Chapter 83: The Shepherdess's Hour (Part II)

Gesang naturally cheered, turned to the poor herdsmen who dragged their families and said happily: "As I said, you will definitely be able to live in my tribe." Those officials of the Tang Dynasty don't like to keep a straight face, in fact, they are very kind in their hearts!"

Naturally, the rejoicing shepherds are grateful to Dade.

Only one of them, the eldest sloppy old man, asked worriedly, "Honorable and beautiful Chief Gesang, we are grateful that you can take us in." But what if the chieftain of our old tribe brought someone to bring us back?"

As soon as these words came out, a group of shepherds looked worried.

It turned out that life was difficult for the tribe, and if they were brought back, they would have to bear the wrath of the chief.

Gesang crossed his hands on his hips and said indifferently: "Don't worry, no one can take you away from me, the Tang Dynasty official just now, you all saw it, right?

"It's not like no one came to ask for someone before, but no one really dares to make trouble in front of Tang Jun, so you can live in peace. I'll have you set up tents, and from tomorrow you'll be grazing with me!"

Seeing that Gesang was so confident, the herdsmen were all reassured.

And Gesang saw them celebrating each other excitedly, and he was smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyes.

She used to be like these people, she was not well fed and clothed, and she was oppressed by the big tribes, and her life was so hard and bitter that many times, even her own chief could not protect herself.

It's different now, she's a chief herself, and her tribe is much bigger than when she was a child, and she has the ability to protect others!

When she saw others as struggling as she was when she was a child, Gesang couldn't help but have a sour nose, and as long as the other party was willing, she would take them back to her tribe and let them eat and drink spicy food with her.

This kind of thing can give Gesang the purest and most satisfying happiness.

Oh, by the way, and those little lambs, old cows, it is also very worrying to see that they are not full of food, and they have to grow fat and strong.

Thinking of this, Gesang felt a heavy responsibility and was full of energy, shook his little fist, and said to himself: Gesang, it seems that I will continue to work hard tomorrow and take everyone to graze well!

As soon as Zhang Changan was about to go back to his tent, Chu Zheng came out of nowhere, with a malicious smile on his face, "I saw that legendary shepherdess, it's really beautiful." Seeing that she is obedient to you, tell me quickly, is there any ulterior secret between you?"

Zhang Changan rolled his eyes, "Baiyi Baishun, where did you see it? It's me who is almost obedient to her!"

Chu Zheng whistled exaggeratedly, "Zhang Gongzi, it turns out that you are also a lover who is sad to pass the beauty pass, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

The two returned to Zhang Chang'an's tent together, and Chu Zheng urged the other party to take out the good wine, "Guarding such a rich tribe, you don't drive, you must be very rich, unlike me, a hard-working military rough man, with no long things." Hurry up and bring out the best wine, I'm going to rob the rich and help the poor today!"

Entertaining his best brother, Zhang Changan naturally spared no effort. Although he did not bend the law for bribes, he was on an errand in a wealthy place, and he did not lack good things.

The two chatted while eating, naturally there was endless talk.

finally

, Chu Zheng burped, and suddenly asked Zhang Changan seriously: "I said, you don't really want to marry that shepherdess, right?"

Zhang Changan scolded with a smile: "Aren't you bewitched by beauty and moved by a thief's heart?

Hearing Zhang Changan say this, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." Although the shepherdess is very good-looking, she is only a grassland woman after all, and her husband is in the world, and she must make a difference.

"I'll tell you the truth, I went back to Chang'an some time ago to report on work and met your grandfather. He said that you have also reached the age when you should marry a wife, this matter can not be delayed any longer, and he has already found a good woman for you in Chang'an, who is the daughter of the Zuo Shilang family of the Ministry of War!"

Zhang Changan was stunned, "You can't be serious, right?"

Chu Zheng pursed his lips, "I brought all the people, can it be fake?"

Zhang Chang'an suddenly felt his scalp tingle. In fact, he had already received his grandfather's letter, and he had mentioned it in the letter, but he didn't care, how could the daughter of the soldier marry him?

Unexpectedly, now everyone is here!

Seeing Zhang Changan's cramped appearance, Chu Zheng said with a smile: "People are not here to meet you, she is a talented woman in the Immortal Medicine Workshop, and this time she is responsible for improving the physique of the war horse." But then again, although people don't look as good as the shepherdess, they are not bad, and you will definitely not suffer if you marry her. ”

At the end of the next day, 3,000 fine war horses were driven to the barracks and school grounds, which were the first objects to be fed with pills. Chu Zheng and Zhang Changan followed their respective chiefs to the school to observe the grand occasion.

"If you see it, it's the one who is the leader, yes, it's the one who is tall and has an arrogant and cold face. Don't look at her cold look, this is really not people's pride, I heard that she focuses on the way of pills and doesn't care much about things outside, so that's what she looks like. Chu Zheng introduced to Zhang Changan with great interest.

Zhang Changan carefully observed the half-ring, and admitted that the other party was indeed a beauty, but he didn't have any special feelings.

However, in the case of family marriage, it doesn't matter whether the parties feel it at first or not.

After more than half an hour, each of the war horses was fed with pills, and Chu Zheng led the soldiers to drive them out of the camp and go to the field to judge the effect.

And this is seven days.

Seven days later, Chu Zheng returned with a herd of war horses.

When Zhang Changan saw this group of war horses again, he couldn't help but look awkward.

Although the appearance of these war horses has not changed much, the color of their fur is red, and he is keenly aware that these war horses not only show a fierce light, but also their aura has become quite powerful, and their bodies have aura fluctuations equivalent to those of a first-level Qi cultivator!

Zhang Changan preliminarily estimated that the group of war horses in front of him could travel 500 miles a day, and the threat to them from ordinary swords and arrows was not too great. These war horses are now not only domineering, but also have a hidden wisdom glow, and obviously their wisdom has also improved a lot.

After Chu Zheng reported the situation to the commander of the army, he drove the war horse into a separate stable to guard, and was busy for a long time, and when he found Zhang Changan at night, he explained to him the effect of this experiment.

"Half of the horses have not withstood the effectiveness, and the seven orifices have bled to death, and half of them have gone berserk, rushing around in the wild, and have been hunted by us. The remaining ninety percent have been preliminarily confirmed to be available.

"Of course, this is the result of the Immortal Medicine Workshop's continuous improvement of the elixir. And that's just the first

The medicinal properties of the pill are also the mildest. There are still several batches of elixirs to be fed in the future, and they will continue to improve their strength. In the end, how many of them can become real fierce beasts and war horses depends on their respective creations.

"However, according to the plan of the Immortal Medicine Workshop, the follow-up elixir will not be fed to every war horse, but will only be selected. After all, being able to have the physical strength equivalent to the first level of Qi training has already met the minimum needs of the equipment army. ”

Zhang Changan nodded again and again when he heard this, and finally asked urgently: "How many such pills has been refined in the Immortal Medicine Workshop, and how many war horses can be fed?"

If this number is huge, then the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will be invincible, conquering the world and killing all the way to the edge of the sky.

Chu Zheng heard what Zhang Changan meant, shook his head and said: "It's not as much as you imagined, this is an extremely resource-consuming thing, and now the stock of pills in the Immortal Medicine Workshop is enough for 30,000 war horses." That's why you only have 30,000 horses. ”

30,000 war horses are not much at all, in Zhang Changan's opinion, it is still too few, and even the Wolf Tooth Army cannot be equipped.

Chu Zheng continued: "But the future is promising, as long as this batch of pills is confirmed to be able to feed the war horses on a large scale, and there are no problems in the subsequent training and drills, then as long as the dynasty concentrates its resources, within two years, at least 100,000 war horses can become fierce beast war horses!"

"If the Immortal Medicine Workshop can increase production during this period, or make another breakthrough, it is not impossible to achieve 200,000. At that time, the dynasty will be prosperous!"

Zhang Changan could see that Chu Zheng was very confident and enthusiastic. If there were really 200,000 fierce beast war horses in the Qi refining period to equip the army, and then cooperate with the army of pure cultivators, the Great Tang Elite Cavalry would become another level of existence.

"What is the situation in the Western Regions now? I have been in the grassland for a long time, far away from the center, and a lot of news is very closed. You are under the command of General Shangguan, and you have her trust, so you should know a lot of information. Zhang Changan asked thoughtfully.

Chu Zheng's eyes were deep, "The two towns of Yanqi and Qiuci have been stabilized, and the state of Khotan has also expressed its submission to the imperial court and is willing to rebuild the town of Khotan." However, in recent years, the monks and elite horsemen of the Black Khanate have clashed with the Anxi Protectorate, and it is said that many people die every month.

"This is only on the surface, in the dark, the Tsing Yi Yamen, the Wukong Liberation Gate, and the Dao Gate are also frequent in the Western Regions, competing with the people of the Crescent Moon Sect everywhere, bleeding a lot from each other, and there should be a big plan and big arrangement. If you want to talk about the situation in the Western Regions, the accurate description should be: the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!"

When Zhang Changan heard this, not only did he not worry, but he was full of fighting spirit, "When will the imperial dynasty go on a large-scale expedition? I have been in the grassland for so long, I have long wanted to return to the army and charge into battle again!"

Chu Zheng glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You are now the commander of the grassland state, and you belong to the civil official sequence, how can the things on the battlefield have anything to do with you?" Don't look at me like this, it's useless to look at me, although I have the trust of General Shangguan, but General Shangguan himself is a general in the army, and now it is not wartime, so he has no right to transfer you."

"If you want to return to the army, you must either go and see Your Majesty yourself, of course, which is not very feasible, or only the military department can do something about it. ”

Seeing that Chu Zheng was about to lead the topic to the left attendant of the military department, Zhang Changan's face darkened suddenly.

I have also met a few times with the talented girl who is famous in the fairy medicine workshop these days, but Zhang Changan is really not interested in that iceberg-like woman. In contrast, Gesang, the shepherdess, is more agile and cute.
