Chapter 78: July

『PS: I recently discovered that after "The Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty", "The Wife is the General" has also listened to books, and the partner with Qidian is also "Himalaya FM". The actor is a girl named "Yinxi Pavilion Master", with a female voice, and the voice is very good~ What surprised the author the most was that there were voiceovers during the show, such as drawing a sword and neighing a horse, which was quite powerful. Interested book lovers might as well go and take a look.

————The following text——

Amid the laughter of everyone around, Meng Hu was so angry that he was embarrassed.

He spit out the soil in his mouth, grabbed the reins, and tried to force the horse to sit on the back of the war horse.

People in the world say that Ma Tong is human, but it is true that some animals and wild animals in the world can actually feel human "good thoughts" and "evil thoughts". This is the instinct of animals to "seek good luck and avoid bad luck".

Just now, Meng Zhong tried his best to release his good intentions, so the horse was not prepared for him and was willing to let him sit on the horse's back. Now, Meng Hu's rough movements made another horse feel panic and uneasy, so that he was forcibly seated behind the horse by Meng Hu. The horse jumped and kicked wildly, trying to throw Meng Hu off his horse's back again.

However, Meng Hu held the horse's neck tightly.

"It's falling, it's going to fall..."

Amid the slightly panicked voices of the people around, the war horse fell horizontally to the ground, and Meng Hu fell to the ground. Even so, Meng Hu still strangled the war horse's neck tightly, wrestled with it on the ground, trying to forcibly surrender.

Zhao Yong was happy when he saw this, and smiled at the soldiers around him and said, "This will definitely be a warrior in the future!"

Finally, after a long time of struggle, the war horse finally stopped moving. A next to him, a shrew reminded Meng Hu: "Boy, you don't have to tie it anymore, it will not resist you anymore."

Seeing this, Meng Hu released his hand.

Sure enough, when he tried to ride again, the horse did not resist anymore.

However, looking at Meng Hu riding proudly on the horse, Wu Ying, Meng Sui, Xiang Liao and others curled their lips disdainfully.

Because Meng Zhong only spent dozens of breaths, but Meng Hu spent a moment, he was still covered in mud, and he was so embarrassed.

In this comparison, people will of course choose Meng Zhong's method instead of learning from Meng Hu.

As expected, according to Meng Hu's method, everyone quickly rode on the horse's back. At this time, Zhao Zhufu also left his seat, turned over and rode on the horse's back, and personally taught everyone the key points of riding.

Since the stirrup at this time is a one-sided stirrup, it is used to make people use force to get on the horse, not a harness that can be used to ride. Therefore, when riding a war horse, the knight needs to lie on the horse's back and use the strength of his legs to clamp the horse's belly, so as to avoid being thrown down while the war horse is galloping.

This is the biggest test that knights of the world have to face, and it is also the most difficult part in training cavalry.

As they walked slowly and ran, Meng Zhong and others tried for an afternoon, and then they could barely master riding. The price was that their buttocks were almost numb by the horse's back, and the inner side of their legs was rubbed by the horse's belly, so that when they got off the horse's horse, they felt the pain in their hips and limped when they walked, making Zhao's father and the Zhao soldiers beside them laugh.

After learning riding for three days, Meng Zhong and others became a little familiar with each other, so Zhao Yong took them around to hunt.

Because Zhao soldiers helped drive away the prey, Zhao Yong and his group soon encountered several deer.

Seeing this, Zhao Yong was not in a hurry to shoot arrows. He grabbed the reins of the horse and turned his head to Meng Zhong and said, "Meng Zhong, let me see your shooting skills."

So Meng Zhong pulled his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at several deer in the distance, about twenty feet away.

It has to be said that the feeling of riding on a horse and shooting archery is very different from the feeling of standing on a flat ground or on a chariot, because the horse under the crotch will cause the horse's back and abdomen to fluctuate due to breathing, which greatly affects the accuracy of the knight when shooting archery.

Just then, Meng Zhong failed to shoot the deer in the distance, but instead scared away the deer.

Meng Zhong was also quite embarrassed about this.

But Zhao Zhufu was not surprised. He taught Meng Zhong: "Calling and shooting are different from standing shooting. You also need to consider the breath of the war horse under your crotch. The breath of the war horse is regular. Remember this rule and integrate yourself with the war horse and you can hit the target."

As he was talking, the deer were driven back by the Zhao soldiers in the distance, so he patted Meng Zhong's arm and said, "Come on, try another arrow."

"Integrate with the war horse?"

Meng Zhong carefully pondered Zhao Zhufu's words, adjusted his breath in the way Zhuangzi taught him, and then pulled the bow and arrow, aiming at the prey in the distance.

"puff--"

I saw a string sound, and there was a deer in the distance, which was located at the back of her abdomen, and she was immediately shot.

However, the deer was not killed. After being injured, it fled to the distance in panic.

"good!"

Zhao Master's father stroking his hands and praised him. Then, he smiled and said to Meng Zhong: "It's a pity that he didn't kill him with one arrow. Now you need to catch up with it and shoot him to death."

After saying that, they chased the deer for about several miles before they got the chance to shoot again.

At this time, Master Zhao said to Meng Zhong: "This time, aim at his head and shoot him to death."

Meng Zhong nodded, pulled his bow and arrow, and focused on his prey, but the arrow shot was slightly different from what he expected, and it only hit the deer's neck.

But even so, the neck was a vital point, so that after the deer escaped for about a hundred feet, it fell to the ground. However, judging from the fact that its abdomen was still rising and falling, it was not dead yet.

Seeing this, Master Zhao handed a short sword to Meng Zhong, and said with a chuckling, "That's your prey, you go and kill it."

Meng Zhongyiyan rode a horse to the deer, rolled over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and squatted beside the latter, pressed the deer's throat with a short sword, and looked at its still rotating eyes.

"puff."

The sharp blade pierced into the deer's throat. It struggled violently for a few times, then stopped moving.

At this time, Master Zhao drove the war horse to Meng Zhong. Seeing that there was a little blood splashing on Meng Zhong's face, but his face did not change, he nodded in his heart.

Afterwards, Meng Zhong wiped the blood from his face with a cloth and turned his back on his horse again.

At this time, Master Zhao whispered to Meng Zhong and said, "You have killed someone, right? When?"

Meng Zhong said truthfully: "When my Song State attacked Teng State, I killed four soldiers from Teng State..."

Looking at Meng Zhong's eyes for a long time, Master Zhao praised him and said, "You are an excellent soldier, and I began to believe that you can protect me."

As Meng Heng and Meng Min said at the beginning, whether to dare to kill people is the first test of becoming a soldier in modern times. A person who dares not see blood cannot be considered a qualified soldier even if his martial arts are high.

After testing Meng Zhong, Zhao Zhufu began to test Wu Ying, Meng Hu, Meng Sui and others again, and during this period, he also used his shooting skills.

It has to be said that Zhao Zhufu is worthy of being the monarch of Zhao who is pushing Hu clothing to shoot. His shooting skills are much more skillful than Meng Zhong. The prey he is targeted by him is often killed with one arrow, unlike Meng Zhong, who shot the deer with two arrows but could not be shot dead. In the end, he had to kill it with the help of a short sword.

However, what surprised Zhao Zhufu was that Meng Zhong stopped shooting his prey after killing the deer.

So he asked curiously: "Can a deer satisfy you?"

Meng Zhong replied: "Yes...My mentor, Master Zhuang, once taught me that killing wild animals to fill their stomachs to fill their stomachs is called "the law of heaven". Now I have obtained a deer, enough for me to eat and use for a few days. If I am not greedy and still hope to get more, this is "human desire". People should not kill indiscriminately for their own human desires."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhao's face showed a look of surprise. After looking at Meng Zhong a few deep, he nodded and said, "It is worthy of being the words of a sage."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's stop here today."

So, Zhao Zhufu, Meng Zhong and others returned to the Dune Palace and distributed the prey to part of the soldiers in the camp.

During this period, a general "Xu Jun" from Zhao State who followed him to hunt asked Zhao Yong: "Master, do you seem to value that young man named Meng Zhong very much?"

Zhao Yong stroked his beard and said, "This boy is a very principled person. He is neither cowardly nor indiscriminately killed. He has courage in his heart but does not deliberately show his courage. With time, he will become a great person."

"Where are the other teenagers?" Xu Jun asked again.

Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, "The rest of the sects, Meng Hu, have the most courage and courage, but they act a little recklessly; secondly, Wu Ying, this sect is mature, although he has courage, but lacks the courage like Meng Hu. As for the others..."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said that he didn't know much about it for the time being.

Xu Jun nodded and said, "What the master said is very much... Perhaps these young men will become pillars of our country of Zhao in the future. Especially Meng Zhong, whom you value, is about the same age as the emperor, and may become an important minister to assist the emperor in the future."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhufu's eyes flashed slightly, but he still nodded with a light chuckling.

"Assisting the Lord...?"

He glanced at Xu Jun quietly, and Master Zhao secretly pinched the reins.

Throughout June, Zhao Yong personally taught Meng Zhong, Meng Hu, Wu Ying, Hua Hu and others, and taught them riding, swordsmanship, and shooting skills.

The Zhao generals in the military camp were quite surprised.

Zhao Yong laughed and said that he taught the martial arts of various scholars just to understand boredom and pass the time.

So Zhao general Xu Jun and others suddenly realized.

It was not until mid-July that good news came from the front battlefield, saying that Zhao Yong's eldest son "Prince Zhang" and Zhao generals Zhao Qi, Niu Jian, Zhao Xi, Li Chi and others jointly attacked the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom "Lingshou" and were about to break through the city.

Seeing this, Zhao's father took the envoys of Song State Li Shi, as well as young guards such as Meng Zhong, Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Wu Ying, etc. to Zhongshan State, hoping to witness the scene of Zhao State conquering Zhongshan State with his own eyes.

After all, the destruction of Zhongshan was his lifelong wish of his deceased father, Zhao Suhou. It was not until his generation that Zhao State fulfilled Zhao Suhou's wish.

In late July, Zhao Yong and Meng Zhong and others arrived at Lingshou.

At this time, his eldest son, "Prince Zhang", had already conquered Lingshou with the other generals of Zhao, and captured the King of Zhongshan "Shang".

In July of the third year of King He of Zhao, Zhao State collapsed Zhongshan State.
