Section XXXIX

Grain storage is a very tedious thing, and when you are done, it is already late.

Seeing that the last grain truck was counted, Xuanyuan Lingcai said: "Lord Wu came from afar, Xuanyuan Ling was not thoughtful, don't blame him for being sluggish." ”

She was still worried about the matter of the wild wind pearl, Wu Ming naturally couldn't be really angry about this matter, so he saluted and said: "Niangniang is too careful, this matter has nothing to do with you, how can the young general blame him?" Besides, I'm not a small-bellied person, so how can I be angry about such idle things. Now that Lanning is in turmoil, and she is in trouble both internally and externally, it is your mother that you should relax and take care of your body. ”

Xuanyuan Ling glanced at Wu Ming and muttered, "It's a good internal and external dilemma, and General Wu has seen things thoroughly. She turned her head, looked at the lights of thousands of homes in Lanning City, and sighed: "But there are some things that cannot be solved by relaxing your mind." ”

Wu Ming was silent, there were too many unfinished meanings in Xuanyuan Ling's words. But there are also a large number of Yuanren Division officials such as Zhao Zhong nearby, and with the current relationship between the two, it is really not appropriate to say too many intimate words. He searched his intestines and scraped his stomach for a long time, but he still didn't know how to comfort the other party, and he held back for a long time before he had nothing to say: "I don't know how His Majesty's injury is?" ”

"What else?" Xuanyuan Ling didn't know what the expression was on his face, and he smiled bitterly: "He was injured by General Li's shot, and he is still in a coma and has no improvement." ”

Before Wu Ming came to this world, Li Yuan was the hero that Xuanyuan Ling admired the most, but now this hero has become the murderer who injured her husband, it is estimated that she is more helpless than she is in pain, no wonder she has this expression.

He comforted: "Niangniang, please rest assured, Your Majesty will definitely get better." ”

Xuanyuan Ling sighed again, and said a little dejectedly: "Hope." ”

Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty's injury is inseparable from my northwest, and Governor He is very worried in his heart, so he specially invited Mr. Gu Zhongping to come with the grain team." The way of medicine in Beimeng is very different from that of my dynasty, Mr. Gu has been immersed in the way of medicine for decades, and he may have another opportunity to take a look. ”

Although Beimeng built a city, it was different from other nomadic peoples. However, their culture and technology are far lower than those of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and their medical methods are also very inferior. There are many differences in the so-called way of using medicine, but they are just kind words. Xuanyuan Ling is both the princess of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Simon Kedun, how can she not know the mystery inside? Before Wu Ming's words fell, she perked up and said, "So General Wu, where is Mr. Gu?" Take me to meet me. ”

Seeing that there was finally a hint of joy on her face, Wu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Gu has been bumpy all the way, and his body is slightly unwell......"

Xuanyuan Ling looked at the sky and said, "It's okay, I have arranged a room for you to rest in the post house, and the rest of the brothers, let's stay in the Lanning military camp." It's getting late, your ministry is tired, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, you should rest early. ”

As she spoke, she turned on her horse and went away with a large group of horsemen. Looking at their backs, Wu Ming always felt that something was missing, and there was a faint pain in his heart. Xuanyuan Ling has really grown up, not only is she a qualified wife, but also an excellent mother of the country. Supposedly, you should be happy. However, Wu Ming's heart was still like a stone, and he felt uncomfortable.

When they were far away, Youluli stepped forward and said, "Brother Aming, this Kedun Niangniang is Xuanyuan Ling?" ”

Wu Ming was a little puzzled, and replied casually: "Yes." ”

Yululi looked at him and said with a gossip on her face: "But I heard that she almost became your wife, why did you two meet like nothing." ”

Wu Ming was a little upset, and shouted: "This is all about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, you still remember." ”

He roared a little loudly, Youluli pursed her mouth, and said aggrievedly: "Why are you so loud, people are just asking......" The two were arguing, Zhao Zhong came over at this time and said: "Lord Wu, Niangniang has taken care of me, please come with me." ”

Wu Ming said: "But you want to take us to the pavilion?" ”

Zhao Zhong bowed and said, "Exactly, Niangniang specially greeted me just now." ”

Wu Ming glanced back at the team and said, "It's still not necessary, don't you have a military camp here?" I'll live in the barracks with the soldiers. ”

When Lanning City was built, it was for military purposes, so a military camp was specially built in the city for the purpose of garrisoning. Hearing Wu Ming say this, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but be stunned: "Lord Wu, but, the mother specially ordered ......"

Wu Ming said: "That's it, if Niangniang blames, just say that I insisted." Seeing Zhao Zhong looking at him a little strangely, he continued: "I'm sorry Lord Zhao, I'm used to eating and living with soldiers when I'm out of the house." It doesn't matter, right? ”

This is not Wu Ming's hypocrisy, but it is true. Four years ago, he was worried about He Yi's "death", and he was so sad that he alienated the soldiers. Since Yang Xiong's warning, Wu Ming has been very careful about his behavior, but whenever he goes on a campaign, he always eats and lives with the soldiers, and this habit has continued until now.

Zhao Zhong hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. He said, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty often chatters, saying that the heroes of the world, if you talk about the art of the generals, the heart of the soldiers is the same, if Lord Wu says the second, the world does not dare to say that he is the first." I used to think I was a little unimpressed, but now I'm convinced. ”

Did Yan Da say this? may have praised himself, but it is by no means as exaggerated as Zhao Zhong said. Although he knew that Zhao Zhong's words were somewhat slapping the horse, Wu Ming was still a little proud in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Zhao is polite, the soldiers are all my brothers, and when they fight, they charge forward, and they should share weal and woe." ”

Zhao Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, yes." This is also what His Majesty often says. Alas, he has such a temper, and every time he fights before, he has such a thing. ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, but Wu Ming's heart moved. Isn't this your own habit every time you fight? He sighed, and what floated in front of him was Zhu Yuhu's face that wanted to speak and stopped: "Generals, there are brave generals and generals, but the last general thinks that those who are brave and unparalleled are certainly terrifying, but after all, they are the wrath of the horseman, at best, they are a hundred enemies, and the impact on the battlefield is not very great." The strategy of the general is more important than commanding thousands of troops and horses to charge, and every move is related to the life and death of tens of millions of people. The adult is now also the general of Sanpin Zhendong, the commander of the guard battalion. Once there is a mistake, the middle route army will collapse without a fight, and it will be a real death. ”

I didn't think so before, but now that I think about it, I wish Yuhu what he said, but it makes a lot of sense, and I really have to pay attention to it in the future. Otherwise, it's not fun to have three long and two short. Simon's current situation is a vivid example of this.

Over the past few years, Zhu Yuhu has also changed a lot, although he is still a little immature. But there is no doubt that he is much more reticent, and is more inclined to think alone, and every time he has something surprising. The two brothers of the Zhu family are both dragons and phoenixes among people, which should be considered a good thing. But when he thought of Zhu Yuhu staring at Zhu Huai's hateful eyes, Wu Ming felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Zhu Yuhu's change of mentality has a lot to do with Xuanyuan Ling. The situation in the world is fickle, and it really makes people speechless.

Northern Mongolia is known for its cavalry, and there is no shortage of horses if there is no shortage of anything here. So even if Zhao Zhong is a civil official, his riding skills are also very good. After everyone was assembled, Zhao Zhong and a few others got on the horse and led Wu Ming and the others to take the lead. Along the way, Wu Ming rode on Nanwang's tall back and looked around. Although it was late at night, there were still many lights on the streets. There is a war ahead, and there are some refugees in Lanning City, and the associated population is much larger. But the refugees on both sides of the street look serene, and the pedestrians come and go calmly. Although the front line suffered defeats, the lights here are not bright, and the morale of the army is quite stable. Now Lan Ning is at the helm of Xuanyuan Ling, and she has paid a lot for this.

This scene was indeed beyond Wu Ming's expectations, and Xuanyuan Ling was also in control. Looking at the pedestrians and shops on the street, he couldn't help but sigh: "Looking around Lanning City, I really don't believe that I have just suffered a defeat in front of me." ”

Zhao Zhong turned his head in front and said, "Yes, but Niangniang is also heartbroken." He sighed and said: "When the country was first built, many things were not on the right track, and it was His Majesty who acted as the military affairs and the virtuous king as the government affairs. Now that His Majesty is in a coma, King Xian is leading the army on the front line, and all the major military and political affairs have fallen on Niangniang's head. But she handled it in an orderly manner, and Lan Ning is like this now, even I think it's a little incredible. ”

Although the Yuanren Division is not a key part, it is also one of the eight divisions. Simon established the country by force, and there are really few talents available in politics, otherwise Zhao Zhong would not be used as a businessman. Xuanyuan Ling estimated that there was no one to rely on, just now she said that she was busy with political affairs, so that she delayed, it seems that what she said must be true.

Lanning is a mountain city, although Zhao Zhong said that the destination is not far away, he took everyone around, climbed the mountain and walked downhill for most of the day, seeing that the surroundings were getting more and more deserted, he stopped, and then turned over and dismounted and said: "Lord Wu, this military camp was the garrison of the wolf cavalry in the past, just enough to accommodate five thousand people." After the First Battle of the Northwest, the wolf cavalry suffered heavy losses, and this place was empty, so you can live here today. ”

Just five thousand? At its peak, the wolf cavalry had only a little more than 10,000 troops. Li Yuan is so powerful, the first battle made the wolf rider lose nearly half? Thinking of this, Wu Ming was stunned and said, "Why, did the wolf ride lose so many people in the northwest?" ”

"Naturally not, because the grain and grass are not continued, ......" After saying half a sentence, Zhao Zhong realized that he had revealed his mouth, and immediately changed his words: "The wolf rider naturally has another place to live, so Lord Wu will leave it alone." He must have said in annoyance, so he was not very polite.

Indeed, no matter how powerful the wolf cavalry is, the mounts always need to be raised. Wolf warriors are carnivores, and their meat consumption is staggering. With Simon's current situation, he really can't afford it, so he cut the number. Wu Ming was not in the mood to continue inquiring, but said, "Then there is Lord Lao Zhao." ”

Because it is a permanent station, this military camp is not simple, and it is surrounded by high walls, which occupies a considerable area. Everyone entered the gate under the leadership of Zhao Zhong, and they saw a wide playground, and the ground was pressed hard, obviously the wolf rider used to practice here often, and he had just moved out. Around the playground, there are rows of buildings. Although there are many houses, they are arranged in a patchwork manner, not chaotic at all, and there are green trees everywhere, but the black lights are blind, and it looks a little desolate. It's the end of June, and the trees in the neighborhood are birch trees that are easy to grow. Just looking at the appearance, it really doesn't look like a military camp, but like a kind of courtyard that covers a huge area, and has nothing to do with the military camp. However, it is no wonder that the wolf cavalry is the top priority of Northern Mongolia, and the accommodation conditions will definitely not be too bad.
