"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen...could he be the talented Chen Mu that the prince talks about?!"
At that time, Wei Qinghong's tone was getting more and more urgent. How could he have thought that the ordinary blacksmith before would actually be Chen Mu, whom even the prince could never forget!
On that day, Wei Qinghong's birthday, the current prince Liu Ding sent not only the painting to congratulate him, but also a letter.
Except for a few words of congratulations, the rest of the content is to praise the amazingness of the words and paintings, and the talented man named Chen Mu.
Although the prince usually looked cynical and would do some ridiculous things from time to time, Wei Qinghong, who had watched him grow up, knew very well that the prince had an unusually arrogant temperament and it was rare to see him praise someone from the bottom of his heart like this.
Moreover, Huo Quxie was able to lead the army again because of Chen Mu's poem and painting, which made Long Yan very happy.
This also aroused great interest in Wei Qinghong. He was planning to go to Bajun to pay a visit in person after the war, but unexpectedly, by mistake, they met in the military camp.
Genius, genius!
Wei Qinghong kept echoing this sentence in his heart, but his old eyes could not recognize the real person. If Huo Quxie hadn't persisted in front of the commander's mansion that day, he, Long Xiajun, would have missed such a military wizard.
.
Thinking of this, Wei Qinghong couldn't help but scold him: "Since he is Chen Mu in the prince's mouth, why didn't you tell him when he came?"
Indeed, Huo Quxie has always been addressed as Mr. Chen since he came here for so long.
"You...didn't you ask too? If you asked, I wouldn't have told you."
"I……"
Wei Qinghong was choked by these words. If he hadn't seen that Huo Quxie was a sick person, he would have really wanted to kick him.
"By the way, how many casualties were there this time?"
"Back to Sima, the Shu army lost about 4,000 people."
Upon hearing this number of casualties, a group of people immediately became shocked.
I thought that even if the Shu army won this time, the number of casualties should be extremely heavy. It can be seen that the Tatar swordsmen were brave and good at fighting. Not only that, there were also a thousand cavalry charging into the battle.
In the minds of these people, the Shu army completely annihilated and captured the Tatar army, and the casualties had to be around 8,000. Even if there were 8,000 casualties, to them, it was considered a great victory.
At this moment, Wei Qinghong really couldn't wait to go to Wanlayer Gorge and ask Chen Mu how he fought in this battle. If he could do this in every battle, why couldn't he defeat these grassland barbarians?
But soon, Lin Qiye bowed his hands again and replied: "General Chen has made extremely sharp swords for our army, and there are also many iron caltrops that can restrain the enemy's cavalry..."
Lin Qiye followed Chen Mu's instructions and told this group of people everything except the firecrackers.
Afterwards, he took out the caltrops and Tang Hengdao that he had brought beforehand and presented them to everyone.
People are selfish. To be honest, Lin Qiye really didn't want to spread these things. After all, a large part of the reason for the Shu army's victory this time was attributed to these things.
The Shu army was fighting tooth and nail at the front, but this group of people was hiding behind and eking out an existence. It was not worthy to pass these things on to them!
But before leaving, Chen Mu repeatedly told these generals what happened on the battlefield. I have to say that General Chen was really selfless.
After some narration, Wei Qinghong took the Tang Heng Dao in one hand. When he understood the power of this thin knife, he was overjoyed.
"What a great sword! This sword is not only light, but also extremely tough. If all of our Long Xia army is equipped with such a sword, as well as this iron caltrop, what else can we fear against those barbarians?"
Not only Wei Qinghong, but also several other generals and Na He Guan listened to the entire battle. Their expressions softened a lot, and the arrogance from before suddenly appeared again.
Lin Qiye on the side looked at the three dandy generals quietly. Although they did not say anything, the expressions on their faces undoubtedly said that it turned out that they relied on these external forces.
If it were their sergeants who had these precious swords and these iron caltrops, they could do even better.
The reason why the Tatars are so powerful is because of their powerful and mobile cavalry. If there is a horse trap, this iron caltrop, and all the soldiers underneath with such a thin knife, what else is there?
Terrible?
For a moment, the three generals were all eager to try, knowing that if they really defeated the Tatar army and returned home in triumph, they would definitely be promoted to a noble rank.
What's more, it will be recorded in the history books by historians.
During the Longxia period, a certain general led his troops to fight on the battlefield and defeated the Tatar army. He was invincible and unparalleled in the world...
These dandies are not short of money. Once a person is satisfied with money, then the desires of the next class will be famous.
But before anyone could speak, He Guan, who had been silent all this time, spoke first.
"I see that after two battles, the Shu army has more than 5,000 people left. It is no longer safe to guard the pass of Wanlayer Gorge. If Zhang Yufeng is not allowed to lead Shuofang's army to replace the formation, what do you think, Wei Sima?
?”
Now that the Shu army has won a great victory, He Guan's plan has failed. Instead of doing this, it is better to send his own people there.
Although He Guan was an eunuch, he had followed the army for many years, and he knew very well what the horse trap and the iron caltrop Tang Hengdao could bring to Long Xia's army.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Shuofang's army is definitely stronger than Shu's army.
Since this momentum is unstoppable, it is better to support the people under you
As soon as they heard that the supervisory army had designated Shuofang's army to go, the remaining two people suddenly showed expressions of pity.
It was as if they had missed the unparalleled success of this battle.
As for Zhang Yufeng, he looked extremely excited. If he could defeat the Tatar army this time, after returning to Chang'an and his father's operation, it would not be a problem to become a marquis.
Being granted the title of Marquis at the age of twenty, Zhang Yufeng felt short of breath just thinking about it.
How could Wei Qinghong not know what He Guan was thinking?
But in the current situation, the Shu army indeed only has more than 5,000 troops left. If the Tatar army attacks again, it may not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, this time the two people's opinions were unified.
"Okay, Zhang Yufeng listens to the order, I ordered Shuofang's army to go to Wanlayer Gorge to resist the Tatar army."
"The last general takes orders."
But at this moment, Lin Qiye reported back again: "Back to Sima, can our Shu army always be stationed on the Wanlayer Gorge Mountain, so that if anything happens, we can help General Zhang."
Zhang Yufeng sneered: "When Shuofang is equipped with that thin knife, what can you military shamers do to help? By the way, don't you want to help... I'm afraid it's a bit hasty to make that thin knife now. I will ask Shu first.
The sword in the army's hand was lent to me, Shuofang's army."
"Zhang Yufeng, you are so fucking shameless. You still want something belonging to my Shu Army. Get away as far as you want!"
Not only did Lin Qiye look gloomy, but Huo Quxie, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but curse.
Without waiting for a few words of argument, who would have thought that Lin Qiye would directly agree: "Okay, as long as General Zhang needs it, I'll give it to you."
