Chapter 045: Follow the Trend

"How should that be? Tell him not to avenge this and swear not to be a man? It's just a joke in vain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Qin Shen snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "What is majesty besides?" It's the affordability that counts. ā€

"Affordable?" Cao Jin was confused.

Qin Shen nodded and said, "Let me ask you, what kind of city is in the clouds?" ā€

"O Frontier City." Cao Jin replied casually, and immediately woke up and exclaimed: "Bingcheng!" ā€

After tasting it, his eyes were full of amazement and said: "The general is really good at taking advantage of the situation." ā€

This stupid big guy is really thick and fine! Qin Shen glanced at him.

The military city, as the name suggests, is the city of the border soldiers, the beginning of the city was built for the purpose of the soldiers, because for so many years, no matter how many people live in the clouds, for various reasons the garrison has not moved out of the city.

For several days, he had been worried that he would inevitably be under Lu Fang's nose after entering the city, so all his actions would inevitably be monitored and restricted, and it would be even more difficult for him to go out of the city to avoid all this.

Sheep into the mouth of the tiger, easy to enter the city and difficult to get out of the city, this truth is easy to see how he does not understand.

But now Cheng Xiong has given him a chance, so that he can leave the horses outside the city in a grand manner, and tomorrow he only needs to find a reason to perfunctory, and then directly pull the soldiers out of the city to practice, what can Lu Fang do to him?

At the same time, he was really tired of this kind of hypocritical pretense and politeness, and at this moment, he really couldn't ask for this opportunity to let him hide outside the city as rarely as possible.

The crowd marched for about a quarter of an hour and arrived at the camp outside the city before dark.

The battalion is only used for the whole army in August every year to take the big test, and it is usually discarded and not used, so although it is lenient, it is simple and dilapidated, and the school field is overgrown with withered grass and desolate.

People want to learn to live in peace, Qin Shen didn't care about this, and happily led everyone to clean up a few houses in full swing, and dealt with it overnight.

Early the next morning.

Accompanied by Qu Han and Cao Jin, the three of them rode their horses towards Cloud City again, and after the explanation of the two along the way, they finally knew its origin.

Yunzhong City is the first big city in the north, it is the place where the two major rivers of Wuquan water and Daqu water flow through, the Zhao people built a city here during the Warring States Period, and dug a moat to divert the river water to surround it into a natural barrier, so that this Yunzhong county seat is more easy to defend and difficult to attack as stable as Mount Tai, and has become the bridgehead of the Northern Yuhu people.

At that time, the famous Li Mu was stationed here to resist the attack and harassment of the Hu people in the north.

Unexpectedly, the famous generals of the Warring States were also stationed here! Qin Shen sighed slightly, and when the matter was settled, he also began to seriously look at the towering ancient city in front of him.

Compared with Wuquan Pass, Yunzhong City is three or four times larger, the moat is deep and wide, the city walls are high and thick, the flags fluttering on the city tower are full of guards, and the atmosphere is solemn.

The three of them reported their names to the city gate guards and handed over the military badges, which were naturally moved by everyone, and then they were in awe.

For these, he is now accustomed to it, in addition to lamenting the horror of public opinion, the rest is to ask them where the Taishou Mansion is, and then ride away.

Walking through the main road in the city, which is still somewhat impressive, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart and walked towards the inner city, and the surrounding streets were much more deserted than last time, perhaps because of the arrival of winter.

Looking at the sword-bearers occasionally walking on the street, Qin Shen suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Qu, do you say that if you form an army of these rangers, will they be more powerful than ordinary soldiers?" ā€

"Why does Brother Qin have such thoughts?!" Qu Han was stunned when he heard this, and reminded after a while: "The ranger is casual and unruly, the most difficult to control, the battlefield pays attention to orders and prohibitions, how can they do it, Brother Qin still took advantage of this idea to dispel this thought." ā€

Qin Shen shrugged and smiled, explaining: "I just saw their sudden ideas, but I didn't really want to take action, Brother Qu was too worried. ā€

"I think it's okay." Cao Jin interjected in a muffled voice.

Qin Shen's eyes flashed slightly, and he said curiously, "What do you think differently?" ā€

Cao Jin said with admiration and yearning: "Back then, General Li Ling Li led 5,000 foot soldiers to fight 80,000 Huns for more than ten days, and the soldiers he led were rangers and thieves, this kind of person was the most ferocious and ruthless, and there were almost ten enemies on the battlefield, that is, they fled in rout, and there were not more than 1,000 people who returned to the Central Plains, and there was no need for any rules at all. ā€

"That was before, but now it's different." Qu Han shook his head and retorted, and then analyzed: "At that time, the ranger thieves were suppressed by Emperor Wu, and it was not against General Li to kill the wives and concubines who accompanied them, but now that these forces are rising again and the good and the bad are mixed, now you can provoke them to try, maybe it will be exposed." ā€

"This ......" Cao Jin scratched his head and hesitated, after all, he had never traveled the world and didn't know much about the rangers, and this kind of thing was also very difficult to assume.

Qin Shen smiled narrowly at his appearance, and said with relief: "Don't think about it, we don't have the right to recruit soldiers, let alone really recruit rangers. ā€

While laughing, the three of them entered the inner city, and when they looked at it, the style was very different from that of the outer city.

The inner city is the political center of a city, and most of the people living in it are wealthy and noble, so compared with the bustle of the outer city, the inner city is much quieter.

The Taishou Mansion is the most magnificent mansion in the inner city, and when the three of them came to the mansion, they saw that the vermilion gate and high courtyard wall were much more luxurious and magnificent than the mansion that Wu Han had purchased in Yuyang.

Qin Shen reported his name to the guard, and in less than a moment, the steward of the Taishou Mansion greeted him.

Cao Jin Qu Han has his own reception by others, and he walks in behind the steward, along the way carved and carved and painted corridors and deep courtyards, maidservants are busy walking through it, the pavilions and small pavilions in the courtyard are surrounded by gardens, and it is still lush and green when the cold winter is approaching.

Looking into the depths, you can see that there is a courtyard wall partition behind the front yard, and the pavilions and pavilions are faintly visible, which is probably more gorgeous than the front yard.

Suddenly coming from the desolate suburbs to such a magnificent mansion, and then thinking of the street scene of the inner city, he had to sigh, perhaps it was the oppression of these official mansions and wealthy families that finally led to the precarious livelihood of today's people.

I don't know if it was to show his intimacy or his casual habits, Lu Fang actually met him in the study in the front yard, and he naturally showed sincere fear in the face of Lu Fang's cordial politeness, and the conversation seemed to be going on in a friendly atmosphere.

Lu Fangruo looked at him casually for a moment, his eyes shot out two sharp rays of light for a moment, and he said indifferently: "I heard that Ziyi rushed to hundreds of war horses yesterday?" ā€

Play this trick with me! Qin Shen snorted coldly in his heart, but his face was immediately accompanied by an exclamation of "ah", showing admiration and disbelief for his clever calculations, and he lost his voice: "I am about to repay my humble position, but I don't want you to know about it. ā€

In just a moment, he put on such a complicated expression, even he couldn't help but admire himself, and secretly said that if he trained in this ghost place for two more years, I am afraid that I will be able to take the little golden man when I go back!

And Lu Fang's exaggerated reaction to him was also a hint of embarrassment, and he coughed dryly to cover it up: "It's just that Cheng Xiong happened to come and casually mention something." ā€

After a pause, he asked lightly, "Where did Ziyi get so many war horses?" ā€

"Oh!" Qin Shenxing turned around and put away his look of admiration, and explained: "Captain Dou remembered that it was not easy for me to fight that day, so he moved nearly half of the horses from the Wuquan army to send me. ā€

"He's generous." Lu Fang's face flashed with resentment, and he said kindly: "How does Ziyi want to place these horses?" ā€

Qin Shen was unaware of the hint to him, and said bluntly: "I am ready to distribute the horses to the thief hunting army. ā€

Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, and said with a slight displeasure: "Do you need to equip horses to patrol the city and catch thieves?" ā€

Qin Shen sighed and said bitterly: "Since the humble post was appointed by the envoy, he was worried and uneasy, lest he live up to the high expectations of the envoy, he thought about it day and night, and finally found that if he wanted to capture thieves and achieve excellent results, it must be cavalry. ā€

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Fang was at a loss when she heard this.

"Those bandits are generally nimble, if they are caught by foot soldiers, they are already physically exhausted under long-term patrols, how can they catch up with each other? Therefore, they can only sit on horseback and wait for work, and then how can they outrun the horses when they encounter thieves again? Moreover, the power of the cavalry can deter Xiaoxiao, so that he does not dare to act rashly and prevent trouble before it happens. ā€

Drawing on the patrol cars of later generations, Qin Shen peeked at his reaction after saying a large series of theories, and said in his heart I want to see how you argue, but he was speechless for a while.

At this point, he hurriedly struck the iron while it was hot and put forward the suggestion of pulling the soldiers out of the city to train, and gave the reason for the need for training for twelve hours a day, which is nothing more than that night patrols naturally need to practice cavalry riding skills and reactions at night, etc., and in the city such behavior will definitely disturb the people and disturb the army, and it is most convenient to pull out of the city.

Lu Fang's expression was gloomy when she heard this, and her face seemed to be about to attack.

"That's right!" Seeing this, Qin Shen suddenly remembered to divert the topic and said: "When I entered the city with a humble position, I heard that other fortresses in the clouds also suffered heavy losses in the Xiongnu Koubian, I wonder if the envoy has already recruited enough soldiers?" ā€

Lu Fang's complexion slowed down when she heard this, and she sighed and said, "No, what can Mo Fei Ziyi do?" ā€

Qin Shen smiled faintly embarrassed, and said ashamedly: "The lowly position is not talented, but it is also thanks to the Wuquan soldiers who have a little reputation, or let the lowly position recruit troops for the envoy?" ā€

Lu Fang's eyes flashed and he glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and smiled: "It's okay, with your reputation, you should be able to recruit a lot of soldiers, hmm......"

Shen groaned and said lightly: "As for the matter of going out of the city for training, according to what you said, the original military Sima in the ministry served as your deputy, how about it?" ā€

I've exchanged them with you, and I still want to stick a nail! Qin Shen scolded secretly, hurriedly agreed, and then spoke hypocritically and politely to him, and left.
