For the next two days, the visitors of the Gongsun family continued to stay at the ancestral village.
According to the name of the thorn delivered in advance, the Gongsun family will stay in the ancestral village for three or five days, nominally to visit this place for a while. As for the actual serious matter about the marriage, it was also a private conversation between the elders of the clan and Gongsun Zhi, and there was no news about it at all. During the day, the ancestral family will make a special arrangement to take the guests of the grandson's family to the county and township, and after returning in the evening, they will set up a banquet, with drums and flutes and bright lights.
Although Zu Zhao is an indispensable protagonist in the arrival of the Gongsun family this time, he is not always by the side of the guests of the Gongsun family. Except for the first time with the guests of the Gongsun family for a short while, the rest of the time he still did his own thing, getting up early to read or design horse harness, after lunch, he led the rest of the people to Xihe Bridge to practice horses, every time Gongsun Long would also go with him, and also "play" special devotement.
The content of the recent period of horse training is still casual play as always, but the difference is that Zu Zhao has specially designed some "fresh games" since the past two days. He would randomly divide everyone into two teams and ask them to compete in races, horse races, group wrestling, etc., and for this purpose, he also arranged some special rewards, and the winning side of the competition could go to the town wine shop for a feast, and the wine was all covered by themselves.
Although most of the rangers who came to respond to the call of Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu brothers had three or two family backgrounds, even a wealthy family like Zu Zhao could not eat meat at once, let alone them? Therefore, I am extremely excited about this, and I have responded positively one by one.
As for the children of the ancestral family, they don't care about a meal of wine and meat, but most of them have their own net worth, how can they be willing to lose to these marketmen in the competition? Therefore, we also do our best to fight for every minute.
There are many different types of races, and there are several types of races alone.
Zu Zhao hopes to improve these young and strong physique step by step, and at this stage, he is only focusing on sprinting a few hundred meters, and in the future, he will increase the mileage of the race little by little, and take round-trip running, obstacle running and other methods to sharpen everyone's will and reflexes. As for most of the northerners, they are good at riding, but they still need to be trained to become combat cavalry, especially the Han Dynasty has not developed a mature heavy cavalry class, most of which are light cavalry, which focuses more on testing the skills of knights.
Even if the two brothers Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu and the children of the ancestral family know some riding and shooting, this is far from enough.
The training he envisioned was to enable these people to reach the level of array impact. Only knights with the ability to take the initiative to attack can be regarded as cavalry in the true sense. After that, it is completely possible to make further adjustments according to the actual situation, and distinguish the types of cavalry such as scouts, guerrillas, surprise attacks, and siege pursuits.
In addition to this, individual fighting skills should not be overlooked. In hand-to-hand combat on the ancient battlefield, most of the time it was about physical strength and strength, and training group wrestling can not only improve everyone's team awareness, but also exercise physical strength and strength by the way. Moreover, the fighting skills on the battlefield are not useless, and it is better to know some fist and foot kung fu than to be reckless.
All the people who come to Xihe Bridge to participate in the "training", no matter who they are, have to go through these competitions, basically after running, horse racing, wrestling, and the afternoon is almost the same. Whether it is a ranger or a child of the ancestral family, they are all sweating profusely, covered in dust, and there are many people who are slightly colored, all of them are hearty.
In order to avoid the real enmity between the two teams of rivals, Zu Zhao envisioned that the team would be redistributed once a day, and everyone would draw lots to decide, and the rangers and the children of the Zu family would be separated and separated. Even if more and more people participate in the training in the future, they will do it exactly this way. Until the enthusiasm of the participants is fully aroused, or the support of the county government and the county government is officially obtained, so that everyone can devote themselves to the atmosphere of formal discipline.
After the first day of the competition, Zu Zhao invited the winning team to the town wine shop for a drink. He asked the restaurant to only provide a certain amount of wine, as for meat and vegetables, he ate as much as he wanted, and he did not bring money with him, but only promised the restaurant to come back tomorrow afternoon to settle the bill. The restaurant had already heard of Zu Zhao's name of "Dragon City Flying General", and also knew that the ancestral family was rich and well, so he happily agreed.
Gongsun Long lost two battles in the competition on this day, and kept scolding, spitting and unhappy on the way back to Zujiazhuang. After all, he is young and vigorous, and he doesn't have much heart to summarize the specific reasons for the failure, just complaining that the team members are not smart enough. Some of the children of the ancestral family who followed behind were full of resentment, if it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Long was a guest, they would have already turned against each other.
Zu Zhao rode on horseback, smiled indifferently, and said in a very serious tone: "Small kung fu with fists and feet, a big husband." The competition is just a formality, the important thing is to cultivate everyone's tacit understanding, if you can't even do this, how can you win in the future? Brother Gongsun, do you say?
Gongsun Long still said quibly: "It was I who clearly ran in the front before, but I let those people drag their feet." It's the same with wrestling, and I've knocked down several of them in one of them. It's infuriating, it's infuriating!
Zu Zhao still smiled and said: "Brother Gongsun is like this, but it is really disappointing." I know that Brother Gongsun is extraordinary, but in the end, he is still invincible with one punch and four hands. Anyone can practice the skills of ten enemies, but if you want to be able to fight against hundreds, thousands of enemies, or even 10,000 people, then it is called a real skill.
Gongsun Long looked confused, and thought for a while with his brows wrinkled.
The other children of the ancestral family on the left and right also heard it amazingly, and they gathered over to listen.
After a while, Gongsun Long finally asked Zu Zhao in confusion: "Brother Zu, why can't I understand what you say?" This...... Enemies of hundreds, thousands of enemies, or even tens of thousands, this is too much to say.
Zu Zhao said: "Brother Gongsun has ever thought that the reason why Brother Gongsun can fight several people by one person when wrestling is not because there are teammates on the same team to contain the opponent, so he has a chance to win?" Whether it is a competition or a real battle to kill the enemy, there has never been a precedent for one person to repel an army, and only by knowing the strength of the crowd can there be the possibility of winning more with less. My words don't mean anything else, I just hope that Brother Gongsun will not shift the blame to others, why not think deeply about how to unite teammates?
Gongsun Long understood a little, even though he was still unconvinced in his heart, he no longer had the same fierce reaction as just now.
After a pause, Zu Zhao immediately smiled again: "Anyway, the competition is just a joke, and it doesn't matter if you lose for a while, you might as well sum up the experience of failure later and have another game tomorrow."
When Gongsun Long heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and laughed, and said in a loud voice: "Really, really." "
When I returned to Zujiazhuang in the evening, everyone went to wash their bodies first, so that they were late for the dinner that day. However, several elders did not blame the body, since Zu Zhao stated the reason to Zu Ju last time, the whole family and the guests of the Gongsun family were very clear about the purpose of these teenagers going out. It's a good thing to see the children of the clan with such enthusiasm. At the banquet, Zu Ju and Gongsun Zhi even paid attention to the scene of the afternoon.
Zu Ju just gave a brief overview, but Gongsun Long told him about the confrontation test arranged by Zu Ju, and in the end, he also added fuel and vinegar to what Zu Zhao said on the way back.
When the two elders heard the so-called "10 enemies, 100 enemies, 1,000 enemies, and 10,000 enemies," they both had varying degrees of amazement, and they looked at each other and felt very understanding.
Early the next morning, Zu Zhao just got up to wash, but unexpectedly, Gongsun Long hurriedly came to ask for a meeting, and asked for some things about this afternoon's competition.
Zu Zhao was surprised that Gongsun Long was so active and enthusiastic, there were not many things he could say, on the one hand, Gongsun Long would not live in Xu Wuxian County, let alone participate in Xu Wuxian's preparation for thieves, on the other hand, the way of the competition had just begun, and many things had to be persistent in order to understand their own understanding.
Gongsun Long can still listen to Zu Zhao's words, after all, in the past few days, he admires Zu Zhao's gentle, humble and heroic image, not only that, but he has also witnessed Zu Zhao's skills in the past few days, and he thinks that he is inferior.
However, he still refused to leave the whole morning, so that Zu Zhao did not even have the time to study the scriptures.
After a simple breakfast, Zu Zhao had no choice but to take Gongsun Long to the garden to adjust the harness. Gongsun Long was very peculiar to the harness designed by Zu Zhao, and then focused his attention on this aspect, constantly asking questions on the side. Zu Zhao's temperament is quite patient, he will answer all questions, and he will be concise and to the point. Fortunately, Gongsun Long is also a good horseback rider in Xuansu County, and after listening to Zu Zhao's introduction, he also put forward some suggestions on riding, which is more or less helpful.
At noon, Zu Zhao had lunch with Gongsun Long. Gongsun Long couldn't wait to go to Xihe Bridge.
In this regard, Zu Zhao just smiled helplessly, he didn't expect that his drill to prepare for thieves this year would actually attract such interest from a foreigner.
When they came to the backyard horse farm to prepare for the horses, the children of the ancestral family were ready early. It is obvious that the competition arranged yesterday has aroused the interest of many people, and these people can't help but break their thoughts after they come back, and then it also causes more people to itch and be eager to try.
When Zu Zhao was preparing the reins, Zu Ji led his horse to his side. Yesterday his team won a big victory, and at this moment there is a smug look of a victor on his face.
"Eldest son, Uncle Hong should come back in the afternoon to see if he can receive any good horses this year." He said casually.
"No matter how good a horse is, you have to have a good ability, and you have to practice hard during this time." Zu Zhao said admonishingly.
"Of course!" Zu Ji smiled heartily.
