Zhao Junsheng met the person from the Jinling camp in the lobby of the barracks-Changshi Jiangyuan, the marshal Xingyuan.

"I don't know why Jiang Changshi came to Nantianbao? What are the military orders from above? ”

Jiang Yuan was very unhappy, he rode a horse for several hours, his mouth was dry, this Zhao Junsheng didn't invite him to sit down, he didn't even have saliva, and immediately showed displeasure: "Zhao Dutong, how can this official say that he is also the marshal of the Jinling battalion, he came all the way, and you can't even give up a sip of water?" ”

"You see that I, a rough man, have forgotten this, offended, offended!" Zhao Junsheng patted his forehead, and immediately instructed Li Bao: "Ask someone to bring some tea!" ”

Soon, a pro-soldier sent a bowl of boiled water, Jiang Yuan saw it, and his heart was even more angry, and he even gave him to drink boiled water, and he was reluctant to put a few pieces of tea!

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Jiang Changshi forgives his sins, the top does not allocate baggage to the capital general, the conditions of the garrison from Nantianbao to Da'e Mountain are too difficult, and they can't even eat enough, let alone drink tea, if they want to drink tea on weekdays, they pick a few leaves from the tree and brew them with boiling water, the taste is bitter and astringent, the people below may be worried that Jiang Changshi is not used to drinking it, so they don't put leaves, and please Jiang Changshi don't dislike this boiled water!" ”

Soak leaves as tea? Jiang Yuan was speechless, and he despised Zhao Junsheng extremely in his heart, don't drink it if you don't have tea, you actually use leaves to brew boiling water as tea, you can think of it! If you still talk about this kind of thing, you are not afraid of being laughed at.

Jiang Yuan also knew that Zhao Junsheng was indeed hard here, after all, if the top did not allocate baggage, even if Zhao Junsheng had great ability, if he did not send troops to plunder, he would not be able to solve the problem of military consumption of the army at all.

He waved his hand: "Forget it, the official will drink boiled water!" Alright, let's get down to business! ”

"Listen to me!"

"Ahem!" Jiang Yuan coughed twice and said: "When Zhao Dutong and the baggage battalion were transferred to this Nantian Fort, Zhao Dutong borrowed five thousand horses from the Jinling battalion, which was borrowed from the ancient prison army, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Junsheng sighed in his heart, and said in his heart that he just wanted to use these thousands of horses and soldiers to form a cavalry, and the soldiers were also selected, and the drill plan was also taken out, this guy wouldn't be here to get back these thousands of war horses, right?

But he really couldn't deny it, when he asked the prison army Gu Bi to borrow these more than 5,000 horses, there were other people present, and he couldn't deny it if he wanted to.

Zhao Junsheng could only honestly admit: "That's right, Pontus did borrow more than 5,000 horses from the Gu Jian Army!" ”

"Since Zhao Dutong admits that there is this, the next thing will be easy to do, now all the armies of the Jinling camp are replenishing their troops, and they are in urgent need of war horses for drills, and please ask Zhao Dutong to return these more than 5,000 horses to the Jinling camp, and send people to drive these war horses to the Jinling camp with this official!"

You let Lao Tzu spit out what you eat in your stomach? No way!

Zhao Junsheng muttered in his heart, and said with a sad face: "Please forgive me Changshi, now the garrison of my Nantianbao to Da'e Mountain defense line is also conducting drills, and these war horses have come in handy, so I am afraid that they will not be able to be returned to the Jinling camp for the time being. ”

Jiang Yuan's face changed, "Zhao Dutong, what do you mean by this?" This batch of horses was originally from the Jinling battalion, and it was only for the baggage battalion to travel at the beginning, but now that the war is over, please return it to Zhao Dutong immediately, so that the official can go back and hand over to the supervising army! ”

"Didn't Zhao say it, now that this batch of horses has come in handy, if it is returned to the Jinling battalion, my soldiers have actually practiced in vain these days? This is a no-go! ”

Jiang Yuan Huo Ran got up and asked with an unkind face: "Zhao Dutong, do you plan to return it according to what you say?" ”

"No, no, no, there is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again! Zhao still knows this truth, but the Jinling camp also has to understand Zhao's difficulties, right? When Zhao Junsheng said this, he suddenly slapped his head: "Oops, Zhao suddenly remembered that there was an important thing that was not arranged, and he sat down for a while, and Zhao came when he went!" ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Yuan to react, turned around and walked out of the barracks lobby.

Jiang Yuan sat in the barracks lobby for a long time, but he never saw Zhao Junsheng turn around, and the boiled water was refilled several times, so drunk that he wanted to go to the toilet, he got up and walked outside, and was stopped by two guards outside the door, one of whom asked: "I don't know where Changshi is going?" ”

"This official is going to the toilet!" Jiang Yuan was a little unhappy, "Get out of the way!" ”

The guard said, "Changshi may not know where the latrine is, the villain will take you there, please!" ”

"Lead the way!"

After coming out of the toilet, Jiang Yuanxiang walked in the barracks, but was stopped by the guards: "Changshi, please forgive me, the barracks are important places, outsiders are not allowed to move around without permission, please go back to the lobby and wait!" ”

Jiang Yuan said angrily: "This official promised the marshal to make a long history, is it also an outsider?" Can't this official look at this barracks? ”

The guard said: "Last time, the Rouran people broke through Da'e Mountain and hit the Jinling camp, many people suspected that there were Rouran spies in the Jinling camp, so they all had orders, if outsiders were not accompanied by him, no one was allowed to visit and walk around the barracks at will, and please don't embarrass us soldiers."

Jiang Yuan was so angry that his nose was almost crooked, but when he thought of his identity? What is the identity of these little soldiers, and why does he bother with a few little soldiers? Immediately threw away his sleeves, turned around and walked back to the barracks lobby.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xian selected 3,600 people in the assembly, and all of them were given a horse, a spear, a riding bow, a knife and a pot of arrows, which was the equipment that Zhao Junsheng prepared for these cavalrymen who were not really cavalry.

In terms of armor, the horse had no armor and had nothing but saddle stirrups, brins, and victory hooks; The knight's armor was all leather armor, very lightweight, and as a light cavalry, these equipment were already quite complete.

While the soldiers were familiarizing themselves with the horses and equipment, Gao Xiu asked in a low voice: "Dutong, didn't you say that you would start practicing tomorrow?" Why did you suddenly change your mind and start today, and you won't be anxious anymore? ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Do you think I want to be so urgent? The Jinling battalion sent Changshi Jiangyuan to ask the city to get back these horses, if the city didn't let the soldiers practice, how could they justify and fool him? ”

"I see!" Gao Xiu's expression tightened, and he immediately said: "Is it to let the soldiers practice, otherwise we have no reason to detain this batch of war horses, and our subordinates will let the soldiers practice according to your training plan?" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Well, today I will teach the soldiers the correct way to lead the horse, lead the horse forward, get on the horse, get off the horse, and ride the horse to sit in a posture!" ”

"Yes!"

These selected soldiers are actually able to ride horses, but many of them are not correct in these aspects, since it is training, it is necessary to follow the correct method to lay a solid foundation, which is very important for practicing riding.

More than 3,600 people began the most basic training in riding under the command of Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xiu.

Speaking of horsemanship, Zhao Junsheng's riding skills have been very superb after such a long time of training, and he can basically achieve the unity of people and horses, and people with this kind of riding skills are not uncommon in the army, and Zhao Junsheng is barely qualified to train the soldiers in riding.

The soldiers were training very seriously on the school field, and at this time there was a noise not far away, Zhao Junsheng turned his head to see, it turned out that Jiang Yuan couldn't sit still in the lobby and rushed directly to the school field, and the guards in the lobby didn't dare to hurt him, so they could only try their best to stop him, but he rushed to the school field regardless of it.

Zhao Junsheng immediately greeted him: "Oh, look at my memory, as soon as I worry about military affairs, I forget the long history in the lobby, I'm really sorry!" Long history, let's go back to the lobby and talk about it, it's too noisy here, and you can't hear it when you talk quietly! ”

Zhao Junsheng forcibly pulled Jiang Yuan back to the lobby, and Jiang Yuan was so angry that his beard rose high.

"Changshi, you also saw it just now, this batch has really been distributed to the soldiers for drills, you want Zhao to return them now, the soldiers are afraid and don't agree, if something happens, how about it? Why don't you go back first, and let someone Zhao find a way to get the horse back from the soldiers and then return it to the Jinling camp? ”

Jiang Yuan had a few people who were fed up with bird gas here, the water was full, but the rice was not mixed with a mouthful, this trip was really a big loss, he immediately asked: "How long do you need?" ”

"Two months? How is it? ”

Jiang Yuan immediately waved his hand: "No, ten days at most!" ”

"Okay, ten days is ten days!"

Jiang Yuan got Zhao Junsheng's promise, and immediately got up to say goodbye and left, he didn't want to stay here for a moment!

Li Bao stood beside Zhao Junsheng and watched Jiang Yuan ride away with two entourages, and asked, "Dutong, do you really plan to return these more than 5,000 horses to the Jinling camp in ten days?" ”

"Who said that?" Zhao Junsheng turned his head and asked.

"You just promised Jiang Yuan personally!" Li Bao said stupidly.

Zhao Junsheng was puzzled: "Is there one?" How come I don't remember? ”

Li Bao opened his mouth and couldn't speak, only then did he understand that Zhao Junsheng was simply trying to fool Jiang Yuan, and when Jiang Yuan came back ten days later, Zhao Junsheng would definitely play tricks.

"Li Bao, if Jiang Yuan comes back in ten days, you can tell him that Bendu is not in the barracks, and he will go to Da'e Mountain to inspect the defense, and let him come back in a few days!"

The corners of Li Bao's mouth twitched, and he hugged his fists and agreed: "Yes, all of them!" ”

That night, the Jinling camp came again.

Zhao Junsheng waved to Li Bao and a few of his own soldiers; "Let's all get out!"

After Li Bao withdrew with his own soldiers, Zhao Junsheng hugged his fists and saluted the visitors: "I've seen Master Yu!" Is the prince okay? ”

The person who came was Bo Yuji, the lord of Yongchang Wang Tuoba Jian, and he hurriedly stopped Zhao Junsheng: "Zhao Dutong is polite, the lower officials can't stand it!" ”

"Master Yu, please take a seat and speak!"

"Good!"

"I don't know what is the important thing for Lord Yu to come to Nantianbao this time?"

Yu Ji said to Zhao Junsheng with a solemn expression: "Last time, Gu Bi, the supervising army, ordered Hua Mulan to be the defense envoy and let you be the deputy defense envoy, this matter was agreed by the prince, if the prince did not agree, Gu Bi would not dare to do this, but the prince did not know that Gu Bi added a clause in the military order for you to raise your own baggage, the prince was very angry after hearing it, but the military order has been issued, but it cannot be changed without authorization!" Later, Gu Bi issued a new military order, transferred Hua Mulan back to the Jinling camp, and let you take over the defense, of course the prince understood that Gu Bi wanted to get rid of you and these thousands of people, and the prince didn't stop it after thinking about it, because the prince thought that this was an opportunity for you! ”

Zhao Junsheng complained with a bitter face: "But this is a pit, more than 11,000 soldiers and horses plus more than 4,000 people have to eat and dress, such a heavy burden, how can Zhao afford it?" ”

Yu Ji smiled and said: "Didn't the prince send an official to send charcoal to Zhao Dutong in the snow, five thousand stones of grain and grass and five thousand horses of cloth can be transported here within three days!" In addition, the prince will send a batch of weapons from the reserve ordnance of the Right Guard to Zhao Dutong every month, and there is some money, and Zhao Dutong can send people to buy some materials in the market with the money! ”
