Chapter 436 Turning decay into a magical prodigy (fourth update)
Regardless of the generals wearing helmets and armors, whether Yang Duzhi or Fang Baihua, they all stared blankly at the man walking on his shoulder.
The child prodigy champion who raised his fists frequently and his eyes were already red...
Gao Zhang, the child prodigy and number one scholar, was really there, but he was actually right next to everyone.
Watching the champion man, who was no longer a child, appear on the bank of the embankment on a horse.
Almost all the Forbidden Army and rural soldiers who heard the news came to take a look.
After all, is the number one scholar who won the gold medal at the age of eleven the only one since the imperial examination?
Who wouldn't want to take a look at such a young literary star?
Fu'an felt that his waist was about to break. Of course it was not caused by the weight of the young master, but also by the excessive enthusiasm of the soldiers who crowded around the approaching Forbidden Army soldiers.
The consequences of letting the soldiers who protect him and his son squeeze Zhidong frequently.
Fortunately, after leaving that section of the embankment, Gao Taojuan got on the back of his horse and continued to rein in his horse and drive slowly until he returned to the dock, which took him more than half an hour.
After hearing that the prodigy champion who was famous all over the world wanted to work with everyone to put down the Zhu family's rebellion, and also wanted to advance and retreat together with all the soldiers.
This directly boosted the morale of the Imperial Guards and rural soldiers who were originally worried.
As for the topic in the camp, they no longer discussed how the rebel army was doing. Everyone was talking about the prodigy who was as handsome as a crown jewel and the number one scholar.
And his words of encouragement to inspire the soldiers to fight naturally spread.
#####
"Morale can be used, and military morale can be used. I never thought that a trip like this, Lord Zhuangyuan, could have such a big effect."
Commander Xu looked at the soldiers who were still gathered at the dock and refused to leave. He turned around and glanced at Gao Zhang, who was still standing on the deck and waving his legs frequently. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Then it's just because they didn't know why they were fighting before."
Gao Zhang looked at the simple and honest smiling faces and let out a faint sigh.
Those words made everyone's eyes focus on his face again.
Yang Douzhi opened his mouth to speak, but before he had quietly swallowed all the questions he wanted to blurt out.
The generals from various states looked at Gao Zhang with doubtful eyes.
I really want to say, why don't you know that as a soldier, you have to eat food and pay, and if you are a little higher in level, you will naturally have a wife and a wife, so you probably have no reason to fight.
Bu Nao thought that the scholar was not a Wenquxing, and what he said might only be understood by those scholars, so everyone was wise enough not to ask further questions.
Even if you are several decades old, who is willing to listen to a little kid like me?
"Commander Xu, I'm here to see my officer. Is there anything wrong?"
After standing on the side of the ship for a stick of incense, Gao Zhang, who then turned and walked towards the cabin, rubbed his sore arms and asked.
"Mr. Yuan Gong, the Zhu family's bandit army is currently stationed at the junction of the two states, with about five or six thousand soldiers and horses."
"Moreover, we sent out reconnaissance cavalry to try and find out the true strength of his army."
"Five to six thousand people...then we won't be able to fight."
Gao Zhang smacked his mouth and couldn't help but feel a little pain in his balls. He looked towards Yang Douzhi.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji Yuan, the letter of war has been sent. We really can't confirm whether it will be effective..."
"It doesn't matter, just let our reinforcements take a good rest. After all, General Liu and the others are working really hard. Wait, I gave Zhu Meng a five-day deadline anyway."
"If he had any brains, he would definitely not wait until after May before using all his strength to fight other troops."
"What Duke Yuan Yuan said is extremely false. So how should his army behave when it comes to the east? I would like to ask the number one scholar to tell the east."
A general asked Gao Zhang respectfully.
"Take advantage of the time you have and train well. As the saying goes, if you sharpen your weapons before the battle, it will be useless if you are not happy."
"...I will obey my orders."
#####
A group of people were waiting, watching the twelve-year-old champion heading towards the cabin door.
Until the moment when the cabin door opened, all the lieutenant generals in the army breathed a sigh of relief.
"The No. 1 Scholar is really amazing. He has both legs and scheming. He can boost morale and he doesn't even spend a copper coin..."
"Didn't we hear? Our champion will be unanimously praised by all the celebrities in the army during the next spring parade."
"In the past few months when he was in the office, he wrote to him with emotion, fearing that in another ten years, he might be looking for a pillar of the Song Dynasty who is as good as Fan Wenzhenggong."
"He was a little worried before. We couldn't stop the Zhu family's thieves, but now it seems... haha."
Commander Xu looked at the originally lazy soldiers, who now began to march towards the camp with great vigour.
The morale of the originally disorganized and low-morale soldiers suddenly lifted.
It was as if he would protect them after seeing the youngest literary star of the Song Dynasty.
After the cabin door opened, Yang Douzhi stayed outside the cabin, looking at the group of generals who had no expressions of gloom or melancholy on their brows.
It was as bright as daylight, but two people standing on tiptoe with their chests outstretched were pointing their copper feet in the wrong direction of the camp.
That made Yang Douzhi have to shake his head repeatedly. The things that the prodigy champion did seemed to be very ordinary, but the effect they had was blinding.
As soon as it became clear, even if he didn't know it, Yang Du was vaguely expecting the Zhu family's rebels to come and fight quickly. Only in this way could he appreciate the outstanding grace of Yidong's No. 1 Scholar in leading the army to defeat the enemy.
After such a turmoil of private visits incognito, Gao Zhang collapsed on the couch exhausted both physically and mentally. He didn't even notice that Fang Baihua followed him in unexpectedly.
He just slumped on the couch and closed his eyes tiredly.
Fu'an and Lu Qian were not blind, so they naturally saw Fang Baihua who followed them into the cabin, and they exchanged glances with strange expressions.
They all showed off the pattern on the study case in the outer cabin in a tacit understanding, and it seemed that they were all blind and did not see Fang Baihua coming to the couch with light legs.
After thoughtfully covering Gao Zhang with a thin blanket, he saw the round fan inserted on the side, put it in his lap, and started fanning it gently for Gao Zhang.
Although at this moment, Gao Zhanghou had his eyes closed, feeling the cool breeze blowing gently on his face, he never expected that the boy Fu'an could be so considerate and warm.
Bu Nao Gao Zhang was too lazy to say anything at this moment, because there were no vivid faces in his mind.
The faces of those rural soldiers, state soldiers, and imperial guards were either young or old.
Could it be that their eyes are so bright that they make people's hearts feel hot?
