can't stand it, let alone civil servants who have always been at odds with military generals. For example, Changsun Wuji can't even look down on Cheng Yaojin, let alone Zhang Liang, who is just the county prince.

Chapter 62 Arrows startled, military exercise

From a certain point of view, Zhang Liang is somewhat similar to Wei Zheng, the difference is that Wei Zheng even hates Li Shimin, while Zhang Liang will please Li Shimin.

How could one not get wet shoes when walking by the river? Shu An knew that the Duke of Changping County would not end well in the future.

Shu An didn't say anything at this time, on the one hand, it was a matter of tolerance, and he was a generation ahead of Zhang Liang.

Even if there is anger in his heart, he will still be calm and calm on the surface, not to mention that he has not had any emotional fluctuations in this matter from the beginning to the end.

Because if someone sent him to his door to humiliate himself, then he just reluctantly accepted it.

Just as the high platform fell into a strange atmosphere, Xue Rengui also started his own martial arts performance.

Xue Rengui naturally didn't know what happened on the high platform in the hunting ground, but he knew that his teacher had prepared so much for him.

It was for today's martial arts performance, so Xue Rengui had already made up his mind not to be underestimated by others, after taking a deep breath.

"drive!"

A white figure was galloping fast on the hunting ground, and Xue Rengui's movements were also not superfluous, as he had heard from his teacher.

What is needed on the battlefield is to be fast, precise and ruthless. There is no need for any redundant methods. Killing the enemy is the only pursuit.

Xue Rengui has always kept this sentence in his heart, and agrees with it from the bottom of his heart. Any unnecessary battlefield actions may consume his own energy and give the enemy a chance.

Although Xue Rengui doesn't have extra fancy movements, but compared with the previous people, it feels like one word, fast.

You must know that when you are about to reach the target, no matter who you are, you will control the speed of the horse a little bit, but Xue Rengui does not, and has absolute confidence in himself.

This scene naturally made many generals frown slightly, but they didn't say anything, but continued to watch.

Coupled with the previous disputes, even some princes who don't care about Xue Rengui can't help paying attention, at least on the surface Xue Rengui makes them feel good.

As for the specifics, it depends on the next martial arts performance. At the same time, when Xue Rengui was almost in front of the target, he drew an arrow from the quiver behind him.

"Swish! Swish"

The bow is like a full moon, and it is done in one go!

"boom!"

The arrow pierced the air, as if with a huge force, it directly smashed the target that had already been inserted with a lot of arrows, and split it into pieces.

"Suck!"

The general present couldn't help but gasped, and directly smashed the target, how much strength was needed.

Even their normal archery can't do it, at most it can penetrate, but Xue Rengui is on the horse, so the strength he can use is even smaller.

At this time, Xue Rengui's performance was not over yet, two arrows fired in volley, and landed directly on the center of the target without any suspense.

Although not as amazing as the first arrow, it is still an eye-opener. To know that this can be achieved, even the generals present, few dare to swear by it.

"Swish! Swish"

Three in a row!

It seemed that there was only one white figure left in the whole hunting ground, which took away all eyes.

Although there was no change in Shu An's complexion on the high platform, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, as if he was confident before the exam, but there was a trace of worry before he saw the exam paper.
