"Hah!" Finally, with this shout, the balance between the two sides was broken, and a strong man of Su Guo slammed his opponent to the ground, crushing him under him so that he could not get up.

"Good, good, good! We won! Some of the soldiers in this circle shouted happily, and it seemed that they had made the right bet.

"Hey, that's obsessive! The talisman given by that miscellaneous old man doesn't work, Lao Tzu hasn't won once! The other soldier was clearly losing, and was complaining at another soldier who was also losing.

Zhu Ao, like Lao Zhu, strictly forbids gambling, because gambling makes people fantasize about getting something for nothing, if everyone is obsessed with him, then no one will produce, and the country will not be rich and strong, but it will be very barren, but special affairs, when he was in the army, Zhu Ao turned a blind eye, after all, the soldiers fought with their heads, and no one dared to guarantee that they could live until tomorrow, so they began to have fun at every opportunity, so as to enjoy the time of life, and there were no women in the army, gambling became their biggest entertainment hobby. In fact, fighting a war is also gambling in a sense, and you never know what will happen in the next moment.

Zhu Ao will not deprive the soldiers of this most basic entertainment hobby, otherwise it will be too inhumane, to say that it is hard to hear is fucked, once your soldiers think you are very fucked, then this battle really does not need to be fought, pack up and go home as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to be shot by his subordinates.

The soldiers around that circle just wanted to bet on the next game, I don't know which sharp-eyed person found Zhu Ao, and he was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he bowed his head excitedly as if he saw his idol, and shouted: "The villain sees the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" He never dreamed that the prince, who was usually regarded as a god by himself, would appear by his side today and be so close to him.

After this little soldier shouted, everyone reacted, knelt on the ground and shouted: "The villain sees the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

Although they were gambling and did things that Zhu Ao didn't like, there was no fear on everyone's faces, because gambling was common in the army, and they had never seen the officers take care of it, and they even participated in it personally, which shows that Zhu Ao acquiesced in this matter.

"Get up. The rise of your just play, don't let the arrival of this king affect your interest. Zhu Ao didn't raise his hand to help them, but just said this lightly, because he could see from his military rank that the highest official position in this group of people was a hundred households, and he was not qualified to go to him to help them. The prince should have a prince's shelf, and if Corporal Lixian is too excessive, people will look down on you.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" This group of officers and men stood up one after another, and the formation was very untidy, because it was entertainment time, everyone was very casual, this situation was a normal situation, and no one would investigate it.

The hundred households in the crowd were obviously the head of this group of soldiers, and after standing up after saluting, he took a few steps forward, came to Zhu Ao, gave him a military salute, and said respectfully: "What did the prince say?" It is an honor for the villains to be able to come to us, how can you say that it is a disappointment? ”

Zhu Ao smiled faintly, took the branch in the hand of a soldier, threw it into the fire very casually, and said, "You continue to play, don't stop." ”

In this circle of soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, and finally they all set their eyes on their hundred households, the meaning is very obvious, if there is a problem, look for a leader.

That Baihu is also really difficult, although Zhu Ao told them how to play and how to play, but can the prince be the same as the prince is not there? The prince is here, they dare to completely let go to play, and when the time comes, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of foul language coming out, isn't that a great disrespect to the prince? I didn't know what to say for a while, I just smirked at Zhu Ao.

Zhu Ao looked at the extremely obscene expression of the hundred households, and swept around the dozens of soldiers, naturally guessing what they thought, he casually found a stone and sat down, lazily spread his legs and said, "Since you don't want to play now, let's play later." How about this king talk to you about family life? ”

This thing is rare, I have never heard of the prince taking the initiative to talk to the little soldiers, these dozens of soldiers have come to the interest, and suddenly surrounded Zhu Ao's side, and said in a chattering voice: "What the prince wants to talk about, just give orders, the little ones know everything." "yes, yes. Lord Wang, not only ours, but also those trivial things in other people's homes, if the prince wants to hear them, we can also tell them to the prince. ”

Zhu Ao looked at this group of unpretentious soldiers, most of them were about the same age as themselves, just the one hundred households were older, only in their thirties, such a good age, they should have slept with their wives at home and have children, but they ran so far away to work for themselves, and a warm current also rose in their hearts, and asked very kindly: "This king looked at you face to face, you are the new army formed later." ”

"The prince is really good eyesight." The hundred households preemptively said, he didn't want to miss such a rare opportunity to get close to the supreme leader in vain, after this village, there would be no such shop, in case the prince took a fancy to himself, then wouldn't he soar? Although the probability of this kind of thing is very small, but you still have to have a dream to be a man, what if it comes true, I unconsciously got closer to the prince, and smiled with a little flattery: "The little ones are the newly formed Jingyu avant-garde, and these brothers are also from all over the world." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Ao was interested for a while, looked around at the dozens of soldiers for a week with a smile, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said with a face listening to the report: "Tell this king, where are you from?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, I am from Huguang, I followed my brother to Suguo to develop, I like full feet since I was a child, this time the king expanded the army, and our first chief recommended me out, saying that following the king can make great contributions and marry a beautiful aunt." When an ordinary soldier saw Zhu Ao ask like this, it was really difficult to hide the excitement in his heart, and he was very excited to rush ahead of others and report loudly.

His naivety caused the nearby Ming army to laugh, and even Zhu Ao couldn't help but laugh a few times, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you make a meritorious service, this king will definitely assign you a beautiful girl from Hami." ”

After the last attack on the sandbar and several other small tribes, many meritorious soldiers have married the local more beautiful girls, which really made all the bachelors in the military camp envious, hearing the king's promise, everyone's heart is ready to move, and their hearts are like cat's claws.

The soldier who reported his home was even more like an old cat who had been hungry for several days and saw a fish, and said to Zhu Ao with a flattering face: "Really? Your Highness, if we make a meritorious service, will you really find us a beautiful mother-in-law? "They know that after this war, the number of strong men in Hami will definitely decrease a lot, and there will definitely be many women for them to choose from at this time, but the question is who marries a wife and doesn't want to marry a beautiful one, even if they can't do any work, they are comfortable just looking at their hearts at home.

Zhu Ao looked at the soldier's impatient look, and his heart was unhappy, this way of encouraging morale is also very effective, and even more effective than money and officials in some cases, and said with a straight face: "This king will do what he says, and his orders are like mountains!" When did I deceive you, if you can't find a beautiful mother-in-law in the future, just come to this king, this king will find you, and you will be satisfied. ”

"Thank you, King!" The honest soldier gave a solemn military salute to Zhu Ao and said solemnly. In an instant, it attracted a burst of laughter from the surrounding companions.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh. What are you laughing at, don't tell me you don't like beautiful mothers-in-law? The soldier was a little embarrassed by the laughter of his companions, and he jerked up straight, waving his fist at them.

Zhu Ao was also amused by their coaxing behavior, shook his head with a slight smile, slowly stood up, and just wanted to say goodbye to them, but he didn't expect this honest soldier to be interested, and he didn't see the slightest meaning that Zhu Ao wanted to leave, and he entangled it again, and asked Zhu Ao with a look of curiosity: "I heard the elders in the village say that it is very comfortable to sleep with my aunt, the king, you have so many aunts-in-law, you must know whether it is true or not, isn't it?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, bastard!" As soon as his centurion heard the brainless soldier say a word that had been struck by lightning, he was so frightened that he didn't even think about it, and when he went up, he kicked the stupid soldier in the head.

"Hey. Don't be careless, it's normal for small children to be curious about this. Zhu Ao, who came from later generations, was not so disgusted by this problem, he knew that at this stage of human development, it was normal to think about such a problem, and it would be normal if he didn't want to, so he hurriedly stopped the centurion. This little incident also reminded him that in the future, it is necessary to popularize sexual knowledge in Suguo, and also let girls go to school, reduce the illiteracy rate in Suguo to 0, and let Suguo's excellent mother give birth to generations of excellent people for him.

Zhu Ao smiled slightly and pulled up the soldier who was kicked down by the centurion, the soldier seemed to realize that he had committed a great crime of disrespect, changed his talkative expression at the beginning, was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, and looked straight at Zhu Ao with extremely frightened eyes.

Zhu Ao patted the dust on his body to show that he would not blame him, and then quipped in a very kind tone: "You don't know if you feel comfortable, what is the use of what others say?" Hami is a place where beautiful women come out, don't you think that Princess Shao'an is very beautiful? Don't be picky when the time comes. ”

The matter of him and Di Linaza has already spread throughout the entire Su country, and has become a major topic of conversation before and after tea, and these soldiers naturally know that in a sense, this battle is fought for this woman, it doesn't matter if the prince makes fun of her, other people don't dare to talk about her.

The honest soldier saw that the prince had no intention of curing his crimes, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, raised his right hand and touched the back of his head, and smiled stupidly: "Of course the princess is beautiful." It is only a nobleman like the prince who deserves her. ”

Zhu Ao laughed, I didn't expect this kid to go on the road so quickly, it seems that the kick was not in vain, and he smashed his chest with his fist and said with a smile: "Her maids are also very good, if you make meritorious contributions, this king will reward you with a maid as a wife." ”

"Really? The little one thanked the prince, the prince is a thousand years old! This soldier was so excited that he almost forgot what his name was, he had been on duty at the city gate, and he had seen Di Linaza's maid, not to mention that he was really a race and a pretty, if he was a poor soldier and could marry a beautiful maid to be a beautiful lady, it would be worth his life.

Zhu Ao patted the excited soldier on the shoulder, with a noble and confident smile on his face, and said, "Of course it's true." Go on, this king will go to another place. ”

"The villain sends off the prince!" When these dozens of soldiers saw that the prince was leaving, they shouted at Zhu Ao while saluting.

Zhu Ao left straight away with his hands, and did not let them be even, these people were his own private soldiers, not outsiders who invited to help, and all the eating, drinking, and Lazar were all handled by King Su, so there was no need to be too polite to them.

Zhu Ao took the pro-army guards to inspect the camp again, and saw that his camp was solid, and all the soldiers were sticking to their posts, so he was very relieved, and after instructing the generals who were on vigil for a few words, he took people back to his barracks to rest.

After returning to the barracks, Zhu Ao had not yet spoken, and the guards who had been following him for a long time already knew that it was time for the prince to rest, so he immediately stepped forward to remove the heavy armor of more than 50 catties on Zhu Ao's body, and after the prince sat on the head of the bed, he knelt down to help him take off his boots, and then turned around and left, and walked to the door of the camp to stand guard.

Zhu Ao stretched a big lazy waist, picked up the wine glass that had already been poured on the table and drank it all, and then lay on his marching bed, hugged his hands behind his head, crossed Erlang's legs, and began to take a nap, if nothing else, it would be time to attack the village tomorrow, for the Su army with weak troops, this will definitely be a vicious battle. But even so, he has to rise to the challenge and cross this obstacle, because if he can't defeat the Ukul, he may also lose the strategic place he just obtained, Hami, and his woman may be snatched away by the enemy, which is not only an immeasurable loss for the development of his career, but also for his life, which Zhu Hao absolutely cannot accept.

He craves victory like never before, and desire is power.

In the early morning of the next day, it was the time to attack the troops, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army all stood silently at their posts, everyone was doing their own things carefully, and they didn't dare to make a sound, because they knew that the prince was about to be furious, and if he did something wrong at this time, he would hit the muzzle of the gun, and he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Sure enough, after Zhu Ao was dressed neatly, he came to the general's flag and looked at the Uighur army on the opposite side, a handsome face was suddenly pulled down, his face was cold, and the anger in his eyes was obvious, and it was about to shoot out, which made people daunted, and shouted with a tiger face: "Who was the commander who was responsible for monitoring the opposite side last night?" Bring him to this king! ”

This loud shout shook the hearts of the nearby soldiers, they had never seen the prince so angry, it seemed that the person today could not hide, he must see blood to settle this matter.

Because in front of the Uighur army, a high stone wall appeared, which wrapped the passage filled in by the Ming army yesterday in an arc, which means that even if the Ming army completely filled in the passage today and rushed through the passage, their front would be blocked by this stone wall, and they would still not be able to go straight to the camp. How does this make Zhu Ao not angry? This is equivalent to yesterday's day's work in vain, and so many outstanding Ming army soldiers sacrificed in vain.

This is the reason why he couldn't afford to bombard the Ming army on the opposite side yesterday without a catapult, because he could see that under the cover of superior firepower, it was only a matter of time before the Ming army filled the trench, and it would not have a big impact if one more day or one less day. What he was distressed about was not the stone thrower, as the captain said, if it reached the point of hand-to-hand combat, then the role of the stone thrower was really not great; What he feels sorry for is the stones, and if he throws them out, what will he do to build a stone wall? Although the boulder falling from the sky could also cause damage to the Ming army, he believed that this damage was far less than the trouble caused to the Ming army by this strong stone wall.

The inspiration for the city was the ditch in the city of Di Linazha, his double-layer defense system had caused his siege troops to suffer huge losses, and today he has also done the same, with the way of others, and also to Zhu Ao.

According to Zhu Ao's military deployment, Qu Neng is responsible for taking charge of military discipline, at this time he naturally brought people over, coincidentally the commander Yuan Datong who was responsible for monitoring the opposite side last night is his old subordinate, and his feelings are very deep, and this person is very brave in battle, won Qu Neng's love, the disadvantage is that he is more careless, Qu Neng has warned him many times, he doesn't care, thinking that the military general is doing the work of killing people and setting fires, and not embroidery, what's the big deal if he's not careful? This time, I finally got a big hit.

Although Qu Neng couldn't bear to see his old subordinate being dealt with by military law, when he saw that Zhu Ao was so angry, he naturally didn't dare to openly shield him, so he could only take a few personal guards and walk to the camp of the commander and bring him to Zhu Ao.

The commander Yuan Datong opened his eyes in the morning and saw a strong stone wall in front of the opponent's military formation, and in a semicircle, the passage that the Ming army had worked hard to almost fill in yesterday was wrapped, and he knew in his heart that it was over, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass this pass today, and you didn't notice such a big movement on the other side, what are you eating? What's the use of raising you?

Actually, Ye Bushu, who was in charge of observation at the front line last night, had already reported to him that there was a clanging sound in the opposite battalion, and he didn't know what he was doing? However, Yuan Datong, who had always been careless, did not care, it was just a little noise, what was the big deal, there were more than 100,000 Uighur troops in the military camp opposite, and it was normal to make some noise, but it was abnormal if there was no sound, and no further reconnaissance action was taken at that time, but only ordered his subordinates to be vigilant to prevent the enemy from raiding the camp at night. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, the other party actually made such a big project, Yuan Datong stomped his feet in anger and scolded: "It's really unlucky!" "However, things have come to this point, it is useless to say anything, no matter how you justify the charge of dereliction of duty, you can't escape, wait to eat military law.

Qu Neng came to the camp guarded by Yuan Datong with his own soldiers, his face was very ugly, and he asked him to catch his own brother with his own hands, no one would be uncomfortable with this matter, after seeing Yuan Datong in the place, he couldn't help but feel a violent anger in his heart, and he reprimanded him with a face that hated iron and steel: "How many times has Lao Tzu usually told you, let you be careful, be careful, you just don't listen, now it's okay, poke such a big basket!" ”

Yuan Datong, who was standing at the gate of the camp waiting for Qu Neng, had long since lost his previous arrogant expression, like a defeated rooster, shrugged his head, and no longer dared to play with Qu Neng's hippie smile, and said listlessly: "My subordinates didn't expect this Uighur to be so cunning. ”

Qu Neng glanced at him angrily, pursed his lips, snorted heavily, let out the stuffiness in his chest, and said lightly: "It's too late to say anything now, go and see the prince with me." I'll intercede for you. ”

The matter has come to this, and it can only be like this, this can be regarded as the most Qu Neng can do for him, Yuan Datong completely lost his temper, threw the sword in his hand to the ground, and said to Qu Neng with a decadent face: "Thank you, big brother." ”

Qu Neng couldn't bear this big brother's call, but when things got to this point, what could he do? No one else can be blamed for this, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame Yuan Datong for being too careless, and taking his usual warnings as a deaf ear, so that there was such a catastrophe, he sighed helplessly, waved his hand at the guards behind him, and said, "Tie him up, follow me to see the prince." ”

In fact, it's okay not to tie it, but at this time, the posture must be lowered a little, so as to show a sincere and repentant attitude, maybe the prince will be soft in heart, and he will be lightly dropped.

Yuan Datong has been in the army for so many years, how can he not know Qu Neng's intentions, he glanced at Qu Neng very gratefully, automatically put his hands behind his back, and let the two Qu Neng's personal guards tie him up.

Qu Neng took Yuan Datong to Zhu Ao's side, pulled his arm hard, pulled Yuan Datong over, kicked him in the crook of his calf, and shouted: "Kneel!" ”

Yuan Datong knelt in front of Zhu Ao with a "plop", his hands were tied behind his back, he buried his head low, and said to Zhu Ao with a look of shame and panic: "The sin will Yuan Datong see the prince." The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old! ”

Zhu Ao's anger had not subsided, he stared at Yuan Datong with a pair of angry eyes, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, the muscles on his face continued to twitch because of anger, and he spat out forcefully: "Are you guilty?" ”
