I joined the army for my father, and I took Hua Mulan to build infrastructure.

Chapter 36 Officially taking over the trap camp

Three days passed by quietly like flowing clouds.

Ye Nan enjoyed these three days very much, and he felt like he didn't want to go out. Even if the time was up, he still lingered at home and didn't want to go out.

Auntie, who was carrying a lot of things, was putting things on the back of the obedient Heifeng horse. She put them away and said: "Dani, I will put some dried sweet potatoes at home for you. You can take them back and share them with your subordinates who are trapped in the camp." First of all, the training in the military camp is heavy, you are already a general, so don’t tire yourself out."

Ye Nan looked at A Niang helplessly. The pawns trapped in the camp are not me. They don't like to eat dried sweet potatoes, they like to eat meat.

How can I get it?

But Ye Nan didn't stop A Niang's good intentions. He thought that in the worst case, I would just hide away and destroy them all...

The second and third sisters of the Ye family held Ye Nan's hands, their expressions full of reluctance.

The youngest third sister cried and said: "Sister, if you leave, who will take me to dig out bird's nests and fish for fish?"

Auntie picked up the note and walked over, saying: "You two losers, why don't you let go of your eldest sister? If she doesn't return to the army, where will you get the roast chicken pancakes to eat?"

Sure enough, it had to be A Niang. The two little ones loosened Ye Nan's hand.

"Then we agreed, next time I come back I want such a big roast chicken!"

"I want shortbread!"

Ye Nan:......

Co-authored, Does it matter that I haven’t eaten yet?

What two little heartless things.

"Buy, buy, buy! Mom, how about I play for a day and then leave?" Ye Nan said standing at the door.

Grandma frowned and scolded: "You foodie, hurry up and get away! Don't you get punished for missing a day? Don't buy so many things next time you come back and waste your money."

Ye Nan smiled and touched his hair, then sat on Heifeng and waved, "Auntie, I'm really leaving then!"

"Let's go, let's go, why bother?"

As soon as Ye Nan clamped the horse's belly, Heifeng ran towards the village entrance.

But after a while, Ye Nan came back riding Black Wind, and just in time, Aniang was closing the door.

"What are you doing back again?"

Ye Nan smiled shyly and said, "Mom, I forgot to take the money..."

Ye Nan's belongings were all handed over to his mother-in-law, and now he was spreading his little hands, asking for money!

Grandma covered her purse, looked around carefully, then took out a piece of broken silver and put it in Ye Nan's hand.

"Anyway, you are close to home. This tael of silver should be enough for you to last for a month, right?"

Ye Nan stuffed the silver into his arms, then spread his hands and said, "How can one tael of silver be enough? At least ten taels!"

In the end, after Ye Nan's bargaining, Ye Nan got five taels of silver from his mother...

If I had known earlier, I would have saved my pocket money and given it to my mother-in-law. It would have been difficult to get it back.

It's not that Ye Nan doesn't want to give it, but A Niang is really a person who knows how to live a good life. It's hard for her to spend money on luxury.

Still far from the goal of realizing wealth and freedom, Ye Nan could only return to the military camp and wait for the next opportunity to go out. The trapped camp once again added 3,000 recruits. Under the auspices of Nangong Zheng, recruit training was being carried out noisily on the school grounds.

After Ye Nan entered the camp on horseback, looking at this scene, he couldn't help but think of himself, who came here in the same way.

Nowadays, during non-war times, all new recruits who join the army voluntarily sign up to join the army, so in terms of quality, there is no comparison with before.

Some of the veterans who were recruited left, but more of them wanted to stay in the army after getting promoted and making money.

Lao Wang did not drive away the people, but regarded the remaining veterans as special talents for training new recruits, and kept them all.

These people are still farming when they go home, so why not let them use their remaining heat to bring in new recruits and pass on the glory of the trapped camp.

There was no upper age limit for soldiers in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The older they were, the more valuable they were. Combat experience alone was beyond the reach of new recruits.

Now that the previous emperor has been buried and the new emperor has ascended the throne, the military document handed over by Lao Wang finally has an echo.

One word, accurate.

Lao Wang, who has been on the battlefield for decades, is packing his luggage. He has been discharged and returned to his field. Now is the time to make room for young people.

Nangong Zheng and a group of soldiers helped him pack his luggage. When Ye Nan arrived, Lao Wang was walking out of the tent carrying a large bag of luggage.

Lao Wang looked at the sky, then pointed at Ye Nan and cursed: "You heartless thing, you still know how to come back? You are an hour late from the time to return to camp. Did you steal cattle on the road?"

Ye Nan decisively put the blame on Hei Feng and even took the initiative to help Lao Wang carry his luggage.

"Isn't it because Heifeng doesn't know the road? I wasted a few miles on the way back, otherwise I would have arrived earlier."

Heifeng blinked and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. If someone hadn't been haggling at the door of the house, would it be late?"
  Lao Wang was too lazy to argue with Ye Nan. Ye Nan had a lot of lies and had led Lao Wang into trouble several times.

Looking at Ye Nan who was worried, Lao Wang said earnestly: "In the future, I will also be the commander of a battalion, and I will assume the position of camp commander. Can you not do things to leave people with excuses? As the saying goes, if a soldier is raging, a general will be raging. How are you doing as a general? The soldiers under your command must not imitate the same. If this continues, I will see what you will do when the time comes."

Ye Nan nodded in agreement, and then listened to Lao Wang teach her the experience of leading troops.

A group of people sent Lao Wang to the carriage at the gate of the camp, and he was still chattering.

"After I leave, you have to help me Ye Nan. Don't let her do things she doesn't understand. Let her take the lead in fighting and that's it. I still have to go home and take care of the baby. If I'm stuck in the camp, I'll hand it over. There you have it.”

Lao Wang lay on the carriage and was picked up by his servants.

The more people listened, the more something was wrong. Lao Wang was obviously turning his elbow towards Ye Nan!

Ye Nan waved his hands and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, please walk slowly. The trapped camp will definitely flourish in my hands, grow bigger and stronger, and become the most powerful army in Wei!"

Nangong Zheng stood next to Ye Nan and poured cold water on her, saying: "The original intention of establishing the trap camp was to go to the south to fight against the Liu and Song Dynasty. In the past few years, we have just fought against the Rouran people, and we have suffered losses every time. Tragic, General, do you know why?"

Ye Nan thought for a while, and finally thought of the reason. When two-legged infantry and cavalry fight, they burn high incense if they don't lose. The main force in this era is cavalry!

"So, there is no room for infantry to perform?"

Nangong Zheng nodded, and then gave Ye Nan a bad idea.

"General, you are old with today's world. Why don't you talk to him and ask us to change our camp into a cavalry camp? This way we won't fall behind the team, and we can fight head-on with the Rouran people. By then, won’t military success be at your fingertips?”

Ye Nan thought for a moment, then patted Nangong Zheng, the fearful dog-headed strategist, on the shoulder with relief, and then said: "General, I actually think so too, but I am not yet able to see the emperor at my level, so I have to take on the arduous task of delivering military documents to him. I’ll leave it to you.”

Nangong Zheng:? ? ?
