Chapter 32 Set off with the army

Zhao Xinghe said: "Bring it up."

Shen Ding and several sergeants carried several large baskets. "What are these?" Everyone whispered. Shen Ding put down the basket, took out a bunch of copper coins, and gave it to the helping sergeant: "Thank you for your hard work, buy a cup of tea." "The sergeants happily took it and left.

Zhao Xinghe said: "Line up, each person has two sandbags and tie them to their legs."

Everyone lined up, and the one who got it first said: "It won't sink, only half a catty at most."

Everyone felt relieved. So one person and two people were tied up.

Zhao Xinghe also tied up two of them. "Let's go."

A group of veterans, led by Zhao Xinghe, began to circle around the training ground. After walking five times, Zhao Xinghe said: "Rest." Everyone sat on the ground at once, "This thing doesn't look heavy. , walking is not light."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Everyone has worked hard today. I treat everyone to a delicious meal."

Everyone was immediately happy: "What's delicious?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Walk five more times and then eat."

Everyone worked hard and walked five more laps. Everyone collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.

"Hey, you are so tired after walking a few steps, why are you going to the battlefield?" Some other soldiers laughed at them.

The veterans cursed angrily. Zhao Xinghe laughed: "Only on the battlefield can you see the truth, why are you trying to use words?"

While everyone was chatting, suddenly a burst of fragrance wafted over. "What's so fragrant?" Everyone stopped talking and looked around. Shen Ding came over with two sergeants carrying a large bucket.

"It's meat, it's meat!" someone shouted.

Even people from other camps looked over.

"Why do they eat meat and we don't?" someone yelled angrily.

The veterans didn't have to say anything this time and just lined up.

Zhao Xinghe asked: "Have you delivered all the things I asked you to deliver?"

Shen Ding said: "Commander, Vice-General Lin, and Vice-General Zhang have all been sent away."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Okay, share the meat."

Everyone was in great spirits. Everyone shared a bowl of meat and devoured it hungrily.

"Oh my god, how long have we not eaten meat?" Everyone was happy. People in other camps ran to find their lieutenant, "Why do they have meat to eat? We don't? This is not fair."

Lieutenant General Lin and Lieutenant General Zhang said: "The two of us only have one bowl each, and we don't have much."

Everyone started making noise.

Liu Zhihe yelled angrily: "Get back here, everyone."

Everyone had to go back.

Liu Zhihe was so angry that he furiously said, "He can't let people live anymore? His family doesn't care about such a way of spending money? This dude! This annoying dude!"

After practicing for more than ten days in a row, the sandbag increased from half a catty to one catty, and then stopped growing again.

Everyone asked: "Are we going to practice new events?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "We are going to practice weapons."

Everyone laughed: "We are all veterans, don't we even know how to use weapons?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Bring it up."

Everyone laughed: "What are you getting? Is it meat? We haven't eaten enough."

Zhao Xinghe said: "This is more valuable than meat.'

Everyone is curious: "What is it?"

I saw Shen Ding leading a few more sergeants and carrying several large baskets. "Yeah, it's a knife."

Zhao Xinghe asked Shen Ding: "Have you given one to the commander-in-chief?"

Shen Ding said: "I went there in person just now."

Zhao Xinghe nodded, turned around and said to everyone: "This is a sharp knife made by the weapons factory at my own expense. If you are in our camp, this knife is yours to use. If you leave or retire, you cannot take this knife with you."

Everyone said: "I know." "This makes sense." "Hurry up and share it."

Everyone here is happily sharing the sharp knives.

Over there, Liu Zhihe was looking at the new knife sent by Shen Ding. "This guy is quite interesting. He can actually hit such a good thing."

His personal guard said: "I'm afraid this knife is not cheap." Another said: "It would be great if each of us had one."

"What?" Liu Zhihe almost dropped the knife to the ground, "A knife like this is for each person? Is he crazy? How much does it cost? This dude, this annoying dude."

After everyone divided the knives, they were all very happy, "With such a sharp weapon, no one is afraid of it."

Zhao Xinghe said: "I will start learning sword skills today."

Everyone was stunned: "Will you teach us?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "I only know how to do simple things. I can only teach you a few tricks."

Everyone cheered: "Oh my God, there is also swordsmanship. Let's just not get old."

The sergeants in other camps nearby all gnashed their teeth in hatred, "Why do they have everything? It's not fair."

Here, people have already lined up and started learning sword skills.

Someone asked: "Should we avoid them?" He pointed to the sergeants next to him.

Zhao Xinghe said: "That's not necessary. They are all from the same military camp. Just take a look."

Just think about it, everyone.

After practicing swordsmanship for a day, everyone was very excited. "Do you want to hand in this sword?" someone asked.

Zhao Xinghe said: "No, you can take your own sword. Didn't I say, unless you leave our camp, the sword will be yours."

Everyone was relieved and went back to rest happily.

Zhao Xinghe quietly asked Shen Ding: "I bought so many knives, isn't Weiwei angry?"

Shen Ding also whispered: "The Crown Princess gave me another 20,000 yuan in silver notes and said it was not enough, so I would go home and get it."

Zhao Xinghe immediately became happy.

After three months of continuous military training, the veterans were all full of energy and glowing faces.

Liu Zhihe felt uncomfortable looking at it.

At this time, someone sent a battle report, "There is a rebellion in southern Hunan. The king of southern Hunan has gathered soldiers and horses from northern and western Hunan to fight all the way, and has captured two cities. The defenders of both cities have died in the battle. Now the rebels are marching all the way north, and the emperor has ordered the garrison In the west, go south to fight the enemy. We must stop the rebel offensive. The emperor also ordered the northern garrison to go north to protect the capital. We and the east will stay on standby."

The battle report quickly spread throughout the military camp, and everyone was ready to prepare.

Battle reports began to come in every day. The western garrison reached Xiangbei. The northern garrison reached the suburbs of Beijing. The western garrison encountered the rebels. The two sides fought fiercely for three days, and the western garrison suffered heavy casualties.

Each battle report touches everyone's heart.

Zhao Xinghe said to Shen Ding: "We may set out to suppress the rebellion soon. You go home and tell Weiwei."

Shen Ding immediately returned to the palace. At night, he brought back two large bundles.

Zhao Xinghe asked: "Did Weiwei make clothes for me?"

Shen Ding leaned into his ear and said, "Don't tell anyone, it's all medicine. If those people know there are so many of us, they will have to eat me."

Zhao Xinghe sighed longly: "Others who are officials only take money from home, but I only know how to spend money."

Shen Ding said: "The Crown Princess knew you would think so. She asked me to tell you that she only wants you to be safe. She also said that those soldiers also have wives, and they also want their husbands to be safe, so they must bring more medicine for wounds. This Well worth the money spent.”

Zhao Xinghe sighed and said, "Weiwei really knows my heart."

Sure enough, the battle report came three days later. The western garrison was defeated and the troops retreated fifty miles to wait for rescue.

The emperor ordered to garrison the southern part and the eastern part of the garrison, and support the western part of the garrison from the east and west sides. We must defeat the rebels and prevent them from moving north.

Zhao Xinghe took his troops and set out with the large team.

Shen Ding carried two big baggage on his back and followed Zhao Xinghe on horseback.

Lieutenant General Lin smiled and said: "Hey, what a big baggage, how many clothes are packed in it." Everyone laughed. The veterans all glared at it.

Vice General Lin touched his nose and said, "It was just a joke."

Zhao Xinghe said nothing, and Shen Ding also looked calm, but his hands holding the reins were sweating.

Marched for three days. The army was stationed.

Everyone was tired and had backaches. But the veterans felt fine.

"Have we all become stronger after drinking the medicinal soup?"

"Maybe because I can eat meat often, my health has improved."

"Oh, eating big cakes every day makes me want to eat meat."

Everyone laughed. "It will be good if we have bread to eat during the war."

"That's true."

Everyone was talking a lot.

After marching for another five days, spies from the front reported back that there was enemy information fifty miles away.
