Zhang Qian said: "I know the worries in Captain Wang's heart. But here's where the operation comes in. If we order 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort the mission westward, we will indeed be very safe and secure, but it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the countries along the way, and they will be more likely to be ready to attack me. If we only have a hundred people, the other party's suspicion will be much lighter, and we will march quickly and pick up the empty place of the opponent's defense force, even if the other party wants to do it, it will not be able to do it. Moreover, this is a diplomatic operation, not a military operation, if the number of troops is too large, Khorezm may not dare to communicate with us when they see it, so the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, what I need is a hundred battles of elite soldiers, and Captain Wang's Eagle Yang Army is the most suitable choice. ”

Wang Yangming nodded, knowing that at this point, this mission could not be avoided no matter what. He finally struggled and said: "Then can we communicate with the Khorezm people in advance? If we rush to the door, the other party doesn't know where we came from, what are we doing, give us a rain of bullets first, and we will have to explain." ”

Zhang Qian sighed and said, "This matter is so confidential, even if few people in the court know about it, how can they inform the Khorezm people in advance." When we arrived in Khorezm, we had to act at the opportunity, and one step at a time. But the old man selfishly speculated that as long as we could meet the king of Khorezm, with the old man's incorruptible tongue, there was eighty percent hope that the king would be able to move the king to form an alliance with us. ”

Wang Yangming didn't know that Zhang Qian was so confident in his eloquence, but Boyan knew that Zhang Qian was known as Bowang, because he had seen and heard a lot, and his eloquence was given, and he was a first-class debater in the court. I have a lot of confidence in Zhang Qian in my heart, and I am full of authority in my eyes, and I said categorically: "Lord Zhang dares to use the eagle to raise the army, which is a trust in my Northwest Army." Wang Yangming, even if you fight for your life, you must protect Lord Zhang. ”

Wang Yangming saluted: "Order!"

The three of them looked at each other and laughed. Although Zhang Qian is a civil official, he is also arrogant, and said: "I have asked the Holy Lord for a holy decree, once this trip is successful, all the people accompanying him will be promoted to two ranks." ”

Wang Yangming asked, "I wonder when our group will leave?"

Zhang Qian said: "I wanted to set off as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." But I see that the Eagle Yang Army has just returned from outside, and it must be in need of rest. This still depends on General Boyan's instructions. ”

Boyan nodded and said, "Then let the Eagle Yang Army rest for half a month, and after the fifteenth, I will personally see you off!"

Wang Yangming saw that the general situation had been decided, so he hurriedly resigned from Boyan and Zhang Qian, and returned to the barracks to explain the task. Everyone was resting, and when they saw that Wang Yangming had come back in a hurry, they all ran to ask him what military aircraft the marshal had discussed with him, and Wang Yangming told everyone about going to Khorezm in half a month, and everyone cheered.

Wang Yangming didn't know why these people were so excited, and after asking for a while, he knew that everyone would be promoted to two levels immediately after they came back, and they were all extremely happy, as for the sinister along the way, everyone had fought with the Hu people dozens of times these days, and they all felt that under the mandarin duck formation of the Eagle Yang Army, the Hu people were a joke at all, and there was nothing to worry about at all. Wang Yangming was happy to see that the army was stable, but the previous victories seemed to make this army a little dazed, and he secretly had some thoughts of underestimating the enemy, which made him worry.

He did not dare to forget the simple truth that arrogant soldiers would be defeated. At that moment, he emphasized to everyone the difficulties and dangers of this trip, so that they should not ignore the strength of the Hu people because of a few small victories.

Wang Yangming said goodbye to everyone and returned to his room, and saw that Biluo was already waiting at the door, and her appearance was actually a lot less, which was like skin and bones. Wang Yangming said distressedly: "I've only been out for three months, why did you lose weight like this?

Biluo looked at him faintly, and instead of answering his question, she asked, "Brother Yangming, are you okay?"

Wang Yangming hurriedly let her into the house and sat down, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with me." You have to take good care of yourself. What do you want to have three long and two short, how can I tell ......" I can't go on here, thinking that apart from myself, Biluo has no relatives and friends, what is there to explain.

Biluo smiled slightly, not blaming him for speaking directly. "Brother Yangming, when you come back this time, you shouldn't go out immediately, right?" she looked at Wang Yangming expectantly, for fear that his answer would not be as good as she thought.

Wang Yangming looked at her, sighed secretly in his heart, but he couldn't bear to lie to her, and said euphemistically: "I received the order of the marshal today, and I will leave for Khorezm in half a month, this is a military order, I can't disobey it." ”

Biluo seemed to feel that a heart had fallen into the void, and looked at him in a daze, tears already rolling in her eyes in the blink of an eye. Wang Yangming didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to be silent quietly, but he saw that Bi Luosheng stopped his tears, as if he had made a great determination, and said firmly: "Brother Yangming, I want to go with you this time!"

Wang Yangming frowned and said: "Don't make trouble, it's all desert outside, we iron-blooded soldiers can't bear it, how can you stand it." If you fall ill then, wouldn't it be more troublesome for us to have to be distracted to take care of you? And we may fight at any time, how can I protect you in the midst of the battle?"

Bi Luo shook his head and said, "Brother Yangming, you are going to a place as far away as Khorezm on this trip, and there are so many countries along the way, each country speaks a different language, you definitely need an interpreter." Although the imperial court will definitely prepare music and dance students for you, but sixteen music and dance students are not soldiers, once there is a war, you have to be distracted to protect these sixteen people, is it not a greater burden than protecting me alone?"

Wang Yangming was puzzled and said, "But these people are all interpreters, and they can't do without any of them." ”

Bi Luo said with a smile: "Brother Yangming, during your absence, I was bored, so I went to learn from the interpreters of various languages in the army, and now I am a translator who can speak sixteen Chinese." ”

Wang Yangming shook his head: "Biluo, don't lie to me, people who can learn six languages are already geniuses, let alone sixteen languages, there are no such people in the world." Besides, how long have you been in the northwest? In less than half a year, it is not a fantasy to learn the Chinese language. ”

Seeing that Wang Yangming didn't believe it, Biluo smiled and said, "Brother Yangming, I'll open your eyes." Speaking of Tankou Weiqi, he said a series of strange words, and then said another more strange sentence, even said more than ten sentences, each sentence was a different pronunciation, until the last sentence, but it was Chinese, listening to her is: "Mr. Wang Yangming is the best person in the world, he must not be willing to let his little maid wait for him alone in the barracks." ”
