Chapter XXXVIII
Looking at his little arms and legs, thinking about his current age, he is a high school student in modern times, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the hussar general could easily transfer the military power of Shuaiyin to himself, it would be impossible for this person to guard the border for many years.
For the soldiers who have been stationed at the border for a long time, they only believe in fists and ability, and how can they be convincing if they have not made military merits and have not won a single battle.
When I entered the backyard of the county office, I saw Qi Yu's inky black hair dripping with water droplets, his robe slightly wide open, squinting slightly, sitting on a chair in the courtyard, staring at the sky in a daze.
The third son was wiping his waist-high hair with a white cloth towel, and there was brewed tea on the small table in front of him.
Hearing the movement, Qi Yu turned his head to look at this side of the door, and found Mu Chenmo coming in, picking up the teacup on the table and quipping.
"Yo, the general is back, so soon to make a handover."
Mu Chenmo frowned when he looked at Qi Yu's style, ignored him and followed his soldiers directly into the room, only to see that Zhou Qi and the three of them had already cleaned up the house.
Nodding at them, he just wanted to open his mouth to let them go down to rest, but he heard Gu Han speak.
"General Yang didn't hand over the military power."
Mu Chenmo looked at Gu Han's wise eyes as if he was dialyzing everything, and he didn't hide what happened in the hussar general's tent and said it from beginning to end.
Zhou Qi Xiaoqiang clenched his fists angrily after hearing this, and wanted to go to the hussar general to theorize, but was stopped by Mu Chenmo.
Qi Yu faintly heard their conversation in the courtyard, squinted his eyes and sipped the tea in his sip, and listened carefully with his ears pricked up.
"It is not easy for General Yang to hand over power smoothly, and the top priority now is to quickly gain a firm foothold in the army." Gu Han looked at Mu Chenmo and said.
Mu Chenmo thought helplessly, although he had already read the "Taigong Art of War", he really had no combat experience.
In this era of cold weapons, all wars are fought for the lives of soldiers, and it is no wonder that General Yang's reaction will be so fierce.
The three of them saw that Mu Chenmo was tired, and persuaded him to rest early, then exited the room and closed the door by the way.
When he came out and saw Qi Yu drinking tea leisurely, he was angry, thinking that it was not for this bullshit prince, could their general be so tired, glared at Qi Yu fiercely and turned to leave.
The third son looked at the movements of the three of them: "Bold, dare to treat the prince like this." ”
Qi Yu sneered softly, stopped the words that the little third son was about to say, glanced thoughtfully at Mu Chenmo's door, raised his hand and stroked his hair and found that it was dry, so he got up and returned to his room.
The third son glared angrily at the backs of Gu Han and the others, and secretly scolded in his heart that if the subordinates who didn't know what to do were to treat you in the capital, they would be disrespectful, and they saw that their prince got up and hurriedly followed and served.
Mu Chenmo simply scrubbed it, lying on the bed tossing and turning, if he couldn't make meritorious service quickly, even if General Yang handed over the military power to himself, I am afraid that the people below would be unconvinced.
I carefully searched my mind for all kinds of information about cold weapon warfare in my previous life, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
In the early morning of the next day, Mu Chenmo swept away the fatigue of last night and got up and went to the hussar general's tent.
I thought that I couldn't sit still, I had to look for opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and I had to take the initiative to attack, familiarize myself with military affairs, and strive to fight a beautiful battle as soon as possible to regain military power and accumulate military merits for myself.
As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Qi Yu sitting crookedly under General Yang, shaking the folding fan in his hand, and wondering a little in his heart, this was not in line with his style, and the abnormality was that the alarm bell in the demon's heart rang.
When the hussar general Yang Xuan saw Mu Chenmo coming in, he sneered with a contemptuous attitude.
"General Mu Xiao can rest well, if you don't have a good rest, go back to the county government and rest again, now the border is tight, otherwise I will definitely find a nurse for you to serve."
Mu Chenmo's face sank when he heard this, and he was annoyed in his heart, and just as he wanted to refute it, he heard Qi Yu's voice sound.
"General Yang, do you know that the emperor ordered Mu Chenmo to replace you to attack the Huns."
Yang Xuan looked at Qi Yu with some confusion, wondering in his heart, hearing Li Meng say that these two people were very incompatible, and they worked against each other every day, and Mu Chenmo even offended Qi Yu to death.
Mu Chenmo was stunned and looked at Qi Yu, not knowing what tricks this thing was playing.
I saw Qi Yu shaking the folding fan and looking at Yang Xuan with a smile and waiting for Yang Xuan's next words.
Yang Xuan's face was embarrassed, and when he thought of it, he thought that this matter was very important, so he said stiffly.
"Seventh Prince, it's not that I, Yang Xuan, am greedy for power and refuse to give up the military power in my hands, you see General Mu Xiao......"
Without waiting for Yang Xuan to finish speaking, he snorted coldly: "General Yang, now that the Xiongnu have attacked Yumen Pass, if you lose, can you afford to take responsibility." ”
When Mu Chenmo heard this, he thought to himself, and if he dug a pit and prepared to bury himself, what can you afford, to put it bluntly, didn't you just let Yang Xuan quickly borrow the donkey from the slope to push the responsibility to himself, and the emperor wanted to blame the beheading.
Yang Xuan thought to himself that these two people were really incompatible, and he also wanted to unload the burden on himself, but those soldiers were all living human lives, how could they be the victims of the fighting spirit of the two, and there could be no mistakes in the current situation of Yumen Pass.
Hurriedly saluted Qi Yu: "Seventh Prince, when General Mu Xiao has established his prestige in this army and has the ability to take charge of the Shuai Yin, I, Yang Xuan, will definitely hand over the military power." ”
Qi Yu shook his fan with a smile: "General Yang, but do you want to disobey the Holy Ming and disrespect the will." ”
Yang Xuan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and secretly blamed you in his heart for not being good at playing in the county and meddling in some military affairs.
Hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "The general will not accept the foreign military order, and when this battle is over, Weichen will ask the emperor for his guilt." ”
Mu Chenmo looked at the people kneeling on the ground and secretly admired in his heart, for the sake of the Great Qi Country and the lives of the soldiers, he would rather let himself risk cutting off his head than disobey the holy decree.
Qi Yu angrily closed the fan in his hand and pointed at Yang Xuan: "You, good, I will definitely tell the emperor everything you did today." ”
Yang Xuan kowtowed: "Seventh Prince, how can the war at the border pass be child's play, how can you gamble with the safety of Yumen Pass and the lives of soldiers." ”
Qi Yu looked at Yang Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and slandered that this person was really as soft and hard as a donkey, and turned his head to see Mu Chenmo who was glaring at him and gritting his teeth.
"This matter, this king will definitely report back to the emperor when he returns to Beijing."
"General Yang." Mu Chenmo stepped forward and helped Yang Xuan up with both hands.
"I know that you don't trust me now, and it's good that you will continue to be in charge of the seal before I have made military merits and gained the trust of you and the soldiers."
Mu Chenmo's obsidian-like eyes shone with a resolute light, revealing unparalleled confidence.
Yang Xuan looked at the thin body of the young man in front of him, resolute and upright, like a sword out of the sheath, and his whole body was filled with an unstoppable momentum.
nodded: "General Mu, from tomorrow onwards, you can do it every day." ”
Qi Yu looked at the two of them angrily, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the camp angrily.
"Report, the general's battle report ahead." A soldier saluted with his fists folded.
After reading the battle report in his hand, Yang Xuan handed it to Mu Chenmo and said, "If you can complete this task, I will hand over the military power to you." ”
Mu Chenmo took it and took a look at it and wrote: Today, I have discovered the grain transportation route of the Huns to Yangguan, please send troops to cut off this line.
Yang Xuan saw that Mu Chenmo had finished reading: "How can it be done." ”
Mu Chenmo wanted to come to the border pass to study the map carefully, only to see that the sun was located on the south side of Yumen Pass, and the Huns' cavalry had already captured it, cutting off the supply of Yangguan, so as to keep Dunhuang County and reduce the current pressure on Yumen Pass.
Silently memorizing the map and looking at the simple lines drawn on the parchment, I really miss the modern map, and I can understand the location and nearby buildings at a glance.
Yang Xuan looked at Mu Chenmo for a long time and didn't look up, thinking that he had flinched, so he said.
"General Mu, it's okay to regret it now."
Mu Chenmo raised his head and looked at Yang Xuan with a firm gaze: "The general can speak." ”
Yang Xuan played a small drum in his heart, but the previous words had already been said that he could not repent, so he nodded a little.
Yang Xuan looked at Mu Chenmo: "I heard Captain Qian say, you have exterminated the mountain bandits together, and I will send him and his five hundred people to you for this sneak attack." ”
