Chapter 1311 Okay, okay, I will definitely praise Your Highness’s extraordinary talents later (please subscribe and vote)
Now that the army was still gathering, Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes and copied all these sentences on a piece of paper.
I staggered out of the room and saw the three guys packing their bags in another room.
"That so-and-so, please come over here."
"Do you have any orders, Master?" Deng Chengxin hurried over and said with a flattering smile.
Cheng Chubi showed an expression like a teacher, shook the piece of paper in his hand, handed it over, and asked.
"What, let me test you, do you know this thing?"
Deng Chengxin took it in his hand, carefully identified the third son's handwriting, and read it word by word.
"...Beat the drums and boring them, and use the troops enthusiastically. The Tuguo city canal... Hey, this is so familiar. It seems to be a sentence in the "Book of Songs"."
"Poems in the Book of Songs?" Cheng Chubi's face remained calm and his eyes rolled.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to have read the Book of Songs. What about the following sentence?"
Deng Chengxin lowered his gaze, and after looking at it for a few times, he suddenly came closer and asked in a very low voice.
"This is also in the Book of Songs, but... Third Young Master, are these written by His Highness to you?"
"Is this something you should inquire about?" Cheng Chubi raised his eyes unhappily.
"I just want to test you, since you know that these all come from the Book of Songs.
Come on, come on, explain to me what these mean."
"You don't need the lower part, just the upper part..."
Deng Chengxin glanced at the bottom, then looked at the words on the surface, combined the upper and lower parts, and immediately laughed.
"Sir, the general meaning of the above verses is that the war drums are beating, the soldiers are actively practicing, the capital and the city are building walls, and I am alone in the army and rush to the south. I follow the general Sun Zhong to pacify the Chen and Song countries. I can't return home for a long time, and I feel in my heart
Very worried..."

Deng Chengxin squinted at the third young master who was stroking his chin with a serious expression, cleared his throat and said again.
"Third Young Master, actually, there are a few sentences after this. It is possible that the other party did not write them out intentionally. In order to leave blank space, Third Young Master, please guess."
Cheng Chubi looked at Deng Chengxin's strange expression with majestic eyes.
"explain!"
"The next sentence is about a life-and-death bond, which I said to my son. Hold your hand and grow old together with me..."
Hearing the phrase "Holding the son's hand and growing old together with him", which has been overused in later generations, Cheng Chubi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
It turns out that the allusion comes from here and is used to describe the feeling of comrades-in-arms.
Could it be... no, no, no, it's impossible, that's the cutie that I watched grow up.
How is it possible? She is just a little girl now. She must not commit any crime or commit any crime.
Thinking of this, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel happy.
"There are war drums and battlefields, traveling south and pacifying other countries. It seems that Her Royal Highness has just learned the Book of Songs.
So you proudly use it to show off to me, good, good, good, and later I will definitely praise your highness for your brilliance."
Then, with three eyes, they watched blankly as the third young master took back the piece of paper and hurried away.
"That would be satisfying, do you think it would be..."
"I don't dare to say anything about this little brother, but I think, hey hey hey...ah, Brother Fa, why are you holding on to me?"
"You're such a bastard, tell me quickly, is that what happened?"
"You three, if you don't hurry up and pack up, you have to get to the camp before noon today, so hurry up."
As Cheng Chubi's roar came, the three disciples and loyal servants hurriedly put things away.
Waiting for Cheng Chubi to lead a thousand elite Tang troops across the Yangtze River and land on the south bank.
A total of fifty-six two-horse four-wheel carriages were waiting here neatly.
Among the thousand elites of the Tang army, one hundred were cavalry, and the remaining nine hundred were infantry.
There were more than ten elite Tang army soldiers sitting on each carriage.
These elite soldiers of the Tang Army were also very curious about such a novel marching method, and of course most of them were delighted.
Although these carriages were full of soot, at least they didn't have to use their own legs to travel three hundred miles.
Riding a carriage to fight hundreds of miles away, this was really the most carefree experience they had ever had since joining the army.
Cheng Chubi called the person in charge here in Changning Prefecture and told him, asking him to rush back to Changning Prefecture and inform them there.
Let them prepare a sufficient number of horses, and wait until the army reaches Changning Prefecture overnight, where they will have a good night's rest.
By the way, all the horses on the carriage were replaced, and it was only a little more than sixty miles away from Changning Prefecture and towards Xue Prefecture.
When the time comes, he will be able to take it much more calmly. Cheng Chubi is still worried about what might happen if the entire Xuezhou tribe rebels.
Changning Prefecture, which is not far from Xue Prefecture, and even Jue Prefecture are being harassed. If only I could rush there earlier.
Whether it is Changning Prefecture or Cuizhou, an important well salt production area, it will be safer.
Soon, the army began to march towards the south. Fifty-six carriages, loaded with 900 Tang elites, surrounded by more than a hundred Tang army cavalry, headed towards Changning Prefecture.

Mo Dan, the governor of Changning Prefecture, stood worriedly on top of the city, even though it was still early in the day.
However, many torches have been prepared in the city of Changning Prefecture, and there are also many torches placed along the concrete official road to the south and north for a few miles below.
The purpose is to quickly light it up as soon as it gets dark to illuminate the official road, so that any abnormality on the official road can be detected.
He also specially sent a hundred Xue soldiers to patrol the official road, also to prevent the Xuezhou Xue people from raiding Changning Prefecture.
At this moment, beside him was his fully armed younger brother Mo Kun. This younger brother was not as restrained as him and was always making wild complaints.
"Isn't that guy Lu Neng crazy? Everyone is living a comfortable life nowadays, isn't it?"
"He has to make trouble with the imperial court. Does he think he can be more powerful than the Tieshanyu of the past?"
"Okay, okay, stop talking. The city defense has been arranged?"
"Don't worry, brother, arrangements have been made in the city. Many people have heard that there is a rebellion in Xuezhou. Not only are they not afraid."
"On the contrary, they spontaneously organized themselves to help defend the city, but I drove them back and asked them to be responsible for maintaining order in the city."
"That's good..." After hearing the news, Modan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although our Changning wolf is not as fierce as the Xuezhou wolf, we are not weaklings. If the Xuezhou wolf wants to attack Luzhou, we can't stop it."
"But if he wants to take advantage of our Chang Ning, this city will be able to break all his teeth."
Another hunter also nodded with deep understanding.
"That's natural. We, Changning, and Xuezhou, are much more united."
"They, Xue Zhou, have always known how to fight bravely. Now that life is so easy, they still want to do this. I think they are really tired of living and want to give Cheng Sanlang credit."
