There was a sudden silence in the tent, and all eyes fell on the man who spoke up. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a white face, not a flower and moon appearance, but she had a delicate and elegant appearance, and a female official's dress added a bit of heroism.

She seemed to be a little shy in the first place, and when she saw the countless eyes in the tent fall on her together, a jade face became even more bloodless.

Everyone in the tent was stunned for a moment, and only then did an eagle general shout unhappily: "Bold, how dare you speak in front of General Nan?" Don't you know that the military regulations are strict? ”

The meeting was not a top-secret military meeting, and it was customary for the Eagle to lead one or two henchmen to take note of the situation or convey orders. The Bohai Navy also stipulates that civil and military officials who are not at the level of eagle generals have no right to speak. The female official stood behind Zhang Mengyi, with a fresh face, obviously a newcomer who had just been promoted. She opened her mouth so rashly, which was indeed a violation of military discipline.

"The people of this general, this general will discipline himself!" Zhang Mengyi has always been short-guarded, she glared, and the eagle general who scolded couldn't help but shrink his neck and didn't say a word.

"Akihime! Although you are a first-time participant, how can you break the rules? Zhang Mengyi's eyes fell on the face of the female official, and she reprimanded in her mouth, but she quietly handed over a look: "Don't retreat!" ”

"Yes!" The maid bent down in a panic and began to walk backwards towards the tent in small steps.

"Akihime?" Nanying was stunned, this can't be Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan, right? That's right! When he went to Chang'an that day, he did casually arrange for Cai Yan to be temporarily transferred to Zhang Mengyi's women's barracks...... He suddenly blurted out, "You give Ben a stop!" ”

"What?" His sudden shout not only frightened the female official to sit down, but also made the general lose his color...... General, what's the matter? Will it be difficult for a little girl like never before?

"Don't be afraid!" Nanying knew that he was out of shape, and he tried to squeeze out a gentle smile: "Ben will ask you, are you Cai Yan?" ”

"Yes...... Be! The little girl had obviously never been in this formation, and in her big and moving eyes, tears were swirling around, and she was almost about to cry.

"Ahem! Cough! I have heard that Cai Zhonglang's daughter is famous, but I can see it today! Nanying was also a little flustered, if a little girl was scared to cry in the tent, it wouldn't be a big joke? He decided to cut to the chase quickly: "In that case, Ben would be happy to hear what you think...... Don't be afraid, just speak up! If it is useful, it will be rewarded! ”

"Oh!" The little girl timidly turned her head to look at Zhang Mengyi, and only after getting encouragement from her gaze did she boldly say: "The predicament faced by the general is nothing more than the difficulty of finding food at the end of autumn, and it is even more difficult for our army's strange soldiers to get supplies from the rear when they go deep behind enemy lines. I don't know if it's not? ”

She saw Nanying smiling and nodding, and her courage was a little stronger: "However, my subordinates know that in the Youji area, there is a kind of forest fruit that can be used as military rations!" ”

"Say! What is the fruit? Not only was Nanying moved, but the first one jumped up.

"It's mulberry! Has the general heard of it? Cai Yan seemed to have completely dispelled his fear, and a smile appeared on his face: "Although my subordinates are not proficient in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, they passed through here many years ago and accidentally found a large area of hidden wild mulberry forests, but the fruits were not picked, and the amount was simply incalculable......

"You're talking about mulberries?" The trial couldn't help but be disappointed: "I am a native of Wei County, Hebei, of course, I know that some places are rich in mulberries." However, mulberries are mostly born in June and July, and now it is almost October, even if those wild mulberries are not picked, they will fall and rot, how can they be eaten? ”

Another eagle general under the tent stood up and said, "General, what the judge said is true!" During the last general's previous service in the Northern Army, there was a time when the army had a food outage, and the chief general also collected mulberries on the spot to dry them to fill the army food! In retrospect, it was in June and July! ”

A sigh of disappointment rang out in the tent.

"It's a pity!" Nanying was also disappointed, stared at Cai Yan and said softly: "This mulberry will know that it grows fast and has a high yield, which is not only easy to preserve, but also can quench thirst, and if eaten for a long time, it can also prevent a variety of diseases, it is indeed a rare military need!" But at this time......"

"General! You only know one thing, but you don't know the other! Cai Yan couldn't help blushing, and argued: "The characteristics of mulberry growth in the north are different, if it is hot in summer and autumn, or after a great drought, it is very likely to grow another season!" ”

She raised her head and said confidently: "There is a great drought in many places in the north this year, and my subordinates are seventy percent sure that those wild mulberry forests have borne fruit again at this time!" If the general doesn't believe it, he can check it out on the spot! ”

"This?" Everyone, including the judges, looked at each other, apparently unaware of this.

"What are you hesitating about?" Nan Ying's eyes lit up: "Immediately according to the direction pointed by Miss Cai, send cavalry scouts to investigate on the spot!" Fast! ”

Behind a hidden col, an endless mulberry forest seemed to connect to the horizon, and among the branches and leaves were all attractive fruits, some still red, many more had grown into ripe purple, and even the grass under the trees was covered with layers of mulberries that had fallen naturally after ripening.

The gift of heaven is so abundant, yet so cruel! The land of Hebei, because of the great drought, starved everywhere, so that there was no one for hundreds of miles. And in such an unknown mountain and forest, there are such a large number of nutritious natural gifts that silently grow and die, but are not known to the outside world, which is a great irony of life.

Tens of thousands of Bohai naval soldiers were urgently mobilized, and they used local materials to weave countless large baskets of rattan to hold the inexhaustible mulberries. In the process of picking, the soldiers laughed and rubbed a lot of fruits into their mouths, dyeing the edges of their mouths bright red.

"General! Please taste! A Black Eagle Guard ran up to the Southern Eagle Horse, holding a small basket full of mulberries in both hands, and his young face was full of joyful smiles of harvest.

In the rattan basket, the plump mulberries are exuding a purple luster, as clear as agate.

Nan Ying slowly stretched out his hand, his hand trembling slightly...... Gently put a mulberry into the mouth, the water juice is full, the mouth is full of relish, and the sweet and sour fragrance seems to flow to the heart...... Just like Nanying's mood at the moment.

"Gongda! You should be grateful to Miss Cai! He sighed softly: "It was she who made your motion for the temporary northern expedition possible!" Otherwise...... You and I will both be sinners who have harmed thousands of soldiers! ”

"Yes...... Gongda is taught! Behind Nan Ying, Xun You suddenly bowed down and saluted the soldiers who were harvesting in the distance...... No one can understand the mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, and at this moment, he seems to be transforming from a famous man on paper to a pragmatic and wise man who controls the overall situation.

"Someone! The biography will be the first order! Nanying gently exhaled a mouthful of mulberry's unique sweet breath: "The whole army is going all out to pick mulberries, and you can take as much as you can, but it must not be less than the ten days of food for the whole army...... Ben will only give half a day! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! The herald quickly unfurled the white silk.

"Second order!" Nan Ying looked into the distance in a daze: "From now on, all the territories of our army will be planted with all their might, and the people will not need to pay taxes on this...... This order is in effect forever! ”

"General......" Even the herald raised his head in shock, and Xun You bowed down with his eyes rippling.

"The Third Order!" Nan Ying suddenly turned sideways: "What position is Cai Yan now?" ”

"General!" A personal guard immediately said: "Miss Cai is currently the marching master of the Red Kite Battalion!" ”

The Red Kite Camp is a women's battle sequence based on the hundreds of women rescued during the Southern Eagle Expedition to Karasuma that day, and has reached 2,000 people so far, led by Zhang Mengyi. Among the four female generals of the Bohai Navy, Gao Gao'er and Zheng Lian are in charge of the wind camp, and have official military positions, and can lead 1,000 troops to fight alone; Zhang Mengyi is the leader of the whole female army, and he is the Red Kite Battalion; And Ma Yunluo has the greatest military power, not only commanding a hussar battalion composed of Xiliang soldiers, but also temporarily commanding and dispatching various Eagle Army. Cai Yan, as the marching commander of the Red Kite Battalion, although he is a civilian, he coordinates secrets, clerical and logistics, which can be regarded as an important position, and his treatment is comparable to that of a military marquis.

"Good!" Nan Ying nodded and said: "Give Cai Yan a great credit, and from now on join the military council and be the same as the eagle general!" ”

"Yes!" The herald took a slight breath. In addition to the four major female generals, there was only one female military official who had "the right to participate in the military council and the general of the same eagle", and that was Cui Yuxiu, the commander of the Bohai Navy...... And everyone in the Bohai Navy knows that Cui Yuxiu is not only brilliant, but also about to become the wife of Gao Shun, the second leader of the Bohai Navy.

"General, this ...... Isn't it a little too out of the ordinary! Ma Jun happened to be coming, and he was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Our army is strictly promoted, especially for female officers...... There are detailed rules! ”

"Wrong! Ben was wrong before, and you couldn't be more wrong! Nan Ying shook his head in a daze: "The general knows Cai Yan's ability, but he doesn't know how to know people and be good at his duties, and he almost made the army unable to eat, which is a mistake; And you stick to the rules and regulations, and it implies the meaning of degrading women, which is even more wrong! ”

"If you have a mistake, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded! This is the order of the army! He said slowly, "You all remember! There are only two kinds of people in this world...... Male or female, and whether male or female, there are worldly talents! This is our most valuable asset! ”

After that, he ignored the people who were staying at the scene, and said in a deep voice: "Half a day later, the whole army marched in a hurry...... Target, Jixian Gongsun Chan camp! ”

He turned his horse's head and galloped out of the mountain. The war had not yet started, but his heart was clear...... In the front, Liu Yu's army fought head-on, and then the Bohai Navy attacked the rear, and Gongsun Zan was bound to lose this battle. And the Bohai Navy will neither exterminate Gongsun Zhan, nor will it help Liu Yu. With Liu Yu here, the northern Zhuhu may temporarily stop and stop Kou Luo's footsteps, and the people in the north may obtain a short period of peace; And Gongsun Chan must also live, only when there is no way to go north and no result to go south, Gongsun Chan can turn the strategic focus to the west and drag down the momentum of Yuan Shao's development. And once history repeats itself, when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan and the two tigers compete, it will be the time when the Bohai Eagle Division will level Hebei in one fell swoop!
