Chapter 3 Handsome Tent
The silver moon is like a hook, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled on the wild Gobi in the northwest.
Tens of thousands of black armor camped on the Gobi Desert, and the lights stretched to the end of the sky, and the military flag hunting in front of the tent could be seen in the distance.
In the handsome tent in the middle of the camp of the Xiliang Army, Xu Buling changed into an ordinary white robe, stood in front of the map, and discussed the situation just now with many generals, and the nightingale sat at the desk as a secretary, recording the minutes of the meeting.
According to the rules, in wartime, 'the armor does not leave the general's body, and the saddle does not leave the horse', and the coach should be even more so. However, for the martial artists of Xu Buling's realm, the armor only has a little effect when the parade is cool, and when it comes to a real fight, the armor can be dodged, and the armor can be avoided.
Except for Xu Buling, Nightingale and Military Master Yue Jiulou, Tu Qianchu and Yang Zunyi who were present were all wearing black armor, and the shoulder pads on both sides were in the shape of tiger heads, which was a unique symbol of the Xiliang Army. There are also four people who are the 'Four King Kongs' under Yang Zunyi - Yang Guanyu, Zhang He, Liu Yun, and Xu Ying.
These four people are all the leaders of the younger generation in the Xiliang Army. Yang Guanyu is the son of Yang Zunyi, nicknamed 'the second fool', and Xu Buling, he was thrown into the border army in his early tens, eating and living with the soldiers. Although Yang Guanyu's combat power is not as terrifying as Xu Buling, his skills are definitely not bad, and he is also a first-class fierce man in the army, with a figure similar to a polar bear, and he is a head taller than Xu Buling.
Zhang He and Liu Yun are also the sons of the Xiliang generals, and their ancestors followed the general Xu Lie to fight the world when the country was founded. Although the two of them were born in a family of generals, they did not have the kind of unlearned and unskilled second ancestors, whether it was the art of war or personal bravery, they were the top among the younger generation, but they had not experienced a major war before, and this time the battle was pulled out by their parents and trained with Xu Buling.
Among the four people, Xu Ying is from the bottom, tall and dark-skinned, and he definitely doesn't look as imposing as the few people who have been in the top position for a long time, but he is only thirty years old and can survive this position, and he must be the fiercest of the four.
Last time, King Su led his army out of Qinzhou to attack the North Qi and looked at the South Pass, and it was Xu Ying who was the vanguard, leading a thousand elite cavalry to go deep into the enemy's belly to intercept reinforcements; As a result, Xu Ying's gang took a thousand people to the city of Yuanzhou, and rampaged in the hinterland of the Qi army, causing restlessness around Yuanzhou City; King Su was able to kill under the city of Yuanzhou so quickly, thanks to Xu Ying's bravery, and after the war, he directly promoted Xu Ying to his current position, and also mixed up the nickname of 'greedy wolf'.
Xu Buling admires Xu Ying the most for these peers. Xu Buling Meng is a single person who pierces the sky, and anyone who pinched it is a soft persimmon, and it is not possible to be fierce. And Xu Ying is really ruthless, she doesn't take her life seriously at all, she is very capable of fighting, but her intelligence is not low, she can be described as brave and strategic. Before leaving, even King Su told Xu Buling, don't use people to give Xu Ying away for nothing, which shows how heavy King Su is on him.
At this time, what several people discussed was the matter of the king of Chu falling to the three kings of the east.
The opposition of the king of Chu must have had a great impact, without the king of Chu, the Xiliang army can basically only rely on the government soldiers pulled from Guanzhong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a lonely army.
However, before sending troops, Xiao Qi had already guessed the next movements and the reactions of various forces, and also gave countermeasures. At this point, it seems that there is basically nothing wrong with the last resort, and there is nothing to discuss.
After Xu Buling learned about the recent movements, he dispersed the meeting, let the seven people go back to the military tent to rest, and speed up the march to Guanzhong tomorrow.
The discipline of the Xiliang army is strict, and there is no noise in the camp, only the occasional black-armored sergeant patrols back and forth, and the clatter of the armor rubs against it.
Outside the handsome tent with the lights burning, two 'guards' in light armor stood at the entrance of the tent with waist knives, their posture was tall and tall, and they looked heroic, the only drawback was that they were much thinner than the rough men of the Xiliang Army, and their chest muscles were more developed than ordinary men.
Many generals walked out of the tent, Ning Qingye and Ning Yu did not squint, and after the generals walked away, they relaxed a little, and looked at the moon in the sky a little boringly.
After all, the most useless thing in this world is probably Xu Buling's guard.
Ning Qingye followed Xu Buling on the expedition, and unlike Zhong Lijiu, who knew medical skills and could be the military doctor of the prince, he naturally had the name of a personal soldier. Originally, it was okay to let Ning Qing stay in the tent at night, and there was no need to really stand guard. But Ning Qingye has a straightforward personality, and he is in his position, and he doesn't want to do anything with his money, so he will stand here seriously every day until Chu Chu comes over to change the guard.
Ning Yuhe was fine staying in the military tent, and there was nothing wrong with being able to get closer to Xu Buling, so he naturally followed.
Seeing that the negotiation was over and the military tent was quiet, Ning Yuhe secretly glanced behind him, probably wanting to comfort his apprentice who had been busy all day, and said softly:
"Early in the night, it's not early, you go down and rest, I'll help you stand."
Ning Qingye's posture was straight, he calculated the time, and there was still a while before the shift change, and he shook his head and said:
"Master, you don't have to accompany me, just go down and rest."
Seeing this, Ning Yuhe had no choice but to dispel the idea of waiting for Xu Buling, and said with a smile:
"Then I'll go back first, and you can rest early."
"Master, don't worry, when the time comes, I will go back to rest."
Ning Yuhe nodded slightly and left slowly.
Ning Qingye's expression was unwavering, and he watched the master walk away, until the figure disappeared into the military tent, then he blinked, quietly glanced back, and then coughed lightly.
"Ahemβ"
In the handsome tent, Xu Buling, who was looking at the file, raised his eyes when he heard the voice:
"Come in."
Ning Qingye glanced left and right a few times, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he turned around and entered the handsome tent.
The makeshift handsome tent is a place where Xu Buling usually holds meetings and rests, which is not luxurious, but the identity of the prince of the vassal is not shabby. On the side hung a weapon rack, on which horses, lances, knives, guns, and swords were hung, and a set of black armor was placed next to it. Behind the screen is a bed, with several small cases on both sides, and the map is placed in the middle.
The nightingale was already busy with her work, and she was moving her muscles in the handsome tent, when she saw Ning Qingye coming in, she walked outside with great eyes:
"Childe, I'll go boil some water."
Xu Buling put down the file and said with a smile: "Qingye, is there something wrong?" β
Ning Qingye was wearing light armor, but he was tall and straight, his face was even more delicate, and he looked undiminished, and he also added a bit of heroism that did not allow women to shave their eyebrows. She walked up to Xu Buling and said in a calm tone:
"Didn't bother you with your business, did you?"
"No, it's done."
Xu Buling sat down next to him and patted the position next to him: "Come and sit down." β
Ning Qingye didn't move, standing in front of the table, his hand still holding the handle of the knife, his eyes narrowed slightly:
"What? Want to practice Tai Chi pushers with me again? β
Xu Buling nodded: "Yes, I have been learning Tai Chi recently, and there is a key to 'connecting, transforming, and hairing', which I have never been able to understand, you just happened to tell me." β
