The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 868 Worry
Back in Boni City, before Su Yunduo settled the children down, he got an extremely unexpected news.

Something happened on the northwestern border of Dongling Country!

"The Cambodian Eagle Kingdom is going to war with us? Do you need the support of the Northern Army?" Su Yunduo's brows raised involuntarily, and he asked two casual questions, each of which was directly focused.

It was Chunlei, one of Lu Jinkang's personal guards who passed the news back to the Marshal's Mansion, and basically answered Su Yunduo's questions.

However, at present, northern Xinjiang has only received news that the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom has broken the border peace treaty and started war against the Dongling Kingdom, and the specific situation is still unclear.

However, Lu Jinkang strengthened the defense of Boni City, strictly controlled the entry and exit of several major gates of Boni City, and focused on strengthening the defense forces for the post house where Ulie and Naya temporarily lived and the other courtyard where Gun Dors was imprisoned. Started various preparations to support the Northwest Frontier.

The forbidden army led by Ning Zhongping just received the order of the Holy Majesty a few days ago. When the new peace mission mission sent by Beichen Kingdom arrives in Boni City, as long as Uriel's injury allows him to travel long distances, this forbidden army will turn into the welcome of Dongling Kingdom. The escort team of the Beichen Kingdom Peace Mission Mission, escorting the Beichen Kingdom Peace Mission Mission and escorting Gun Dors to Beijing.

Fighting has erupted on the northwest border, and the situation seems to be quite serious.

Since the [-] imperial troops led by Ning Zhongping are in the northern border, which is not far from the northwest border, and it will take time for Beichen Kingdom to reorganize, and it will also take time for Uriel to recover from his injuries, Ning Zhongping had to make two-handed preparations.

These days, Ning Zhongping and Lu Jinkang have conducted joint drills on the terrain of the northwest border with the [-] forbidden army, in order to improve the combat capability of the forbidden border.

It is best that the Northwest Army can withstand it. If support is needed, this Forbidden Army will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the reinforcements.

Chunlei was sent by Lu Jinkang to the Marshal's Mansion not just to spread the news, but also brought Ning Zhongping's request for help. The imperial army needed a group of war horses.

The [-] forbidden troops brought by Ning Zhongping went through the battle with Beichen Kingdom, and the casualties were not large, but the losses of the horses were much greater than the losses of the people. In addition, the horses ridden by the forbidden troops did not know whether it was because they had been in Beijing for a long time. Due to the life in the middle school, the horses have degenerated, and they are far inferior to the war horses produced by Kangyun Ranch in terms of physical strength and impact. This is why the losses of war horses far outweigh the casualties.

Ning Zhongping hoped that he could renew all the war horses in the Kangyun Ranch for the forbidden army he led, but he also understood that even after several expansions, the number of war horses raised every year in the Kangyun Ranch is quite large, but because of the need to send it to the army every year A certain number of war horses, the existing number of war horses in Kangyun Ranch should not be able to satisfy his wish, but Chunlei still sent a message to Su Yunduo, hoping that Su Yunduo could provide war horses for the imperial army with the greatest ability, so he has gone to The capital sent an urgent letter to the Holy Majesty.

Su Yunduo naturally hopes to fulfill Ning Zhongping's wish, but the Kangyun Ranch just sent a batch of war horses to the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Northwest Army a few years ago. Even if the ranch still has a batch of war horses, most of them are underage war horses. The number of adult war horses obtained is quite limited. Naturally, it is impossible to supply nearly ten thousand war horses. Collecting all the adult war horses in the Kangyun Ranch, at most it can only arm the imperial army led by Ning Zhongping.

It's just that in this way, the Kangyun Ranch will not be able to provide horses to the army for at least two years, and the number of cattle, sheep and camels will need to be greatly reduced, which is a great loss for Su Yunduo personally.

However, between the individual and the country, Su Yunduo is still very measured, although the number of war horses she has provided to the military over the years has far exceeded the agreement signed with the imperial court.

The war horses provided by Kangyun Ranch to the military are not only of high quality, but also about [-]% lower in value than the war horses purchased by the imperial court. It can be said that Kangyun Ranch’s price difference over the years has far exceeded the value of the ranch itself.

In other words, Su Yunduo has already bought this pasture at several times the price.

These sages know well in their hearts, and the officials of the household department and the Ministry of war are even more familiar with it. This is also an important reason why the sages have rewarded the town government and Su Yunduo in recent years, and the rewards are getting richer every year. All the pastures between the city and Boni City belonged to the Kangyun Ranch. What they valued was the quality of the horses of the Kangyun Ranch and the ability to breed new horses.

That's right, Kangyun Ranch not only simply raises war horses, but also breeds new breeds of war horses, and has achieved quite good results.

At present, not only are the war horses that are abundant in northern Xinjiang raised, but several new horse breeds have been bred through careful selection of stallions. Among them, there are not only foot horses that are only capable of long-distance trekking, but also super-impact explosive power. The new warhorse, last year even bred a new warhorse with both.

It's just that although there are hundreds of adult horses for this new combination of war horses, the number is too small and it is still in the verification stage, but Su Yunduo has already obtained the latest news from Yang Zhonghe.

During the temporary transfer process due to the war, the speed and endurance of this new breed of war horse have been further verified. It can be said that the new breed of war horse has passed the real test, and recently there have been a series of stallions that have given birth to this breed of horses. Pony, the survival rate of pony is not bad under careful feeding.

Now that the new breed of war horse has passed the performance verification, Su Yunduo immediately discussed with Yang Zhonglai to increase the number of breeds of this new breed of horse.

At that time, Yang Zhonghe laughed and said: "Madam, just rest assured, your subordinates have already ordered that our Kangyun Ranch will raise a large number of the war horses. It's just that the existing hundred war horses, Madam, are you going to keep them for the son, or go to Beijing?" deliver?"

War horses should be fought on the battlefield and sent to Beijing, even the best war horses will be raised and abandoned, why bother? !
Originally, Su Yunduo planned to share the good news with Lu Jinkang after returning to Boni City, and then see what Lu Jinkang meant.

As usual, as long as the Kangyun Ranch has a good horse, even if Su Yunduo is not in the northern border, the Kangyun Ranch will send the horse to the capital as soon as possible and hand it over to Su Yunduo. It was Lu Jinkang.

Lu Jinkang's current war horse was said to be still called Lightning, but it was no longer the Lightning before, even though it was still a dark horse.

Of course, although Su Yunduo's horse is still a white snow without a trace of hair, it is no longer the white horse named Feixue that Lu Jinkang gave her.

The original Feixue had died a few years ago, and now Su Yunduo's horse naturally comes from Kangyun Ranch, which is a slightly different breed from Lu Jinkang's Lightning, but they are still married.

Now that Ning Zhongping needs war horses, Su Yunduo's heart moved, so he simply asked Chunlei to wait for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Lu Jinkang's lieutenant, in which he stated the situation of the new breed of war horses, and directly handed over a hundred new war horses to Lu Jinkang. consider.

As for how many war horses Kangyun Ranch can transfer to Ning Zhongping, Su Yunduo also made a proper explanation in the letter.

Of course, Lu Jinkang knows exactly how many adult horses there are in the Kangyun Ranch. He specially asked Chunlei to take this trip, in fact, to let Su Yunduo know it well. It can be regarded as a relationship between their husband and wife A tacit understanding.

After Chunlei left, Su Yunduo had to calm down to appease Sister Le, who was tearful because she couldn't see Lu Jinkang. They all said that her daughter was her mother's caring little padded jacket, but this little girl in her family was just her father's little girl in his previous life. lover.

Five days after the children returned to Boni City, Lu Jinkang returned to the Marshal's Mansion in a hurry, and only had time to meet his children. The children were taken down contentedly, and then they talked to Su Yunduo while eating, and hurried back to the barracks after they put down their jobs.

Although Lu Jinkang returned to the Marshal's Mansion in a hurry, he also explained several things to Su Yunduo.

The Holy Majesty's urgent order was sent to the army yesterday. Ning Zhong led the [-] forbidden troops, and Lu Jinzhen led the [-] Northern Border Army to the northwest overnight to support the Northwest Army in resisting the invasion of the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom.

Because of the tense fighting on the northwest border, in order to prevent the hidden forces in Beichen from taking advantage of the troubled waters, the northern border also needs to strengthen its defenses. The Holy One ordered Lu Jinkang to postpone his return to the court.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the time it takes for Beichen Kingdom to organize a new mission, and Uriel also needs time to recuperate from his injuries.

According to Lu Jinkang's estimate, even if the situation in the Northwest can be stabilized soon, they will probably have to wait another two or three months before they can set off.

For the postponement of returning to Beijing, Su Yunduo was very happy to hear it, and there was even a voice cheering in his heart, if it could be delayed, it would be best to leave in the hottest July.

In this way, it can not only avoid getting hotter and hotter, the children will suffer less hardship, but also let Brother Huan see the beauty of the grassland where "cattle and sheep appear when the wind blows and the grass moves".

Lu Jinkang also gave Su Lai a piece of news that shocked her. Su Zechen, who followed Chunlei to visit Ning Zhongping in the military camp a few days ago, actually went to the northwest border with Ning Zhongping.

"You, why didn't you stop him!" Su Yunduo was shocked, but naturally anxious and angry, and immediately complained about Lu Jinkang.

Lu Jinkang smiled helplessly and said, "It was only when I received the news from my second brother this morning that I found out that Brother Chen was mixed up with the military medical team and went to the northwest with the army."

Doesn't Su Yunduo know that Lu Jinkang is not to blame for this incident, but she is really worried about Su Zechen's safety. She is the one who brought him to Boni City. If something happens, how should she explain to her parents? It's really worrying of!
"He's about to turn eighteen. Whatever he wants to do, we can stop him wherever we can! I've already sent Chun Yu with a few guards to protect him, and I've also sent letters to my uncle and second brother. Let the minister go to the front line." Lu Jinkang shook Su Yunduo's hand, there was no way for anyone to stop him, and that was all he could do.

During the war, the most lacking in the army is doctors, and Su Zechen's departure can be regarded as making the best of his talents.

Su Yunduo shook her head, what else could she say!

Thinking back to those days when the Northern Border Army was at war with Beichen Kingdom, didn't she also go to the medical tent to help herself?

She can be a female relative, but Su Zechen is a manly man, so why not!

Su Yunduo understands the truth better than anyone else, and he is still worried about Su Zechen in his heart. Although Lu Jinkang has sent Chun Yu and others to protect him, Su Yunduo is still not at ease. After thinking about it, he has to draw the hidden guards from his side and let them rush to the northwest Secretly protect Su Zechen.

At the same time, someone sent a letter to Kangyun Winery, asking Kangyun Winery to send a batch of medical liquor to the Northwest Army for free in the name of Su Zechen. The letter naturally mentioned that Su Zechen was rushing to the Northwest with the reinforcements going to the Northwest from Northern Xinjiang border.

With these words, Zhang Ping'an will naturally take care of this matter.

Although the additional batch of medical liquor caused Su Yunduo to bleed again, it was obviously paving the way for Su Zechen.

Su Zechen was smart and well-educated, but he had no intention of being an official. Su Yunduo had already seen that this kid wanted to become a doctor more.

Su Yunduo once asked Su Zechen once if he planned to open a pharmacy and become a doctor, or to enter the imperial hospital to become an imperial physician.

Maybe Su Zechen used to be young and unstable, and the answers he gave were different every time, so Su Yunduo could only laugh it off.

This time, on the way to Boni City with Su Yunduo, Su Zechen took the initiative to talk to her about his future plans.

Su Zechen, who is already a scholar, plans to fulfill Su Chengzhi's request to him first, take part in the next township examination, and strive to pass the exam.

Then he was recommended by his senior doctor Kong Taiyi to take the examination at the Taiyuan Hospital.

In other words, Su Zechen's ideal is to be an imperial physician.

For Su Zechen's choice, Su Yunduo actually didn't agree very much in his heart.

Although the treatment and status of the imperial physician in Dongling Country is quite good, the risk is also great. Su Zechen's temperament is really not suitable for going around the palace. She is really worried that one day Su Zechen will accidentally offend him. a nobleman.

Su Yunduo had to persuade Su Zechen to think twice, and Su Zechen had listened to Su Yunduo's various concerns. Although he didn't express it clearly, he also told Su Yunduo that he would think carefully.

Based on Su Yunduo's understanding of him, even if he gave up entering the imperial hospital to be an imperial physician, he would not give up being a doctor. Then help him make a name for himself in the medical world first. The real cause of medical liquor.

When Lu Jinkang came back this time, he also brought news about the war horse to Su Yunduo.

The hundred new breed horses were all filled by Lu Jinkang to the top reinforcement battalion led by Ning Zhongping.

In order to maximize the role of the reinforcements, Ning Zhongping will lead the vanguard battalion, which has only a thousand riders after joint drills by Ning Zhongping and Lu Jinkang, one step ahead, and Lu Jinzhen will lead the rest of the reinforcements to catch up.

In addition to the hundreds of new horses, Lu Jinkang personally took Ning Zhongping to the Kangyun Ranch to select horses for the elite battalion led by Ning Zhongping, which meant that the elite battalion led by Ning Zhongping was equipped with high-quality horses.

"My uncle brought the top barracks himself?" In addition to worrying about Su Zechen, Su Yunduo had another worry in his heart.

"Don't worry, my brother-in-law and I personally practiced this top-notch battalion. Not only are they good at fighting alone, but they can also kill enemies in formation. As long as you don't meet the main force of the Shu Ying Kingdom, even if you encounter 5 horses, you won't be able to trap them." Leading soldiers!" Lu Jinkang naturally understood Su Yunduo's worries, but he was very confident in this leading soldiers and told Su Yunduo firmly.

Everyone has already gone to the front line, what else can she do? !

Besides, Ning Zhongping and Lu Jinkang are not reckless people, she should trust them.

Fortunately, good news came from the northwest soon. The leading soldiers led by Ning Zhongping went deep into the rear of the Cambodian Eagle Army camp, burned food and grass, and started a guerrilla war.

The reinforcements led by Lu Jinzhen cooperated with the Northwest Army to blow the horn of counterattack, which caught the Cambodian Eagle Army by surprise.

After several confrontations, the battle line retreated for [-] li in the direction of the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom.

Although the war could not be ended for a while, it also greatly eased the tension on the northwest border.
