Chapter Twenty-Four: Chen You's Soldiers
"Report to my father, the guards of all the provinces have gone to the big tent to listen. Nan Xianguo bent down and clenched his fists and said, Nan Juan said: "Listen to the order in the tent" At this time, Nan Juan had already put on his helmet and was dressed in a military uniform, although he was a few years old, but his posture was as tall as a pine, and his momentum was as strong as the sun. All the guards will enter the big tent and finish the station.
Nan Juan said solemnly: "He Fengzai, Li Zhengtong, Zhao Junping, Xiang Yingwu, Yin Tiantu, Li Yuelu, I will ask a few of you, here, will the winter solstice blow the south wind?"
He Feng took another step forward and replied: "Back to the old general, every winter solstice here, there will indeed be a south wind, and the wind is very strong, the south wind recedes, the north wind comes, and it enters the deep winter." The rest of the guards nodded at the same time.
Nan Juan drank and said: "Okay, God help me, Li Xiao helps me too, hahahaha" Nan Juan said again: "How long is the winter solstice?" Nan Juan's eldest son Nan Fengguo said: "Back to my father, the half moon is coming." Nan Juan took a deep breath, brushed his armor, straightened his helmet and said: "All the generals will listen to the order" Everyone said in unison: "The last general will listen to the order"
Nan Juan picked up the first arrow and said: "Dongning City Guard He Feng will listen to the order again" He Feng took another step forward and said: "The last general will listen to the order" Nan Juan said: "He Fengzai, you lead the people of Dongning headquarters, I am with 5,000 men and horses, immediately go out of the customs, go to the east of the North Camp of the Sanling Army fifty miles to the village, wait for my order, there must be no mistake." He Feng took another step forward, took the big order and said: "The last general's order"
Nan Juan picked up the second arrow and said: "Nan Fengguo listens to the order" Nan Fengguo took a step forward and said, "The son will receive the order", Nan Juan said: "You lead the soldiers and horses of the Shu army, I am going down to the village with you 10,000 Yu He Feng ten miles away, waiting for my order, there must be no mistake." Nan Fengguo was ordered to withdraw.
Nan Juan picked up the third arrow and said: "Li Zhengtong listens to the order, you lead Chen Shui's soldiers and horses, I am with you 5,000 miles, go to the west of the Sanling Army's northern camp fifty miles to the village, wait for my order, there must be no mistake." "Li Zhengtong received the order to withdraw.
Nan Juan picked up the fourth arrow and said: "Zhao Junping listens to the order, you lead the Tianyang soldiers and horses, and go down to the village between Nan Fengguo and Li Zhengtong, and wait for my order, there must be no mistake." "Find Junping and take the order to retreat.
Nan Juan picked up the fifth arrow and said: "Xiang Yingwu received the order, you lead the Loulan soldiers and horses, prepare more carts and pockets, dig more soil, sand, and stones to bag, and prepare 5,000 carts within ten days, there must be no mistakes." Xiang Yingwu received the order to retreat.
Nan Juan picked up the sixth arrow and said: "Yin Tiantu and Li Yue Luren listen to the order, and you two will take the military horses of the headquarters as the five-way envoys, and replenish food and equipment for the five-way military horses, and there must be no mistakes." The two were ordered to withdraw.
Only Nan Juan and Nan Xianguo were left in the tent, and Nan Juan said: "Xian'er, polish ink for my father, and I want to write a book back to Li Xiao." Nan Juan picked up the pen and wrote:
Expeditionary General Li Xiao:

South silk pen
After the letter was written, he pressed the handsome seal of General Nan Juan, put it in the envelope, took out a war pigeon and released it, and the war pigeon flew into Shu County.
Li Xiao looked at Nan Juan's reply and said to several senior brothers: "General Nan Juan has agreed, Chen Yu has been dispatched, and victory or defeat is in one fell swoop." A few senior brothers were just about to speak, when a soldier ran outside the big tent and reported: "Report to the general, a large number of shields have been found in the quartermaster cabin of the original enemy army, and General Runfeng has asked you to come over and watch." ”
Li Xiao nodded, followed the soldiers all the way to the quartermaster warehouse, where Runfeng was counting the quartermasters, seeing Li Xiao coming, he bent down and clenched his fists and said: "General, I saw these shields, I don't know what to do with them, so I asked you to watch" Li Xiao glanced at it, saw that the shields were honest, each had one person to be high, Li Xiao lifted one, very heavy, more than sixty pounds, put down and looked at Runfeng, Runfeng said: "It's too heavy, our ordinary soldiers pick it up, and we can't use weapons at all, so I call you over, is it melted down and made into something else." Li Xiao nodded and said: "We really can't use these weapons of the spirit army, let's melt it" As soon as the words fell, he seemed to remember something and said: "Slow, carry all these shields to the school military field." ”
Runfeng led someone to carry the shield to the school military field, and Li Xiao said to Runfeng: "Do you remember the time at the cliff pass, how we fought?" Runfeng thought for a moment and said: "At that time, I was besieged, and I didn't pay much attention to how the general fought. Li Xiao nodded, and said to the soldiers on the school military field: "Whoever can hold this shield and run around the school military field will be rewarded with a piece of meat for dinner." As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers made a noise, scrambling to raise their shields and run away.
Run Feng said: "What does the general mean by this?" Li Xiao said: "Pick out some strong soldiers, I will give them a formation." Runfeng nodded, and then Guo Rengui ran over and said, "Brother, why are you here, I've been looking for you for a long time, you have to invite me to drink this time, you see, my new invention." As he spoke, he took out a Pikan shoulder.
Li Xiao and Runfeng looked at Guo Rengui inexplicably, Guo Rengui handed the shoulder to Runfeng and said, "General Xiaofeng, put him on." Runfeng glanced at Li Xiao, Li Xiao nodded, Runfeng put it on, only to see Guo Rengui pull out Li Xiao's saber and slash at the shoulder on Runfeng's body, it was too fast to react, the sword slashed to the shoulder only to hear the sound of "dangchang", and shot a few sparks, and Runfeng was not injured, Li Xiao and Runfeng looked at Guo Rengui happily.
Guo Rengui explained: "I wrapped the yellow ancient spider silk in the shoulders of this crossbow" said and took out a small crossbow with a hand, this crossbow is very small, raising his hand is like the shoulder on Runfeng's body to shoot "Papapa" Dozens of crossbow arrows hit Runfeng's body at once, the crossbow arrows are about three inches long, very thin, made of metal, Runfeng was hit by an arrow, and quickly looked at his body, but the body was not different, Li Xiao became interested in his hand crossbow and said: "Brother Rengui, you are two magic weapons." Make more and ration it to the sergeants. ”
Guo Rengui shook his head and said: "This shoulder, I don't have too much to get it with Huanggu spider silk, I can only make seventy or eighty pieces, this small crossbow can be done, but they are about to go to war, too much will definitely not be able to get it, there is nothing to be done." ”
A thought flashed through Li Xiao's head and said, "Can you get more than eighty first?"
Li Xiao said to Runfeng: "Record those who can take big shields, and let's start training tomorrow." He said to Guo Rengui again: "Brother Rengui, you still have to work hard these days, hurry up and drive the kite out, and this shoulder, this small crossbow, break the spirit army, let's enter Chen You, I will let you drink wine for a month." After speaking, he leaned in Guo Rengui's ear and said, "Find a few more chicks for you to play with." ”
After hearing this, Guo Rengui raised his eyebrows and said, "This is true, don't lie to me." Li Xiao said: "There is no joke in the army. Guo Rengui laughed wildly and left.
Runfeng looked at Li Xiao and asked, "What did the general say to Mr. Guo, he was so happy?" Li Xiao just smiled and didn't answer.
