(Thank you very much for the 50,000 reward from book friend 3661. Thank you, I will add another chapter today!)
"Brother Lu, I leave the sick children camp to you."
"I hope Brother Lu will take care of the vegetables I grow in my yard."
Huaiyu was a little reluctant to leave the Fuqiang courtyard where he had lived for some time, especially the peppers, potatoes, corns and other new crops he had worked so hard to grow. He thought he could live here until the harvest.
"Don't worry, Erlang, I will take good care of you." Lu Huairang obviously knew something, and his eyes were a little dodgey when facing Huaiyu. During this time, they had been getting along day and night, and the two had a good relationship. Although he was the emperor's consort, he was also a descendant of a famous family in Guanlong.
But he usually doesn't have any airs. He likes to call Huaiyu brothers and sisters, and also likes Huaiyu's superb cooking skills.
"Now that you leave, I won't be able to enjoy your delicious food. I won't be able to enjoy your various wok-fry and barbecue dishes."
"Why don't you go to Weizhou with me? I haven't seen any Turks since I came to Longyou. Let's go to Jingzhou while the main force of the Turks is there, just in time to kill those damn wolves and chop off some wolf heads for military merit?" Huaiyu laughed.
road.
Lu Huairang waved his hand quickly, "There must be someone to take care of the camp for sick children."
"Brother Lu, is there something you're hiding from me?"
"What can I hide from you?"
"Are we brothers?" Huaiyu looked directly into his eyes.
Lao Lu was a little embarrassed to see him, so he had to say awkwardly: "Brother Wu, you are a smart man, but the general manager has already issued strict orders. It is related to military aircraft, and I dare not reveal even half of it." He patted Huaiyu on the shoulder, "
Brother, I will boldly reveal something. If you hear it, don’t say anything. Just pretend you haven’t heard it.
"Actually, don't worry too much. You'll be fine. This may be an opportunity for you. You see, you have been promoted continuously. This time you can command 2,800 well-equipped hospital troops. It's a rare good opportunity. Wealth and wealth are safe.
Zhongqiu, you will get your fame immediately. Are the children of the Forbidden Army still afraid of war? Others can't ask for such an opportunity, and the chief manager also appreciates you."
After Lao Lu said this, he left as if running away, saying that this had violated military orders.
Except Huaiyu who was always uneasy, Wu Huaiyi was very excited.
The eight uncles and nephews of the Wu family in Xuancheng Duke's mansion he brought were also very excited, and even Hou San and Xu Erleng brought by Huai Yi were very excited.
"I am now the deputy commander-in-chief of the hospital army and the commander-in-chief of the cavalry camp?" Huaiyi looked at the appointment handed to him by his brother, his face flushed with excitement.
"Well, this is the personal appointment of the general manager of Chai University. We brothers are of the same mind, so we can make a difference."
"Erlang, you are really my lucky star. As long as I am with you, I find that I am very lucky. We reunited at Zhongnan Mountain and brought me back to life, and then I was upgraded to several levels..."
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
The two brothers have completely different attitudes towards war.
"Brother, do you think we are in danger this time?"
"Fuqiang is less than 200 miles away from Weizhou. We have Tang troops on both sides. Even if we encounter Turks on the way, we have strong troops and horses. Why are we afraid of a battle? I really look forward to meeting the enemy halfway, so that I can kill the general and seize the flag to achieve meritorious service.
Here." Wu Huaiyi was not afraid at all and was full of pride.
Huaiyu smiled and said nothing more to him.
People who only think about fighting and making meritorious deeds are eager to fight, so how can they care about anything else.
Lu Huairang's words made Huaiyu feel more at ease. This mission would not be easy, but it probably wouldn't be impossible to return.
He guessed that Chai Shao most likely asked him to act as a bait in the open, while he led his elite troops to follow behind in the dark, playing the trick of a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind.
As for why he was chosen, why did he have such a great reputation as the white-robed general manager? There was a reward of Golden Wolf Order Arrows and Thousand Oxen in Li, so it couldn't be more tempting to use him as bait.
People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong!
Chai Shao was quite good at the hospital camp, and the original team of Huaiyu were all appointed, such as Ma Zhou, who was originally in the record office, and is now the chief historian, Wu Junwei is the Sima, Zhao Xin is the recorder and joins the army, and Chen Xing is the Kai Cao who joins the army.
The remaining confidants of the original hospital camp also served as soldiers, military officers, military officers, and recordkeepers.
However, all these positions are temporary assignments. Only about ten people like Ma Zhou and others can be awarded official official positions by Chai Shao. Although the rest have positions in the hospital camp, they have not been awarded the governor's office.
The official of the state and county.
After the entire hospital army was upgraded, it had three sub-battalions under its jurisdiction, one for crossbows, one for swords and guns, and one for cavalry. The 900 heavy troops were divided into three battalions.
Huaiyu is the general manager and also leads the middle camp, which is the Tiaodangqi barracks, Huaiyi is the deputy general manager and leads the cavalry battalion, and Wu Junwei is the Sima and the general manager of the bow and crossbow camp.
Now in the ninth year of Wude, the official ranks and titles are becoming more and more formal. The titles are not easily awarded, and the official positions are more formal. Although the soldiers can get honors for their military merits, having honors does not mean having an official position. They have to accumulate seniority, and then
To be a candidate for talent, you still have to take an exam, and you can get the San rank step by step. After you have the San rank, there is still a long way to go before you can get a formal official position.
Following Huaiyu, Ma Zhou, Chen Xing, Zhao Xin, and Wu Junwei, some of them were originally poor scholars, some were from Chang'an Ya, some were servants of wealthy families, and some were bastards of the government. They came to Longyou as Huaiyu tribesmen.
Medical assistants can also earn official status, even if they are the lowest from the ninth rank, it is enough to make the nearly 3,000 people in the hospital army extremely envious.
The sky is dark and bright.
The hospital camp was having a sumptuous breakfast. Chai Shao gave them some meat and everyone had a hearty meal.
"Set off!"
Huaiyu didn't want to say anything more. After all, everyone was so high-spirited, and he couldn't say anything to throw cold water on them. He mounted the White Hoofed Crow, tied Yezhaobai to the saddle with another pack horse, and followed.
Viewed from a distance, there is really no difference between this group of troops and the regular Tang army soldiers. They are just as young and brave, have the same high morale, and even have the same well-equipped equipment, and there is no chaos when marching. They are also practicing martial arts.
After training as a soldier, he even received training and fought with the army in the military camp.
At the sound of the trumpet, 2,080 men and horses set out.
The hospital camp soldiers brought ten days of food and grass, and the baggage battalion behind them brought more food and grass, which not only supplied the hospital camp, but also supplemented the Weizhou Niujinda Department.
Huaiyu sat on his horse and looked back at Fuqiang City.
In the early morning light, Fuqiang City seemed so quiet. He vaguely saw a group of generals on the west city gate watching them march away.
"General manager, let's sing a military song."
"What to sing?"
"Sing without clothes." Ma Zhou suggested from the side, and he took the lead in singing, "How can it be said that without clothes, I share the same robe with you, the king and the army, repair my sword and spear, and share the same hatred with you."
Everyone sang along, getting more and more neat as they sang, but the clothes were too short, so they just repeated these few lines.
"Here comes the manager again."
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic and excited, Huaiyu originally thought of Wu Ge being captured by a rhinoceros, his chariot being on the wrong side of the wheel, and the soldiers fighting in close combat.
Qu Yuan’s national memorial song is the first memorial song, not a military song, so it is not very auspicious.
He thought for a while and changed the song.
He sang loudly on his horse, "If you don't see the Han Dynasty's final army, the weak crown will lead the captives to grow their tassels. If you don't see the ban Dingyuan, the extremely light cavalry urges the war clouds. A man should be serious about danger, how can he let a scholar and a crown miss his life. The situation is that the country is in danger as if it were a heap of eggs. The feathers and feathers are competing for a long time. I abandon my old pen and hold on to my old pen in war. At one call, more than a hundred thousand of my comrades join the army together, shouting war songs, "
"Qi joins the army, cleanses the dust, and vows to wipe out the Turks regardless of his own safety. He endures the thought of his family and generously expresses his heart to serve the country. He goes to the battlefield with a proud smile, and the flag is fluttering. The sun is not shining. The air blows too white into the moon, and he strives to save his life. Yashe Tenrou·····
After returning, thousands of people watched along the road, and flowers were thrown in front of the horse. The national history clearly marked the first achievement, and the Tang Dynasty was called Changxiong from then on..."
As soon as this expeditionary military song came out, no one had heard it. At first, everyone listened to Huaiyu singing it. When Huaiyu sang it more and more passionately, when he sang it for the third time, Ma Zhou, Wu Huaiyi and others also started to sing along. , gradually nearly three thousand people were singing in unison.
Behind him, at the west gate of Fuqiang City, Chai Shao, Lu Kuan, Dou Yun, Guo Xingfang, Xue Wanche, Liu Lancheng and other generals watched the troops and horses set off. They were about to turn around and go down to the city, when they suddenly heard this unfamiliar but extremely exciting song. Everyone stopped and listened to the military song.
"If you don't see the end of the Han Dynasty, you'll have to wear long tassels to tie the captives. If you don't see your class, you'll be far away. The most powerful cavalry will urge you to fight. A man should be on a dangerous journey. Why don't you let a Confucian scholar miss this life!" Chai Shao sang the first few lines as he sang. The higher.
Dou Yun, Lu Kuan and other purple-robed ministers with both civil and military skills also had expressions of surprise in their eyes.
"Which poet is this, why have I never heard of it?" Lu Huairang asked in confusion.
Liu Lancheng, a rogue who was capable of both literary and martial arts, also shook his head. He had read a lot of books, but he had never heard of this song.
Lu Kuan, the eunuch of the palace, slapped his son on the head and said, "Hurry out of the city and catch up with him and ask who did this to be so passionate."
Lu Huairang was slapped but did not dare to resist. Lu Kuan was both his boss and his father, so he had no choice but to run down to the city, mount a horse and chase him out of the city. After a while, he galloped back on his horse and ran up to the top of the city panting.
"General Manager of Chai University, Chief Dou, Deputy General Manager Guo, and Lu Sima... asked, this song is called Expedition, and it was composed by General Manager Wu along with the expedition to Longyou Road. Just now everyone was singing a military song, so they took it out Sung."
As he spoke, he also took out a hand scroll, which Ma Zhou wrote quickly on his horse. He recorded the complete expedition and asked Lu Huaiyu to present it to his camp superiors.
Ma Zhou's regular calligraphy is very beautiful and has the style of two kings.
"Unexpected, unexpected." Chai Shao saw it and was full of admiration. "It's so exciting and inspiring for the army to go to the hospital. It's amazing."
Uncle Dou Guo also nodded, "Although Wu Erlang is young, his ability is really impressive."
"You haven't seen the two portraits he painted for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Chang'an, Shubao Jingde, the door god who guards the palace and wards off evil spirits. They are as lifelike as if gods came to the world. His calligraphy is also excellent, and he can write this expedition poem. I’m not surprised at all.”
"What a damn talent." Liu Lancheng stroked his beard and admired. "The character Ma Zhou is also very good. The hospital produces talents."
The four brothers of the Xue family are all brave men who are ignorant of literature. At this time, they can only say thief, and they are in admiration.
"Such a great talent, why don't we invite him back and go to Weizhou for another Tongtong Hospital camp? If something unexpected happens, I might not be able to explain it to the prince." Lu Kuan said.
Chai Shao watched the majestic hospital camp gradually go away, and finally just shook his head, "Who has a reputation like his white-robed manager, who has a thousand oxen and a hundred horses on his head and a huge reward of two sweats? Are we going to let you?"
To unify this fake elite?
Just stick to the original plan!”
Listening to the impassioned expedition heading straight into Yunxiao, and watching the temporary hospital army drifting away, Chai Shao stroked the battlements with his hands and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he crossed his arms with Dou Yun and Lu Kuan.
"I will ask Dou Changshi, and Lu Sima will lead Fuqiang City's 10,000 foot soldiers tomorrow to set off and return eastward."
"Then there are only 8,000 infantry and cavalry left in Fuqiang City. Isn't this too risky?"
"I have eight thousand cavalry on foot, three thousand to defend the city, and five thousand to attack, that's enough!" Chai Shaohao said confidently.
