Chapter 166: The Snow Has Melted (3)
A few days passed.
The thick snow gradually disappeared, and a touch of green burst out, and life sprinkled the land in an instant.
Not a few days.
The original sporadic vitality began to interpret the magic of nature, and almost in the blink of an eye, it was sprinkled all over the earth.
A few more days.
April fragrant, peach blossoms. The familiar, hot and dry breath began to brew again. Really......
The neck of spring is short!
It's so short that you can't feel the neck at all, just a smoke, and then it passes......
On this day, after Gongsun Du ordered the soldiers in the battalion to conduct routine training, he rushed back to Xiangping with Yangyi and other personal soldiers.
As soon as he entered the city, Gongsun Du saw Wei Yu waiting here, and couldn't help asking, "Have you arrived?" ”
"It's all here." Wei You nodded back.
Gongsun Du saw that he had a hesitant look on his face, and knew what he was thinking, but he pretended not to know, and said: "Qingping, if you have anything to say, do you still blame you?" ”
"The Lord forgives sins!" Wei Yu saluted, and then said, "Lord, is this battle necessary?" ”
Gongsun Du said secretly, shook his head slightly, and said: "Qingping, you must know that this is not something we can choose, the choice lies with Xianbei, not us." They are coming, and whether we can fight or not, we will have to fight, and we will have to fight to the death. ”
It's not that Wei You doesn't understand this truth, but when it hasn't come yet, there is always luck in his heart. It's not fear, it's not cowardice, it's really been suffering from aliens for a long time!
"Whew!" Wei You exhaled, and all the worries that had existed in his heart disappeared.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates are too worried." Wei You first apologized, and then said, "Even if Xianbei attacks at this time, it doesn't matter. The subordinates have been prepared according to the instructions of the lord. ”
Gongsun Du couldn't help but be stunned, and then praised it: "It's very good, although I have doubts, I don't forget the possibility of what happens." ”
Wei Yu smiled and said, "It's all the lord's wisdom." ”
Gongsun Du didn't reply, just nodded. He has experienced three lives, but he knows that from ancient times to the present, to the next generation, for two thousand years, there is still no shortage of people who have his thoughts, so they make bad moves, and they suffer a big defeat.
The so-called bad behavior is naturally laziness and failure to complete the task according to the order.
The time to enter the county guard mansion was just right, and it was lunch time.
When I walked into the dining room, I found that everyone straightened their waists one by one, and they didn't speak, like sculptures, with a smile on their faces, and said, "Everyone, don't wait, eat!" ”
"Lord!"
The crowd hurriedly stood up and saluted.
……
The lunch that was a little joyful at the beginning was used up, and he moved to the main hall under the leadership of Gongsun Du.
Entering the main hall, Gongsun Dugao sat on the head, and Xu Rong and others sat on the left and right sides.
Gongsun Du looked at everyone's seats, didn't say anything, his face was straight, and he went straight to business: "Everyone, Tanshi Huai has begun to gather troops, and the big war is coming." Now that you have not made contact with the Imperial Court, can you be confident that you will repel the invading enemy? ”
"Fight to the death!" The generals shouted in unison.
Then, Liu Yi asked: "Lord, now that winter has just passed, the grass is new, the cattle and sheep have not yet been fattened, and the war horses have not yet been fattened, why did they rush south?" ”
"You'll know the purpose of the sandalwood locust later."
Gongsun Du recalled the sandalwood locust in his memory, if he hadn't died early, maybe Xianbei would have invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, instead of just taking Shanggu, Yanmen and other border counties, and then he was beaten back.
The death of the sandalwood locust, if it is not ......
Gongsun Du said perfunctorily, did not give Liu Yi and the others another chance to ask, turned his head to look at Cheng Pu, and said, "Demou, how is the water army?" ”
The words of the century-old navy are not a joke, although there is a big gap between the current navy and the navy, but it will also take a lot of time. When Cheng Pu heard the question, his face couldn't help but be bitter, but fortunately, he had expected it before he came, and he was not afraid, but his confidence was a little lacking.
"Lord Qiqi, after months of training, the sailor is no problem sailing, if you want to fight, I'm afraid it will be ......," Cheng Pu shook his head.
Gongsun Du also understood the reason and did not blame Cheng Pu. After all, Liaoshui has frozen in winter, and now the river has just thawed. If it weren't for Gongsun Du sending the built battleship to the mouth of Liaoshui early in the morning, normal training would be difficult. There are too few people in the north who know how to water, and it took a lot of time just to restrain seasickness.
"As long as you can sail normally." Gongsun Du nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "What is the difference between the sea and the river?" ”
"It's a lot of wind, especially sometimes, it's so big that it's hard to train." Cheng Pu replied.
"The new battleship built in the Liao Army will be launched in a few days, and it should be much better by then." Gongsun Du said, Xiang Yangyi gestured, and after he handed a map to Cheng Pu, he continued, "After you are familiar with the new warship, immediately follow the route marked on the map and go south to Donglai, where someone from the Mi family will pick you up." Then no matter whether the Mi family gives you grain and grass, or people, bring them all back. Do you understand? ”
Bringing someone back? Going to Dongnai? From the sea? Cheng Pu was a little stunned, this sea training has been some time, but he has never dared to go to the sea, usually within a few miles of the sea, this ......
"Having trouble?" Gongsun Du frowned and asked.
Cheng Pu returned to his senses and said busily: "Yes, lord, subordinates obey orders." It seems that the promise was hasty, but firstly, he is a subordinate, and secondly, he believes that Gongsun Du does not want him to be sent to death, otherwise it would be better to kill him directly, and he would not have to lose more than ten warships.
"Hmm." Gongsun Du was a little uneasy, and said, "There is no need for inland rivers at sea, you must be cautious, you can stick to the sea, and send more small boats to explore whether there are reefs hidden under the sea surface to avoid hitting the reef." ”
"In addition, when you get to the territory of Donglai, try not to reveal your identity."
Hearing this, Cheng Pu was even more relieved: "Yes, lord." ”
Subsequently, Gongsun Du's eyes fell on the closest to Xianbei, the guard of Houcheng, Huang Zhong.
"Han Sheng, how is the urn city in Houcheng repaired?"
Huang Zhong's complexion was originally quite normal, but when he heard this, he changed instantly, and said with a wry smile: "Lord, you also know that last year's ......"
"Okay, don't complain. A certain knew that because of the cold weather, he continued to repair the urn city, but the captives ran a lot, and it happened to be snowing again, so he stopped. Gongsun Du knew what he was going to say, so he stopped it directly.
"But it's been half a month since the snow melted, right?"
"Uh~" Huang Zhong said in amazement, "But Master Hu Zi is not here!" ”
"Huh?" Gongsun Du was dumbfounded and said, "What about Hu Ziren?" ”
Xu Rong said: "It seems to be in the city." ”
"In the city?" Gongsun Du muttered suspiciously, and then he understood, and said, "What do you mean he came here?" ”
"It seems that the last few days are Hu Daru's birthday." Xu Rong knows a lot.
Gongsun Du didn't know about it, but it wasn't impossible, and it was a very moment, and it was normal that everyone was not invited.
Gongsun Du didn't blame Hu Zi for his thoughts, so he stopped talking about him: "How long will it take to complete the construction?" ”
"Half a month at most." Huang Zhong replied.
"Half a moon?" Gongsun Du frowned.
The news of Tanshi Huai's gathering of troops was transmitted back five days ago, counting the time of hurrying, almost seven days have passed, and according to the speed of Xianbei's gathering of troops, it should be between half a month and a month.
Gongsun Du let out a sigh of relief and said secretly: It's okay, there is enough time.
