Chapter 7 Confusing (Three)

"The two generals escorted me all the way, but I have never found a chance to get to know each other well. Today, I ordered people to make a few Mongolian dishes and ask the two generals to taste it. It is a thank you." Taisong smiled sweetly and said with an elegant manner.

"You are polite, you are the ones that the empress should do." Wu Sangui quickly stood up and returned the courtesy.

"General Wu is a young hero. When I was on the grassland, I heard General Wu's name. The emperor often mentioned it in front of me that this time I asked General Wu to escort me back to Mongolia to visit my relatives. I was happy for a while!" Taisong responded generously, with a charming smile on his face.

This smile almost made the young and romantic Wu Sangui lose his past. Fortunately, he was determined and did not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about the beautiful imperial concubine in front of him. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I don't dare, some little names are all the emperor's kindness."

"Come on, have a drink!" Taisong ordered.

"Empress, you cannot drink alcohol during the march. This is the military rule set by the emperor himself. Please take it back." Wu Sangui hurriedly refused.

Taisong pondered for a moment, and was not embarrassed: "Since this is the case, I can't force others to make things difficult for the two generals to violate the military rules!" So he waved his hand and asked someone to take down the hot horse milk wine.

"You can't drink wine, but you can't eat meat!" Taisong smiled and said, "Come on, let's roast the two generals!"

After a while, a roasted smell was fragrant, and the two soldiers carried in the whole sheep and placed it in the center of the two.

"Two generals, please!" Taisong smiled and pointed at the roasted goat with a fragrant smell.

Such a big sheep must be nearly 50 or 60 years old. If you can get up, you have to eat it for more than ten people. Now I ask them to eat this whole sheep. I really doubt whether Concubine Kang deliberately made things difficult for them.

"If the two generals can't eat them, they can take them back for their soldiers to eat together. This palace has arranged more than a roasted lamb. This one is the most ingredient and the most plump, so it is naturally left for the two generals." Taisong said with a smile.

"Thank you!" The two of them agreed with a loud promise.

"Two generals, I have something to ask for the two generals?" Taisong said earnestly.

Wu Sangui and Yan Peiwei were both stunned, and their eyes quickly exchanged, and Wu Sangui said, "Please tell me, Empress."

"I know that both generals are the emperor's beloved generals. Is it important to accompany me back to the grassland this time?" Taisong asked with a smile.

When dealing with smart women, men always feel that they seem to be shorter than the other person.

"Protecting the safety of the Empress is the most important responsibility of General Yan and me." Wu Sangui said with confidence. Although he had guessed that their mission was not that simple, it might be a major test for him. As for whether he could hand over an answer that satisfies the emperor, it is still unknown for the time being.

"General Wu, don't keep me from being insincere. I have no other intentions. I just want to know that although I am from Mongolia, I am already the emperor. My heart is naturally towards the emperor. If you really have any important responsibilities, those who can help will definitely help." Taisong looked at the two of them with a smile and said.

"The Empress is serious. The Empress and General Yan have the most important thing for the Empress." Wu Sangui hurriedly bowed.

Taisong smiled generously and said, "Forget it, General Wu won't say it, I don't blame you. But if I really need my help, General Wu must not forget me."

"This?" Wu Sangui and Yan Peiwei looked at each other. What might happen along the way. With the help of Concubine Kang, a native Mongolian, there will definitely be less trouble. So he said, "I will write down the words of the Empress."

"That's good, that's good." Taisong looked at the two of them happily and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind gift. General Yan and I will not disturb you. We will take your leave first!" Wu Sangui and Yan Peiwei got up and took off their luggage, and ordered people to carry the roasted sheep out.

"Major General, Concubine Kang seems to have noticed something?" Yan Peiwei asked Wu Sangui in a low voice when he came out of Taisong's warm tent.

"The Queen of Concubine Kang has a special identity. Now the Mongolian grassland is partly divided and there are many differences. In recent years, you can see that the Later Jin annexed many Mongolian tribes. Now that Mongolia's strength has been greatly reduced, only one Lin Danhan is left. How many others are not wagging their tails to beg for mercy on the Later Jin Dynasty. This time the Queen of Concubine returns to Mongolia, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the back of the various Mongolian forces. If this is not the case, can the Emperor let Concubine Kang return to Mongolia to visit relatives at this time?" Wu Sangui explained in a low voice.

"Why did the Empress say that just now?"

"You don't know this brother Yan. Although Concubine Kang is the emperor's pillow, she is a Mongolian or Lin Danhan's real sister. The couple and brother and sister are still different. One is their future reliance, and the other is that blood is thicker than water. Only the empress knows who is more about the empress. The reason why the empress said this just now was to tell the emperor through our mouth that her heart was facing the emperor." Wu Sangui analyzed in a low voice.

"So that's how it is." Yan Peiwei finally understood. If he said something directly to someone, he might not believe it, but if he said it through another person's mouth, he would be much more credible. This is a psychological effect and it is difficult to express it in words.

"Hey, Brother Yan, have you heard about it? The court may need military reform?" Wu Sangui pulled Yan Peiwei and walked a long way.

Yan Peiwei was surprised and said, "Where did the Major General know this news?" Their five or five brothers had the most well-informed news. He knew that this news was not dared to tell anyone. After all, he was also an old man in the secret residence, which was of great importance. This was not a joke.

"I received some news about this incident before leaving Beijing. Unfortunately, I was preparing to leave Beijing for escorts, so I didn't go to inquire about it, but as far as I know, this incident is probably true." Wu Sangui said.

Should I tell Wu Sangui? Yan Peiwei's mind was circling. Since he was willing to reveal such important news to himself, could he not tell him heartily? So he solemnly pulled Wu Sangui to a dead corner where no one stood and whispered: "Major General, I, Lao Yan, only tell you about this matter, you must not tell anyone!"

Seeing Yan Peiwei's solemn appearance, Wu Sangui thought to himself that the military reform was probably true, so he said with a quick look: "Brother Yan, don't worry, I, Wu Sangui, don't like to gossip everywhere."

"Actually, I don't know much about military reform. It was my third brother Zhou Wenyuan who quietly told me that this time the military reform will implement the military rank system."

"Military rank system, what is this?"

"that is……"

Yan Peiwei took a long time to explain the military rank system almost to let Wu Sangui understand it.

After hearing this, Wu Sangui's eyes were dazzling and almost cheered. Fortunately, Yan Peiwei was covering her quickly, so she did not alarm the military camp.

"If the court really implements this military rank system, the combat power of our Ming army will at least double. What's the fear of such a small Mongolia and the Later Jin!" Wu Sangui said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that someone will obstruct you!" Yan Peiwei said worriedly.

"Old Yan doesn't need to worry. Although our emperor is sometimes kind and soft-hearted, he is not vague when it's time to take action, so you can rest assured." Wu Sangui said confidently.

"That's right." Yan Peiwei nodded repeatedly, "I'm thinking about what military rank the court will give us?"

"Old Yan, if you have time, go to bed early. The next road is not easy to walk, you have to accumulate energy!" Wu Sangui smiled, left Yan Peiwei who was talking to himself, and walked away.

I had nothing to do all night, and the camp was set off on the next day, and I set off on the agenda again.

"Report—"

"Captain, a team was found fifty miles ahead, with a number of about one or two thousand people, no old or young, all strong Mongolian cavalry. I don't know which Mongolian part it was."

"stop--"

After hearing the report of the reconnaissance cavalry, Wu Sangui immediately waved his hand and ordered the team to stop and rode on the horse and looked ahead with a cold expression.

The team suddenly stopped and no chaotic happened. The two thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry were like silent wolves, and the strong and murderous aura formed a strange aura.

"General Wu, why did he stop suddenly?" Liutu asked in front of Wu Sangui. Facing the young general with a legendary experience, Liutu did not dare to make rash things easily, because the Mongols have always respected heroes. In his eyes, Wu Sangui's people who dared to attack the city that defended tens of thousands of people with just three thousand men were heroes, and Zhu Yinglong, the emperor, was just a good background, and he was just a little clever.

"Sir, we found a team ahead of us, all of which were cavalry." Wu Sangui said slowly.

After hearing this, Lien Tu was shocked and said, "Can we find out which side of the troops it is?"

"I don't know yet that my subordinates are not familiar with the things on the grassland. Otherwise, Lord Liutu sent a person familiar with the situation in the grassland to see with my subordinates' scout?" Wu Sangui turned his head and asked.

"Okay, okay..." Liutu nodded repeatedly, called a Mongolian man beside him, whispered a few words of Mongolia, and then rode his horse to inquire with the scout cavalry sent by Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui ordered the team to move the formation and lead the team to a slope. It was cold and frozen here. If it was an enemy, even if it was trapped, the melted snow water from the ice and snow would be enough for them to last for a while, so there was no need to worry about the water source.

It is not known whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend yet, so the team set up a defensive formation, and ordered people to arrange simple traps and tripping ropes in the snow on both sides. The purpose is naturally to be prepared. There are many murderous intentions on the grassland. This is someone else's territory. Be careful of it without any big mistakes.
