PS: Chapter 3 has been changed, what about the ticket?

――――――――――――

On February 23, the 25th year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, Geng Chao, the general of Xiaocai, led the forbidden army of 10,000 fine cavalry to Shuofang, and the crown prince Zhao Heng was ordered to see off on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Geng Chao urged the whole army to march all the way, and the vanguard arrived in Shuofang on the second day of March.

In order to resist the Turkic invasion, Bactria has invested huge manpower and material resources in Shuofang for decades, and built a large-scale and neatly laid out military city, which has a different kind of majesty in the roughness, and the garrison stationed here accounts for seventy percent of the population of more than 200,000 people. Although the shops and liquor shops in the city are far less exquisite and luxurious than Chang'an, they have everything they need, and the soldiers are not worried about spending their money. The garrison in the city had strict military discipline, and the military order that "those who disturb the people and the Turkic captives are guilty of the same crime" was known to everyone, and the army and the people were in harmony and order.

Great Xia stationed 400,000 heavy troops on the long border from Shuofang to Jiayuguan, all of which were commanded by the general Wei Su. Wei Su's life experience is quite legendary, which is equivalent to a vivid history of struggle of grassroots characters. He was born in a poor peasant family in Guanzhong, and when he was a teenager, he was forced to join the army for his livelihood, and after more than 30 years of bloody fighting, he became the most authoritative general of the Great Xia, and was recognized by the world as the first general of Daxia. It is said that Wei Su, who was in a high position, never forgot his roots, was modest, and his style was diligent and thrifty, and he was widely loved by the military and people of the border area.

Geng Chaofeng returned to Beijing less than a year before returning to Weisu's subordinates, and due to the frequent movement of Shuofang's troops and horses, people had long been accustomed to it and did not cause much of a sensation. Yang Zhi, like most of the soldiers of the Raid Legion, was the first time he had come to the Northland Frontier, and he was fresh and curious about everything in Shuofang.

After the legion entered the city and was stationed, Wei Su summoned Geng Chao for three consecutive days, presumably to discuss the preparation of a battle plan. In the 400,000 army, there are many strategists and hundreds of generals, and a five-rank army like Yang Zhi is naturally not enough to participate in the army, so he can only settle down and wait patiently. Wei Su had already selected 100 Shuofang cavalry who could speak Turkic and were familiar with the terrain outside the Saiwai, and two days later they were incorporated into the raid corps as guides and interpreters.

Geng Chao sent more than a dozen small groups of scouts deep into the grassland desert, and the Turkic cavalry who had been struggling outside the city for a winter attacked Shuofang more and more frequently. A war that Emperor Xia and Tudu Khan need together is on the verge of breaking out. But Yang Zhi faintly felt that Wei Su and Geng Chao seemed to be waiting for something, were they waiting for the weather?

Ten days passed, and there was still no movement. Since the raid legion was stationed in Shuofang, Geng Chao only issued one military order: to be ready and on standby. The soldiers sharpened their teeth and claws like little tigers in cages, and they were all about to get sick.

On this day, after Geng Chao returned to the camp, he took the initiative to find Yang Zhi: "Yang joined the army, and the general ordered you to see him immediately." ”

At this time, it was already dusk, why did Wei Su skip the level and summon him at this time? Do you still want to invite Yang Zhi to dinner? Yang Zhi had been in love with this famous general for a long time, and he didn't have the heart to study Geng Chao's sour expression in detail, so he immediately set off to ask for a meeting outside the general's army.

To Yang Zhi's great surprise, Wei Su actually met him in the wing room of his private residence, and he really ate him for dinner.

Wei Su is not only Yang Zhi's current boss, but also the father of his sworn brother Wei Feiyang, and he should pay a big salute in both public and private: "Yang Zhi joined the army under the account of Geng Chao, the general of Xiaocai, and knocked to see the general!" ”

Wei Su was about forty-five or sixteen years old, with a dark complexion and a thin complexion, and the indigo cloth robe on his body had been washed and white, which was far from the classic image of the legendary leopard head and eyes and majestic generals. If you usually meet on the outside road, you will be regarded as an ordinary farmer.

"Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite." Wei Su picked up Yang Zhi and said casually: "Even the military is busy with military affairs and can't get out, and I don't have time to summon my nephew for a while until today." In the past two months, the dog mentioned the most in the family letter is the virtuous nephew, Feiyang said that your name is really a master and apprentice, and you have to worry about it. - Sit down, let's eat and talk. ”

Wine and food have been set up on the table in the room, but there are only two meats, one vegetable and one soup. Yang Zhi doesn't seem to have any big names in this world, and he doesn't pay much attention to pomp. This was true of the emperor and the king of Yue, and the same was true of Weisu.

Yang Zhi said respectfully: "The villain has admired the general for a long time, and it is a great honor to be able to see him today." Feiyang is diligent and studious and sincere, but he is a great general, and he is so embarrassed that the villain is embarrassed. ”

Wei Su filled the wine glass in front of the two with his own hands: "The eldest husband should treat people with sincerity in the world, but sometimes he has to be obscure. If Feiyang is not good at this, I am afraid that he will have to suffer in the future. Virtuous nephew, I salute you, and I hope that I can give more guidance and guidance to children in the future. ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Wei Su said extremely sincerely. Yang Zhi is not a person who sticks to the rules of etiquette and bad rules, so he raised his head and took a dry sip: "Brother friendship is important in friendship, and villains should do their best." ”

Wei Su nodded and said: "The virtuous nephew can be at peace with him when he takes up a post under Geng Chao's account, and this state of mind is really commendable." Today, I was afraid that you would be difficult, so I asked Geng Chao to summon you to come, which seems to be too careful. The emperor has always looked at people with a very accurate eye, and your burden of joining the army is not light! ”

A general commanding hundreds of thousands of troops was so careful, Yang Zhi couldn't help but be a little moved. I saw Wei Su get up and take a piece of paper on the bookcase: "This was sent with the holy decree half a month ago in an expedited manner of 800 li, and the emperor's will to me is only two words: read." ”

Wei Su sighed: "These sixteen characters can be described as the essence of the Turks' repeated successes and defeats, I have tasted it for a long time, and my eyes are suddenly bright!" The emperor summoned Geng Chao back to Beijing to train his troops, precisely in order to govern his body in the way of others, the emperor is sage! The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the good horses have their own knowledge, and the virtuous nephews will not live under the people for a long time. ”

Yang Zhi faintly felt that this paper document was a little familiar,...... Isn't that his 16-word glorious strategy? He never dreamed that he would make the emperor and Wei Su pay so much attention, and he suddenly made a big red face, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

Wei Su saw that his face was red and his ears were red, and he seemed to be ashamed, and said with a faint smile: "Come, I'll give you another cup for your strategy." ”

After the two of them did it, Yang Zhi returned another glass, and Wei Su called the guards to collect the wine: "Originally, it was strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, but I have made an exception today." On the day of the great breaking of the Turks, please invite the virtuous nephew to drink. He laughed at himself and said: "However, the climate in Biansai is very cold, and the soldiers will inevitably have occasional homesickness, so it is not easy to really ban alcohol." Therefore, it is strictly forbidden in wartime, and as long as the soldiers do not get drunk and make trouble, it is not easy to investigate it exhaustively. ”

Wei Su is definitely the most easy-going and amiable senior general Yang Zhi has ever seen in his previous life and present life, and most of the low-level soldiers are children of ordinary people, no wonder they can enjoy the lofty prestige of a towering mountain in their minds.

Wei Su only ate a bowl of rice and put down his chopsticks: "I have a stomach cold, the virtuous nephew doesn't have to be formal, don't waste it." ”

In mid-March, the northern border is still cold and cold, and it is indeed difficult to endure the long night without having enough to eat. Yang Zhi was not polite, and went down to four bowls of rice. Wei Su asked with a complicated expression: "Virtuous nephew, what strategies can you offer to Geng Chao after joining the army?" ”

"Nope. Since General Geng arrived in Shuofang, he has not raised his account. ”

"Plant a grain of millet in the spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn." Wei Su looked into the distance with deep eyes, nodded slowly, and said, "The expedition is only in these few days, otherwise you will miss the agricultural time." Stand down! ”

This nonsensical sentence made Yang Zhi scratch his head after retreating: Why is the expedition related to the agricultural time?
