While Liu Che was preparing to march at Chang'an, the Shanggu County military camp was much quieter.

In the past two years, in order to hide his ears and prevent the Han from discovering his intention to go south, the military minister Shan Yu has never stopped invading the border counties of the Han Dynasty, among which the valley is naturally indispensable.

However, unlike the other counties that actively fought against the Huns, the Shanggu County never paid attention to the small group of Huns who came only to harass them from the beginning.

Since the fifth year of Yuanguang, except for the battle between Kaichun and King Wuhuan, the Tun army of Shanggu County has never left the barracks, and has never met with the Hun cavalry.

Whenever the military reports from various counties and towns in the north were sent to the barracks or county guards, Qin Cheng just looked at them and ignored them. At first, the generals in the military camp thought that Qincheng had some big plans, just like the last battle of the fourth year of Yuanguang, they first forbear, and when the fighter arrived, they killed the Huns without leaving a single piece of armor. However, this time, the generals waited and waited, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and Qin Cheng still had no intention of sending troops.

Many generals complained, and many generals asked Qin Cheng to fight, but Qin Cheng only sent one sentence: "It's okay to complain, it's okay to scold the generals behind your back, but you must obey military orders." The military order is to refuse to go to war and concentrate on training! ”

Because of the frequent southward invasion of the Huns, coupled with the clear guidance of the Qincheng military order, the training atmosphere in the cavalry barracks of Laomayuan in Shanggu County and the old infantry camp of Qiansang City was stronger day by day.

For the sergeants who violated the military law, Qin Cheng did not hesitate to pay attention to the military law. After finishing the military law, Qin Cheng would also leave a sentence: "If you have the strength to kill the Huns in the future, you will be given a chance!" ”

In short, this pent-up resentment that pervades the Shanggu Tun army is heavier than one day at a time, and it seems that it may explode at any time. Under these circumstances, the effect of military training is getting better day by day, and the strength of the sergeants, as if they cannot be exhausted, is all used in training.

And the armament of the Shanggu military camp, because of the growth of the Chamber of Commerce, has gradually kept up, and basically met the requirements of Qincheng in advance. The entire Shanggu barracks, whether it is cavalry or chariot infantry, whether it is morale or soldiers, after two years of accumulation, has reached a level where people cannot easily look at it directly.

Until late autumn, the Huns invaded Daijun and penetrated more than 200 miles, and the news of entering a no-man's land reached the Shanggu military camp. When the generals in the army finally couldn't hold it back, they endured a stomach full of grievances and went to ask Qin Cheng for orders to fight, but they were told by the deputy general Liu Mu that Qin Cheng was not in the barracks.

In fact, Qin Cheng secretly left the barracks a few days ago, and no one knew where he went.

"Where did the general go? The Huns have all hit the doorstep, the neighboring Daijun has suffered a military disaster, and our Shanggu is also facing the invasion of the Huns at any time, the general is not in the barracks at this time, but where did he go? Ma Dashan pulled his collar and asked.

"The general has an order, if the Huns invade, don't pay attention to it." Liu Mu stood in front of the tent and said expressionlessly, "Haven't you been dealing with it like this for the past two years?" As for where the general went, the general had an order, and it cannot be said. ”

"Can't say? What's going on! At the time of the battle, the main general was absent from the army for a long time, and such an act was simply unheard of! Ma Dashan took a few steps forward, approached Liu Mu, and shouted almost against his face: "General Liu, do you know what serious consequences this will have?" ”

"General Ma, pay attention to your identity, the military camp is not a place for you to splash, you only need to carry out the general's orders." Liu Mu knew Ma Dashan's tendonous head and fiery temper, and he also knew that he didn't mean to slander Qin Cheng, so he just pushed him away and said coldly to the generals: "Have you forgotten the general's instructions, but if there is a war, the general will be the master, what is the matter with you gathering outside the big tent of the Chinese army now, and if you don't retreat quickly, do you want to lead the army?" ”

"General Liu, it's really not our intention, it's just that the Huns have not stopped invading the south in the past two years, and we have never sent troops, so if it goes on like this, it is not easy to explain to the court and His Majesty, and where is the military prestige of my Han?" Ji Zhu stepped forward and said, "You can tell me where the general is now, and I'll go to the general to ask for advice, it's not a way to stay in the barracks like this." ”

"What, isn't General Ji going to carry out the general's orders?" Liu Mu looked at Ji Zhu coldly and said.

"It's not that I don't carry out the military order, it's really ......" Ji Zhu looked bitter.

"General Liu." Shanjia hugged his fists and said, "We know that the general must have a plan, before the cavalry did not succeed for a day, we did not dare to march lightly, and now, our army camp has become a front, and the Huns are really too deceitful." Moreover, according to the last general, this time the Huns went south two hundred miles deep, which seems to be different from the motives of the day before yesterday. The fact that the general is not in the barracks at this juncture really worries me. ”

When the main general was not in the barracks at the time of the war, his whereabouts were unknown, no matter what, it made these generals feel a little bitter, and in the past two years, the barracks have indeed been too ruthless.

Le Yi stood aside, frowning, and speechless.

"That's it, General Shanjia is right!" Ma Dashan looked excited, and pulled out the long knife and plunged it into the ground, "If you can't find the general, the last general will be ordered to lead the headquarters to the expedition!" ”

"General Ma, do you know what you're doing?" Liu Mu glanced at the long knife on the ground and said coldly, "You are a mutiny!" ”

"Whether it is mutiny or not, there is no way to control so much now, and the last general is going to go on the expedition!" Ma Dashan was angry, and he wanted to say something angrily.

Just when everyone was at a stalemate, someone suddenly shouted: "The general is back!" ”

When everyone heard the sound, they stopped their movements, followed the reputation, and saw that Qin Cheng was leading Qin Qingzhi and Ran Min, and they had already walked over.

Qin Cheng's face was gloomy, he glanced at everyone, his eyes fell on the long knife on the ground again, and asked, "Whose knife?" ”

"Yes...... It's the last general's sword. Ma Dashan's previous arrogance was swept away after seeing Qin Cheng, and under the forced gaze of Qin Cheng, he lowered his head and said a little hesitantly.

"Drag it out, thirty sticks." Qin Cheng said coldly.

"No!" Qin Cheng's personal soldiers got the military order and immediately pressed Ma Dashan down, and in front of Qin Cheng, Ma Dashan lost his temper.

Qin Cheng looked around at everyone: "What's the matter, I can't hold it back, I want to mutiny?" ”

"The last general will not dare!" The generals bowed their heads and clenched their fists.

"Ben won't see why you don't dare, don't you dare to wait, what are you doing here?" Qin Cheng continued to say coldly.

"Yes, I'll retire!" The generals said one after another, and they were about to retreat after speaking.

"Wait!" Qin Cheng suddenly showed a somewhat evil smile, "Don't you want to pestle here, then let's pestle." No one is allowed to move without my orders. ”

The generals looked at each other, but they had to smile bitterly in their hearts and promise stubbornly.

After speaking, Qin Cheng walked into the big tent and beckoned Liu Mu to follow in.

"You're going to let them stand outside like this?" Inside, Yanagi asked.

Qin Cheng wrung up the kettle and poured it for a while, turned his head and smiled, and said to Liu Mu: "Don't let them extinguish the fire, just like this, when they go to the battlefield, they are not more impulsive than the other, how can they fight that battle?" ”

Liu Mu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and blurted out: "You decided to send troops?" ”

Qin Cheng put down the kettle, sat down behind the case, and said lazily: "I have been running non-stop for the past few days, but I am tired to death, and I haven't even drunk a sip of wine when I arrive in Chang'an. No, my bones are falling apart, I need to get some sleep first. That Qingzhi and Ran Min, you can go back and rest later! ”

After Qin Cheng finished speaking, he was really ready to lie down.

"You get up for me!" Liu Mu's eyes were a lot brighter with excitement, he rushed to Qin Cheng in two steps, lifted Qin Cheng who was about to lie down, and roared: "You make it clear, are you planning to send troops?" How many days have you been to Chang'an? Why did you end up in Chang'an? ”

"Let go, don't shake it, if you shake it up, I won't have anyone to take you on the expedition!" Qin Cheng pushed Liu Mu away, looked at Liu Mu, who looked like a cannibal, and didn't care about tidying up his clothes, so he laughed to himself.

Some sinister, some proud, even laughing non-stop.

"Are you really going to send troops?" Liu Mu looked at Qin Cheng's smile and knew that this matter was not far from ten.

"It's not that I plan to send troops, it's that Your Majesty plans to send troops." After Qin Cheng laughed enough, he said slowly: "Yes, I went to Chang'an in the past few days, and I also received the order to go out. How's it going, satisfied now? I'm satisfied, but I'm going to sleep! So saying, he lay down again.

"It's finally time to go on the expedition!" Liu Mu, who had obtained the quasi-letter, waved his fist excitedly, and he glanced at Qin Cheng, who was already lying down, with a ...... in his eyes Adoring gaze comes.

"How long will the generals outside the tent stand?" Liu Mu hurriedly asked while Qin Cheng was still asleep.

"I'll talk about it when I wake up." Qin Cheng's inaudible voice came.

Ma Dashan received thirty military sticks, grinned and covered his buttocks and returned to the Chinese army's tent, seeing that all the generals were actually standing in a military posture under the scorching sun, he was puzzled: "What are you doing standing here, general?" ”

Ji Zhu glanced at him angrily, "The general is inside." ”

"The general said, you have to stand here with me when you come back, and you are not allowed to move a step without the general's order." The scarf added.

"What?" Ma Dashan's hand covering his buttocks suddenly hung down weakly.

After Qin Cheng returned to the camp at noon, he covered his head and slept, and when he woke up again, it was already sunset.

The generals stood for nearly three hours, and they were very weak under boredom, but when they saw Qin Cheng coming out of the military tent, they all cheered up.

"The head is not bad." Qin Cheng glanced at everyone and said with a smile.

When the generals heard that Qin Cheng's game was still a compliment, they all straightened their chests a little more, and these majestic generals who were majestic in front of their respective sergeants were as docile as lambs when they arrived in Qin Cheng.

But Qin Cheng's next words made everyone's spirits completely collapse.

"Since you're still in such good spirits, you don't need to eat, just keep standing." Qin Cheng said compassionately. After saying that, he went to eat by himself.

"What's this called?" Ma Dashan looked bitter, "My ass is almost gone." ”

"I really don't know where the general is singing this time, alas!" Ji Zhu sighed.

"General Ji, when did you know what the general was singing?" Shanjia glanced at Ji Zhu with slanted eyes and teased.

"That's right." Ji Zhu sighed.

"I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary." Le Yi, who had never spoken, speculated with his unusual understanding of Qin Cheng.

"Of course it's unusual, if it's ordinary, when will I need to stand here and show jokes to my sergeants?" Ma Dashan said angrily, and sighed: "Oh, my ass!" ”

"You mean......" Shanjia looked at Le Yi, as if he had realized something.

"Hmm." Le Yi nodded, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

"Is that really going to be the case?" Ji Zhu also thought of something, and his expression immediately became excited, but after thinking about it, he was puzzled: "Since this is the case, why does the general want me to wait and stand here?" ”

Shanjia and Le Yi glanced at Ji Zhu at the same time, and in the end, Shanjia patiently broke through: "If the general doesn't suffocate us to death, he won't let us go out easily, don't you see that the general has been holding us for almost two years?" ”

"That's right." Ji Zhu nodded suddenly, "I understand everything you say so." ”

"What do you understand?" Ma Dashan was confused when he heard this, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "What are you talking about?" What suffocates or not. Hey, my ass is dying! ”

Several people looked at each other and smiled, and glanced at Ma Dashan, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed, and just when everyone's hungry hearts were close to their backs, Qin Cheng was finally willing to let the generals be relieved.

Qin Qingzhi issued an order outside the big tent: "The general has an order, the generals gather, and the big tent is discussed!" ”

"It's coming!" Ji Zhu and the others roared excitedly, and scrambled to stride into the military tent.

"Alas, slow down, someone help me, ouch......" Ma Dashan was left last by everyone, limping and shouting.

After all the generals entered the military tent and stood up, Qin Cheng walked from the map to the general's case, and said to the generals: "The general knows that you have been complaining about the general for the past two years, and complaining about why the general did not send troops in the face of the harassment of the Huns again and again. You've been holding back for two years, why haven't you been holding back for two years? If you want to go out to fight the Huns, don't you want to?

But Ben will tell you that killing 110,000 Huns is nothing, even if we kill all the Huns who have invaded the south every time in the past two years, it is nothing! ”

"If that doesn't work out, how do you do it?" Ma Dashan asked, covering his buttocks.

That's a good question." Qin Cheng said, "If these don't count, then how can they be counted?" Ben will now ask you wait, you wait to tell me, how can it be done? What kind of war and what kind of record can satisfy the Han government and the opposition? ”

"In my opinion, killing the Hun military minister Shan Yu is enough strength!" Ma Dashan still spoke first.

"The humiliation that the Huns have added to my Han in the past 70 years can be repaid doubly, which can be regarded as satisfying the government and the opposition." Ji Zhu Road.

"Kill into the desert and crisscross the court of the Huns!" Shanjia is concise and concise.

"Wipe the Huns," Le Yi pointed to the map in the big tent, his eyes awe-inspiring, "Erase it from this map forever!" ”

As soon as Le Yi said this, the big tent was suddenly silent, half loud, and the main generals roared in unison and applauded loudly.

"Good!" After Qin Cheng walked back to the general's case, he looked at the generals, "Since you are so ambitious, then the general asks you to wait, are you willing to follow the general and fight to the death with the Huns?" ”

"Follow the general and fight to the death with the Huns!" The generals clasped their fists and shouted.
