In Yanzhou, the central urban area, a residential area in the south, mansions stand here. However, looking at the wood and stone on the surface of the ancient houses, it is obvious that they are very old.
Liang Xiao stood at the door of the largest mansion, looked at the closed door, and asked Xuan Wei beside him: "Is this definitely the Wenren family's ancestral home?"
Xuanwei said resolutely: "It's absolutely not wrong! Even if the times have changed, the location of the Yanzhou Prefect's Mansion remains unchanged. Based on this, we finally found the exact location. According to the owner of the mansion, during the previous dynasty, this place was indeed the place where people heard the news. Renshi’s residential area.”
Liang Xiao turned around and looked south.
The gate of this mansion is the official road to the south in the center of Yanzhou City, which extends to the city gate and is unimpeded.
The owner of the mansion was the patriarch of the Li family in Yanzhou. Hearing that the empress intended to purchase the house and give it to the Roman princess, she took the initiative to hand over the house deed without saying a word, and Liang Xiao also paid enough.
This mansion was sold for a total of ten thousand taels of silver.
After a while, hundreds of soldiers from the Liang Family Army walked out one after another.
"Master Hou, make sure it's safe inside!"
Liang Xiao was relieved. After arranging sergeants to guard the mansion area, he summoned Xuanwei.
"His Majesty specifically ordered that this matter should not be spread to outsiders. Once the location is determined, someone will be sent to inform Princess Diana immediately after repurchasing the mansion."
Xuanwei took the order, left Yanzhou that day, and rushed back to the capital without stopping.
Liang Xiao stared at the mansion, thoughtfully.
"Why is it so secretive to repurchase a mansion area? Is there something important hidden in it?"
Considering Diana's friendly attitude towards Da Zhou, it was naturally impossible for Liang Xiao to send people to dig three feet into the area.
We can only wait for Diana to come over for acceptance. This is her right as a descendant of the Wenren family.
After the arrangements for Wenren's ancestral home were settled, Liang Xiao returned to the military camp and selected some cavalry.
There are two thousand qualified cavalry in the Liang family army. They are all northern men who have riding experience and can be put into the battlefield after training.
In the racecourse, yellow sand is flying.
Thousands of cavalry train equestrianism and horse fighting here.
Zhuge Ding accompanied Liang Xiao to watch the training, and was horrified.
Under the guidance of Liang Xiao, these cavalry were well trained and already qualified as elite cavalry.
Lei Hong and others are also guided by Liang Xiao, who often leads cavalry training. In time, the Liang family's cavalry will be the best in the world.
He had long heard Zhuge Hui reveal that Liang Xiao was a disciple of the Martial Saint.
Who is Wu Sheng?
One person and one halberd are invincible in the world, the myth of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
It was precisely because of Wu Sheng that the cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to defeat the Yanzhao cavalry and drive away the Beihu Langqi who took advantage of the opportunity.
Zhuge Ding believed that Liang Xiao's cavalry combat experience should be derived from the true inheritance of the Martial Saint.
"The ability of Marquis Lanling is unfathomable!" Zhuge Hui admired sincerely.
Liang Xiao smiled modestly and said: "I can't lead training and command all the time. The Great Zhou Dynasty still lacks cavalry officers. There are many cavalry officers at Lao Dingguo Marquis, but they can only charge into battle, and there are still few talents who can train troops. . Moreover, the number of Zhou’s own cavalry is far from enough to defeat Beihu.”
Zhuge Ding asked: "Is it possible that Marquis Lanling intends to recruit An Jibei cavalry?"
Liang Xiao nodded slightly.
"This army is relatively secretive. Except for the attack on me this time, there is no clear record of attacking and killing caravans, but it can be considered. However, if you can pull up such a cavalry without anyone noticing, even if there are only a thousand people, the rest The leader’s ability cannot be underestimated.”
"After I came to Yanzhou, I met a rice merchant named Qin Shuang. He had a majestic appearance. I had some suspicions that he might be related to the Northern Hebei Army. After all, he was in the Youji area, and there was still a way to become a rice merchant. "
Zhuge Ding's expression changed: "Then we must investigate this person as soon as possible. If the grain he purchased is used to feed the Northern Hebei Rangers, the thieves will become stronger in the future and will be difficult to control!"
Liang Xiao shook his head and said: "Xuanwei has already been investigating, but found nothing. The source and destination of his food are very regular. According to my speculation, maybe those aristocratic families provide food and grass to the Northern Hebei Army. After all, they still control a large area of land."
"Based on the worst-case scenario, maybe the rebels in the country, such as the Tianri Sect, are also supported by the big families. After all, these rebels have no base!" Zhuge Ding said seriously.
"The court will deal with it one by one. For now, you and I still have to worry about the cavalry. Without the cavalry, we will not be able to pursue the defeated Beihu army, and there will be no victory. After all, the Beihu people are not without capable people. There is Li Mu who encircled and annihilated the Xiongnu during the Warring States Period. As a precedent, the Tuoba clan's twin dragons have joined us, adding more power to a tiger, so the enemy will definitely not rush into our encirclement."
Zhuge Ding nodded repeatedly, feeling the same.
He admired a commander like Liang Xiao who was thoughtful and far-reaching.
If it were another commander, he might have been able to follow Li Mu's example and lure the enemy deeper, then gather them together and annihilate them.
For example, Lao Dingguohou tried it, but ultimately failed.
The Beihu cavalry were far more cunning than imagined.
Liang Xiao found Lei Hong, handed over a manual, and repeatedly warned: "The Beihu cavalry may invade the country at any time, so don't relax, but don't be too nervous, and balance work with rest."
Lei Hong patted his chest and promised.
"The Sa family has been following the Marquis for some time, and they have benefited a lot, as you all know! What's more, there is General Zhuge helping me! Those cavalry brothers also said that if the court treats you so well, if you can't make contributions, you might as well commit suicide to apologize!"
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be so heroic. The Liang family army has its own ideological education, so just train accordingly."
Lei Hong thought of Liang Xiao's military orders and military laws, and nodded in awe.
Liang Xiao finished the training and guidance and returned home.
Mu Qinxue and Gongsun Yue were "competing" in the accounting room.
Xiahou Qingyi was teaching Jiang Fuxue how to practice swordsmanship, including postures, projects and drills.
"Is my brother going out again?"
Jiang Fuxue noticed that Liang Xiao had changed into casual clothes and couldn't help but ask.
Liang Xiao nodded and said, "I'm going to visit Mr. Dongye."
Jiang Fuxue said quickly: "Sister Qingyi, this is your responsibility."
Xiahou Qingyi nodded, holding the iron sword Liang Xiao gave her, watching him silently.
Liang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Just in time, the girl in Tsing Yi will go with us."
Xiahou Qingyi was delighted and immediately followed.
Jiang Fuxue looked at the two people's backs and sat down to rest, bored.
Duan Yunxiu's meaning had been conveyed to her through Mu Qinxue, and she only felt distressed.
Fortunately, this sister in Qingyi is indeed an excellent girl.
In the Higashino family's house, Higashino Luoyue was making tea for his father Higashino Xuanji.
The father and daughter were surprised and happy when they heard that Liang Xiao was visiting.
"Marquis Lanling has put his past grievances against you. From now on, you must change your mind and never disobey or slander you again."
Dongye Xuanji repeatedly warned her until her daughter obediently agreed, then went to welcome Liang Xiao in, intending to take him to visit Dongye Canghai.
"Her again?"
As soon as Xiahou Qingyi entered the door, her eyes that were so beautiful that it could make you lose your mind caught Dongye Luoyue's attention.
Dongye Luoyue couldn't help but follow him.
