In the sixth year of Zhenguan, March 16th, Sishi
Smoke and dust billowed on the official road from Longyou Road to Lanzhou.
Countless four-wheeled carriages were driving on the official road, like a long, winding black dragon.
On every four-wheeled carriage, there were densely packed soldiers standing or sitting, wearing leather armor and holding weapons in their hands.
The carriage travels very fast, at least three times as fast as walking.
And in this entire convoy, there are a few carriages in the middle and back that are particularly special.
Because not only did everyone on these carriages not wear leather armor, but there were also many young ladies among these people.
This directly caused the cavalry patrolling around these carriages to fall into ditches or be scratched by tree branches on the roadside from time to time.
At this time, a man riding a tall horse, wearing a blue Confucian shirt and a hosta on his head, was chatting with an old man on one of the carriages.
"Dean Sun, you are already much older. Why bother? Even Duke Wei has agreed to let you ride in the palace's carriage. Why do you have to squeeze in this troop carrier with the juniors?"
Sun Simiao sat on the bench of the transport truck with a contented look on his face.
Hearing what Qin Ming said, Sun Simiao stroked his long beard and said with a smile:
"Mencius said, "It is better to be happy alone than to be happy together."
"Besides, Pindao is now in his prime, and his body is very strong."
Qin Ming curled his lips when he heard this, thinking that Mr. Sun, you have changed, and you can say such shameless words.
However, this aroused Qin Ming's curiosity about Sun Simiao's age.
If he remembered correctly, Lao Sun seemed to have lived for more than a hundred years.
"Then I would like to ask Dean Sun, who is in his prime, how noble are you this year?"
In the past few months, Sun Simiao has been among the children, teaching them medical skills.
Influenced by children, Sun Simiao sometimes talks or acts like children, like now.
After hearing Qin Ming's question, Sun Simiao cupped his hands and said:
"Pindao's junior brother gave Pindao a divination. According to the divination, Pindao has a lifespan of 141 years."
"Pindao is 30% likely to be ninety this year. According to the hexagram, Pindao still has forty-eight years to live."
Qin Ming was shocked when he heard this. His eyes widened and he asked in disbelief:
"Dean Sun, who is your junior brother?"
Sun Simiao stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"He, his name is Yuan Tiangang, and he is the Chief of Qin Tian Supervisor."
When Qin Ming heard this, he suddenly realized that it was the legendary person who drew the push-back picture together with Li Chunfeng.
"It turns out it's him, so no wonder."
At this moment, it was Sun Simiao's turn to be stunned.
"The mountain leader knows Pindao's junior brother?"
Qin Ming shook his head and said:
"I have heard of his name, but I have never met him in person. If I have a chance, I would like to ask Dean Sun to help introduce him."
Sun Simiao nodded and said:
"Okay, when we get back to Chang'an, Pindao will introduce you to me."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded, saying:
"Then it'll be hard work."
At this moment, two fast horses galloped from the official road in front.
"The Grand Master has ordered us to rest where we are."
After one of the cavalrymen came to Qin Ming's team, he raised his hand to Qin Ming, who was wearing a green shirt, and said:
"I dare to ask your Excellency, but Qin joins the army?"
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"What do you want from me?"
After the cavalryman confirmed Qin Ming's identity, he dismounted, bowed and said:
"My subordinate Wei Tian, please see Qin and join the army."
"Get up."
"Inform Qin to join the army. The general manager asked his subordinates to come and inform you that we have important matters to discuss. Please move to the central army."
Qin Ming nodded, said a few words to Dean Sun and Zi Shu beside him, and then followed the cavalry towards the central army.
After a while,
In a simple and temporary military tent, Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Xikai Road March, sat in the main seat.
Sitting on his right are Duan Zhixuan and Xue Wanche, the general manager of Jishi Road's march.
Sitting on the left is Li Daozong, the commander-in-chief of Shanshan Road's march.
Behind them, there was a group of people standing in front of them, all of them were generals from Youwuwei and Zuo Xiaowei.
Qin Ming entered the big tent and was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw these people.
These generals in the big tent had already met with Qin Ming the day before yesterday.
And their attitude towards Qin Ming was very good and friendly.
There are four main reasons for this.
1: The horseshoes presented to the court by the Qin and Ming Dynasties not only saved most of the horses in the army, but also increased the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
Two: The alcohol developed by Qin Ming has become a standing supply for the army, and these days, many soldiers have indeed saved their lives because of the existence of alcohol.
Three: The auction that shocked the past and the present in the Qin and Ming Dynasties a few days ago filled the national treasury, leaving the Ministry of War no longer having to worry about the future.
Four: They admired Qin Ming's actions of auctioning off the treasures in his family and donating them to the court for post-war reconstruction in Lanzhou.
...
Qin Ming walked to the center of the tent, bowed to Li Jing and said:
"Record the affairs and join the army of Qin Ming Dynasty. See the general manager."
The more Li Jing looks at Qin Ming, the more he likes him.
"Qin Junjun, please get up."
Qin Ming nodded and then asked:
"I don't know if the chief manager is recruiting his subordinates, but what are your orders?"
Li Jing smiled and nodded.
"There is something I want to ask for your opinion on."
Qin Ming looked around and said in confusion:
"Please give me your instructions, Chief Manager."
When Li Jing heard this, he glanced at the guards on the side and said:
"The deputy general manager of Shanshan Road March sent back the news today that they defeated Tuyuhun's vanguard army two days ago."
"Killed Tuyuhun's vanguard general, Murong Bo."
"We annihilated the enemy's five thousand light cavalry and ten thousand infantry. It can be said to be a great victory."
Qin Ming opened his mouth wide when he heard this, showing an incredible expression.
After a while, Qin Ming came to his senses.
"This is a great victory!"
"With 10,000 cavalry, we killed 15,000 enemy troops. What a miracle!"
Li Jing glanced at Qin Ming with gentle eyes, then picked up an envelope on the table and gave it to Qin Ming.
"Look at this."
"Here."
