Chapter 128: Shi Zhan's entrustment
Qin Wan turned to look at Shi Min, stepped back as she spoke, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm just kidding you, you just know?" Big stupid! ”
"Watch me catch you!" Shi Min said that he pretended to catch Qin Wan, and Qin Wan ran away when he saw this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The two were playing and chasing, and suddenly Wang Shicheng's voice came from afar: "Xiao Min~"
When Shi Min and Qin Wan heard Wang Shicheng's voice, they hurriedly stopped playing, pretended that nothing had happened, and walked towards Wang Shicheng together.
"Xiao Min! Hurry up, hurry up! Wang Shicheng shouted as he ran over.
"Third uncle, what's going on?" Shi Min saw Wang Shicheng hurriedly running over, and hurriedly asked.
"Go back! The front line came to report, just now His Majesty sent someone over, and the general asked everyone to discuss the big tent. Wang Shicheng shouted at Shi Min.
Shi Min hurriedly ran to the barracks, just ran a few steps, turned around and shouted to Qin Wan: "You go back to the house first, wait for me to come back!" ”
Qin Wan stood in the wind and nodded hurriedly, she looked at Shi Min's back gradually moving away, a few strands of hair fluttering, covering those clear eyes, and also covering reluctance and helplessness.
"The emergency military situation ahead, the situation is a little unexpected......" Shi Zhan said, seeing Wang Shicheng and Shi Min coming in, he glanced at it, and continued: "Thirty thousand Hu people have crossed the river to the east, and it is not clear whether their intentions are in the clouds or Li Cheng, but another 10,000 people are marching from Hexi to Li Cheng, 10,000 more than the news we learned before, the defenders of Li Cheng have already fought with the Huns, Your Majesty has issued an order, the military situation is urgent, and the troops will go out early tomorrow morning!" ”
"Yes!" The lieutenant generals replied in unison.
"Just in case, Li Chang! You go and order 5,000 more soldiers! Let's go tomorrow! ”
"Yes!" Li Chang stood up solemnly and nodded in response.
"On this expedition, all 10,000 cavalry are under the command of Wang Shicheng, with Li Chang's assistance, do you understand!"
"Understood!"
"Mr. Qin, when will the grain, grass and horses from the military department arrive?" Shi Zhan turned his face and asked Qin Huaishan, who was recording on the side.
Qin Huaishan stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head, thought about it, and replied, "I'm afraid it will be tomorrow afternoon." ”
Shi Zhan frowned slightly, and said to Wang Shicheng: "Second brother! You go to the military department now and tell You Jian that before the fifth watch of tomorrow, the things must be delivered! Otherwise, I will go to His Majesty and read a copy of him. ”
"The last general obeys!" Li Chang got up and walked out of the big tent first.
"This time, Zhao attacked passively, and the initiative was in the hands of the Huns and Qiang, and I don't know how long it took. Now is not the time for the autumn to be high and the horses are fat, and the green and yellow are not connected, I hope you should cherish the horsepower along the way, and do not gallop the horses. Shi Zhan said to everyone.
"Big brother, this time we dispatched 10,000 cavalry, but half of our family is covered, will this be a little ......" Wang Shicheng whispered on the side.
"What's the point? The Huns have a blood debt of our brothers in their hands! Have you forgotten what happened nineteen years ago? Even if you break your teeth this time, you'll have to bite a piece of flesh off the Huns for me. Shi Zhan looked at Wang Shicheng solemnly, and knocked twice on the table with his right hand.
Shi Min watched everyone from the sidelines without saying a word, and in this serious and tense atmosphere, he began to slowly appreciate the solemn aura of real war.
The battle between Shi Zhan's army and the Huns, Shi Min had heard Xu San talk about it before, this was an extremely tragic battle, 60,000 troops, and in the end only less than 10,000 people survived, how can the blood feud be forgotten?
"Pass the order, light the fire on the third watch, cook on the fourth watch, and set off on the fifth watch."
"Yes!" The people stood up and replied.
After Shi Zhan finished giving the order, everyone also went out to make their own arrangements. Shi Min was about to turn around and go out, when Shi Zhan shouted, "Shi Min, you stay!" ”
Shi Min was stunned for a moment, nodded, and walked back again.
"Sit down and talk." Shi Zhan stretched out his hand to signal.
The father and son sat opposite each other, and Shi Zhan poured a bowl of wine for Shi Min and a bowl for himself.
"Father! Alcohol is forbidden in the army! Shi Min said lightly.
Shi Zhan glanced at him, took a sip, and said, "I'm not a general now, let's just talk about father and son." ”
Shi Min nodded, picked up the wine bowl with both hands, and said to Shi Zhan: "Father, please!" ”
Shi Zhan smiled, picked up the wine bowl again, touched the bowl with the father and son, and then drank it all. Shi Min put down the wine bowl and reached out to take the wine jar, but Shi Zhan held it down with one hand, and Shi Zhan said:
"Drink one bowl today, and the rest will wait for your father to triumph!"
Shi Min smiled and said, "Then you have to put away this jar of wine, I'm ready to drink it." ”
Shi Zhan took his hand away, and then asked, "I'm about to leave tomorrow, do you have any cowardice in your heart?" ”
"The child has been taught by his father for many years, practicing martial arts and reading, in order to go into battle to kill the enemy, and at this moment he only has courage in his heart, not timidity." Shi Min said solemnly.
Shi Zhan looked at Shi Min's high-spirited and firm expression, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Don't underestimate the Huns, back then, Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu, and the horse stepped on Qilian Mountain, a large part of the reason was that the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was well equipped, so the Huns could be beaten so badly." The current Zhao State is not the Han Dynasty of the year, and the Xiongnu are also the Xiongnu of the year, so you must not be reckless and underestimate the enemy. ”
"Father, can you tell me how the Huns marched and fought?" Shi Min asked.
Shi Zhan took a deep breath, stood up, was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "The Huns are all good at riding and shooting, and when they get on the horse, the horse seems to grow on their buttocks, and it is extremely flexible. Their cavalry advanced in a haphazard formation, sometimes in groups of a dozen, sometimes in groups of hundreds. Don't rush after them, be sure to see the terrain and their retreating formations before deciding whether to pursue them or not. The way the Huns fought wars, like the wolves, was cunning and changeable, often coming and going without a trace, once they saw the right time, they would never be soft. ”
"Father seems to have a good opinion of the Huns." Shi Min looked up and said.
Shi Zhan sighed deeply and said: "Back then, my father misjudged the intentions of the Huns, resulting in a heavy siege, although all the soldiers fought hard, after all, they suffered heavy losses, this is the only defeat in my father's life, and it is also the worst one. ”
Shi Min looked at Shi Zhan's sad and serious expression, and couldn't help but feel a little more pressure in his heart.
"Don't feel pressured, your second and third uncles have followed me for many years and have rich experience, as long as you don't make low-level mistakes, even if you can't win, you won't have a big loss. The 10,000 cavalry sent out this time are the elite of the 40,000 brothers, all of whom have returned alive from many years of fighting on the battlefield, and in terms of courage and martial arts, they are definitely stronger than King Qing's cavalry. ”
Shi Min stood up and said solemnly to Shi Zhan: "This child has never doubted, father rest assured, this battle will definitely avenge those soldiers who died in the battle nineteen years ago." ”
Shi Zhan nodded solemnly, patted Shi Min's shoulder, and said, "You remember, the key to cavalry combat is to be fast!" Improvise! ”
"The father's teachings, the children take them to heart. By the way, why did my father send the second uncle to the military department today to urge the grain, grass, soldiers and horses, didn't you let the third uncle go last time I dealt with the military department? ”
Shi Zhan smiled and said, "Sending your second uncle is naturally useful." ”
"What's the point?" Shi Min was puzzled, he knew that Li Chang had a hot temper, and it was very likely that he would make a big fuss about the military department when he sent him, and he really didn't understand his father's approach.
"The military situation is urgent, You Jian is King Qing's person, let him allocate grain, grass, soldiers and horses for us, he will definitely be able to drag it out, His Majesty suddenly ordered the troops, and I can only urge him. Let your second uncle go, his fiery temper can suppress You Jian, but this is definitely going to grudge with him. ”
"Originally, this You Jian also had a bad relationship with his father, so if he offends, he will be offended, as long as we don't have any handle to catch him, he won't dare to do anything to us."
Shi Zhan nodded and said, "Your Third Uncle Xu will send you the sword and halberd that you usually use well, so that you don't feel uncomfortable with other weapons." ”
When Shi Min heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Father is thoughtful! That's for the best! ”
Shi Zhan smiled, turned around and was about to sit down, when he suddenly asked, "Father asks you, do you have a crush on Miss Qin?" ”
Shi Min was stunned for a moment, he didn't know that Shi Zhan would suddenly ask him this question, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Shi Zhan looked at Shi Min's somewhat wooden appearance, couldn't help but smile, and said, "What? Have the courage to go to the battlefield, but don't have the courage to say this? ”
"No, no, no!" Shi Min explained with some embarrassment: "Actually, Miss Qin and I are ......."
"That's it! Being a father is also from your age, can you still see that little bit of caution? Shi Zhan interrupted Shi Min's words, and then continued: "If you can make a contribution this time, when you come back, I will ask Li's mother to find Mr. Qin as a matchmaker for your father." ”
"Why are you looking for Mama Li?" Shi Min didn't understand it for a while.
"On Chinese New Year's Eve, Mama Li has already said in front of everyone that she wants to be a matchmaker, who will she find if she doesn't look for her?"
"Father, how did you know about this? Didn't you go back to your room early to sleep? Shi Min asked in surprise.
