Chapter 83 The glorious moment of the shepherdess (2)
Gesang naturally cheered and turned to the poor shepherds who had family members and said happily: "I said that you can definitely live in my tribe. Even though those officials of the Tang Dynasty like to have a stern face, they are actually very kind in their hearts!"
The shepherds who were reborn were naturally grateful.
Only one of the oldest sloppy old men asked worriedly: "The noble and beautiful Chief Gesang, we are grateful for your ability to take us in. But what if the chief of our original tribe brought us here and took us back?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a group of herders showed signs of worry.
It turns out that the tribe's life is in a difficult situation, and if they are taken back, they will definitely have to bear the chief's anger.
Gesang put his hands on his hips and said without caring: "Don't worry, no one can take you away from me. You saw the Tang Dynasty official just now, right? He doesn't have the status of a noble person, he will protect us!
"In the past, no one came to ask for people, but no one dared to make trouble in front of Tang Jun. You can stay with peace of mind. I will ask someone to arrange a tent for you. From tomorrow, you will follow me to graze!"
Seeing Gesang so confident, the shepherds were all very calm.
When Gesang saw them celebrating each other excitedly, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes.
She used to be like these people, not having enough food or clothing, and was oppressed by the large tribe. She lived a hard life, and many times, even her chief could not protect herself.
It’s different now. She herself is the chief. The tribe is much larger than the tribe she was when she was a child. She has the ability to protect others!
When she saw that others were as troubled as she was when she was a child, Gesang would not help but feel sore in her nose. As long as the other party was willing, she would bring them back to her tribe and let them drink spicy food with her.
Such things can give Gesang the purest and most satisfying happiness.
Oh, by the way, there are those lambs and old cows. It is also a worrying thing to see that they are not full and thin. They must also be fat and strong.
Thinking of this, Gesang felt that he was responsible and full of energy. He clenched his fists and said to himself: Gesang, it seems that he will continue to work hard tomorrow and take everyone to herd!
Just as Zhang Changan was about to go back to his tent, Chu Zheng came out from somewhere, with a malicious smile on his face, "I saw the legendary shepherd girl, it's really beautiful. Look at her obedient appearance to you, tell me, are there any secrets between you?"
Zhang Changan rolled his eyes and said, "As you obey? Where did you see that? It's almost the same for me to obey her!"
Chu Zheng whistled exaggeratedly, "Young Master Zhang, it turns out that you are also a lover who is sad to be a beauty. You are disrespectful."
The two returned to Zhang Chang'an's tent together, and Chu Zheng urged the other party to take out the good wine, "With guarding such a rich tribe, you are not the only one who is rich, you must be rich. Unlike me, a poor and rough man in the army, who has no strength. Hurry up and take out the best wine, I will rob the rich and help the poor today!"
Zhang Changan naturally spared no effort to entertain his best brother. Although he was not corrupt and abused, he was indeed not short of good things when he was working in a wealthy place.
The two of them had endless things to say while eating and chatting.
Finally, Chu Zheng burped and suddenly asked Zhang Changan seriously: "I said, you won't really marry that shepherd girl, are you?"
Zhang Changan laughed and scolded: "Are you fooled by beauty and moved the thief? I am not as unreliable as you!"
When Chu Zheng heard Zhang Changan say this, he sighed relieved, "That's good. Although the shepherd girl looks great, she is just a grassland woman after all. A real man must make a difference in the world. If he doesn't marry her, he will not be beneficial to your future. At least he will not be able to overcome this hurdle of being a good match.
"To be honest, I went back to Chang'an to report my work a few days ago and met your grandfather. He said that you are at the age of getting married, so this matter cannot be delayed. I have already found a good woman for you in Chang'an, who is the daughter of the Left Minister of War!"
Zhang Changan was stunned, "You are not serious, are you?"
Chu Zheng curled his lips, "I have brought everyone, can it be fake?"
Zhang Changan felt his scalp numb. In fact, he had received his grandfather's letter, and he mentioned it in it, but he didn't care. How could the daughter of the Minister of War marry him? The status of the two parties was a little far apart.
Unexpectedly, everyone is coming now!
Seeing Zhang Chang'an's cramped look, Chu Zheng laughed and said, "I'm not here to meet you specifically. She is a talented woman from Xianyaofang. This time she is responsible for improving the physique of the war horse. But then again, although she is not as good as that shepherd's woman, she is not bad. You will never suffer any loss if you marry her."
At the next hour, three thousand best war horses were driven to the military camp, and these were the first batch of people to be fed with elixirs. Chu Zheng and Zhang Changan followed their respective chief officials to watch the grand occasion.
"I saw that, it was the one in the leader, yes, the one with a tall and arrogant look on her face. Don't look at her cold expression, this is really not a pride. I heard that she focuses on the way of elixirs and does not care much about things outside, so she looks like this." Chu Zheng introduced to Zhang Changan with great enthusiasm.
Zhang Changan observed carefully for a while and admitted that the other party was indeed a beauty, but he didn't have any special feelings.
However, it is not important whether the parties involved have any initial feelings about family marriage.
After more than half an hour, each horse was fed with pills. Chu Zheng and his soldiers drove them out of the camp and went out of the field to judge the effect.
This time it took seven days.
Seven days later, Chu Zheng returned with his herd of war horses.
When Zhang Changan saw these war horses again, he couldn't help but look frightened.
Although the appearance of these war horses has not changed much, their fur is red. He keenly noticed that these war horses not only have fierce eyes, but also have a strong aura, and their bodies have a fluctuation of spiritual energy equivalent to a level of cultivator training!
Zhang Changan initially estimated that the group of war horses in front of him would be no problem traveling 500 miles a day, and the threat to them by ordinary swords and arrows is no longer great. These war horses now not only have domineering eyes, but also have a hidden light of wisdom, and obviously their wisdom has also improved a lot.
After reporting the situation to the general of the army, Chu Zheng drove the horses into a separate stable to guard the horses. After busy for a long time, when he found Zhang Chang'an in the evening, he explained the effect of this experiment to him.
"A half of the war horses could not stand the effect, they died of bleeding from their seven orifices, and half of them were crazy, rushing around in the wild, and they were hunted by us. The remaining 90% have been initially confirmed to be available.
"Of course, this is the result of Xianyaofang's continuous improvement of elixirs. And this is just the first batch of elixirs, and the medicinal properties are also the mildest. In the future, there are still several batches of elixirs to be fed to continuously improve their strength. In the end, how many real ferocious beasts and war horses can be achieved depends on their respective luck.
"However, according to the plan of Xianyaofang, the subsequent elixir will not be fed to each war horse, and will only choose the best. After all, having the physical strength equivalent to the Qi training level will meet the minimum needs of the equipment army."
Zhang Changan nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and finally asked urgently: "How many such pills have the Xianyaofang refined, and how many war horses can they feed?"
If this number is huge, then the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will be invincible, scattered all over the world and fought to the horizon.
Chu Zheng heard what Zhang Changan meant and shook his head and said, "It's not as much as you imagined. This is a very resource-consuming thing. Now the elixir stock in Xianyaofang is enough to gather 30,000 war horses. This is why you only prepare 30,000 war horses."
There are not many 30,000 war horses at all. In Zhang Chang'an's opinion, it is too few, and even the Wolf-Tooth Army cannot be equipped.
Chu Zheng continued: "But the future is promising. As long as this batch of elixirs is proven to be fed to war horses on a large scale, there will be no problem with the training and exercises afterwards. Then as long as the dynasty concentrates resources, at least 100,000 war horses can become ferocious beasts and war horses within two years!
"If Xianyaofang can increase its production during this period, or make another breakthrough, it is not impossible for 200,000 yuan. At that time, the dynasty will surely prosper!"
Zhang Changan could see that Chu Zheng was confident and passionate. Isn’t that the same? If there were indeed 200,000 ferocious beasts and horse equipment in the Qi Refining Stage, and combined with the army of pure monks, the Tang Dynasty’s elite cavalry would become another level of existence.
"How is the situation in the Western Regions now? I have been on the grassland for a long time, far away from the center, and a lot of news is very closed. You are under General Shangguan and have gained her trust. You should know a lot of things." Zhang Changan asked thoughtfully.
Chu Zheng's eyes were deep, "The two towns of Yanqi and Kucha have been stable, and the Kingdom of Khotan also expressed his surrender to the court and was willing to rebuild the town of Khotan. However, in recent years, the monks and the elite cavalry of the Black Khanate have had many conflicts with the Anxi Protectorate, and it is said that many people will die every month.
"This is just on the surface. In the secret, Qingyi Yamen, Wukong Shimen, and Taoist Sect also act frequently in the Western Regions. They compete with the people of the Crescent Sect everywhere, bleeding a lot, and they should have big plans and arrangements. To talk about the situation in the Western Regions, the accurate description should be: a storm is about to come and the wind is everywhere!"
When Zhang Changan heard this, he was not only not worried, but was eager to fight. "When will the dynasty go on a large scale? I have been in the grassland for so long and want to return to the army and charge again!"
Chu Zheng glanced at him and laughed and said, "You are now a different leader in the Grassland State. You are a civil servant. What's going on in the battlefield has to do with you? Don't look at me like this, it's useless to see me. Although I have the trust of General Shangguan, General Shangguan himself is a general in the army. Now it's not in wartime, so I have no right to mobilize you.
"If you want to return to the army, either go and see Your Majesty yourself-of course, this is not very feasible; or, only the Ministry of War can do some effort from it."
Seeing that Chu Zheng was about to lead the topic to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Chang'an's face suddenly turned dark.
