Chapter 19 Effectiveness in the Army

In the dense forest and bamboo cultivation at the foot of Longshan, in order to reassure the army, Lu Zheng had already sent someone to ride a fast horse to inform the grain team that it was approaching the Weizhou military camp, and after receiving the news in the Weizhou military camp, Wang Hui ordered to send hundreds of cavalry to respond.

At this time, the imperial court also sent a batch of grain, and also sent Ni Ruoshui, a scholar from Zhongshushe, Xue Ne and other generals have been waiting outside the gate, after seeing Ni Ruoshui from a distance, Xue Ne hurriedly stepped forward and said: Ni She people are here with the emperor's order, and the handsome man is far away. ”

Ni Ruoshui gasped and said, "General Xue is good...... How's the war going? ”

Xue Ne said: "Tubo was menacing before, but now with the cooperation of several of us, it is already at the end of the road. However, I also invited Ni Sheren to enter the big tent to talk about it. ”

Ni Ruoshui saw that Xue Ne and the others were gracious, so he moved into the big tent, Ni Ruoshui just sat down and glanced at the generals, after a few days of marching and fighting, he seemed to be a little tired, but he still insisted on the posture of a general, and he straightened up.

Without waiting for Ni Ruoshui's words, Xue Ne clarified the truth that this battle was already dawning, and he stood up and explained to the sand table the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield, and Ni Ruoshui also listened deeply.

However, although these words were good, Ni Ruoshui knew about the lack of food in this army, so he said: "Although General Xue's plan is good, he has repeatedly failed to seize the opportunity to fight the enemy. This court is already boiling over this matter, so this time the food is sufficient, and General Xue still wants to eliminate the enemy as soon as possible. ”

The words about purging the enemy, but Xue Ne couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, these days, the encouragement of the soldiers all day long can not even satisfy a mouthful of hot food, how can the battle be won, so now that this food has arrived, it should be for all the soldiers to feast.

At this time, Ni Ruoshui saw that Xue Ne was undecided, and thought about it, and said, "What did General Xue think of?" ”

When the words landed, Xue Ne suddenly sobered up, and Guo Zhiyun next to him said: "Ni Sheren doesn't know that General Xue has also broken his heart in the past few days, although several of us are responsible for the affairs in this army, but in the final analysis, General Xue has worked a lot." ”

"Yes, General Xue is already full of sorrow because of the lack of military food, you see that there is more silver hair."

As Guo Zhiyun's words stopped, Wang Haibin also said in a voice, and Wang Hui also nodded by default, among these generals, he and Xue Ne were the oldest, and Guo Zhiyun, An Sishun and Wang Haibin were all middle-aged.

After hearing this, Xue Ne smiled and said: "It is natural common sense that all hair is white, and it is my duty to work hard for the army." ”

"Now that the food has arrived, when will the food be distributed to the soldiers, I think it is time to use this to boost the morale of the army."

As soon as An Sishun finished speaking, Xue Ne nodded and said, "Each person will carry ten days' rations, and tomorrow they will go west for a hundred miles to annihilate the enemy in this wilderness." ”

Xue Ne's tone was very heavy, Ni Ruoshui could see Xue Ne's desire to win, and he could also see his resolute temperament, when Xue Ne's words were finished, the generals in the seat all responded, and Ni Ruoshui also nodded to show his praise. Naturally, he can't see much of what is going on in this army, but the whole army is full of insight.

At this time, Wang Hui looked out of the tent, the wind blew the tent overturned, if there was no decisive battle, then when the cold winter came, the climate changed, the snow covered the ground, the bowstring was difficult, and the battle would be sluggish.

And Wang Hui didn't see Lu Zheng's arrival for a long time, and the cavalry that had been sent out didn't come back to report the news, Wang Hui stood up at this time and walked towards the outside of the camp tent, and after walking out, he stood up and looked at the Yuanmen, and there was almost no dust in the mountains in the vast distance.

The soldier next to him looked at it and said, "It's windy here, please General Wang don't have to be so insistent, let's go back inside and wait." ”

Wang Hui said: "I'm idle, so I want to stand here for a while, and wait for Lu Zheng's grain team by the way." ”

When the soldiers saw that Wang Hui insisted on waiting, they brought a wooden bench and let Wang Hui sit, but Wang Hui's ears were swirling winds, turning his beard, and even his eyes saw that the ridgeline in the distance was blurred.

Wang Hui felt the coolness, and at this time a soldier said, "There seems to be the sound of horses' hooves." ”

The soldiers guarding the gate gradually surrounded them, all watching the sound getting closer and closer in the distance, and suddenly a few horses galloped over, and Wang Hui could see that this was the cavalry sent out.

Then he heard them cry out, "Here comes the bread again." ”

Then the sound of the wheels behind him was real, Wang Hui saw Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng sat on the side of the carriage, and after seeing Wang Hui, he ran straight up, knelt down on one knee and said: "I live up to General Wang's trust, and finally transported these fifty carts of grain to the slightest." ”

Wang Hui didn't sit down and talk with Lu Zheng for a long time, and after helping Lu Zheng up, he said as he walked: "You don't have any obstacles along the way, right?" ”

Lu Zheng replied: "It's nothing to drive in the city, but when I pass through the countryside, there are some troubles among the people. ”

Wang Hui looked back at Lu Zheng and wondered, "Since they are chaotic people, do you know where these people come from?" What grievances are there behind it that led to becoming a bandit? ”

"I don't care too much about this, but I think there are a lot of people who are worthy of pity in this wasteland, just take those chaotic people who are forced by life, it can be seen that the time of this river Qinghai Yan has not yet come, and on the way to transport grain, I have some feelings."

Wang Hui didn't say anything after hearing this, and Lu Zheng said: "I don't know how the war is going now?" ”

Wang Hui said: "What else, this Tubo does not concentrate its strength, but wanders around and bites wildly, so it takes a long time, but it can't produce results." However, with these grains and grasses, our army is extremely confident in finding an opportunity to fight. Now the Holy Lord has sent Ni Ruoshui, a scholar from Zhongshushe, and this Ni She has also brought some grain and grass to be with you for a day, so it seems that my Tang Army is the most vulnerable time to fight. ”

When Lu Zheng entered the big tent, he saw the general in the middle position, and knew that this was Xue Ne, so he knelt down on one knee and said: "I have seen Xue Shuai in Xia, and this time I brought fifty carts of grain and grass for military supplies." ”

Xue Ne saw Lu Zheng and said: "You are Wang Hui's subordinate, and now you are serving in the army, and General Wang has found an errand for you in the army, what do you think?" ”

Lu Zheng said: "Naturally, I will wait for the general's arrangement." ”

"It's a matter of secretly investigating the enemy's situation, are you willing to do it?"

Lu Zheng is actually resistant to these, he originally wanted to be a pioneer in the army, but since Wang Hui also said that the movement of Tubo is unpredictable, as long as he finds the enemy's movement, it is also a great achievement. And this is also in line with Wang Hui's expectation, after all, he feels that the whole army is confused, and if he can seize this opportunity, it will also be a long face for Wang Hui.

So he nodded very happily and agreed, and Xue Ne said: "Since you want to do it yourself, how much does it take to entourage?" ”

Lu Zheng didn't think too much about it, and said, "It only takes more than ten rides." ”

An Sishun was speechless when he saw the generals, and hurriedly asked: "Is Brother Lu Zheng's words a little exaggerated, only more than ten horses, if you run into the Tubo army, do you have a way?" ”

Lu Zheng knew that he was asking himself what his strategy was, so he said: "My duty is to know the location of Tubo, even if I encounter an enemy army, I should fight my way out of the encirclement and report to the army." ”
