Marching on a long road, Jingshao's elite team did not bring siege equipment and heavy armor, but after all, they were not all cavalry, and they also carried pots and pans. Without dragging its legs, a horse that followed Jing Shao walked slowly.
Ge Ruoyi sat quietly in front of the car, pouring tea and water for the people in the car at any time, resting at noon, and Jing Shao would get into the military coach's carriage for a while. The right guard is very jealous, and often steals the position of the coachman. By the way, he is close to the beautiful maid of the military division. However, Ge Ruoyi always asks ten questions and answers, even if the right guard is curious about the origin of the military division. , and did not get a few words from Ge Ruoyi.
"The maid of the military division, naturally you can keep the secret better than you." Zuo Hujun patted the downcast You Hujun.
"Xiao Zuo, are you comforting me?" The right guard glanced at him.
"Of course it is." Zuo Hujun turned on his horse expressionlessly and continued on his way.
After doing this for more than ten days, they arrived at the Dahang Mountains. The endless mountains blocked the way forward. It was necessary to make a detour for more than 100 miles.
"The Long Snake Formation is weak both offensively and defensively. Once it encounters an enemy, it will be beaten by standing up!" Zhao Meng pointed to the formation diagram in the middle of the tent.
"But if you are marching on the mountain road, you won't be able to go fast if you don't set up a long snake formation!" The right guard pointed to the topographic map.
"What are you arguing about?" Jing Shao, who had eaten dinner, walked in with his military advisor, and when he saw that the two had a red face and a thick neck, he asked Zuo Hujun, who was silently reading the military book with a blank face.
"Back to the lord, they are discussing how to get to the mountain road in the southwest." Zuo Hujun said.
Jingshao knew that he encountered a large mountain blocking the road today. Because of the equipment of soldiers and horses, it took more time to climb the mountain than detour, so he chose to detour. However, there are hills everywhere in the southwest, and there is no detour. At times, how to get there is a big problem.
"Master, you said, how can you not set up a long snake formation when marching on this mountain road?" The right guard dragged Mu Hanzhang to look at the topographic map of the southwest on the table. Most of the mountain roads are narrow, and other formations must not be set up.
"I didn't say that we can't set up a long snake formation, but if the enemy army is ambushed on the mountain road, the long snake will be injured in the chest and abdomen, obviously standing and beaten, so I said that the leading troops should clear the way in advance!" Zhao Meng was afraid of being attacked. Misunderstanding, hurriedly explained.
Jing Shao frowned. The sages and sages that his concubine had read since childhood had never read the art of war, so when he brought him, he didn't expect him to help on the battlefield, he just didn't want to be separated from him. Seeing that he kept his eyes closed and was about to help, he saw a long and lustrous hand grab a wooden stick on a simple sand table and drew a fork on the sand.
"Master, what is this?" Zhao Meng looked at the cross drawn by Mu Hanzhang, wondering why.
Seeing this symbol, Jing Shao suddenly widened his eyes.
"This formation is called Chong Yoke," Mu Hanzhang said slowly, pointing the wooden stick to the four corners of the fork, "The soldiers stand in four corners, still marching with long snakes, front, left, and right are all frontal, both offensive and defensive. "
"Miao, wonderful!" You Hujun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted with his palms.
Zhao Meng excitedly scrutinized the fork for a long time: "The strategist is indeed very knowledgeable, and Zhao admires it!"
Mu Hanzhang smiled but said nothing.
"I already told you to read more, but I didn't listen." Jing Shao also knew about this yoke formation, but there was no record in ordinary military books. How did Jun Qing, who never read military books, know about it? Shocked in his heart, but with a natural expression on his face, Jing Shao pulled over his military advisor and said, "Tomorrow, the military advisor and I are going to do something nearby. You lead the troops first, and we will catch up in a few days."
"What is your lord going to do?" Zhao Meng looked at Jing Shao disapprovingly. It was not a good thing for the general to leave without authorization during the march.
"This matter is very important to the battle of the Southwest. You have been taking care of it for the past few days, so there will be no trouble." Jing Shao let out a haha, obviously not wanting to talk more, and a few people also shut up wisely.
After getting out of the tent, Mu Hanzhang asked suspiciously, "Where are you going tomorrow?"
"Look for a secret treasure." Jing Shao curled his lips and smiled mysteriously.
Mu Hanzhang glanced at him, turned and walked towards his tent, and the prince behind him consciously followed.
"Why did you come in here again?" Mu Hanzhang reluctantly looked at the guy who was lying on his bed and wouldn't leave. Since the counselor's tent was set up next to the king's tent, this man has never slept in the king's tent. Running in, now it's blatantly clinging to it.
"I'll go back later," Jing Shao took the hand of the person in front of him and dragged him into his arms, "I really have something to ask you about."
Mu Hanzhang rolled his eyes, who would hold the military advisor in his arms to talk about serious business
Seeing his expression, Jing Shao couldn't help but leaned in and kissed: "Have you read the military book? This yoke formation is not something that is found in the "Dachen Regulations"."
Mu Hanzhang listened to him ask this, and the smile on his face gradually faded: "I read the military book when I was young." Book. At that time, seeing the arrogant son of the first son, he was arrogant and ignorant, and often made his father sigh. It was only when he was older that he realized that the concubine could not hold the title at all. Even if he was ten or twenty times stronger than Mu Lingbao, his father would never treat them equally.
When Jing Shao heard this, he only felt sore in his heart, and the pearl was covered in dust. What kind of regret is this
"Actually, I saw you when I was a child." Feeling Jingshao's arms gradually tightening, Mu Hanzhang smiled and put his chin on his shoulder. At that time, the emperor went to Beiweihou's mansion to play chess with his father and brought Xiao Xiao together with the three princes. The mother-in-law only allowed Mu Lingbao to play with Jingshao alone. He wanted to see what the prince looked like, but he was not allowed to go there, so he could only hide behind the rockery and watch them play in the garden.
"Really? I don't even remember it." Jing Shao scratched his head. It had been more than 20 years for him to remember these things. He couldn't help but regret it. He was very curious about what Jun Qing was when he was a child. like? It must be white and tender, with a pair of big eyes that are as clear and clear as pearls. "What did I do then?"
"You..." Mu Hanzhang recalled his childhood and couldn't help laughing softly, "You want Mu Lingbao to be a horse and ride for you, but he refuses, so you beat him to tears. He cried, but you still Put a rose on his head and say he is a little girl, you will know how to cry, and you will get married if you put a flower."
"Hehehe..." Jing Shao couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard the words. He didn't expect Jun Qing to remember the scene so clearly when he was a child, "It seems that you wanted me to be your husband when you were a child, so come to see each other in a hurry."
Mu Hanzhang blushed at his words, got up and drove him back to the king's tent. Jing Shao had to go back to the king's tent to take a bath first, and then quietly walked into the counselor's tent after the candle was extinguished.
The next day, Jing Shao woke up the person in his arms early, took advantage of the dawn, took his princess to ride Xiao Hei, and ran towards the distant mountains.
Mu Hanzhang looked helplessly at the prince who was like a deserter, leaned in his arms and yawned: "Where are we going?"
"Shanxia Village." Jing Shao replied.
Shanxia Village is a village at the foot of Dahang Mountain. It is said to be a village, but it is actually a small town. Because it is easy to walk at the foot of the mountain, it spontaneously forms a market town. People from the surrounding mountain villages often come here to sell some rare mountain prey, and also buy some things here.
Today is a double day, it is the market, the only street is very lively.
"Tiger skin, the best tiger skin! The gorgeous tiger on Ziyun Mountain has excellent leather!" Some hunters were selling tiger skins on the street, attracting many onlookers.
"You are really good at killing a tiger!" Someone praised.
"That's right, the tiger was catching a rabbit and running into the tiger's cave, and I shot him in the eye with an arrow..." The hunter spit out and boasted of his bravery.
"The tigress returned to the nest with food, this is because there is a tiger to feed, it's a sin!" The old woman with the bamboo basket on her back heard this, sighed and shook her head and left.
Hearing this, Mu Hanzhang couldn't help frowning: "Young son He Gu..."
Jing Shao, who was looking at the tiger's skin with great interest, heard the sighs of the people around him. Knowing that he was moved with compassion, he said to the hunter, "Do you remember where the tiger's den is?"
"I remember," Orion rolled his eyes, "but there is no road, it's all woods, and I can't find anyone except me."
Jing Shao took out a piece of broken silver: "You bring me the tiger cubs in the nest. This is the deposit. I will be here in two days. If the matter is successful, I will give you ten times the silver."
"Really!" Orion took the piece of silver and was overjoyed, "Young master, don't worry, wrap it on me!"
"It's just a beast, sympathize with those people!" The butcher in the shop opposite snorted, raised the big knife in his hand, and chopped pork on the wooden pier.
Seeing Jing Shao's actions, Mu Hanzhang rejoiced in his heart, and when he heard the butcher's words, he frowned, turned to the butcher and said, "Young son in the nest, if you don't save him, he will starve to death."
"Hmph, if you pity your young son," the butcher raised the pork in his hand, "you will cry over this suckling pork when you eat it!"
When Jing Shao heard the words, he turned to look, and saw the strong man with only a shawl on his body and raised a piece of pork in his hand.
This person is exactly the purpose of his trip, the descendant of the former general, the fierce general that Jing Shao acquired by chance in Hongzheng 20 years ago, Hao Dadao!
"You don't recognize such big characters!" The butcher patted the big plaque hanging on the pork stall with the butcher's knife in his hand.
Mu Hanzhang looked down the butcher's knife, and on it was written the words "Haoji Butcher's Shop" with Dou Da's words! Looking at Jing Shao, whose mouth was twitching, he couldn't help laughing.
"Let you chop some meat, where are you talking about not working?" At this moment, a girl full of energy came from the room, and not long after, a strong woman walked away with a meat bowl When he came out, he threw it in front of Hao Da Dao with a bang, "Cut it quickly. After cutting, chop these into pieces, Father Li is waiting for you!"
"Hey." The butcher, who was still very irritable just now, just replied in a low voice, and then he lowered his head and chopped the pork honestly.
