Zhu Hongfang pouted.
"You kid, you are so awesome. Didn't you see that we have distinguished guests? After all, there are three ministers, a king and a queen. Naturally, you have to entertain them well. Otherwise, others will say that our Xia Kingdom does not respect etiquette." "
After saying that, he stretched out his palm with a sensible expression on his face.
The soldier looked sad and reluctantly handed the canned fruit to Zhu Hongfang.
Zhu Hongfang picked up the can and left. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around and smiled.
"I'll borrow this for now. When I get back, I'll tell the Marquis that he won't treat you badly. It's just a can of fruit. Don't be so stingy."
The soldier immediately smiled when he heard this.
Many people outside say that Mr. Hou is extremely stingy, but how can a soldier not know this?
Most of their food, drink, and clothing were provided by the Marquis. In the past, when they were soldiers, they had to have their families send them dirty clothes and obscene clothes, and sometimes they would even ask for money from their families.
It's not as good as it is now. The establishment of Yufeng Army is on the same level as that of Xuanjia Army. Not only do you not have to spend money on daily food and clothing, but you can also send your annual salary to your home. Life should not be too easy.
The Marquis is so generous, he would never covet one of his own canned fruits.
Of course, even if they were gone, the soldiers would have no complaints. The Yufeng Army, like the Xuanjia Army, were die-hard loyalists to Yang Gan.
Even some loyal soldiers could die just because of a word from the Marquis.
Three ministers, a king and a queen, sat together.
Their eyes were downcast, their hair was disheveled, their clothes were open, and they looked haggard.
Some soldiers chopped down a tree, carved out things that looked like dinner plates, and placed canned meat and luncheon meat on them, as well as a handful of rice cereal and two bromide cakes.
Battlefield food is online.
After delivering the plates to the five people, Zhu Hongfang bowed his hands.
"This place is in the wilderness and cannot prepare delicious food. It would be rude to entertain distinguished guests with simple military rations."
When he was just taken away, Jing Shangqing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and his breathing also became rapid.
His hands were shaking as if uncontrollably, and his feet were hanging feebly on both sides of the horse, as if he had lost all courage and strength.
After running wildly for a day.
His mood changed.
A deep anger was like a volcano, but he couldn't let it out, which made him feel frustrated and wanted to hit the wall.
At this time, he had given up resistance. There were thousands of cavalry, and there were only five of them on his side. How could he run? Running wool.
The cavalry can easily catch people like themselves if they give chase.
"Bang".
Qu Shangqing kicked the dinner plate over, stood up and glared at Zhu Hongfang.
"Who do you think you are? I am Liao Guo Shangqing, the patriarch of the Qu family. You are giving us this kind of food that even a dog wouldn't eat. Is the traitor Yang Gan trying to humiliate us?"
In an instant, the expressions of several soldiers and Zhu Hongfang changed. One of the soldiers kicked Qu Shangqing over, pulled out his iron sword and slashed towards his neck.
One move after another, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
There was a "dang" sound.
The cut-off sword was also stopped by a Su-Tie sword. Only two fingers away, Qu Shangqing's head would fall to the ground.
Immediately, the other four people broke down in cold sweat. The queen, who was still trying her best to maintain her appearance, was huddled behind the king, shivering constantly.
Even if I huddled up behind the king, I couldn't feel the slightest sense of security.
The other two officials were frightened. The three great men were inseparable and had very good relations with each other.
Almost all of them are related by marriage. They know deeply that only by uniting can they fight against the royal family. If a family is alone, it will never be a match for the royal family.
The soldier looked at Zhu Hongfang and said angrily.
"General, this person insulted the Marquis and should be killed on the spot."
Zhu Hongfang frowned slightly.
"Wantless, this is the person the Marquis has designated to be needed. The Marquis invites him over. He wants to see people alive, and wants to see corpses dead. No one can touch them."
At this time, several generals of the Wind Control Army came over and began to smooth things over.
"Asshole, can you refute General Zhu? You want to commit the following crime."
After training the soldiers, these generals of the Wind Control Army began to plead with Zhu Hongfang in various ways, and Zhu Hongfang also borrowed the donkey from the slope.
He was only the temporary commander, not a member of the Wind Control Army. After the generals argued with each other, the conflict immediately disappeared.
How to mediate the conflicts and discord between temporary generals and their troops is one of the compulsory subjects for generals in the Academy of the Three Services.
Zhu Hongfang was angry inside, but he also knew that everyone was loyal to the Marquis.
Qu Shangqing sat on the ground and gasped for air, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and the feeling of the aftermath of the disaster welled up in his heart.
His face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he was too frightened to speak.
Passing a piece of food to Qu Shangqing again, Zhu Hongfang said calmly.
"We in the border army strictly prohibit the waste of food. If you throw it away, the Marquis invites you to go, but he doesn't say whether it is alive or dead, or whether it is mutilated."
Qu Shangqing said nothing, lowered his head, and his whole body revealed a deep feeling of fear.
The other four people were not fools and immediately picked up their plates and started eating.
By the way, after running around for a whole day and not eating much, everyone was feeling hungry.
When a piece of lunch meat entered their mouth, the four people's eyes suddenly widened.
People who are used to steaming vegetables, grilling meat, and fish dumplings are immediately shocked when they eat luncheon meat or canned meat.
Looking around, I saw that almost all the soldiers were eating such rations.
Looking at the queen enjoying the feast, King Liao became numb.
Damn, is this Xia’s military ration? Then give it a hammer.
The food he eats is better than what he, the king, eats. What a joke.
If you describe it, it’s just at the beginning.
What the hell, even dogs won’t eat this kind of thing. Today, I’m starving to death, even if I jump from here, I won’t even eat it.
So now it is.
It smells so good.
No matter ancient people or modern people, they cannot escape from the law of true fragrance.
When the food was finished, Zhu Hongfang offered fruit again, and this time the five people almost stared out of their eyes.
Brother, stop making trouble, you can still get peaches in the wilderness? What a joke.
Isn't this something only available in midsummer?
After just one meal, the mentality of the five people couldn't help but change.
No matter what, this army is weird, and Marquis Wu'an is weird.
It's just that now, I am a slave and I am a fish, so there is no other way.
A night of silence.
In the early morning of spring, the wilderness is peaceful and full of vitality.
The night is gradually receding, the east is gradually turning white, the moon is still hanging in the sky, and the stars are shining with their last light.
The breeze blew gently, carrying the smell of soil and new life.
After waking everyone up, Zhu Hongfang returned home like an arrow.
It stands to reason that if you are in a hurry when you come here, you don't have to be in a hurry when you go back. As for the pursuers?
Zhu Hongfang didn't look down on them. The cavalry in the Central Plains and the Xia Kingdom's frontier army were said to be second in the world, but no one dared to say that they were the best in the world.
Many people think that the factor that has the greatest impact on cavalry should be riding skills.
Look at the Huns, look at the current grassland people, who is not excellent in riding skills?
But no matter how good your riding skills are, it will not have much blessing effect under a large-scale cavalry attack.
Whether the cavalry is strong or not depends on only four factors.
First: Horse breeds, what’s the use of being awesome if you can’t do it? Do you still want to ride a rogue horse to achieve the effect of a sweaty BMW? Don't think about it, everything can happen in your dreams, even if you ride a horse and pass the high-speed rail in your dreams.
Second: Saddle. The saddle is an important piece of equipment for the cavalry. Its appearance allows the rider to ride smoothly on the horse and attack opponents more flexibly with long knives or bows and arrows.
Third: Stirrups. The use of stirrups is of great significance to the cavalry unit. With stirrups, the cavalry's feet can be firmly planted, thereby alleviating the fatigue of long-distance marches. At the same time, the attack effect is greatly improved, and the cavalry can make various hiding attempts. , attack, rescue and other behaviors.
Fourth: A strong body. Only with a strong body can you ride a horse for a long time. Otherwise, if you try riding a horse for an hour, you will go crazy.
As for riding? To put it bluntly, riding skills are just like marksmanship. How did you become a sharpshooter? Rely on talent? Yes, it does depend on talent, but more of it is fed by bullets.
The same is true for the cavalry. If you are asked to ride a horse every day, after a few years of training, you will be a pig and you will know how to do it.
Generally speaking, only when the saddle is matched with the stirrup, the cavalry can come and go like the wind, and can even kite an army to death.
There are no stirrups and saddles. When riding and shooting, you can only stop and shoot arrows. Only top riders can shoot arrows while running, and the speed cannot be too fast.
When the saddle and stirrups cooperated, shooting while running became a special skill of the cavalry, mounted shooting.
Zhu Hongfang felt that even if he gave Liao Guo some time to pursue them, he would wait for them here. When the two armies met, if he ran again, the other party would not be able to see his horse's tail.
If the terrain is suitable, counterattack can even be achieved.
After spending more than ten days, we finally took a detour to the vicinity of Hulao Pass.
The Wind Guards were overjoyed and finally came back.
This time the lone army went deep, the risk was extremely high, and it even contained gambling elements. You should know that Yang Qian rarely gambled.
As long as he is allowed to gamble, he is basically a guaranteed winner. According to Yang Gan, it is not a guaranteed win, even if the chance of winning is 99%, rounding off, it means losing.
But there's nothing I can do, the other party gave me too much.
Luoyi and the surrounding mountains, who knows the importance of this place, who can resist this overwhelming wealth?
The only pity is that I didn't use a portable phone, and I don't know if this thing can communicate with the Marquis in the high mountains.
You know, it's nothing extraordinary to be able to contact hundreds of miles on the plains. If you turn up the power, you can still contact even farther away.
But if there is a mountain in the middle, the result will be different. The communication distance may be reduced by more than half, or even break your bones.
They are obviously not more than a hundred miles apart, but there is a mountain in the middle, so even communication may be difficult.
When the entire Yufeng Army returned, Yang Gan personally walked out of the army to greet them.
