Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bet
Inside the big tent, the atmosphere was a little solemn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
An iron tower-like general stood in the middle of the ground, shouting angrily, "A thousand? The surname is Zhao, and there are hundreds of scrapped horses used by my sons and daughters every year, and you only add 1,000 horses, where is it enough? If you don't replenish enough new horses, you can't run on the ground? ”
Zhang Jun came in quietly and didn't attract much attention. He had some impressions of this loud-voiced general, who was the one who shouted grievances in the quiet room a few nights ago. Now it seems that it is his label to speak all with roar, and his ears are numb with shock.
Opposite this general was a middle-aged civil official, although he was facing the same person who would go berserk at any time, his face still did not change. People didn't look at him at all, they took care of their clothes and didn't say a word.
"Zhao Majian, five or six out of ten of the reasons for the loss of war horses are caused by the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, and in the past two years, our Chinese army's iron cavalry has practiced day and night, so the war horses have been damaged more. But now the general wants to review the cavalry, and it is absolutely impossible not to change it for 3,000 new war horses. On the side, Chen Zhen, who joined the army, opened his mouth to help.
This middle-aged civil official is the chief officer of Da Liang's military horse supervisor, and all the deployment of military horses must be approved by him. Raising horses is originally a technical job, and cultivating war horses is the top technology in this era, so this Zhao Ma supervisor has great authority, even if there is Zhang Mao's order, if he does not allow it, usually others have no way.
I saw him say: "Chen joined the army, you are also an old soldier, you should know very well how much it costs to train a war horse." Although Liangzhou produces horses, it is not a war horse, I can't understand the military order, what's the use of going to the battlefield, isn't it adding to the chaos! “
"A thousand horses is already the greatest capacity of the military horse superintendent, and any more, it will have to wait until after the beginning of spring next year." Zhao Majian did not give an inch.
Zhao Majian's words seemed to be said to Chen Zhen, but they were actually passed on to Han Pu. In terms of the old army, is there anyone in this big tent who can compare to General Zhendong?
Han Pu also frowned, his hand propped up the wide table in front of him, and he didn't know how to speak. The sneak attack plan on the Xiongnu Han State is still top secret, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let go of the unplanned people, but if he wants to dispatch 5,000 cavalry, replacing them with new war horses is something that must be prepared. But if there is no enough reason, this iron rooster is a hair.
was worried, but saw a faint figure flickering at the tent door, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Jun standing in the corner of the door as if no one was around.
Han Pu couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly planned to consider this young junior.
He spoke: "Major General, Ben General sees that you seem to have something to say, you might as well speak boldly, as long as you are reasonable, you can speak freely in my military tent!" “
"Huh?" Zhang Jun looked up in amazement and saw Han Pu looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of banter. What the hell, I just wanted to watch you argue quietly, but all of a sudden, it was on me.
Seeing that no one answered for a long time, everyone in the tent followed Han Pu's eyes, but saw that their major general was standing there at a loss, looking like a new soldier in the army, and many people directly recalled what they looked like when they stepped into the barracks, which was exactly the same.
"Haha, young general, but you still remember my old ha!"
A thunderous roar came, and I saw that the loud iron tower general stepped forward, invited Zhang Jun to the field, and said with a laugh: "Young General, I haven't seen you for two days, you are good!" ”
"Hehe・・・・・・ it's so ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・" Zhang Jun said with a bitter face: "It's another self-cooked." ”
"Don't blame the young general, this is Ha Chenghei, General Ha. He served as the general of the Chinese army. Chen Zhen, who joined the army, pulled away Ha Chenghei and introduced: "He is a fighting man, and he is used to being vulgar in the army." ”
"Ah・・・・・・ it's okay!" Zhang Jun hurriedly said: "Jun ruthlessly likes General Ha's straightforward ・・・・・・"
"Major General, if you have any high opinions, you might as well tell me and listen to them." Zhao Majian said curiously.
"Uh・・・・・・" Zhang Jun looked at Han Pu who was smiling with a smile on his face, looked at the curious baby-like generals in the tent, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thought of an object, and said stubbornly: "Jun does have a way,"
Han Pu looked at Zhang Jun in surprise and didn't speak, Chen Zhen was very surprised, and was about to speak, but he heard Ha Chenghe's loud voice shouting first: "Young General, do you really have a way?" ”
Horses are the lifeblood of cavalry, and whenever he sees some war horses withdrawing from the battlefield due to the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, Ha Chengji is heartbroken. If there is a way to avoid damage to the horse's hooves, it is no problem to ask him to kowtow.
"Yes, there is a way." Zhang Jun met Ha Chengsi's excited gaze and affirmed.
"Hahaha!" Ha Chengsi jumped up and said happily: "The young general has a way, and I don't have to worry about running out of horses anymore." ”
"Wait!" At this time, Zhao Majian took a step forward and said to Zhang Jun with a solemn expression: "Young General, there is no joke in the army, do you know that as soon as this word comes out, you will be responsible for it to the end!" ”
Nima! Zhang Jun was speechless for an instant, and just now he said let me speak freely, and now there is no joke in the army?
However, Zhang Jun is now an easy and uncowardly character, and immediately said to Zhao Majian: "You can take this sentence as the general of the Great Liang Fujun, Wuwei Taishou, and the Marquis of Bacheng, if I solve the problem of broken horses' hooves, Zhao Majian will hand over two thousand horses to me." ”
Zhao Majian naturally didn't believe that Zhang Jun, a young man, would have any way, so he immediately struck his hands and said loudly: "Okay, the young general is so courageous." The wear and tear of the horse's hooves is the main factor that restricts the dispatch of my Daliang military horses, as long as the major general can solve the problem, the old man will allocate 2,000 war horses! “
"But ・・・・・・," Zhao Majian said with a smile: "If the young general can't do it, what should he do?" ”
"The surname is Zhao, what do you want?" Ha Chengji shouted.
"I heard that there is a bloody horse in the Western Regions in the Major General's Mansion, which is extremely miraculous・・・・・・
Without waiting for Zhao Ma Jian to finish speaking, Zhang Jun interrupted: "A word is a certainty, if I can't do it, then I will send you a bloody horse." ”
"Definitely!" Zhao Majian shook his head and said: "How can the old man be a greedy person for profit, the young general's sweat and blood horse will become a stallion, and I will build more horses for my Daliang." ”
Zhang Jun stretched out his hand and clapped Zhao Majian with each other. It's a bet.
Han Pu smiled and saw that Zhang Jun's gambling contract had been completed, and then said: "Young General, Ben will be very curious, how do you do it?" “
Zhang Jun was confident and said with a smile: "When we walk barefoot, the soles of our feet will be abrasive on the road, and the same is true for horses. People can wear shoes to avoid foot injury, but why can't horses? “
"The young general is saying・・・・・・ you want to put shoes on the horse?" Zhao Majian seemed to have heard a big joke, and opened his mouth wide.
"Exactly!" Zhang Jun nodded.
There was a brief silence in the tent, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
Han Pu also smiled and said, "Young General, what you said is not bad, but how can a horse wear shoes?" Forget the gambling contract just now, Zhao Majian, what do you think? ”
"・・・・・・" Zhao Majian waved his hand, he was already speechless with laughter, took a big breath, and then soothed, and said with a smile: "The young general is really capable of what others can't, but the old man is indeed invincible!" ”
"Wait!" Zhang Jun also smiled: "Why, you don't believe it? ”
Everyone shook their heads and said nothing.
"Well, I don't know where the craftsmanship of the Chinese army is, Jun will show you seniors!"
Zhang Junxin said: "The horseshoe should come out!" ”
