If you don't have enough troops, you won't have the capital, and the leopard can't think of a way to turn the tide of the battle, so he can only say: "The last general is the only one who obeys the order of the marshal!" ”

These words made An Yuan angry, although the leather leopard had no choice, but he also said that he would absolutely obey the order, what else could An Yuan do? At the very least, the attitude of the leopard is good.

An Yuan couldn't help but be discouraged, when he was in trouble, there was no one around him who could help him turn the situation around, at this time his eyes noticed Zhao Junsheng who seemed to be dozing off, and his heart moved, although this Zhao Junsheng is a Han man, he is indeed talented, and now is the time to employ people, it is better to ······

After having an idea, An Yuan coughed lightly and shouted, "Zhao Junsheng! ”

Zhao Junsheng opened his eyes, walked out unhurriedly, bent over and hugged his fists: "Humble duty!" ”

Yasuhara asked, "Do you have any thoughts on the current unfavorable situation?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said lightly: "The humble position is humble and light, even if you speak, it won't work, it's better not to say it, if you make the handsome unhappy, it is the sin of the humble position!" ”

This is simply heart-wrenching, Zhao Junsheng naturally knows that An Yuan doesn't want to see a Han like him, and when he encounters such a boss, the best way is not to say anything, even if he gives advice and makes contributions, he doesn't have his share, why do such a thankless job? Anyway, his baggage battalion had no obligation to go to war.

An Yuan's face turned blue and white when he was said this, if it was usual, he would definitely make Zhao Junsheng look good, but now at this time, he still focuses on the overall situation, and he still endured it without having a seizure.

"If you have an idea, just say it, even if you don't say it well, Ben Shuai will not blame it; If it has an effect on the battle situation, Ben Shuai will definitely take credit for your achievements! ”

The lord next to him also said: "Zhao Dutong, when is it now?" If you have an idea, say it, as the saying goes, there are no eggs under the nest? If we are defeated, no one will be able to please us! ”

This was to the point, and Zhao Junsheng had to admit that this made him have to give up his prejudice against An Yuan, he thought about it and hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, with the current available strength of our Jinling battalion, we no longer have the strength to attack for the time being, even if we can attack, we need to wait for an excellent opportunity, otherwise we can only defend with all our might!" ”

"At present, our biggest weakness is that we don't know anything about the Rouran people, we don't know how many troops Rouran has in Shengle City, and we don't know how many troops they have in Monan! Therefore, before we find out the details of them, we must not act rashly and focus on active defense for the time being! ”

"The suggestion made by the master just now, the subordinates thought that it was the words of the old Cheng to seek the country, on the one hand, he sent a fast horse to send a war report to the imperial court, asking for reinforcements; On the other hand, active defense! The subordinates suggested that the Right Guard Army should be withdrawn to rest and recuperate, and all the garrison troops in Huaishuo Town should be sent out, and the defense forces of Da'e Mountain, Tunqi Mountain and Nantianbao should be increased, and the defense force should be strictly guarded! ”

"After the right guard retreats, immediately treat the wounded soldiers, let the other soldiers rest well, and if the forward defense line is attacked, reinforcements can be sent at any time!"

An Yuan thought about Zhao Junsheng's words, and there was no other better way for the time being, so he could only act according to Zhao Junsheng and Zhizhong's suggestions.

"Lord, write a battle report and send it to the Beijing Division as soon as possible, asking for reinforcements! Send someone to order the king of Yongchang to lead the remnants to withdraw to the Jinling camp to rest! General Pi, let all the soldiers and horses under your command get ready to be deployed, and wait for the remnants of the Right Guard Army to withdraw to the Jinling camp, and your troops will immediately disperse and reinforce several major fortresses. The defense line of Da'e Mountain, Tunqi Mountain, and Nantianbao is under your full command, and you will never let the Rouran army cross this defense line for a single step! ”

"Yes!" Several of the people who were named came forward together.

An Yuan waved his hand: "Zhao Junsheng stays, everyone else is scattered!" ”

Soon only An Yuan, Zhao Junsheng and a few personal soldiers were left in the big tent.

An Yuan said to Zhao Junsheng: "Zhao Dutong, now that the strength of my Jinling battalion is tight, even if the right guard army withdraws, they are also in a state of rest, and the commander hopes that your baggage battalion can take on the vigilance and patrol tasks of the battalion, this is the first one; Second, after the right guard army withdraws, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of wounded soldiers, and the demand for medicinal materials must be particularly large. ”

The supply of logistics and baggage in wartime and non-wartime is by no means the same, take grain, grass and medicinal materials as an example: in wartime, soldiers have to carry dry rations with them, and sometimes it is not surprising that they have to carry dry rations for ten days and half a month, and in order to make the soldiers have enough physical strength to fight, they eat almost three meals a day and eat enough at a meal; In non-wartime, they did not need to carry dry rations, and they only ate two meals.

Speaking of medicinal materials, the demand for medicinal materials in the army in non-war times is not too large, and the consumption will not vary too much every month, but in wartime, the number of wounded soldiers for medicinal materials increases dramatically.

Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and replied: "Dashuai, it is the task of our baggage battalion to escort the baggage, and it is also necessary to ensure the supply of medicinal materials, the baggage battalion will send people and carriages to Shanwu County every day, and there are also people to escort the baggage back to the camp every day, so you don't have to worry about logistics at all!" However, the guard and patrol tasks of the battalion are not the duty of my baggage battalion, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be too willing, even if the commander and the lowly rank and above forcibly issue military orders, they will definitely only work and not contribute, after all, they only get so much salary, these salaries are not enough for them to sell their lives! ”

Yasuhara frowned: "You mean that if you want the baggage battalion to take on the task of guarding and patrolling, you can only let them do their best with money?" ”

"Marshal, the baggage battalion is not a soldier, and the status is low, who let the court not treat them as people? Of course, they will not work for the court, if you want them to work for the court, the only way is to reward them! As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and if the commander can come up with a large amount of money, the brothers of the baggage battalion will definitely not refuse to accept the vigilance and patrol tasks! ”

An Yuan is not short of money, if he is usually he would not be willing to spend this unjust money, but now the situation is critical, the strength of the Jinling battalion is weak, so he can only pull out the baggage battalion to make up the number.

"Come on, prepare three hundred gold and one thousand silk silks!"

Zhao Junsheng soon returned to the baggage camp with 300 gold and 1,000 silk silks.

As soon as she was about to enter the camp, Mulan caught up from behind: "Brother Junsheng! ”

Zhao Junsheng looked back and saw that it was Mulan, so he asked Li Bao and others to move the gold and silk into the camp, he turned around and asked, "Mulan, is it about to be pulled?" Which fort was sent to? ”

Hua Mulan said: "It turns out that you already know, my soldiers and horses under my command were sent to Nantian Fort to reinforce the garrison, after all, I have been stationed there and am familiar with the terrain!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "The order that Marshal An gave you is to wait for the remnants of the Right Guard Army to withdraw to the Jinling camp, you have to start immediately, I believe they will withdraw before noon, so you should set off in the afternoon!" ”

"Yes! Brother Junsheng, after I leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a while, you ······ Will you miss me? Mulan hesitated and asked.

Hua Mulan was able to put down her reserve and take the initiative to ask such a question, obviously she also realized that the Rouran army was not good this time, and whether she could get out of this way was a question, and she was also worried that she would never see her Junsheng brother again.

Zhao Junsheng took Mulan's hand and said with a smile: "Silly girl, of course Brother Junsheng will miss you, but you are not allowed to think about me, you have to put all your energy on guarding against Rouran people, if you think about me, you will be distracted, I don't want you to have an accident, we once said okay, when we completely defeat Rouran, we will go back to our hometown to become relatives!" ”

Hua Mulan nodded silently: "Well, we said okay, you are not allowed to break your promise!" ”

"Never!"

Hua Mulan returned to the garrison camp to prepare for the start, and Zhao Junsheng returned to the baggage camp camp and ordered the second and third battalions to rush to the first battalion camp to assemble and stand by.

An hour later, more than 3,000 people from the three battalions of the Jinling battalion were all assembled, and Zhao Junsheng took Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Xue Andu, Cao Jiao, Pei Jin and other cadres to the point platform.

"Come on, carry it up!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's order, four personal soldiers came up with two large wooden boxes and put them down.

Zhao Junsheng took a few steps forward and said loudly to the more than 3,000 heavy soldiers on the school field: "Brothers, you must have heard about the war in the past few days, and now the situation is unfavorable to us, the garrison of the Jinling battalion is weak, and the marshal Xingyuan decided to let our baggage battalion take on the perimeter guard and patrol tasks of the battalion, Bendutong wanted to refuse, after all, our baggage soldiers are not soldiers, only responsible for logistics and heavy tasks, but the marshal gave a heavy reward, and Bendutong thought that you all want to make a living, so Bendutong agreed!" From this day forward, your salaries will be tripled! Come on, open the box! ”

A soldier bent down to open the two chests one after the other, revealing yellow gold leaves.

Zhao Junsheng walked over and grabbed a handful of gold leaves to show to all the generals in the audience, "No one knows how long we need to undertake patrol and guard tasks, each of you can get a gold leaf first, if you are willing to do it, come to receive the gold leaf in turn; If he didn't want to do it, Captain Pontus would immediately return the gold to the marshal! Captain Bendu only asks you one sentence, do you want to do it? ”

Many soldiers on the school field couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the yellow gold leaves in the two boxes.

"It's done, it's done, it's done!" Suddenly, everyone yelled in unison.

Zhao Junsheng immediately waved his hand: "Okay, send gold leaves, come one by one!" ”

Naturally, someone would do the matter of sending gold leaves, and Zhao Junsheng called Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Xue Andu and others to the side to arrange vigilance and patrol tasks.

After noon, the remnants of the Right Guard Army really returned, and when Zhao Junsheng got the news, he wanted to run over to greet him, and make a show, which could also make Tuoba Jian's heart feel more comfortable, but before he could run to the periphery of the camp, An Yuan sent someone to call him over again.

He came to the marshal's line and saw An Yuan clasping his fists and asked: "Meet the marshal, I don't know what the marshal has to say when he recruits him again?" ”
