Section 27 Traveling with the army
At the beginning of May of the first year of Xingping, the flying locusts finally crossed Laoshan Mountain and invaded Donglai. Although the previous notice on locust prevention and extermination has been issued to all counties in Donglai. But in the face of the locusts that covered the sky and sounded like wind and rain, many people were still so frightened that they didn't know what to do. Buqi County, which bore the brunt of the attack, sent a distress letter to the county government overnight on the day the locusts came to the county. And Cai Ji, who received the distress letter, also led his troops to the hard-hit area with Tai Shici as she promised before.
Although Cai Ji still asked Zhang Qing and Lily of the Valley to stay in Huang County, only Li Dana accompanied him. However, unlike the leisurely time I went to Xuzhou last time, this disaster relief is a 100,000 urgent matter. Therefore, Cai Ji gave up the comfortable carriage and chose to ride a horse with Tai Shici and others. In fact, as long as people have hands, feet, and courage, they are all people who can ride horses. But the difference is in how to ride better. Therefore, after more than a month of training by Zhang Qing, although Cai Ji's riding skills are not superb, he can barely keep up with the team. Of course, there is also a reason why Tai Shici deliberately slowed down the march.
But even so, after rushing this day, Cai Ji was still tired and had back pain and cramps in his legs. Taking advantage of Li Da's interval when he went to the river to walk his horse, Cai Ji sat alone in the camp rubbing his shoulders and knocking his legs. But I didn't want to look up and see Tai Shi Ci walking towards her and beckoning to her, Xiaofujun, are you okay? No Fiction Network Lots of Words"
"It's ok. It's just that the first horse that is so long is a little unaccustomed. Cai Ji said and deliberately stood up and jumped twice to show that he was really fine.
However, Cai Ji's move was a little childish in Tai Shici's eyes. So he immediately quipped: Xiaofujun's riding skills are not. Just a few more days to get used to it. ”
“? How many days to go? When Cai Ji heard that such a day would have to pass for several days, his face immediately collapsed.
Seeing that Cai Ji believed it so lightly, Tai Shici couldn't help laughing heartily and replied, "After tonight, it's only two days away." ”
Cai Ji, who didn't expect Tai Shi Ci to be joking, had to smile helplessly when he heard this answer. The map of the Eastern Han Dynasty does not have a scale, and Cai Ji only knows from the legend on the map that it is necessary to cross the entire Donglai County from Huangxian to Buqi County, so he thinks that the distance will be very long. But even if it's only two days away, Cai Ji still lowered his head and said worriedly, "Even if it's only two days away." I'm afraid it will be too late by the time we get to the county. ”
"Xiaofujun is not discouraged. As long as we arrive in Buqi County, we will fulfill our previous promise. Even if there is no help by then, I believe that the people will understand the sincerity of Xiaofujun. Tai Shi Ci encouraged Cai Ji.
Ji didn't care what the people thought. I just don't want to lose to Providence. Cai Ji couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly when he said this.
Cai Ji stood alone and said that he didn't want to lose to Providence, and in Tai Shici's eyes, he suddenly overlapped with Cai Ji's appearance in the study that day when he said that he wanted to revive the Han Dynasty. In fact, at that time, Tai Shici was ready to take refuge with Liu Xuan. But for some reason, I stayed because of a few words from this girl. Now that I think about it, in addition to the feelings for my hometown, I am afraid that the curiosity about the woman Cai Ji was also one of them. This is a woman who is sometimes old, sometimes bold, sometimes loyal, and sometimes a little cunning. Tai Shi Ci couldn't find the words to describe her, and at the same time, she couldn't find a similar woman from the history books. Will this little mansion gentleman go to the point? To be honest, Tai Shi Ci was very interested in this. Of course, the premise is that what Cai Ji does must really be for the sake of Donglai.
However, just as Tai Shici sighed in his heart about Cai Ji's unpredictability, Cai Ji took the lead in turning back to his senses and looked up and asked, alas? General Taishi is looking for Ji to have something to do, don't skip words.
Tai Shici was naturally relieved of Cai Ji's question. So he restrained his mind and cut to the point, "Ci wants to introduce two tiger generals to Xiaofujun." ”
After saying that, Tai Shici led the two young people who followed him forward and introduced Xiaofujun to Cai Ji, these two were the newly enlisted Jiaodong Wenrui and the Muping Tang Ying. ”
It is said that those who practice martial arts are refreshing. As soon as Tai Shici's words fell, one of the tall, thick-eyed and big-eyed men took the lead in saying to Cai Ji a fist hug Jiaodong Wenrui, the word Gushan. I've seen Xiaofujun. ”
And another man with a slightly shorter head and a dark-faced face also followed Tang Ying, a person from Mu Ping, who hugged his fist, and the word Shanwei. I've seen Xiaofujun. ”
Since she went to Xuzhou, Cai Ji has encountered all the things that others have dug into her corners. At this moment, two generals were automatically sent to the door, even if the other party did not leave a name in history, it still made Cai Ji happy. I saw her stepping forward and grabbing the sleeves of the two people, and said excitedly: It is really a blessing for Donglai to have the help of two strong men. ”
Tai Shi Ci saw that Cai Ji was so happy that he got carried away with the second general, and he was also pleased to add that Dao Gushan had a gun and a stick, and Shan Wei was good at riding and shooting. ”
"Really handsome!" After Cai Ji sighed heartily, he turned back to Tai Shi Ci and asked, "General Tai Shi, I don't know what positions these two hold in the army now?" ”
"Gushan and Shanwei are now military marquises." Tai Shi Ci replied.
"Marquis? Ah, how can two talents succumb to the position of military marquis. Why don't you temporarily serve as a military commander. Cai Ji was extremely generous and promoted the two young people in front of him. And this is the only reward she can get her hands on right now.
However, Tang Ying, who seemed to have a calm personality, resigned to Cai Ji at this time and said Xiaofujun, Tang has not made an inch of merit now, and he is ashamed of this position of Sima. ”
"Rui can't do this either. Rui wants to make real military achievements. Wen Rui, whose surname is Wen, but who is not literary at all, also excused himself.
Tai Shi Ci knew that Cai Ji was doing this to attract talents. However, considering the current size of the army in Donglai County, he also felt that it was not appropriate to add two more military commanders. So Tai Shici followed and said, yes. Young people still need to be trained in the army. ”
However, Cai Ji shook his head with a disapproving smile and said, "You can't say that." As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find. After surviving this locust plague, Donglai County will expand its army again. At that time, it will not be troublesome to have soldiers but no one to lead them. If the two of them feel that their current military merits are not enough to be promoted to the position of military commander. Wouldn't it be deserved to make achievements on the battlefield in the future? ”
Wen Rui and Tang Ying are only twenty years old, which is the age when the blood and qi are in a hurry to make contributions. Hearing Cai Jidu say that he naturally no longer shirked his resignation, he immediately happily accepted the post of military commander. At the same time, the two also felt that although Cai Ji looked young, he was not talented, and he was generous and kind. I really didn't choose a place to take refuge in Donglai County.
As for Tai Shi Ci, seeing that Cai Ji won the favor of the newcomer when he met for the first time, he deliberately did not wear Cai Ji's female identity. With Tai Shici's deliberate concealment, Wen Rui and Tang Ying also took it for granted that Cai Ji was a boy who had not yet developed. In addition, Cai Ji has always been a person. So, the four of them sat around and chatted. Since they are in the camp at the moment, the content of everyone's conversation is naturally inseparable from the war with the army.
It is said that when Cai Ji studied history in the last life, many characters in the late Han Dynasty were not as described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and literature is literature, and martial arts are martial arts. In this era, there are talents who are Yunwen Yunwu. Just like Tai Shi Ci in front of him, he once played Cao Shi. And the famous flying general Lu Bu was originally the master of Ding Yuan's side. Therefore, Tai Shici and Lu Bu's copywriting must be better than Cai Ji's. And on the premise of not plagiarizing the masterpieces of later generations, the poetry level of the two of them should be higher than Cai Ji. It must be known that Cai Ji can't even figure it out at the moment, how can he write a copy that makes people in this era read smoothly at such a level. Therefore, Cai Ji has not interfered in government affairs since he took over as Donglai Taishou, and to put it bluntly, he still doesn't want to be embarrassed before he learns to write copywriting.
But even if the text is not successful, isn't it a true portrayal of Cai Ji at the moment. But fortunately, she still has a sharp mouth and a thousand years more knowledge than the people of this era. Just like at this moment, although Cai Ji has not read the art of war, he is studying history, and his understanding of some battles in history is no less than that of the three big men in front of him. Therefore, the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
No, Tai Shi Ci saw that Cai Ji had a lot of battles in history, and he blurted out new ideas every time. I can't help but sigh in my heart that this woman is indeed extraordinary. But I heard him sincerely praise that Xiaofujun was so knowledgeable at a young age. It's really admirable. ”
"General Taishi has won the award. Ji just likes to go to his uncle's house to read idle books when he is in his hometown. Cai Ji humbly waved his hand.
"Xiaofujun is called Cizi, and righteousness will be done." After these days of contact, Tai Shici has already regarded Cai Ji as a small one, and his words are a little casual, "But treating history books as idle books, Xiaofujun is really unique." ”
"Naji is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." can be called a brother and a brother with Tai Shici, Cai Ji naturally changed his words from a kind voice, "Brother Ziyi, you can't say that." In fact, history books and idle books are all determined by the state of mind of the reader. Ruoji still stays in the deep courtyard of his hometown at the moment to read and pass the time, and the history books are idle books. But in this troubled era, Ji is the head of a county, and I am afraid that even reading the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can realize that history is a mirror. ”
"Haha, Xiaofujun is really witty." Tai Shi Ci stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this, and thought so.
At this time, Li Da led Cai Ji's mount back to the camp. Seeing that Li Da, who saw two men suddenly appear next to Xiaofujun in addition to Tai Shici, subconsciously glanced at Wen Rui and Tang Ying vigilantly, and then saluted Cai Ji and said to the little lord, and the scarlet clouds were fed. ”
Scarlet Cloud is the name given to Cai Jiwei's mount. At this moment, seeing Li Da holding the scarlet clouds, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Xiang Wenrui and Tang Ying. Cai Ji guessed a little bit of Li Da's thoughts. So she immediately got up and introduced Li Da to the two of Wentang and Dao Gushan and Shanwei, which were Ji's bodyguards Li Da. Don't look at his age. When he was in Xiaopei, he competed with Zhang Yide. ”
As soon as Wen Rui and Tang Ying heard that Li Da had fought with Zhang Fei, they were immediately impressed. saw that both of them got up and saluted Li Da and introduced themselves. And Li Da is not a superficial person, and after returning the gift, he explained that the little lord had won the award. It was just General Zhang and Da joking. Can't count. ”
"It's just a joke. It is also a blessing to have Zhang Yide's order. Tai Shici also stood up as he spoke. However, he turned his gaze to the two small objects hanging on the Scarlet Cloud saddle and asked, "Xiaofujun, what is this?" ”
Cai Ji saw that Tai Shici noticed the small invention he brought, and couldn't help but introduce that this was a stirrup made by Ji Ren. ”
"Stirrups?"
This time, even Wen Rui and Tang Ying were also interested. So Cai Ji explained to a cadre more diligently, when Dao Ji first learned equestrianism, he would always be mixed with his feet by the leg belt every time he got off the horse. I thought that this leg strap was soft and easy to hook the foot. If, in the process of galloping, Ji unfortunately fell off the horse, but his feet were still trapped in the saddle by the leg belt, wouldn't he be dragged to death by the horse. In addition, Ji is short and has not learned the skills of flying on a horse. Every time you get on and off the horse, you have to rely on the horse stone to step on the foot, which is also very troublesome. So Ji thought it would be good if the place where the leg strap was stepped on was hard. This makes it easier for Yoshito pull his feet away at any time, and Raichi can also step on this hard-legged belt to mount the horse. Therefore, Ji had people build this instrument out of iron according to this idea, and named it stirrups. ”
The leg strap in Cai Ji's mouth is the prototype of a ** stirrup in this era. That is, tie a cloth belt, belt or other leg belt on the saddle so that the foot has a place to step on. In this way, the balance can be better maintained, so that the horse will not fall off when galloping rapidly, and the flexibility of the body and the power of wielding the weapon can be better maintained in battle. However, as Cai Ji said, the use of this leg belt is more demanding on the rider's own riding skills. Therefore, Cai Ji, who is a relatively good rider, naturally thinks of the metal stirrups of later generations. However, Cai Ji had never ridden a horse in his previous life, nor had he seen a real stirrup. So I had to draw a rough appearance according to the vague impression, and asked Zhang Qing to find someone to create such an iron stirrup. It's just that Cai Ji went to Xuzhou before and didn't ride a horse, so this iron stirrup, which may be the world's first, has not really come in handy until today.
Although it is only an impression product, Cai Ji's iron stirrup is still a treasure in the eyes of Tai Shici and others. But seeing Tai Shi Ci looking at the stirrup, he turned around and said with a smile, "It's really a sharp weapon." It seems that the small mansion is private. ”
Cai Ji couldn't help but say that Ji was only trying this thing for the first time, and it was not easy to use. So I didn't dare to announce it to you. ”
Cai Ji's words were not polite. After all, she really wasn't sure if it was an authentic stirrup. But Tai Shi Ci didn't care about this. He took a fancy to Cai Ji's thoughts, but he listened to his thoughts about Xiaofujun. As for the stirrups. It is possible to make the part of the foot flat and step on it. ”
"yes. The all-iron stirrup is a little heavier. It can be replaced by a wooden core and copper or iron wrapping. Tang Ying on the side echoed.
Cai Ji saw that everyone accepted this iron stirrup, and thought to himself that it seemed to be really a copycat. So she immediately clenched her fists and said loudly! After returning to Huang County, Ji will make improvements according to what the two said. After making a new stirrup, Ji will send a pair of people to the gentlemen for trial. ”
"Xiaofujun, what about Rui?" Wen Rui, who did not raise an opinion, said anxiously.
"The listener has a share." Cai Ji turned around and replied cheerfully. The crowd burst into laughter.
And after such an episode, Cai Ji initially won the favor of the two young generals, Wen Rui and Tang Ying. In the next two days, Cai Ji got to know him again, and the two of them got acquainted with many young brave men in the army. The name of a small Cai Fujun has finally taken root in the hearts of the new army in Donglai.
