After the Cheshire Lord left, there were only two people left in the room, Zhao Gu and Su Xiaocheng, and the two looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After a moment of silence, it was Zhao Gu who found the conversation first.

"Xiaocheng, I will go with the army to suppress bandits in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and I won't say goodbye to you then, although there will be a day of leisure tomorrow, but I want to go to the barracks to get used to it first, so I will leave early tomorrow morning."

"You're hiding from me?" Su Xiaocheng asked with tears in his eyes, and his tone was full of grievances.

The corners of Zhao Gu's mouth grinned, and he smiled, and said, "How come, I was about to say goodbye to you, and I didn't want you to come over." ”

Su Xiaocheng snorted lightly: "It's strange to believe you, if we don't find it, I'm afraid you don't know where to run now." ”

Zhao Gu smiled: "How is it possible, I don't have many acquaintances in Kaifeng City, where can I go." ”

Su Xiaocheng sighed slightly: "Don't talk about this, are all the things for the march and war ready?" ”

Zhao Gu pointed to the package he had prepared and said, "It's all here, it shouldn't be bad." ”

Su Xiaocheng was still not at ease, so he stepped forward to check them one by one, and then carefully put the package on the head of the bed, and advised: "Don't lose these things, they are all life-saving things on the battlefield." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Zhao Gu said with a hippie smile.

"Phew, who's your lady?" Su Xiaocheng blushed instantly and said coquettishly.

"Aren't you? How do I feel that the tone of your voice is my lady? ”

"You're disgusted with me?"

"No, absolutely not."

"Don't you dare, that ...... When you come back from the battle, you will come to the county lord's mansion...... Let's propose. ”

Yes?

Zhao Gu was stunned, and only came back to his senses after a while, but saw that Su Xiaocheng had already run away in shame.

Zhao Gu hurriedly caught up, not wanting Su Xiaocheng to deliberately avoid him, so he quickly pulled the Cheshire Lord away, and he had to return the same way.

Although he didn't catch up with Su Xiaocheng, didn't he already catch up?

——－－——

On the second day, Zhao Gu got up very early, did not alarm the two little guys of Rock Sugar Sydney, and went out of the city alone and came to the military camp outside the city.

Cao Wei was very surprised that Zhao Gu took the initiative to come to the barracks, but he was also relieved after listening to Zhao Gu's explanation.

Zhao Gu came to the barracks so early naturally for his purpose, he had to adapt to the life and soldiers in the army in advance, so that he could survive better in the next crackdown on bandits.

Don't think that he is worrying about nothing, in this era of cold weapons, fighting a war is completely hand-to-hand combat, if he can't be completely familiar with the weapon configuration and soldier situation of the new army, once Cao Wei exchanges opinions with him after arriving at Mojian Mountain, his words and deeds may kill many soldiers, and even he will get into it.

In this era, fighting is to exchange life for life, and there is no other way, so the advantages and disadvantages of soldiers and the configuration of weapons are very important.

Zhao Gu is a lazy person who doesn't like trouble, and if he wants to solve the problem once and for all, he can only work harder than others and strive to complete the battle.

After arriving at the barracks, he took the military order from Cao Wei, Zhao Gu first took the roster of all the personnel of the New Army, looked at it carefully, and then entered the munitions warehouse to carefully check the configuration of weapons, and this busy time came to night.

Zhao Gu stayed in the barracks that night, and what made him happy was that he, who joined the army, was the largest in the new army except for Cao Wei, so he had his own unique tent and would not be crowded with others.

Naturally, it is impossible for the 5,000 new troops to live together, in fact, in order to hide people's eyes, the 5,000 new troops recruited by the imperial court are all in the city defense army, so the 5,000 soldiers were scattered by Cao Wei and faintly surrounded Kaifeng City.

There were a total of 1,000 soldiers in the barracks where Zhao Gu and Cao Wei were located, and after dinner, all the soldiers gathered together to chat and fart, and most of the topics around them were the bandits who were about to be encircled and suppressed.

What Zhao Gu didn't expect was that Cao Wei, a guy who didn't seem to understand people, was also sitting among the soldiers, spitting about the skills of killing the enemy.

It can be heard that most of what he says is hearsay, but it is still much better than the big-headed soldiers who don't understand anything.

Zhao Gu did not step forward to participate in the discussion, at this time it should be a special session for Cao Wei, the main general, and he will not join the army to join in the fun.

The moon rises and the moon sets, and the next day is just around the corner.

At about five o'clock in the future, the new army put on their armor, finished breakfast, and quietly prepared to leave Kaifeng Mansion.

Finally, he glanced back at Kaifeng, and Zhao Gu, who was pressing the formation in the rear, clamped the horse's belly between his legs and rode away.

Ten miles away from the lockdown, Cao Wei ordered the new army to hurry up, and by the time it was lunch, the new army had already driven eighty miles.

Zhao Gu nodded again and again when he looked at the back, the quality of this group of new troops is very good, I really don't know why the Great Song Dynasty always lost more and won less when it was in the war with the Liao State in previous years.

The 5,000 new troops were mainly infantry, with a total of 4,000, and the remaining 1,000 were cavalry.

After another two days of rapid marching, the new army reached Mojian Mountain.

Through the map, it is known that Mojian Mountain is located in the boundary of Caozhou, belonging to Jingxi Road (Shandong Province), according to Cao Wei's analysis, it should be the remaining branch of Taihang Mountain.

Speaking of Caozhou, we have to say that it is a world-famous historical figure here.

Caozhou has been martial arts since ancient times, known as the hometown of martial arts, there have been many martial arts masters in history, some people have opened sects, and some people have set up a high court, and they have been crowned princes.

Among them, the most famous are Peng Yue, the king of Liang, one of the three fierce generals of the early Han Dynasty, and the famous generals Shan Xiongxin and Li Tao (Xu Maogong) in the early Tang Dynasty, these three can be called the representatives of Caozhou.

There is another person who is also very representative, but not well known, that is Huang Chao, the famous leader of the uprising in the late Tang Dynasty.

It's just that he is a rebel and is not liked by the court, so he has no qualifications to become a representative.

But in fact, Peng Yue, Shan Xiongxin and Li Tao were all born in rebellion, and they were no different from Huang Chao, but who told him that the uprising failed, and he was not as good as the other three people who assisted the Ming Lord and established the country.

After seeing the sky, Cao Wei ordered the new army to camp on the spot, and then he led a small group of soldiers into the mountains, wanting to explore the way.

In the evening, Cao Wei came back with his men and called Zhao Gu and more than a dozen generals into the tent.

When the others came, Cao Wei said solemnly: "Everyone, the general has already made a preliminary reconnaissance and found that this Mojian Mountain is very wide, with many peaks, and the terrain is sometimes high and sometimes low. We want to take this place, but we are afraid that the casualties will be small. ”

Hearing Cao Wei, who has always been confident, say this, the generals were a little silent for a while, they were all people who had never been on the battlefield, even if they read a lot of military books, they were a little stunned at this time.

"General Cao, no matter what, we have to fight and try, and the last general will lead the army to attack the mountain tomorrow." At this time, a tall and thin young man in his twenties hugged his fist.
