Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

Most of them are young, about 30 years old, some over 40 years old, either the elderly of the "Zhongshun Army", or the descendants of those old "Yue Family Army" in the "Yue Family Army".

It was the first time for Guo Mo to meet many people, and there were more than a dozen tables set up in the "Hall of Heroes" in King Yan's Mansion.

Wine table culture has a long history.

The warrior, who was still reserved at the beginning, gradually let go after three or five bowls of spirits.

Guo Mo gave the banquet, unlike other lords, he was born in the Jianghu after all, and even stayed in the military camp in person. Today, he also wears a military uniform in order to get along with everyone.

Feng Ge, Lu Guanying, and Zhao Chengyu were all pulled over by him to persuade them to drink. These three are also veterans, especially some of the people present here are old acquaintances of Lu Guanying and Zhao Chengyu.

For the matter of blocking alcohol, Guo Mo would never find anyone.

Among the soldiers, they either beat you to death or drink you to death.

With Guo Mo's skills, it's not easy to bully these subordinates, so let's conquer them with strong wine.

In the past few months, Guo Mo has also done one thing, which is to make wine, to be precise, to further increase the alcohol content.

Most of the wines that are popular now are rice wine and fruit wine, but Guo Mo discovered that there is already baijiu in Xixia, and there is even rough distillation technology.

Although Guo Mo has no special skills in this area, he can still do it with a little improvement on this rough distillation technique.

What was used in today's banquet was the first batch of new baijiu that just came out. Guo Mo called it "Hero Drunk", and it is estimated that there are about [-] degrees of baijiu in later generations.

Guo Mo could only make do with it when he drank it, but when it came to the mouths of these arrogant soldiers, it would be like fine nectar.

Guo Mo's brewing is not just for enjoyment.

Although the Song Dynasty has always been at the top of the country in terms of economy, especially the abundant sunlight and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the output of various crops is enough for the people to have enough food and clothing.

However, the wine making at this time consumes a lot of food, unlike the refreshing alcohol blended directly in later generations.

People on horseback, whether Mongolian, Dangxiang, or Jin people, are irresistible to spirits.

Guo Mo deliberately brewed this strong wine, just for them.

In the final analysis, fighting is about supplies. Without a solid family background, how can you train a qualified army and how can you withstand consumption?

While possessing a strong military force, Guo Mo also wants to engage in a lively "economic war" for his opponents in this era.

Today, the more than 100 soldiers in front of him are his best test subjects.

It seems that the effect is good, these fighters really like stronger wine, even literati like Zhao Rushu and Du Gao are full of praise.

"Your Highness, you have such a good thing, why didn't you take it out earlier? If it is sold on the market, wouldn't our Yan Palace have another big profit?"

As the long history of Yan Palace, Zhao Rushu can be said to be conscientious. Looking at his gray hair and somewhat thin body, Guo Mo couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Think about it a few years ago, the two were still in a state of hostility, but since they served as the governor of the Yan Palace, they have completely tied their wealth and life to the Yan Palace.

And his youngest son, Zhao Chengyu, also became the Deputy Commander of King Yan's Guard Army, his position was lower than Chen Xuanfeng's, and he was even two ranks higher than Guo Mo's great apprentice Zhang Shijie.

"Zhao Changshi, I don't plan to sell this wine in the Song Dynasty for the time being. I plan to put it in Xixia and the grassland..."

Listen to the sound of gongs and drums, listen to the sound, and don't use heavy hammers to play the drums. After Guo Mo said a few words, Zhao Rushu realized that the things behind it might not be that simple.

Now that there are so many people talking about it, it is not the time to study it carefully. Zhao Rushu suppressed his curiosity and sat there carefully savoring the "hero drunkenness" in front of him.

Wine is good wine, and the name is even better. Can His Highness King Yan really know it from birth?

The banquet is a reception banquet, and the generals are summoned from a long distance, of course not for a meal.

From the second day, Guo Mo began to work according to the established procedures.

The first is training, basic military literacy, art of war explanation and case analysis.

Guo Mo also personally participated in several battles, especially the tactics against Mongolian iron cavalry, which was also popularized in the "Dunwu Army".

Both Yu Jie and Yue Ao came from the "Dunwu Army", so they naturally knew a lot about it.

After gradually perfecting the topographic map, Guo Mo once again launched a big killer - the sand table.

According to the topographic map or field topography, according to a certain proportion, the model is made of sand, war chess and other materials.

Strictly speaking, this thing cannot be regarded as Guo Mo's first creation.

The earliest sand table can even be traced back to the time of Qin Shihuang.

It is said that when Qin was deploying to destroy the six countries, Qin Shihuang personally studied the geographical situation of each country, and with the assistance of Li Si, he sent General Wang Jian to carry out the unification war.

Later, when Qin Shihuang built his mausoleum, he built a large terrain model in his mausoleum.

The model not only has mountains, hills, cities, etc., but also simulates rivers and seas with mercury, and uses mechanical devices to make the mercury flow and circulate.

It can be said that that was the earliest prototype of the sand table.

It was also recorded in "Book of Later Han·Ma Yuan Biography".

In the eighth year of Jianwu in the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui and Wudu, the local tycoon Kuihuo, the general Ma Yuan "gathered rice into a valley and pointed out the situation", which made Emperor Guangwu feel that "the captive is in my eyes". It is the earliest sand table operation.

When the sand table was pushed in, those captains who had the courage of men, of course, were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

However, in Yu Jie's eyes, he saw two groups of lust.

"This...Your Highness, is this something that Ma Fubo used back then?"

"Well, Yu Dutong really has a lot of knowledge and memorization, but it is similar to what Ma Yuan used back then. It's just that the usage he mastered seems to be just superficial now."

Standing on the merits of so many professionals in later generations, and pretending to be reasonable in front of these more than 100 subordinates, Guo Mo will not miss this opportunity.

"This thing, I call it 'sand table'..."

After considering the words and sentences, Guo Mo tried his best to describe and describe the production method, principle, use method and military value of the sand table in a language that he could understand in this era.

Of course, he had to take care of the cultural level of these titans.

The number of troops has increased rapidly in recent years, and the cultural literacy training for the grassroots of the army has been unable to keep up with the "Dunwu Army" a few years ago.

In the "Zhongshun Army", the situation may be slightly better. After all, in the "Dunwu Army", it was Guo Mo who took charge of this training at the beginning, and then Yu Jie was in charge.

The "Yue Family Army" is quite different, although Yue Ao's father, Yue Ke, is the head of the household department and a well-known poet, but he didn't pass it on to Yue Ao at all.

This kid is the same as Hu Yande, Guo Mo's third apprentice, and he loves the art of war and martial arts to death. If he is really asked to read and write, it will kill him.

Therefore, taking advantage of the winter break, Guo Mo summoned this group of people, and they had to train for at least a month.

The three-day concentrated explanation was mainly given by Guo Mo himself, and then deduced in batches on the sand table.

Three days later, they were brought to the Jiaojun Field in Luoyang City. Fortunately, there were only more than 100 people, and there was no need to go outside the city.

The first is the training of various equipment in the army, mastering the use of various weapons, siege and defense equipment.

Then carry out a coordinated drill of various arms, and specially asked Zhao Chengyu to bring the elite of the five hundred King Yan's guards.

One hundred cavalry, one hundred spearmen, one hundred shield soldiers, one hundred crossbowmen, and even one hundred sword soldiers.

After 20 days, focus on the practice and improvement of personal martial arts.

Swords and guns are common weapons used by generals. Guo Mo asked Lu Guanying to directly teach the "Yang family marksmanship" to those generals who use guns.

And Guo Mo himself passed on a set of saber techniques that he had realized from the "Nanshan Woodcutting Knife Technique" and "Magic Stick Technique" back then to those generals who used knives.

A month is not long, but it is enough to make these big bosses burst into tears.

When it was time to leave Luoyang City, each of them reluctantly reminded Guo Mo of the parting scene after his university military training in his previous life.

"You are all leaders of soldiers, you should know the truth of 'one general is incompetent, and thousands of troops are exhausted'. What you have learned this month, you must practice hard after you go back, and teach your soldiers as much as possible—"

There are no rhetoric, but in the hearts of more than 100 people, the seeds of continuous forge ahead have been left.

Careful Zhao Rushu told Li Mochou one thing from the very beginning.

Let her follow Guo Mo every day, and record in detail what he said and did all day long.

Guo Mo is a very casual person in this regard, and he is also quite emotional. After recording them in detail, Zhao Rushu and Du Gao, who is also well-educated in military affairs, compiled these records into a book called "Summary of King Yan's Military Exercise".

Sharpening the knife is not the same as chopping firewood. Guo Mo believes that his one-month time was not in vain. At least he has a more three-dimensional understanding of these two powerful teams.

There will be military missions in the future, and it will be more handy to use these two teams.

Just after seeing off these 100 people, Guo Mo received an urgent letter from "Tingfeng" after only three days of rest.

Those who came to Luoyang from Peach Blossom Island are already on their way, and they are expected to arrive in Luoyang in about ten days.

The news of Huang Rong's pregnancy made Peach Blossom Island happy for a while. Although Huang Rong already had three children, having many children and grandchildren is always the most simple wish of Chinese people.

It seems unrealistic for Huang Rong to rush back to Peach Blossom Island to raise her baby. If it was possible, Guo Mo would not write back.

But Feng Heng, as a mother, let her give birth outside, but he was worried.

After repeated discussions, it was decided to send someone to Luoyang.

Feng Heng was of course the first one to go, and he took care of three children for Huang Rong in a row. This person who didn't have much experience in taking care of children, on the contrary, is very familiar with it.

Guo Xiao was not yet one year old, and it was winter, and Luoyang was in the north, so it was not convenient for him to accompany him, so Feng Heng took Guo Xiang, who was four and a half years old, with him.

As for the eldest son, Guo Yi, that was Guo Mo's eldest son. In the eyes of Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng, this son might take on heavier responsibilities in the future, so he stayed on Peach Blossom Island for protection.

In the past few years, they have also noticed that it seems that their son-in-law Guo Mo cares more about his daughter Guo Xiang.

Feng Heng left, Huang Yaoshi naturally wanted to stay on Peach Blossom Island, but he sent out Jin Yufeng who had been studying with him for a long time.

Almost two years have passed, although Jin Yufeng is still in the second-rate realm, but his combat power is far from what it used to be.

Guo Yi and Guo Xiao stayed on Peach Blossom Island, so they were naturally taken care of by Mu Nianci and Nanqin, and Mei Chaofeng was also around.

The "Yuyingtang" at this time could have been renamed "Yuyingtang".

Guo Ping, Yang Guo, Ye Feng, Lu Bing, Guo Yi, plus a Zhao Simo who came from afar, but with Guo Xiang's departure, these little boys seem to be unable to toss about anymore.

Tingxiang and Wenfu, two big maids on Peach Blossom Island, naturally followed along.

These two have been in Peach Blossom Island for four or five years, and from the age of thirteen or fourteen, they have grown into slim young girls.

These years, he followed Feng Heng and Huang Rong and learned kung fu solidly for a few years, and his light kung fu and several sets of swordsmanship are also majestic.

The people from Peach Blossom Island were going to Luoyang, Zhao Kuo in Lin'an city also knew the news, and ordered to promote the Imperial City Secretary Nan Xiren to personally escort them there.

And Ye Qu, who was taking care of his son on Peach Blossom Island, also set off with the team.

His son, Ye Feng, is almost seven years old now, and he has had no worries about eating and drinking on Peach Blossom Island for the past two years, and he has been taught by the second master himself, and several children of the same age have learned literature and martial arts together.

Especially being able to stay with the eldest son of the second senior brother, Guo Yi, in the eyes of Ye Qu, or many people, these children who can grow up with Guo Yi will be little Guo Yi's cronies in the future.

The brand and habits of the times are deeply rooted. Maybe Guo Mo doesn't think about it, but he can't stop others from thinking about it.

After leaving Peach Blossom Island by boat, Nan Xiren waited there after landing.

For this wave of travelers, the matter of negotiating with foreign countries naturally fell on the seventh apprentice, Jin Yufeng.

Jin Yufeng, who has just turned 30, is still dressed in the northwest style. After two years of living in the south of the Yangtze River, he has added a bit of gentleness.

"This way, there are the Four Heroes of Laonan—"

In terms of age, Jin Yufeng is 31 years old, and Nan Xiren is only 48 years old, so they should be regarded as peers.

The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years!It’s really easy to use. I use it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here..]

However, Nan Xiren is Guo Mo's master, while Jin Yufeng is only Guo Mo's senior sister, so it seems that Jin Yufeng is a generation shorter than Nan Xiren.

However, in the past few years, whether it is Chen Xuanfeng, Lu Chengfeng or Guo Mo, they have always called brothers and sisters, and they have been friends with the "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River" and others.

Therefore, even though Jin Yufeng came in late, he still called Nan Xiren "Four Heroes of the South".

"You're welcome, this is Nan's job."

Nan Xiren can be regarded as someone who has been "severely" influenced by Guo Mo for nearly 20 years. His taciturn temperament has long since changed, but he automatically speaks concisely to people he is not familiar with.

"Fourth Master, hug—"

On the other hand, little Guo Xiang, four and a half years old, can play with anyone, and when he stepped out of the cabin, he immediately saw Nan Xiren on the shore.

Although I have only met a few times, this little girl remembers it in her heart.

Nan Xiren's originally stern face immediately filled with smiles like a magic trick.

"Slow down, my little ancestor, and see what the fourth master brought you?"

Nan Xiren bypassed Jin Yufeng, jumped onto the big boat with one stride, and picked up the staggering little Guo Xiang with one hand.

But I don't know where to take out a "candied haws", this thing has just appeared in the Song Dynasty, but the current name is not "candied haws", but "honey bombs".

"Ah, this is my favorite food. Daddy called it 'Bingtanghulu', which sounds much better than others' 'Honey Bomb'."

The people around couldn't help smiling when they saw it.

We all know that Guo Mo loves this little Guo Xiang the most, what is rare is that little Xiang'er always talks about his father, even Huang Rong often eats it.
