Arriving next to Krisna, Ran Jing looked at the soldiers in the pit, all of them looked like clay monkeys.
Everyone's shoulders were red, and some even had their shoulders turned purple.
Obviously when training, I really put in the effort.
"The words are good, as if they were written by your Majesty!"
Krisna breathed a long sigh of relief, took a sip of water, and said helplessly.
"Yang Gan's writing was too long, so I memorized some of it."
"Hahaha, it is indeed your Majesty's handiwork. I wonder why it looks so familiar."
"By the way, I haven't officially told you yet that we will be together forever."
"Thank you!"
Krisna has known Ran Jing for several years and knows about Ran Jing and Zhou Zhiyu.
In fact, according to her opinion, marriages between Central Plains people are too grand and they are very young.
"People from the Central Plains are really young when they get married."
"I'm not young anymore. I'm already over 20 years old. I heard from your Majesty that marriage was relatively late in your home country?"
When Ran Jing and Yang Qian sometimes chatted, they also talked about some customs and habits in other places.
The conversation at that time was about the Western Regions, occasionally interspersed with the customs and habits of Krisna's side.
Krisna smiled and said, "Yes, marriages in our area generally take place after the age of thirty. We believe that women are born smaller than men, so they usually find a man ten years older than themselves to get married."
"Then the woman gets married at thirty, and the man has to find someone who is forty?"
"That's right!"
"So I think the age for getting married here is too young. Some women are getting married when they are only in their teens. To me, they are still just children."
Krisna has always felt that the customs of getting married here are very inconsistent.
Ran Jing explained.
"You didn't know it before, but you know it now. There are frequent wars in the Central Plains. If there are no children, there will be a shortage of soldiers. Therefore, no matter which vassal state, it still attaches great importance to having children."
Krisna nodded. She had been here for several years and was already aware of the mess in the Central Plains.
"Zhang Xiaoniang once said that the best age for women to have children is between 23 and 30 years old, and the best age for men to have children is between 25 and 35 years old."
"Judging from the current war situation, I'm afraid it won't be possible for many years."
"Yeah, I don't know when it will end!"
At this time, Sima Xin came over silently and held his hands towards the two of them.
"I have met General Krisna. This must be General Ran?"
The two returned the greeting slightly.
Ran Jingqi asked, "Who are you?"
"Hu Ben Army, Captain of the Thousand-Man Team, Sima Xin!"
Ran Jing raised his eyes, "So you are Sima Xin?"
"General Ran, have you ever heard of me?"
Ran Jing nodded.
"Well, I heard that your superior mentioned you. Among the five captains, he is the most optimistic about you, but your personal bravery seems to be a bit lacking."
Sima Xin smiled awkwardly.
"General, I have been in poor health since I was a child. Recently, after the diagnosis and treatment by the doctors at Xuanhu Academy, my health has become better than before. I am no longer in such a helpless state."
Ran Jing drew out his saber, held it in his arms, and said provocatively, "Come on, make two gestures."
Sima Xin was a little hesitant. In his impression, Ran Jing, as the supreme commander besides Wu Anjun, was not very skilled in martial arts. After all, he took the path of battlefield command.
Moreover, although Ran Jing is of good height, his figure is relatively slender, so the result is hard to say.
"Well, after this period of hard work and practice, the general's martial arts have improved a lot. It would be bad if he hurt the general."
Ran Jing was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Krisna with a look in his eyes full of doubts.
Krisna twitched the corners of her mouth fiercely and covered her forehead. She was so embarrassed that she could leave the three bedrooms and the second living room.
"Ran Jing, you can figure it out yourself."
Ran Jing raised his head and said, "Sima Xin, draw your sword!"
"No, the general has offended me!"
Sima Xin narrowed his eyes, his face full of evil anger, and rushed towards Ran Jing with the knife.
Ran Jing held the knife with one hand. Just when Sima Xin's knife was about to be cut off, he used a clever force to slice Sima Xin's knife open.
The left hand formed a fist and knocked Sima Xin away with one punch. Both of them were wearing armor. Although Sima Xin's armor was leather armor, it should not be underestimated.
Sima Xin took two steps back and looked at Ran Jing in disbelief. While he was still surprised, Ran Jing was already in front of him, with the sword pressed against his chin.
"Gudu!"
Sima Xin swallowed hard, and the sharpness of the sword could clearly be felt on the skin of his chin.
But what made him feel fiercely threatened was Ran Jing's eyes, which were filled with boundless murderous intent, as if he was going to kill him next.
After just looking at each other for three breaths, Sima Xin immediately took two steps back and cupped his fists.
"I always thought that General Ran, as a general in charge of the army, might not be very good at it, but I didn't expect that he would be under Meng Lang."
Sima Xin directly stated his problem without any attempt to blame or hide it.
Ran Jing had a smile on his face.
"Not bad. He can look at me for three breaths. He's pretty good among new recruits."
"It's just that your martial arts skills are really poor, and I only used 30% of my strength just now, and you can't even stand firmly. But you know how important the stability of the lower body is when the military formation is advancing."
"Hiss~~~!"
Sima Xin took a deep breath, his face full of confusion.
"General Ran, as the commander of the army, in fact, from what I have seen from the last general, personal bravery is really not worth mentioning."
Ran Jing looked at Krisna.
"The affairs of Goguryeo haven't been compiled yet?"
Krisna shrugged.
"Yang Gan means that after the Liaodong side is fully integrated, the war cases there can be compiled, but they must be taught in different levels, not all of them."
Ran Jing nodded and looked at Sima Xin again.
"I know that every major battle in the Central Plains is almost always based on the advancement of military formations, while chariots and soldiers are used only to divide the military formations. When encountering the enemy, they fire arrows first, right?"
Sima Xin was stunned. He had no idea that General Ran would sum up the entire core concept of combat in just one sentence. This was already a summary.
"General Ran's words are admirable to the general, so why do we, the commander-in-chief, need to practice our personal martial arts?"
Sima Xin's academic performance has always been among the best in the Military Academy, and he always has fantastic ideas, but this idea is scorned by some veterans.
But what he didn't know was that the veterans were very convinced of some of his strategic deployments, but they were just side details and completely superfluous.
Sima Xin himself was born as a political strategist and turned to the military strategist, so naturally he could not understand some details.
Ran Jing said seriously.
"What would you do if one day you were asked to lead ten thousand light cavalry to the north to stop the Hun royal court from thousands of miles away?"
Sima Xin, who was familiar with the military books compiled by Yang Qian, said immediately.
"One person and five riders, bring enough food and grass, fight to support the battle, and you can reach there in six or seven days of galloping."
Ran Jing nodded silently.
"I remember when I went up with you to attack the Xiongnu tribe, we ate and drank on horseback. We only had time to dismount and relieve ourselves twice a day. Sometimes we even pulled them directly on our bodies until we got to a place with water next time. Cleanse yourself."
Suddenly, Ran Jing's eyes became sharp.
"Then do you think that with your physique, you can endure such a long-distance attack? Moreover, when you reach the opponent's territory, you may run for two days and have to fight before you can even take a breath. Can your body withstand it?"
"This, this~~~~!"
Sima Xin was immediately speechless.
When no one was paying attention, a figure quietly slipped aside and pricked up his ears.
Ran Jing continued.
"There are some things you may not know. At that time, in the royal city of Goguryeo, which is now Lelang County, our army only had 5,000 troops. After a great battle, we came into contact with 20,000 Goguryeo guards."
"The situation at that time could be said to be precarious. No matter how elite the Xuanjia Army was, after waiting outside for several hours, the two battles still ended in a stalemate when the opponent's numbers far exceeded ours."
"Actually, based on the situation at that time, the Xuanjia Army's physical strength may not be able to support it. At this time, the king decided to lead Krisna, Belika and the king's master, who is the spearman of the new army. The martial arts instructor, Cao Wushuang, Mr. Cao, fights into the tens of thousands of troops."
After saying this, Ran Jing became more energetic and his eyes were bright.
"You can imagine that four people overcame an army formation of ten thousand people. In half an hour, they directly penetrated the army formation and beheaded the enemy general."
"Personal bravery, in this special environment, equipped with the most advanced armor and weapons, can achieve the rank of general among thousands of armies!"
"Wu Anjun did it!"
Ran Jing finished speaking.
Sima Xin's face turned pale, and he seemed to be taken in. No matter how he thought about it, he thought it was impossible.
In fact, there are many things that no one has tried. Once someone tries and succeeds, it will be incredible.
Yang Gan is already short in stature, and the opponent never thought that someone would attack the military formation alone. The most important thing is that the military formation is tight. Regardless of whether it is a long weapon or a short weapon, Yang Gan has already been killed all the way before he can react. It's over.
Sima Xin's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"Ran, General Ran, this, this is not a joke, right?"
Ran Jing sneered, "Thousands of Xuanjia soldiers can testify. Although the killing was very satisfying at the time, the Lord suffered nearly a hundred injuries. His whole body seemed to be fished out of a pool of blood. It took him several months to recover." get well."
"The wound on the shoulder was penetrated directly. Even Doctor Ge from Xuanhu Academy believed that if an ordinary person suffered such an injury, he would definitely be dead without even looking at it."
"So, you know why it is best for a general to have strong martial arts skills. We need such people even more in our frontier army. However, everyone's situation is different. Even if you are not good at martial arts, you can develop your physique and even go on expeditions in the future. The body can handle it."
Ran Jing's words stunned Sima Xin.
As a person who has never been on the battlefield, I tend to take many things for granted, while some things I have never experienced before and just make up in my head.
