Chapter 110: The Detective Rider
After two days of simple drills, the three hundred soldiers could barely meet Zhao Junsheng's requirements, after all, the time was too short, he had decided to practice slowly on the way to Jinling, and when they arrived in Jinling, they must train their queues and military postures decently.
The north is bitterly cold, and the climate is cold in winter, icy and snowy, Zhao Junsheng made sufficient preparations, he sewed several sets of cashmere sweaters, wool knitted sweaters, woolen pants, wool jackets, capes, and fur mink coats and capes for himself and Mulan.
Shoes are also only important, he made three pairs of snow boots for himself and Mulan for each of the thick soles of the cropped cowhide folded and fur for the upper and lining.
At this time, it is already October, and when I arrive in Jinling, I am afraid that it will be November, and these warm clothes can come in handy immediately.
The day before departure, Zhao Junsheng rode to Huajiabao, and Hua Arc and his wife were both surprised and happy by Zhao Junsheng's arrival, and immediately let him into the house for tea.
After taking a seat, Hua Arc asked, "Junsheng, why did you come here today?" Isn't it busy in the yamen? ”
Zhao Junsheng took a sip of tea, took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle Hua, I'm ······ I'm going to Huaishuo Town, and I'm likely to see Mulan soon! ”
"This ······" Hua Arc and his wife glanced at each other, and Hua Arc wondered, "You shouldn't have gone to Huaishuo Town specifically for Mulan, right?" How can you be so reckless and impulsive, child? Hey······"
Zhao Junsheng did not deny it, "Now that General Wandugui has been transferred to Huaishuo Town as a town general, and the county is going to send another 300 county soldiers to Huaishuo Town to escort grain and grass and other matters, I asked General Wan to help me transfer to Bingcao, and I will be the head of the battalion of these 300 county soldiers, and I will leave tomorrow!" I like Mulan, Mulan also likes me, I have decided to be with her no matter how hard it is, I hope Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua can fulfill us! ”
Hua Yuan touched his tears and said, "Uncle Hua and I are very happy with you as a son-in-law, where will I embarrass you?" It's just that in Mulan's situation, we don't want to delay you! Serving in the army and fighting has nothing to do with you, so why do you suffer from this sin? ”
"The little nephew has made up his mind, so don't persuade my uncle and aunt anymore!" Zhao Junsheng said with a firm expression.
Hua Arc sighed: "Okay, since you have decided to be with Mulan whether you live or die, Uncle will not persuade you, the two of you can take care of each other together, you child is sensible and measured, Mulan has you to take care of, Uncle is much more relieved, rest assured, Uncle supports you!" ”
Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, uncle!" I wonder if my uncle and aunt have anything to say to my little nephew to bring to Mulan? Do you want to write a letter to be brought by your nephew? ”
Hua Arc slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes, yes, you see that my old man almost forgot such an important matter." So, uncle, come and write! ”
"Good!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, asked Hua Xiong to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a letter according to the meaning of Hua Arc, wrote several pages of paper, sealed it in an envelope after writing, and hid it in a close place.
Before leaving Huajiabao, Zhao Junsheng handed Hua Arc another post: "Uncle Hua, General Sima Liangpeng of the Suiyang Town Garrison Army is my brother, I have already greeted him, if someone plots against Huajiabao, your old man can send someone to find him with my post, and he will definitely come forward to settle it!" ”
Hua Arc stretched out a trembling hand to take the post, patted Zhao Junsheng's shoulder, and said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "Child, you must be more careful when you go to Huaishuo Town, Uncle is still waiting for you to come back for a happy event!" ”
Zhao Junsheng hugged his fists, turned around and stepped on the horse's back, whipped the horse and left.
Before dawn the next day, Zhao Junsheng got up, after washing up, he went into the room to pack his things, all the prepared clothes, shoes and socks were already loaded and ready, Zhao Junsheng only packed two sets of clothes, shoes and socks that were changed on the road, and wrapped them in cloth!
He took out a booklet from under the bed, this booklet was written with the last four words "Detective Cavalry Strategy", including the military book, Zhao Junsheng's previous collection of several boxes of books had all been loaded, but this "Detective Cavalry Strategy" was turned out by him alone and hidden.
This is the grandfather Zhao Gui's oral account based on his experience in the army before his death, and it was recorded by Zhao Junsheng's predecessor, which recorded Zhao Gui's reconnaissance experience and precautions after studying and pondering by himself when he was a detective and detective outpost.
Train according to the method recorded above, and after a few actual battles, it is not difficult to become a qualified scout cavalry, Zhao Junsheng feels that this thing is only afraid that it will be used in the future, so he still takes it with him.
Zhao Junsheng prepared his bags and opened the door, Lu Xuanbo was already waiting outside with two horses, tying his bags to the horses, and at this time, Liang Xiao's family and the ten cavalrymen sent by Liang Peng were already waiting outside.
"Uncle Liang, the family will be handed over to you!"
Liang Lian's lips trembled a little and he clenched his fists and said, "Young Master, cherish all the way!" When the young master settles down, I must write to inform him as soon as possible, and I will be ready to meet the young master! ”
Zhao Junsheng nodded, and said goodbye to Liang Lone's mother-in-law and several children one by one, then turned over and galloped away, and Lu Xuanbo and the others immediately rode up and followed.
When they arrived at the barracks by the city wall, twelve carriages full of grain, grass and supplies were ready, the old and weak of the baggage soldiers undertook the task of driving and pushing carts, and the other strong men were fully armed to escort the carriages.
One of the three hundred people appointed by Zhao Junsheng stepped forward and hugged his fist: "The head of the camp, all the horses have been assembled, all the supplies have been loaded, and they are ready to set off at any time!" ”
Zhao Junsheng looked up at the sky, at this time the sky was already bright, and the city gate had been opened, he did not hesitate, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!" ”
There was no one outside the barracks to see them off, and these bastards in the baggage camp were all "lonely people", otherwise they would not be willing to go north to be baggage soldiers, who let them have no family? Who made the salary of a heavy soldier higher than that of a county soldier?
Zhao Junsheng really thought that no one would come to see him off, but when he got out of the city gate, he found that there were many people standing outside the city gate, all of whom were the old subordinates of the Fa Cao Agency, as well as the garrison Sima Liang Peng.
Liang Peng immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Brother, drink a glass of water and wine before leaving, brother is gone, we brothers don't know when we can see each other again!" With a wave of his hand, a soldier brought twice as much wine from a tray.
Zhao Junsheng didn't say a word, picked up a glass of wine and saluted Liang Peng, and then drank it all.
Pei Jin took the colleagues of the Facao Agency to step forward and raised his glass and said: "When I joined the army, I rectified a lot of people, but this is all good for everyone, we all know what is good, I have joined the army for a few months, so that the Facao Agency has turned over earth-shaking changes, we respect, I wish you a smooth journey to join the army, cherish all the way!" ”
Zhao Junsheng drank another glass, smashed the wine cup, and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
