The generals outside and their families heard this general scolding his family members like this, and they all followed suit.

If any family member of the generation cries and complains about hard work, he will be reprimanded by these generals.

These generals stayed in the barracks for a long time, and their rough and loud voices naturally frightened those delicate family members.

However, some of the family members led by the daughters of the Zhao family, because the men in the family have been in the army for a long time, it is inevitable that they will also be affected.

They didn't feel the toil, and the market mingled with the soldiers below. He has earned a good reputation in the army for his own men.

The next day, the soldiers got up earlier than before, the weather was very hot, and only by taking advantage of the cool time in the morning could they reach Cangzhou as soon as possible.

Only in Cangzhou can they be spared the heat.

Today, the sun is still very hot, roasting the earth, and the surrounding trees are too lazy to even crow cicadas, lying on the branches of the trees.

The soldiers were dizzy from the sun's rays and lay down in twos and threes. Supporting each other and moving forward.

Some of the more physically fit soldiers carried the bags of those who were about to faint on their backs.

The waist that was already bent is now even more bent.

Tears continued to drip from his forehead, and the hair under the soldier's helmet was already wet with sweat and clung to his scalp.

The clothes on his body were already soaked, dripping with water.

Yesterday the soldiers persevered and walked down, although some fainted, but it was only a very rare phenomenon.

But today, the soldiers, who were already on the verge of collapse, couldn't hold back any longer, and fell one after another.

The officers gave up their horses and let the fainting soldiers ride on their horses.

The cavalry did the same.

The cavalry led by Xie Xuan, because of the hard training before, was already extremely physical, so they were naturally not afraid of the scorching heat.

The cavalrymen all gave up their horses to the weakened soldiers.

Although the scorching heat is unbearable, the comradeship in the scorching heat makes them much closer to each other.

Zhao Changqing looked at the soldiers who fainted one after another, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"General Chu, when we go to comfort the soldiers in a while, we will stop by to take a trip to the Huotou Army."

"General Zhao, go to the Huotou Army and tell them to cook more things to cool off the heat."

"Yes, there is also a need for the military doctor to prescribe some medicine to relieve the heat, put it in those meals, this summer, the heat will also spread."

Wushuang hadn't seen the fainting soldiers in the army, and he was also distressed.

"General, it hasn't rained, and the soldiers can't stand it, seeing that there are still more than ten days to go from Cangzhou, it's already like this, should we find a place to stop and repair?"

"You have a point, let's see if we can find a good place today? Let us fix it, and if you can, you will announce the decision. ”

Wushuang knew that it was to make him gain a good impression in the army, although he successfully became a general in the army because of the ant group, but because Zhao Changxin had been in the army for more than ten years, he had established his deep majesty.

And he has just arrived in the barracks, and when he first arrives, he should still have his own deeds.

"Thank you, grandfather, Wushuang knows."

Zhao Changqing heard Wushuang call her grandfather, knowing that Wushuang understood, his good intentions, nodded and continued to walk forward.

Their horses were all let out, and although they didn't carry people, they also helped take off a lot of luggage.

The soldiers who had explored the way earlier returned on horseback.

"Tell the two generals that thirty miles ahead, there is a water source, and there is a large open space around it, where you can rest."

"Thirty miles, okay, we know."

"General Zhao, these thirty miles are a bit far away, and our soldiers don't know if they can get there."

"If we can't hold it out, we have to hold on, and only when we get there, can we have a good rest for the day.

Find a good, little place for us to rest, and the soldiers can rest well, so that they can better recover their strength. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and tell the soldiers, and by the way, tell them the news of the day's repair, and let them go to the place thirty miles away for this purpose."

"Okay, there you go."

Wushuang led a horse from the side.

Ride your horse and run to the front of the group.

"Everyone is in a hurry, the vanguard army has just sent people over, there is a water source and a large open space thirty miles ahead, we can stop and rest when we go to that place.

Because of the hot weather, let's take a day off so that everyone can have a good day and recover their spirits. ”

When the soldiers heard that they had to walk thirty miles, they all shouted that they couldn't go, and they were desperate in their hearts.

It was so tempting to hear the next half sentence that it could be repaired for a day.

With such weather, it would be excellent for them to repair for an extra hour, let alone for a day.

Wushuang rode from the front of the team to the back of the team and told the news to the officers and men of the army.

The officers and men of the whole army were riveting their strength, clenching their back molars and walking to a place thirty miles away.

Zhao Changqing instructed the cavalry to let them vacate some horses, let the group leader set off first, rush to the camp first, and quickly prepare food after setting up camp.

In hot weather, make more mung bean soup to let the soldiers cool off.

When the soldiers arrived at the camp in the later stages, they could start eating.

Among those female dependents, Rong Yin and Rouge have always encouraged them.

"Ladies, let's bear with us, and when we get to the camp and set up camp, we can rest.

We still have carriages to ride, look at those soldiers, they are walking in the scorching sun, we are much happier. ”

These ladies are married to those generals and know what is going on in the barracks.

Although it is said that it is their first time in the army, they have also made preparations in their hearts, not to mention that it is indeed like what Rong Yin said.

They sat in the carriage, and what was not satisfied.

Ying'er in Rouge's arms sat quietly when she arrived.

Rouge said after the child.

"Son, let's be good, don't cry and don't make trouble, look at those uncles in the carriage, how pitiful they are, let's sit in the carriage, but we must not cry."

Rouge coaxed the child like this, and the wife of Vice General Zhao, who was sitting in the same car, also coaxed the child like this.

The two of them were the only two of these ladies in the barracks with children.

Because some children sit in the same carriage, they can be regarded as companions.

Rouge looked at his flushed son in his arms, and felt very uncomfortable.

The son suffered, and his heart as a mother was also very uncomfortable.

My son is so obedient and sensible at such a young age, he could have stayed at home, so why bother with it.

Although Wushuang has always encouraged everyone, everyone is also moving towards the goal of being able to repair all day.

But there are still some soldiers who can't hold on.

Most of the soldiers were mechanical, and as they walked forward, their vision was blurred by sweat, and they only knew how to move forward, dragging their steps forward step by step.

It was a hot day, and some of the soldiers picked up the kettle next to them, which was already running out of water.

Pour the last few drops of water from the kettle with your head held high.

The fireheads received the order and rode to the camp first.

After quickly setting up the tent, set up the pot and stove, and boil porridge and rice.

A few people who knew how to be watery took off their clothes and went into the river bare-chested, and some of them caught some fish, and after cleaning the fish, they chopped them into minced meat and added them to the porridge.

I boiled a lot of mung bean soup.

The soldiers finally arrived at the camp one by one, and when they were far away, they smelled the smell of rice, mixed with the fresh smell of fish.

With this scent, their heavy steps seemed to be much lighter in an instant.

When the soldiers arrived at the camp, they were almost all paralyzed on the ground, without the slightest strength.

The leaders of the gang divided the meals among the soldiers in the various camps and gave them some good food.

After eating, several generals went to the camp to chat with the soldiers.

The weather is too hot, and they should talk to the soldiers and cheer them up.

"General, shall we really rest for a full day tomorrow?"

"Yes, the weather is so hot, I'll discuss it with General Chu and them, and we'll fix it for a day.

After everyone has recovered some spirits, let's continue the march. ”

Unlike the men, the ladies could take off their clothes and jump into the river bare-chested to wash their bodies.

This weather, so hot, they also sweat a lot, but they can't wash as casually as at home.

Look at this tomorrow, you can rest for a whole day, those ladies have made an appointment, everyone will go to wash your body with you in batches, and by the way, rub and rub the changed clothes and dry them all day tomorrow.

In the evening, the soldiers, who had been relieved after eating, gathered together, and the breeze blew, and they recovered a lot.

As they could be repaired the next day, the soldiers also changed their clothes.

A few days ago, although they could take a bath, their clothes could not be dried, and although their bodies were clean, they wore sour clothes, and the smell on their bodies was also very bad.

Although they don't care about this, the smell is too big, and they can't stand it.

The ladies and ladies were in the upper reaches of the river, and they were in the lower reaches of the river.

After a full day's rest, when I was on my way again, the weather was not as hot as it had been the other day.

Instead, a breeze blew, and the soldiers who had been repairing for the day were now full of energy and marching forward with their heads held high.

The hottest days have passed, and even if the hottest soldiers have experienced the previous few days, they can bear it.

More than ten days passed, and the soldiers rushed to Cangzhou.

Wang Hu, the general of Cangzhou's city defense, was Prime Minister Zhang's man.

Zhao Changqing and Wushuang set up camp ten miles outside Cangzhou City.

If it is too far away from Cangzhou City, when it is time to attack the city, the soldiers have already used half of their strength when they walk over, and their combat effectiveness will naturally decline when they attack the city.

It was too close, and if Wang Hu sent troops to attack them, they would not have time to defend.

Inside the city of Cangzhou.

Wang Hu heard the report from his subordinates.

"Tell the general, find Chu Wushuang and Zhao Changqing in Peizhou, they are leading the army to be stationed ten miles outside the city."

"How many of them see clearly?"

"There are about 100,000 of them, and there are cavalry, and those war horses are very powerful and tall, but the soldiers on the horses don't look like they are jumping out of the first rank."

"You mean those cavalry aren't as good as us?"

"Yes, it can't be compared to our cavalry, those people sit on standing horses, and they can hardly sit up straight."

Wang Hu listened to the report of his subordinates and sneered.

"Such a person, their cavalry is still like this, not to mention their infantry, it will take more than ten days to come from Peizhou, not to mention that the weather was so hot a few days ago, they must have been injured, many soldiers.

And the cavalry is still like that, I really don't know what Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is afraid of, such an army, and dare to resist by the imperial court, and go against Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, it is simply looking for death. ”

Wang Hu's staff advised.

"General, let's not be so optimistic, this Zhao Changqing can lead the main soldiers to defeat the Huns, their combat effectiveness is enough to make us pay attention to it, although it is said that from Peizhou to our Cangzhou, their soldiers are tired, but we also have to take it to heart."

Wang Hu was full of pride when he heard what the people around him said.

"Sir, don't be so pessimistic, let others be angry and destroy their own prestige, didn't you hear, did the people under your command report just now that an army with the best combat effectiveness is cavalry, and their cavalry is like that, and we can't compare.

What's more, it's still those soldiers, it's definitely worse, and it's already very good to survive in the sun for more than ten days.

You just said that they defeated the Huns, this book can be against our Great Zhou Dynasty for decades, Zhao Changqing and they have also been to the frontier for more than ten years, the Huns should have been wiped out a long time ago, but they have been forced to get rid of these ten years, if we are allowed to go, they will be wiped out in a few months. ”

The staff member shook his head slightly when he saw Wang Hu's smug appearance.

"General, no matter what, let's be cautious and not underestimate them."

"Sir, I know what you said, General Ben knows it in his heart, sir, there is no need to say more."

"General, the little one retired first."

Wang Hu waved his hand nonchalantly, looking at the sand table below, as if he had won, and the look of ambition made the staff sigh softly and turn away.
