    As the emotions of the three men changed, Luo Canniang's emotions also changed continuously.  ¡òLiterature Hallr /> When serving tea to Wang Chong, he was still nervous and restrained. It was not that he was afraid of the atmosphere of the military camp. Compared with the military fortress in Xingwen Village, this military camp had no killing power at all.  Luo Canniang is not used to the role of a maid yet. For her, how to serve Wang Chong gracefully and gracefully in front of outsiders without being laughed at and uneducated is a big challenge.  She cautiously stepped back and learned the tricks of the two sisters Xiang Lian and Yu Lian in her memory. Seeing Wang Chong take the tea cup and smile faintly at her, Luo Canniang was relieved and her little heart was filled with joy.  Full.  Then Wang Chong reprimanded three heroic men who were several years older than him. His clear words still had a hint of youthful voice, but there was no hint of violation.  Although the status of an official was on the first level, it was Wang Chong's appearance that made Luo Canniang's heart tremble.  "Compared with a year ago, not only is he nearly an inch taller, but his shoulders are also a lot wider, almost the same as Mrs. Wang.  The eyebrows became deeper and deeper, the contours of the cheeks became steeper and straighter, especially the bridge of the nose, which was as straight as a cliff, making Luo Canniang's tender heart feel slightly itchy.  She has passed her prime years, her daughter's heart has sprouted, and she vaguely understands things between men and women.  Compared with the handsome Yuwen Liulang, Wang Chong's appearance is obviously much inferior. Compared with the square-faced and broad-breasted Wang Shiyi, Wang Chong lacks the flavor of a great husband. But in Luo Canniang's opinion  , Wang Chong is like the ubiquitous stone mountain in his hometown, covered with a layer of red mud, with only shallow vegetation and wild flowers growing, but under the soil, there is a thick rock that allows people to lean on steadily.  Luo Canniang's thoughts were not as delicate as Xianglian's, and Yulian's were as gentle as those of Yulian, and even not as delicate as the silver moon that had experienced human affairs and lingering emotions. She couldn't tell the difference between her demeanor and appearance. She didn't know that this feeling was caused by Wang Chong's deep concentration.  Born of anger.  But she was sure of one thing.  The blood feud she was entangled in had long since faded away, leaving only the intimacy of being close to this rocky mountain and linked to its blessings and misfortunes.  Seeing Wang Chong giving his official instructions, Luo Canniang felt sweet in her heart, but then the conversation suddenly turned to herself. She was shocked and ashamed, and blushed instantly on her face.  When the three men cast disbelieving looks, not only did the blush spread rapidly to their necks, but their thin brows also stood up.  Look down on people like that!  ?  Then Wang Chong said: "Canniang, go change your armor and get a crossbow, let them see what you are capable of." Luo Canniang responded crisply and forcefully: "Yes, officer!" Tian Zhongsi and Yang's uncle and nephew had six eyes.  Looking at each other, they secretly thought about this little girl.  I'm afraid that Wang Chong is going to give them some power.  Nineteen Tibetan soldiers, a total of six to seven hundred people, gathered in the archery range on one side of the military camp. From the leader to the ordinary Tibetan soldiers, everyone had their own thoughts, some were surprised, some were curious, some were disdainful.  All eyes were focused on a petite figure.  Wearing leather armor, with a bright red skirt exposed under the armor skirt, and a helmet on the head, the armor pieces reflect the bright silver scales.  Coupled with the powerful crossbow in her hand, even though the girl's figure is delicate, she still exudes a murderous aura.  "God's Arm Bow!" Exclaims rang out from the crowd of onlookers. This was a powerful weapon for the Song Dynasty's military.  The power of the crossbow is as high as four stones, and it is difficult for ordinary men to pull it.  Not to mention such a weak little girl.  "It's not a divine arm bow, it's just a wooden crossbow with a stirrup." Tian Zhongsi had seen this thing in Xingwen Village. The real divine arm bow has special requirements in the selection and production of the bow arm. It cannot be used alone.  The stirrups you step on can withstand the force of four stones.  "Even if it is a modified wooden crossbow, it still has the power of at least two stones. It is always a strong crossbow. In the southwest states, soldiers who can fire strong crossbows are considered elite soldiers." Long Yanhao from Nanning Prefecture suddenly narrowed his eyes.  The focus shifted from the girl to the crossbow.  "Even if it's a two-stone crossbow, it takes a man to pull it open. Can this little girl do it?" "It should be less than two stones. If you put her out there, you can definitely fire it, but what's the trick in this?"  Yang's uncle and nephew were speculating on Wang Chong's intentions. It was simple to add stirrups to the wooden crossbow. It was not a world-shattering miracle for a delicate girl to have supernatural powers. Apart from that, what else was there?  "This outfit, could it be" Manzhou Song Xiding's eyes wandered back and forth on the girl's chest and waist. Of course, it had nothing to do with distracting thoughts, but the girl's outfit was a bit strange.  Instead of carrying the crossbow arrow quiver around his waist as usual, he had two small quivers tied to his chest, each holding a dozen crossbow arrows, equivalent to an ordinary quiver.  There is also a four-claw iron hook hanging from his waist. I don't know what it is for.  The infantry sword that should have been carried at the waist was hanging behind his back, just under the buckler he was carrying.  Tian Xiang, the clan leader, said to Tian Zhongsi: "It's a war attire. It seems to be a deliberate demonstration of actual combat." "Canniang, is it okay?" "Officer, don't worry!" Wang Chong asked again, and Luo Canniang raised his hand.  Hands, and everyone was surprised, two hands actually?Wear gloves.  It¡¯s time to feel sorry for your maid and take care of her. Everyone thought so. Only Tian Zhongsi and Song Xiding seemed to realize it.  Wang Chong nodded, and Wu Jin, who was standing by, rang the small gong. With a crisp sound, he saw the girl stationed with a crossbow, stepped on the stirrup, bent down, hooked her waist on the crossbow string, and then  He held the crossbow string with both hands and exhaled with a roar.  I didn¡¯t see the girl gritting her teeth and exerting force, nor did I see any big movements of her arms. In an instant, the girl stretched out like a lying silkworm, raising her waist, arms, and head one after another. It was like a dancer changing her dance posture with a small movement, and the crossbow string was hooked up.  Crossbow machine.  Before everyone could break away from this pleasing moment of beauty, the girl had already loaded the crossbow, leveled the wooden crossbow, and squinted her eyes to aim.  Forty steps away, there stood a row of ten life-size straw men, with clear heads, torsos and limbs. The heads were covered with leather helmets and the torsos were covered with leather armor.  The girl only spent about half a breath to aim, and then she quickly clicked her teeth.  The crossbow arrow shot out and stabbed firmly into the straw man's head, which was in front of him.  There were hums and low voices in the crowd, and the three people who initially expressed contempt for the young instructor were shocked. They secretly thought that with their crossbow skills, they could indeed become instructors.  Although the distance is only forty steps, which is still far from the hundred steps that a powerful crossbow can reach, or even the two hundred and fifty steps that a divine arm bow can reach, in the southwest, forty steps is already the limit for a crossbow to kill enemies.  Not only is the terrain rugged, but also the crossbows are inherently weak.  This young girl can hit the target in the face from forty steps away, and her accuracy is as good as that of the sharpshooters of all races. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the gong sounded again, the girl bent down to wind the string again, showing off her beautiful figure again.  Everyone who had just had a glimpse of it secretly exclaimed that they were very satisfied.  After four or five breaths, the girl shot the second arrow. This time there was a muffled sound, and the crossbow arrow actually hit the grasshopper's heart, penetrating the leather armor, leaving only half of the arrow shaft outside.  This arrow immediately silenced the buzzing sound, and Tian Zhongsi and other leaders also gasped. This crossbow must be more than two stones, otherwise it would be impossible to penetrate the leather armor.  The leather armor worn by the straw man was the same as the one worn by the girl.  They were all official armor of the Song Dynasty. When they saw it just now, they secretly thought that the Song Dynasty was so rich that they even used this kind of armor to test arrows. This leather armor was in the southwest states.  Only a few elite soldiers can afford the equipment.  What shocked Tian Zhongsi and others was not just the power of the crossbow. Song Xiding had an expression on his face as he muttered in a low voice: "It's so fast" It was indeed fast. Although there was an extra hook on the waist, the girl was extremely skilled in winding the crossbow.  , effortlessly, two arrows pause.  It's actually faster than an ordinary crossbow.  While everyone was still thinking about it, the gong sounded again, and the third arrow came again.  Fourth, fifth As everyone's faces became more and more solemn, the girl shot six arrows in one breath.  At the seventh arrow, a rough gasp finally came out, and the girl's cheeks turned red.  "Okay" Wang Chong stopped in time, and Luo Canniang exhaled and drank.  The string was still wound, but obediently no more arrows were mounted.  "It's numb. Go back and rub it. You are just trying to be brave, but very good, you did a good job." Her words were full of praise and doting, and Luo Canniang curled her lips with satisfaction.  I feel that it is really worth all the tiredness and sweating, but the previous experience of leading the shopkeepers to practice crossbow skills in Xingwen Village is even more worth it.  No matter Xianglian Yulian or Yinyue, the three sisters are not as good as her. She is now the instructor.  More importantly, relying on this advantage, she was able to be alone with the officials for a long time. The sourness in the eyes of her three sisters when she left home gave her a full meal.  After watching the happy girl leave, Wang Chong looked at the crowd again and found that their eyes were still glued to the girl. He had to cough to pull back their complicated thoughts.  Wang Chong asked with a faint smile: "What do you see?" Everyone looked at each other in silence for a while, and then Tian Zhongsi remembered his responsibilities as Wang Chong's entrustment. Of course, at this time, he was sincere.  I heard him exclaim in shock: "This is the battle formation crossbow technique! Are you going to teach us this!?" Song Xiding's eyes flashed, and he also said: "There are stirrups and waist hooks, and there are also people who use their legs, arms, and waist to fire the crossbow at the same time!  Techniques" "The words of the two people are very accurate. The focus of Luo Canniang's demonstration is not her accuracy, not her power to fire a two-stone crossbow seven times as a delicate girl, but her equipment. She fired the crossbow.  Her skills ultimately contributed to her speed in firing the crossbow.  The time it takes an ordinary crossbowman to shoot one arrow is enough for an archer to shoot five or six arrows in succession.  Luo Canniang's demonstration narrowed the gap to three or four bows versus one crossbow, and she could still fire the crossbow at a sustained speed. This was because Luo Canniang was weak, but with strong soldiers, she could fire twenty or thirty crossbows at the same speed.  .  This set of things is not aimed at individuals, but at the battle formation techniques of hundreds and thousands of crossbowmen.  Wang Chong nodded and said: "There are also bow skills, spear skills and formations, but bow skills and spear skills are only second to the court battle formations.??Second seat, everyone knows that the imperial crossbow is the heaviest, the divine arm bow. You are all just vassals. I cannot teach you the art of the divine arm bow, but I can teach you the art of the powerful crossbow. Neither can the formation.  The military formation method used by officers and soldiers is only used to pacify the people and suppress thieves.  ¡± The barbarian leaders who originally had their own grudges and even grudges all had the same expression at this time. Overjoyed was the first reaction. All the barbarians in the southwest admired the martial arts of the Song Dynasty. Although the martial arts of the Song Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was still the best.  With strong spears and thorough laws, Wang Chong can teach military skills and formations, which greatly improves the military strength of their vassals. Then he is doubtful. Is the imperial court really willing to do this? Unless it is like the Nanping Army, which will lead to the vassal's military strength.  The land of Yi was brought under the control of the king, and the Tibetan soldiers could be effectively controlled by the imperial court. Although Wang Chong was young, he was an official of the imperial court, and his gathering of the Tibetan soldiers this time was under the orders of the two divisions. His words meant that.  The Song Dynasty court is unlikely to be fake. In this case, the question becomes deeper. Why did the court want to recruit Tibetan soldiers? Is it another temptation?  Could it be that they were going to expand the border in the southwest, accept the vassal barbarians as the king's territory, and eliminate them, the lords of the vassal barbarians? Tian Zhongsi's mind was spinning quickly, and he blurted out: "Could it be that the imperial court intends to take Luo" The word "Luo" was exported?  , everyone knows its meaning, that is, Wuman of Luo State, Long Yanhao of Nanning Prefecture, Song Xiding of Manzhou, and Liangyang of Zunyi of Bozhou are all eye-catching. Although there is hatred between these families, they are not related to Wuman of Luo State.  The grudges are insignificant in comparison. After all, apart from Dali, Luo Wuman is the largest force in the southwest, and they have feuds with various families. Wang Chong interrupted: "The imperial court has no intention of conquering the southwest  " Everyone was dismayed, and Wang Chong said again: "However, the imperial court does intend to have contacts with the Luo Kingdom, so it must take precautions. In addition, the troubles in the southwest of Jingping also require the cooperation of all the vassals.  " Everyone's spirits were lifted again. These words left a lot of room for maneuver. Wang Chong vaguely mentioned the court's changes to various companies before, as well as the official documents of the two companies produced when mobilizing troops. It seems that there is a lot of room for manipulation.  . Seeing the exchanges between the representatives of the nineteen vassals, Wang Chong secretly thought that the half-year tour in Guizhou Province was just a casual friendship, and now that there are opportunities to entice them, they are not afraid that none of them will come on board.  But most of them are close disciples, and being able to influence these people and unite them into a force is enough to pave the way for them. "The thieves in Yanzhou fled away and wandered to the east of Luo State, from Zizhou to Nanning Prefecture.  A place for them to hide and even cause trouble.  The Lunan Appeasement Department and the Border Affairs Department jointly raised this matter and specifically allowed the Tibetan soldiers to go up to the three-month march. With the flag and military order, they went to all the vassal and barbarian military prefectures to select the best Tibetan soldiers" This is the writing of the two departments, Wang Chong  The excuse for gathering the legal documents of the Tibetan soldiers was just to exterminate the "shadow bandits". There was also money and food for dispatching the Tibetan soldiers, including the 300 Ishikawa salt he had obtained from the Appeasement Department, and the 2,000 Ishikawa salt that Zongze had asked from the Border Affairs Department.  A piece of silk cannot satisfy the appetite of the imperial troops, but for the barbarians in the southwest, it is considered generous. Wang Chong said again: "Three months!  Your task is to form a strong army within three months. Although you are small in number, you are the imperial needle that stabilizes the southwest.  " Tian Zhongsi and others responded with a bang. They all said in their hearts that in three months, when their children complete their studies and return to their hometowns, the military affairs at home will take on a completely new aspect. " Looking at these temporary subordinates who seemed to be united, Wang Chong said in his heart, you all have your own thoughts now.  It doesn't matter, it's only through your careful thinking that I can hold you together and prepare for the catastrophe ten years from now. How can we build a strong army in three months? It's just like making wine first.  It¡¯s just koji, and there is still a long time for the koji to ferment.
