Chapter 39 Treasury (2)

"Kiss? Touch and smash?"

"Is this a damn code?"

Just when Zhu Gaoxu was surprised, a veteran walked out of the darkness of Heimama.

His face, beard, eyelashes, and iron armor were covered with frost, but his eyes were particularly bright. His steps were steady and he did not make any sound when he walked.

"Shishou!" The veteran came over to salute Lan Yu.

"Is it peaceful last night?" Lan Yu asked patted Han Shuang on the other party's neck.

"There is not a single ghost!" the veteran grinned, "But there were three groups of people at the foot of the mountain, two of which were merchants rushing together, and one of them was an escort agency. The escort agency carried weapons, but there were no elders." As he said, he smiled again, "It looked like they were strong men, but they all looked like they were all whispering."

Lan Yu nodded and said to Zhu Gaoxu, "Look, this is the soldier!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the veteran's rough cheeks and big hands that looked like stones, "He is... the scout in your army before?"

The scouts are all elite soldiers in the army, each of which is a choice of veterans who have polished countless times on the battlefield. They can be said to be the top leader in the hearts of the commander.

Just like the scout camp under his father Zhu Di, the leader was Zhu Neng. Although there were only 1,300 people, they were all very arrogant. Zhu Neng, a commander, did not take ordinary generals seriously.

"He is not a scout!" Lan Yu smiled, "He doesn't accept it at night!"

Then, Lan Yu said to the veteran, "It's getting late, let the brothers take it back and prepare breakfast to go to the camp."

"Here!" The veteran didn't say a word.

"Wait!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a little disgusted and said, "He has been outside for a night, let him take a look." As he said, he said, "You also said that you can't stand it if you keep a watch..."

Lan Yu didn't say anything, but instead smiled, the kind of childish smile that adults laughed at children.

The veteran also smiled, smiling honestly, "The good intentions of a thousand years, the villain has appreciated it. When we are on the way, the villain has time to sleep."

"How do you sleep when you are on the way?" Zhu Gaoxu said strangely.

"On the horse's back!" The veteran put down three words, stood up and disappeared.

~~~

Lan Yu, Zhu Gaoxu and his group, less than a hundred people, had already set off when it was dawn.

Zhu Gaoxu paid special attention to the veterans under Lan Yu's command. They were divided into three waves, one wave of people riding horses as scouts. These people seemed to be free from strength to force, and did not urge the war horses. They were always at the same pace and had two arrows apart from each other.

There was also a wave of wandering on the side of the team, holding the bow with his left hand and always holding a few arrows with his right hand. The spear was hung on the victory hook, within reach.

There was another wave, lying on the bumpy horse's back, making snoring sounds.

"This has compared my father's personal soldiers." Zhu Gaoxu compared Lan Yu's soldiers with Zhu Di's soldiers. "My father's soldiers are arrogant and do not take anyone seriously. But these veterans don't look at them, but they all have all their abilities."

Then he looked at his personal soldiers. Although they were neatly dressed, there were still people yawning on the horse's back and talking and laughing.

"It's still far!" he said in his heart.

As if he could see through his heart, Lan Yu immediately said softly, "Old man, my people are all climbed out of the dead. It would be amazing to have one of the 10,000 such soldiers."

"It's hard to come by, and you don't need to think that all your subordinates are like this. If all your subordinates are like this, you may not be able to lose."

Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled.

"Isn't it better to be more powerful?"

"Soldiers are like swords!" Lan Yu patted his knife hilt, "How long can a knife last?"

Zhu Gaoxu answered seriously, "If you go into battle, one knife will be ruined after two fights!"

"Yes, no matter how good the knife is, after a few times of chopping, it will either be rolled or broken and cannot be used again. Therefore, the swords and guns in the army are based on simplicity and patience. There should be so many flower heads, and they should not be eye-catching or useless."

"The same is true for soldiers."

"Think about it, the two armies fought tens of thousands of people in a melee battle, and the elites were responsible for it. In the past, did the elite Tartars kill how many of our mud legs?"

"As long as the soldier is obedient, he is a good soldier. The elite can only be used in specific places and people can do their best."

"Besides, soldiers are also used for consumption, they are all going to die anyway..."

Zhu Gaoxu was half-knowing and half-understanding, and thoughtful.

"The same sentence, I forgot what you learned from your father before!" Lan Yu held the reins and spoke slowly, "You used to be with your father, and you brought cavalry. If you really want to practice, you still have to bring infantry. When will your infantry be brought clearly, you will be qualified!"

As he said that, he smiled proudly again, "You kid may always curse me in secret, saying that I look down on your father."

"It's not that he looks down on him, but that he hasn't learned it himself. His trick is a spendthrift. If it weren't for so many old corpses under his command, he might not have...... in recent years."

"Forget it, when you always scold me, you feel unhappy. I, an old man, cannot be disrespectful to me." Lan Yu said again, "You have to remember that if you want to become a talent, you must first fight to death."

"It's better than the enemy everywhere, that's not war, that's bullying. Only by being inferior to others can you develop your skills!"

"Ship Lan, you...you seem to like more infantry than cavalry!" Zhu Gaoxu asked, "But several of your most outstanding wars back then seemed to be cavalry?"

"I'm not as good as Wang Bi when using cavalry!" Lan Yu didn't hide it and said bluntly, "He is good at using troops to attack sideways. I prefer to go step by step and move forward with a down-to-earth!"

"When I met the army of the Tartars, I bit Wang Bi head-on and inserted a knife from the flank."

"Cabinets are better than cavalry, but if you really want to win battles and attack cities and plunder land, you still have to rely on infantry."

"The Mongols..."

"There is no comparison. They were born on horseback since childhood. Children in their teens were qualified cavalrymen." Lan Yu said in a lesson tone, "What is the most powerful of us Han people is long spears, heavy armor, large shields and heavy bows. Now we have cannons and muskets, which are listed in the battle formation."

"Besides, when the Mongols swept the world, they were not relying on infantry to attack the city. Did he ride a horse and climb the city wall?"

As he said that, he snorted again, "The old man fought with them all his life. When did they break through my formation?"

Then he looked a little solemn, "But then again, the infantry of his country is not weak. Unlike us, we rely on arrays, we can dismount and form a formation to attack, and we can get on the horse and retreat and detour, which is difficult to deal with!"

"People who lead troops can despise the enemy, but they must also pay attention to them. Learn from others' strengths for themselves and make up for their own shortcomings. Be frivolous before fighting, and be cautious when fighting."

"This time I go to Yunnan with Lan Shuai, I will definitely learn from you!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "It's interesting to follow you!"

"Ha!" Lan Yu smiled and suddenly sighed, "We are both men and women, you are willing to learn from each other. I am not aware of the old man's selfishness, as long as you don't mind the old man's long-windedness!"

As he said that, he sighed again, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid you can't learn much!"

Zhu Gaoxu said anxiously, "What are you saying, Lan Shuai? As long as you are willing to teach, I will learn." As he said, he said, "I...I can become a disciple!"

"Ha!" Lan Yu laughed, "Are you a disciple? What are you using as a gift for a meeting?" Then, he reached out and patted Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder, "You are not a bad child, but you have learned a little...a arrogant."

"Actually, I was also very kind when I was a teenager. I was not arrogant and ruthless. But I had to be arrogant and had to behave properly. If I was arrogant, I would be ungrateful and unruly."

"If you learn to lead troops from me, I will naturally know everything. But as a human being, don't learn from me."
