Chapter 15 A Wedding at Your Doorstep
It’s the end of December in a blink of an eye.
Wang Hongyi trained an elite army that was more powerful than in the original time and space.
There were two hundred soldiers of the battalion, arranged in several queues, with orders and prohibitions. Only rows of spear soldiers were seen. Under the orders, they moved neatly, with long spears standing in rows, as straight as a long line.
There are also fifty long swordsmen and fifty archers to cooperate, which are the seeds for future army expansion.
Another hundred cavalry were trained. They were fat and strong, wearing heavy armor and hanging long swords.
This is Wang Hongyi’s elite!
It is not easy to raise a cavalryman.
If there is no large pasture, war horses can only be fed with grain. One war horse can eat 100 shi a year, which is three times as much as a soldier.
Raising these one hundred cavalry, including men and horses, would be equivalent to the consumption of four to five hundred ordinary troops.
Very luxurious!
Of course, in the age of cold weapons, cavalry was very powerful because of its high mobility and its ability to come and go like the wind.
Mongolia and Hou Jin both conquered the world on horseback.
Li Shimin, known as the Khan of Heaven, also made his name in history by defeating the enemy with the Xuanjia Jingqi.
"Zizhi Tongjian" records: "The people of the Qin Dynasty selected more than a thousand elite cavalry, all dressed in black armor, and divided them into left and right teams. Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun were divided into generals. In every battle, the people of the world were personally killed. Commander Xuan Jia is the vanguard, taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, destroying everything in his direction, and the enemy is afraid of him."
In the Battle of Hulao Pass, Li Shimin defeated Xia King Dou Jiande's 100,000 cavalry with 3,500 cavalry, killing more than 10,000 people and capturing 50,000 people. He also captured Xia King Dou Jiande himself. Therefore, we can know how powerful Xuan Jia Jingqi is if he is proficient in the art of war and uses Xuan Jia Jingde. power.
However, it takes too much money to raise cavalry.
With Li Shimin's financial resources, there are only a thousand Xuanjia Jingqi.
Wang Hongyi was able to raise these one hundred cavalry because of Wu Siyuan's support, which provided horses and food.
Especially the war horse given by Wu Siyuan.
It was he who brought high-quality varieties from the [Wrangler] world and multiplied them in the [Shennongjiao Space] for several generations.
Not only in high-speed running, but also in jumping, prone, crossing water, and going uphill, it is ahead of the best war horses in the world.
Moreover, his intelligence is very high (the effect of the Mohist Secret Realm), and he can obey his master's command and cooperate tacitly in the battle of thousands of troops.
Originally, the requirements for cavalry were very high.
But with such excellent horses, Wang Hongyi's cavalry has reduced its requirements for soldiers a lot.
This is also the reason why he can train a hundred cavalry.
Li Xian, the confidant and secretary of Wang Zunzhi, the Jiedushi of Wenyang County, came once on Wang Zunzhi's order, saw Wang Hongyi's cavalry once, and evaluated them as no worse than the commander's black-clad guards.
These black-clothed guards were the capital base that Wang Zunzhi relied on to control the other three capitals in the town. There were two thousand people in total, all of whom were elites. The black-clothed guards were the elite of the two thousand elites, only two hundred of them.
Wang Zunzhi was greatly relieved after hearing this and asked Wang Hongyi where his war horses came from.
Li Xianda was presented by Li Chengye, the eldest son of Kaiming County magistrate Li Cunyi.
Wang Zunzhi looked happy and said it was good.
Wang Zunzhi actually regarded Wu Siyuan's personal actions as the family actions of Li Cunyi and the Li family, and considered the Li family's support for Wang Hongyi.
This is also normal.
The Li Chengye possessed by Wu Siyuan at this time was only seventeen or eighteen, and all the power of the Li family was in the hands of Li Cunyi.
Under normal circumstances, how could Li Chengye have the ability to produce a hundred war horses?
You know, in times of war, war horses are precious strategic resources.
If you show up without any reason, you will be directly seized by the local government and forces.
These one hundred war horses, even for the Li family, are going to strain their muscles and bones.
Because the Li family's support was so great, Wang Zunzhi felt that Li Cunyi was loyal to the Li family and could be trusted.
Wang Zunzhi even had the idea of marrying the righteous Queen Jieting to Li Chengye.
Li Cunyi was dissatisfied with Wu Siyuan's "idleness" behavior during this period.
But suddenly I learned from Wang Zunzhi about the idea of marrying a girl.
Li Cunyi was overjoyed.
Being married to Wang Zunzhi would be of great benefit to the Li family without any harm.
And Li Cunyi vaguely felt that this was caused by the tombs of his ancestors that had taken off for three generations.
So Li Cunyi immediately agreed and went back to talk to Wu Siyuan.
"..." Wu Siyuan was speechless for a while after knowing this.
After going around and around, Wang Jieting still delivered the goods to your door?
But that didn't matter to him.
Anyway, the way of cultivation in this world is not limited to women.
Wang Jieting is not ugly. On the contrary, she has the temperament of a lady from ancient times.
She has met Wu Siyuan several times and heard of his (Li Chengye) reputation, so she has no objection.
However, Wang Hongyi felt a little regretful.
Because Wang Jieting is a young phoenix, a man who marries her will have great luck.
Fortunately, Wu Siyuan has already practiced Taoism, so even if he marries Wang Jieting, it will not affect his great career.
Because it is a political marriage.
So the marriage process between the two went very quickly.
On New Year's Eve, the two got married.
There was an endless stream of guests in Li's mansion, which was very lively.
Wang Hongyi, He Tian Ji and other [Hidden Sect] Taoists all came one after another, all with different thoughts.
Wu Siyuan and Wang Jieting, one on the left and the other on the right, wearing luan and belt together, walked into the Li Mansion amidst the singing of praises and went straight into the main hall to pay homage to their parents.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
"Couple greetings!"
After the three rites, there is the rite of joint bonding and union, which means drinking and eating together, and the husband and wife are connected.
When the ceremony was completed and Wang Jieting returned to his room, Wu Siyuan wanted to raise a glass and drink, passing by.
Wang Hongyi is on one of the seats, and it is an important seat. This represents the attitude of the commander-in-chief.
Everyone in the town saw it.
Wang Hongyi opened the [Qi-Wang Technique] and saw that after the worship ceremony, a purple qi penetrated Wang Jieting's head and poured into Wu Siyuan's head.
This purple energy was like a key, opening some orifice. I saw clouds of energy pouring out from the blood vessels of Wu Siyuan's body, like boiling water, and like the opening of a spring.
On top of Wu Siyuan's head, the air was white at first, gathered together but not scattered, and looked like clouds and smoke at first.
In a short period of time, it turned white and turned red, like a boiling cauldron, and finally it changed again. The energy rushed out and gradually rose, once like a flag.
In the ancient army, the banner was used as a commanding flag by the generals. It has the meaning of surrender and leadership. It is also the king's ceremonial guard, so its meaning can be seen.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Gradually, the aura of the flags spit out golden color again.
At a glance, Wu Siyuan has a flag hanging on his head, and his whole body is enveloped in auspiciousness.
Wang Hongyi couldn't help but frowned.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear a faint roar of a dragon in his ears.
The banners are broken and the golden energy dissipates.
The Qi Luck of the Qi Refiner appeared on the top of Wu Siyuan, and the clouds filled the air, absorbing all the flags and golden Qi.
Wu Siyuan only felt refreshed, and his spiritual thoughts actually increased.
