Four days later, Jiang Shaohua's figure appeared in the guard camp.
Qin Zhan, Meng Dashan, Liu Hengchang, and three others were summoned to the military tent. Together with Song Yuan, the four of them discussed secretly with the princess for a long time.
"The general understands what the princess means." Liu Hengchang is worthy of being a wise general with both civil and military skills. He was the first to understand the princess's intention: "The princess has brought eight Rouran horse slaves. It is hoped that through them we will become familiar with the combat methods of the Rouran Cavalry and practice targeted training in advance. Soldiers."
Jiang Shaohua looked at Liu Hengchang approvingly: "That's right!"
Qin Zhan said immediately: "There are only eight people, how can there be enough for three guards? Let’s all go to the first battalion first and let our guards of the first battalion train for two months.”
Meng Dashan rolled his eyes and said, "No! Who knows how many of these eight Rouran people will be left after two months. Besides, why did the first battalion take up all the good things from the first battalion?" < br>
Liu Hengchang is different from them, He thought more deeply: "The princess's personal guards are familiar with Rouran cavalry operations. Could it be that they have the intention to fight Rouran cavalry to regain Pengcheng in the future?"
Qin Zhan Meng Dashan only reacted after being reminded like this, and quickly Look at each other.
Jiang Shaohua was silent for a moment and whispered: "You are all my closest and most trusted people, and I don't want to hide it from you. I do have this intention."
"Rouran Cavalry made a big move They invaded the border, massacred Pengcheng, and kidnapped gold, silver, jewelry, food, and tens of thousands of people. On the other hand, Daliang Chaotang did not think about revenge, and was still quarreling over the selection of the leader of the border army. "
"General Zuo was summoned to question the crime, and General Fan took over the frontier army. Although General Fan is a loyal minister and capable general, I am not optimistic about the court's move. I am worried that Rouran will taste the sweetness of plunder, and will do so in the future. Repeat the old trick."
"Say I am Wei Yu. Whether it’s preparation or anxiety, I have to do something.”
“Of course, there’s not much I can do right now. Store more food, prepare more horses and weapons, and expand and train more troops. . That’s it.”
Isn’t that enough?
Any action by the vassal kings recorded in the history books was regarded as rebellion... After all, it was the court's business to regain the country and fight against foreigners, and the princess's "preparation for a rainy day" was already a matter of saving money. Beyond.
Liu Hengchang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and remained silent.
Song Yuan's voice sounded: "The imperial court is incompetent. The princess responded as soon as possible for the sake of the Jiang family and the safety of the people."
Qin Zhan reacted and answered: " What Commander Song said is that although everyone in our guard camp can ride a horse, in terms of There must be some differences between the horsemanship and combat skills of the Rouran Knights. It’s a good thing to practice them early.”
“I will do whatever the princess asks me to do.” ”
Then, the three of them looked at Liu Hengchang together.
Liu Hengchang looked back inexplicably: "What do you think I'm doing? I just wanted to ask the princess clearly what she wanted, and I didn't mean to object."
A few years ago, he was determined to do it. Follow the princess.
Whenever the governor wants to defend Nanyang County, expand his power, or has greater ambitions, he will follow him.
Song Yuan smiled. Qin Zhan directly reached out and patted Liu Hengchang on the shoulder: "Old Liu, I always thought you were too gloomy and thoughtful in the past. Now I know I misunderstood you."
Meng Dashan grinned and said: " From today on, we are real brothers.”
Qin Zhan nodded in agreement.
Liu Hengchang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "In that case, these eight Rouran people will stay in the third battalion. I will study the horse battle carefully and see how to defeat the Rouran cavalry."
Qin Zhan: "..."
Meng Dashan: "..." Jiang Shaohua nodded: "My princess means the same thing."
have to! Just let Liu Hengchang return.
Qin Zhan loved to show off his strength at Meng Dashan Pass, but in fact he knew Liu Hengchang's ability in his heart. When it comes to fighting alone, Liu Hengchang is no match for them. In terms of military training ability, their combined ability is not as good as Liu Hengchang. After a few complaints, they all accepted it.
Jiang Shaohua said: "I have secretly ordered the Ma family to buy as many Rouran horse slaves as possible when they go outside the customs to buy horse slaves."
"Army training is not something that happens overnight. , Rouran has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, Xiong Outside the grassland pass, Commander Liu doesn't have to worry, and he should take his time to study strategies against the enemy, and don't train too hard. These Rouran horse slaves are all bought with money, and they will keep their horses. Life."
Liu Hengchang handed over his hand.
...
“Tsk, tsk! How miserable!”
In the tent of the wounded soldiers, lying unconscious and covered with injuries, a foreign man with a broken right arm was none other than Mani.
Mani was personally taught a lesson by Jiang Shaohua a few days ago, and he was really hurt. After being dragged to the guard camp by a carriage, he was sent to the tent of the wounded soldiers.
While treating Mani's injuries, Sun Guangbai murmured: "I heard that the princess did it herself. This man named Mani is quite durable, and he is still alive after this."
Shan Xing on the side pursed his lips and smiled, handing over wound medicine and bandages.
After the two got married in February, they returned to the Guards Camp together. Now they live in the same military tent and work together during the day, and they are so sweet and affectionate. Even Sun Zelan didn't want to be with the newlyweds, lest he be blinded all the time.
After treating Mani's injury, Sun Guangbai yawned, held Shan Xing's hand and returned to the military tent.
Those who cannot afford to be seriously injured cannot live without others. Lin Huiniang took the initiative to stay and take care of the injured.
After staying in the military camp for a long time and seeing many injured and naked soldiers, Lin Huiniang was not moved at all by Mani, a muscular foreign man covered in bandages.
In the middle of the night, Mani suddenly babbled in his sleep, screamed and screamed, with a ferocious and painful face.
Lin Huiniang wiped the sweat from his face with a warm towel.
Mani suddenly opened his eyes and moved his left hand. The pain penetrated his bones. He gritted his teeth hard and refused to show weakness and cry out in pain.
Lin Huiniang didn't care about his stubbornness at all. After wiping away the sweat, she brought a bowl of warm water and fed him to drink.
Mani was unwilling to open his mouth, so Lin Huiniang stretched out her hand and pinched his chin. He had to open his mouth, and he was given a bowl of water.
"Drink and go to bed." Lin Huiniang had been busy all day and had to stay up late to take care of the injured. Even though she was tired, she said with a bad face: "You are covered with injuries now, so don't move around. If you move and dislocate your bones, you will be the one to suffer." "
Regardless of whether Mani could understand it or not, Lin Huiniang went to the other side of the military tent after finishing speaking. There was another seriously injured patient there. He was a bodyguard who went with the Tang family to run a grain store. On the way, he encountered a large group of hungry people who attacked the grain team and was seriously injured.
These are the wounded soldiers who need to be taken good care of. Much more important than that strange and sinister-looking foreign man slave.
Lin Huiniang wiped the wounded soldier carefully, dipped cotton gauze in water, and gently applied it on the dry and chapped lips of the wounded soldier.
Mani: "..." (End of this chapter)
