Great Tang princess

Chapter 204 It's Coming After All

The next morning, Li Yuechen did not go to practice with Geng Yunqiang and others, but practiced in the yard of the post house by himself.

Fulai was very clear about her practice time, so when the practice was about to finish, she had already made a cup of tea early and waited beside her with a towel.

At the same time, let those maidservants boil water for His Highness to take a bath later.

Li Yuechen took his Fang Tian painting halberd, which was one foot long and weighed more than forty kilograms, and swung it vigorously in the courtyard.

With the movement of her footwork, the halberd seemed to have life in her hands, constantly cutting through the air, rolling and shaking.

In fact, the martial arts of this era have not yet developed to the point of being fancy in the future, and there is almost no aesthetic feeling in the movements.

But Li Yuechen's weapon itself has a strong visual impact, so it seems to have a completely different sense of oppression.

According to Liu Rengui, there are generally two types of martial arts in this era, Zongmen and Jiangmen.

Li Yuechen practiced general martial arts, and the main hostile targets were people.

Zongmen martial arts are practiced by people who practice in Taoist temples or temples in the deep mountains. The main hostile targets are wild animals.

After a while, after practicing the halberd, Li Yuechen picked up the pair of hammers and began to practice again.

At this moment, Liu Rengui walked in from the outside.

Li Yuechen continued to practice as if he didn't see it, Liu Rengui didn't say anything, but came to stand beside Fulai with a smile on his face, waiting for her to finish practicing.

At the same time, looking at the pair of hammers flying up and down in her hand, she couldn't help shaking her head with a sigh.

Every time he saw this scene, Liu Rengui, as a master, felt the greatest shock in his heart.

I really can't figure it out, such a heavy hammer can really be used as a weapon. Is this apprentice still a human?

……

After about half an hour, Li Yuechen finally stopped what he was doing and let out a sigh of relief.

Wei Wei let go, and the two hammers fell to the ground with a muffled "boom".

In an instant, two small holes were smashed out of the already compacted ground.

"Master is here."

Li Yuechen said hello, took the towel in Fulai's hand, wiped his sweat, took a sip of the tea that was brewed next to him, and then spit it out.

"Well," Liu Rengui nodded, "how about lunch today, Your Highness and the old man?"

"Okay!" Li Yuechen agreed, "Master, please stay alone for a while, I'll take a shower first."

"Your Highness, after washing, just come directly to camp for the teacher!" Liu Rengui said, then turned and left.

Li Yuechen agreed, and hurried back to the room to take a shower.

Soaking in the steaming tub, Li Yuechen stretched his waist. At the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable thinking that there were no strange herbs in this tub.

It's a pity that only the palace can supply those things, so I didn't bring any with me when I went out this time.

After taking a shower, he wiped his hair half dry, wrapped it in a towel and went to the military camp.

No way, it’s okay to not have a hair dryer these days, and you can’t have short hair, so it’s a huge trouble to dry your hair.

It's also thanks to her being a royal princess. You must know that among the people, there are many people who only wash their hair once a year.

Washing like her almost every day is really a luxury that I can't even imagine.

Even a queen like Wu Zetian usually washes her hair only once every two or three days.

When I came to the master's camp, I saw him kneeling behind the table and looking at the court record that I gave him yesterday.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming in like a big-headed baby with a towel wrapped around his head, Liu Rengui smiled and said, "What does Your Highness think about this?"

"I think it's quite right." Li Yuechen sat on the table next to him, crossing his legs, "Nowadays, the generals of the Tang Dynasty, if they come from the family, it's okay, but there are also some generals who spelled themselves out. , I can’t read a big character. Not to mention those low-level military officers, nine out of ten are illiterate.”

Liu Rengui shook his head: "The reason His Highness said has existed since ancient times. But in the final analysis, it is because of the frequent defeats against Tubo in recent years..."

He didn't say the latter words, but Li Yuechen could understand.

It is nothing more than because the emperor was very unhappy about these things, so he is very dissatisfied with this matter!

The emperor is unhappy, so naturally the people below should not be happy either.

"Then the master's intention?" Li Yuechen asked.

"This year's battle, we must not disappoint the sage anymore, we must fight with my Tang Dynasty's prestige." Liu Rengui said.

Li Yuechen nodded in agreement: "Yes, at least this border land should be stable for a few years."

Although he has the idea of ​​destroying the Tubo royal family and completely merging it into the Tang Dynasty, this cannot be achieved in a day or two.

It is really difficult to fight up the Tubo Plateau, at least not in this era.

Li Yuechen also knew that things should not be too idealistic, but should be done step by step.

Liu Rengui suddenly took out a map: "Recently, I have been sending scouts into Tibet to detect its movements, and I feel that the other party has a tendency to move north..."

Looking at the direction of his finger on the map, Li Yuechen asked: "Master's intention is that they want to invade Hezhou?"

"At least it seems so." Liu Rengui picked up his teacup, "But it takes time to deliver the message, and there may be errors..."

Li Yuechen didn't know much about the speed at which scouts delivered messages, and he wasn't too good at putting forward his own opinions. He just listened to what Master was saying and followed suit.

Seeing noon, the master and the apprentice also talked while eating. Li Yuechen listened to the master's explanation while gnawing on the mustache, and had a general understanding of the current battle situation between the two sides.

If Tubo can't get the supplies this year, if there is no harvest, it will be really hard.

The move to the north of this matter should also have been informed by Master Liu Rengui here, knowing that he is not easy to mess with, so he wants to try to attack other places.

Of course, this is just Li Yuechen's own guess, and the specifics are based on Master's own guess.

Liu Rengui took a bite of the mustache in his hand: "Lun Qinling is definitely not an ordinary character, this move is not because I'm afraid of me. It's just to minimize the loss."

Li Yuechen next to him took a sip of tea: "Since we are not sure whether he is going to attack Hezhou, should we take the initiative to intercept him?"

Hearing her suggestion, Liu Rengui shook his head lightly: "It may not be feasible, and it is not yet certain whether this is the main force of Qinling."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Then wait a little longer?"

"Yeah!" Liu Rengui nodded, pointed at the map with his teacup, "No matter what, the troops of 50,000 people are being watched now. As long as there is a big move, there is absolutely no way to hide it from us!"

Listening to Master's analysis, Li Yuechen nodded to show that he understood, but he still felt that he was different from the impression in his heart.

In fact, she had inquired about the master's various achievements before, and always thought that he should be the kind of person who likes to fight against the enemy with thunder.

But after hearing such an analysis today, I realized that Master is actually a steady player.

……

The master and apprentice analyzed the situation in the barracks. Of course, it was actually Liu Rengui who spoke and Li Yuechen who listened.

Whether it is reading military books or playing sand table deduction, it is not as good as actually learning through practice on the battlefield.

Li Yuechen, on the other hand, was thinking with another way of thinking, even if there were no guns in this era, could the war be won by using some future tactical thinking?
For example, there is a military term in the future: decapitation!

To put it bluntly, it is to capture the thief first, and the king first, and the snake to hit seven inches.

In the war of this era, in order to ensure morale, the generals are all dressed up very conspicuously, and they can be recognized at a glance.

If there is a specially trained special force, even if it does not have firearms, can it perform such tasks?

To be honest, Li Yuechen doesn't think that everything in the future can crush this era.

But military thinking will always change with the environment, if in the future I can train a special force that fits this era...

Of course, this is just thinking about it at the moment, and it's not time to start doing it right away.

……

"Speaking of which, the weather is getting warmer now, and it's almost time to start." Liu Ren said, "His Royal Highness needs to make preparations for possible departure in the next few days."

"Master, don't worry, you can leave at any time." Li Yuechen smiled, "I have always had a regular schedule."

"Yeah!" Liu Rengui nodded very satisfied.

He believes that this apprentice has no problem with his training. The only thing that is still lacking may be practice.

According to Liu Rengui's original plan, if the princess didn't plan to come over this year, he would let Li Jingxuan take his place and go back.

But now that the princess is here, it's the first time she is on the battlefield, and as a master, I have to support her.

It just happened to be able to take this opportunity to give her some pointers, tell her the mistakes she made in practice and so on.

This is also a good opportunity.

……

When Li Yuechen came out of the camp, his hair was completely dry, and when the wind blew it around his head, it would rise high.

Li Yuechen, who was planning to tie it up, suddenly remembered that there were no rubber bands in this era, and his hair had to be tied.

As a princess, she has never tied her hair by herself since she was born, so let the maidservant come after she returns.

After returning to the post house to tie up his hair, Li Yuechen asked Fu Lai to grind the ink, and sat at the table by himself to write a reply to his family.

Master made himself ready to fight at any time, once the fight started, he would not know when he would go, so it is better to write a letter to the family first.

He replied letter by letter to his family members, and then he also replied to Shangguan Wan'er.

Everyone said something different, especially to Mom and Dad, telling them that they really did miss them three times a day.

When the few letters were finished, it was almost evening.

Although there is no Fangshi system in Taozhou, the nightlife is far less abundant than Chang'an and Dongdu.

People here basically go home as soon as the sun goes down and prepare to rest and sleep. Many families with poor conditions can't even afford to light candles.

Maybe after nightfall, only some entertainment venues can still emit some light.

Li Yuechen also went to bed early, adhering to his own healthy routine.

After getting up the next day and finishing yoga, he asked Fulai to send a few letters, then stood there and stretched, his body made a crackling sound.

Although Li Yuechen is only 13 years old now, his height has exceeded 1.6 meters. Among women in this era, he is no longer considered short.

Among other things, Fulai is only about 1.6 meters. Standing beside Li Yuechen now, although he is indeed taller, he has already begun to be overwhelmed.

Besides, Li Yuechen has slender limbs and a well-proportioned figure. Even if she is a little shorter than him, as long as the two of them don't get too close, she still looks taller visually.

He was about to go to Geng Yunqiang and others to do some actual combat training, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Especially when I stretched just now, I always felt that some changes had taken place in my body.

It felt like... Li Yuechen suddenly turned around and sprinted back into the house at an extremely fast speed.

Fu Lai, who was about to go out to send someone to deliver the letter, turned around and came to the door of the room with a curious expression on his face: "Your Highness, what happened?"

"Wait a minute, let me take a look first." Li Yuechen's voice came from the room.

Fulai agreed, and stood at the door waiting.

In less than thirty seconds, Li Yuechen's voice sounded in the room, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Go and get me a new pair of underwear, and a sanitary napkin..."

Fulai was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed, and then went to another room to look for things.

After finding it, hand it over to the maid next to her to send it in.

Li Yuechen in the room looked helplessly at the roof and sighed slightly, this day has finally come...

But then I thought of another question. I heard that women are prone to stomach pains at such times. What if I suddenly have stomach pains when I go to the battlefield?

Li Yuechen raised his hand and touched his lower abdomen, but he didn't feel any discomfort at the moment.

I don't know how painful it is when my stomach hurts, can I bear it?

While curious, I recalled some of the knowledge I read on the Internet before. At that time, it was all over with a casual glance. I should have remembered it if I knew it!

After taking care of everything, Li Yuechen walked out of the room, moving his legs a little uncomfortably.

Fulai next to him said, "Is your Highness alright?"

"Ah, it's okay." Li Yuechen nodded, wondering if he should get some brown sugar ginger water to drink?

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that you only drink it when you have a stomachache. Now that you don't have a stomachache, you don't need it for now.

After all, it is better to be more or less cautious when it comes to matters involving physical problems.

But if it is beneficial, maybe you can try it, right?
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help but get a little tangled up.

Seeing her complicated dazed expression, Fulai next to her asked cautiously: "Then Your Highness, this servant is going to send someone to deliver the letter."

"Go, go..." Li Yuechen waved his hands like chasing flies.

Fulai raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, His Highness is also a woman, and would be very irritable at such a time.

So he quickly and respectfully agreed, turned around and left.

At the same time, I was thinking in my heart that I must not make His Highness unhappy these few days...
