Dongfang Sheng leaned against the railing and sipped the tea in his cup. He had the demeanor of a scholar.
He seemed to be leisurely sipping tea, but in fact, he was thinking about what to do next. Since he came to this world, he naturally could not let Qiao Feng and A'Zhu's tragedy repeat itself. It was not difficult for Dongfang Sheng to prevent this from happening, but it was not easy to do everything in his power. It was even more difficult to avenge Qiao Feng.
Madam Ma and Quan Guanqing were not ordinary people, especially Madam Ma Kang Min. She was ruthless and rarely left any flaws. Although he knew the whole story, he didn't have any evidence, so he didn't know where to start. The stubborn Xiao Yuanshan was also a variable that was difficult to control. If things continued to develop as he knew, the deaths of Elder Xu, Tan Gong, Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun, and Master Zhiguang would be blamed on Qiao Feng. Then all his efforts in Shaolin would have been in vain.
Thinking back. If A'Zhu didn't die, would Qiao Feng continue to track down the identity of the leader? And what would happen after knowing the identity of the leader? With Qiao Feng's personality, he would never kill Abbot Xuan Ci. Would he hide outside the pass with A'Zhu and never set foot in the Central Plains again, or…
Dongfang Sheng shook his head unconsciously. After letting his imagination run wild, he realized that his brain was almost in a knot. As expected, the world was unpredictable, even for someone like him who knew the past and the future.
"Sigh…If you have wine today, you will be drunk today.”Dongfang Sheng let out a long sigh and drank the tea in his cup as if he was drinking wine. He called out to the counter,"Waiter, the bill."
The waiter came to Dongfang Sheng's table with a big smile on his face.""Guest, I owe you two taels of silver."
Just as Dongfang Sheng reached into his pocket, the guest at the east table suddenly said,""Waiter, put it on my tab." Dongfang Sheng turned his head and saw two people sitting at the table. The person who spoke just now looked to be in his fifties and had an elegant appearance. Beside him sat a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth. He did not recognize his face, but the voice of the middle-aged man was very familiar. He could not remember it for a moment.
Dongfang Sheng was curious about the other party's background, so he cupped his hands and sat down at the eastern table. The middle-aged man looked straight at Dongfang Sheng. Dongfang Sheng saw the faint light in the middle-aged man's eyes and was startled."Mister Murong?"
That person was Murong Bo. The two times he met Dongfang Sheng, he had been wearing a black mask and did not reveal his true appearance. Moreover, Murong Bo looked much younger than his actual age. Although Dongfang Sheng heard the voice familiar, he did not recognize him.
"Young Master Dongfang, you have good eyes," Murong Bo said with a smile. I haven't seen you for many days. How have you been?"
Dongfang Sheng had a different feeling when he heard the phrase 'I trust you've been well'. He thought to himself,""'How have you been? Are you surprised that I didn't fall into the trap in the village?”He said,"It's really a rare encounter in life. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Murong here. I'm so lucky."”
Murong Bo pointed at the youth beside him and introduced,""This is my bad disciple."
The young man stood up and bowed to Dongfang Sheng.""Greetings, Mr. Dongfang."
Dongfang Sheng was stunned." Murong Bo has a disciple?”He looked up and saw that the young man had slightly dark skin, but his eyebrows were still delicate. He looked honest and asked casually,"May I ask little brother's name?"
"My surname is Song, and my name is Jiang."”
Even though Dongfang Sheng had a lot of inner energy, he felt as if his brain had exploded. "You…you're called Song Jiang?" Dongfang Sheng almost bit his tongue.
Murong Bo and Song Jiang both found Dongfang Sheng's reaction very strange. Why did a name make him lose his composure? "Have you heard of me, Mr. Dongfang?" Song Jiang asked in confusion.”
Only then did Dongfang Sheng recover from his shock. He covered up his embarrassment and said,""Ah…it's just that I have an old friend called Song Jiang.”As he spoke, he let out a few dry laughs and mumbled something. His heart was still churning, Song Jiang…is it that Song Jiang?”"What is the matter in Weihui City, Mr. Murong?"”
"Elder Xu of the Beggar's Sect was attacked and killed a few days ago," Murong Bo said."I heard the news nearby and came here. I guess Beggar's Sect will hold a funeral in the next few days. When the martial arts world gathers, I will recruit useful talents here.”Since Dongfang Sheng already knew his secret, Murong Bo didn't hide anything. Moreover, it was Dongfang Sheng's idea to cause trouble for Yanyun.
"Huh?" Dongfang Sheng was shocked again. Elder Xu is already dead?" He thought to himself, This Xiao Yuanshan is really fast.”
"Oh? Young Master Dongfang doesn't know about this? Then why did Young Master come to Wei Hui?"
"Ah, I was traveling around to broaden my horizons, so I came to Weihui by accident. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
"Oh…I see." Murong Bo pondered for a moment and said," Ever since we parted, there's something that has troubled me for a long time. I still need to ask you."”
"Please speak, Mister Murong. I will tell you everything I know.”
"Young Master once said that the King of Chu of the Liao Dynasty would rebel. I sent people to investigate, and as you expected, the south courtyard is secretly stockpiling food and fodder, preparing horses and soldiers, and indeed has the intention of rebellion. This old man secretly made preparations in Shandong and made arrangements among the Han people of the Dark Cloud Tribe. Once the army of the south courtyard left, the great event would be accomplished. But…"
"What's wrong?"
"The Liao cavalry is strong. If the troops heading north see the smoke in the city and send 30,000 cavalry back to Nanjing immediately, I'm afraid that even 100,000 troops won't be able to win. May I know how Mister Dongfang will deal with this?"
At this time, Song Jiang also interrupted,"If we are trapped in the isolated city, there is no hope of unifying Yanyun."”
Dongfang Sheng thought for a moment and smiled.""It's not difficult to defeat the Liao cavalry. I suggest that we fight with cavalry."
Murong Bo was rather disappointed when he heard that. He said,""The Khitan cavalry might not be able to stop the Han cavalry. Moreover, gathering thirty thousand horses was easier said than done.”
" No!" Dongfang Sheng shook his head." If it's as I say, we don't need 30,000 cavalry to win."”
Murong Bo didn't seem to believe him. He frowned at Dongfang Sheng.
Dongfang Sheng said unhurriedly," Mr. Murong can choose 1,000 Han people from Youyun who are good at riding horses. Each of them will be equipped with three horses. They will not wear armor and will only hold a horned bow. They will not fight with the enemy in close combat. They will only attack the enemy with riding and archery. One person and three horses, riding in turn, the horse's power will not be reduced, the horse speed is faster than the enemy. The enemy advances, we retreat, the enemy retreats, we advance. The 30,000 cavalry of the Liao Kingdom could not even withstand a single blow.”
Murong Bo and Song Jiang were dumbfounded when they heard these words. Cavalrymen don't wear armor, don't use sabers, don't fight hand-to-hand with the enemy, and only use bows and arrows to hurt the enemy? One had to know that even the Song Dynasty archers were equipped with waist knives to deal with hand-to-hand combat. Sabers and spears were the symbol of cavalry. Although the northern people had the tradition of riding and shooting, they had never listed it as their main means of attack. The cavalry still used charging as their specialty. One man and three horses was even more unheard of.
Dongfang Sheng looked at their expressions and continued proudly,"This kind of cavalry doesn't need to be resupplied. One person only needs to bring a little food to go into battle. With the high mobility of one person and three horses, they could run hundreds of miles at any time to find supplies. If they really couldn't, they could also use so many empty horses as military rations. Just killing one horse per person could last them for several months.”
Murong Bo could only understand a little of what Dongfang Sheng said after that, but he still understood the general meaning. His heart was deeply shaken by this novel battle method. Dongfang Sheng laughed to himself." This 'Jianma' and 'Riding and Shooting' will be the Mongol's ultimate moves to sweep across Europe and Asia in the future. Isn't it easy to scare you?"”
Seeing that the two of them were still in a daze, Dongfang Sheng stood up and said goodbye,"Mr. Murong, we'll meet again.”Without waiting for Murong Bo's reaction, she hurried downstairs and left. At this moment, he wasn't necessarily afraid of Murong Bo. However, if the other party tried to invite him to join them, it would be a headache, so he quickly ran away.
Murong Bo thought about it for a long time before he raised his head and asked Song Jiang,""Disciple, what do you think of this person?"
At this moment, Song Jiang no longer looked as honest as before. There was a hint of sinister in his eyes. "This person is indeed terrifying. I actually didn't believe it when Master mentioned it earlier.”
Murong Bo looked at Song Jiang with interest and said,""You rarely give people such a high evaluation. His strategy of using cavalry against cavalry was indeed unprecedented.”
"This riding and archery technique is indeed an eye-opener, but that's not the only reason why I say this person is terrifying."”
"Oh?"
"Master might not have noticed, but he just said,'Elder Xu is already dead?'This meant that he had expected Elder Xu's death, but he did not know that it would happen the day before yesterday. If he wasn't involved in this matter, then this person must have predicted everything like a god. At the very least, I can't guess this.”
Murong Bo frowned slightly and sighed." A year ago, I was still stronger than him in martial arts, but now I can't see his depth." Such a talented person in both civil and military affairs, unexpectedly can not be used by me.”"Do you think that this riding and archery tactic can defeat the Liao cavalry?"”
"If we use this method, our Great Yan cavalry will definitely sweep through the North Desert," replied Song Jiang. If he could have ten thousand elite cavalry, he might be able to take advantage of the chaos to destroy Liao. I deduced in my heart and felt that this technique was flawless.”
"Alright!" Murong Bo said. Thus, I ordered people to prepare to train a new cavalry army. Yes, he had to give it a resounding name.”
"He comes and goes as if he were flying," said Song Jiang. Why don't we call it the 'Flying Cavalry Army'?"
Murong Bo recited it silently and laughed,""Alright, let's call it the 'Flying Cavalry Army'. Now, I want to see the heroic bearing of Great Yan's 'Flying Cavalry Army'.”
The invincible "winged cavalry army" that would be able to gallop north in the future was quietly born in a restaurant in Weihui City.
