Chapter Forty-Eight: Xining Expands the Border

During the Xining period, Emperor Shenzong had great ambitions and launched a crusade against Western Xia again in order to recover the land of Hehuang. With the support of Wang Anshi www.biquge.info Wang Shao, who was born in Jinshi, took charge of the northwest and began an offensive to advance into Western Xia. However, in the face of the increasingly urgent situation in the northwest, civilian officials are fighting each other, and civilian officials and military attaches are attacking each other. In the end, Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi judged the situation and decided to support Wang Shao wholeheartedly and took the initiative to remove obstacles for him. So Wang Shao flew into the sky like an eagle, and was able to make great plans, recover the land of Hehuang for thousands of miles, and basically complete the strategic encirclement of Western Xia. However, with Wang Anshi's resignation, the old party's counterattack was reversed, and Wang Shao and many heroes were implicated. Western Xia took the opportunity to counterattack, so that the originally good situation was lost.

It was already the beginning of August, and Mao Zheng had been coming to the Suide Army with the cultivator for a while, and he was not idle during this time, but had been inquiring about the war in the northwest. The soldiers guarding the border passes, every time Wang Shao's name was mentioned, they gave him a thumbs up and praised him for his exploits in recovering Xihe Road.

"Wang Shao was born in Jinshi, and I am also born in Jinshi now. He can do this through his talents, and although I am almost there, I must seize this opportunity to put my skills to good use. There is no one way left, and I have to go out of the road again. Mao Zheng thought in his heart.

Just as Mao Zheng was returning to the barracks, he suddenly heard the drums in the camp, and the soldiers in the camp gathered to a place under the shouts of officers at all levels. Mao Zheng inquired with the soldiers in the past and learned that the original cultivator planned to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Western Xia people to raid them.

Mao Zheng looked at the urgently mobilized soldiers, gritted his teeth, and walked towards the handsome banner of the planter, he thought to himself: "I am here this time to make meritorious contributions, if you want to make meritorious contributions, how can you not go to the battlefield? No matter what, I can't miss this opportunity." ”

Standing under the banner of Shuai, arranging the dispatch of troops, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Why are you here, you don't stay in the barracks, what are you doing here?" I have something to ask you, and I will find someone to inform you." ”

"I would like to ask, didn't we discuss the start of the war until the end of August, and why did the general start to transfer troops now? Mao Zheng said.

"I watch those party members dangling in front of my eyes all day long, and I hate them so much that I want to clean them up. Anyway, it's not a few days away from the end of the month, so what does it matter if it's early or late. You're not going to stop me like those inflexible sour literati, are you? He said a little impatiently.

"Of course I'm not here to stop the generals. I absolutely support the general's decision to send troops. I only hope that General Kind will let me go with me, and I just want to serve my country now. Mao Zheng said.

"You want to go to war with me......? It's not impossible, you just go with the team that transports the baggage. You also have a good brain, and it's good to have nothing to do with me. Said Tane.

"As a man, what is the point of shedding blood on the battlefield and hiding behind? If I was afraid of death, I would not have come with the general. My martial arts, the general has also considered it, does the general still look down on me?" Mao Zheng said with a dumbfounded face.

Chong Ge was originally a wild and uninhibited person, and when he heard Mao Zheng's words, he was also aroused, so he said: "Haha, you kid is talking very impulsively." I won't ink with you anymore, if you want to follow, then follow along, but when you see the bloody scene, you don't have to cry. Horses and weapons were prepared for him, and I wanted to see how long he could last. ”

When Mao Zheng heard the words, he was not to be outdone, and immediately took the heavy weapon handed over by a sergeant in his hand, and then turned over and got on the horse. Relying on more than a month of training and the blessing of the mana of the mana, Mao Zheng did not look foreign.

"Haha, you kid is still presentable, then just follow my banner. All the soldiers obeyed the order, went out with me, and taught those party members a good lesson. After saying that, he took a group of soldiers and went to the station of the Tangut people.

Mao Zheng couldn't show weakness, so he held on and walked forward closely with the handsome banner of the planter.

Although he is wild and uninhibited, he is actually very delicate. He had already seen that Mao Zheng had not yet adapted to the long journey, so he deliberately accelerated his pace, just to take care of Mao Zheng; on the other hand, he asked someone to secretly take care of Mao Zheng, so that when Mao Zheng was unwell, he could help him in time.

After a day's march, Mao Zheng was already tired, so he came to the camp and sat on the ground, throwing his weapon next to him, and wanted to take a good rest.

He glanced at Mao Zheng with a wicked smile in the distance, and then pretended to be serious and approached Mao Zheng, kicked the weapon that Mao Zheng threw on the ground, and said: "What are you talking about, the weapon is the life of a soldier, you throw the weapon aside like this, if the enemy comes, do you want to flee directly? If you can't, it's too late to go back now." Wait until tomorrow to fight, if something goes wrong, I won't spare you. ”

Mao Zheng listened to the words, and the stubbornness in his heart was stirred up again, he left and stood up, put the weapon in his hand again and said: "I won't do this again in the future, I will hold the weapon in my arms even if I sleep in the future." If I make any mistake on the battlefield tomorrow, the general will be able to deal with me by military law. ”

Hearing Mao Zheng's words, he raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly, and then opened his mouth and said, "Tomorrow's business, let's talk about it tomorrow." Let's talk about it today. Come, people, take out three pounds of cooked meat from my camp. With that, he laughed and turned away.

After Mao Zheng left, he sat down under a tree and held his weapon firmly in his hand.

Soon, a gang leader came over with a plate of cooked meat. After a tired day, Mao Zheng didn't pay so much attention to it, so he opened his mouth and ate it.

The leader soldier looked at Mao Zheng and munched on it, just shook his head and said, "Look at how delicious you eat." Let me tell you, our generals have never cared so much for people. Don't you know, he and several other generals have been talking in private, and they keep saying that you are a manufactur. ”

"He actually praised me?" Mao Zheng said in surprise.

"Of course pull. I've heard it with my own ears, so what's wrong?" said the man.

Mao Zheng glanced around and found that the others were just eating ordinary meals, and they also cast envious glances at him from time to time. Mao Zheng's mood suddenly improved a lot, and the fatigue and grievances of the day disappeared. He just smiled, and continued to eat cooked meat, this coarse food, which was simply incomparable to any delicacies from the mountains and seas.
