Chapter 9 (20) The Battle of Mogan (8)

Shang Cheng was a little troubled by Shao Chuan's words: "Didn't you have something to see me?" ”

Shao Chuan blinked his slender eyes, looking even more confused than Shang Cheng, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "...... Just now I sent an order saying that you want to see me. ”

Shang Cheng frowned, and his gaze couldn't help but glance over the faces of several people around him. Guo Biao and Wen Mu had already woken up from their surprise, and immediately realized the seriousness of this matter, thinking about something with a gloomy gaze and a serious face; With a dark face, Bao Kan stared at the dozen or so heralds one by one; Duan Si probably didn't know what was going on here, and stood aside with a horsewhip and viciously supervised the generals of the "Study Army". These four people in the tent have the right to command the heralds directly under the Admiral's Mansion, but it seems that no one seems to have done something wrong, and everyone looks and behaves naturally...... It wasn't that he suspected that these people would pass on orders from him, but it was a natural reaction to the incident. He retracted his gaze, stared at Shao Chuan and asked, "Which herald sent you a message?" ”

"That's it." Shao Chuan immediately found the "perpetrator" in the group of heralds.

Shang Cheng didn't even look at the herald, and then asked, "How did you pass the order?" ”

Shao Chuan lowered his head slightly, his gaze avoided Shang Cheng's gaze, and said, "In the password, it said that you were looking for me, but I didn't say what it was......"

"When?"

Shao Chuan muttered in reply. But no one could hear what he was saying.

"Huh?" Shang Cheng's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes stared at Shao Chuan with burning eyes.

Shao Chuan's head was buried a little more, and he rubbed it for a while before saying, "...... The first moment of ugliness. ”

When it's ugly, or when it's ugly? Shang Cheng subconsciously looked up at the sky. Now, the red and golden sun had dispersed the clouds and was moving unhurriedly towards the highest part of the heavenly dome. The blue sky, unobscured by mist and clouds, seemed to have just been washed by water, boundless and deep, and shrouded in the grassland like a dome. At the end of heaven and earth, there were still a few broken clouds fleeing in terror; A black eagle spreads its wings and moves slowly under the clouds......

Shang Cheng asked an officer next to him, "What time is it?" ”

"It's going to be time soon."

Shang Cheng stared at Shao Chuan deeply. Zi Chouyin Mao Chensi, that is to say, this guy received a military order three hours ago, but he has not come until now, what does it mean? Besides, he remembered it clearly, he definitely didn't give Shao Chuan any orders alone before and after the ugly time, but this guy kept saying what was going on with his own notice? He pursed his lips, his eyes looked back and forth at Shao Chuan, and he couldn't figure out why Shao Chuan would do such a thing. I can't think about it, so I just don't want to. Like the group of civilian officials in the Health Department, there are few guys in this group of soldiers who teach people peace of mind, and they have been fighting against the Turks for a long time, and everyone has exercised a good skill on the battlefield......

He was silent with a cold face, and the people around him immediately sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and several officers who were discussing military affairs nearby immediately lowered their voices, and Shao Chuan, who was standing in front of him, was even more uncomfortable like a knife bush. Shang Cheng didn't speak, he couldn't retreat on his own, he wanted to ask for instructions but didn't dare, he pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand and hung down on the side of his leg, straightened his waist, looked at him without evil, and tried to make a calm and calm appearance with a frank and swaying face, but the corner of his eye was glancing back and forth. But he is not familiar with Duan Si, he has nothing to do with Wen Mu, and he is not on the right path with Guo Biao, and he was a little dirty just now, so the only one who can help him speak is Bao Kan. But Bao Kan was talking to the ugly soldier who gave orders, and he couldn't count on it in a hurry...... But he didn't regret it. There are many places that the general needs to worry about, and he may not be able to see through some things for a while, often at this time, he needs his subordinates to come out and remind him, don't accidentally suffer the losses of some people. Of course, this can only be a vague reminder, he can't always say to the general with open fire that the surname Guo is not just bringing a few rabbit cubs who have not grown all their hair to learn what military affairs......

When he was thinking about it, Shang Cheng asked him: "That military order when you are ugly, just let you come to see me?" ”

As soon as Shang Cheng opened his mouth to speak, the invisible pressure that tightly wrapped Shao Chuan suddenly subsided a lot. Shao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and said, "It's not all that. The order was for me to hand over the twin bed crossbows I had received. He smiled and said with a smile, "You know, I have a total of five battalions there, and there are not a few bed crossbows in total. Don't jump up and scold your mother? So ......"

"Less pulling this bullshit stuff!" Shang Cheng waved his hand to cut off Shao Chuan's aggrievedness, "Let me ask you, what did the military order say when it was ugly?" ”

Seeing Shang Cheng's unkind expression, Shao Chuan didn't dare to smile anymore, and said: "Da Sima Chou ordered me to hand over fifty bed crossbows. ”

As soon as he said this, Guo Biao, who gave the order, and Wen Mu, who conveyed the order, remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but they didn't bother to ask about it later. If Shao Chuan didn't come, they thought that Shao Chuan would return all the extra bed crossbows to the logistics and rearrange them.

Guo Biao moved, opened his mouth to explain to Shang Cheng, and when he saw Shang Cheng raise his hand, he closed his mouth again. Shang Cheng glanced at Shao Chuan meaningfully, and said lightly: "So, I didn't let you come to see my military order?" Without waiting for Shao Chuan to reply, he turned his face and asked the officer in charge of ordnance logistics deployment next to him, "How many bed crossbows are there?" ”

"One hundred and thirty-four were registered in the barracks. After testing, 120 were intact, and seven could not be double-fired. ”

"How many do you have?" Shang Cheng asked Shao Chuan again.

“…… Not much. ”

"How many?"

"It's only about twenty ......"

Shang Cheng was almost amused by this bastard who was full of nonsense. If Shao Chuan really only had twenty bed crossbows there, how could Guo Biao ask him to hand over another fifty? Shao Chuan's temperament is very clear to him, not to mention eating the bowl, but also occupying the pot, he has always been rampant and domineering, if he only gives him 20 crossbows for more than 100 beds, then he dares to lead troops to grab them in the hands of others without asking for instructions. He believed that Shao Chuan would do this, this guy had done the same thing before.

He frowned and asked Shao Chuan, who looked aggrieved, "How many crossbows do you have there?" ”

"There are really only more than 20 of them." Shao Chuan hurriedly said. But under the pressure of Shang Cheng's gaze, he hesitated for a moment and then changed his words, "However, it may ,...... Maybe some guys didn't report it because they didn't report it. ”

"How many are you hiding?"

Shao Chuan dodged left and right, and in the end, he had no choice but to explain honestly: "There are eighty-four in total." But he immediately added, "Three of them can't be used, and two of them can only be used as a single shot." Also, as you said, the bed crossbow must be used intensively. ”

Shang Cheng laughed angrily at him: "I said that I would use it centrally, but I never said that I would concentrate all the bed crossbows in your Shao Chuan's hands to use, right?" ”

Shao Chuan immediately climbed along the pole, and said with a smile: "It's not a mile." I also followed your instructions there, and placed the bed crossbows behind the horses, and arranged them in two columns, waiting for the horses to come and hit the trees. It's just that there are fewer crossbow arrows, and a crossbow can't be divided into a few arrows. He glanced at the logistics officer next to him and said, "The baggage battalion said that the crossbow bolts are gone......

Shang Cheng immediately shifted his gaze to the logistics officer and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The officers of logistics are really wronged to the home. More than half of the bed crossbows were snatched away by Shao Chuan, and others didn't dare to ask Shao Chuan for it, so they scattered all the fire on the logistics, and there was no way to do it logistically, so they had to let those people move more crossbow arrows back, as for whether this would cause the problem of crossbows without arrows and arrows without crossbows, they didn't think about it so much at that time. It's not that they don't want to think about it, it's that they really can't think about it, and the key is that they don't have time to think about it. At that time, there were twenty or thirty petty officers crowded into the small tent with a big fart in logistics, all of them with red faces, thick necks, blue foreheads, and green tendons, spitting and splashing in all directions. If the hands and feet are slow, some people will turn their faces, and if the numbers are slightly unsatisfactory, some people will flip the table...... In this way, I was still scolded to my face I don't know how many unpleasant things......

Listening to the logistics officer's complaints, Shang Cheng could only pat him on the shoulder and comfort him, but the things that should be done still have to be done, and the matter of crossbow arrows must not be delayed. He said: "Evenize the crossbow arrows again, and send the extra to Shao Chuan." ”

Shao Chuan, who was smiling, made a grimace at Guo Biao, and then pulled the logistics officer with a sad face and left.

Guo Biao shook his head and said to Shang Cheng: "Zida, you are too arrogant to them. ”

Shang Cheng smiled and did not speak.

Watching Shao Chuan, who was riding on horseback, go away along the passage reserved between the phalanxes, Guo Biao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. To be honest, he was very envious of Shang Cheng, and he was very envious that Shang Cheng had such an arrogant soldier as Shao Chuan under him...... However, what does Shao Chuan mean by doing this coldly? Seeing that he came and went without fear, and Shang Cheng's attitude towards him, this guy obviously knew that he didn't pay those dozens of bed crossbows silently, and it wasn't a big deal afterwards, so what did he want to do when he came to make such a fuss?

The Turks are almost there. On the meadow opposite, there was already a vanguard cavalry of the Turpentine driving away the reconnaissance cavalry of the Zhao army. Several yellow and black flags also stood high above the meadow.

Guo Biao looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Zida, do you already know about that?" ”

Although he already knew what Guo Biao was talking about, Shang Cheng still asked, "...... Know what? ”

Guo Biao hesitated: "It's the errand given to me by the Ministry of War......" He couldn't go on.

Shang Cheng thought for a moment, then nodded affirmatively. From the day he received the letter from the Ministry of War, he knew what the real purpose of the Ministry of War and the imperial court to send Guo Biao to Yanshan was If the war did not go well, with Guo Biao, the situation in Yanshan would not fall into an irretrievable situation, and at worst it could be supported for a period of time. However, although he knew that Guo Biao was the backhand prepared by the imperial court to prevent the unforeseen dispatch of troops, he did not have any resentment towards the imperial court or Guo Biao himself because of this, the imperial court is still the imperial court, the military department is still the military department, and Guo Biao is still his old boss, new subordinate and friend. The reason why he felt this way was because he felt that this was normal, and if he was in the position of the military department or the upper three provinces, he would definitely have to make some plans in advance. What's more, it was his old boss Guo Biao who was sent by the Ministry of War, and from this point of view, he also had to thank the Ministry of War for being a kind of painful ordeal if someone from the Ministry of War came over to fight with him in the ring all day long......

Guo Biao stopped talking.

He took a step and stood beside Shang Cheng, calmly waiting for this battle that the Zhao army had to win......
