It was so cold that it seemed like winter had come to the south overnight. Since the middle of last night, fine snow particles have begun to drift in the sky.

By the early hours of this morning, the snow particles had stopped, but a thick white fog had spread over the river, and the visibility was less than 30 meters. The river breeze blew, and those mist and water were like substance, rolling around the body.

The soldiers were all dressed in iron armor, and the dew on them kept rolling downward, and the horses snorted impatiently, and the knights reached out to caress their horses' necks, but the cold hands made the horses even more annoyed.

The captain tried his best to look ahead with wide eyes, but in the distance, except for white and white, the sky and the earth were vast, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

An officer walked up to Sun Yuan and arched his hand: "Master Hou, the fog is too big, there is no way to sail at all, so I can only temporarily stop at the Guanyinmen pier and wait for the fog to clear."

。 ”

Sun Yuan tightened the big skulls on his body and yawned loudly, his eyes glistening with tears. looked lazy: "Okay, wait and talk." However, seeing that the fog is like this, it must be clear in the afternoon, and if I knew this, it would be better to sleep in the house until noon. ”

Sun Yuan's words made the guards around him look at each other, and they didn't know what to say. It is already an open secret that Hou Ye is greedy for food and sleep, but that is in private. If in front of the soldiers, or when the army is marching and fighting, the Hou Ye gets up earlier than he sleeps, and before dawn, he will go to the field to set an example and go out to exercise with the soldiers. You haven't seen this situation today. I think that Hou Ye was subjected to the feudalism of the court yesterday, and his heart was happy, and he forgot his form for a while, right?

The accession to the throne of Fu Fan was accidentally delayed for half a month, and this group of Jiangbei men were also tired of staying in the capital, so they just wanted to end the matter earlier and go back to Nantong.

Yesterday, Hongguang Tianzi finally inherited the great treasure, and after returning from the palace, the Hou Ye ordered the cavalry troops who entered Beijing with him to pack up. It was early in the morning today, and just after midnight, the horses and baggage had all been loaded.

It's a pity that the fog is too fierce to go at all.

At this moment, more than 1,000 large and small ships were parked on the Yangtze River outside the Guanyin Gate, and the soldiers and horses of the other three towns in Jiangbei also boarded the boats. Gao Jie, Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing are like arrows like arrows in their hearts like arrows like Sun Yuan, for them, no matter how the personnel of the imperial court changes, who will be in power in the future, they will have to use the soldiers at hand anyway. Compared with the court dispute, Jiangbei's chassis is their foundation. Now that the spoils distribution meeting has been held, the most important time is to return to the defense area as soon as possible, enclose the territory, reorganize the troops and horses, appoint officials, and prepare for the Northern Expedition.

The discipline of the soldiers and horses of the three towns was corrupt, and unlike the silent cavalry of Yangzhou Town, he stayed on the ship for a long time, and his heart was already impatient, and they all made trouble. For a while, the sound of cursing, laughter, and the neighing of the war horse were mixed.

It is estimated that the boat will not be able to drive for a while, and most of the soldiers and horses in the three towns are northerners, who are not good at water, and they have been shaking their brains for a long time on the boat. One by one, they ran ashore and set up wood on the dock and lit a bonfire to keep warm.

For a while, the eyes were full of firelight and soldiers who drank and played money, and it was really boiling. The defenders guarding the Guanyin Gate turned pale with shock, and shrank on the dock tremblingly, for fear of causing the displeasure of these military masters and eating other people's old fists.

Fu Shan smiled: "Taichu, why don't you and I go back to the cabin and wait for the fog to disperse." Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove. If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? Although there is no snow today, the white mist looks quite emotional. ”

Sun Yuan tightened the clothes on his body again, and said with a smile: "Lord Qing is really an elegant person, this suggestion is very good."

。 But he didn't move, and said: "On such a cold day, being able to go back to the cabin to eat and drink to the fire and talk about poetry is indeed a great joy in life." However, so many soldiers were frozen on the ship, but Ben Hou ran to warm himself up, as if it was wrong. ”

Fu Shan laughed: "What Taichu said is that when the army marches, it is natural to share weal and woe with the soldiers. In other words, it is comfortable to hide in the cabin, but you can't see the majestic scenery on the river. ”

Seeing that Sun Yuan insisted on blowing the cold wind outside with the soldiers, Liu Chun, who was standing beside him, moved in his heart.

He looked closely, but saw that Sun Yuan and Fu Shan, like the other soldiers on the ship, the dew on their helmets had condensed into water and was falling down dripping, but the two of them kept their chests straight. And the soldiers of the Ningxiang Army on the ship were even more like javelins, motionless.

His heart moved: Sun Taichu was a prince, but he was able to endure hardships like soldiers, and the soldiers were not moved when they saw it, this Sun Yuan was the wind of Wu Qi in ancient times. If it were my father, I am afraid that he would have hid in the cabin a long time ago. With such a commander, I am not unjustly defeated at his hands.

Originally, Liu Chun was just a hostage of the Ningxiang Army, and he didn't have to use his hands to restrain the Yangzhou Town Army. He had been blown cold by the wind before, and he felt that the clammy cold in the south was unbearable, so he just wanted to go back to the cabin quickly and have a glass of wine to warm up. But at this moment, a spirit of refusal to admit defeat surged: Sun Taichu is not afraid, what am I afraid of, it is difficult to be compared to him.

Thinking of this, he put his feet together and puffed up his chest.

With this movement, the matching knife on his body hit the armor leaves, making a "bang" sound.

Sun Yuan turned his head and asked, "Liu Dudu, the injuries on your body are completely healed, why don't you go down and rest first, if you suffer from the wind and cold, Xia Ning will not spare me." ”

As soon as he talked about that little girl, the corners of Sun Yuan's mouth couldn't help but show a smile. （）

This time he came to Nanjing, and Sun Yuan also brought Liu Chun over. This impulsive and reckless kid has a pivotal position in Sun Yuan's future arrangement, but he is still a little naïve and still needs to be experienced. simply took it with him, although he couldn't teach him anything, but with Fu Shan, an old fox, Liu Chun was so familiar that it was difficult not to be washed.

Only when he matures can he become the commander of the first army in the future.

Liu Chun was beaten by Liu Zeqing a few days ago, and after coming to Sun Yuan, he developed a high fever

。 If it weren't for Garcia and Fu Shan, this kid might have really died of illness. Liu Zeqing gave birth to a good son, not only does he not know pity, but he is so ruthless, he is really hard as iron! Moreover, Liu Xianing has been captured by himself for so long, and Lao Liu didn't even mention it, this Liu family really didn't invite him!

Sun Yuan was a little sympathetic to the two brothers and sisters.

However, the relationship between Liu Chun and Liu Xianing is excellent, Liu Chun is very sick, Liu Xianing, the little girl, cried several times, and waited in front of his brother's bed all day long. Hearing that Sun Yuan was going to bring her eldest brother to Nanjing, she had a quarrel with Sun Yuan for a long time, and she also ran over, taking care of Sun Yuan's diet and daily life.

This is a kind and intelligent little girl, with her, adding a touch of lightness and liveliness to the strict yamen.

"Sun Hou, you are not afraid of the cold, what am I afraid of?" Liu Chun snorted: "They are all mortals in the flesh, and no one is weaker than the other." My wounds are completely healed, very strong, and now I am still covered in fever, and I don't need to go back to the cabin. Also, I am only your hostage now, and I will not mention it again when the governor says that I will not mention it later. ”

Sun Yuan was keenly aware of the anger in Liu Chun's tone, and said lightly, "The so-called hostages Yunyun is just that the four towns of Jiangbei jointly wrote to the Sixth Department of Nanjing, supporting Dai Fufan's accession to the throne. Dongpingbo is Liu Zeqing, the chief military officer of Shandong: "Now, King Fu has become the son of Hongguang, I and your father have been ministers in the same palace, Shandong Army and Ningxiang Army are the troops of my Ming Dynasty, and in the future, they will go north to restore the land, and the two families will also work together." Now, Liu Chun, you are not my hostage, you can leave whenever you want! If you want, after crossing the river today, a certain person will ask someone to send a war horse and let you go. ”

Liu Chunhuo Ran changed color: "This is true, a gentleman's words?" ”

Sun Yuan: "Whip the horse quickly." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and swore by Liu Chun's high-five.

After all, he is the dignified Marquis of Yingchuan, the chief military officer of Yangzhou Town, and in front of so many subordinates, Liu Chun naturally knows that since Sun Yuan said such a thing, he will not regret it, but he admires Sun Yuan's arrogance in his heart, and his hatred for him seems to be much weaker.

But after thinking about it, what would he do if he left Sun Yuan and went back to Huai'an. He has lost his father's trust, it is impossible to bring soldiers anymore, and it is estimated that he will stay at home in this life, be a noble son, and endure the ridicule and contempt of his brothers, is this kind of life interesting...... Does it make sense for me to go back?

For a while, Liu Chun was stunned, and he was confused in his heart

。

Seeing Liu Chun's expression, Sun Yuan knew that this second-class young man had nowhere to go. This is what he wanted, so he smiled: "Actually, Liu Chun, don't be in a hurry to go back to Huai'an, if you want to go back, there will be opportunities in the future." Later, if you want to come to my Ningxiang Army to inquire about the military situation, it is not so easy. ”

Liu Chun was so angry that his eyebrows raised: "Who inquired about your military situation?" ”

Sun Yuan laughed: "Actually, it's not a shame to inquire about the military situation. Sun Tzu has clouds, knows himself and knows the other, is invincible in a hundred battles, knows himself without knowing the other, wins and loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, I will die in every battle. It can be seen that when fighting a war, it is important to find out the enemy's situation. It is not the enemy's business to find out about the enemy's military situation. ”

Liu Chun snorted: "I have read Sun Tzu's Art of War. ”

Sun Yuan: "To tell the truth, I have sent a detailed investigation to spy on the military situation on the side of your Shandong army, and the two families used to be crowded in the narrow area of Jianghuai, and the friends and enemies are unknown, so you have to be careful." In the last Taizhou War, a certain luck won a major general. Don't you want to know why you lost, Major General? Speaking of military training, a certain is not boasting, and it can be regarded as the number one in this world. It is better for Major General Liu to stay in our army for a few months. ”

Hearing Sun Yuan's words directly, Liu Chun's heart was moved. Indeed, he was deeply impressed by the brave and good fighting of the Ningxiang Army, and he also wanted to take a closer look at what kind of magic this Sun Yuan had cast. If you don't speak at the moment, you agree.

Seeing that Liu Chun agreed to stay, Sun Yuan was also relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "But our army has been trained, and now it is about to expand, and General Liu Shao can't see anything here with me." After all, the Ningxiang Army has already taken shape, and the Xiangyong who has been enriched into the army has been trained a few years ago. I have a proposal, I wonder if Major General Liu is willing? ”

Liu Chun: "I wish to hear it." ”

Sun Yuan turned back to his subordinates and said, "Go and call General Qin Yi and them." ”

"Yes."

In a few moments, a middle-aged general boarded Sun Yuan's ship, followed by four or five generals. Looking at the clothes on their bodies, they are all officers above the garrison. The middle-aged general at the head is a guerrilla general, who belongs to the senior generals in the Ningxiang Army.

Liu Chun already knew that the backbone of the Yangzhou Zhen Army was either Lao Tianxiong's fierce general or the elite of the Nine Sides. Therefore, after the Ningxiang Army moved to Yangzhou, Sun Yuanbu used the establishment of the border army.

The troops are from small soldiers to first captains, team management, defense, conduct, garrison, guerrilla, staff generals, deputy generals, and finally to general soldiers

。

Suddenly, a guerrilla general was called, and he must be Sun Yuan's henchman. Liu Chun paid attention and looked at the past, but was a little disappointed.

"Subordinate Qin Yi has seen Hou Ye, I don't know what Hou Ye commands?" Although the middle-aged general surnamed Qin is burly, his face is full of wrinkles, his skin looks dry and saggy, and he can't see the luster. This sentence is said to be lacking in qi, and it is obvious that the body is not very good. When he fought there, his face was full of sorrow, and if he took off his military uniform, he would be no different from the old peasants in the field. In other words, this person doesn't have the slightest temper, can he also lead troops?

However, the several garrison-level officers behind him were all powerful and fierce, and they were rare warriors. I don't know why this surnamed Qin convinces these subordinates?

"General Qin, come on, let me introduce you to you." Sun Yuan affectionately grabbed the hand of the lord Qin Yi and said, "This is General Liu Chun, the eldest son of Dongpingbo, and it is estimated that he will go with you this time." ”

"I know it's Major General Liu." Qin Yi asked cautiously: "But I don't know what the name of General Liu Shao went to Zhenjiang this time?" ”

"To Zhenjiang?" Liu Chun looked at Sun Yuan in surprise and asked, "But Jiang?" ”

Sun Yuan: "General Liu, listen to me, the river still has to be crossed, and if you take a boat to Taizhou this time, you will probably stay there in the future." Taizhou and Zhenjiang are also separated by only one Yangtze River. After crossing the river, gather the cadres, and I will send you to Zhenjiang. In the future, you're probably going to be there for a quarter or more. ”

"Cadre, what's that?" Liu Chun was puzzled.

Sun Yuan: "Cadres are the first-class commanders, management teams, and first-class defense officers in the troops, although the military rank is low, but they are the backbone of the troops. Their ability to lead troops and whether they can fight or not has a direct bearing on the combat effectiveness of the troops. ”

Liu Chun: "Indeed, the middle and low-level officers of the army are very important. ”

Sun Yuan: "Here's the thing, Zheng Zhifeng of the Zheng family in Fujian is not the chief soldier of Zhenjiang now, is he in charge of river defense?" He had no soldiers under him, so the eldest prince of the Zheng family was ready to transfer some troops from Fujian, and wanted to buy new firearms from our Ningxiang Army to form a new army. Mr. Zheng had a good personal relationship with me, and I was going to agree to him and send officers to teach new tactics. Didn't the major general want to know how our army trained and how to fight, this was a great opportunity, and I don't know if the major general would like to go to Zhenjiang? ”
