In fact, Huo Guang just thought it was fun to lead troops.
But he also knew that fighting the Huns was no joke.
so.
I'm still going to do my best to train these hundred cavalrymen. Even if he knew that even if his hundred-man cavalry were trained, General Wei Qing might not give him a chance to go on the battlefield.
There is a high probability that you will stay around and be a spectator!
Come here yourself.
It's said to be experience, but in fact, it's nothing more than a chance to rub off on his uncle's military exploits.
"Ahem, I am the uncle of your hundred-man team, and I am your commanding officer. Get in line, wait for the armor and weapons to be issued, and after wearing them, prepare to practice cavalry slashing!" Huo Guang suppressed the excitement in his heart. , said calmly in front of these hundreds of people.
Next to him was a pair of uncles who were specially sent by his uncle Wei Qing to assist Huo Guang because he was afraid that the one hundred recruits would not listen to Huo Guang's words.
so.
After Huo Guang finished speaking, Dublin Yaoqing started shouting at the top of his lungs: "Put the team in line, didn't you hear what you said?"
With deputy Lin Yaoqing stepping forward to scold them, the 100 people quickly lined up their ranks.
Huo Guang then motioned for the new recruits to come forward to receive weapons and armor.
The armor that ordinary soldiers in the Han Dynasty could receive was nothing more than leather armor made of cooked cowhide.
This is not very good.
But the weapon is the best of this era, and it uses the Huanshou Sword of the Han Dynasty.
It was tempered using the most advanced steel-making technology of the Han Dynasty.
This is also a Han sword in the true sense.
For example, the most famous Tang Dao of the Tang Dynasty in later generations evolved from the Han Dao.
But let's be honest.
Compared with Han knives, Tang knives are a bit flashy.
All Han knives were designed to be used in fighting with the Xiongnu, while the designs of Tang knives began to be more aesthetically pleasing.
certainly!
There was nothing that could be done about it. The Tang Dynasty was luxurious, and the meaning of the sword became less pure.
anyway.
In addition to armor and ring-headed swords, ordinary soldiers of the Han Dynasty also had the most important defensive weapon, which was called hook set!
This is a composite weapon that combines a hook and a shield. There are hooks on the top and bottom, and a small iron shield with a back handle in the middle.
On the shield.
There is also a protruding spike.
How did the Han Dynasty soldiers fight against the Huns? Naturally, he held the hook in his left hand to hold onto other people's weapons, and held the ring-headed sword in his right hand to chop down the enemy!
It can be said.
The Han army was able to drive the Huns out of Mobei, forcing them to move to the west. They mainly relied on these two weapons, one offensive and one defensive.
Wait for the new recruits to put on their leather armor and pick up their weapons.
Huo Guang said with great satisfaction: "Okay, very energetic!"
"okay!"
"I won't say any more nonsense, get on your horse!"
Huo Guang was thinking about how he could practice charging with these 100 cavalrymen, but he never expected it.
These one hundred cavalrymen were well-dressed in leather armor and well-armed.
It's so hard to get on the kang, why not get on the horse?
Each one of them screamed for a long time, but they couldn't step up. Others, after finally climbing up with all their strength, fell down within two clicks.
Good guy.
Of the so-called hundred cavalry given to him by his uncle, none of them could even ride a horse. They were all new recruits.
How to bring this?
Seeing this, Huo Guang couldn't help but frowned and said, "What are you doing? Don't you know how to ride a horse?"
When the soldiers heard Huo Guang speak, they immediately stopped, looked at each other, and then shook their heads.
This made Huo Guang depressed.
Can’t even ride a horse?
Still rushing to kill...
"Okay, okay, don't even try. I'll teach you how to ride a horse first!" Huo Guang sighed, and now he could only endure it and teach these newbies how to ride a horse.
Soldiers, start learning from the most basic!
For example, how to mount a horse.
certainly.
Most of them are things that his brother taught him back then.
But let's be honest.
These new recruits are so talented.
Even when one mounts a horse, he or she is clumsy when trying to learn.
This gave Huo Guang a headache.
But he also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. So after teaching them a few times, I let them explore on their own.
At this time, Huo Guang circled around his horse twice, his eyes full of doubts.
Deputy Lin Yaoqing knew that Huo Guang's true identity was the champion Hou's brother, so he came over to talk to him: "Uncle Huo, is there something wrong with this horse? I see you have been circling it several times. If there is a problem, I will go there." Let me get you a war horse!"
Huo Guang raised his head and glanced at Lin Yaoqing, then shook his head.
Of course there was nothing wrong with his war horse.
only.
When I was teaching the new recruits how to mount their horses, I suddenly discovered a new problem.
The war horses of the Han Dynasty had saddles, but they were not high-bridge saddles; they had cloth covers for mounting the horse on one side, but they did not have stirrups on both sides; and most importantly, they did not have horseshoes to protect the horses' hooves!
These three pieces.
But it’s the cavalry’s magical uniform!
Especially the stirrups are the most important.
Once this thing is built, soldiers can free their hands when riding horses and fight with the Huns better.
As for the high bridge saddle.
Before the Han Dynasty, things like saddles existed.
but.
Before the Han Dynasty, saddles were used in a non-traditional sense, with little effect and no fixation.
The soldiers were still very slippery on their horses. The Takahashi saddle is different. Once this thing comes out, even a new recruit's egg will be difficult to fall off the horse.
When Lin Yaoqing saw that he was silent, he stopped asking for trouble and prepared to leave.
At this time, Huo Guang suddenly shouted: "Yao Qing, do you know where I can get some paper and pens in Nan Daying? I'm going to draw something!"
"Draw something?" Lin Yaoqing was stunned when he heard Huo Guang's words, and said, "Huo Duber, this is in Nanda Camp. Where can I get you paper and pen? It's not in Chang'an!"
Too!
In the army, it is normal not to have paper and pen.
But the main reason is that the two people's levels are too low.
For example, in the commander's camp of General Wei Qing, there will definitely be paper and pens. So, thinking of this, Huo Guang said to Lin Yaoqing: "Well, you keep an eye on these soldiers for me and practice while I go to the general!"
"promise!"
Lin Yaoqing listened to Huo Guang's words and responded.
Huo Guang also got on his horse and ran towards the general's camp.
A galloping horse is naturally faster than a carriage. What's more, it was still inside the South Camp. The place was not big. After a while, Huo Guang rushed to the general's camp at lightning speed.
"Hey!"
After stopping his horse and tying the reins, Huo Guang strode into the camp.
At this time, the general was discussing the battle plan with several of his generals. What they were looking at was a map with the outline of Mobei.
certainly.
There is only a rough outline, and the map is not very clear.
As for the map, it is not paper, but a large piece of brocade cloth.
"Uncle, I have something important to tell you!" Huo Guang walked up to General Wei Qing and whispered softly.
Wei Qing glanced at Huo Guang with narrowed eyes and hummed: "What did you call me?"
Huo Guang choked and shouted again: "General, Du Bo Huo Guang, I have something to report!"
See this.
Wei Qing then stopped discussing combat strategies with several generals, turned to look at Huo Guang, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Uncle, I found that the new recruits
Almost none of them have ever learned to ride a horse, and they can’t even get on a horse. So I plan to change the saddle and design something that can quickly help recruits who can’t ride a horse adapt to riding. This will definitely be beneficial for the battle with the Huns cavalry in the near future! Huo Guang complained to Wei Qing.
However.
General Wei Qing didn't know that Huo Guang was talking about the three-piece cavalry suit.
Even if it’s made clear.
But as an ancient man, Wei Qing could realize the importance of the cavalry's three-piece high-bridge saddle, stirrups and horseshoes?
Obviously not.
What's more...
Huo Guang hasn't explained the situation clearly yet.
I saw Wei Qing saying on the spot: "New recruits must be trained strictly, otherwise why would we lead the troops to drill?"
"Don't even think about taking advantage of this!"
"If you can't even lead a hundred soldiers, then come back and I'll immediately replace you with someone who can lead the troops!"
Good guy.
Huo Guang was afraid that if he continued talking, Wei Qing, the selfless and selfless general in the military camp, would be dismissed from his post by a man of hundreds of people.
Think of this.
Huo Guang could only shake his head helplessly and said: "No, I just want to teach the new recruits how to ride horses as soon as possible. It's not that I can't teach them. Since the general doesn't like my suggestion, then forget it."
Hear the words.
"Yeah." Wei Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"Gone."
Huo Guang shook his head.
Wei Qing immediately said: "Since nothing happens, let's go back and continue to bring in new soldiers. We are discussing the battle plan for sending troops to Mobei, and this is not what you can hear!"
The words were extremely serious.
When he was in Chang'an City, Wei Qing's temperament was indeed gentle and elegant!
But now he is in the army. As a general, the highest commander of the Han army, he must have enough majesty.
so!
Even his family members must be treated equally.
then.
Huo Guang could only hold up his hands and say, "No."
Although he is honest with his mouth, Huo Guang is honest physically.
Before leaving, he took the pen and paper in the general's tent and left.
Writing on paper is naturally much easier than on bamboo slips. Nowadays, books and paper are very common in Chang'an. As General Wei Qing's camp, it is impossible not to be equipped with such things as books and paper.
And after Huo Guang got the book paper.
the first thing.
Naturally, he began to design the structure of the high bridge saddle, horseshoes and stirrups. Since the pen is a brush, it can only draw a rough outline and cannot describe the details clearly.
So the painting is not very good!
But that's enough.
The key is that after designing the three-piece cavalry suit, how to reform it later is very important.
General Wei Qing can no longer go.
I just got scolded.
Huo Guang doesn't want to get into trouble!
But without his uncle's support, who would Huo Guang look for to get this three-piece cavalry suit?
In South Camp.
General Wei Qing has the final say in everything. Without his approval, let alone the three-piece cavalry suit, there would be no hot food.
so.
Huo Guang must find someone who can cure General Wei Qing!
After getting his approval, this three-piece cavalry set can be produced and equipped.
And how many people can control General Wei Qing?
I am afraid that even if I look through the entire Han Dynasty, only Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, can control Wei Qing.
But Huo Guang is in the military camp now, and his uncle doesn't allow him to go out, so he himself can't find Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
You can only let others find it.
and!
In this process, you must first find someone to deliver the letter for you.
After all, if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che wanted to agree to his reforms, he would first have to ask someone to take the letter out of Nanda Camp, and then
Later, I went to Chang'an to find someone who could ask to see His Majesty.
After some thought.
Huo Guang has already made up these two candidates in his mind.
The first one is Huo Guang's deputy, Deputy Dublin Lin Yaoqing.
In the south camp.
The only one who has interacted with him and who can listen to his words is him.
Therefore.
After Huo Guang finished writing the letter, he first went to Lin Yaoqing and said, "Deputy Uncle Du, I want you to go do something. Do you have time?"
Hear the question.
Deputy Dublin Yaoqing immediately raised his hand and said, "If you have anything to ask Uncle Huo, please tell me, and my subordinates will take care of it."
Huo Guang nodded, very satisfied with Lin Yaoqing's attitude, and said with a smile: "I have a letter here. You can help me deliver it to Sang's house in the city, and ask the great farmer Sang Hongyang to tell him that I wrote it to him."
"ah?"
Lin Yaoqing hesitated for a while.
Huo Guang immediately frowned and said, "What, is there a problem?"
If General Wei Qing hadn't issued an order not to leave the South Camp without permission, Huo Guang would not have needed Lin Yaoqing to do anything.
Wouldn't it be better for him to do it himself?
Lin Yaoqing raised his hands and said, "Uncle Huo Dub, isn't this good? What if I leave and the general finds out? And the training of the new recruits..."
Huo Guang hummed softly: "What's wrong with this!"
"General, I know. That's the order I gave you. You just do what I say. You're not a deserter, so what are you afraid of?"
"As for training new recruits, am I, Uncle Dub, any worse than you?"
Lin Yaoqing was a little embarrassed at this time and hesitantly said: "This..."
Seeing that he was hesitant, Huo Guang offered him a favor and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you make this trip in vain. You know about the Le Restaurant in Chang'an City, I own it!"
"When you arrive in Chang'an, you can go to the shopkeeper there to ask for some reward money, and at the same time enjoy the singing girl's dancing and fine wine."
"certainly."
"The premise is that you can't miss my business."
The carrot and stick technique is really tried and true!
After some coercion and inducement, he came down.
Lin Yaoqing listened to Huo Guang's words, took Huo Guang's letter, rode out of the military camp, and rushed all the way to Chang'an City.
The reputation of Here Le Restaurant has been unparalleled by any restaurant since the collapse of Chang An Le.
Lin Yaoqing had naturally heard of this restaurant.
pity.
Due to his poor family background, he, like many others, has never been to a gold-spending cave like this.
So when I came to Chang'an this time, I couldn't wait to come in and sit.
after all.
With Huo Guang's relationship, it doesn't cost money.
After coming in.
He took the initiative to find Bu San, the shopkeeper here, and said, "I came to Chang'an to work for Huo Dubbo. He said that I can get money here. Is that true?"
"Uncle Huo Du?" Fu San stared at the visitor with some confusion, not knowing what he meant.
At this moment.
Lin Yaoqing took out a jade pendant, gave it to Bu San and said, "Uncle Huo Dub said, you will know after you see this."
When Bu Sanyi saw the jade pendant, he was immediately surprised and said, "This is our young master's favorite jade pendant. Are you from the camp?"
Lin Yaoqing nodded, but did not speak.
He wouldn't talk nonsense about anything that happened in the military camp.
Knowing that the visitor was sent by his own son, Bu Sandang said politely: "Sir, please come to the private seat!"
Lin Yaoqing nodded and said, "Okay, don't bother me. I'll just sit down and have a rest. I'll take the money and leave."
The two of them were walking inside.
suddenly.
There was a little commotion in the restaurant. A drunkard drank too much and stopped the young lady to tease her.
However.
That little lady also had a strong personality, so she hit her with a slap.
In an instant.
Things got really big in the restaurant.
And those who can come here to spend money are people with unusual backgrounds!
Bu San saw that both parties were not easy to offend, so he immediately said to the employees in the store: "Quick, quick, go to the General's Mansion to ask Uncle Wei to come. The young lady of the Sang family has a conflict with Li Ji, a noble relative. , this is not something we can offend!"
