"Although the elephant is bulky, the nose of the elephant is very flexible. The long nose curls people... or the horse is thrown out, and the consequences can be imagined." After thinking for a long time, Chen Jing put down the tea bowl and looked at Bai Qingyan. He spoke, "As General Bai said in his letter sent back, it is difficult for elephant trunk to be a weakness with a chain mail."
"Nose..." Bai Qingyan knocked Yinji's hand and stood up with Yinji, stomped two steps, "How does the elephant feel?"
Taiwei Lu and others immediately understood what Bai Qingyan meant.
"Your Majesty is planning to use the elephant's sense of smell to attack the weak points of the elephant army?" Zhang Duanning thought this could be a try.
"Go quickly and call two elephant trainers over!" Dong Qingping turned his head and shouted loudly.
Soon several elephant trainers went back and heard Zhang Duanning ask them if the elephant's sense of smell was very sensitive. The beast trainers were stunned for a moment.
One of them thought for a while and said, "Yes, maybe... it's because of the long nose, the elephant's sense of smell is very sensitive. I heard from the word of mouth of the old elephants who had taught us that elephants had been sick before and used herbal medicine. If mixed in, the elephant will accurately pick it out with its nose..."
Another elephant trainer quickly added: "So we elephant trainer needs to establish a deep relationship with elephants and tell them that these can cure pain in order to prevent the elephants they have raised from dying due to illness."
"We are all elephant trainers. These elephants have been with us since childhood, but... my ancestors caught elephants for the boss, and the boss was suspicious of selling ivory. When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that the elephants were in the wild. It is the nose to find food, so when they catch elephants, they often use the food that elephants like to make traps." The elephant trainer boldly looked up at Bai Qingyan, and then turned his head, "And people should be separated. It can only pass away if there is movement, otherwise the elephant will know where the man is, so the grass people are thinking, maybe the elephant's nose is more sensitive than the hunting dog."
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, General Lin sent someone to send these two elephant trainers to rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two elephant trainers kowtowed together.
"Please sort out the news and send the first wave of people to the generals of the Bai family army. Perhaps... we can ask several generals to find an opportunity to try it before the war begins." Bai Qingyan said.
"I'm here to do this!" Zhang Duanning took over the matter, "I will definitely send the news out today."
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Thank you hard!"
The matter was finalized, and Bai Qingyan was going back to the palace. She told Lin Kangle to send someone to take good care of these elephants. If the war really starts tomorrow, the chances of the Great Zhou defeating the elephant army will be on these elephants.
Bai Qingyan planned to immediately sew the animal skins according to the body size of these elephants and wear them. When the elephants were almost as slow as possible, he set out to carry the elephants and the elephant trainer south together. In the Xinjiang region, these elephants were placed north of Jinghe nearby, so that the elephants' weaknesses could be transmitted to the front line as quickly as possible.
The emergence of the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom made several important officials of the Great Zhou Kingdom tense up, and they cheered up and began to prepare for the upcoming war, mobilized food and grass... and mobilized troops, and felt nervous from Taiwei Lu to the Sixth Division. The Shangshu was spread to all parts of the country, and officials and soldiers from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty became tense.
Originally, the busy farming year after the autumn harvest was over. It was when the people were preparing for the winter, and several cities and camps with troops were stationed began to mobilize their troops.
In order to avoid the war in southern Xinjiang, which has just become the Daliang of the Great Zhou territory... If you have the mentality of holding military power, you should not have. In addition to the navy in Daliang, Bai Qingyan transferred all the main forces of the Liang army to southern Xinjiang when the old days.
, ask Wang Xiping to lead his troops to change defense.
Originally, the Liang soldiers were very dissatisfied, but when they heard that the Bai family army was all in southern Xinjiang, they didn't say anything more and followed the order to go to southern Xinjiang.
The people looked at the change of troops and their minds were bright and vaguely smelling the smell of war. A relative who was an official in the government office heard a little bit of wind, saying that Xiliang was going to be in chaos again, so His Majesty was transferred.
The soldiers headed to Xiliang.
Some local prefects have heard of the Xiang army, but the superiors have strictly ordered that the people not be informed of the matter for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary panic among the people.
As for the capital, most of the families in the imperial court knew about the Xiang army, and they couldn't help but sweat for the southern Xinjiang.
Because of the elephant army, Bai Jinzhi and Xiao Ruojiang have been in the camps outside the country these days, and have been with these elephant trainers all day long...
Bai Jinzhi believed that even if Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom did not dare to face the Great Zhou for the time being, the Great Zhou must have countermeasures to restrain the Xiang army so that they can win with confidence.
On October 29, the first year of Yuanhe, Xiao Ruohai and Chen Qingsheng, who were ordered to go to Tianfeng Kingdom, returned to the capital with Shen Qingzhu, who was secretly sent to the southern border by Bai Qingyan. He happened to meet him at the gate of the city and came from the military camp.
Bai Jinzhi, who came back, entered the palace together.
When Xiao Ruohai and Chen Qingsheng returned suddenly, they did not send anyone to report in advance. Chuntao was accompanying Bai Qingyan to review the memorials. Suddenly, Wei Zhong said that Chen Qingsheng was back. Chuntao, who was grinding ink for Bai Qingyan, shook his hand,
He hurriedly raised his eyes and looked out of the hall.
Bai Qingyan put down the pen in his hand and smiled and said to Wei Zhong: "Come in quickly!"
As he said that, Bai Qingyan thought about it and looked at Chuntao outside the hall, saying, "This time your cousin will do your business for you, so... my mother can rest assured!"
Chuntao's cheeks turned red and she said shyly: "Girl..."
Chuntao is the daughter of Bai Qingyan's mother Dong's wet nurse. Although she is not a biological child, Dong's wet nurse treats Chuntao as her biological daughter.
Before his death, Dong's wet nurse took Dong's hand and entrusted her daughter to Dong's, and then told Dong the truth...
Chuntao is the biological daughter of Dong's womb-girl's young sister. At that time, Chuntao's mother was so angry when she gave birth to Chuntao. Dong's womb-girl noticed that the child in her womb had a fetal movement, so she took the child with a caesarean section and took Chuntao from her young sister's
Rescued from his stomach.
But her young sister's in-laws felt that Chuntao was not lucky. Dong's wet nurse then kept Chuntao by her side and raised her little by little as her biological daughter. Chuntao is also her only relative in this world.
Dong has always been a wet nurse because she was lonely under her knees, so she raised Chuntao. She never thought that there was still this story. Therefore, after the wet nurse passed away, Dong took Chuntao to Bai Qingyan and told the whole house that Chuntao was
Everyone should not be too slow to treat Dong's wet nurse's daughter.
Chuntao’s marriage, Dong was also very worried. He always felt that telling Chuntao a good marriage was worthy of the wet nurse’s instructions...
