First of all, Zhao Long is indeed a good character. He hates evil as much as he hates evil. He hates corrupt officials the most. By letting him be the commander-in-chief, at least you don't have to worry about him embezzling military pay.
Secondly, Zhao Long also proved with his actual actions that he is an excellent commander who knows how to prepare for rainy days, is strict in managing troops, and can strategize and respond quickly.
He has real ability, the only thing he lacks is opportunity and the troops under his command.
Then it's time to command a few more battles to hone your skills.
Now, Wang Fugui and Han Yun gave him the opportunity. Although there were not many soldiers and horses, there were still 20,000 people. What he had to do next was to train troops and fight.
Looking at these 20,000 people, Han Yun suddenly had a bold idea. He remembered the number of an ancient special forces unit in his previous life, and recalled that unit's terrifying record of defeating many with less and being invincible.
His military power is only 20,000 people. If he wants to win the war, he must equip these 20,000 people as special forces and make them all elites.
Soldiers should be more elite than more numerous. An elite army of 20,000 people can still defeat hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.
Wang Fugui continued,
"I told Zhao Long that his position as commander-in-chief is only temporary, and you have to be the one who really makes the decision. When I get to Yumen Pass and see you, it's up to you whether you want to use him or not."
Hearing this, Zhao Long raised his head and looked at Han Yun with earnest eyes.
Han Yun smiled and said,
"Don't worry, it's just you. I will discuss the art of war with you when I have time."
"The last general takes command!"
Han Yun's casual words were of great significance to Zhao Long. He knew that it was only now that he had truly secured his position as commander of the Zhenbei Army.
Just then, a high-pitched voice came from behind them.
"Ouch, isn't this Taibao Han? Ouch, our family misses you so much. We finally meet you."
Han Yun turned around and saw Eunuch Huang trotting over with small steps.
Seeing Eunuch Huang's earnest attitude and flattering smile, everyone had black lines on their heads.
You've never been so enthusiastic about the emperor, have you?
After all, he is also the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch in charge of rituals. He is the second most eunuch among the eunuchs. Where is your face?
When Eunuch Huang was running, he stepped on the sand and fell. He faced Han Yun and fell to the ground.
The eldest prince and Chai Yuannian both laughed, but Wang Fugui narrowed his eyes. This damn eunuch is really good at flattering people. He knelt down and worshiped in the name of wrestling. There was no trace of it. He was so beautiful.
Han Yun also saw it. He sighed, took two steps forward, and helped Eunuch Huang up.
"Eunuch Huang, are you okay?"
"Ouch, look at me. My legs and feet are not good at my age. Why did I fall? It's a joke."
Eunuch Huang patted Han Yun's hand with a smile and said,
"Han Taibao, ah no, Lord Zhenbei, our family is lucky enough to be able to come and announce your decree this time. When we return to the capital, our family will have to fight with the Cao man for half a year."
"Eunuch Huang, it's been a long journey, so you should go and have a rest. We will discuss the announcement of the decree tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, thank you Lord Marquis for your concern."
After the play was over, Eunuch Huang stumbled back to the carriage.
Chai Yuan asked,
"What happened this time? Why were we attacked by the demon army in Dachuan?"
Hearing this, the smile on Han Yun's face disappeared and he said,
"It's still a sequelae of the last war. The demon clan was unwilling to accept that their king was killed, and they couldn't defeat Yumen Pass, so they had no choice but to bypass Yumen Pass to harass the caravans and attack the fortresses and beacon towers around Yumen Pass in order to take revenge. us.
But the problem is not big. The soldiers in Yumen Pass have not fought in a long time, and they have long been eager to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, improve their positions and exchange for silver rewards.
If the soldiers at Yumen Pass find out about today's great battle, they will definitely be heartbroken. Your great achievements have been robbed of you. "
The eldest prince nodded and said,
"You will be happy when you hear about the battle, and your morale will be useful."
"Let's go, we'll go back after packing up."
Han Yun said.
At this time, Zhao Long had already arranged for people to pack up the bodies of the dead, and the injured soldiers were also carried. Because the enemy's offensive was effectively contained, the grain and grass baggage in the rear was not attacked. There was no need to pack it up, just pull it up. Walk.
The army marched very slowly, and Han Yun just walked and chatted with them until the sun set, and they arrived at Yumen Pass.
I was supposed to arrive in the afternoon, but the battle and the wounded delayed my pace.
Wang Fugui notified Han Yun in advance, and Han Yun naturally prepared barracks for the army. Yumen Pass is very large, and it is still possible to free up a barracks that can accommodate 30,000 people.
After they entered the city and walked on the street, many people looked at them curiously. They didn't know where this group of soldiers with bright armor came from and why they were carrying so many wounded people.
After settling in the barracks, Han Yun put the twenty commanders in charge of affairs. He took Wang Fugui and others, called Zhao Long, and went to his house to drink together.
When a friend comes from afar, of course he cannot kill him even though he is far away. He must be entertained with good wine and good meat.
Han Yun's mansion has been built a long time ago. It is located on the main peak of the Qi family where his ancestors used to be. His mansion is very large and the Qi family has put a lot of thought into it.
As soon as the group entered the door, they saw a cute little girl with two buns running over.
"Brother Fugui!"
Xiao Yuxin jumped up and threw herself into Wang Fugui's arms.
"Oh, my little baby."
Wang Fugui laughed loudly, holding Xin'er in both hands and shaking it in a wide circle.
There is no one who dislikes Xin'er.
"Brother Fugui, do you miss Xin'er?"
Xin'er blinked her big eyes and tilted her little head and asked sweetly.
"Of course I do. I miss Xin'er so much that I can't sleep every day."
"That's great. Xin'er has made delicious dishes for brother Fugui, sister Nian'an and uncle Chai Yuan to eat."
Xiao Yuxin proudly took credit.
Chai Yuan, who had been promoted for a lifetime, laughed loudly.
"Oh, hahaha, Xin'er knows how to cook, so you must try it."
The group of people entered the main hall, where a table full of wine and food had been placed, and Qi Xiaoyu was counting the chopsticks to see if they had enough.
There was a maid standing next to him and serving him respectfully.
Now in Han Yun's mansion, there are all kinds of guards, servants and maids, which are all in accordance with the standards of a wealthy family.
After all, a dignified first-class official plus a marquis cannot be shabby.
These maids were all the surviving women bought by the ancestors of the Qi family. After Qi Xiaoyu learned that there was such a group of people, he immediately went to see them.
She asked if any of them wanted to go home, and she would pay for them and send people together to send them back together. Those who didn't want to go home could also stay and work in Zhenbei Hou Mansion and get money every month.
Most women choose not to go back.
Because they were sold by their parents, if they go back, they will still be sold to others.
The fate is still the same, maybe even worse.
Some people died, but not completely...
