Chapter 116: Keju

Mu Sheng saw that the quartermaster had done a good job, so he asked Yan Kun to summon the sergeants to gather in the field to give him a lecture.

Mu Sheng looked at so many pairs of eyes staring at him, he still had a little nervousness in his heart, coughed a few times to relieve his nervousness, and then held a juju to explain the rules of the game to the soldiers.

At first, Yan Kun didn't think so, thinking that Changpingjun, a gentleman, had thought of some tricks again, and when he finished talking about the rules, Yan Kun's eyes also lit up, and he felt that this was indeed a good thing to educate and entertain.

After talking about the rules, Mu Sheng handed the ball to Yan Kun and asked him to execute it, and half an hour later, the barracks began to be lively again.

Two simple wooden frames were erected in the middle of the field, and the sergeants were divided into two groups, and the soldiers in the field were divided into two teams to compete with each other, and the loser was replaced by the next group.

At this time, the sergeants and soldiers in the field were sweating like rain, and the surrounding onlookers were also in high spirits, if it wasn't for the fact that there were too few balls, they couldn't wait to get off the field and play now, Mu Sheng also sat on the high platform of the school field and watched with relish.

At this time, Hua Zilan also came to the school field, stood next to him and said strangely: "Childe, what kind of game is this?" ”

Mu Sheng looked back at the fake mustache on Hua Zilan's mouth and felt a little funny, feeling that no matter how much a woman disguises herself as a man, she feels that it is too charming, but there is no way, there can be no female dependents in the military camp, this is also the rule,

Mu Sheng said, "Oh! Brother Hua, this is called Keju ......"

Next, Mu Sheng briefly explained the rules to her, and after a while, Hua Zilan also looked at it with interest.

Mu Sheng beckoned her, pointed to the fruit plate on the table, and said, "Brother Hua, sit, there are all kinds of dried fruits and snacks......"

With that, he pushed the plate in front of her.

Hua Zilan also sat down and ate the snacks on the table, and I don't know how long it took, Hua Zilan was also fascinated.

The two stood up and cheered for the team they supported, and from time to time they scolded each other, angrily reprimanding the opposing players for fouling small actions, entertainment in any era regardless of men, women and children, this may be the charm of football!

Hua Zilan looked at it for a long time and said, "Childe, I also want to go down and play football." ”

Mu Sheng glanced at her and said, "Brother Hua, as soon as you go, as long as you have a mouth, you will be exposed." ”

Hua Zilan said dejectedly, "Okay, that's what I'll say." ”

Mu Sheng watched it for a long time and had some itchy skills, so he went off the field to play football, and came back after only a few games.

Hua Zilan looked at him with a smile and said, "Childe is playing well!" It's really invincible. ”

Mu Sheng naturally knew that she was sarcastic about herself, so he had to say stiffly, "Brother Hua is boring, my level is too high, it's still interesting to watch the game here." ”

Hua Zilan sneered when she heard this......

The reason for this is very simple, that is, as long as Mu Sheng is off the field, as soon as the soldiers see that the leader is coming, they all kick the ball and tie their hands, either shooting and deliberately kicking away, or conceding the ball with various feints. Let Mu Sheng score a goal very easily, and the fake children can see it, and it is boring to make a boss for the hall chief Pingjun, so he has to come back and watch the game.

As soon as the soldiers saw that the leader had returned, they began to fight desperately again, and had a lot of fun......

The days passed slowly, and every day the soldiers were looking forward to the most in addition to the normal tactical training, and the most anticipated thing was the juju at the rest moment, in view of the previous situation, Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan could only sit on the stage and watch as spectators.

It wasn't until more than ten days later that Mu Sheng finally waited for General Lu's general order and asked him to go to the general's mansion in the city to discuss matters.

Mu Sheng put on his armor and rode directly to the county guard's mansion.

Seeing Mu Sheng present, Lu Sheng directly issued a military order and said, "General Mu takes the order." ”

Mu Sheng stepped forward respectfully and said, "The last general." ”

Lu Sheng said, "Mu Sheng's troops went to Shun'an County to assist in the defense of the local garrison, and officially belonged to the generals under the command of this general, General Deng Xin, and the subordinates of General Deng Xin, who were ready to be dispatched at any time, and went deep into the enemy territory with the large army to besiege the Nanban Mountain puppet Lao Chaoyu (Yu) City. ”

Mu Sheng took the arrow and said loudly, "No, the last general will take the order." ”

Mu Sheng received the general's order and returned to the barracks to start the march.

In the camp, the soldiers began to put away the tents and stoves in an orderly manner, and in less than an hour, the original barracks became bare again.

Mu Sheng rode on a war horse and led the troops to the destination, its realization still belongs to the rear here, and it is still far from the front line!

The troops marched for half a month, and on the way, Mu Sheng had been observing the topography of Lingnan and correcting the marching map by the way.

The landscape is picturesque, the climate is humid, the land is fertile, the hills are dense, and there are many plains, many places have been opened up as farmland, and this place is indeed a good place.

Mu Sheng observed along the way that the counties and counties were built like military fortresses, this Mu Sheng did his homework, in fact, the development of Lingnan was a matter of 12 years of unification, when the world was just unified not long ago, the Jin army incorporated a lot of old armies left over after the destruction of the Seven Kingdoms, these people were incorporated into the Jin Army Pioneer Regiment and were sent by the emperor to Lingnan to engage in development and construction, which is equivalent to the construction corps.

The total number of these old armies reached more than 500,000 people, plus more than 800,000 family members of the army, and nearly 1 million people came here with food and camp along the way, which was actually the military colonization of the empire.

Of course, this outsider is the Jin Army Pioneer Group, plus the Nanban is also constantly stirring up trouble, no matter the size of the city here, it is basically built like a military fortress, this more than a million people are soldiers in wartime, and they are engaged in agriculture in their spare time, because they are often attacked by the natives, and they can only barely be self-sufficient in food, and they are powerless to launch a war expedition.

Mu Sheng looked back at Yan Kun behind him, he knew that he was also responsible for escorting grain and grass to Lingnan a few years ago, and he was considered a skilled worker.

Mu Sheng casually asked, "Yan Kun, I heard that we don't have 500,000 troops stationed in Lingnan?" How can you still be beaten by Nanban? ”

When Yan Kun heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "General, you don't know, the combat effectiveness of the old-style army of the Seven Kingdoms is very stretched, and these 500,000 troops look like a lot, but they can only be scattered in various cities and walled cities as garrisons, and it is relatively easy to defend, and it is necessary to fight a tough battle with the regular army of the imperial court." ”

"In addition to the 500,000 old army, Lu Sheng and the old general Lu still selected a part of the strong from the old army, and recruited a part of the local natives with a good relationship, plus Lu Sheng continued to write books, so as to say that more than 40,000 elite soldiers from the imperial court flickered from the imperial court, and finally gathered 120,000 elite troops, and now counting the general, your troops are nearly 130,000 horses, this is all the old general Lu's home, and only this army can go on an expedition, but every time you go south to fight, you have to rely on the imperial court to constantly support grain and grass from the mainland."

Mu Sheng suddenly said, "I see." ”

After three more days of marching, the team finally arrived in Thuan An County, which was relatively close to the front line.

Mu Sheng gave an order, the sergeants began to build a barracks, dig trenches, bury pots to make rice, and the county order of Shun'an County also came to the barracks to work the army.

After sending the county order away, Mu Sheng ordered the scouts to be sent out to reconnoiter around, after all, it was better to be cautious when approaching the front line, and he was not relieved until the scouts came back in the evening to report that everything around him was normal.

Mu Sheng's subordinates spent a boring little half a month here, and there were no orders from above, and there was not a single ghost of the enemy.

However, in the barracks and schoolyard, the skills of the soldiers have really improved a lot, and the viewing is naturally much higher.

At this time, when Mu Sheng was holding a military book in the camp tent and studying it carefully, a guard came to report, "General Qiyu, General Deng's messenger has arrived." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart moved, it seemed that he was about to go on an expedition, so he hurriedly went out of the camp to greet him.

After the messenger saw Mu Sheng, he stepped forward to salute and handed over the military order, saying, "I have seen the general, this is General Deng's order, please take a look at it." ”

Mu Sheng took the raft and looked at it carefully, and said, "Hmm! I know, you go back and report to General Liu, and I will pull out the camp and go to join the large army. ”

The messenger withdrew from the tent.

Mu Sheng gave an order, and the three drums in the military camp sounded, and the three armies were ordered to prepare to pull out the camp and start the village, and go to the front line of Lu'an City to join the Deng Department.

At this time, Mu Sheng suddenly pulled the reins and waved his hand to signal the troops to stop marching, turned his head to Yan Kun, Feng Wei and they gave an order, the troops began to line up in an orderly manner, and the crossbowmen also wound up their arrows and began to be on guard.

At this time, Hua Zilan stepped forward and came to him, and whispered, "Childe, do you feel it?" ”

Mu Sheng nodded silently and said, "Hmm! Look at the surroundings......"

Hua Zilan looked around, there was a hill in front of her and a hill in the west, and the mountains were all dense forests.

Hua Zilan said: "This place is very suitable for ambushes. ”

Just now, the two of them felt almost at the same time, and although there seemed to be an aura nearby, although it was very hidden, there was a feeling of being followed, and they were masters......

Combined with the terrain of the valley not far ahead, where the troops were about to pass, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and ordered the troops to be on alert and stopped.

Mu Sheng turned his head and said, "Yan Kun, you immediately send scouts to the two mountains in front of you to reconnoitre. ”

"No!"

Yan Kun received the order and ordered the scouts to go to investigate, and Mu Sheng was in charge of the troops for the first time, but he was still careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, so he had to order to be on guard in place.

The scout came to report, "General Qiyu, there is no abnormality in the valley ahead." ”

Mu Sheng added, "Go to the valley and investigate carefully." ”

The scouts were ordered to leave, and the troops continued to march until they reached the vicinity of the valley mouth.

Yan Kun suddenly stepped forward and said, "General, come with me to the valley to have a look." ”

Mu Sheng's heart moved when he heard this, it seemed that he still found something abnormal, Mu Sheng, Yan Kun, Feng Wei and other senior generals all climbed to the top of the mountain, anyway, the hill was not high, and when they reached the top of the mountain, everyone found that there were footprints that many people had stepped on in the woods here, which looked extremely messy.

Yan Kun stepped forward to me and said, "The general is well aware of everything, there are indeed thousands of people ambushed here, if we pass through the valley mouth unsuspected, we will definitely lose a lot of ......."

Mu Sheng raised his head slightly when he heard this, and secretly said that he was lucky!

It seems that this monastic path can also be used in this place, and the monk's five senses are different from ordinary people, and they feel something in their hearts at the slightest disturbance.

He turned to the two and asked, "Strange! How did the enemy know about our marching routes? ”

At this moment, a scout came to report: "Report to the General, we have found the body of General Deng's messenger in front of the valley. ”

Mu Sheng, Yan Kun and the others looked at each other, and then everyone realized that it was the messenger who had been intercepted and killed, but he also admired the other party's methods, how could he send someone to set up an ambush here in a short time.

Mu Sheng looked at the footprints on the ground, and said in his heart, he roughly estimated that there were at least one or two thousand people here, and they hurriedly retreated when they saw our scouts coming to investigate.

Mu Sheng turned back to the scout and ordered, "You are probing, see the ...... of the enemy retreating in that direction"

The scout took the order and left.

Feng Weidao, "General, we should be careful along the way, this is already very close to the front line, anyway, General Deng didn't say when we will report to Lu'an City, for the sake of safety, the marching speed should be slow......"

Mu Sheng immediately agreed with Feng Wei's opinion.
