Wei Lin and Wei Cheng were indeed diverted.
It's just that the two people, who had always been forthright, started to evade and hesitated for a long time without saying anything.
"Um?"
Shi Qingxue felt strange and patiently reassured him: "The two generals were the most trustworthy people in my father's life. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Wei Cheng and Wei Lin looked at each other again, as if they had finally made a decision, before Wei Cheng spoke in a low voice.
"To be honest with you, Miss, the general has no choice. In desperation, we thought of paying homage at the general's tomb when we come here. I hope the general will bless us."
Shi Qingxue was even more confused and couldn't help but become anxious, "If the two generals have any difficulties, as long as Qingxue can help, Qingxue will do her best. Please tell me clearly."
She was extremely curious, wondering what happened to force two such strong men to come to her ancestor's grave for help.
Wei Lin sighed and said in a desolate tone, "Miss, you also know that since the battle of Huwenpo, General Shi's body was buried in horse hides, and the Shi family's army also suffered heavy losses. Only less than a thousand people actually returned to Kyoto alive.
This was a huge blow that the Shi family army had never received since its founding.
Although Huwenpo's final victory and the emperor's commendation prevented the Shi family army from falling into despair, the sluggish morale has been difficult to recover, let alone return to its former peak.
Furthermore, although the Shi Jiajun has been recruiting troops in the past few months, the recruits are all new people, and the good and bad are mixed. It is difficult to integrate into the Shi Jiajun group, let alone become a member of the Shi Jiajun.
In addition, the instructors who trained the soldiers were eager for success and made the training more difficult. The recruits could not bear it. In just a few months, more than half of the thousands of new recruits had left. "
Mo Junyang said doubtfully: "After soldiers enter the camp, how can they leave the camp without any reason? According to the law, they will be punished as deserters."
Deserters can even be killed on the spot in Mo Country without reporting to superiors in advance.
Shi Qingxue explained to him: "When my grandfather founded the Shi Family Army, it was for the uprising. The conditions at that time were difficult, and he might lose his life at any time. Therefore, he ordered that if any soldier could not bear the hardships in the army, If you report one month in advance, you can voluntarily leave the military camp without being punished.
Soldiers who retreat like this will never be hired by the Shi family army or any other army in the future.
This rule is still in use today. Because the Shi Family Army did not belong to the imperial army, the imperial court did not care about this matter. It only reported the list of soldiers who separated from the Shi Family Army to the Ministry of War every year, which was equivalent to officially expelling those people from the military circles of the Mo Kingdom. "
However, Shi Qingxue knew the reason, but it did not make her feel relieved, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.
Because no matter in Shi Lei's time or when Shi Junhe led the Shi Family Army, no one in the Shi Family Army ever proposed to leave the military camp.
Unexpectedly, now that the Shi family's army was in her hands, there would be so many deserters.
It's simply... a disgrace!
Shi Qingxue subconsciously bit her lip tightly, with such force that she almost bit her lower lip.
It was Mo Junyang who noticed in time and raised his hand to stop her self-abuse behavior.
The man said in a deep and gentle voice: "Since these people are weak and can be bullied, just run away. Even if you barely stay in the military camp, you will only lose the battle in the future and hinder the army. There is nothing worth cherishing!"
The other three people were all stunned and speechless when they heard Mo Junyang's heroic words.
Yes, Mo Junyang is right.
If the Shi Family Army were the former Shi Family Army, they would have been carefully selected during the initial recruitment, and would not have allowed these weak people to enter the military camp.
But the problem is, times are not good now!
The Shi Family Army was able to attract so many people to enlist in the army in just a few months without relying on forced recruitment. This was already due to the resounding brand name of the Shi Family Army.
It’s really too bad to ask for more.
Listening to the complaints of the two lieutenants, Shi Qingxue once again felt that as a leader, he had neglected his duty.
These days, although she also went to the Shijiajun barracks for inspections, she just walked around casually and did not conduct serious inspections at all.
She also thought that as long as the military supplies of the Shi family army were guaranteed, the rest would be just a matter of giving the Shi family army time to recover on their own.
Unexpectedly, such a big basket came out.
Shi Qingxue blamed herself, but she really had no talent in military affairs.
After hearing the distress of the two lieutenants, there was no good solution for a while.
Mo Junyang said at this time: "Two generals, don't worry, it's just a matter of personnel and morale, which can be easily solved. You two can return to the military camp for now, and we will go to the military camp to handle it in person in a few days."
I believe that within a few months, you will definitely be able to achieve the results you want. "
Mo Junyang probably didn't know how to write the word "arrogant" because of his nature. As soon as he said it, his words were astonishing.
The two generals were stunned and looked at Mo Junyang blankly, unable to react.
However, Qingxue listened and remained thoughtfully silent for a while, then smiled at Wei Lin and Wei Cheng, and said gently: "Since Prince Mo said so, he must have something. When he was in Beidi, , you have also seen the strength of Ruicheng Army.
I believe Prince Mo will not disappoint you! "
It is no exaggeration to say that the Ruicheng Army trained by Mo Junyang is no less inferior to the Shi Family Army.
It's just that this evil wolf has put away its fangs and is hiding in the vast land of the northwest, hiding from the mountains and rivers.
Now that Mo Junyang said such words, he must have a solution.
Wei Lin and Wei Cheng felt a little more relieved at this time, and said, "We will wait for Prince Mo to arrive at the temporary military camp."
These two people really came here to hold the 'ancestor's feet' temporarily.
After getting a satisfactory answer, he immediately said goodbye and left.
Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang went to worship Shi Junhe's tomb.
Before coming here, Ruo said she was still a little confused and didn't know what to say to Junhe at the same time.
Now she stood in front of the tomb, her eyes gradually becoming firmer.
"Dad, don't worry, Qingxue will definitely live up to your last wishes before your death. Your daughter will fulfill your unfulfilled wishes for you!"
Whether it is bringing Shi Jiajun home, or letting Shi Jiajun maintain his former glory and achievements.
She will never allow the Shi family army to decline in her hands!
Hearing this, Mo Junyang also took a step forward and took Shi Qingxue's hand, under her astonished gaze.
In the same solemn tone, he said to the tombstone: "Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will work hard to achieve everything Qingxue hopes and wants for her."
Shi Qingxue never thought that such a cold person as Mo Junyang would behave like this.
The character is broken.
But, it's inexplicably cute.
Shi Qingxue couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
The previous gloom was swept away.
Mo Junyang touched his nose, his voice was a little strange and stiff, "What's wrong?"
Shi Qingxue: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to say such a thing?"
Mo Junyang has always had a do-not-talk temperament, and rarely uses words to please people.
If Shi Junhe was still alive, he might not have heard what Mo Junyang said.
Now, in order to make Qingxue feel at ease, she frankly expressed her inner thoughts.
It's still the kind of silly thing you say to the tombstone.
So cute!
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but said: "Jun Yang, I love you so much!"
Mo Jun raised his eyebrows: "That's good."
Shi Qingxue: "..." Shameless!
Her little face was flushed and her eyes were averted.
But she hesitated for a moment, and finally stood on tiptoes. Under Mo Junyang's surprised eyes, she came up to him and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.
So light, so indulgent.
Without any lust.
It’s an expression of gratitude, and it’s also an expression of love.
Now it was Mo Junyang's turn to be dumbfounded and look at her blankly.
Shi Qingxue snickered, "Fool."
The dull atmosphere upon arrival dissipated unconsciously.
Although the road ahead seemed more confusing, Shi Qingxue felt inexplicably relaxed.
Even on the carriage back to the city, she was still full of energy. She pulled Mo Junyang and asked: "You said so firmly, but is there a way?"
Mo Junyang: "There are definitely ways, but we still have to go to the military camp to see the specific situation first."
The last few times when Shi Qingxue went to the Shi family barracks to inspect, Mo Junyang did not follow him.
Firstly, to avoid suspicion and avoid being accused of slandering him for coveting the military power of the Shi family; secondly, he was also very busy, and he happened to have no time on those few occasions.
After all, ever since Mo Xiangbin came to power, Mo Junyang, the crown prince of Prince Rui, has wielded real power and been busy with government affairs.
Mo Junyang has taken the initiative to intervene in the military affairs of the Shi family army this time. I wonder what kind of rumors and troubles will arise!
Shi Qingxue thought for a while, but couldn't help but worry, "Now that your life experience has been revealed to the emperor, if you go to take charge of the Shi family army now, I'm afraid that someone will spread the news, and the gap between you and the emperor will become deeper." ”
It was only someone like Shi Qingxue who believed in Mo Junyang wholeheartedly that she believed that Mo Junyang had no intention of power, and it was even because of her that she was willing to take care of Shi Jiajun's troubles.
If it were anyone else, who wouldn't think that Mo Junyang was trying to take over the Shi family army
But Mo Junyang didn't care at all, and said calmly: "If you really want to be suspicious, you will always find faults by making assumptions and making baseless claims. No matter how cautious you are, it will be useless.
not to mention… "
"Huh?" Shi Qingxue listened carefully to Mo Junyang's words at first, but when she saw him suddenly stopped, she gave him a strange look.
Then he asked: "What's more? Why didn't you say anything?"
What's more, Mo Junyang has never been afraid of Mo Junyu.
However, Mo Junxiang didn't say this. He swallowed it back and said with a faint smile: "Anyway, just let me take care of this matter. You don't have to worry."
It’s this single-handed argument again.
Shi Qingxue rolled her eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
He said: "I just thought about it, and the most urgent problem that needs to be solved now is the insufficient staffing of the Shi Jiajun.
Recruiting troops is still the top priority.
The question is how to recruit? "
