Chapter 438: The Beginning of War 2
"What's the matter, I don't know if General Mo is not in good health? Why don't you prepare the medicinal soup that the old general usually drinks?! Fan Zhong commanded the soldiers on the side, but the soldiers did not dare to disobey his orders, so they turned around and retreated.
The surrounding generals all admired his boldness, who didn't know about Mo Zhengzhuo's usual drinking of medicine in the entire military camp? However, no one dared to say it to him so boldly, because that time the enemy ambushed him was still a pain in General Mo's heart, and Fan Zhong was now tantamount to sprinkling salt in Mo Zhengzhuo's heart.
Mo Zhengzhuo's old face was not very good-looking, and there was a faint anger posture, and the surrounding generals were afraid that the two would quarrel, so they hurriedly persuaded one after another.
Shao Sijin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't miss the fleeting ridicule in Fan Zhong's eyes, and something was running fast in his mind.
That night, Shao Sijin had just finished sorting out the latest batch of military and political documents, when suddenly there were two light taps outside the door, he stood up and opened the door, and saw Mo Zhengzhuo's familiar face.
"Old General Mo?" Shao Sijin was slightly stunned, and hurriedly raised his hand to invite Mo Zhengzhuo into the house, "The junior was thinking about visiting you, but I didn't expect it." ”
"I didn't expect me to come to you first, did I?" Mo Zhengzhuo smiled, although he is a general, when he doesn't train people, he looks more affinable than ordinary old people, which really makes people think that he is decisive in killing in the mouth of outsiders.
"I'm here to tell you about the day." Mo Zhengzhuo still had a hidden illness on his body, and it was inconvenient to stand for a long time, so he didn't pretend to be polite to Shao Sijin, found a chair and sat down by himself, and after a while, he pulled Shao Sijin to sit down next to him.
The tea in the tea cup on the table has been cold, and now it is the cold season, and the conditions in the military camp are not as good as the palace, Shao Sijin got up and was about to pour a pot of hot tea, and was pulled down by General Mo. "Don't be busy, I'm not thirsty."
The old man's hair was already gray, and the two beards on his lips were completely dyed white by the wind and frost, Shao Sijin was no longer polite, but asked: "The old general wants to tell me about General Fan Zhong?" ”
"Clever."
Nodding appreciatively, Mo Zhengzhuo said: "I, I didn't come to speak ill of you about him, the old man, I am not so bad as that." ”
Shao Sijin nodded, he knew that Mo Zhengzhuo was a person, but he was afraid that the things that could make him come to the door would not be simple.
"Fan Zhong is a malleable talent, and he has contributed to Shunguo over the years, but unfortunately his temperament is too radical, and he can't listen to persuasion in his eagerness for quick success. I, I just want to remind you that the emperor suddenly sent you over to command this kind of action, which will definitely make Fan Zhong's heart vigilant, and he will inevitably embarrass you these days. ”
Raising his hand and patting Shao Sijin's shoulder, Mo Zhengzhuo shook his head at him meaningfully, "Although I know that he has to trouble you, I also have to trouble His Highness to endure it, just for the good of Shun Guo, bear with it for the time being." ”
"What does the general mean......" Shao Sijin's eyes were slightly dark, and before he could ask completely, Old General Mo suddenly made a silent movement.
There are some things that you just know in your heart, and you don't have to say it.
I don't know what I felt from General Mo's words, Shao Sijin's already uncalm complexion suddenly became even tighter, and his dark eyes were so deep that people couldn't see through it for a while.
After a long time, he sighed, stood up and saluted Mo Zhengzhuo: "Junior, thank you for the old general's reminder, the hour is not early, and the juniors will send you back to rest." ”
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to help Mo Zhengzhuo, but he raised his hand and pushed him away. "I'm not there yet, old man." Smiling and shaking his head, Mo Zhengzhuo got up and walked out quickly, his tall figure blended into the night little by little in Shao Sijin's eyes, and finally disappeared.
Shao Sijin raised his hand to close the door back, his eyes fell on the thick pile of documents on the desk, and sighed softly.
Dawn.
Because he knew in advance that Fengying was going to attack the news of Shun, the emperor of Shun had made full preparations early, as the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, the soldiers who have been mobilized have gathered in one place, and the morning martial arts field can be described as particularly lively.
"Drink!" 180
Hold the gun in your left hand and force in your right hand.
Uniform slogans emanated from the soldiers' mouths, and at a glance, they looked like the same person in terms of movement, voice, and shape.
Shao Sijin stood on the tall city wall, looking at this scene from a distance, his eyes showing appreciation. Which man does not have the enthusiasm to kill the enemy and defend the country, including Shao Sijin can't help but be enthusiastic at this time, Shun Guo's manpower, material resources, and military strength are not inferior to Fengying, so why be afraid?
The breeze was blowing, with the chill of winter, the soldiers were wearing thick and warm military uniforms, and Shao Sijin changed into military uniforms from the first day of his arrival in order to follow the customs of the country.
However, the scale armor shimmered in the early morning sun, and coupled with the sturdy body, it was so dazzling.
Looking at the handsome man bathed in the golden sunlight, Fan Zhong's teeth tightened slightly, but after finding that someone else was approaching, he quickly returned to normal.
"Your Highness, the soldiers have completed their training, please check." A soldier stepped forward and said.
Fan Zhong saw Shao Sijin nodding, then turned around and walked towards the city wall, I don't know if he noticed his presence when he passed by him, his eyes condensed slightly for a moment, and then turned away indifferently.
It can be said that Fan Zhong was completely ignored.
Damn it!
It wasn't until Shao Sijin's figure completely disappeared that Fan Zhong's figure in place couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he stepped on the hard mud ground in anger before he quickly kept up with Shao Sijin's pace.
The barracks have the rules of the barracks, Shao Sijin stood in front of the army, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the expression on his face was very serious.
"Stand upright!"
"Huh!"
After receiving the command, all the soldiers stood up straight, their eyes staring at the front meticulously, and their faces were expressionless.
"Good." Nodding, Shao Sijin's eyes crossed with a touch of appreciation, although it was not the first time he had come to the barracks, he would still be shocked by the scene in front of him.
Raising his hand to signal the guards to stand up straight, Shao Sijin raised his voice and asked, "Do you all have the confidence to fight against Feng Ying's 100,000 army?" ”
There were less than 50,000 troops here, half of which was a full half of Fengying's, and although the emperor began to assemble his troops at the first moment he received the news, it was still difficult to recall those troops who were far away from the border in time.
Fengying is also a famous fighting country, Shao Sijin is not worried that they will not win against Fengying, but he doesn't want them to be afraid. If it comes, the most important thing for an army is the spirit and soul of the army.
"Yes!"
The uniform shout broke through the indescribable depression in Shao Sijin's heart, he evoked a smile, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”
"Afraid! But I'm more afraid of losing! The soldier shouted again.
How are they not afraid of death, death means losing everything, family, friends, lovers, but they are even more afraid of losing, because if they lose, they will lose the whole country.
