The bow in Liang Xiao's hand has an effective range of more than 120 steps and is already the best bow in the army.
The elites of Beihu are also equipped with this kind of bows and arrows.
But as a general, this kind of bow and arrow is difficult to use.
Liang Xiao thought of Gongsun Yue again.
This girl is also from the Sword Clan, so you can try to make a deal with her.
Liang Xiao knew that the reason why she gave him a familiar heartache was not because they had known each other since childhood.
However, Liang Xiao is most concerned about the Guanlong nobles now.
After the exchange meeting, they still stayed in the capital and did not come to see me. They sent someone to make an appointment and wanted to visit in person. However, the other party closed the door and thanked them. They only said, "I will definitely come to visit you on a certain day. Don't worry about Lan Ling." "Hou Dajia".
When these people represented each family, they did not do anything inappropriate when meeting the saints.
Considering that the Guanlong nobles had a good chat with him at the exchange meeting, Liang Xiao was not in a hurry for success.
The land of Guanlong was also one of the Great Zhou's barriers against foreigners.
Once the Guanlong nobles rebelled, the trade route to the Western Regions would first be cut off. The Zhou people could only go up the river by water to enter Bashu.
Zhou Dynasty had to send more troops and horses to defend various dangerous passes, which was quite disadvantageous.
This group of military nobles are as thoughtful as themselves, and the situation may be more difficult to deal with than expected, but at least they have not shown any ill will towards the court for a long time. Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui are determined to be at odds with Beihu, which is the main reason.
While Liang Xiao was thinking, Gu Pingxiu brought him a famous bow given by Duan Yunyi.
"There are two thunder bows in total, both of which were carefully made by the palace craftsmen. One is in the hands of Marquis Dingguo and is now passed down to his eldest grandson, General Zhengbei Mu Lingxiao. The other one is kept by Commander Xuanwei. It can kill two people. A beast within a hundred and thirty paces.”
Liang Xiao took the Thunder Bow and looked at it.
This bow is sallow all over, and it must have been made of fine wood. It took many years of training to make it.
The effective killing range of two hundred and thirty steps is indeed a famous bow in this era, at least I can use it.
"call out!"
Liang Xiao picked up the Sunset Bow and shot a dozen arrows at the target thirty steps away. After finding the target, he started firing arrows without missing a beat. Every arrow hit the target. Gu Pingxiu's eyes were straight when he saw it. .
If one had not been proficient in bow and horse since childhood, it would be difficult for him to have such accurate shooting skills, let alone at night.
Two quarters of an hour later, Mu Qinxue came to Lanlinghou Mansion to visit the Liang Xiao brothers and sisters, and taught Jiang Fuxue how to play Go.
After Jiang Fuxue went to bed, Mu Qinxue and Liang Xiao sat under the eaves, looking at the moon, feeling satisfied.
After all, she is a young girl, and it is a great blessing in her life to be able to spend time with her lover.
Liang Xiao had a keen sense of smell, and the elegant body fragrance of the girl next to him came with the wind, making him couldn't help but look at Mu Qinxue.
The girl in green clothes under the moonlight is shy, gentle, peerless and independent.
It just feels like there is so much danger.
"Qin Xue, let's leave for Lanling in three days." Liang Xiao spoke.
"Okay~" Mu Qinxue agreed without hesitation, then asked, "But don't you need to train soldiers recently?"
"Starting tomorrow, I will arrange training programs for them. Uncle Zhuge will help with the training. With him here, basic training will not be a problem."
Mu Qinxue was relieved then, then she remembered something, her face turned red, and she hesitated: "I know you want to go to the battlefield in the future, but you are the only descendant of the Liang family. If you go to the battlefield without any heirs..."
Liang Xiao sighed: "The capital city is full of prosperity, and there are a large number of refugees. The outside world is unimaginable. If the generals are willing to die and fight cowardly, there will really be no hope for this country."
Mu Qinxue gazed at Liang Xiao with deep affection.
She understood what Liang Xiao meant. As the future prince-in-law of the Great Zhou Dynasty after Lanlinghou, even if he did not charge into battle, once he led the troops, he would at least go to the front line to command the battle.
In the current Zhou Dynasty, Zhuge Hui and her grandfather are still there to stabilize the situation, but they are already over 70 years old. How rampant will those aristocratic families be after a hundred years?
The fiancé in front of me turns out to be the man I am most proud of in the future!
"But you don't have to worry, I won't be impulsive and reckless. Moreover, I have the soft armor given by my master, which makes it difficult for swords to damage me. As for getting married and having children, I will strive for it." Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
"Oh, then Sister Yunxiu doesn't have to worry anymore..." Mu Qinxue murmured.
Liang Xiao said: "Actually, it was Yun Xiu who suggested that I take you to inspect the fiefdom."
"Oops?" Mu Qinxue was stunned and moved in her heart.
She is indeed my good sister! !
Duan Yunxiu has not yet married Liang Xiao, so it is indeed not suitable to accompany him to inspect the fiefdom. Lanling is still relatively far from the capital.
In the dead of night, the two of them discussed recent poems in the yard.
Early the next morning, Gongyang's wine shop had not yet opened, but no one paid attention to this matter.
Gongyang's shopkeepers sat in the wine shop, dejected.
Ever since Lanling Wine Shop started selling wine, almost all the customers have been attracted to it.
Even some old customers who have been there for more than ten years are slowly "rebelling".
After all, Lanling Winery's wine is of high quality and low price, and is popular throughout the city.
The other big families are helpless about this.
Yesterday, the wine at Gongyang's Wine Shop had been reduced to the cost price, but it still couldn't sell a few jars. In the end, it had to sell it at a loss and clear out the inventory.
The liquor industry in the capital was hit hard by Liang Xiao Liquor Industry, which made these aristocratic families deeply feel the effectiveness of newspaper communication.
A small newspaper not only spreads quickly, but can also be preserved for a long time, far better than ordinary word of mouth and handwriting.
They have received news that Liang Xiao is printing more copies of each issue of the newspaper and entrusting the Dingguo Marquis Mansion's fleet to transport them to all parts of the country. While making a small fortune, they can also expand the influence of public opinion.
These aristocratic families have monopolized officialdom for many years and have a keen sense of smell.
The sense of crisis that Liang Xiao brought to them was no less than that of Zhuge Hui and the Empress, but this was at the feet of the emperor, and they could not get rid of it quickly.
Unless the capital falls or Liang Xiao dies somewhere else...
In the early morning of that day, 2,500 new recruits gathered at the military camp.
Everyone was looking forward to Liang Xiao on the high platform.
From now on, they will enter the Lanling Hou Mansion and become Liang Xiao's retainers.
Military status means that they are officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Congratulations to all of you for passing the selection and becoming a member of the Liang Family Army."
As soon as Liang Xiao finished speaking, the 2,500 people in the audience knelt down on one knee.
"See you Lord Marquis!"
After Liang Xiao asked everyone to stand up, he said loudly: "From now on, the Liang Family Army will provide everyone with food, clothing, housing and transportation according to the standards of the elite troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and will also provide you with the best weapons."
Everyone was overjoyed and were about to say thank you, but unexpectedly Liang Xiao changed the topic and his tone was serious.
"However, once you become a member of the Liang Family Army and accept these benefits, you must strictly abide by all military orders from now on, with obedience as your top priority. Moreover, in the future we will inevitably face a worse war situation than other legions and face all powerful forces. Enemies, such as the Northern Jackal Riders!"
"Northern Jackal Rider?"
The expressions of all the 2,500 people who were originally in high spirits changed.
It was Beihu's most powerful cavalry unit, commanded by Generalissimo Beihu, and it was invincible.
The calamity of moving the capital seventeen years ago was caused by the army led by Marshal Beihu, which shattered the defense line of the Great Zhou Dynasty and brought endless nightmares to the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Liang Xiao said calmly: "Now it is up to you to decide. If you withdraw on the spot, you will be given three taels of silver as a gift. You can still join the army and serve normally in the future, but you will permanently lose the qualification to become any elite legion in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Everyone was stunned: "If you quit, you will get three taels of tattooed silver?"
