Mugui

Chapter 300 Young Commander

Yang Mu hurriedly cheered her up and served her tea.

Yang Siyue came over slowly and called Yang Chengen and his soldiers in.

Yang Chengen sat beside her bed and looked at his sister distressedly.

Yang Siyue said to the soldiers: "Take the young marshal to her barracks."

The soldier filled the cup with hot tea and then led Yang Mu out.

Yang Siyue said: "Brother, I recognize this child Mu Jie'er. I'm afraid it would be better if the Suzaku Army handed it over to her than in my hands."

Yang Chengen said: "You praise her too much. I just think that she is already in the third rank at a young age and can protect the Suzaku Army. In the future, when the Yang family has a rising star, she will still return the military power to the Yang family."

He patted the back of his sister's withered hand and said, "I have already told Yang Zhen about this matter. Even if I am a hundred years from now, I will not be out of control."

Although in Yang Chengen's heart, Yang Mu was indeed a rare and good granddaughter and the only heir to the Suzaku Army.But only when Jun Quan returns to the Yang family can his sister feel more at ease.

Yang Siyue nodded and said, "In this way, I feel relieved."

Yang Chengen didn't want Yang Siyue to worry too much about the Suzaku Army, so he talked about the chores in the house to divert her attention.

The brother and sister were talking here, while Yang Mu and the soldiers on the other side left the main barracks with a stack of books and entered the east wing next door.

The two placed the book on the table, and the soldier bowed and said: "This is the young commander's barracks. Once the young commander completely takes over the Suzaku Army, he can live in the main barracks."

Yang Mu glanced at the room, which had only three small rooms, which was slightly more spacious than the servant room on Furong Island.

"I still don't know, what is your surname, general?" Yang Mu asked, looking at the soldiers.

The soldier said: "My name is Cui Sanniang. He is not a general, but a centurion of my own soldiers. Young Commander, just call me Cui Sanniang."

Yang Mu nodded and said, "Centurion Cui, thank you."

Cui Sanniang said: "It's lunch time now. After lunch, the young commander's personal soldiers will come to report to you."

Yang Mu didn't expect that he also had personal soldiers, so he knew that he had nothing to do here, so he urged Cui Sanniang to go back and take care of Yang Siyue, while he sat down to read the military manual.

Just after reading half a page, there was a knock on the door.

"Commander Qi, your meal has been delivered."

Yang Mu didn't feel hungry yet, so she didn't expect to be able to eat. She waved, and the female soldier holding a tray at the door came in, put the food on the table, then stepped back and waited at the door.

Yang Mu took a look at the food, stewed potatoes and two steamed buns.

This food is not good!

Didn’t you say that the Yang family is rich?Why is the food in the army so bad?
The cornbread was dry and hard, and the potatoes had an astringent taste, which was comparable to the food in the orphanage in the previous life.

Fortunately, Yang Mu is not a picky eater. Thinking that these female soldiers eat such food every day, Yang Mu feels a little distressed.

Everyone can eat it, so she can eat it too.

The soldier at the door saw that although Yang Mu didn't eat a lot, he still finished the meal, and he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

I heard that this is the eldest daughter of the Yang family, and she can actually eat the same food as the soldiers.

After Yang Mu finished eating everything, he put down his chopsticks and continued reading the book of war.

The military books are written in classical Chinese and seem a bit obscure, but fortunately there are annotations.

The black annotations should be the notes of Yang Fu, the first protector of the country, and the handwriting is ugly and messy; the blue annotations should be Yang Siyue's notes, which are written in small regular script and are vigorous and powerful.If you read the book of war in conjunction with the two annotations, you will see the mystery.

It was only after reading the military book that she realized that in a war, the two sides did not go to war with food and fodder, but that they had to find ways to obtain the other party's food and fodder.

If it is a long-distance attack on Beiliang, the mountains are high and the roads are far, and the cost of transporting food and grass is high.

The country's transportation of twenty stones of grain and grass only consumes the other party's five stones of grain and grass, or even only one stone of grain and grass.

Yang Mu scratched his chin, looking so absorbed that he didn't even notice when Yang Chengen came in.

Seeing Yang Mu's entranced look, Yang Chengen's eyes were pleased and he said, "Sister Mu, you will be familiar with me tonight. I will go back to the Protector's Mansion tomorrow to get some daily necessities, and then come to the military camp to stay for a few days. When will you be able to take over? From the military camp, you can run from both ends."

Yang Mu looked up from his book and saw Yang Chengen sitting next to him. He put away the book and asked, "Grandpa, my aunt's illness..."

Yang Chengen sighed and said: "I took your great-aunt in disguise and went to see a trustworthy imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said that when the oil is exhausted, you will only have two months to live at most."

Yang Mu was silent. In two months, could he take over an army of ten thousand people?
Yang Chengen patted Yang Mu on the shoulder and said: "These women are all hard-working people. If you treat them sincerely, they will accept you. But this is not your goal. Your goal is that if one day they go to the battlefield , you need to save their lives."

Yang Mu suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Military power is a good thing, but if the soldiers entrust their lives to you, you must shoulder the responsibility for these ten thousand lives!
Yang Chengen came after having lunch with Yang Siyue in the main barracks. At this moment, he did not want to disturb Yang Mu from reading the military book, and said: "You are familiar with it, I will leave now. If you don't understand anything, come to the barracks and ask me and you Daddy."

Yang Mu stood up and escorted Yang Chengen out of the military camp.

After she turned around, she did not rush to visit the military camp. Instead, she returned to her temporary room and continued reading.

After a while, the soldiers came, and naturally they took her around.

There is only one private soldier assigned to Yang Mu, Bai Yao, a woman in her early twenties who is capable.

Bai Yao came to report a quarter of an hour after Yang Chengen left.

Yang Mu put down the book, looked at the soldiers in front of him, and said, "Take me for a walk."

Bai Yao responded and opened the door.

The two guards at the door were watching the door and would not let anyone else in.

Yang Mu put away the book and went out with peace of mind.

This valley is huge and there are many barracks, but most of them are old houses.

After walking around in a circle from east to west, north and south, Yang Mu roughly understood the layout of the barracks, including the training ground, racecourse, weapons depot, armor depot, grain depot, stables, kitchens... he went around one by one.

Yang Mu returned to his room and said to Bai Yao: "I'm new to the Suzaku Army and I have a lot of documents to read. If there's nothing wrong, I don't have to wait on you."

Bai Yao agreed, prepared some tea for Yang Mu, and then left.

Yang Mu's hand that was about to pick up the military manual paused, turned around, and first looked at the military regulations and formations of the Suzaku Army.

The Suzaku Army is strict in running the army, and the reward and punishment system is also very complete. Even public holidays during menstrual holidays are clearly written.

In terms of formations, most of them are small formations. Because women cannot run as fast as men, formations that are too large are not conducive to female soldiers.

But the Suzaku Army had a heavy cavalry. The soldiers' armor weighed forty kilograms, and the war horse's armor also weighed thirty kilograms.

This heavy cavalry only has 200 men, but it is like a heavy hammer and can break through armor-defying soldiers.

The more Yang Mu watched, the more excited she became. When Bai Yao came to remind her to sleep deeply at night, she realized that the moon was already in the sky.
