"General, we are not talking about you, but are the prince and the duke going too far? They actually asked us to keep vigil at night?"
"That's right, everyone has been marching for a day, why do we have to drink from the northwest wind here when they can rest?"
Qi Mingshan glared at the two sentries, "Why? It's simple, because you are the worst soldiers! If you have the fighting ability of Qilin Guards who can fight one against ten, you can also go and rest, otherwise I will call a Qilin Guard now, Let’s see if you two can beat him?”
When the two soldiers heard this, they immediately shut up and stopped complaining. Qi Mingshan was also very depressed, but he had never been on the battlefield, and Zhao Xuanyi and the prince, based on their current identities and status, neither I can't afford it! Otherwise, you will get angry here?
Four days passed, and Zhao Xuanyi and others finally arrived at the boundary of Yingtian Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the border, Tang Yue and Sun Yan came to greet them.
After Zhao Xuanyi and Zhu Wenyu got off their horses, they walked directly into the temporary military camp set up by Tang Yue. After entering, Tang Yue and Sun Yan hurriedly knelt down and said, "See the prince, see the duke!"
Zhu Wenyu looked at Tang Yue and said, "Everyone, please get up. We are not in the capital, so there is no need to pay such a big gift!"
"Thank you, Prince!"
Zhu Wenyu looked at Tang Yue. He was wearing brass armor, over ten feet tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted, and very majestic in appearance. "Are you Tang Wujie's eldest son, Tang Yue?"
"Your Majesty, Tang Yue, have met the Crown Prince!" Tang Yue saluted with clasped fists!
"Yeah! That's right, the tiger father has no dog sons. It has been really hard for your Tang family in the Far East for so many years!"
"I don't dare, I'm just doing my job!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled when he saw Tang Yue. How could he say that this was his invisible uncle? "Brother Tang, long time no see. How are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Everything is normal here. I didn't expect that we can work together again. I'm really happy!"
Zhao Xuanyi laughed loudly after hearing this, "In this case, let's go into the camp to discuss the next matters!"
"Prince. Duke, please come this way!" Tang Yue said and brought the group of people to the Chinese army camp!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Tang Tianli and Wang Yunlong, "Immediately arrange for all the brothers, arrange the food and grass properly, then cook the pot, and have a good rest after eating. Everyone has been working hard these days!"
"yes!"
"Especially for weapons, we must arrange for our own people to guard them. Pay attention to Qi Mingshan. Don't let his people enter places where they shouldn't be. If you don't obey orders, you will be dealt with directly by military law!"
"Understood!" The two nodded.
Zhao Xuanyi walked into the camp and saw a sand table made in the middle of the camp. Zhao Xuanyi hurried over and saw that the sand table was very beautifully made. Where he was, on the ice in the middle, there were Korea and Japan. The geographical shapes are all made!
"Old Tang, did you do this?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.
Tang Yue thought to himself: Am I old? "That's right, our Far Eastern Army has been studying the terrain of Korea and Japan for so many years. We have always made drawings of these. For our attack this time, I ordered people to make the map into a sand table so that we can discuss it!"
"Yes, you are very meticulous in your work. I will give you credit! Prince, please come and take a look. Now the terrain between us is clear at a glance!" Zhao Xuanyi pointed at the sand table and said!
Zhu Wenyu came over and looked at the sand table carefully, with a serious look on his face, "Brother, the distance between us is so far, and it's all on ice. It takes at least ten days to walk. Can the horse's hooves talk to us?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Prince, don't worry, we have thought about this a long time ago. In fact, although this is above the sea, it is estimated that the ice surface will not exceed 30% of the total distance, and the rest of the place is mostly snowy!"
"And before we set off, we give each of the cavalry three feet of rag. Once we encounter slippery ice, we wrap the horses' hooves with them. This can effectively prevent slipping!"
"Oh! I see, I thought it would be troublesome to shoe the horses!"
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Sun Yan, "By the way, how is the sledge I asked you to prepare?"
"Prince Qi, we have prepared 20,000 ships, enough for us to transport food and grass. This is all thanks to General Tang's help!"
Zhao Xuanyi patted Tang Yue on the shoulder, "Old Tang, you look more and more like a general!"
Am I not a general? What's going on with the Duke now? Why is it that when you talk, your words don’t match the words you’re talking about?
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the sand table carefully again, and then looked at Li Hanyan, "Daughter-in-law, do you have anything to say?"
Li Hanyan frowned, "There are so many of us this time, even if we move in batches, but tens of thousands of people walk every time, can this ice surface really withstand it? What I fear most is when the first batch of troops passes by Well, if the ice is destroyed, it will be difficult for the second batch of troops to leave!"
Zhao Xuanyi also thought about it. What Zhao Xuanyi fears most is resonance. Ancient people may not be clear about it, but he knows very well that this is science. "This time, two people are in a row, no more. No matter how long the team is, it cannot increase horizontally." People, if this is the case, then there will be no problem!”
"And prepare enough water along the way so as not to damage the ice. Each soldier should put two stones on his horse to pitch tents at night. Also, no fires can be lit on the ice whether during the day or at night. ! They all use iron pots to burn firewood. As long as we can successfully reach the land of Japan, all this can be solved!"
"With such a cold weather, it will probably be very difficult next time!" Li Hanyan said.
"How can war be easy? If it is even more difficult in the summer! Let the brothers endure it! Tang Yue, I think Miss Tang Mi has told you the overall plan. Is it okay for you to set off in the third batch?"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I can just obey orders! As for the arrangements, that's a matter between you and the Crown Prince!"
"Okay, then you recruit five thousand people from the army to be responsible for transporting food and grass. From today on, people will continue to transport food and grass. We will repair for two days again, then put on enough food and set off immediately! The first batch The prince and I will lead the 45,000 Qilin Guards to go first!"
"About five to seven days later, the second batch of border guards prepared enough food, grass and firewood, and they rushed to Japan. After your Far East Army has prepared enough food and grass, the third batch will set off. Or you don't need to care about the number of days and wait until the food and grass are ready. Set out immediately to catch up with us!"
"Of course, placing you in the third group is not because I look down upon your Far Eastern Army, but because the border guards and I are all cavalry and are fast enough. You have 20,000 infantry, which may affect the speed. This arrangement is also for the sake of speed!"
Tang Yue nodded, "My lord, I don't mean anything else. Is it too risky to go on the first batch with the crown prince's chariot? Why don't we wear the crown prince again when we have the third batch?"
Zhu Wenyu immediately objected, "Don't go to such trouble. I'm not a fool. If I'm just stationed at the back to watch the show, I might as well not come. Don't pay attention to me. You can fight as you want! I'm not here to enjoy happiness." !」
After hearing this, Tang Yue and Liu Bo nodded, "Everything is just as the prince said, we will act according to the Duke's plan!"
"Okay! Old Tang, we finally got here. Get us some food. Let's take a rest after eating!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"No problem, people have already prepared it. Come and serve the food!" Tang Yue shouted loudly.
After everyone sat down, plates of delicacies were brought over, including venison, mutton, and vegetables such as cabbage and radish. They looked very delicious. Tang Yue raised his glass, "Prince, Duke, we are currently at war. In the military camp. A ban on alcohol has been issued, so let’s have tea instead of wine to express our feelings!”
Zhu Wenyu nodded, "General Tang is really a military general. Don't drink this wine now. You have to drink. After we return in triumph, I will personally invite everyone to the capital to drink!"
"Thank you, Prince!" Everyone drank the hot tea in their cups and began to eat.
Tang Yue looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "My lord, I just saw a general outside your account. He looks very unfamiliar. Who is that?"
"Oh, Qi Mingshan, the eldest son of Prime Minister Zuo Qi Lianzhong!"
"Qi Mingshan? Ouch, this man's name sounds familiar. Is he a famous young master in the capital?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and nodded, "I have been acquainted with him through literature for so many years.
Friend, but who knew that this man was not only good in literary talent, but also in martial arts? This time, his father insisted on participating with us after begging us. No, he also led 10,000 elite soldiers to follow! "
Tang Yue immediately understood what Zhao Xuanyi meant, "That's great. He is young and promising. In this way, for such a large military camp, we can hand over the most important security work to him, right?"
"Well! Then let's do what General Tang wants. Tang Tianli, have you heard the order?"
"Yes! I understand!" After Tang Tianli said that, he turned around and walked out of the tent!
Everyone had lunch and prepared to rest. As soon as everyone walked out of the camp, Tang Yue saw a woman locked in a cage. "My lord, what do you mean? A hidden beauty in a golden house?"
"Hey, don't get me wrong! This woman is not a simple woman, a Japanese ninja! She finally caught her. Aren't we going to attack Japan this time? And take her home by the way to see her family and stuff?" Zhao Xuanyi replied with a smile.
Tang Yue raised his thumb and said, "The Duke is indeed a good man, and he probably thinks he is homesick!"
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, hahaha!" Zhao Xuanyi burst into laughter after saying this!
Zhao Xuanyi and Li Hanyan returned to their tent and looked at a bed in the room. Li Hanyan's face turned red, "Qinglian, go and set up our tent. I'd better go back to sleep!"
"Yes!" Qinglian nodded.
"How about we make do? My bed is big enough!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
Li Hanyan rolled her eyes at Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Get some rest quickly. We have to go on the road in two days!"
"No, leave me a person to serve me!"
Li Hanyan turned her head and looked at the room, and finally fixed her eyes on Lizhi's face. Lizhi pointed at her face, "Miss, you won't let me stay, will you?"
"How about I stay?" Li Hanyan asked.
"But? Me?" Lychee looked at Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Don't be so scared. Just dress me every day and give me face wash. The most important thing is to warm my bed at night. I can't sleep on my own!"
"I don't want it!" Lychee hurriedly took Li Hanyan's arm and shook it. "Miss, should I go back and serve you?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled even more happily when he saw Li Zhi's look, "Okay, I'm just kidding, I don't need your service. You and Han Yan can go back later. I called you here because I have something to tell you!"
"What's the matter?" Li Hanyan asked.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Li Zhi and said, "Go out and guard!"
"Okay!" Lychee hurriedly ran out of the tent, she didn't want to stay!
Li Hanyan came to Zhao Xuanyi's side and said, "Husband, what's wrong? Why do you feel like you are worried about something?"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "Now that we have hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, we are worried because the target is too big and the enemy will know something, and the most important thing is our military camp!"
"Our military camp? What's there to worry about? Are you afraid of something being done in our military camp?"
"It's possible. I've asked Brother Shen to arrange for someone to check. Please pay close attention to Qi Mingshan recently!"
"Him? What's wrong with him?"
Zhao Xuanyi sneered, "Their Qi family is getting stronger and stronger now. In other words, our failure in this war is far more beneficial to their family than victory. As long as we find something wrong with them, we will take action immediately. I don't believe in their Qi family!"
"I understand, I will pay attention, but where is the prince? Do you want to arrange some people?"
"Don't worry about this, I have already arranged it, and the prince is very safe. With his skills, there are not many people who can match him!"
"Okay, I will pay attention, then I will go back and rest first!"
"Well! Go!" Zhao Xuanyi patted Li Hanyan's arm, and then sent Li Hanyan out of the tent!
When Zhao Xuanyi walked into the tent, Shen Wei also walked in and began to remove Zhao Xuanyi's armor. "Young Master, now we have gathered 110,000 troops, but why do you still look so sad on your face?"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "Now this is no longer a question of war. I'm afraid
My battle this time will affect the interests of many people. We are playing a dangerous game this time! "
