Chapter 170: Letter from Kyoto (Ask for Collection, Recommendation, Subscription)
The weapons, armor, grain and grass of the Yagu tribe can be used for their own use, and the barbarian ornaments and jewels can be exchanged for a large amount of money, Su Jun is like a casual young man who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, once he tasted the sweetness, he was a little unable to hold back, and he thought about when to rob other barbarians through the immortal forest.
When Su Jun returned to the house, only he, Yan Qinghua, and Zou Hong were left, and he opened the letter from Kyoto, and at first Su Jun still had a smile on his face, but after only reading a few lines, his face gradually became solemn.
Yan Qinghua and Zou Hong both looked at his face, and when they saw this, they both stopped silent, not daring to laugh again.
After a while, it was Yan Qinghua who spoke first and asked softly:
"Master Su, what is written in the letter? Could it be that there is some trouble? ”
"It's not just trouble, you two should take a look too"
Su Jun handed the letter to Yan Qinghua, Yan Qinghua read it carefully, and then passed the letter to Zou Hong, and the three of them read the letter at once, and their faces couldn't help but be a little dignified.
The letter was written to him by Su Zhongqing's cheap wife, and her heart was nothing more than to say some short things in the family, mainly concerned about how Su Zhongqing stayed in Bei'an County, whether there was any danger, and why he never replied to the letter.
The whole letter is a mother's love for her son, but what makes Su Jun feel a little uneasy is the few words at the end of the letter, Su Zhongqing's mother told him that King An Ning has not been in good health recently, and wants to recruit Su Zhongqing to return to Beijing, which is undoubtedly very bad news for Su Jun.
After a while, Yan Qinghua was the first to speak:
"Master Su, depending on the meaning of the princess, there is more than this ...... letter"
Su Jun frowned tightly and said in a deep voice:
"I know, so someone must have intercepted the letter, so this is the only one in our hands."
Zou Hong didn't know the inside story, and asked puzzledly:
"Who is so bold as to dare to intercept the family letter written by the princess to His Royal Highness, is this an attempt to rebel?"
Looking at Zou Hong, who was at a loss, Su Jun did not answer his question directly, but said lightly:
"No matter who intercepts it, it's not a good thing, it seems that the royal court has not much time left for us, we must hurry up and continue to recruit troops, now this little force is still too small for us, we must rush to transfer me back to Kyoto, become more powerful"
"Slave Zou Hong, understand"
"Su Ye is also tired these days, you better rest early"
After saying that, the two of them retired side by side.
This night, Su Jun had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up the next day, it was almost noon, and the heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and when he looked out of the window, it was all covered in silver.
Under the eaves, between the branches, the upside-down shiny ice picks shimmer faintly, long or short, thick or thin, and so on, occasionally a gust of wind blows, and the snow powder will sweep through the air one after another, and in the blink of an eye, it will blend into the snow white, and there will be no trace of it.
After Su Jun freshened up, he came to the barracks and walked around, and before he reached the camp gate, he heard a burst of neat shouts in the distance, which was the sound of the recruits training.
Su Jun picked up a handful of white snow from the snow, pressed it on his face and rubbed it vigorously, his brain instantly cleared up a lot, this was the most commonly used method when he practiced with his master when he was a child in his previous life, and he hadn't used it for many years, when the snow was wiped on his face, it seemed that he remembered the sound of the master's earnest teachings in his ears.
On the flat ground in front of the camp gate, the guards had already swept away the snow, revealing the ground that had only been tamped down and had been frozen extremely hard, Chu Yan, Wu Kuohai and Huo Wuji and others were leading their subordinates to practice the formation on the school field, although it was very cold, but this group of men were all stripped off and only wore a single shirt and trousers, steaming hot on their bodies, shouting loudly to practice.
Su Jun still attaches great importance to the training of the garrison, not only practicing the personal ability of the soldiers, but also paying close attention to ideological education, including battlefield discipline and the spirit of not fearing death and moving forward bravely.
But for those who are available and can take on great responsibilities, Su Jun has more requirements, not only to have excellent personal skills, but also to understand how to arrange troops, the group of men who are now trained are carefully selected from the army, coupled with everyone's hard work, it can be said that they are making rapid progress now.
Everyone saw Su Jun coming to inspect, all the soldiers rushed up to salute and say hello, Su Jun smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to do their own business, this group of recruits saw General Su standing on the side, but trained harder.
Chu Yan, Wu Kuohai and other generals did not dare to slack off, threw down the blade in their hands and stood on Su Jun's side, and asked loudly:
"Master Su, what do you think? The brothers practiced hard! ”
Huo Wuji then asked:
"Why don't you wait for Su Ye to eat, and we will accompany you to the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army to have a look?"
Su Jun said with a smile: "Anyway, it's this time, let's go to the new army together and eat with the soldiers!" ”
Chu Yan said admiringly:
"Master Su, you are really good to the soldiers below, I have dealt with the officers and soldiers a lot, but it is really rare to have such a sympathetic soldier like you, and I have never heard of the dignified county head and the pawns eating together."
Su Jun said with a smile: "What's so strange about this, don't go, fighting is not a person's business, no matter how good your ability is, if there are no soldiers on the battlefield who sincerely support you and kill the enemy desperately, then everything is in vain." ”
Chu Yan grinned and said with a smile:
"Su Ye's words are reasonable, think about the things that I did before that were not human, I still blush, but God is not kind to me, let me be fortunate to meet the general, not only survived, but also can do things for the people, anyway, from now on, my life Chu Yan is the general's."
Huo Wujian didn't have so many ideas, he was young and vigorous, he only thought that he could kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and he would be a marquis and a general in the future, and he was worthy of being a man in this world, and he was even more grateful to Su Jun in his heart.
While gossiping, the four of them walked towards the large school field where the New Army was training, and after walking for a while, Su Jun suddenly heard the sound of a boy reading in his ears, and he couldn't help but feel very strange, and asked:
"How can there be the sound of reading in the barracks?"
Wu Kuohai replied with a smile:
The general was busy with official business every day, but he didn't know that Miss Yan saw that there were many children near the barracks, so she built a school and invited two gentlemen to teach the children to read! The lives of the people in our Bei'an County are guaranteed, so we are worried about letting the children learn more things! ”
Su Jun nodded again and again when he listened, he couldn't imagine that Yan Qinghua was not only a femme fatale, but also could think of such a thing that benefited the people, these days, it is still a very luxurious thing for the children of ordinary people to want to study, let alone the children of these soldiers?
Not to mention anything else, just pen, ink, paper and inkstone, how can ordinary people afford it? At present, Bei'an County is under its own governance, but there is no shortage of money, and it is always right to let children receive some education.
