Chapter 334: Expedition
"Seeing that you are not very old, you have been a soldier for three years, can your family rest assured?" Han Han always admires this kind of soldier who has fought with a gun, to put it mildly, a soldier is a gun, the general who sits in the formation all day long and commands is the barrel of a gun, and the court is the person who dances the gun and plays with the knife.
If the court wants to stab it, the head of the gun will be stabbed, the soldier is dead, the head of the gun is smoothed, and then another batch is needed. Therefore, Han Han wanted to let him enjoy the sense of glory of looking up at him before this soldier died.
"At home, I have a wife to take care of my parents, so I'm quite relieved." The soldier smiled stupidly, but this made Han Han even more surprised, "The family is full, and it should be a happy life, why do you want to join the army?" ”
"Because of my poor family, I can only come out to join the army to support my family, and I hope the national teacher will not laugh at it." The soldier gritted his teeth embarrassedly, and Han Han nodded with a smile, "It's nothing, there are many people like you in this 300,000 army, but you can choose to join the army instead of going to the pit to be abducted, and you are also a very patriotic person, and once you die on the battlefield, the pension can make your family of three live for a long time." ”
The soldier was stunned, but Han Han smiled and patted the hard armor on the soldier's body, and said, "On the battlefield, you must be brave!" Kill the enemy and get a reward! Don't be afraid to die! Your family will still be able to get money for the rest of their lives! You tell me? ”
The soldier came back to his senses and nodded excitedly, "That's right! For the sake of the dynasty, I will definitely be a qualified soldier! Don't be a deserter! ”
"Well said! You still have a wife at home, right, even if you die, I will take care of her for you, um, so, don't be afraid on the battlefield, don't worry, when you face 100,000 enemy troops, what is the only thing to do, you know? ”
"Kill!" "That's right, the young man has understanding, what's your name?" "My name is Zhao Zilong." "Huh? Changshan's? "No, I'm the pimple in the northeast!" "Then I'm relieved......"
The march was very long and long, and although Han Han felt that the speed of the expedition was slow, it was already the fastest march speed of the army.
It has been a month since leaving the capital, and the army has just left Shaanxi and entered Ningxia. Occasionally go out to bask in the sun and blow the wind, and then eat a little unpalatable food, and the day is over.
At noon on this day, Han Han, who was holding the amulet begged by the Queen Mother and playing with the fish intestine sword given by the Queen Mother, heard a soldier shouting outside the carriage, "National teacher, the prime minister is invited." ”
When Han Han heard this, he immediately sat up, these days, the two of them will only meet during the meal, chatting about feng shui and the country, today, please come over, there must be something important.
Inserting the fish intestine sword into the scabbard and stuffing it into his arms, Han Han bent down and walked out of the carriage, Cao Yunde's carriage was not very far away from himself, and after hundreds of soldiers on foot, Han Han rushed to Cao Yunde's carriage in front.
"Come in and sit down." Unlike Han Han, who is still wearing a cotton robe, Cao Yunde wears armor day and night, which shows how important his cautiousness is.
Cao Yunde squinted his little eyes and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and after letting Han Han bend down and get in, Han Han saw that in the wide carriage, there was a small wooden table, and on the table, it seemed to be a map of Qinghai.
"If we pass through Gansu again, we will go to Qinghai, and when the time comes, do you have any plans for facing 100,000 rebels?" Cao Yunde looked at Han Han, who was sitting cross-legged opposite, and the two of them looked at each other at close range across a map, "We have 150,000 infantry, 100,000 cavalry and 50,000 archers, how do you think we should move when we enter Qinghai?" ”
Han Han smiled dumbly, "Prime Minister, you don't know the art of war. "Smack!" Cao Yunde slapped the table, squinted his little eyes and placed the map of Qinghai in front of Han Han, staring at Han Han with a deep gaze, Cao Yunde said, "You have to be modest at the moment, it would be too hypocritical, you are full of poetry and books, how can you not know the art of war, this city and countryside let you follow, just because I think we can learn from each other's strengths and make up for our shortcomings, if the two of us lead the army, then the 300,000 army will definitely be as heroic as a million lions!" ”
That's why Cao Yunde let himself follow? I bought a watch last year! Han Han grinned, smiled helplessly, and looked down at this map of Qinghai, the mountains, plains, and rivers were drawn in detail, Han Han raised his head, and first asked, "The prime minister must make sure that this map is true, otherwise, a mistake in drawing may wipe out our entire army." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Yunde's mouth, a pair of small eyes flashing with fine light stared at Han Han, and replied with a smile, "Prime Minister Ben knows that you won't be ignorant, you are as cautious as Prime Minister Ben, rest assured, this picture is absolutely true!" If there is a mistake, the whole family of the person who painted this picture will be in danger! ”
Han Han nodded, looked at the map of Qinghai carefully, and then said slowly, "We passed through Gansu, then, when we arrived in Qinghai, we were naturally in the east of Qinghai, so which city was occupied by the rebels?" ”
Cao Yunde was very satisfied with Han Han's serious attitude, stretched out his hand, dotted on the map, and said, "They are in Yushu." ”
Han Han looked down, then frowned slightly, "Close to the border of Xiliang, it is very easy for them to escape back to Xiliang, and it is in the south of Qinghai, in addition to attacking from the east, we can only attack from the south." ”
"Why can't the west?" Cao Yunde stared at Han Han with an appreciative smile and asked. "This is an obvious opinion, going around the west, it will only make the 300,000 army go further, and the west is close to Xiliang, in case a rebel army rushes out of the oblique angle at that time, when the time comes, we will have nowhere to retreat, and the only way to attack is to attack south or east."
Cao Yunde nodded, and a handprint was placed on the large map of Qinghai, "There are more hills and plains here, how should you prepare for this matter?" ”
More hills, less plains? Han Han frowned, groped his chin, and then pointed near the Yushu, "The nearby hills are tall and steep, I think we can ambush on the mountains in this circle, send out a small team to attract the enemy army, and then, lead the enemy army into these two mountain ranges, when the time comes, they will only have to hold their heads and be beaten." ”
"Hmm...... It's almost the same as I imagined, the Yushu city they occupy is located in the plain, and we will throw out 300,000 troops to take the initiative to attack, exposing the soldiers and horses to the eyes of the enemy, which is really disadvantageous, well, let's take your plan first. ”
Cao Yunde turned the map to him, looked down at the twists and turns of the big map of Qinghai, and then took a long breath, rolled up the map, and threw it aside, "After watching it for so long, my head hurts, come, let's play a game of chess." ”
Han Han didn't like to play chess, but how dare he refuse, he smiled and nodded, watching Han Han bring up the wooden table engraved with a chessboard from the side, and then swing it, and soon, Cao Yunde took a step first, "Horse!" ”
Han Han lowered his head, and after seeing the pattern in the chessboard thoroughly, he made a move and moved an 'elephant', compared to Cao Yunde's sharp chess pieces, Han Han's chess pieces gave Cao Yunde a confused feeling.
couldn't see what Han Han was doing, Han Han's weird chess pieces also made Cao Yunde unable to guess what Han Han wanted to do next!
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!" Between Han Han and Cao Yunde, one after another chess pieces moved on the chessboard...... Disappear...... In the end, Cao Yunde came back to his senses, and he blindly fought forward, and in the end, there was no chess piece except for a 'horse' and a 'rook'.
"It seems that the prime minister is in too much of a hurry." The corners of Han Han's mouth were smiling steadily, he lowered his arm, his fingers slowly pushed the chess pieces, and his 'horse' had already broken into Cao Yunde's field of vision.
One step forward is death; If you don't move, you are dead; And if you let the 'horse' or 'car' come back to help, you can't save it.
Cao Yunde frowned, squinted at Han Han in amazement, patted Han Han's shoulder with relief, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel that Cao Yunde had bad intentions, "It's amazing!" ”
"Hehe, it's the prime minister who has conceded it, and let's have another plate?" Anyway, being idle is idle, and Han Han feels that it seems to be a good choice to play chess with Cao Yunde.
Cao Yunde nodded slowly, touched his black and hard beard, and then re-swung his beard, "Okay!" This prime minister will see if you, the national teacher, are really omniscient! ”
"Everything? The prime minister is really a winner, and in the next, he only knows a little bit about it, and he knows a little bit about it, hehe. Modestly pretending to smile, Han Han quickly put the chess pieces back into the chessboard with both hands, and always felt that this was like the legend, two people in a big game of chess.
"Boom ......" At this time, outside the carriage, there was a thunderous sound, Han Han, who lowered his head and placed the chess pieces, was stunned, and then opened the curtain sideways and looked outside the carriage. ”
"Huh? It's going to rain? It seems that our pace is about to stop. Cao Yunde's small eyes flashed and glanced outside the carriage, patted Han Han's shoulder, and after Han Han turned his attention sideways, Cao Yunde stood on the large wooden board where the coachman was sitting outside the carriage.
Han Han sat on one side, watching Cao Yunde look around with his eyes that couldn't see eyeballs, then touched the black beard on his chin, and shouted in a low and loud voice, "Pass my military order!" The 300,000 troops, after marching to the side of the crop field a hundred meters away, set up camp on the spot! ”
"Yes!" A small soldier who was riding a horse and following Cao Yunde's carriage, after hearing Cao Yunde's words, raised a yellow order flag from his waist, at this time, Cao Yunde thought of something, and said again, "Autumn harvest and winter hiding, at this moment, it is the season for the growth of wheat ears, our soldiers must not spoil those dozens of acres of crops, anyone who steps into the crops and destroys the bloody and sweaty fields of the peasants and people will be beheaded!" ”
Han Han glanced up at Cao Yunde, the little soldier on the horse was stunned, then quickly nodded, patted the horse's ass timidly, and then turned around on horseback, holding the yellow order flag in his hand while running, and shouted, "The prime minister has an order, march to the crop field a hundred meters away, and camp on the spot, but anyone who steps into the crop field and destroys the ears of wheat will be beheaded!" ”
The little soldier shouted while riding along the ranks of the 300,000-strong army, Han Han came back to his senses, looked up at Cao Yunde, who was staring at the crops, and asked, "Unexpectedly, the prime minister is also a person who cherishes farming." ”
Cao Yunde lowered his head and sat in the carriage, rolled up the curtain of the carriage and lifted it onto the carriage, and the stuffy feeling finally eased a little, "You don't know, I have been a poor family since I was a child, my family has planted rice, one acre of land, I should be able to support my family, but the bullies in the village often secretly cut my family's immature straw to sell, resulting in the things that our family has worked so hard to cultivate, and in the end they either die or are pulled out." ”
"So!" Speaking of this, Cao Yunde's tone was particularly strong, "I know the simple and hard work of the farmers, and I will let my subordinates!" also cherish, how can the food that people eat be wasted! ”
Han Han nodded slowly, hateful people, there must be pity. No wonder Cao Yunde grabbed the power of the emperor and didn't return it to others, it turned out that he was afraid of being robbed by others when he was a child?
The originally clear sky, said cloudy, it was immediately cloudy, got out of the carriage, got into the big tent set up by the soldiers, Han Han sat on the simple chair bored for a while, and then opened the big tent and looked into the distance.
The dim and lightless sky could see the overall situation at a glance, and this unobstructed sight made Han Han's heart feel very comfortable.
In the sultry air, there was a burst of lightning and thunder, and the white lightning seemed to flash overhead, accompanied by a thunderous sound, at this time, Han Han saw in the distance, Cao Yunde was leading a horse to a branch, the horse's hair was black and bright, and it was tall and strong, and at a glance, he knew that the breed was extraordinary, and it was Cao Yunde's favorite horse?
When Han Han was curious, he suddenly saw that the horse was frightened by the roar of thunder and lightning and raised its forelimbs, jumped slightly, the reins in his hand broke free from Cao Yunde's palm, and the black horse leaped a few steps and scurried away in horror.
The four tall horses' hooves made a crisp 'stomping' sound, watching the horse's fright rush into the wheat field on one side, and even knocking down two passing soldiers on the way, Cao Yunde squinted his little eyes unhappily, and suddenly blew a loud whistle with his mouth.
"Wang ......" cough cough, no, it's "Huh!" A high-pitched whistle silenced the horse.
It is worthy of a war horse, and when he heard the whistle, he immediately shook the hair all over his body, stood on all fours in the wheat field, and shook his head and tail no longer moved.
Han Han's face was gloomy at this time, and he walked quickly towards the soldiers who were knocked down by the black horse, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not good, it's not good, I hit the prime minister's ass." A soldier hurriedly pulled the soldier who fell to the ground next to him, and the two people helped each other up, and one of them could speak and apologize.
Cao Yunde's face was even more unhappy, "Ridiculous! Only brutes collide with people, how can there be a reason for my soldiers to collide with brutes! ”
I want to talk about "Flying Immortals and Grievances" with more like-minded people, "Chat about your favorite books with more book friends."
