179 Stealing half a day's leisure
Leaving Donghubu, the army slowed down, and it was not like a war at all, but like a tour of the mountains and rivers, Chu Haoyu was also happy and leisurely, and he didn't even ask the purpose of the trip.
Playing horses and walking slowly, Chu Haoyu's face was calm, but his eyes were closed, thinking about how his father Chu Tianfeng used soldiers when he was fighting the world, and why he used soldiers like this. After thinking for a moment, Chu Haoyu's eyes opened with a hint of enlightenment, and at the same time, he took out his father's handscroll from his arms and studied it carefully.
Seeing Chu Haoyu's appearance, Chu Zheng was happy in his heart, and in the end, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After reading a chapter, Chu Haoyu put away the scroll, then looked at Chu Zheng and said, "Uncle Zheng, were you laughing at me just now?" ”
Hearing Chu Haoyu's words, Chu Zheng did not deny it but laughed loudly, and shouted: "Young master, the old slave remembers that you were most afraid of reading when you were a child, and the several gentlemen that the master invited to you were all tricked away by you in the end, even after Mr. Ouyang came, young master, you don't like to read either, how can you be like now, riding a horse and reading books, and you are still so fascinated." After seeing it for the first time, I was asking myself, is this still my son-in-law? Haha......"
In the midst of laughter, Chu Zheng suddenly asked, "Young Master, why don't I find you a carriage?" Anyway, there has been no battle in the past few days, and the army is not in a hurry, so you can read with peace of mind. ”
Shaking his head, Chu Haoyu said calmly: "Here, I am just a small soldier, if I take a carriage, what kind of system will I become, I must not mention it again." After finishing speaking, Chu Haoyu shook his head again, and even sighed lightly, and said, "Actually, I didn't expect it." I remember lying to my father and mother when I was a child, saying that I had a headache when I saw a book, but I never thought that I would really have a headache when I saw a book later. In order to cure this problem, Mr. Ouyang always told me some interesting stories to listen to, but every time he reached the most exciting place, there was no follow-up, and then he threw me a book to find it himself. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Haoyu shook his head again, and then said: "Actually, at that time, it was not that I didn't want to read, I just wanted to mess with Mr. Ouyang, and wanted to stump him and let him take me, but in the end, except for my father and mother, only Mr. Ouyang could lower me." ”
Chu Zheng laughed again and shouted, "Young Master, I was just thinking about what it would be like if Mr. Ouyang and those old masters who were angry with you saw you like this." ”
This time, Chu Haoyu couldn't help laughing, if they saw themselves reading books and learning the art of war while marching on horseback, I am afraid that their eyes would fall off. Thinking about it, only Mr. Ouyang nodded without being surprised, and said with a smile: "Seventh Prince, you have finally grown up and have your own pursuit!" ”
"Wait, why do you say in your heart that it's a pursuit, not a preference?" Chu Haoyu, who was taken aback suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, thinking about whether he liked the art of war or pursued the art of war.
Seeing that his young master was deep in thought, Chu Zheng pouted rather boredly, but he didn't bother him, and hurried away with his head down. Suddenly, hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Chu Zheng looked up.
The person who came was still Chu Haoyu's old acquaintance, the young general surnamed Li who crossed Chiyan Mountain together. stopped in front of Chu Haoyu, and the silver-armored young general bowed to the two of them and said, "Qiqi two generals, my general is invited." ”
Suddenly, Chu Zheng became interested, and asked first: "But with the military situation, there is a battle to be fought?" ”
The silver-armored young general shook his head and replied: "The last general doesn't know, the general just ordered the two of them to go over. ”
Nodding, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Lead the way." ”
When Chu Haoyu arrived, Lin Changqing and Feng Zhiqi were sitting around the fire, and there was a young deer on the fire, scattering bursts of fragrance, but they didn't see the figure of Cao Han, who was in the long history. Seeing Chu Haoyu and Chu Zheng, Lin Changqing hurriedly got up and saluted the two.
Glancing at the young deer, Chu Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, that's it today?" What the hell are you two doing, are you going to fight or hunt? Before the two of them could answer, Chu Zheng's nose trembled, and he shouted, "Smell of wine?" It's okay, there is no fighting, just drink wine. ”
Suddenly, Lin Changqing and Feng Zhiqi both laughed, and Lin Changqing even opened his mouth and said: "General Song, General Chu, sit, today is to steal half a day of life!" ”
Looking at the two of them, Chu Haoyu's expression did not change in any way, but he found a place to sit down, and then Lin Changqing and Feng Zhiqi sat down.
After sitting down, Chu Zheng picked up the wine bag and poured it, with a satisfied face, and said, "This is fresh mare's milk wine, where did you get it?" As he spoke, Chu Zheng set his eyes on the roasted golden fawn. Licking his lips, Chu Zheng pulled out the dagger, cut off the fattest part of the leg and handed it to Chu Haoyu, and said, "Young master, do you taste it?" ”
Taking the venison, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Two of you, such a good venison, and good wine, what do you want me to do?" After finishing speaking, Chu Haoyu chewed lightly.
The venison is tender and fragrant in the mouth, and because it is roasted, it is even more chewy, which is indeed a rare delicacy. After taking a bite of venison, Chu Haoyu opened a bag of mare's milk wine and drank it.
Different from the spicy nature of ordinary spirits, mare's milk wine has a strong milky flavor and a hint of sweetness, which is indeed a great treat when combined with venison. After a little taste, Chu Haoyu let go and ate it.
When he went over the mountain, it was cold beef jerky with snow water, so that Chu Haoyu wanted to vomit when he saw the beef. It is a little better to eat some hot food when entering Mobei, but when the army is still cooked, it is still cooked beef and mutton, and Chu Haoyu can only eat some patiently. Now that there is roast venison and mare's milk wine, Chu Haoyu naturally wants to feast on it.
Seeing Chu Haoyu eating, Lin Changqing and Feng Zhiqi made a move, but their demeanors were different. Even when eating, Lin Changqing still had a smile on his face, looking unhurried and very calm, thinking that it had something to do with his temperament and background. Feng Zhiqi ate meat and drank a lot, but his face was still cold, and his eyes were as calm as a pool.
The small piece of meat, Chu Haoyu quickly finished eating, seeing this, Lin Changqing hurriedly cut off a piece and handed it over, and asked at the same time: "General Song, how is it?" ”
After looking at Lin Changqing for a moment, Chu Haoyu finally took it and said, "Yes, it's much better than rations." ”
Nodding, Lin Changqing said with a smile: "When I met a herd of deer during the march, I asked someone to call over and change the taste for the big guy." ”
Seeing that Chu Haoyu was silent, Feng Zhiqi opened his mouth and said: "General Song, it was General Lin who personally shot and said, saying that he was born to practice his hands, and the result was to kill two birds with one stone. ”
sighed lightly, but before Chu Haoyu could say anything, Chu Zheng opened his mouth and said: "I didn't expect you kid to look like a weak scholar, but you still have this hand, what kind of kung fu do you practice?" ”
didn't hide it, Lin Changqing opened his mouth and said: "My uncle is a disciple of the outer sect of Wuji Temple, I used to learn the Mixed Yuan Gong with him when I was young, but I only learned some fur, which is far worse than the two. ”
Chu Zheng liked three things in his life, battlefield, martial arts and wine, and he knew a little about the kung fu of all major schools and families in the rivers and lakes, so he said: "Although the Mixed Yuan Gong cannot be compared with the three clear tricks and Tianyang Duel, it can be regarded as a first-class exercise, and you have practiced martial arts for forty years, and you have already achieved a small success." However, it is estimated that you will only use it for physical fitness, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the innate realm. ”
Hearing Chu Zheng say this, Lin Changqing was not disappointed, and said with a smile: "The last general is not a person from the rivers and lakes, as long as he can behead the enemy when he charges into battle, it is enough!" ”
Suddenly, Chu Zheng shouted hello and said, "That's right, it's worth a toast!" With a shout, Chu Zheng lifted the wine bag.
Raising the wine bag with both hands, Lin Changqing smiled: "Please!" ”
Glancing at each other, the two of them put the wine bag to their lips at the same time. After taking a big sip violently, Chu Zheng wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Happy, I haven't been able to drink like this for a long time, happy!" ”
At this moment, Chu Zheng seemed to have fallen into the memories of the past, and there was some helplessness on his rough face, but he quickly came back to his senses and laughed: "Come, drink." ”
After taking a big sip of wine, Chu Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "Don't you leave today, right?" Seeing Lin Changqing nodded, Chu Zheng then asked: "In the past few days, there have been many people walking and stopping, going around, and there are many people, what kind of medicine are you two selling?" ”
Glancing at Chu Haoyu, Feng Zhiqi opened his mouth to explain: "The three major tribes near Chishui Lake, the Kelie Department and the Zathorn Yi'er Department have been wiped out by us, and now only the Donghu Department is left, and we are waiting for the Donghu Department to be in chaos, so there is no need to run too far, and at the same time, we can let the army rest and recuperate." ”
After a short pause, Feng Zhiqi continued: "General Ma and General Chang each led two thousand men and horses to sweep away other small tribes. After two more days, we will return to Donghubu, kill the strong warriors of Donghubu, and then join General Ma and General Chang to cross the Danba Desert into the Adar steppe. ”
This time, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "What about General Wang?" I haven't seen him since I left Krebu. ”
Lin Changqing laughed to himself and said: "The waters of this Chishui Lake are thousands of kilometers in radius, and the large and small tribes add up to at least 100,000 people, and no matter how careful the army is, it will inevitably slip through the net." After the siege of Donghubu, someone will definitely get the news, in order to prevent the news of the arrival of the army from spreading out of Chishui Lake, the general ordered General Wang to lead hundreds of scouts to the front line of Danba to intercept and kill those who left. ”
After listening to Lin Changqing's words, Chu Haoyu's face did not change in any way, but he asked again: "What about after we leave?" ”
Except for Chu Zheng, who was a little confused, Lin Changqing and Feng Zhiqi both knew what Chu Haoyu meant. Once the army leaves, those who survive will naturally come out, and if they encounter the troops who are preparing to surprise the Golden Horde of the Tatar Ministry, it will not be a surprise attack but a sheep's mouth.
At this moment, a sneer appeared on Feng Zhiqi's cold face, and he said in a deep voice: "After the army is opened, I will hide a team of elite soldiers in the ruins of the Kelie Department and the Donghu Department, and kill anyone who comes close." In addition, when the army left the present-day Danba Desert, General Lin would leave another group of men and horses to wait for the arrival of the army. ”
Although his eyes were fixed on the fire, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: they have been in battle for a long time, and they are really as careful as a hair, if they are themselves, I am afraid that they will not be able to think about it so much, and it is no wonder that they can be selected to lead the army into Mobei first. Thinking so in his heart, Chu Haoyu picked up the wine bag.
Glancing at the three of them, Chu Zheng asked suspiciously, "What are the three of you talking about, what are you leaking or not leaking the news?" Let's enter Mobei, sooner or later they will know, what are you covering, so careful? ”
Without waiting for Lin Changqing and the two to answer or explain, Chu Haoyu said directly: "Uncle Zheng, why do you have so many questions today?" Eat meat, drink wine! ”
He was stunned for a moment, but Chu Zheng immediately laughed, raised the wine bag and said, "Yes, drink, drink." ”
