Chapter 18: Disciples of the Guards

Wei Yuan looked at Zhao Kuo stupidly, his main general was so decisive in his understatement, just like he had dealt with Zhao Yong at the beginning.

But to Wei Yuan, since he has already done it for the first time, he doesn't care about doing it again. Thinking of this, he nodded fiercely: "Since the general has entrusted such a heavy burden to his subordinates, his subordinates will naturally live up to the general's trust." ”

Zhao Kuo was very satisfied with Wei Yuan's attitude, he was worthy of being the commander who was single-handedly pulled up by himself, and he did everything according to his own mind: "Okay, let's get here today, go and prepare early, don't embarrass me tomorrow." ”

"No!"

After a night of repairs, Zhao Kuo took Wei Yuan to Jiang Sheng's barracks early in the morning on the second day. Jiang Sheng was already waiting here for the arrival of Zhao Kuo and the others, and when he saw Wei Yuan behind him, Jiang Sheng frowned instead.

"Can General Jiang and Wei Yuan know each other?" Seeing Jiang Sheng's expression, Zhao Kuo on the side asked with a smile.

Jiang Sheng shook his head, pointed to Wei Yuan's finger and said, "In the opinion of the last general, I am afraid that the candidate recommended by General Zhao is not very good, if he is really skilled in bowing, how can his fingers be so smooth?" ”

Wei Yuan smiled slightly, took out the protective gear he had prepared from his arms and put it in his hand, and raised it a little arrogantly for Jiang Sheng to look at: "General Jiang is also rare and strange, these things are also very common, don't you need me to explain to the general, right?" ”

Jiang Sheng snorted disdainfully, turned around and pointed to the school field that his subordinates had prepared early in the morning and said, "Since General Zhao recommended you to come over, you must show trustworthy skills." How about the two of us compete on this school field today? ”

"I don't dare to ask for it." Wei Yuan originally had Zhao Kuo's task on his body, so he naturally would not choose to back down at this time.

Zhao Kuo led the guards behind him to sit on the viewing platform set up on the side, watched Jiang Sheng and Wei Yuan turn over and get on their horses, holding bows and arrows to start the training program that the cavalry of Zhao had maintained since King Zhao Wuling.

Seeing the fierce competition between the two, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but yawn. For him, he doesn't pay attention to the process of the competition between the two, and what he wants is nothing more than the final result.

If Wei Yuan can defeat Jiang Sheng, then everyone will naturally be happy, and he will be able to have one more chess piece to control the cavalry troops; If Wei Yuan was defeated by Jiang Sheng, then he would need to take corresponding responsibility for what he said.

The art of riding and archery is simply a compulsory skill for the noble sons of these families in Zhao State. Zhao Kuo just glanced at it casually, and he had a general certainty in his heart.

Wei Yuan's riding and archery skills on the horse should be stronger than Jiang Sheng's, with such a judgment, Zhao Kuo didn't take this competition to heart, he didn't believe that Jiang Sheng dared to do something in front of him.

Sure enough, after a fierce battle between the two people, in the end, Wei Yuan won this victory by a narrow margin. These cavalry soldiers who watched the battle had been impressed by Wei Yuan's riding and archery skills, and after seeing Wei Yuan's victory, they actually shouted loudly regardless of the face of their own commander.

Zhao Kuo originally thought that Jiang Sheng would have a black face after failure, but unexpectedly, this person was also impressed. He came to Zhao Kuo, clenched his fists and said: "Thank you for the general for giving such a tiger general, with Wei Yuan's help, our cavalry troops will definitely be invincible!" ”

Zhao Kuo was a little confused by this scene, he really wanted to touch Jiang Sheng's forehead if he was feverish, could it be that this person was stupid after a competition?

Looking at Zhao Kuo's puzzled gaze, Jiang Sheng laughed a few times and said, "Hahaha, does General Zhao know who Wei Yuan is?" ”

This question stumped Zhao Kuo, he only knew that Wei Yuan's riding and archery skills were very superb, and it was not a matter for him to consider whose disciple it was.

Looking at Zhao Kuo's expression, Jiang Sheng knew that he didn't know what kind of person he had arranged for the cavalry troops to come in.

Thinking of this, he excitedly hugged Wei Yuan's shoulders beside him, and said with a laugh: "Brother Wei Yuan is a disciple of Wei Suo, who is peerless in Daijun Cavalry and Shooting, and I knew it as soon as he made a move just now. If it weren't for Brother Wei Yuan's mercy, I wouldn't have lost these two points today. ”

Wei Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "What's the matter, I also admire General Jiang's skills, we are just between the two of us, and it is just a fluke that I can win." ”

"Oh, Brother Wei, don't be polite, who doesn't know that the disciples handed over by Mr. Wei Su can't touch the bow and arrow unless he has his own approval. Since Brother Wei can ride a horse and shoot arrows, I believe that Mr. Wei Suo's whole body skills have been learned by you. You have entered our cavalry unit, but you can't hide it! ”

Seeing the two of them get together like brothers, Zhao Kuo also breathed a sigh of relief. I originally planned to appease Jiang Sheng and these cavalry soldiers, but now it seems that there should be no need.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, interrupted the chat between the two and said, "Since this is the case, it couldn't be better, you two will go to the big tent of the Chinese army with me." ”

The two returned to the Chinese army's tent with Zhao Kuo, and after Zhao Kuo got rid of the left and right, he told Jiang Sheng the strategy he had talked about with Wei Yuan before: "Jiang Sheng, do you have the confidence to relieve the pressure on the front line?" ”

Jiang Sheng was a little hesitant, he thought about it for a while and said, "General, there is no problem here for the last general. It's just that if we take away the only 50,000 cavalry, and the general encounters the cavalry of the Qin State here, what should we do? ”

Zhao Kuo's fingers roamed the map, drawing all the Danzhuling defense lines: "We hold on to Danzhuling, even if the Qin cavalry inserts another pair of wings, it is impossible to play a role here!" ”

"The general is so confident, then I am fighting for my life, and I will complete the general's entrustment!"

"Okay, it looks like General Jiang won't let me down!" Zhao Kuo stood up, staring at Jiang Sheng's confident face with his eyes, "Before leaving, I still have to tell you to wait, this battle is a departure from all the rear, you must be fully mentally prepared." ”

"You must preserve the living strength of these 50,000 cavalry, and do not start a battle without 100% certainty. And since you don't have any rear, you have to treat the Weishui coast as your own rear, and use the supplies of the Qin army to survive here as much as possible. ”

"General rest assured, this is also the first time we are fighting under such circumstances, so we will naturally be extremely cautious." Jiang Sheng patted his chest and said, promising not to be greedy.

"Okay, you go straight to Saddle Gully and go out from this valley. This trip is extremely dangerous, the two generals take care! ”

"No!"
