"How does this work?" Li Ruoxue frowned slightly, and said softly, "There are not many things at home, I can take care of it myself, and I don't need a maid." "There are not many maids and servants in the Li Mansion in Bianliang, and after she followed Zhao Xingde out of the Xia Kingdom, except for the aunt who helped, she never hired any more maids.

"If you don't need it now, you will need it in the future. The captain of the Dragon Tooth Army is a general, and someone comes to visit, and if my sister personally serves tea, I'm afraid no one will dare to take it. Han Ningshuang said, holding Cui Sleeve with her left hand, poured two cups of tea with her right hand, brought one cup to the other side, and took a sip of the other cup to her lips, looking at Li Ruoxue.

Seeing Li Ruoxue's surprised look, Han Ningshuang smiled and said, "Although General Zhao is tight-lipped, if he is really transferred to the rank of lieutenant of the Rong Military Academy, it can be regarded as meritorious and unrewarded, and the General's Mansion will definitely not have such negligence." Besides, I also have some eyes and ears in Dunhuang, and with a little attention to the news from all sides, I can guess the clues. She clapped her palms and walked in with the two maids.

Han Ningshuang commanded: "Ji Yue, Caiyun, I have seen Mrs. Zhao. ”

"Ma'am." After the two maids saluted, Han Ningshuang smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhao is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and it can be regarded as your blessing to follow her to the Xia Kingdom." Ji Yue and Caiyun blessed Li Ruoxue again, and then stood beside them. Obviously, Han Ningshuang had already told them.

These two maids stand side by side, generally tall and short, Jiyue is rich and graceful, bright and moving, and Caiyun has shaved shoulders and thin waist, looking delicate and delicate. Although it is common for large families to transfer slaves and maids, it is not easy to raise a child with qualifications like Ji Yue and Caiyun. Even in the mansion of the magnates of the Southern Dynasty, she was also a maid who was favored in front of her master.

"Ji Yue and Caiyun have followed me since I was a child," Han Ningshuang's eyes showed a hint of warmth, "I originally wanted to find a good family for them, but among the Han army, there is no one who is familiar with qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, if it is easy to allow people, it will be a little regrettable." Trouble Mrs. Zhao to bring them to Xia Kingdom, and find a good family for them in the future. They have been with me for a long time, and they are usually very competent. Han Ningshuang's eyes moved slightly, and her voice was a little astringent, "If General Zhao and his wife are interested, they can also be left behind, even if it is ...... I can't repay it. There was a little gloom in her eyes, the sea breeze was blowing slightly, and Han Ningshuang reached out to cut the tip of her hair.

Li Ruoxue didn't know why, she also felt a little sour in her heart, she bit her lip, rolled up the left sleeve, took off the jasper bracelet on Hao's wrist, and said softly: "Ruoxue can't repay it, leave this to my sister as a token." This jasper bracelet is a gift from Zhao Xingde to his wife after returning from Lumei, and he once said, "Love is like this, and reunion continues." So Li Ruoxue usually wears it on her body.

Han Ningshuang knew the origin of the jade bracelet, and she sighed: "Madame has given it generously, but I often wear military clothes, and the jade bracelet is fragile and cannot be worn, so I can only hide it." Yan Bajiang took the jade bracelet, but gently placed it on the table, his eyes a little gloomy.

The two of them talked for a while, and Li Ruoxue said goodbye and left. The jasper bracelet was quietly placed on the table, and Han Ningshuang looked at it for a long time, and finally picked it up. Although the jade bracelet was tighter when it was caged, it was just right after wearing it, and it was not easy to fall off. The jade bracelet of the hao wrist is crystal clear in the sun. Thinking of something, she sighed, put her hand on her cheek, stunned for a moment, and then took off the jade bracelet again.

............

On the banks of the river, the sand and dust cover the sky and the sun. The cavalry of many steppe tribes galloped back and forth.

A nobleman was shy, followed behind Uruk, and panted as he walked: "The Tachiwu people can't be broken up like this, Uruk, we are a tribe, how can we obey Bo Shenghuo's arrangement." Whoever he wants to be a centurion will be a centurion. If it goes on like this, everyone only listens to Bo Shenghuo's words, and the Tachiwu tribe will no longer exist! ”

Uruk had been walking briskly with a gloomy face, as if he was shaking off a pesky fly, hearing this, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to stare at the man, Uruk's eyes were as fierce as a leopard, and he saw that he was hairy, and said, "What's the matter, Uruk, are you going to go to Bo Sheng to settle accounts?" Until this time, Chai Yanliu was still full of hope that Uruk would fall out with Bo Shenghuo. Although the Tachiu tribe was reorganized into the Tachiu 10,000-man team, and Uruk became one of the 10,000 commanders, the commanders and centurions below were all appointed by Bershenghuo Murbo, and many rules were also formulated by Bershenghuo, in fact, Uruk's power was far less than that of the original Tachiu tribe chief.

"If I hear you say bad things about Bo Sheng Khan again," Uruk stared at Chai Yanliu, a fly that buzzed all day long before he became a commander, "I'll cut your tongue off." He paid no attention to Chai Yanliu, who was frightened, turned and strode away, mounted his war horse, and soon galloped under the great sweat of Boshenghuo Erbo.

"Uruk, come here," Bo Sheng beckoned to him, pointed to the two thousand-strong teams that were charging down the hillside, and said in a deep voice, "That's how the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom charged, the key is not how thick the armor is, the key is to be neat and tidy." The cavalry on the grassland rushed too loosely, and when we met the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom, we had more men and horses, but when we faced each other, we couldn't beat them, and this was the reason. ”

Uruk nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. The longer I followed Bo Shenghuo, the more I found that he had countless abilities, and his attitude towards Bo Shengkuo also had to be regarded as the Great Khan at the beginning, which became heartfelt loyalty and admiration. Since the defeat of the Tuura River, Bo Sheng learned from the pain and summed up the reasons for the defeat, the first is that the tribes do not belong to each other. The second is the mix of elite and mediocre fighters, as a result of which cowardice drags down the brave. The third is that the warriors of the tribe only fight with brute strength, and the two armies cannot cooperate tacitly when they face each other.

The originally generous and somewhat mediocre Bershenghuo Murbo this time showed determination and means that surprised everyone. He resolutely reorganized the tribe that followed him into a team of 40,000 people, and appointed four commanders, the upright Uruk commander of the Tachiu troops, the brave general Timur commanded the Murb troops, the resourceful Temugo commanded the Tatar troops, the loyal Mirgu commanders the Ergu troops, and the small tribes were organized into thousands of troops, and the tribal leaders were usually appointed as commanders of thousands and centurions, and were governed by the commanders of 10,000 tribes. The relationship between the commander and the commander, the commander and the centurion, is no longer the relationship between the leader of the large tribe and the leader of the small tribe, but the relationship of strict subordination. Boshenghuo Erbo even followed the military law of the Liao State, and the commander was killed in battle, and the commander of the thousand commanders retreated to behead the commander. The commander of the thousand is killed in battle, and the centurion retreats, the centurion shall be beheaded.

Bo Shengkuo personally selected two thousand brave and loyal warriors, plus the adult heirs of various ten thousand commanders, thousand commanders, and centurions, a total of three thousand horsemen, known as the guards. In each of the 10,000 teams, the 3,000 strongest and bravest warriors were grouped together, and the 1,000 troops who followed the commander were the most elite. The rest of each 10,000-person team will be divided into 1,000 heavy cavalry teams and light cavalry 1,000 teams according to the size and weight of the horses, and then divided into 100 teams according to the similar color of the horses. In this way, a horse that can carry weight but runs slowly will not drag down a light horse. On the chaotic battlefield, the commander knew the location of his subordinates by looking at the color of the war horse.

Another advantage of such an organization is that it greatly disrupts the original tribal subordination. By appointing commanders at all levels, Bersain Murbo gained much more control over his subordinates, so that he could train and improve the coordination of the steppe tribesmen's cavalry according to his ideas, and began to try to annex some of the weaker tribes. In order to avoid the attack of the Anbei Military Division, the Murb troops migrated eastward as much as possible. However, the pastures here are not enough to feed so many people. It is said that the Anbei Military Division was even preparing to enter the territory of the Liao State to crusade against them.

"Let's wait for autumn," Bo Shenghuo looked down the hillside, the horse's hooves kicked up a sky full of smoke and dust almost into the clouds, and the cavalry charged and shot arrows, "Give them more time, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Anbei Military Division." ”
