Chapter 43: Commanders
When Qingzhou heard this, she was a little overwhelmed, she moved her lips, but after all, it was not good to say her worries in front of Wan Chongshan.
"It's freezing outside, and you can live in peace in the barracks." Wan Chongshan opened his mouth again, his voice was quiet, so that people could not hear the slightest emotion, after speaking, he paused, and said again: "No one dares to gossip." ”
Qingzhou was slightly stunned in her heart, seeing Wan Chongshan say this, she already understood, he understood her thoughts, she was silent, remembering what Forsythia told herself, Wan Chongshan's wound collapsed, she hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say a word to let Wan Chongshan take care of his body, don't go to the battlefield easily, but remembering each other's identities, Qingzhou still swallowed the words back, and after saluting Wan Chongshan, he retreated.
Wan Chongshan looked at her back, but suddenly spoke; Whispered her name, "Light boat." ”
Qingzhou's heart was shocked, she stopped her steps, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Wan Chongshan looking at her, his eyes were as deep as the sea, only to see that she was panicking in the bottom of her heart, and she called out uneasily, "Uncle?" ", I saw that Wanzhong Mountain finally said a few words;" It's okay, you go out. ”
Qingzhou was slightly stunned, she didn't say anything more, only blessed her body slightly towards Wanzhong Mountain, and left his tent.
Wan Chongshan was still sitting there, and after the light boat left, he slowly clenched his fingers.
The rest of the days were getting colder and colder day by day.
Since that day Wanzhong Mountain opened, Qingzhou did not mention the matter of returning to Beijing, on weekdays she only stayed in her own tent with Forsythia An'an, the weather outside was cold, the master and servant did not go out, only Forsythia occasionally went to the stove room to bring some food for Qingzhou, but could hear some news.
Wanzhongshan since the injury slightly improved, then never rest for a day, every battle is personally out of the expedition, he has always used the army strange, dare to go deep, wait for the imperial court's reinforcements to arrive, Wanzhongshan used the technique of roundabout encirclement, and the veteran Zhao Zhiqi sent by the imperial court, together with the veteran Zhao Zhiqi, the enemy army was beaten back more than 30 miles, and it was snowing heavily, only so that the Liao people and the Northern Eagle people who were delusional about a quick battle were miserable, and had to order the withdrawal of troops, only to wait for the spring of the next year to fight again.
When Wanzhongshan returned to the barracks, the snow was still blowing, like a tussile, with no end.
The man gathered his subordinates overnight in the main tent, arranged the things on the frontier one by one, and then ordered people to prepare horses and carriages, just waiting for tomorrow to return to Beijing.
"General, the weather is bad now, the general might as well wait a few days, and then it's not too late to leave." There was a lieutenant general who persuaded.
Wan Chongshan shook his head, his eyebrows tightened, only looking at the huge military territory in front of him, the word "Liao" dyed with bright red color, he stared for a long time before he spoke in a deep voice; "It won't be long before the Liao people will make a comeback, and we must train new cavalry before the Liao attack."
As soon as Wanzhongshan's voice fell, the generals in the tent all remembered the fierce cavalry in the Liao army, and their faces couldn't help but change, the men in the Liao Hulu grew up on horseback since childhood, strong and rough, strong physique, and the cavalry was brave and good at fighting, far better than the Han people of Daqi, the two countries fought several times over the years, Daqi was almost defeated repeatedly, even after Wanzhongshan took over Yanzhou, it was mainly defensive-based for many years, and the cavalry has always been Wanjia Army, and it is also the weakness of the entire Daqi.
"What does the general mean is to return to Beijing to recruit new soldiers?" Someone asked.
"No," Wan Chongshan's eyes were deep, looking at the word "Liao", a dark light flashed in his pupils, "Most of the men in Beijing were born in rich families, and they are overwhelmed, and the new batch of cavalry will be recruited from Yanzhou City." ”
Hearing this, everyone had an incomprehensible look on their faces, but Jiang Zhenyi bowed down to Wanzhong Mountain and said; "The Liao people have harassed the people of our frontier many times, burned, killed, plundered, and done all kinds of evil, but all the slightly bloody Yanzhou men hate the Liao people, if the general orders to recruit troops from Yanzhou, these new troops will be brave in order to protect their families."
Wan Chongshan nodded, and listened to Luo Yiyan; "The general's plan is clever, the men in Yanzhou can pick one out at random, and it is better than those embroidered pillows in Jingshi."
Wan Chongshan was noncommittal, his eyes looked around, and asked lightly; "What do you say, the most important thing about cavalry?"
"The subordinates think that it is the bloody nature that is not afraid of death." Tang Mingsheng was the first to speak.
Wan Chongshan shook his head and spat out a sentence; "The most important thing for cavalry is the horse under the crotch, if there is no good horse, what can you do to fight with the Liao?"
As soon as his words fell, everyone was shocked, Daqi is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are few good horses, far less than the vast territory of Liao, rich water and grass, the endless prairie of Liao has the best horses in the world, and also cultivates the most lethal cavalry.
"General, in the third year of Changde, the general once won 10,000 good horses from Yeluming's army and left them in the military horse farm in Beijing to breed, and now, it should also be quite large-scale."
"Or the gentleman knows my mind." Wan Chongshan bowed slightly, "This time I went back to Beijing for this matter." ”
