Royal road

Putting on the crotch and changing into small boots, Liang Rong took a soft bow and went to the school yard in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.At the end of September and autumn, it was time for the autumn exams again, and the Chongwen Hall had to make room for the exam room, so those children who entered the school had a ten-day vacation.However, Liang Rong did not relax his demands on himself. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to practice more archery and try to get the first place in the Six Arts Examination.

However, when he arrived at the place, Liang Rong found that he was not the first to come.In the middle of the school field, a man is bending his bow and drawing the string, aiming at a wooden target in the distance.Just looking at the back view, there was an overwhelming force on that person, the sound of the string vibrated, the arrow feathers galloped, and they nailed to the target with a bang!

Because the distance was too far, Liang Rong couldn't even see which ring he hit.But this arrow was enough to make his eyes wide open, and he was inexplicably excited.This is the arrow shot by General Yi!

The story of two thousand Qingqi breaking through Youzhou has already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jinyang.Who doesn't know that General Yi, who broke the siege of Bingzhou, is so loyal and brave!Liang Rong still knew the inside story, but he couldn't help but be fascinated by it because it was so dangerous and exciting.That person is his archery teacher, this alone is enough for Liang Rong to be proud of!

As if he knew there was someone behind him, Yiyan put down the longbow in his hand, turned around and said, "Morning, Mr. Rong. Did you come to practice arrows?"

Liang Rong nodded hastily: "Six arts exams are about to take place, so I dare not neglect them."

Yiyan had been with Liang Rong for a while before, and he didn't feel bored at the moment, and said, "Let me shoot some arrows."

Liang Rong's archery skills are among the best among children.But after hearing Yiyan's words, he couldn't help being a little nervous.The servants behind him set up the target, Liang Rong took a deep breath before walking forward, nodding the arrow and drawing the bow.It's been a while since I changed to a soft bow, but now that Liang Rong is here, it's not too wasteful.It was at the critical moment that Liang Rong fired three arrows, and all the arrows hit the bull's-eye!

Excitedly, he turned his head and looked at Yiyan.The other party did not hesitate to praise: "Young Master Rong has improved a lot in his arm strength, and his posture is also excellent. In the next stage, we should pay attention to breathing and try with a live target."

Liang Rong nodded vigorously, then remembered the other party's practice just now, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Why did Master Yi start practicing target again?"

He knew that Yiyan was left-handed, and he only practiced with his right hand when practicing arrows, and he didn't shoot much at the target.Today it seems that the left-handed arrow is used, and it is still a target in the field, which is really rare.

Yiyan said lightly: "My arm is slightly injured, and it needs to be practiced to recover."

He spoke lightly, but Liang Rong's little heart twitched.He had also visited Yiyan before, and the bandages on his body were still fresh in his memory.But the other party never showed pain, and gradually he felt that these injuries were not very serious.Now it seems that it is not so good at all!How many injuries should it take to allow a sharpshooter who has never missed a shot to practice archery again?

Seeing some discoloration on Liang Rong's face, Yiyan coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Why don't you and I shoot arrows together, just to practice breathing rhythm."

This is a rare teaching, how could Liang Rong miss it.The two stood side by side, one holding a soft bow and the other a hard bow, and just shot arrows like this.

When Liang Feng came back, he saw this scene.Two people, one big and one small, moved in unison and echoed in rhythm, practicing archery seriously.The face of the younger one was flushed, and the forehead of the older one was also sweating, obviously it had been practiced for some time.After playing a round, Yiyan will lean over and point out a few words, not seriously.

But now is not the time to practice hard.Liang Feng coughed lightly and interrupted the two of them: "Boyuan, your injuries haven't healed yet, don't practice for too long. Rong'er, is your arm sore?"

Seeing his father, Liang Rong hurried forward to salute: "Teacher Yi is very good at teaching, Rong'er's arm is only slightly sore..."

"I won't be able to lift it tomorrow." Liang Feng smiled and asked the maid to wipe Liang Rong's face, then took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yiyan.

With a slight touch of their fingers, they separated.Yi Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, put the handkerchief in his bosom, and asked casually, "Master, don't you have to go to the government office today?"

Even if he wasn't in the front hall now, he should be in the study. He saw that the other party was busy with business, so he took time out to practice arrows.Unexpectedly, he was still caught.

Liang Feng smiled slightly: "There is something I want to show you."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and said to Liang Rong: "Rong'er is on vacation today, do you want to learn a lot with Father?"

It's not clear what father is going to take them to see, but Liang Rong will never refuse any chance to accompany his father, and immediately nodded: "Rong'er wants to go!"

Liang Feng smiled: "I'm going to go far today, go ride your pony."

After admonishing his son, he said to Yiyan again: "Is your leg completely healed?"

Yiyan nodded: "Doctor Jiang said it's all right."

With Jiang Da as a guarantee, Liang Feng nodded: "Then let's go riding together."

If you want to travel, the following will naturally arrange it quickly.But this time Liang Feng did not prepare a guard of honor, he only brought a guard.After leaving the city, he drove unhurriedly to the foot of Longshan Mountain.There used to be many high-end villas and farms here, which were specially used to escape the summer heat.However, many years of wars have damaged a lot, and it looks a little deserted.The guards did not stop, and continued to move forward. After bypassing a ridge, the front suddenly opened up.

When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, Yiyan was shocked and blurted out: "Racing field!"

It is the racecourse.Surrounded by the two mountains in front, it formed a long and narrow open land.In the mountain depression, the grass is green and the river is clear. It seems that autumn has slowed down a few steps, and it is still green and thick green.In this fertile wilderness, countless horses are grazing the weeds leisurely, and there are pastures and houses where servants live in the distance, which is obviously a well-established horse farm.

Seeing Yiyan's surprise, Liang Feng smiled and said, "It's a good horse farm. I just got [-] horses from the Tuoba Department, and I will be able to provide horses for Tiger Wolf Cavalry in the future."

Now it is the honeymoon period between Bingzhou and Tuoba, and the mutual market between the two sides is extremely prosperous.Horses are the biggest trade.Xianbei's horses are much cheaper than Jin's own horses.But no matter how cheap it was, Liang Feng couldn't hand over the lifeblood of the cavalry to the Tuoba tribe.It is inevitable to build a racecourse.It just so happened that there were quite a few other Huns who joined the army, so he recruited some experienced herdsmen to train a group of herdsmen of his own.

After the surprise, Yiyan thought of the practical problem: "I'm afraid this racecourse will cost a lot of money."

A system built from scratch is always expensive.No matter how much Yiyan likes it, he still has to consider the cost.

Liang Feng smiled, "This is just the Jinyang Horse Farm. Afterwards, the Xinxing and Yanmen counties will also set up pastures. Half farming and half pasturing, soon, we won't have to rely on others."

Xinxing County and Yanmen County are already close to the outside of the pass, and there are many grasslands for grazing.Liang Feng didn't mean to completely reclaim the barren fields, after all, there were few people there, and it was adjacent to the Qianghu and Xianbei territories, and was on the front line of the war.It is better to maintain the customs of some nomads, and slowly increase the population of cultivated land as the city recovers.Occupying land in such a steady and steady manner is much more cost-effective than recklessly reclaiming wasteland.Frontier ranches can also serve as the first line of defense against invasion.The cavalry in the future will probably have to be tested in Border County.

Just a few words, to my ears, it became a magnificent picture scroll, and Yiyan's breath became short of breath: "Within ten years, I will finally be able to build a tiger and wolf army for my lord!"

An invincible cavalry that can withstand all enemies!Even better than when Han Wu was back then!

Looking at that confident and flamboyant face, Liang Feng felt comfortable all over.Liang Rong was stunned by the scenery, and asked in awe, "Father, what are we going to do with these horses in winter?"

Liang Feng chuckled: "Someone harvests pastures and feeds them. If Rong'er wants a foal in the future, he can choose it here."

"My child will also ride a Wusun horse in the future!" Liang Rong immediately reacted and said loudly.

"If you can ride, of course you can. But now..." Liang Feng paused and turned his head, "I do have a few horses here, and I need Boyuan to check them out for me."

Staring at those pitch-black star eyes, Yiyan seemed to realize something, and his shoulders suddenly tensed up.However, Liang Feng didn't give him too much time to buffer. There was a crisp sound of hooves, and ten horses appeared in front of the three of them.

There is no saddle and bridle, no bridle, only shiny mane and strong body, those unruly tall horses, even the sound of their hoofs reveals a delightful arrogance.This is a famous Wusun horse that is rarely seen on the grassland, there are ten of them!

Yiyan grasped the reins tightly, and the mounts under him were stamping uneasily.From the side, a voice came: "A good general should be a famous horse. I gave it to you that day, and I have never regretted it. It saved you for me."

Yiyan was startled, and got off his horse.I don't know if I jumped too fast, I staggered my steps.However, he didn't stop. He strode past many horses and stopped in front of a steed.The horse was not all pure white, it had quite a few spots of markings on its body, but it was as handsome as any of the other horses.

Seeing someone approaching, the horse tilted its head and stared at the man in front of it with big eyes with slender eyelashes. It didn't look like fear or disgust, just doubt and curiosity.After a while, it snorted suddenly, leaned over, and pressed its head against the opponent's forehead.

Yi stretched out his hand, his five fingers trembling, and brushed lightly on the bridge of the horse's nose: "Calling you to chase the sun, okay?"

I don't know if I understood it, but the big white horse stretched its neck and arched him hard again.Yiyan laughed, pressed the horse's back, and flew up on it.Without a saddle, without a rein, he seemed to be one with the horse, and regardless of the people around him, he gave a light shout: "Drive!"

The horse let out a long neigh, and started to gallop, light and fast, as if chasing the wind every day!

Looking at the back that went away in an instant, a smile appeared on Liang Feng's lips.He will wipe away the remaining pain from that day one by one.Equip him with the best horse, choose the sharpest sword for him, build a stable rear with one hand, stick to the city, and raise countless horses.He can give all these!

Liang Rong frowned and looked at his father.For some reason, he suddenly felt that everything in front of him was separated from him by a layer.It seemed that those words, those joys, belonged to the tacit understanding between the two.Is it because of General Yi's unparalleled bravery that he can get such love from his father?

Liang Rong bit his lip and looked up at the tall Wusun horses again.He may never achieve the same feats as General Yi.But he is the only son of his father, and he also has a status that cannot be replaced by others.And he will one day be able to fulfill his father's expectations.

The horse's neighing was mixed with the rustling grass.The autumn wind is cool and the green fields are boundless.
