Chapter 86: Saving the Hero Chao Gai

When the morning light shone on the Huanglou in Xuzhou, someone made a powerful shout that shocked Wu Haogu in his dream.

He dreamed of swords and swords on the shore of soaking water every day. When he heard this shout, he thought that the hero of Liangshan had called again, so he hurriedly got up from the bed, ran to open the window and looked at the yard, and then he let out a long sigh.

In the courtyard, Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong, Lu Qian and Guo Jing are practicing.

Guo Jing was fiddling with his "scary sword", dancing slowly and radiating, which was very beautiful, but it was not very useful in the battle formation.

Lin Wancheng was holding a stone lock. The old man was not young anymore, but his strength was still there. The stone lock seemed to be few taels in his hand.

Lin Chong and Lu Qian are using hard bows. The hard bow they use today is actually a bow-shaped fitness equipment used to exercise arm strength (in addition to arm strength, waist strength and leg strength also have to be practiced, and the tools for practicing arm strength are not only hard bows), but are not really used for combat.

According to the military knowledge Lin Wancheng told Wu Haogu on the way, archery is a real kung fu! You have to practice arm strength when you fight small, the more arm strength you practice, the more times you draw the bow on the battlefield.

The more times you shoot, the more arrows you shoot. In a real battlefield, the times you shoot are often more important than the accuracy of archery. Because on the battlefield, archers are used in a concentrated manner, and the density is as high as possible. Ten thousand arrows are fired at once, and it is not difficult to hit the target (usually the enemy who formed a formation). It is rare to cause major casualties to the enemy, because soldiers without armor or light armor cannot act as the main force in the battle formation.

The truly dangerous enemies on the battlefield are all wearing armor! To attack such an opponent, you must shoot more arrows.

In addition to shooting archery, using spears and machetes is also a door-to-door strength. You can lift a gun that is long enough. Whether it is slapping or assassination, you will always have the advantage of your strength.

In addition, infantry fight in formation on the battlefield, and fancy martial arts are useless. Therefore, strong strength and strong endurance are the key to victory.

And strength and endurance are impossible to achieve quickly!

You must work hard to practice. It is best to start working hard from a young age and exercise step by step. At the same time, with a reasonable diet, you can develop a whole body of strength and durable strength.

In addition to strength and endurance, equipment is also very important. Armor, crossbow, swords and guns, horses, shields, etc. must be carefully crafted, and must be carefully maintained, and must not be careless.

In short, there is no shortcut to train elite troops. Only by doing things in a solid manner, and it takes more than ten years to do it for decades...

As long as we can cultivate ten thousand Lin Chong and Lu Qian before the disaster comes more than 20 years later, and then arm them with the best equipment, Da Song can be saved!

But this matter is simple - how much does Lin Wan spend to train Lin Chong? He will die of a thousand pieces, and he will not have more than one thousand pieces!

According to this standard, 10,000 Lin Chong was trained, and Lu Qian only had 10 million yuan. After the demolition of a large house like Panjiayuan, it would be possible to build more small houses of 100,000 yuan.

As for equipping them, Wu Haogu doesn’t know how much it should be spent, but one or two thousand pieces should be enough. As long as you expand Kaifeng Prefecture City and enclose some land for real estate development, isn’t it a waste of tens of millions?

But can the Song Dynasty court train elite soldiers with money? With elite soldiers, can the court use them well?

It’s so desperate to think about it!

Wu Haogu was not in the mood to continue watching Lin Wancheng. Lin Chong and Lu Qian practiced martial arts. He sighed, then changed into clean Confucian uniforms and left the room to find Pan Qiaolian.

There is a little weirdness in this house in Ximen Qing, that is, there are no young female relatives living for a long time, and there are only a few elderly female envoys in the back house doing housework. This not only greatly damages the glorious image of "Ximen Qing" in "Water Margin" and "Jin Ping Mei", but also does not match his identity as a wealthy businessman.

Outside Kaifeng Prefecture, the reason why men get late is usually the imperial examination. Men in the Song Dynasty did not all get married early. Many scholars who were confident in their knowledge would first ask for a gold list title, and then they were caught in the bottom list. This is the best of officials, sex and wealth.

But Ximen Qing did not follow the path of imperial examinations. He himself was a businessman and a doctor. His family was a "banyimen" (that is, he owned a large number of clan property, and each house also had his own industries). Look at his subordinates who could fight and kill, they were like a rich man. Such people should have a lot of wives and children, so why was they alone?

Could it be that Ximen Qing doesn’t like women?

"Brother Dawu, are you here to find me?"

As soon as Wu Haogu walked out of the Xikuangyuan where he lived, he saw Pan Qiaolian standing under the door of a moon with a small bottle, waving happily to him.

"Zebalang," Wu Haogu stepped forward quickly and asked with concern, "How was the rest last night?"

Pan Qiaolian smiled and said, "I slept very soundly. Today I am a hundred times more energetic. How about traveling to Xuzhou City with Brother Dawu?"

Wu Haogu nodded and said, "Okay, Xuzhou has a famous city full of famous places and historical sites, so we need to have a good tour.

Why don’t you call Brother Guo San and Liu Xiaoyi to go with him?"

Pan Qiaolian said angrily: "The third brother and Xiao Yi have their place to go. You can't take them with you everywhere. How inconvenient is it?"

Wu Haogu thought about it and thought that Pan Qiaolian was right. He was originally a talented man and beautiful woman who traveled to the ancient city together, so that Guo Jing and Liu Wuji would follow him in a bad situation?

Moreover, this is Pengcheng and a big city, and military patrol shops can be seen everywhere in the city, so there is no need to worry about safety at all.

"Yes," Wu Haogu smiled, "Go and use some breakfast first, and then greet Ximen Xiaoyi."

"Okay," Pan Qiaolian touched her belly and smiled, "I'm already hungry, so go and have breakfast first."

The two of them went to the dining hall of Ximen Qing's house together and saw Ximen Qing and Liu Wuji sitting next to a square table, talking while having breakfast.

The things the two talked about seemed to be related to Wu Haogu. When Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian entered the door, Liu Wuji was shaking his head and talking about how Wu Haogu created the "Drunk Arhat Picture", which tricked Liu Youfang and Liu Da Diaoyan into 50,000 pieces.

Liu Wuji spoke so excitedly, and Ximen Qing also heard it interestingly. He didn't notice that Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian were here. He raised his hand and slapped a few times, and laughed: "I don't expect Wu Dalang to be so brave. Even Deputy Liu knew that such people dared to deceive me. Ximen Qing was ashamed of myself."

Wu Haogu frowned slightly. Why didn’t Liu Wuji have a secret address?

"Brother Ximen, why are you chorebating me like this?" Wu Haogu said with a wry smile, "If I had a solution, I wouldn't have made such a bad decision."

Ximen Qing turned around and saw Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian coming, so he stood up to greet him, "Dalang, Pan Xiaolang, how can you rest in the humble house?"

Pan Qiaolian smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Ximen. I was safe last night and I woke up to dawn."

It turned out that Pan Qiaolian had never slept soundly all the way from Yucheng, and she was truly relieved when she arrived in Pengcheng.

Wu Haogu smiled and joked: "Ximen Xiaoyi is not a humble house. If he is in Kaifeng Prefecture, he would not be able to buy such a yard of 100,000 yuan."

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "But my house is in Pengcheng, and it can be taken down in just two or three thousand cranes. If Dalang wants to move to Xuzhou, I will find you a good house."

When Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian were talking, they had already sat down face to face on both sides of the square table. An old lady from the Ximen family brought them fragrant rice porridge and buns. Wu Haogu picked up a bun and took a bite. Just as he was about to inquire about the housing prices and land prices in Xuzhou and Haizhou, he saw an old man dressed in the shopkeeper and walked in quickly, holding a big red greeting post and handed it to Ximen Qing.
