Hello Chang’an

Chapter 375 The Secret of Xi Zhiyuan (please vote for me)

"The Japanese army has retreated nearly ten miles away. May I ask the commander if he wants to lead his army in pursuit?" He Wuhu asked for instructions.

"No pursuit." Chang Suining looked at the fleet on the sea ahead and the scattered flames of war remaining on the water, and said: "Order them to retreat to the defense line."

He Wuhu hesitated for a moment, and Qihu, whose face was still stained with the blood of the Japanese army, blurted out: "Commander, these Japanese bandits have attacked four times in the past half month! They are really like flies that cannot be killed! If we don't give them a blow today, If you let them go easily, they will come again in a few days! "

Qihu said, raised the knife in his hand, and said with murderous intent: "Please give the commander an order to let us go after the Japanese bandit, so that the brothers can kill it in one go! It can also boost morale!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the girl in front of the boat railing turning her head. Her eyes were quieter and colder than the sea water, and her voice was also very cold: "I said I won't chase you. What, are you questioning the military order and teaching me how to do things?" ?”

Meeting those eyes, Qihu's expression suddenly froze, his murderous intent disappeared, and he froze in place for a moment.

He Wuhu's face tightened and he immediately kicked him from behind.

Qihu suddenly came to his senses and quickly knelt down: "Subordinate... I don't dare!"

He Wuhu also knelt down uneasily.

"Since the first day you joined the army, I have said that if you want to serve under me, the first thing you need to do is to obey my military orders unconditionally—"

Chang Suining's eyes fell on Qihu: "You have been fighting as a Japanese army for a day, why are you retreating at this time? The night is dark now, the situation ahead is unclear, and the Japanese army is the best at guerrillas, believe it or not, you can lead a light army After chasing for twenty or thirty miles, the Japanese soldiers coming out from all sides will eat them until their bones are gone?"

"You can lead a heavy army to pursue, but who will defend the defense line? If the Japanese army attacks the defense line at night and causes the defense to fall, who will be responsible for it, you? What will you take? "

Qihu banged his head on the board of the ship: "Yes... my subordinates were careless!"

"You are not careless, you are ignorant, and you are blinded by the desire to kill, so you dare to try to refute my military order - if everyone wants to question when listening to the marching order, I will need to explain it in nonsense. The stakes must be clearly stated to you, all the generals and aircraft, should we continue the war?"

Chang Sui Ning said ruthlessly: "If you still can't get used to obeying military orders, just take the ten army sticks and go back to Wuhu Mountain by yourself. Don't ruin the military discipline in our army, so as not to harm others at the critical moment." Harm yourself."

"I realize my mistake!" Qi Hu was shocked and kowtowed repeatedly: "I am willing to receive twenty army sticks. I beg the general not to drive me away!"

He Wuhu's face paled a lot, and he began to intercede for Qihu: "...General, it's my subordinates who have failed to discipline me well!"

When he heard the general's order to retreat, he hesitated for a moment. How could the general's words be directed only at Qihu? Why weren't they meant for him?

Qi Hu and others all worked under him. The general did not disperse them. Instead, he gave him the position of school captain. Qi Hu and others were all assigned to him. In this way, the general gave him his own relatives. soldiers.

Therefore, surrounded by his brothers in the past, he could always speak the truth and maintain his majesty. When he was a bandit in Wuhu Mountain, and because he had stained a lot of blood in the past half month, he killed more than a dozen Japanese with the knife in his hand. Soldiers, they think they are very capable...unconsciously, they get carried away with their words and deeds.

At this moment, the cool sea breeze blew across his sweaty face, and He Wuhu finally woke up and wished he could slap himself twice.

It's impossible to go back to Wuhu Mountain... He has been following the general these days, and he has gained some long-term insights. The world is too chaotic. Even if they gather into chaos, they have no money to recruit troops and no ink strategy in their stomachs. A reckless attitude is destined to fail to make a big impact. If you turn to others, you will still be suppressed in terms of status. In terms of future and reputation, how can you compare with following a general?

The most rare thing is that the general is tolerant, otherwise he would not continue to let his brothers follow him - on the contrary, he is arrogant and fails to restrain his brothers by example!

After these days, He Wuhu sincerely admired and respected Chang Sui Ning, but due to his gangsterism and human nature, when his murderous aura prompted him to get carried away, he started to feel complacent. At this moment, this sign was cut off in time, and he kowtowed in shame. Go down.

Chang Suining never said a harsh word to He Wuhu from beginning to end, helping him preserve his face and dignity in front of his subordinates. He Wuhu was not stupid and could understand the important intention, so he became even more ashamed and unsatisfied. Not even remotely resentful.

The military order was majestic and must not be lost. Qihu was taken to the stern of the ship to lead the military sticks. He Wuhu "shared" the ten military sticks for Qihu in the name of "inadequate restraint".

After receiving ten military sticks each, the two men were helped back to the cabin. As soon as a group of brothers gathered around, He Wuhu, who was lying there, said: "...from now on, any of you will dare to disobey military orders or talk about the general behind his back." Let’s see if I don’t tear off his dog’s head and use it as a urinal!”

The boss was subjected to military law, and everyone in Wuhu Mountain couldn't help but feel panic. Seeing their boss's attitude at this moment, they all responded quickly, not daring to express any dissatisfaction.

"Boss, are you feeling any pain?" Liu Hu asked with some distress when he saw that the military doctor was applying medicine and the underpants he had taken off were bloody.

"Why does it hurt? It doesn't hurt at all!" He Wuhu raised his head and said with a relaxed and proud look on his face: "The general has me in his heart, so how can he be willing to let others hit him hard!"

The medicine was sprinkled on the wound, which made his neck throb in pain, but he stared at Qihu who was lying aside, his eyes full of warning.

Qihu gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes and did not dare to shout out. Faced with his companion's question, "Doesn't it really hurt?", he forced a smile and said, "...it doesn't hurt!"

"It doesn't hurt, that's okay!" Liuhu kicked him on the side of the leg: "Then let's settle the score! How can you die for what you did so well, and you want the boss to be punished for you!"

Being injured by this kick, Qihu finally couldn't help crying "Wow", and used confession and tears to cover up the fact that he was crying in pain: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

He Wuhu was also in pain and wanted to grimace. Although Chang Sui Ning really didn't let anyone do it harshly and didn't hurt his muscles and bones, the skin was inevitably torn and the flesh was bruised. When the medicine was sprinkled on it, it was really painful.

He Wuhu inhaled in pain, and did not forget to teach everyone a lesson: "In short, keep your tail clipped for me from now on! Even if you were a wolf before, you must be a family dog ​​in the future! If you can't be a wolf, you should do it yourself as soon as possible Get out and eat!"

Tang Xing, who was riding the sea breeze at the stern of the ship, danced a swordsmanship. She sheathed his sword heartily. Passing by the cabin, he heard the voice of He Wuhu lecturing inside. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sure enough, I have a good command. ah."

He returned to the coach's ship and met with Chang Suining: "I wonder what Governor Chang's plan is next?"

"I was injured, so I naturally have to go back to the camp to recuperate." Chang Sui Ning sat cross-legged behind the gongan in the cabin and said, "After taking stock of the next things, you will follow me back to the shore at dawn tomorrow."

In the past twenty days, she has clearly discerned the Japanese army's current combat strategy, which is still based on guerrilla warfare. Facing the Japanese army's scattered offensive, all they need to do is to strictly defend themselves.

If she engages in guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army, her navy will not have the upper hand at all, and will easily be diverted and dispersed, disrupting the distribution of defenses. Therefore, she currently plans to only defend rather than attack, to preserve her strength to the greatest extent, and to delay and consume the Japanese army's patience.

And her "purpose" as a coach to participate in the war has been achieved, and she can return to the camp to arrange the next matters for the time being.

Tang Xing didn't ask much about Chang Suining's plan, but he could guess some of it. After several battles, he could see that his own soldiers didn't use the latest military formations during training at all. The mechanisms that the craftsmen were ordered to add to the ship according to the drawings a few days ago were not actually displayed in front of the Japanese army.

The lights in the cabin swayed slightly, and the girl sitting there had an upright posture: "Thanks to Mr. Tang for his timely help today, otherwise my arm might have been lost to the Japanese sword."

Regarding this statement, Tang Xing did not comment, only waved his hand and said: "I have said it many times, I am different from Brother Luo and the others. Governor Chang does not need to call me sir, what kind of gentleman am I?" He said half-jokingly: "And The title of "Mr." reminds me of a formal, old-fashioned scholar, which is really inconsistent with Tang's behavior. "

Chang Suining smiled and asked, "Then what should I call you?"

Tang Xing said cheerfully: "Sir, just call me Tang Xing. You can also call me by my cousin!"

Chang Sui Ning Congshan Ruliu nodded: "Okay, from now on I will call you sleepy in private. By the way, I remember you said last time that you are proficient in Dongluo language?"

Tang Xing nodded: "Yes, I was born in the North. When I was young, I stayed in Yingzhou for two years. At that time, I met a Dongluo businessman. I was very curious about foreign things, so I often helped him After picking up and transporting goods, I had more contact with the Dongluo people and learned their words. "

Not only Dongluo dialect, he has been wandering around since he was twelve or thirteen years old, making friends with teachers everywhere. Over the past twenty years, he has mastered more or less various dialects.

"I would like to ask Xiukeng to teach the Dongluo language to the soldiers in the army, about a hundred of them." Chang Suining thought for a while and said, "I wonder if I can learn it roughly in more than two months?"

"How much time can adults give them to study every day?"

Chang Suining: "Except for half an hour of practicing martial arts every day, the rest of the time can be spent on it."

Tang Xing understood that one hundred people had been specially allocated to learn Dongluo language.

Chang Suining added: "Time is tight, there is no need to let them master everything. Just focus on the handover terms in the army in addition to brief exchanges."

Tang Xing thought for a moment and nodded: "In that case, please feel free to leave this matter to me."

That night, Chang Suining told Yuan Xiang to pick people after returning to the camp. They should be smart, quick to learn things, and similar in height and appearance to the Dongluo people. At least they should not be identifiable at a glance. He is a prosperous person.

At first glance, it sounds difficult to choose, but it is not difficult to find a hundred or so among the 80,000 troops.

After everything was settled, Chang Suining slept in the cabin for two or three hours. When the sky got slightly brighter, the fleet returning to camp had been assembled.

Chang Suining retained enough manpower to replace the defensive patrols and returned to the camp with his personal guards and wounded soldiers.

During the boat trip, the sky was clear. Chang Suining stood on the right side of the boat, holding a crystal lens in front of one eye, squinting the other eye and looking eastward.

This lens was made by Shen Sanmao. It is nothing more than a crystal piece set on the handle. It has the effect of magnifying the things in front of you. Chang Suining tried it at sea, but the distance of the magnification effect was very limited. It was fine for reading and observing. Things are still too different.

Chang Suining thought about it and asked Shen Sanmao to study it with a skilled craftsman to see if it could be improved. If it could really be used to observe distant objects, that would be great.

The direction she was looking at at the moment with the lens was the direction of Dong Luo, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

Dongluo is currently experiencing internal turmoil. After the old King Dongluo died of illness, his eldest son was assassinated, and now his third son has succeeded to the throne.

Chang Suining could not learn more information for the time being, but she knew another secret.

This secret was revealed to her by Cui Jing in the letter.

Cui Jing thought of the uncertainty of Dongluo's position when he first discovered the Japanese invasion of Dasheng, so he explained to her a secret matter that he had found out when he was in Beijing -

This matter is related to Xi Zhiyuan.

Thinking of this name, a fair and handsome face flashed in Chang Suining's mind, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were always gentle and smiling.

The young man who started studying in Dasheng at the age of twelve and stayed there for six full years before leaving Beijing and returning to Dongluo last year was also a member of the Wuer Society. She played polo together and got along with Cui Langqiao and Yubai day and night, becoming classmates and friends.

But Cui Jing told her that his original name was not Xi Zhiyuan, and his identity was not just an ordinary nobleman from Dongluo.

Last year, Cui Lang wrote to her, reluctantly saying that Xi Zhiyuan left Dasheng and returned to Dongluo Kingdom. The reason was that he was urged by a letter from home. Something happened at home and he needed to rush back.

So, when Xi Zhiyuan mentioned "family affairs" at that time, did he mean that the old King Dongluo was seriously ill? Or is it some other inside story?

What role did he play in the dispute between the Donglu princes for the throne? Are you at peace now?

A person who can change his identity and study patiently at Dasheng for six full years is definitely not an ordinary person.

Chang Sui Ning's eyes were filled with thoughts. She had to carefully understand Dong Luo's current internal situation.

The sky turned dark and bright again, and when the ship docked smoothly, it was already close to dusk again.

On the coast, Gui Qi broke away from A Che's hands and ran toward Chang Suining's warship with his hooves raised.

Chang Suining jumped over the deck and landed, smiling and patting Guiqi's head.

Ah Che ran after him, his eyes full of joy, and he panted: "My lady, you are back safely!"

"The coach is back!"

Instructor Fang Da led the soldiers forward to salute. Fang Chao was still training the soldiers just now. At this moment, his thick upper body was naked and covered with fat and lean, and was tied with a red belt. After all, the year of his life was not over yet.

After Chang Suining walked out of the crowd, Ah Che was able to step forward again and spoke in a lower voice: "...Girl, there is news about Master Wu Jue!"

Chang Suining, who was holding the horse, immediately stopped at his feet.
