"Brother Mu, everyone is here."
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the dozen or so young men in front of him.
Needless to say, people like Chen Sheng were originally driven by horsemen and asked for work on horseback. The rest of the people probably had never even ridden a horse.
"Boss, I, I know a lot." A younger young man in the crowd hurriedly raised his hand.
"When I was young, I made friends with the young master in the village. He lent me a pony and gave me a few rides."
"Not bad." Although he sighed in his heart, on the surface, Xu Mu still praised it generously.
"Then choose a horse and let's ride it and see."
Not long after, the situation became terrible. Except for Chen Sheng and the other four, even the young man who had ridden the pony had his face covered in dirt.
"My boss, look at my golden rooster independence!" Chen Sheng stood up on the horse arrogantly, and sure enough, he had a golden rooster independence.
"Look at the eggs..."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. The bandits had no idea that they were going to rob the village in the next two days. With a manpower disadvantage, they could only use surprise troops.
And these more than ten old horses bear his high hopes. Among the five drivers, Zhou Zun was injured.
"You don't have to do any work for these two days, just stay in the small horse farm and practice riding horses. If you do well, each of you will be rewarded with one tael of silver."
After hearing this, more than ten young men cheered again.
"Chen Sheng, you are so stupid, don't be independent! Hurry up and teach me a good lesson!"
"Brother Mu, what about me?"
"Si Hu, you can't do it."
"Why, Brother Mu?" Si Hu looked excited.
"Those old horses can't even carry you for a few steps. I have other things for you to do."
Si Hu can even hug a tiger to death, so being a little cavalry is really a waste.
"Then, I'll listen to Brother Mu."
Xu Mu himself was not sure when those bandits would come and kill him. The only thing he could do now was to use all his strength to stop this robbery.
To the south of Zhuangzi, there is a huge winery.
The food has arrived, and according to Xu Mu's wishes, no matter how the world changes, the business of survival must not be lost.
Except for the dozen or so young men who wanted to practice horse riding, almost everyone was busy in the wine shop at the moment.
Xu Mu took the trouble to walk back and forth, carefully explaining the steps of winemaking and fermentation to the winery workers who knew little about it.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Xu Mu planned to go into battle personally before Zhuangzi became stronger.
"Master, it's time for lunch."
Xiniang stood at the door of the wine shop, her face so red that she was almost dripping with water.
Every time she thought about what happened last night, she would secretly curse herself. What should we do if the boss gets angry and drives her out of the village?
Xi Niang didn't dare to think about it anymore. While lowering her head, she couldn't help but peek at Xu Mu pitifully.
Xu Mu nodded, smiled and spoke forward.
"Everyone, Xujiafang is not an evil person like Zhuangzi. Let's have lunch and then come back to work."
Many people in the wine shop stopped their work in surprise, thanked their boss, and walked out in groups of two or three.
Not long after, only Xu Mu was left, standing alone by the wine shop.
"My boss, my boss." Xi Niang stepped out from the corner, her eyes filled with tears.
Xu Mu was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back, fearing that his wife Jiang Caiwei would appear out of nowhere.
"Dong, boss, I'm dirty, I'm cheap, please don't be angry, boss." Xi Niang's voice was almost pleading.
"You're not dirty." Xu Mu was silent for a while and then spoke seriously.
"From the bottom of my heart, you are a good mother. You are really not dirty. You are cleaner than many people."
Xi Niang was stunned, covering her mouth, trembling and bowing hastily.
…
When the aroma of fermented wine hit his nose, Xu Mu counted the days and realized that three days had passed before he knew it.
For three whole days, the bandits did not show up.
It’s obvious that you’ve already laid out your sword, and you’re obviously not ready to die anymore, so what are you waiting for?
But this is good, as it allows the dozen or so young men training horses in the small racecourse to have more time to get familiar with each other.
After checking the wine shop and finding that there was no problem, Xu Mu stepped forward and hurried to the small horse farm.
Before walking a hundred steps, I raised my head and saw a haggard-looking Jiang Caiwei, squatting on the ground, helping a village woman wash wild vegetables.
If I remember correctly, it seemed that the little maid's wife had been avoiding him for a few days. Even if he occasionally bumped into him, he would say hello in a hurry and walk away quickly with his head lowered.
"Caiwei." Xu Mu hesitated and called out.
Originally, I was thinking that there was only a layer of window paper between me and Jiang Caiwei, but now it's better, because of the extramarital affair, the window paper has been replaced by iron window strips.
"Xu, Mr. Xu's family, I'm here to settle the accounts."
As strange as old friends in the mountains and rivers.
Xu Mu was still hesitating about some words to warm up the relationship. Before he could regain his senses, Jiang Caiwei's thin body had disappeared in front of him.
"Split into two wings and outflank the left and right!"
"Punching through is the most basic tactic used by cavalrymen to divide the battlefield."
"Give me some more practice. Even if the old horse dies, I will buy it again!"
In the small horse farm, more than a dozen young men were all sweating profusely. For three days, they were exposed to the rain and the sun. In addition, they fell off their horses again and again. Unconsciously, their originally submissive temperaments became calm. many.
"Light riding is for speed, heavy riding is for stability." Xu Mu's voice was deep, "If you learn how to ride a horse well and have money in the future, I promise you that I will buy some good horses and give them to you. .”
"Don't stop whipping! Don't bend your body! The power of riding is that the lance is pointed at it, not even a blade of grass will grow!"
At this time, Daji was still in the mixed stage of riding and walking. Of course, the most fundamental reason was that there were only a few horse farms in Daji. The general tactic is for the infantry to line up in the middle of the formation and the cavalry to outflank both wings at the opportunity. The success rate is not high.
On the contrary, Beidi, who was a pure cavalry force, mainly used light cavalry, combined with small horse bows, and shot in a roundabout way, beating several Dingbian camps of Daji into running away.
"Practice again!" Putting aside his thoughts, Xu Mu coldly put his hands behind his back and stared at the situation on the field.
Chen Sheng, who was riding a colorful old horse, relied on his skillful riding skills to make a quick detour and suddenly stretched his neck.
"Zhou Luo, what's wrong with my boss? He seems very angry today."
Zhou Luo took a breath and said, "Brother Sheng, the bandits are probably coming to rob the village, and my boss is in a bad mood."
"Chen Sheng, you are so stupid! Be more serious to me!"
Chen Sheng shrank his neck and hurriedly sat up. He pinched the horse's belly with his legs and continued to run in circles in the small racecourse with the dozen or so people behind him.
On the high pile of firewood, the crazy scholar put his hand into his chest, kneaded out a clay ball, and then slowly took a sip of wine.
"Everyone in the north laughs. I have never ridden a horse, but I don't know that a small wine shop has learned the art of riding."
"My son Li Poshan once stood at the top of Yongguan City, wiping his sword with wine and blocking the knights with his bow."
"All of the six thousand people in Zhengzheng City are not bad men."
