Halfway through Mao time.
The rising sun is rising in the east.
Smoke from the Yan army's temporary camp.
It has all dissipated.
After eating and drinking, Wen Baocai, Lu Qingshan and his party gathered in a tent again.
Quietly waiting for the Yan army to set off.
Then he went to the headquarters camp with all the officers and soldiers of the Yan army.
As for leading his subordinate Pao Ze alone to return to the headquarters camp.
From beginning to end, Wen Baocai never even thought about it, nor did he dare to think about it.
The most valuable thing about people is self-awareness.
What Wen Baocai lacks most is self-knowledge.
He knew that his village could be lucky enough to get out of the heavy blockade of the Huns scouts with fourteen people.
This is already the great luck of the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.
If he led his thirteen brothers back to the main camp alone without knowing whether to live or die.
What awaits Wen Baocai and his party is definitely the fate of death and no life.
not to mention.
At the beginning, Xia Houdong only ordered the ten scouts, including himself, to deliver the message.
There is no mention of the need to ask for documents from the Yan army and return to the main camp after delivering the letter.
As far as Wen Baocai is concerned.
The mission of this trip has been achieved.
As for when the Yan army will set out and when it will reach its headquarters camp.
This matter was beyond his control as a small village leader.
That's why.
Having nothing to do, Wen Baocai eats and drinks when he needs to, and he is really free and easy.
At this time, Wen Baocai was lying on his side on the simple bed.
The whole world is talking nonsense with a bunch of robes.
"well."
"What a pity, what a pity."
"It would be great if there was wine here and you could drink freely."
I don't know how much time passed, but Wen Baocai, who was just in the middle of chatting, suddenly became addicted to alcohol.
He couldn't help but slap his thigh suddenly, and said with regret on his face.
The words are over.
Without waiting for Lu Qingshan and others to speak.
Suddenly, there was a low but exciting sound of war drums outside the camp.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"Dong dong dong!"
Wen Baocai calmed down for a moment and listened carefully for more than ten breaths before his expression suddenly straightened.
"It's the rally drum."
"Come on, it's time for us to go out."
Wen Baocai calmed down his laxity and spoke in a deep voice with a serious face.
The words are over.
Wen Baocai was the first to walk out of the camp.
Lu Qingshan and the other thirteen people all stood up silently after hearing this.
Follow Wen Baocai out of the camp.
However, when Wen Baocai and his party walked out of the camp.
But all of them stayed in place with slightly dull eyes.
Looking from where Wen Baocai and others were.
As far as the eye can see.
Astonishingly, countless Yan army soldiers could be seen flying out of the tents one after another.
Later, five people formed a team, and two teams formed a team at a speed that far exceeded Wen Baocai's and his team's imagination.
Wushi formed a tun, two tuns formed a bo, and five bo formed a qu.
Then they formed a formation in a straight line and marched quickly towards the Chinese army's banner with uniform steps.
And because the steps of the Yan army soldiers were too uniform.
Wen Baocai, Lu Qingshan and the others suddenly felt that even the earth was trembling under the feet of the Yan army soldiers.
besides.
The most incredible thing for Wen Baocai and his party was that the entire process of gathering the Yan army was so smooth.
It was as if every step in assembling the army was deeply engraved in the bones of every soldier of the Yan army.
"this......"
"This this....
...."
Lu Qingshan stared dumbfoundedly at the Yan army's formation, which was marching towards the Chinese army's banner with uniform steps.
It's been a long time, but I still can't say a complete sentence.
"This is the army under the command of His Highness King Yan."
"Even if you have a glimpse of the enemy, it's hard to imagine how powerful the soldiers of the Yan Army are."
After the several Yan army formations around him were completely gone, Wen Baocai, who gradually came back to his senses, couldn't help but murmured softly.
He seemed to be talking to Lu Qingshan, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Tun...tunnel chief..."
"When will our Da San Pass be as powerful as the Yan army?"
Lu Qingshan, who gradually came out of his stunned state, looked enviously at the direction where the Yan army's formation disappeared, and asked with longing.
"fear......"
"How would I know?"
As soon as Wen Baocai's inner words came out of his mouth, he realized something was wrong and quickly changed his tone.
"It would be great if our Dasanguan army could be as powerful as the Yan army."
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be filled with longing after hearing this.
But for some reason, when Lu Qingshan talked about this, there was always a lingering sadness deep in his eyes.
He was originally a scholar, and he aspired to be a tourist in Chang'an when he was named on the gold medal list, and to be honored by nobles and nobles.
However, when he was still young, his family suffered misfortunes one after another.
In the end, Lu Qingshan had no choice but to abandon his pen and join the army.
He hopes to change his destiny through military exploits.
Therefore, after successfully entering Dashan Pass.
Then he resolutely chose the one with the highest risk factor.
But he is also the scout who is most likely to make meritorious deeds.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared to dying in battle, he is more afraid of never getting ahead.
However.
The headquarters' successive defeats in late May made him realize this.
The headquarters that he originally regarded as his hope was not as powerful as he imagined.
And the saddest thing is that what will happen even if he works hard to achieve success?
As long as the headquarters does not return with a great victory, all military achievements will be discounted.
"perhaps."
"Yan Jun is my final destination."
Lu Qingshan stared at the Yan army that had completely disappeared from sight.
The longing in his eyes gradually became more intense.
It's just that this vision is not that vision.
"There will come a time."
Just when Lu Qingshan stared longingly at the direction where the Yan army's formation disappeared.
Wen Baocai patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder gently, and then spoke to comfort him.
Although it is said that there will always be a day.
But in fact, after talking to Sun Baihu of the Yan Army yesterday.
Wen Baocai was particularly clear in his heart.
If Yan Jun can always practice one day at a time.
Then the soldiers of Dasanguan will never be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yan army.
As for surpassing the Yan army, it is even more nonsense.
As the saying goes: "Details determine success or failure."
This is the case between the officers and soldiers of Dashan Pass and the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army.
The elite of Dasanguan who practice once every three days and do exercises every five days.
How can we stand shoulder to shoulder or even surpass the soldiers of the Yan army who are training every day?
Moreover.
Even the officers and soldiers of Dashan Pass or the guard general Xia Houdong of Dashan Pass want to practice one day at a time.
It is also difficult to actually do it and carry it out in the long run.
And the reason why I say this.
It is not because the officers and soldiers of Dasanguan are not as good as the officers and soldiers of Yan army.
It's not because the power and prestige of Dashan Pass guard general Xia Houdong is not great enough.
But because of money and food.
Soldiers for one day
The money and food consumed for one practice is far more than the money and food consumed for three days of training and five days of exercise, which is still more than the money and food consumed.
The officers and soldiers of the Great Sanguan Pass were paid regardless of their military pay or daily necessities.
All come from the imperial government's finances.
The imperial court only allocates so much military expenditure every year, one carrot and one hole.
If Dasanguan occupies one more pit, the other troops will have one less pit.
Under such circumstances, which general would want others to take more of it?
...
...
In front of a tent in the temporary camp of the Yan Army.
Lu Qingshan felt the warmth coming from his shoulders.
So I couldn't help but hide all my inner thoughts deep in my heart.
"Tuen Chief."
"Where are we going now?"
"Should we go back to the camp or..."
Lu Qingshan calmed down for a moment, then changed the subject.
"startled."
Wen Baocai was startled when he heard this.
If it is according to its original idea.
He was supposed to lead his subordinate Pao Ze to follow the Yan army soldiers to the central army.
But when he came out of the shock of the Yan army's smooth gathering process.
The Yan army officers and soldiers around him had already disappeared in formation.
So when Lu Qingshan asked.
Wen Baocai didn't know for a while whether he should go to the Chinese army alone or return to the camp and wait.
Just when Wen Baocai didn't know what to do.
Suddenly a horse came up ahead.
The man on the horse was no one else. It was Sun Xingwang and Sun Baihu who were ordered to check his identity yesterday.
"Sun Baihu."
Wen Baocai calmed down for a moment, then walked quickly to meet him and greeted him with fists in his hands.
"Chief Wen."
Sun Xingwang reined in his horse and stopped two steps away from Wen Baocai. He turned over and dismounted, then clasped his fists and returned the salute.
"Chief Wen."
"Captain Xin has an order."
"If Commander Wen wants to return to the main camp."
"You can get fourteen war horses and ten days of dry food from the quartermaster's office."
"If Commander Wen is not in a hurry to return to the headquarters camp."
"Then you can stay in the camp for a few more days."
"In the past few days, Sun has been serving as the guide to Chief Wen."
Sun Xingwang spoke unhurriedly.
"startled."
"Just now Wen heard the rally drum and saw the soldiers of your army rallying to the central army."
"Isn't it about setting off to break camp?"
Wen Baocai couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked in a low voice.
"Chief Wen misunderstood."
"There's still other things to take care of here."
"Our army has no plans to break camp and set off."
"The assembly drum just now was just for daily drills."
Sun Xingwang smiled when he heard this, and then spoke.
This is one statement.
Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up instantly as he stood not far behind Wen Baocai.
There was an instant fiery battle in my heart.
However, he still retained some sense after all.
He just stared at Wen Baocai's back eagerly.
He walked forward without stepping over others.
"Sun Baihu."
"The mission of Mr. Wen's trip has been accomplished."
Wen Baocai pondered for a few breaths, and then spoke tactfully.
As soon as these words came out, Sun Xingwang instantly understood what Wen Baocai meant.
"That's it."
"During this period, Sun served as Wen Tuen's chief guide."
Sun Xingwang smiled.
"This will cause trouble to Sun Baihu."
Upon hearing this, Wen Baocai leaned deeply and clasped his fists in salute.
"What's the trouble? We are all guests from afar."
Sun Xingwang smiled lightly and opened
Mouth said.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Just as Sun Xingwang was talking to Wen Baocai.
The place where the Chinese army was located in the distance suddenly sounded the low but passionate sound of war drums again.
"March drum."
Wen Baocai listened carefully for more than ten breaths, and gradually made a judgment in his heart.
"Sun Baihu."
"This march of the snare drum..."
Wen Baocai calmed down for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"The camp here is too small, so it is difficult to deploy it during training."
Sun Xingwang heard the words and answered.
"Wen... Wen, a certain group of people... also haven't practiced for many days."
"No...I don't know...I don't know if it is possible..."
Wen Baocai couldn't help but feel a move in his heart when he heard the words, so he cautiously probed.
Everyone is curious, and Wen Baocai is no exception.
He also wanted to know what kind of training method Sun Xingwang's so-called one-a-day training yesterday was.
"Our officers and soldiers have been training each other for a long time."
Sun Xingwang frowned for a moment when he heard this.
Then he politely declined Wen Baocai's request to train with him.
"It was Wen who was abrupt."
Wen Baocai couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and then he repeatedly apologized with fists in his hands.
"It's not because Sun doesn't want to."
"In fact, our soldiers have been getting along with each other for a long time."
"If Chief Wen joins rashly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to adapt."
"They are all afraid that not only will it be useless, but it will actually be harmful."
"If Chief Wen is willing to practice on his own outside our army's battle formation."
"Sun can now take Commander Wen to the place where our army will be training today."
Sun Xingwang calmed down for a moment, then changed the topic.
If it hadn't been for the special instructions from Commander Qu when he arrived, Sun Xingwang would never have said anything more.
"Like...so..."
"This will help hundreds of families."
When Wen Baocai heard this, he was instantly overjoyed and couldn't help but lean over and clasp his fists repeatedly.
This was the original intention. Sun Xingwang had just misunderstood it before.
In contrast, Wen Baocai was overjoyed and leaned over to salute.
Although Lu Qingshan, who was behind him, was far more joyful than him, he was still relatively restrained after all.
"For our army, we are just like guests when we come from afar."
"Captain Wen, there is no need to be polite."
Sun Xingwang calmed down for a moment, then said with a smile.
As for his true inner thoughts, that is unknown.
Not long after.
Wen Baocai, Lu Qingshan and their party were led by Sun Xingwang.
He took the lead to leave the temporary camp on horseback and headed straight towards the training ground three miles away.
at the same time.
The place where the Yan army's military envoy is located.
Four thousand officers and soldiers of the Yan army who were about to conduct daily drills were reduced to pieces amidst the rumble of war drums.
In units of songs, they quickly headed towards their respective places where horses were tied to horses.
Not long after.
The place where the Chinese army was originally almost overcrowded.
It became empty again.
After the last song, the soldiers completely disappeared from sight.
Xin Sixuan, Xu Yi and others walked down the command platform slowly and quickly.
They walked straight towards their respective horses.
Just when Xu Yi was about to reach the war horse.
Suddenly, a Wenxin Baiwei walked towards Xu Yixing quickly.
"Owner."
Wenxin Baiwei walked to Xu Yi's side, leaned down deeply, cupped his fists and saluted.
"How's it going?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then got on his horse unhurriedly.
"Return to the master."
"Wen Baocai and his party have followed Sun Xingwang to the training ground."
Wenxin Baiwei quickly reported the news.
"Screen more."
Xu Yi nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then gave instructions.
"Follow the order!"
After hearing this, Wenxin Baiwei solemnly held his fists and accepted the order.
The words are over.
The Wenxin Baiwei then bowed again and retired.
After the figure of Wenxin Baiwei completely disappeared.
Xu Yi sat on the horseback and looked at the training ground three miles away for more than ten seconds.
A meaningful smile gradually appeared on the face covered by the green-faced fang mask.
"My lord."
Just as Xu Yi looked at the training ground.
Xin Sixuan drove his horse up without any hesitation.
"Let's go."
Xu Yi smiled when he heard this and then drove his horse forward.
