Lei Hong pondered for a moment and began to analyze seriously.
"Master Marquis, if you can give full play to the advantages of war horses, ordinary bandits will not have to worry about thousands of people. If they exceed 10,000, they can still come and go freely. They can kill until they are weak and retreat! If they are regular soldiers, they can deal with thousands of people, even if they are enemies. With tens of thousands of troops, at least we can escape unscathed!"
Gu Pingxiu and other Xuanwei who followed Liang Xiao nodded silently, feeling in awe.
Rejon was not exaggerating.
Now the eighteen Yanyun cavalry are all elites selected from a million. At present, the men and horses are wearing the best leather armor provided by the Great Zhou Army, and they carry light leather shields.
This kind of leather armor and leather shield are made through multiple processes, and their defensive capabilities are even stronger than ordinary light armor. Compared with iron armor, they are also lighter. A set of leather armor and leather shield weighs about fifteen pounds.
Coupled with the recent "devil training" arranged by Liang Xiao, these Yanyun heroes who used to drink to drown their sorrows have better team combat capabilities than before.
Even with thousands of troops, we can’t keep him!
Now the Xuanwei finally understood that Liang Xiao was indeed very discerning.
Those fine horses from the Western Regions are great value for money, and Wu Tumu can be considered a conscientious horse dealer!
"But if Lord Marquis leads us to fight, looking at the military formations in the world, where can we go?"
Lei Hong spoke quickly and blurted out, his face full of excitement.
The pupils of the Xuanwei present shrank and they all looked at Liang Xiao. Seeing his calm and calm expression, they felt even more surprised and suspicious in their hearts.
Lei Hong's implication couldn't be more obvious: Is he far inferior to Liang Xiao?
As a former Northern Territory warrior, the extremely brave Lei Hong was well-known in the military world. He was considered a rare warrior. He could compete equally with a peerless warrior like Mu Lingxiao in horse warfare, and he was the best in foot warfare in the Northern Territory. Laoding The princes often asked him to lead troops into battle.
If he hadn't offended Gong Yangyun, no one would doubt that Lei Hong would be at least a general of the Four Towns in the future.
Such a fierce general needs Liang Xiao to lead them into battle?
Where can the world's military formations go?
Even though they had already known in advance that Liang Xiao was both civil and military, Lei Hong's words at this moment still gave them quite a shock.
What is the level of martial arts of this "Future Prince Consort"?
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Deep in the desert, there is a vast sea, and there is also a mountain where wolves live in Xu. One day, maybe we can all drink from the vast sea, seal wolves and live in Xu, and leave our names in history!"
"Okay! The Sa family didn't understand what the Marquis said about drinking horses from the vast sea and banishing wolves to live in a cub. But once they heard it, they felt it was not simple!" Lei Hong slapped his head, and the eyes of the eighteen heroes shone brightly.
Liang Xiao gently stroked Honghu's horse's neck and sighed: "It's not easy. But the time is not yet ripe, and now you are the face of the Lanling Marquis Mansion. This time, I need you to hide in the convoy of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion. , to deal with possible bandits along the way."
"Master Marquis, just don't worry. If a bandit blocks the way, discipline him and he will never come back!" Lei Hong patted his breastplate with a confident look on his face.
Gu Pingxiu asked doubtfully: "Master Hou, the convoy of Dingguo Hou Mansion took the official route. There should be no bandits in the area around the capital, right?"
Liang Xiao shook his head and said: "Just in case, because this time we have to escort people and various important tools to Jiangnan, there must be no mistakes. If those big families had the slightest bit of vigilance, they should have targeted me long ago."
"What the Marquis means is that these aristocratic families may secretly collude with some bandits or bandits disguised as rebels, and want to destroy the Marquis's business at any time?"
Liang Xiao looked at Lei Hong with a surprised look on his face, nodded and said: "Not bad! You can actually think of this level, Lei Hong, you must read more books in the future, you will definitely become a famous general in the future!"
Lei Hong patted the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "General Zhengbei told the Sa family when they were chatting before. Both he and Marquis Lao Ding are sure that there are many rebels in the country, and they are all supported by aristocratic families. Raising bandits requires self-respect." Well!"
Liang Xiao finally felt relieved and made arrangements immediately. Three days later, the Eighteenth Cavalry of Yanyun would set off with the convoy of Dingguo Hou Mansion.
Gu Pingxiu on the side looked even more serious.
This convoy also included some workers from Xuanwei and Liang Xiao, which was indeed crucial.
This is just Liang Xiao's business operation and has nothing to do with the imperial court. Otherwise, his master will definitely appoint an army to escort him.
Although the capital is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory with countless counties and counties. Liang Xiao is preparing to expand his business territory across the country and severely impact the industries of these aristocratic families.
The wine and book industries are just the beginning.
Liang Xiao returned home, looked at Jiang Fuxue who was writing obediently, and smiled happily.
"Yunxiu girl, what have you been busy with lately..."
As a princess, Duan Yunxiu is the only remaining relative of the empress. She often helps her sister handle government affairs and palace affairs.
After becoming sworn friends with Jiang Fuxue, she and Mu Qinxue would occasionally visit Jiang Fuxue at night, listen to his stories, and take turns polishing ink for him with Mu Qinxue.
As Jiang Fuxue said, red sleeves add fragrance.
This girl always calls him "Brother Xiao" and makes his bones brittle every time she calls him. She never causes trouble for herself, and she always tries her best to provide him with support and act as a bridge between him and Duan Yunyi. microphone.
"This girl seems to be working harder and harder recently, although I always feel like something is wrong."
Liang Xiao looked at the poem written by Duan Yunxiu to himself in the newly learned thin gold style, and muttered to himself, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
In Mu Qinxue's boudoir, Duan Yunxiu lowered his head and said nothing.
"Second sister, why are you so depressed?" Mu Qinxue asked with concern.
Duan Yunxiu looked at Mu Qinxue pitifully, and said in an aggrieved voice: "I have already told my sister the purpose of collecting whips recently. It turns out that she has discovered it a long time ago."
Mu Qinxue's expression changed: "Ah? Then wouldn't I be exposed too?"
Duan Yunxiu pursed his lips and nodded.
Mu Qinxue became nervous instantly, and was about to persuade Duan Yunxiu to destroy the whip, but unexpectedly, Duan Yunxiu suddenly covered his mouth and snickered again.
"But after my imperial sister found out, she gave me many kinds of leather whips, finally a hundred. She said she would fully support our 'hunting' of Brother Xiao!!"
Mu Qinxue was surprised and happy.
In the room, the two girls started whispering and laughing extremely wildly.
"Ah sneeze!"
Someone who was drawing in the room suddenly sneezed and muttered to himself: "It's late autumn, I almost forgot to keep warm."
As he spoke, Liang Xiao's eyes fell on the cotton coat he was wearing.
"..."
"Is someone thinking about me again?"
Liang Xiao murmured to himself, then took off the sheathed sword from his waist, thoughtfully.
"Is it true that there are no skilled craftsmen in Dazhou?"
The imperial arsenal could only provide him with a few sets of leather armor, which was the result of Duan Yunyi's full support.
As for those important weapons such as heavy armor, which were all required for frontline military supplies, Duan Yunyi was helpless, but allowed him to build up to a hundred sets by himself, provided that he reported their use to the court.
The permission to store one hundred sets of heavy armor actually proved Duan Yunyi's full trust in him.
He needs Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry to shine. Whether they are heavy cavalry or light cavalry, they can amaze the entire military world.
This was the starting point for him to change the military status quo of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty, which did not make any changes in its military affairs, was currently able to protect itself, but it may face internal and external troubles at any time, especially the iron hoof of Beihu moving south.
But he visited the blacksmiths in the capital, and he couldn't praise the level of armor forging.
The blacksmiths who specialized in forging armor all worked for the imperial court.
While Liang Xiao was thinking, a Xuanwei came to report with an invitation.
"Master Marquis, the son of the Marquis of Dingguo of Da Chu, Xing Feng, the daughter of Hussar of Da Chu, Li Xinwen, please invite me!"
