Chapter 471 Competition

Chapter 471 Competition

Chen Tong didn't expect that the emperor suddenly spoke, "I think what Chen Tong said is reasonable. Soldiers, treacherous ways. The so-called war between the two countries and the two armies, what kind of gentlemanly demeanor, benevolence, righteousness and morality are still talking about? As long as the strategic goal can be achieved, some means can be used. ”

Chen Tong's face turned red and he was shocked. The emperor supported his point of view, and he was very excited.

Guo Ziyi was stunned, although she didn't think so, she didn't dare to publicly refute the emperor's words.

Only Lei Wanchun said it when he thought of it, and when he opened his mouth, he was going to say a few words of opposition. But as soon as Lei Wanchun opened his mouth, he was pulled by Nan Jiyun on the side, Nan Jiyun lowered his voice and said in Lei Wanchun's ear, "In front of Your Majesty, Hugh is presumptuous, don't you remember to eat or fight?" ”

Lei Wanchun was startled, his lips trembled, he lowered his head, and swallowed everything.

He was beaten and killed by the emperor before, although there was an element of drama, but his general lost a lot of face, and he couldn't raise his head in front of the generals for several days.

Seeing that none of the generals spoke to object, although Zhang Xuan knew that they had different opinions, he still gave a direct order, "Nanba, you go for a trip." You led an army of 20,000 gods, outflanked it from the right side, went deep into the territory of the Great Eclipse, brought enough firearms, and stabbed me fiercely from the rear of the Great Eclipse army! ”

"I don't ask you to fight head-on with the Great Eclipse army, as long as you can harass the rear of the enemy army, and when the time comes, come back from plundering a group of Great Eclipse nobles and crush the Great Eclipse caravan, I will give you a great credit!"

"Yes, the last will do! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the last general will definitely live up to his mission! "Nan Jiyun has always obeyed the emperor's orders, he has long regarded himself as a sword in the emperor's hand, and the emperor has no heart or complaint.

When it comes to loyalty, among these founding fathers under Zhang Xuan's mark, they still belong to Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, and Zhang Xuan. Of course, Guo Ziyi and the others are not disloyal, but their minds are more complicated, and they will consider the interests of their own family more.

It's no wonder that Guo Ziyi, Yang Lian, and even Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Tong and Fugu Huaien, everyone is a big family behind them, and as the head of the family, they have to think about the family.

Nan Jiyun took the order and left.

Ge Shu hesitated for a while, and suddenly stood up and bowed down with his fists in his fist and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the last general has been entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty, but the last general has not yet made an inch of merit since he entered the army. This time, General Nanda was ordered to go out to harass the enemy, and the last general was willing to ask Ying's entourage to do his best, and please ask Your Majesty for permission! ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned, Ge Shu Lige was the military chief of Zhaowu Dao, the place he appointed with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and he brought Ge Shu Lige to the army, which naturally meant that he would join the army to receive training and baptism of war. Since Ge Shu Lige took the initiative to ask for battle, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and agreed to his request.

After Ge Shuli Ge is also a famous general, he is not a flower growing in a greenhouse, but he should also be able to go to the battlefield and have the ability to lead the army.

"Good. Ge Shu left the song, I ordered you to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters, and after bypassing the Great Food Army and horses from the left side, cooperate with Nanba to fight. Remember my words, don't collide head-on with the Great Food Army, and focus on quick attacks. Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

Ge Shu Lige solemnly bowed and said, "The last general will obey the order!" The last general should do his best for the court and die! ”

After saying that, Ge Shu turned around and walked out with a high spirit.

Guo Ziyi looked at the back of Ge Shu Lige leaving, frowned, and said softly, "Your Majesty, although Ge Shu Lige is a famous general, it is the first time that he has led the army to fight independently. ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "Otherwise, although Ge Shu Lige is young, he is skilled in the bow and horse, knows the art of war and strategy, and has a calm heart, which can be a great task∞ and he will not be wrong to look at people≥ but he can also withstand the experience if he makes some mistakes." As long as it can grow, it's worth it. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, Guo Ziyi no longer insisted.

Guo Ziyi also understood in his heart that the emperor did this mainly to use the war to train future generations of generals, thinking that they would be the successors of these people. But whether Ge Shu Lige can be worthy of a great task as the emperor said, Guo Ziyi is actually very skeptical in his heart.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Guo Ziyi, and said softly, "Guo Xiang, the big war is coming, and the line city is not safe, you will send someone to escort Concubine Duan back to Zhaowu City tomorrow." ”

Guo Ziyi was just about to make a promise, but she heard a crisp female voice outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the concubine is also a female army general canonized by His Majesty, and there are also 3,000 female soldiers around the concubine, and now that the war is imminent, the concubine, as a general, can't run away from the battle!" ”

As he spoke, Guo Fu strode in heroically in armor, with a sword at his waist.

Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly.

Guo Ziyi turned around and glared at her daughter fiercely, but Guo Fu pretended not to see it at all. She approached with her sword in her hand, bowed deeply to the Emperor, and stood to the side. She appeared in the hall as the commander of the female military camp, not as the emperor's concubine.

For Zhang Xuan, the women's army was originally an ornament and symbol, and he wanted to establish the establishment and number of a women's army, laying a foundation for women to join the army and even politics in the future, and would not really let the women's army fight. In fact, these female soldiers really don't have the quality to fight.

Except, of course, for some Uighur female soldiers in the women's army. Those female soldiers were Su Hudong's personal soldiers when she was the princess of Hui, who was good at riding and shooting, and had certain combat skills.

And this time, most of the people who followed the emperor's army to the Green Ridge were the Hui female soldiers around Su Hudong, and they were assigned to Guo Fu's command.

Guo Fu has always been eager to try and want to come to the battle in person, but the emperor never gave her a chance. When it comes to personal martial arts riding and archery kung fu, Guo Fu's daughter has grown up in the army since she was a child, and this kung fu is not covered.

But how could Zhang Xuan be willing to let his women charge into battle. Although the princess's presence in the war will boost morale, there are still some risks in the end.

Guo Fu stood there with her head held high, looking like a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go. All the generals looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't dare to say much, but Lei Wanchun had a rude and arrogant personality, and when he saw Guo Fu wearing armor as a woman, he looked down on him a little in his heart, and hid there and snickered secretly.

Guo Fu took a look and saw Lei Wanchun's virtue. She raised her eyebrows and said solemnly, "General Lei, what are you laughing at?" ”

Lei Wanchun couldn't help laughing, hugged his fists and said, "Duanfei Niangniang, the last general thinks, if you ride a horse to hunt and swim or something, it is not impossible for Niangniang to play with the female army for three or five days, but on this battle array, it is all our business, it is not a joke, it is to lose your head, it is not fun!" ”

Guo Fu frowned and said, "General Lei, don't look down on women, women are like soldiers and kill enemies, don't let Xumei's husband, if General Lei doesn't believe it, let's have a try!" ”

Lei Wanchun felt that he was elegant enough to speak subtly, if the other party was not the imperial concubine, and in front of the emperor, he would have been a little girl.

It can be seen that Guo Fu is still unconvinced, and wants to compete with him, so he can't help pouting and saying, "Niangniang, forget it, my old thunder has heavy hands, and the knife and gun have no eyes, in case I hurt my mother, I can't afford to bear the guilt." ”

Guo Fu glanced at the emperor from the corner of his eyes, and saw that Zhang Xuan was smiling and silent, so he smiled coldly at Lei Wanchun and said, "General Lei is going to have no one in his eyes, so let's have a try." In the first game, you and I fought immediately, and in the second game, you and I competed in archery. In the third game, you practice the art of war, and each of the two armies will send 100 people. General Lei, do you dare? ”

"What's not to dare?" Lei Wanchun was stunned, he didn't expect Concubine Duan to take it seriously. Although Guo Fu is the imperial concubine and has a noble status, how could Lei Wanchun have stage fright in front of a woman, but he immediately smiled and said, "Forget about the art of war, the last general knows that Niangniang has been studying the art of war with Guo Xiang since she was a child. But this pair of war horses shoots, hehe, Lao Lei is afraid that Niangniang will lose and her face will not look good-"

As he spoke, Lei Wanchun turned his head to the emperor and looked at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan smiled dumbly, pointed at Lei Wanchun and scolded with a smile, "You look reckless, but in fact you are cunning." You know that you don't know a single big word, and you don't know the art of war, so you automatically admit defeat. It is really cunning to give up your weaknesses and use your strengths to compete with Concubine Duan. ”

"Don't look at me, I'm on track for this competition."

"However, it would be better to have a little bit of a lottery to try." Seeing Guo Fu's suggestive look, Zhang Xuan nodded secretly and said solemnly.

"That's it, Lei Wanchun, if you win Concubine Duan, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, and I will give you my sweat and blood."

Lei Wanchun's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy, "Is what Your Majesty said true?" ”

Zhang Xuan has a few sweat-blooded horses, which are a specialty of Kangguo, and the prince of Kang carefully selected the king of several horses from thousands of sweat-and-blood horses and dedicated them to the emperor. This horse has a full and graceful body, a thin head and a high neck, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hair, and is said to be able to "travel thousands of miles in a day and 800 in a night". However, Zhang Xuan, as a traverser, knew that this was all an exaggeration, the horse's top speed was about 150 kilometers per day, and at most it was only more than 200 kilometers, how could it be possible to travel thousands of miles a day.

However, this kind of horse has endurance than Turkic horses and Central Plains horses, is good at charging, and is fast, and is the best among war horses. Lei Wanchun has long coveted three points, but the production of this BMW is scarce, and although he is a general, he is not qualified to ride.

"I've never joked."

Lei Wanchun laughed, "Since Your Majesty is willing to give the last general a horse, the last general is disrespectful." ”

But I heard Guo Fu sneering on the side, "What if you lose?" ”

"If I lose...... I'll leave it to my mother. Lei Wanchun gritted his teeth and said, he originally wanted to say that he would lose some money, but he was alone, had no family, no belongings, and no property. Besides, at the moment in the army, he has an empty pocket.
