In Mozhou, Gu Han truly witnessed the efficiency of the elite troops under Li Ze's command. When the orders from the Wuyi court arrived, the entire Mozhou bureaucracy operated at a speed he could not imagine. In just a few days, all the requirements for the expedition were in place, and the troops on the expedition were ready.

Gu Han, who has traveled around the world, has seen many troops, but he has never seen the mobilization speed of an army like the one in front of him. He originally thought that after arriving in Mozhou, there would be some time to rest and wait for the troops to be ready, but the Right Guard Army did not give him this time at all. On the third day, he received a notice and embarked on a journey with Li Rui.

Without levying any taxes from the people, nor mobilizing civilians, the army actually brought its own supplies and started to set off.

Gu Han has never seen any army that will not alarm the people before preparing to fight.

But the one in front of me did it.

The troops stationed in Mozhou, Li Rui, quietly left his camp before dawn.

"Judge Gu, I really didn't expect that you would do this thing!" Li Rui sat on the horse-drawn sled, with two snowboards on his knees.

The two of them had just fought for a long-distance skating competition. Although Li Rui was in the end, he was better than Gu Han in both skills and endurance, Li Rui still admired Gu Han very much. After all, the other party was strictly a scholar.

This contest made Li Rui look at the judge in front of him with admiration.

"When I was traveling in my early years, I visited the Northeast, not to mention Pingzhou, and even Liaozhou. This thing was learned at that time." Gu Han smiled and picked up the snowboard beside him, rubbing the bottom of the board as bright as a mirror, and said with emotion: "But at that time, I could only make a simple and just make two wooden boards. Most of the time I walked away instead of sliding like now. It was too rough and it was very difficult to slide."

"We are different!" Li Rui said: "This is specially created by the branch of the Mozhou branch. It specially chose wooden boards with excellent flexibility and made them. After polishing, it also put on multiple paints. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to damage their bottom. Even if you cut with a knife, you may not be able to cut it off with just one knife. This pair is worth several taels of silver!"

Gu Han was very moved. When he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Ze once told him that his biggest dream was to kill the enemy with money. Although it was a joke, it was not funny. At least in Li Ze's troops, he was using increasingly better and better equipment to make his soldiers win at the starting line.

Take the snowboard in front of you as an example. It can greatly increase the speed of infantry running and save physical strength. If livestock are used to pull carts to transport soldiers to increase their movement speed, it will put a lot of pressure on the logistics. After all, livestock must be eaten. In such a snowy and ice, anything that can be eaten is basically transported from the back.

This army has limited the use of livestock to a minimum without affecting its combat capabilities.

Speaking of which, it costs several taels of silver to use such a pair of snowboards, but if you count the consumption saved by this, Li Ze might still make a profit.

If you don’t experience the joints here yourself, it’s hard to understand. Most people’s vision will only be based on how much it costs to have such a pair of snowboards.

"General Li's skiing skills are really superb. Have you practiced them in the past two years?" Gu Han asked with interest.

"No!" Li Rui smiled and said, "When we were still in the secret camp, we lived in Daqingshan. Isn't there a month every year? Is the mountain covered with heavy snow? The young master made many such skis for us to practice. The happiest thing at that time was to slide down from the top of the mountain. If we win, we could have a delicious meal of braised pork. If we lose, we could only drool next to us."

"That's quite dangerous."

"Of course, it's common to break your arms and legs, but compared to the feeling of speeding up, it's really nothing to be injured. The most skilled person in our group is Li Mi, the madman who once jumped down from a cliff more than ten feet high. No one dared to do it except Li Han, the stuffed guy. That was when Li Mi established her status as a big sister in the secret camp."

"Then Li Han is second?"

"Li Han broke his leg and lay down for three months!" Li Rui laughed.

Seeing that Li Rui was in a good mood, Gu Han said, "General Li, we captured a lot of prisoners in the first two battles. I don't think there is any need to cut them off. Send them back to Governor Li, maybe they can play a role. Building roads and building cities can also be used!"

Li Rui looked at Gu Han with a smile.

"General Li, I have no intention of accuse you, nor have I intention of interfering in military affairs. After all, General Liu gave me the order to observe this battle. This is just my personal thought." Gu Han explained.

"Judge Gu is too worried." Li Rui smiled and said, "Since you are sending troops to fight together, and you are a spoon in a pot, that is brothers. If you have any good suggestions, I will have an opinion if you don't say them. You are knowledgeable and have broad-minded, and you are not as good as those of us who grew up in the mountains. So in terms of combat, what do you think? Even if you tell me, of course, the decision to adopt or not is determined by me."

"General Li is open-minded, Gu admires it. It is Gu who judges a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Gu Han clasped his fists and apologized sincerely.

"We are all taught by the young master, so we should learn the young master's mind well!" Li Rui laughed and said, "Judge Gu, Governor Li will not ask for these people. If these people are really sent to Mozhou, it will only cause chaos. These people are used to robbing and killing them in their original places. The best solution is."

"Maybe not necessarily." Gu Han did not agree. "General Li, I heard that General Liu was punished for killing prisoners back then. You are still young. If you were reported by the Censorate, it would inevitably hinder your future."

Li Rui smiled and said, "When Judge Gu did not come, these people had sneaked into my Mozhou area many times and attacked many villages. If Judge Gu had seen the tragic situation in those villages, he might not have said these words."

Looking at Gu Han, Li Rui continued: "Where they go, there are no chickens and dogs left. All the living are taken away by them and become their slaves, and the rest are all dead. Tell me, what threats are those old people posing to them? They also killed them with one knife."

"War can indeed make people turn into wild beasts." Gu Han said.

Li Han smiled and said, "Judge Gu, do you know the two-legged sheep?"

"Ah?" Gu Han was shocked.

"These people who were stolen by them were their slaves when they had food, and they worked for them. When there was no food, they were the food for these people. Do you know why I killed all these?" Li Rui's eyes gradually became cold.

"Two-legged sheep?" Gu Han was a little lost.

Li Rui nodded: "When I captured the first fort, my soldiers discovered such a thing. A child, who was probably less than ten years old, was cut into several large pieces after being ripped open by them, and was cooking in the pot! He also added seasonings. The child was snatched away when they invaded Mozhou a few times."

Gu Han lowered his head and kept retching.

"I, Li Rui, have been hungry and almost starved to death, but even when I was about to die of starvation, I never had such thoughts." Li Rui said: "Can these bastards be considered humans? They are all wild beasts. I didn't let you see it, just because I was afraid that you would not be able to stand such a scene. Do you know what they did after eating meat? They grind the bones into flour, and then mixed the flour with wild vegetables and flour to make cakes and dry food."

Gu Han finally vomited.

"So, if you capture these castles, you will not keep any of me. I, Li Rui, are not the ones who kill, but I will never show mercy to these people." Li Rui said ruthlessly. "It is the word "death" when it falls into my hands."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "There are people from the Censorate in my army, but he also rushed up and chopped up several prisoners!"

"It's true to be killed!" Gu Han finally vomited completely.

Li Rui thoughtfully handed over a bag, "Drink some bar, it's better."

After taking a big sip, Gu Han said, "Next time I catch such a person, let me chop a few too!"

"Can scholars kill people?" Li Rui teased.

"When I was traveling, I killed many bandits!" Gu Han said, "I almost killed them. Fortunately, I didn't die at the hands of anyone, otherwise I would not be at peace if I was really in the Nine Netherworld Land. General Li, I am not a person who is not diligent in all four bodies and does not distinguish between grains."

"I know this. I can't beat him, Chief Zhang of Wuwei Academy!" Li Rui laughed. "Don't look at the old man's age, his body is full of flesh, and it's intimidating."

Li Rui can make fun of Zhang Hui, but as a fan of Zhang Hui, Gu Han will not be so light and heavy.

While talking and laughing, a bright red flower suddenly bloomed in the distance. While the red flower was blooming in the air, the troops on the marching suddenly stopped, and the shrill sound of the military horn suddenly rang out.

Li Rui stood up all of a sudden.

The infantry on both wings quickly gathered towards the central army amid the sound of the military horns. In a moment, a thick lineup had been formed between the central army, and the central army was also assembled at the same time.

In Gu Han's dazzled, this marching force has become a lineup that is both offensive and defensive.
