There are many kinds of beauty, but Zhu Gaochi has never seen such beauty.
You said she was the most powerful person in the country? I don’t think so.
Would you say she is beautiful and fragrant? Not necessarily.
But there was something in her eyes that was both captivating and as pure as water.
He just glanced at it briefly, then lowered his head shyly. For a moment, his heart trembled violently, and then...then he felt like he was about to go up without caring about anything.
"What's your name?" Zhu Gaochi stretched out his hand, pinched the other person's chin, looked into those eyes and asked.
"My concubine, Satomi Ishihara!" Those eyes seemed to be able to speak, and their shy smile was like buds on a branch.
"She is as beautiful as her name suggests!" Zhu Gaochi smiled.
Ishihara covered his mouth and chuckled, then walked forward on his knees.
She was not very tall, and she knelt in front of Zhu Gaochi with her head just reaching her navel.
Crisp and tender fingers stretched out and slowly opened the straps of Zhu Gaochi's trousers.
He said in slightly stiff Chinese, "I will help you wash up!"
~
The spring water is clear and you will be surrounded by hot water immediately after going down.
Zhu Gaochi half-opened his eyes and was lying on the edge of the hot spring. The reflection of Ishihara suddenly appeared in the water.
The kimono slipped off silently, followed by the gurgling sound of someone entering the water.
It was just soft, boneless hands that touched Zhu Gaochi's back.
"Chimo chicken catches four chickens?" Ishihara spoke softly, and immediately realized something was wrong, and said in panic, "Simi Masai."
"It doesn't matter!" Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth surrounding his body and said with a smile, "If your Chinese is not good, just speak slowly!"
"Hai!" Shi Yuan nodded, picked up a water ladle in his hand, and slowly poured water on Zhu Gaochi's shoulders, "Are you... feeling comfortable?"
"Hey, this is a good word, comfortable!" Zhu Gaochi laughed.
"ah!"
While the other party was screaming, Zhu Gaochi turned around sharply and came face to face with Shi Yuan.
"Master, I haven't eaten raisins for a long time, do you have any?" Zhu Gaochi said with a bad smile.
Outside the door, Zheng He stood silently, pressing the hilt of his knife. When he heard the voice inside, he frowned and immediately let go.
In his line of sight, in the distance, a group of Ming Dynasty warrior generals whom he had just met, wearing uniforms with waistbands, were chatting and laughing in small groups in the garden.
In the words, there were vague words about opening up territories and making achievements, which came into my ears.
The young Zheng He looked at the young distinguished disciples who were chosen to come to Japan to teach firearms, his eyes full of envy.
Then he looked up at the blue sky, his eyes full of reverie.
"I am already a person with incomplete six faculties. It is impossible for me to lead soldiers and horses to fight for the country like those noble sons in this life. But the world is so big that I really can't accept it!"
Suddenly, a sound came from inside the house, interrupting Zheng He's thoughts.
Zhu Gaochi was heard laughing inside, "Work hard, work hard!"
"Hey, you have to rub it hard, otherwise it won't come off! Here, here, the top of your thigh!"
Listening to the voice, Zheng He's resolute face looked somewhat unnatural.
"I'm good at everything, but..." Zheng He smiled secretly in his heart, and suddenly thought of another person, "I wonder if the second master has arrived in Yunnan at this time?"
~~
"Ah sneeze!"
On the mountain road, Zhu Gaoxu, who was galloping on his horse, sneezed violently.
It has been several days since we set off from the capital. The two horses kept alternating with each other all the way, but they only walked a third of the way. This is because they are all cavalry. If they were all infantry, they would only stop and go and they would not know how long it would take to reach Yunnan in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
.
"Did you catch a cold last night?" Lan Yu asked, riding her horse and following Zhu Gaoxu unhurriedly.
"No!" Zhu Gaoxu wiped his snot-stained hands on his body, "Shuai Lan, how long will it take?"
"Are you anxious?" Lan Yu asked on the horse.
Young people like Zhu Gaoxu were a little overwhelmed by the rapid march in the past few days, and their impatience was palpable. But Lan Yu seemed to be fine, and there was nothing strange about him.
"No!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "I just don't know when it will arrive, and I don't know for sure!"
"Then you're in a hurry!" Lan Yu waved his riding whip, "What did the old man teach you? If you want to win the battle, you have to be patient." As he said that, he suddenly tapped Zhu Gaochi's shoulder guard with the riding whip, "Have you ever seen a tiger hunt?
No? Only by being patient and careful can you hit the mark with one hit."
"Shuai Lan taught me a lesson. It's not that I'm impatient, but... I'm impatient!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a sneer.
"It's even worse to be impatient. If you are impatient, you have to be patient. When you stop being impatient, you will be qualified!" Lan Yu said with a straight face, "You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. The same goes for leading troops in war. We are two horses galloping all the way.
If you think about it, the imperial edict for the use of troops may still be on the way at this time. The officers and soldiers from Sichuan and other places have to assemble first and then go to Kunming. There are also logistics and baggage, etc., and then they set off from Kunming. It will be a long journey!"
"In fact, most of the time in fighting is waiting, waiting for your own people to gather, waiting for a reply from the vanguard, and waiting for the enemy to arrive on the battlefield."
"If we really fight, it will be damn fast. The winner will be determined in three or five strokes, and the winner will be determined in a few months!"
"How long will it take to wait?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a sad face, "Then we men will still have to wait when we get to Kunming?"
"Who told you we were going to Kunming?" Lan Yu said with cross eyes.
"What about our journey?"
"Go directly to Longchuan and rush forward!"
"Didn't you say that we have to wait for soldiers and horses from all over the country to gather..."
"Are you stupid?" Lan Yu frowned and said angrily, "When did I say I would wait for them? Their general officers are veterans and know how to lead the troops there, and the officials at all levels below know how to transport grain, grass and
Baggage."
"The army can only have one commander, but the army does not belong to the commander alone. Everyone performs their duties and does their best. Is it possible that the commander has to do everything personally? Who the hell can do it?"
Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to talk back after hearing this, and muttered in a low voice, "It was you who said before that when leading troops, one must lead by example..."
"You still have little experience. I think if you really want to pass the exam, you should at least stay in the army for three or four years now!" Lan Yu snorted, "You have an elm head, you're too young!"
"If we don't go to Kunming, why should we go to Tengchong?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Lan Yu looked at the other party as if he were a fool, and sneered, "Where is the first stop for commanding the army from Kunming? Is it Longchuan? Is the first battle to be fought in Tengchong?"
"What are you going for? To survey the terrain. Could it be that you are visiting a brothel?"
"Terrain?" Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled again, very confused.
"If you were my son, I would kill you and give you another one!" Lan Yu cursed, "You're so damn stupid!" Then, while riding his horse, he pointed at the mountains and rivers in his sight and said, "Do you think
Is there a map for every major army expedition? You are in Liaodong. How many generations of people have worked on that map? Over there in Yunnan, there are high mountains and dense forests. Where can I find a map?"
"As a coach, do you need to be familiar with the terrain? Where are the shortcuts? Where are the enemies easy to ambush? Where can you attack by force, where can you use cavalry, where is high and where is low, where is the water source, where is suitable for shadows to set up a stronghold, right?
Want to know?"
"Besides, if we don't survey the terrain and inspect the battlefield, how will tens of thousands of us spread out when the time comes. Once the number of people exceeds 10,000, we won't be able to see the edges. We can't look at each other from the beginning to the end on the battlefield, and the command won't be smooth, and there won't be enough width for our army.
Pull away, how to fight?"
"At that time, we and our own people can start fighting first! Fighting means two things, observation and attack. Why is observation first? If your damn eyes darken, that's not fighting, that's looking for death!"
On horseback, Zhu Gaoxu was scolded by Lan Yu until he couldn't hold his head up. These days, the more he was with Lan Yu, the more he felt that he was really a frog in the well, knowing nothing and nothing.
"Ahead is Shaoyang, Zhuzhou. There are more mountains in front of this side, and it is a place where Han and Miao people live together. I chose this road just to let you sharpen your eyesight. Do you think I will show you the scenery?"
"Believe it or not, at this time Duke Mu Chun and others of the Guizhou Kingdom are also scouting the terrain with their own soldiers at the front! You think rushing is just a waste of time. Let me tell you, for ordinary soldiers, rushing every day is not as good as fighting happily.
It's enjoyable. But for a general, there is no wasted time."
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was sighing with his head down, and said with a smile, "When we get there, the old man risked his face and asked Mu Chun to be a pioneer, will you come?"
"Come!" Zhu Gaoxu immediately shouted, "I will go wherever you go and learn from you!"
"I estimate that the first battle is to climb Gaolianggong Mountain to catch the opponent by surprise! When climbing over the mountain, it is not appropriate to have too many soldiers, a thousand will be enough!" Lan Yu said with a smile, "However, the difficulty is that we are feigning an attack, so we must use heavy armor.
!”
Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head at the thought of being a pioneer. But suddenly his face changed slightly and he said, "How did you know you wanted to climb the mountain?"
"I walked that road back then! The battle to pacify Yunnan in the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign!" Lan Yu said proudly.
"Since you have walked through, why are you still exploring..."
"You're a mother-in-law!" Lan Yu was furious, "You didn't need to explore when you passed by before? You even ate yesterday, so you don't need to eat today?"
