Chapter 622: General Zhenguo
It is not only Jin Lingwei's military attache who dislikes Mu Hongsheng, but also the general Zhenguo himself who is about to take Mu Hongsheng to the expedition.
Of course, General Zhenguo resented! In his opinion, the emperor's upper lip touches his lower lip, and it is easy to make a will, and the work does not need to be done by the emperor himself. He's the one who needs to really take care of the kids.
The eldest lady of the Mu family, he had to be honestly brought to the north, and he had to hand people over to her father safely. If it's okay in normal times, it's a good thing, but right now there is a war going on in the north! The war is spreading north of Jueyu Mountain, and he is afraid that he needs to go all the way to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass in order to see An Guogong.
On such a buoyant road, with a girl, there must be three long and two short, and he is not easy to explain to the emperor and An Guogong.
In particular, the eldest lady of the Mu family is quite beautiful. This is even worse for General Zhenguo. This is going to be seen by the Rong Di people, what should I do if I run away?
When Mu Hongshang went to go through the formalities, he was personally received by General Zhenguo. He is so active not because of the side, but because this girl is also the Mu family no matter what she says, and he ...... No matter what, they owe the Mu family a life.
The life of Mu Liugongzi, as well as the legs of Mu Wugongzi, although He Wenmao is the main envoy, and no one has asked General Zhenguo for the account, he is still ashamed.
But even so, General Zhenguo's attitude towards Mu Hongsheng was not very good, he stared at the scribe after completing the paperwork for Mu Hongsheng, and beckoned behind him. General Zhenguo's own soldiers immediately stepped forward with a suit of rattan armor.
The soldier threw the rattan armor on the table, and immediately turned around as if he was hiding from the plague, and returned to the back of General Zhenguo.
"This is a rattan armor?" Mu Hongsheng looked at the armor on the table: "General, there are horses under your subordinates." ”
Mu Hongsheng's meaning is obvious, she is riding a horse, according to the customary rules in the Great Zhou army, most of the cavalry are responsible for charging, and the battle armor of the horse battle, the light cavalry must be flexible and light, and the heavy cavalry must be heavy and heavy with horses, choose one of the two.
Although the protection of rattan armor is excellent and light enough, it is not flexible enough, and it is not suitable for cavalry. In the army, most of them are shield soldiers who wear rattan armor. And rattan armor production is not easy, the cost is actually very high, more expensive than ordinary leather armor, the current shield soldiers of the Great Zhou army, but still unable to make everyone equipped with rattan armor.
"That's what you're wearing." General Zhenguo replied impatiently: "This is light. You can't wear anything else. The rattan armor is already a very good armor, and the ordinary sergeant is still wearing the cloth armor, what do you like. ”
Mu Hongshang was stunned. Of course, she knows that the protection of the rattan armor is not weak, but when she wears the rattan armor, her upper body will inevitably be stiffened, and she is a light cavalry, if she loses her flexibility, how can she fight.
"General," Mu Hongshang stepped forward and gave a fist salute to General Zhenguo: "Your subordinates can wear leather armor, but they can't, and cloth armor can also be." ”
"Cloth armor?" General Zhenguo sneered: "How dare I give you cloth armor." There are battlefields everywhere north of Jueyu Mountain, and we are afraid that we will have to fight all the way to Yanmen Pass to find your father. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, what can the cloth armor defend against? In case you make a mistake halfway, how can I explain to the emperor and your father? ”
Mu Hongsheng completely understood these words. General Zhenguo actually didn't treat her as a lieutenant officer at all, but regarded her as a lady who needed to be escorted. Although he was willing to take her away, he only wanted to take her to the north in peace, and then leave her father or her brother behind.
Mu Hongshang lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then gently pushed the rattan armor on the table back: "General, the rattan armor is not easy to make, so let's leave it to the shield soldiers." The general can rest assured, his subordinates ......"
"Heh......" General Zhenguo said with a straight face: "Sure enough, it's a girl." Do you know what is the most important thing in the military? ”
Mu Hongshang was clear, but in the current situation, she was a little difficult to answer this question. She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally said honestly: "Return to the general, it is obedience." ”
"Then what are you fighting with me endlessly?" General Zhenguo's voice became louder: "That is, for the sake of your father's face, if you change others, as long as you dare to say a word, the military law will be issued a long time ago." ”
Mu Hongshang hurriedly picked up the rattan armor on the table and confessed his mistake to General Zhenguo. However, although she admitted her mistake with a good attitude, General Zhenguo's face did not improve at all, he still looked impatient, and waved his hand at Mu Hongsheng like a fly: "Okay, you can go." There's a lot going on, so I don't have time to worry about you. ”
Mu Hongsheng saluted General Zhenguo in silence, and then turned around and went out with the rattan armor in his arms. When she left, General Zhenguo sighed with a sad face: "Alas! Troublesome! I just hope that this eldest lady will not lose her temper willfully halfway. ”
The adjutant general of General Zhenguo stretched out his head to look out, and replied: "According to his subordinates, it's okay to have a temper, isn't it just disobedient!" It's amazing, tied up and gagged, stuffed in the car, and escorted to Yanzhou, and when she arrives in Yanzhou, even if she looks for her father to complain, we bite to death and don't admit it. An Guogong is not an unreasonable person, can he still find you for this idea? It's just a matter of bringing people safely. The subordinates are only worried that this girl's appearance is really too ostentatious. As we marched all the way, we mingled with a group of big men...... This ......"
"Alas!" The more General Zhenguo thought about it, the more he became worried: "Go back and tell her to go down, and when she sets up camp, let her stay too far away from General Ben." You're all smart too, so help keep an eye on it. This has to be kept down all the time to rest assured! Really! ”
When General Zhenguo was worried, Mu Hongsheng had already gone home with her very inappropriate rattan armor. She took the rattan armor to show Old Madam Mu, and Old Madam Mu understood what was going on when she saw it.
"Don't complain about General Zhenguo." Old Madam Mu said: "The emperor ordered you to go to the north with him, and the responsibility fell on him, and he naturally didn't want anything to happen to you." ”
"I know." Mu Hongsheng nodded: "But grandmother, rattan armor is not suitable for light cavalry, I can't wear this armor." I know that General Zhenguo is well-intentioned, but on the battlefield, I can't expect others to protect me. What if the war rages and everyone is left to take care of themselves? ”
"But too." Second Lady Mu immediately nodded: "Mother, with General Zhenguo guarding us, we can naturally feel more at ease." But you can't just rely on the generals of Zhenguo. When the tiger still has a nap, who knows that if you don't pay attention at that moment, you won't be able to take care of it? Red clothes should also be careful of themselves. There is a saying that it is better to ask for others than for yourself. ”
