Zhuo Maolin means that no matter how strict the training of soldiers is, as long as they have not passed the test of life and death, and have not been baptized by war, they are all the same, and it is merciless to say that they are old soldiers.

Besides, I understand what he means, this kind of thing is not only said by Zhuo Maolin. However, he didn't agree with Zhuo Maolin's words very much, which seemed to mean that no matter how high a person's martial arts practice is, as long as he has never really fought with anyone and has not killed anyone, he cannot be regarded as a real martial arts master.

It is said that no matter how high the martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives, and I don't believe this for a long time, as far as Murong Yanran and these people are concerned, not to mention kitchen knives, even butcher knives are useless, there is no time when you lift them up, maybe the figure has not been seen yet, and his head has already moved.

Moreover, these elite soldiers who have been trained, even Qi Jiguang is very approves, thinking that as long as they are fully equipped, they can really compete with the Tatars, Qi Jiguang is a handsome man tempered in the life-and-death battle with the pirates, and his vision will not be wrong.

Of course, knowing that these newly trained soldiers still have great flaws, just compare them with Sun Hu's subordinates and the guards of the original Zhongshan Palace, but this can only be changed by time, and it is not a simple increase in training intensity that can be effective. In time, these people will be as elite as the elite soldiers of the two provinces, and there is no doubt about it.

Zhou Dingcheng saw that his face was more ugly than him, so he smiled and said: "These will be known soon, let's see if they can pass the pass of those robbers on the desert, if they can't get through, there is no need to exist." ”

Xiao Jun laughed and said: "Brother Zhuo is just a reminder to Master Guo, he always wants all the people who come out to be brought back without falling, and no one dares to protect this kind of thing." ”

Zhuo Maolin does mean this, and the literati habits are still too heavy, and they are too deeply bound by the benevolence and morality in books, and they always want to take on the same task in the world, at least they have always been such a big package for their subordinates.

Zhuo Maolin opposed his idea from the beginning. Not only did he want to bring all the members of the mission back unharmed, but he also wanted none of his men to be lost, which was too idealistic, even a very sour idea, and actually didn't work at all.

Besides, it's not that he doesn't know what his problem is, it's just that he has to put forward this goal, and he can't say in advance that some people can be abandoned, and this premise must not be compromised.

He knew that according to Zhuo Maolin and Xiaojun's thoughts, as long as he was rescued safely, everyone else could be abandoned, soldiers could be replenished if they lost money, girls didn't have to care, and the Thin Horse family could provide more and better beauties to him.

This conversation cast a haze over the mood that had finally sunny.

Walking forward, the scenery along the way is still beautiful, the atmosphere outside the air is getting stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere is obviously tense day by day. It is already common to see the official army marching, and besides, people ask about it, they are all from all over the Xuanfu border passes.

"What the hell, isn't it to negotiate? And what tension does the Tatar create? And his heart was full of doubts.

"This is their usual trick, to promote peace with war and scare the court." Zhang Whale knows a little about this.

"It can't be for us, is it?" Besides, he smiled bitterly.

"No, negotiation is something they can't ask for, and it's okay for the court to maintain the status quo, but they can't stand it." Zhang Whale shook his head and said.

Entering the territory of Shanxi, Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, and Fang Fang, the governor of Shanxi, led the political envoys of Shanxi, the envoys of the inspection and some major generals guarding the border to meet the Qincha team.

Seeing that there were 10,000 cavalry in the long convoy behind them, these officials were also puzzled, but they didn't ask much, this time it was a secret negotiation, and many things could only be kept secret, and their task was to meet the ministers sent by the imperial court.

As for what happened to the 10,000 cavalry, it was impossible for the emperor not to know, since the above sentence was not mentioned, they just had to receive it normally.

Governor Wang Chonggu personally led the border army to protect the situation and his party came to the provincial capital Datong, according to the meaning of the governor Wang Chonggu, he wanted to invite him to stay in the governor's yamen, where all the office conditions were complete.

Besides, he didn't want to interfere with the governor's affairs, and he didn't have anything important to do in Datong, so he still asked to go to the post house to live.

In the post house, the governor and the governor ordered people to put on the incense case, and invited the holy decree monk Fang sword to be enshrined on the incense table, and then with Wang Chonggu and Fang Feng led everyone to pay homage to the holy decree monk Fang sword.

He didn't take out the scepter, and since no one noticed the words "If I am here" on it, he would have more than one thing to do, otherwise, he would not be able to leave his scepter, and all the officials would have to bow down when they saw the scepter in his hand, which would be too embarrassing.

After all the officials paid their respects collectively, it was a banquet to wash the dust from the wind.

Now not only he has come to Datong, but all the officials who are going to participate in the negotiations have also come to Datong, and they are all light and simple, and they have arrived here a few days earlier.

Originally, the meeting place was in Datong, but besides, I haven't talked to them yet.

"Wang Junmen, have the Tatars increased their troops again?" Besides, he asked Wang Chonggu with a wine glass.

"They are often transferred back and forth, so they are tricky, but according to the information we have obtained, it is likely that the Tatars will choose Xuanfu as a breakthrough in the autumn." Wang Chonggu nodded.

"This time, Lord Qin sent to negotiate outside the country, hoping to have a good result." Fang Fengshi also raised his wine glass and said.

Besides, it is not difficult to negotiate to achieve results, the most difficult part is still in the link of Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Zhang Ju is determined to ask for his head, and if Wang Da does not agree to this condition, everything will not be negotiated.

"In the opinion of the two lords, does the Tatar king have the sincerity to negotiate peace?" Besides, he asked.

Wang Chonggu looked at the governor Fang Fengshi, and then the two exchanged a look, Wang Chonggu said: "The news in this regard is rather confusing, but from the fact that Wang Ke sent his grandson and little prince into the customs to negotiate, it should be the most sincere." But the interior of the Tatars is not monolithic, not to mention the fact that there are many tribes, large and small. There are also many who secretly disobey the king of Alta. ”

Fang Fengshi continued: "I heard that those tribes also want to make trouble this time, and Lord Qincha won't be too lonely this time. ”

"How?" Besides, he was surprised.

"In other words, they will do a lot of things to sabotage this negotiation." Fang Fengshi said with a smile.

"They may carry out all kinds of sabotage such as raids, assassinations, etc., on the mission on the way. So I see that Lord Qincha has brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, is he also prepared? Wang Chonggu asked with a smile.

Besides, he laughed, shook his head and said: "Lord Junmen and Lord Zong Xian have misunderstood, these people are protecting those merchant groups, not protecting the mission, and I only brought three hundred guards with the mission. ”

"What, three hundred, that's enough. Besides, I don't see any trade groups? Wang Chonggu was shocked.

Besides, I feel even more embarrassed, what kind of business group, it is Zuo Ling and the shopkeeper of those housekeepers under her, it is all his family's business, it is better to call it a business group, it can't be called the business team of the family.

"Lord Qincha, you can't be careless, the Tatar people can't believe it, you still have to put the safety of the mission first, at least there must be three thousand elites to protect the safety of the mission, if there are not enough people, we can transfer an elite guard from the border army." Wang Chonggu Road.

"No, thank you for your care, I'll take these 10,000 people with me all the way to Hala and Lin." Besides.

Originally, according to the meaning of the situation, as soon as they entered the outside of the Saiwai, they could be protected by the Tatar army, and they were separated from the 10,000 people led by Sun Hu, and then the mission accelerated to Hara and Lin, and the merchant group could slowly hurry behind. It is obviously inappropriate to listen to Wang Chonggu's meaning now, of course, they also have many sources outside the Saiwai, since there is news that their mission is going to be attacked, it is not groundless.

Then the 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by Sun Hu have two tasks, protecting the mission and the merchant group at the same time.

This is better, and he was originally worried that the reason for leading the troops out of the fortress was not sufficient, but Wang Chonggu's words provided him with enough reasons.

"That's the best, but I'm afraid that it won't be easy for these 10,000 people to enter the outside of the fortress, can the Tatars let them go?" Fang Fengshi frowned.

"There will indeed be problems in this regard, but you can negotiate with them, just say that for the sake of security, you must bring your own soldiers and horses to escort you, otherwise you will not negotiate." Wang Chonggu said firmly.

Even if it weren't for this, the mission was ambushed or attacked outside the fortress, and his face as a court official would be gloomy, not to mention that this negotiation would still ease the tension at the border pass.

He actually knows a little about the content of the negotiations, and if the imperial court wants to negotiate with the Tatars, of course, he needs to consult these feudal officials and major generals stationed at the border gates, but he just doesn't know what Zhang Juzheng insists on the most, so in his opinion, the possibility of success in the negotiations is still very high.

As the governor stationed at the border and the official of one party, he has the heaviest responsibility. Once the Tatars broke through the border pass, that is, the day of his martyrdom, the generals could escape, and even some officials could flee for their lives, but he could not retreat a single step, and could only defend the border pass. People are locked up, and people are killed.

Fang Fengshi is similar to Wang Chonggu, although the governor mainly manages local administration and interferes less in military affairs, but in the border towns, it is difficult to distinguish between government affairs and military affairs, and he also has the official title of counselor in military affairs, and whether the border can be held is also related to his net worth.

They just couldn't understand why the imperial court entrusted such an important mission to a young talent-type upstart, and they naturally heard about the origin and some deeds, but they all felt that it was impossible to be qualified for such a heavy task.

It's just that they can only keep these words in their stomachs, and they don't dare to say them, and they also know that the appointment of the ministers was hand-picked by the emperor and approved by the cabinet collectively, and they have never been given full power to negotiate, and there must be an inside story in this that they don't know.
