Chapter 727: Do you have noble sentiment?
"Your Highness is famous in the desert. Wanyan Tutu is ordered by our Lord to hunt Xixia. Can Your Highness give you advice?"
The content of the Zhan Shu was very awkward, and his words were quite polite, but after being polite, it was full of provocation.
Xia Yan accepted the Zhan Shu and then suddenly realized that no wonder he encountered these Jurchens here. I guess they were going to send the Zhan Shu. It was the closest to the Wolf Castle to go to this road. It was understandable that he ran into this team of scouts halfway. Seeing that there were few people on his side, he wanted to take the opportunity to eat his team of scouts, but who knew that he had gnawed a hard bone.
Xia Yan turned over and looked at the sky, and said, "Go back and report!"
One of the scouts who had a minor injury pulled out the cluster of arrows that were inserted into the flesh on the back. Fortunately, the cluster of arrows was not deep into the flesh, so there was nothing serious. After a brief bandage, the group returned immediately.
When he arrived near the Wolf Castle, he bumped into another team of scouts. When the other party saw Xia Yan, he said happily: "Why did you come back so late? The battalion officer saw that you were reluctant to return, and thought that something was happening to you was in danger, so he asked us to pick him up."
A scout behind Xia Yan said with a smug look: "We hit dozens of Jurchens and four of them were killed by us." As he spoke, his chest couldn't help but stand up.
The other party smiled and said with envy: "Your Highness has just arrived with the Hengshan Army, and you have made contributions, which is gratifying."
Xia Yan said in surprise: "Do you have come down so early?"
"It was also in the evening. Another cavalry army was winding for more than a few miles. Let's go back and report to the camp officer."
Xia Yan and they rushed towards the Wolf Castle. The so-called Wolf Castle is actually just a small city block on the border. Of course, it cannot accommodate such a huge army and horse, so there are no troops and horses in the city block, but instead of garrisoning in the city block, but stockpiling food and grass. The army is stationed near the Wolf Castle. From a distance, within a radius of ten miles, the camp tents are connected, adjacent to Aishui Lake for several miles.
Xia Yan first went to the scout camp to meet the battalion officer. Gu Yan was attacked in the middle of the way, and then took out the war letter. When the battalion officer saw the war letter, he did not dare to delay and immediately went to the central army to report. After a stick of incense, he rushed back. At this time, Xia Yan was exhausted and returned to his tent to ask for some hot water to soak his feet. The battalion officer rushed in and said to himself, "Hurry up, put on his boots, come with me."
Xia Yan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Why, where to go?"
The battalion officer patted him on the shoulder hard and said, "Your Highness wants to see you personally. Boy, maybe you will receive a reward. A medal is inevitable."
After hearing this, Xia Yan didn't even bother to wrap his feet, so he put his boots on barefoot and went with the camp officer.
When we arrived at the gate of the Central Military Camp, the prevention and control here was obviously much tighter. Every three steps and every five steps were whistle. The captains wearing iron-shelled Fanyang hats appeared in front and behind. They stopped them expressionlessly and said, "Command!"
The battalion officer rubbed his hands and said embarrassingly: "Shen, your sister."
The other party just put down his guard, whispered, and signaled the two of them to go in.
Xia Yan quickly followed the camp officer and said in confusion: "What does it mean, your sister Shen?"
The camp officer spread his hands while walking, saying, "How can I know?"
At this time, there was only the last sunset left at dusk. The sun set and the sky was dim. The star-shaped bonfires lit up from around the camp. The two arrived at the central army tent and called someone to inform them first. Then someone said: "Please ask the scout camp official Wan Hai and the scout team official Xia Yan to enter the tent."
Both of them were from school lieutenants. After hearing this, they immediately straightened their bodies and stepped in with the Confucian sword on their waists. Someone opened the curtain for them, and they bent slightly and walked into the big tent.
Dozens of oil lamps made the tent bright as daylight. There were many generals on the left and right. There were also doctors in the corners writing something. Occasionally, people would come in and out in a hurry and whisper. The area here occupies a large area, which occupies a hundred feet in a circle. There were also many documents placed. Some people were lying on the document and watching something, while others sat on the side holding tea and whispering.
This is just the outer room of the big tent. There is also a small tent inside. The curtain is rolled open. I guess the Regent should be working inside. When one of the generals saw them, he nodded at them: "Is it Wan Hai and Xia Yan?"
Wan Hai and Xia Yan immediately took a long boot and straightened their bodies and said, "Yes."
The general was startled by their actions, and many busy people looked up at them, and then they went to work tirelessly. The general just smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, please come into the inner tent."
The two followed the general to the inner tent and found that the inner tent was quite large. There were four or five people standing inside, surrounding a table and saying something. Several of them were known to Wan Hai and Xia Yan, including Wu Da, Li Qing and Han Shizhong, and the others also looked familiar, but they couldn't call their names for a while. But there was a soft couch in the other corner. Of course, the people on the soft couch knew who was not the Regent?
The Regent half-lying on the soft couch and was sleeping. There were a few people standing beside the bed. One of them was particularly profound. It was actually a woman with a terrifying ghost face on her face. If it weren't for the many people here and the brightness of daytime, I was afraid that I would be scared at first sight.
The general who led them in walked to the couch and said a few words in Shen Ao's ear. Then Shen Ao sat up with sleepy eyes open, his eyes fell on Xia Yan and Wan Hai, stood up from the couch, and said, "Okay, okay, everyone will come to see this Xia team official."
Everyone stopped talking and movements, and their eyes fell on Xia Yan. Xia Yan was a little excited and nervous for a moment, and straightened his body even more, saying to Shen Ao: "I have seen Your Highness."
Shen Ao waved his hand and said, "I asked you to tell me about your battle. Don't be nervous, just talk slowly."
Shen Ao was wearing a black dragon robe, a jade belt, a Jinxian crown on his head, and a little bags in his eyes. He was obviously sleep-deprived or tired. He pressed his hands and signaled everyone to sit down, while he stood with his hands behind his back. As soon as he finished speaking, a doctor in the corner immediately picked up his pen, guessing that he wanted to record Xia Yan's words.
Xia Yan had never encountered such a situation before. He couldn't speak for a while. The Adam's apple rolled twice and looked at Shen Ao with his eyes open.
Shen Ao sighed and said, "I am much bolder than you when I was at your age, and I am not afraid even if I see Your Majesty." He smiled lightly and said, "I am just your commander, don't worry. Do you have such a lack of prospect when you see the instructor?"
Shen Ao is at most one or two years older than Xia Yan. When he is so old, he is indeed very bold, otherwise he would not have been named Shen Langzi.
After hearing his words, Xia Yan relaxed and explained the battle in detail. Wuda, Li Qing, Han Shizhong and others gathered to listen carefully. Sometimes they would ask some questions, whether it was the Jurchens who did not occupy the windy terrain or how to ride and shoot. Xia Yan answered very seriously, meticulously showing the situation at that time. When he was in the excitement, he also took paper and pen to draw the general position, how to rush out diagonally to open the distance, how to master the rhythm of the battle, the Jurchens' riding and shoot strength, and the characteristics of the Jurchen war horses, etc.
Xia Yan said while saying that the doctor who was holding the pen was indeed writing. When everyone listened to him, many people pinched their chins and looked thoughtful.
The general situation is clear. Li Qing, an instructor from a cavalry, cheered up and said, "So, the Jurchens' cavalry and shooting skills should not be as good as the cavalry lieutenant. I am afraid that even the cavalry samurai in Mingwu Academy are not as good as the cavalry samurai. The Jurchens are good at charging and samurai, but we still can't understand the strength of close combat. However, one thing is certain, if a cavalry lieutenant uses cavalry to harass, there should be no mistakes." He took a pen and drew a simple array sketch on a piece of old draft paper, and said selflessly: "Infantry can be used as bait, cavalry lieutenant, cavalry samurai are responsible for harassing on both wings, cavalry camp and The Pioneer Camp can try their edge, as for..." He raised his eyes and looked at Gui Zhihuan not far away, smiled faintly at the strange woman, and then found that Chen Ao's murderous gaze shot towards him. He was so scared that he felt cold on his back and said in his heart, "It's just a look, why should the Regent be so nervous? So he continued to bury his head: "As for the Hengshan Cavalry, it can be used as a trump card to block the box. Except for the Hengshan Army, the rest of the military horses are used to eliminate the sprint and morale of the war horses that resist the Jurchens. It will be almost the same..." He clenched his fists and smashed them hard on the table and said, "Take the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop."
Uda held his chin and said, "The Jurchens will definitely keep the back team. What if the Jurchens' back team rushed over at this time?"
Everyone was thinking about something again, and Chen Ao, who had been silent, said: "Then attract them all, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated. The Jurchens are used to being arrogant. As long as they anger them, they will definitely make a desperate bet." Chen Ao smiled faintly and said: "You are the best at marching and setting up formations, but you can fan the flames... Haha..." He said proudly: "I am not bragging, there is no opponent of me in the world."
Everyone burst into laughter, and even Gui Zhihuan behind the ghost face chuckled.
Chen Ao raised his face again and said to the doctor who recorded: "Have you finished recording?"
The doctor wrote: "The battle has been recorded."
Chen Ao said: "Issued it to each battalion and let them think about it so that they can compare the advantages and disadvantages of the Jurchens. Although it is just a small battle, this experience is also precious."
The doctor nodded, dried the ink traces, and took the manuscript of the record to the outer tent and asked someone to copy dozens of copies. Chen Ao's eyes fell on Xia Yan again, and he said with a stern face: "Squadron officer, are you scared when you were in the battle?"
Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, holding his face to shake his head, but he still honestly said: "Report to Your Highness, Xia Yan is really a little scared."
Chen Ao looked as if I knew it, and sighed: "It's normal to be afraid. After all, you are still young. I can't blame you with your own standards. Will I tell you that when I first killed someone, I only had the joy of making achievements and the noble feelings of serving the country and the people when I led my army to war for the first time? Is it only a resolute and resolute person who is not afraid of life, death, honor and disgrace?" He patted Xia Yan's shoulder, felt the smile cast from Gui Zhihuan's eyes, and pretended to be worldly and patted Xia Yan's shoulder again: "You go down, the contributions of your soldiers and the military and legal departments will check. As long as it is true, a medal is indispensable."
