Royal Road

Putting on his crotch and changing his boots, Liang Rong took a soft bow to the schoolyard in the backyard of the Cishi Mansion. At the end of autumn in September, when the autumn exams are on again, Chongwen Hall wants to make room as an examination room, and these children who are entering school will have a 10-day vacation. However, Liang Rong did not relax his requirements. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to practice archery more and try to get the first place in the Six Arts Examination.

However, when he arrived, Liang Rong realized that he was not the first to come. In the middle of the schoolyard, a man is bending his bow to draw the string, aiming at a wooden target in the distance. Just looking at the back, there is a force of force on the person, the string shook, the arrow feathers stark, and the sound of Dole nailed to the target!

Because of the distance, Liang Rong couldn't even see which ring he shot. But this arrow was enough to make his eyes wide open and he was inexplicably excited. This is the arrow shot by General Yi!

The story of two thousand Qingqi breaking Youzhou has long been spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jinyang. Who knows that General Yi, who is surrounded by Bingzhou, is loyal and brave! Liang Rong knew the inside story, but it was so dangerous and passionate that he couldn't help but fall over. That person is his archery master, this alone is enough for Liang Rong to be proud of!

As if knowing someone was behind him, Yi Yan put down his long bow and turned around and said, "Young Master Rong is early. But is he here to practice arrows?"

Liang Rong nodded hurriedly: "I will soon be admitted to the Six Arts School, and the disciples dare not leave it alone."

Yi Yan had been with Liang Rong for a while before, and he didn't bother at the moment, and said, "I'll take a look at a few arrows."

Liang Rong's archery skills are among the best among children. But hearing Yi Yan's words, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. The servant behind him set the target, and Liang Rong took a deep breath before stepping forward, shooting an arrow and drawing a bow. It's been a while since I changed the soft bow, and now Liang Rong pulls it, not too wasteful. Diligent practice is the most effective at the critical moment, Liang Rong fired three arrows in a row, and all the arrows hit the bullseye!

He turned his head back a little excited and looked at Yi Yan. The other party also praised: "Young Master Rong has made great progress in his arm strength, and his posture is also excellent. In the next stage, pay attention to breathing and try with a live target."

Liang Rong nodded vigorously, remembering the other party's practice just now, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why did Master Yi start practicing again?"

He knows that Yi Yan is left-handed, and he only practices right-handed archery, and he doesn't spend much time shooting targets. It seems that the left-handed arrow is used today, or the target in the field, it is really rare.

Yi Yan said indifferently: "I have some injuries to my arm, so I need to practice to recover."

He said lightly, but Liang Rong's little heart picked up. He had visited Yi Yan before, and he could barely remember the bandage on that suit. But the other party never showed any pain, and gradually he thought that these injuries weren't very tight. Now it seems that it's not all that happening! Can a sharp shooter with a flawless arrow re-practice archery, should it be multiple injuries?

Seeing that Liang Rong's face was a little discolored, Yi Yan coughed lightly and turned the subject: "It's better to shoot arrows together, just to practice breathing rhythm."

This is a rare teaching, how can Liang Rong be willing to miss it. The two opened up side by side, one holding a soft bow and the other holding a hard bow, so they shot arrows.

When Liang Feng came back, he saw this scene. One big and one small two people, with consistent movements and echoing beats, practice archery seriously. The small face was red, and the big forehead was sweaty. Obviously, he had been practicing for some time. After playing a round, Yi Yan would still bend over and point out a few words, serious not.

But now is not the time to practice hard. Liang Feng coughed lightly and interrupted the two of them: "Bo Yuan, your injury has not healed. Don't practice for too long. Rong'er, is your arm sore?"

Seeing his father, Liang Rong hurried forward to salute: "Master Yi taught very well, Rong'er's arm is only slightly sour..."

"Tomorrow I can't afford it." Liang Feng smiled and asked the maid to wipe Liang Rong's face, then took out the kerchief and handed it to Yi Yan.

The two of them separated with a slight touch of their fingers. Yiyan wiped the sweat on his forehead, put the veil in his arms, and asked casually: "Does the lord need to go to the office today?"

Now, even if he is not in the front hall, he should be in the study room. He also took the time to practice arrows after seeing that the other party was busy with official duties. Unexpectedly, he was caught upright.

Liang Feng smiled slightly: "There is something I want to show you."

After that, he bowed his head and said to Liang Rong: "Rong'er is on vacation today, do you want to have a long experience with Afather?"

It is not clear what his father is going to take them to see, but Liang Rong will never refuse any opportunity to accompany his father's side, and immediately nodded: "Rong'er wants to go!"

Liang Feng smiled: "Today I have to go further and ride your pony."

After exhorting his son, he said to Yi Yan again: "Are the legs completely healed?"

Yi Yan nodded: "Doctor Jiang said it's okay."

With Jiang Da's protection, Liang Feng nodded: "Then let's ride a horse together."

If you want to travel, the following natural arrangements are fast. But this time Liang Feng didn't prepare for the ceremonial guard, and only brought a guard. After leaving the city, he drove to the foot of Longshan without hesitation. There were originally many high-door villas and farms here, which were specially designed to escape the summer heat and enjoy the coolness. However, many years have been destroyed by the war, and it looks a bit remote. The guard did not stop and continued to move forward. After going around a ridge, the front suddenly opened up.

After seeing the situation clearly, Yi Yan was shocked and blurted out: "Horse field!"

It is the racecourse. Surrounded by the two mountains in front, I saw a long and narrow open field. In the mountains, there are green grass and clear rivers. It seems that the autumn is a few steps slower, and it is still a verdant green. In this fertile wilderness, countless horses are leisurely gnawing on weeds, and there are pastoral stalls and houses where servants live in the distance. It is obviously a circled horse farm.

Seeing Yiyan's face in surprise, Liang Feng smiled and said, "It's a good horse farm. I just got 2,000 horses from the Tuoba Department, and I will be able to provide horses for tiger and wolf riders in the future."

It is now during the honeymoon period of Bingzhou and Tuoba Department, and the mutual markets on both sides are extremely prosperous. Horses are the largest transaction. The horses of the Xianbei people are much cheaper than the horses of the Jin people. But no matter how cheap, Liang Feng couldn't give the lifeblood of the cavalry to the Tuoba tribe. It is inevitable to build a racecourse. There were many other Huns who happened to be effective, so he recruited some experienced herders to bring the new with the old, and prepared to train a group of his own wranglers.

After the surprise, Yi Yan thought about the actual problem: "This horse farm, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

A system built from scratch is always expensive. No matter how much Yi Yan likes, he still has to consider the cost.

Liang Feng smiled: "This is only Jinyang Racecourse. Later, Xinxing and Yanmen counties will also open pastures. Half-plowing and half-grazing, and after a while, you won't have to rely on others."

Xinxing County and Yanmen County are close to the outside, and there are many grasslands for grazing. Liang Feng didn't mean to completely open up wasteland. After all, there were few people there, and it was on the front line of the war next to Qianghu and Xianbei territories. It is better to maintain the customs of some nomads and slowly increase the population of arable land as the city recovers. Occupying the land steadily in this way is much more cost-effective than reclamation. The border pasture can also be the first line of defense against invasion. The cavalry in the future is afraid that they will all be tested in Bian County.

With just a few words, I heard it in my ears and it became a magnificent picture, and Yi Yan's breathing was quick: "Within ten years, I will finally be able to build a tiger-wolf teacher for my lord!"

An invincible cavalry capable of resisting all enemies! Even better than the time of Hanwu!

Looking at that confident and ostentatious face, Liang Feng only felt at ease. Liang Rong had been stunned by the scenery a long time ago, and asked in awe: "Father, what will these horses do in winter?"

Liang Feng chuckled: "Someone has harvested the pastures and fed them. If Rong'er wants a horse in the future, he can choose from here."

"My child will ride Wusun Dama too!" Liang Rong reacted immediately and said loudly.

"If you can ride, of course. But now..." Liang Feng paused and turned his head, "I have a few horses here, and I need Bo Yuan to help me inspect them."

Looking at the dark star eyes, Yi Yan seemed to realize something, his shoulders suddenly tense tight. However, Liang Feng didn't give him much buffer time, and there was a crisp sound of hoofs, ten horses appeared in front of the three of them.

There is no saddle bridle, no reins, only shiny mane and sturdy body. Those tall, untamed horses, even the sound of their hoofs, are filled with delightful arrogance. This is a rare Wusun horse on the grassland, ten horses!

Yi Yan grabbed the reins in his hand, and Le's mount uneasy stepped on his hoof. From the side, there was a voice: "Good general is worthy of a famous horse. I gifted it to you that day and never regretted it. It saved you for me."

Yi Yan's figure was shocked, and he got off his horse. I don't know if I jumped too fast, and I staggered. However, he did not stop, strode past many horses, and stopped in front of a full horse. The horse was not all pure white, and there were quite a few spots on its body, but the horse was no less than any other horse beside it.

Seeing someone coming, the horse tilted his head and stared at the man in front of him with big eyes with long lashes. It didn't look like fear or disgust. It was just doubtful and curious. After a while, it suddenly snorted, leaned over and pressed its head against the opponent's forehead.

Yi stretched out his hand, his five fingers trembling, and gently brushed it on the bridge of the horse's nose: "I call you day by day, okay?"

I don't know if I understood, the gray horse craned his neck and arched him fiercely again. Yi Yan laughed, pressed the horse back, and flew up to ride. There is no saddle, no rein, but he seems to be one with the horse, regardless of the people around him, he sighed softly: "Drive!"

The horse hissed and ran away, briskly and swiftly, as if chasing the wind day by day!

Looking at the back that was gone in an instant, a smile appeared on Liang Feng's lips. He will smooth out the pain that remains that day. Match him with the best horse, choose the most powerful sword for him, build a stable rear with one hand, hold on to the city, and raise countless horses. These, he can give!

Liang Rong frowned and looked at his father. For some reason, he suddenly felt that everything in front of him was separated from him by a layer. It seems that those words, those joys, belong to the tacit understanding of the two. Is it because General Yi is brave and brave enough to get so much love from his father?

Liang Rong bit his lip and looked up at the tall Wusun horses again. He may never be the same as General Yi, to make an unworldly achievement. But he is the only son of his father, and he also has an status that no one can replace. And he will be able to fulfill his father's expectations one day.

The horse's light hissing was mixed with the rustling noise. The autumn breeze is cool and the green fields are endless.
