Chapter 182: Barracks Gathering
At home, he and Zi Yanran kept warm for a long time, which made Meng Tian feel comfortable all over. Zi Yanran hasn't seen her lover for nearly a month, and she caters to her lover's request in every way. After the warmth, Zi Yanran was tired and lay drowsy in the comfortable bed, Meng Tian looked at the beauty beside her, smiled at the corner of her mouth, kissed Zi Yanran's smooth forehead, and the sleeping beauty squirmed, and then continued to sleep.
Quietly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room. Tell the maid at the door not to go in and disturb Zi Yan Then, Meng Tian first went to the stable. There are several horses in the stable, all of which were sent by Zi Yanran's father from Beijun, and they are all in the best condition. But Meng Tian's Black Wind still stood out among these horses, and his head alone was nearly a foot taller than the rest of the horses.
Seeing that the master had arrived, Black Wind raised his head and hissed, expressing his joy to his master. Meng Tian walked over with a smile, released the black wind from the stable, and then grabbed a handful of hay and fed it to eat. "Good man, you have suffered with me this month, you can take care of me at home during the next period of time, see those few little mares, and strive to give birth to a few little sweaty horses for me in the spring of the New Year, do you know?" Meng Tian said as he fed the black wind grass with one hand, and then touched the black wind's mane with the other.
Hei Feng seemed to understand his master's words, and shouted in protest dissatisfied with being treated as a tool, but in Meng Tian's ears, he thought that it agreed with his arrangement.
brushed the hair on Hei Feng's body, and then Meng Tian rode another horse out of the door. After going out, Meng Tian galloped directly in the direction of the Meng family's military camp. After all, he hadn't been to the Mengjia military camp for more than half a year, and he really missed the brothers in the barracks.
After leaving Xianyang City to the west, I rode for more than half an hour and saw the gate of the Mengjia army camp from a distance. But before he reached the door, Meng Tian suddenly heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air, Meng Tian knew that someone was ambushing, and then he lay on the horse's back, grabbed the sword hanging on the horse with his backhand, pulled out the sword and waved it continuously on his back. "Ding" and "Ding" sounded twice, and two short crossbow arrows fell to the ground.
"Who dares to lie in ambush here?" Meng Tian jumped off his horse, sword in both hands, vigilantly observing his surroundings.
His voice fell, and four black-clothed men emerged from the bushes on both sides of the road, each holding a short crossbow that had made great contributions to the Qin army, and each short crossbow had two crossbow arrows to be fired, and the arrows were pointing at Meng Tian.
"Stop. After the four people came out, another man came out behind them, and after seeing Meng Tian, the man immediately knelt on the ground. "Xue Bin, the commander of the first battalion of the Mengjia Army, visited the major general. ”
Hear your boss worship
Seeing that the other party was still respectfully called the major general, no matter how stupid the four of them were, they knew the identity of the man in front of them. "Meet the Major General. ”
Meng Tian saw that it was Xue Bin, put down the sword, and said with a soothing expression: "Get up." After seeing Xue Bin and the five of them get up, Meng Tian continued: "Xue Bin, what's the matter, why did you set up a secret sentry on the road? And shoot arrows indiscriminately?"
Xue Bin clenched his fists and said: "Back to the words of the young general, this is an order under the commander of Mengli, before the commander of Mengli followed the young general to South Korea, strangers were often found around the barracks, and the commander was afraid that someone would do wrong to our Mengjia army, so we expanded the scope of our vigilance by a mile." If someone forcibly breaks in on horseback, shoot him down first. I didn't expect the major general to come back today, but his subordinates were reckless. ”
There are strangers in the vicinity of the barracks? Within 10 miles of the Mengjiajun barracks, it has been designated as a forbidden area, and before that, Meng Tian also specially asked people to notify the Orion farmers living around the Mengjiajun barracks, and all those who are willing to move out will be given a settling-in allowance, as early as soon after the Mengjia army established the camp, the surrounding mountains and forests were already uninhabited. Now that someone is around the barracks, I don't think anything good will happen.
Meng Tian looked at Xue Bin and the four men he led, went over and patted each of them on the shoulder, and then said, "I know, you guys are doing a good job, I didn't even find out about your existence." Keep lurking, I haven't been here for a long time, and I'll come back this time to meet my brothers. ”
Xue Bin and his subordinates clasped their fists together and said, "No." With that, the five disappeared into the bushes by the side of the road like ghosts.
After Meng Tian left, a soldier of the Meng family asked the boss beside him: "Boss, is this our young general? ”
Xue Bin slapped him on the head. He scolded with a smile: "What's wrong with being young, last year, the young general brought hundreds of people to the royal court of the Rong Di people, can you ask yourself if you can do it? The young general is the pride of our Mengjia army." The major general also said just now, you guys are doing a good job, you must know that the major general rarely praises people, and he didn't embarrass me. ”
"That's the soldiers, don't look at who we are!"
"Okay, don't give you some color, you will be brilliant, the major general is in the barracks today, observe the movements around me well, and when the brothers who change shifts come at night, I will take you to toast the major general. ”
"Alright, boss. Just take a look. ”
Meng Tian mounted his horse and arrived at the gate of the Meng family's military camp. Guarding the door was a veteran of the Mengjia army, who recognized Meng Tian and hurriedly ordered someone to carry away the horse rejection stake at the door, and then welcomed Meng Tian back to the camp.
When Meng Tian and Meng Li were not there, Du Hui was in charge of the Meng family army camp. Meng Li came back today, but he just came out
It was a long journey, so when Meng Li returned to the camp, he went back to his tent and rested for a while. When Meng Tian arrived at the handsome tent in the barracks, Du Hui was the only one reading the military book inside.
Hearing the soldier at the door say to greet the young general, Du Hui raised his head and just saw Meng Tian enter the tent. will quickly put down the military book in his hand and stand up, walk over and hug Meng Tian.
"Brother Du, long time no see. The two hugged tightly, and then separated, Meng Tian said to Du Hui.
Du Hui was also very happy, he hadn't seen Meng Tian for nearly a year. Since following Meng Tian to the Mengjia Army, Du Hui has been responsible for the training in the military camp and the management of all daily affairs. Meng Tian became the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, and the Meng family army was in charge of Meng Wu, but Meng Wu rarely came to the barracks, and Meng Li took his carefully selected soldiers to train in the mountains next to the barracks every day, and the heavy responsibility of managing the barracks naturally fell on Du Hui's shoulders.
Du Hui was also grateful for Meng Tian's trust, especially after he took his family to Xianyang City to settle down, he regarded himself as a Qin person, and regarded the Meng family army as his home.
Du Hui looked at Meng Tian and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, "Yes, Major General, we two brothers haven't seen each other for almost a year." ”
The two of them had a lot to say when they met, and Meng Tian was also very grateful to Du Hui for taking care of the Meng family army for him. The two of them finally met, and after a while, they chatted enthusiastically, and even the two soldiers standing at the door felt inexplicable, how could the two generals have so much to say, one would talk about the affairs of the Chu State, and the other would talk about the Shu County of the Qin State, as well as the king's wedding, the war at the border pass, and so on.
After learning that Meng Tian was coming, Du Hui ordered someone to tell the quartermaster in the barracks and asked him to send someone to buy some cattle and sheep to come back, although it is forbidden to drink alcohol in the barracks, but it is okay to drink less, not to mention that Meng Tian is here today, the big guys will get together and be happy.
When it got dark, the lights in the Mengjia military camp were bright, and a huge bonfire was lit on the school field in the barracks, and there were piles of small bonfires around it, on which the whole sheep that had been cleaned up were set up, and some soldiers who could barbecue were sprinkling seasonings on them.
Meng Tian began to sleep as soon as he returned to the barracks, and slept until it was almost dark before he was woken up by the noise outside. At this time, the general commander and the two deputy commanders of the Meng family army arrived, and Meng Tian ordered the dinner party to begin.
At the dinner, everyone let go of their bellies, but fortunately, the general in charge of the purchase bought some more cattle and sheep, otherwise there would not be enough to eat at night. Although it was already very cold at night, everyone was still lively until midnight, and Meng Tian, who was the commander and soul figure, as well as Meng Li and Du Hui, were all carried back to the camp tent by the soldiers around them to sleep.
