Xu Qingmu waited for a long circle before returning to the military camp.
General Wang Zhongxin personally sent a lot of herbs to warm and nourish the injured body, and explained their uses and measurements. He also reminded people of their fate and must control the heat. Cao Dan nodded as if pounding garlic, and took note of it carefully with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Cao Dan, who was immersed in his memory of every medicine and effect, didn't even notice that General Wang was gone. Xu Qingmu met General Wang who was silent, pointed to the military tent, and the two quietly left, walking side by side.
"What do you think about the enemy attack?" General Wang asked.
This middle-aged man always has a convincing temperament, perhaps because he has been fighting for a long time on the battlefield and crawling out of the dead. Once this man shows his warm side, he will give people a sense of peace and trust. Xu Jiajun
The strength of the past was forged with the blood of every soldier. Which one is a coward who throws away his armor? Even an old man living alone by the river who cut off his arm in his later years has advanced the past of killing enemies on the battlefield. His eyes are bright.
Raise your arms and shout! This feeling of family and country that is engraved in the bones, and the blood of the generals and soldiers are united and united, has achieved the Xu dynasty's grand goal of continuously expanding its territory. Although various forces in the DPRK have secretly gathered in recent years to check and balance each other,
But it was also under the control of King Xu Yan. It was just like a quarrel and friction between several brothers in the family. Once there was an external conflict, who wouldn't work together with bare arms and unite as one?
Therefore, General Wang knew the answer, but he just kept it secret. There were 170 people in the army, large and small, all of whom he had handpicked as his trusted confidants. There was no detail about the family history. Who could do such a trick?
Not to mention being able to directly report the accurate name, but it is also easy to reduce the number of people to one hand. I just want to see if the young man in front of me has only eaten a lot of crap in the past twelve years in Funiu Town.
.
Xu Qingmu raised his head with a playful smile, looked at General Wang and said, "How about I just take the general to arrest the person?"
The strong man who killed the enemy like a butcher on the battlefield nodded with satisfaction, but was a little embarrassed: "It is my general's negligence to not be strict in running the army and to judge people accurately."
Xu Qingmu waved his hand and continued: "It doesn't matter, it's a blessing in disguise. I originally planned to stay in the army for this month and go to the wilderness battlefield. On the way, I would learn some medical skills from Vice Captain Wang and find some good boxing skills.
Training. Fortunately, someone secretly took action, so I had to prepare in advance."
Xu Qingmu kicked away a fist-sized stone at his feet, held the back of his head with both hands, and hummed a nursery rhyme that Master Lin Xiao from Funiu Town had taught him and Lin Zhenbei:
In April, wheat legs turn yellow.
Every family is busy in the fields; a three-year-old child is looking for cow grass,
My eighty-year-old father-in-law gave me tea.
General Wang did not understand the meaning, but Xu Qingmu suddenly asked: "Has the route to the wilderness frontier been planned?"
"The chosen route is called the 'official road'. The scouts in the army will explore the route first and hand it over to the Kanyu Division in the army to formulate it, which can ensure safety on the road. This is one of the reasons why we need to rest and recuperate every time we march to a place.
one."
Xu Qingmu nodded and pointed to the endless barren mountains and ridges: "Is it possible to choose these remote places to march?"
General Wang raised his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by Xu Qingmu. There were many isolated graves and wild tombs, and the vegetation was lush and it was hard to find track. He said: "It is not impossible to open up a wilderness road alone, but the marching speed is relatively slow, and there are many obstacles when walking on the mountain road.
There are also a lot of rogues and bandits." General Wang looked down at the young man and said, "The reason why the borderland Xiongnu land is difficult to attack is not because our Xu family army is not capable or strong enough, but because the Xiongnu land is full of forests and swamps, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Most of the Xu family's troops are heavy cavalry and heavy armor. They have the highest combat power but lack the ability to fight for a long time. Therefore, it is difficult to use their full strength when fighting in such terrain."
The young man nodded. When he heard General Wang's explanation, he understood that he had misunderstood him. However, Xu Qingmu did not explain much. He just reminded him softly: "General Wang, it's time for the evening training camp. It's time to go back."
Before reaching the entrance of the village, Shen Xiuqi rushed past. The fat man who had prepared to follow him in the morning was directly warned by Cao Dan with his fist raised not to follow her and Xu Qingmu. Strange to say, he used to be unruly and relied on his uncle's strength. The fat man, who always showed off his power and power, became more cautious and self-effacing after learning about Cao Dan's daughter. He even controlled his appetite a lot, which was considered a strange thing in the army. The fat man stood in front of the two people and bowed respectfully. General Wang gave a military salute, and after the general left, he grabbed Xu Qingmu:
"How are your injuries?"
"It doesn't matter." Xu Qingmu said, stretching out his arms and jumping up and down twice. The fat man was the first close friend of Xu Qingmu after Lin Zhenbei. I remembered that in Funiu Town, orphans who had been without fathers and mothers since childhood were everywhere. He was bullied by people of the same age or even older people in the village, so Xu Qingmu cherished everyone who was kind to him, and Fatty was one of them.
The fat man walked around Xu Qingmu twice and said angrily: "Cao Dan has been following you for a day. Where did he go and what did he do?"
Xu Qingmu smiled and said: "Just go and ask Cao Dan. She has been guiding me around the whole day."
The fat man, who had been so energetic just now, suddenly became exhausted and said listlessly: "I went to ask about it just now, and she said not to disturb her while she was cooking the medicine, and she told me to get out of here."
Xu Qingmu had no choice but to persuade the fat man: "She's just like that. She's a talker, but she has a heart. Don't take it to heart. Let's go, the evening training is about to begin."
With a whistle, one hundred and seventy soldiers, large and small, all gathered in the open space in the courtyard. The old beggar and Old Man Li also reluctantly put down their treasures. After a whole day of discussion, they both sat outside the door and watched. Wang Zhongxin gave a group lecture.
Xu Qingmu quietly put the purple luminous beads he bought in the morning into his pocket, and when the army was integrated, he happened to throw them out without leaving a trace. Xu Qingmu made a report and quickly scanned the entire army the moment he picked up the luminous beads. Unexpectedly, the feet of the two soldiers were shining with light.
Li Chengru stroked his short beard and nodded in praise: "A boy can be taught."
The old beggar folded his arms in front of his chest and said proudly: "That's his son, no matter whose son it is." The fairy, who was as far away as a goddess in the palace, was the one who had caught a glimpse of her from afar before, and had long been on the sword list. The No. 1 Sword Emperor was also satisfied. Of course, Li Chengru didn't know about these old beggars' Xiao Jiujiu. Everyone said that the old beggars were very good at talking, but they still didn't eat meat. The reason was not worth studying in detail. .
Things like love and love are not something outsiders should understand.
After it was over, Xu Qingmu walked directly into General Wang's military tent.
"The two people here today are both veterans who have been in the army for ten years. What are we going to do, kill them as a warning to others?" General Wang dismissed the servants and asked Xu Qingmu to sit down.
"A veteran of ten years could do something like this, knowingly committing a capital crime. He was forced to do it." After a pause, he continued, "General Wang, I have two things to ask of you. I hope General Wang will grant me your permission."
"Tell me."
"I don't think a ten-year soldier who can be led by General Wang is a person who is greedy for glory and wealth, so it is very likely that his family will be coerced. So I would like to ask General Wang to take care of them and protect them."
"Second, I want to break away from the army and form a smaller team, avoid new trails, and choose to march in barren mountains and ridges. The journey may be slow, but fortunately the number of people is small, so it shouldn't be How much legwork time is wasted."
After thinking for a while, General Wang said: "I will take care of the families of those two people according to the arrangement of close relatives in the court. As for what you said about leaving the army... that's fine, let Captain Shen Haisu lead the team. You guys are walking around the mountain road."
"Thank you, General."
Looking at the young man going out, General Wang took a deep breath. He picked up the writing brush from the table and started writing a letter.
This master deserves to be followed to death by me, Wang Zhongxin.
