Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 478
Jin Renwen remained silent, pretending that he hadn't heard, Jin Qinchun didn't say anything more when he saw this, and went straight out of the tent.

Xiongjin Governor's Mansion military camp.

Outside the account, people come and go.Wang Pu heard the neighing of the horse, some people were complaining about the back pain, and some people were asking for beeswax to maintain the bowstring.The whole camp was like a giant hive, making his head buzz.Like all the recruits in Yaqiandu, Wang Pu was eager to try and excited before the expedition, but as the journey continued, fatigue, feet grinding, and sprains gradually took hold of the teenagers, and everyone became exhausted and lost their beginnings. However, it was wind and cold that gave Wang Pu the final blow. He fell ill and had to get on the pack animals prepared in advance to move forward with the team.

"Water, is there any water?" Wang Pu felt that he was very thirsty. He asked the servant beside him. Ma, I made some tea soup, drink a couple of sips!"

Wang Pu thanked him and drank a bowl of nettle tea soup. The servant poured him another bowl. Wang Pu took the pottery bowl and sipped it while hugging the warm pottery bowl with his hands to keep warm.At this time, he felt that he was much more comfortable and his feet had strength, so he stood up, wrapped his coat tightly, and walked out of the tent.He soon found his group, found them gathered around the campfire, and walked slowly over.

"What's in the pot?" Wang Pu asked.

"Wang Pu, you are cured!" Seeing Wang Pu approaching, his companion stood up in surprise and made room for him: "It's wheat porridge. The hair on the hair these days is wheat, and there is no big stone mill, just It can be rough and shelled to cook porridge and eat!"

"It would be nice to have barley porridge for marching and fighting!" Wang Pu sat down cross-legged, and the smell of barley came from the pot, which made his stomach growl immediately: "The smell should be last year's new barley, really not bad!"

"It's just a bit bland!" Someone said with a smile: "It would be great if anyone can get a game, even if there is a rabbit!"

"Rabbit?" The others laughed and said, "Haven't you heard of it? The army crosses the border, and not a single blade of grass grows. We have tens of thousands of people this time. Let alone rabbits, even mice are hard to find!"

"Actually, rat meat is also delicious! Especially the voles in autumn. They are fat and plump. They have been peeled, gutted, washed, skewered with wooden sticks and roasted on the fire. It’s delicious! It’s no worse than rabbit or chicken!” Someone was talking and dreaming, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help drooling.

"Don't talk about it, you brat, the more you talk about it, the hungrier I get!"

"That's right, we're going to war this time! You kid is thinking about eating and drinking! You're bound to do bad things before the battle!"

The boy who said that the voles were delicious was besieged by a group of companions, his face flushed with anger, and he stammered to retort: ​​"It seems that I want to eat it alone, how many of you don't want to eat meat? I didn't say that It would be great if I could get wild game! It’s obviously him who wants to do something wrong!”

"Yes, yes, he was the one who said the game just now!"

Seeing that the conflict suddenly turned to another companion, Wang Pu couldn't help laughing. He picked up a piece of dry wood and knocked on the iron pot: "Stop arguing, let's eat porridge first! Wait until the city of Pyongyang is conquered." , After destroying Goguryeo, I will buy a sheep, please eat it to your heart's content!"

"well!"

"Lamb is better!"

There was a lot of applause around the fire, and the barley porridge was ready at this time, everyone took out their bowls and chopsticks, and started eating around the fire. Wang Pu ate a bowl of barley porridge, sweated all over, and gradually gained strength. I just feel that the original illness is cured.

"Hey, did you smell it? Someone is grilling meat!" The boy who said that rat meat is no worse than rabbit meat and chicken suddenly asked.

"How can there be barbecue here? Are you thinking too much?" Someone sneered.

"That's right, if you want to eat meat so much, go find meat, and I'll get the rest of the porridge!"

Facing everyone's ridicule, the young man insisted: "I did smell it, if you don't believe it, you should also smell it carefully!"

Wang Pu saw that his expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be pretending, so he sniffed it too, and sure enough, he also smelled a smell of barbecue: "Yes, I smelled it too, it should come from the left!"

"Yes, it's on the left side. It smells so good. That's the camp on the left side!" Someone said: "It seems that those Mohe boys are over there. Where did they get the barbecue!"

"I heard from the archer Fan that the bow skills of those Mohe boys are very powerful, and they were brought from their mother's womb! Could it be that they hit some prey?"

"Nonsense, I don't believe they can shoot arrows when they come out of the womb!" Someone sneered: "Go, go and see what's going on!"

A group of teenagers stood up and walked to the left along the smell of meat. They walked through a wide road and saw seven or eight bonfires distributed like a chessboard. Around each fire were around a dozen teenagers. , it is the camp in the left wing of Yaqiandu.However, these teenagers were very vigilant. Wang Pu and the others were still twenty or thirty steps away. The people beside the nearest fire had already stood up, each wielding their knives, sticks and bows. The leader shouted in rather blunt Chinese: "What? people?"

"My name is Wang Pu!" Wang Pu stepped forward and replied, "It's the flag leader of the third team in the right wing of Yaqiandu! Are you from the left wing?"

Hearing Wang Pu's answer, the leader by the fire yelled twice, and the tense atmosphere relaxed. He took two steps forward, put his right hand on his chest, and knelt down to Wang Pu on one knee: "Yes, we It's from the left wing team! I met Shangguan in Lower Acton!"

With the help of the firelight, Wang Pu could clearly see that the young man in front of him was well-built, his scalp was shaved clean, and the hair on both sides was braided into small braids, just like a Mohe man. As one of the first local powerful children who took refuge in Wang Wenzuo, Wang Pu was naturally recognized Looking at it differently, when other companions were still serving as soldiers and gang leaders, he was already a team leader.He put on a majestic look and asked, "Get up! I was ordered to patrol the camp just now, and I smelled the smell of meat from your side. This is the land of the allies of Silla, surrounded by the people of Silla, you are stealing poultry and livestock of the local people?"

"No!" Acton was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly shook his head: "We didn't touch the poultry and livestock of the local people!"

"Then what are you roasting on the fire?" Wang Pu's voice became a little harsher.

"It's a white stork! And wild pigeons!" Acton replied, "After camping, I took two brothers to the river and shot them! If you don't believe me, you can look at the feathers!"

Wang Pu walked to the fire, and saw four roasted and browned birds on the fire. It was impossible to tell whether they were chickens, ducks or what he called white storks and wild pigeons, but there were two bundles neatly packed on the ground. The feathers and feathers are indeed not what poultry such as chickens and ducks can have.

"Why do you keep these feathers?" Wang Pu asked.

"I kept it for arrow feathers!" Acton laughed and said, "Although there are arrows on it, it's still not as easy to use as the one I made myself!"

Wang Pu reluctantly glanced at the roasted poultry on the bonfire, pretending to be nonchalant: "Since it's not a stolen poultry, forget it!" He was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Acton up.

"Brother Banner, please accept it!" Acton took a roasted white stork from the fire and sent it over.

"What are you doing?" Wang Puqiang resisted the temptation, stretched out his hand and refused: "How can I take the prey you hunted!"

"According to the rules of our Mohe people, if a hunter hits his prey, he must share it with others!" Acton said with a smile, "Since we happen to meet you today, don't refuse!"

"I can't see it, this mohe savage can really talk!" Wang Pu was secretly happy, he reached out to take the roasted white stork, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will remember Acton from the team on the left. I owe you this favor, and next time I shoot the prey, I will also invite you to drink!"

Wang Pu bid farewell to Acton, and walked back with the roasted white stork. His companions surrounded him and saw the roasted bird in Wang Pu's hands. These savages eat the meat, right? Where did they get it?"

"Don't speak so harshly!" Wang Pu scolded, "He hunted and hunted with his own ability, what do you mean he got it? He distributed the prey to us according to his own rules. De, don't be afraid of getting mouth sores!"

After being scolded by Wang Pu, everyone couldn't help laughing. They went back to their own fire and ate the roasted bird with porridge.

In the early morning of the next day, with the sound of the first horn, Tang Jun packed up his luggage, prepared breakfast, and set off after eating. Under the guidance of the Silla guide, Wang Wenzuo led the troops to cross the Han River on a pontoon bridge easily, and then headed northwest all the way.Beside Wang Wenzuo, Li Bo held high the banner representing "King of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion", and the banner with red border and white background fluttered in the wind.

When Tang Jun's death was discovered, it was already the third day after crossing the Han River.The scouts led by Changzhi Heizhi found someone spying on the top of the mill in the distance, but when the cavalry he sent arrived, the mill was already empty.The cavalry continued to pursue, but they encountered Goguryeo people within a mile. There were about 100 archers, [-] cavalry, and more than [-] infantry. With the abundant horsepower of the two horses, they quickly got rid of the pursuit.

"Do you think this enemy should be the regular army of Goguryeo?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"Yes!" Black-toothed Changzhi replied: "This group of enemies has a surprisingly large number of archers, and they are not the kind of fake stuff. Many people in the scouts were injured!"

Wang Wenzuo nodded. In the armies of the cold weapon era in ancient countries, archers were technical arms, and they could not be faked. The nine-double infantry bow and the six-double cavalry bow can be used if they can be used, and they cannot be used if they cannot be used. , A hit is a hit, and a miss is a miss.It's not like the spearmen, who randomly pull a group of mud legs, each of them throws a bamboo spear, line up in a row and put a supervising team behind them, and cavalry on both sides can also be fooled.Such a high proportion of archers is not at the level that local powerful trilogy can have.

"Do you want to wait for the Silla people?" Heitooth Changzhi asked.

"Just wait!" Wang Wenzuo showed a hint of helplessness. It turns out that since crossing the Han River, the marching speed of the Silla people has become very slow, and they have been behind Wang Wenzuo's Tang army for half a day. Wang Wenzuo could also guess a little bit about his intentions, but he also knew that Jin Renwen could not control this, so he could only pretend not to know.

"Yes!"

"Continue to send more scouts, and send more to the left and right!" Wang Wenzuo said: "This is the territory of the Goguryeo people, so be careful!"

"As ordered!"

Wang Wenzuo's caution was not superfluous. In the evening, beside a small forest of miscellaneous trees about fifteen miles east of the Tang army's camp, a short encounter broke out between the Tang army's scouts and the Goguryeo cavalry, and the battle ended after dark. , both sides had to withdraw from the battlefield full of bloodthirsty anger, leaving only corpses and wounded all over the ground, crows croaked joyfully on the miscellaneous woods, and wolves howled piercingly in the distance, making preparations for the upcoming feast. out notice.

"Please forgive me!" Jin Renwen patted Wang Wenzuo's shoulder full of apology: "My people are walking too slowly!"

"It's not your fault!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "The Silla people think they are fighting a battle that has nothing to do with them. No one can make such soldiers quicken their pace!"

"Yes!" Jin Renwen sighed, "I've said it several times, but it didn't work!"

"In the army, if you speak with your mouth and no one listens, you can only speak with a knife!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and poured Jin Renwen a glass of wine: "But this time our South Route Army is only serving as a diversionary effect anyway, and the main attack It’s the North Road of the British Duke, as long as we can keep [-] to [-] Goguryeo people in check, the British Duke will be able to handle it!”

"That's true!" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "So you have great confidence in the British government?"

"Well, with the thunderbolt chariot, most of the mountain cities that the Goguryeo people are proud of are not difficult to capture!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Without the mountain cities, the Goguryeo people are just tortoises without their shells. If he can't even deal with it, his decades of fighting will be in vain!"

"A tortoise that has shed its shell?" Jin Renwen laughed, "Sanlang, Saburo, your mouth is too vicious, isn't it?"

"Malicious? I think it's appropriate!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Obviously occupying thousands of miles of fertile fields in Liaodong, but building the city on the top of the mountain, isn't this a tortoise or something?"

"This is your fault!" Jin Renwen shook his head: "Even though the land in Liaodong is flat, most of them are swamps. When it rains, there will be floods. It is not a suitable place for a country to be established!"

"To put it this way, Hebei, Jianghuai, and Jiangnan in the Tang Dynasty were originally flooded with swamps. After years of reclamation, the swamps were drained and turned into fertile fields! Goguryeo has been established for hundreds of years, right? But in the past few hundred years, he hid on the top of the mountain, did not build water conservancy projects, cultivated fields, but spent his people's energy on those hundreds of mountain cities. Now the household registration in Liaodong can be doubled at least, even if you can't enter the Central Plains and become the emperor, it will not be difficult to swallow your Silla, Baekje and Wa kingdoms in one go, right?"

　Someone in last night's question discussion area got it right.

　　It is true that the five-character poem is an anti-poem against Liu Song by Xie Lingyun, but it is not for this reason that the poem is used here.It was because Yuan Shanjian, the last emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, resented the domineering general Gao Cheng, so he recited this poem, expressing his determination and courage that he would rather subjugate the country than accept being a puppet or a villain.
