Chapter 6 Don't let the governor know

Inside the military tent, General Zhang Yan of Xuanfu Town stared at his nephew Zhang Cheng solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Although what you said just now is not unreasonable, it has a lot to do with the matter of the captives' payment, and it is not me. It's something that can be discussed by generations. Cheng'er, don't talk too much about it in the future."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly continued: "Uncle, please don't worry, I only dare to speak to Uncle what I said just now, and Cheng'er will not tell anyone else."

Zhang Yan nodded and concentrated on eating.

He feels that this nephew has changed a lot recently, not only is he more calm, but also his thinking is clearer and brighter, but he is still a little unsophisticated, but if he brings him by his side and teaches him for a few more years, he may be able to achieve success in the future Higher than himself, the Zhang family's future may depend on this nephew!
But Zhang Cheng sighed in his heart at this moment, the situation is such a situation, many, many people know it very clearly in their hearts, but no one dares to explain this matter clearly.

Could it be that Ming is really hopeless? Could it be that the Han family is doomed to change hands, and is the Han family going to be slaves after all?

"No!!" Zhang Cheng yelled in his heart, a lot of anger was burning, but he was powerless for the time being!
After lunch, Zhang Cheng got up and said to Zhang Yan: "Uncle, Cheng'er has finished eating, let's go back to the camp to watch the trilogy. I will rush back to my uncle before Shen Shi."

"You can go back to the camp to watch the series first, remember to come to me before Shen Shi, and report to Yang Jun's tent with me." Zhang Yan ordered.

"Cheng'er, I would like to obey the general's order." Zhang Cheng knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists to accept the order.

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Cheng and smiled lovingly.

Zhang Cheng got up and went out of the big tent. Zhang Yan's personal soldiers had already brought his horse, got on the horse, and ran away to his Qianqian headquarters camp.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yan now only has more than [-] cavalry under his subordinates to reach Changping, so there should be no need for a large camp.

But cavalry camping is different from infantry, because war horses also need to rest. When camping, not only need to set up tents, dig toilets, but also build stables, and need to leave some vacant grass for horses to walk. The land is extremely wide.

What's more, a camp must be reserved in advance for the more than [-] infantry who are about to arrive later.

Zhang Cheng's Qianqian Headquarters camp is to the east of Zhang Yan's big tent. There are nearly a hundred tents of different sizes standing here. Basically, there are ten cavalrymen living in one tent, and then the top three form a team. Their tents Standing together, there are four tents in total.

The war horses are managed in a centralized manner according to the team. About [-] war horses are set up with a wooden fence covered with tarpaulins to prevent rain and sun.

The cavalry of each team who also served as the horse blacksmith was also responsible for checking the horseshoes of the war horses at this time, and processed them if necessary.

The slightly larger marching tent in the middle of the Qian headquarters camp is Zhang Cheng's Qian headquarters camp.

Back at his thousand headquarters camp, all the soldiers had already had their lunch.

At this time, some of them were taking care of their horses. For cavalry, horses were their first life, and weapons and armor were their second life, so everyone paid special attention to their horses.

When you have nothing to do, you have to take care of your horse first, and then arrange your weapons and armor.

In addition to helping to take care of the war horses, there are also those who get together to chat. They are all gathered together. They are always together and have a deep relationship. Competing, or discussing the skills and personal experience of fighting on the battlefield.

But most of the cavalry are sorting out their weapons and armor, especially the bows and arrows, which need to be checked carefully before the battle. Bows and arrows are very important to maintain, otherwise the bow strength will be much worse, and some are not well maintained, and even cannot be used. .

This time, following the governor Lu Xiang's promotion to Weijingji, everyone knew in their hearts that they were here to fight the Tartars, so everyone knew that there would be a series of battles in the future, and weapons and armor were the second life of cavalry.

When fighting on the battlefield, cavalry rely on horses first, and weapons and armor second, so when they are free, they are used to tidying up and maintaining their weapons and armor.

Especially long-range weapons such as bows and arrows and three-eyed guns must be maintained frequently. Before they actually go to the battlefield to fight, they must be carefully inspected to ensure that there is no problem with the weapons.

On the battlefield, every time you kill an enemy, you will be more safe!
Zhang Cheng came to his camp, jumped off his horse, and immediately a guard came over to take the horse away, and led it to rest in the newly built temporary stables in the camp.

Behind his tent, there is a temporary stable, where Zhang Cheng and the horses of his [-] bodyguards are raised.

In Zhang Cheng's personal team, there are also two part-time horse blacksmiths. They are basically responsible for the maintenance of the horses. Every time they are stationed for a rest, the personal team will send two soldiers in turn to help them take care of the horses.

And on the left and right sides of his big tent are the tents of the guards, each of which houses ten guards, all of whom have been carefully selected.

Not only are they all proficient in bow and horse, they are also proficient in riding, shooting, slashing and killing, and they are all young men in their twenties, with strong bodies and full of energy.

The most important thing is that these carefully selected guards are very loyal to Zhang Yan, Zhang Cheng's uncle and nephew, and have no intention of rebellion.

Zhang Cheng stepped into his military tent, and Chen Zhong, the captain of the personal guard, quickly followed in. After waiting for Zhang Cheng to sit down, he asked softly, "Master, do you have any orders?"

Just as Zhang Cheng sat down, he looked at Chen Zhong and said, "Send someone to invite the three whistle chiefs over here, and the right whistle chief Wu whistle, who is camping at the general's side, please come here too."

"Yes, Master." Chen Zhong agreed straightforwardly, turned around and left to make arrangements outside the account.

This Chen Zhong was also from a military family in Xuanfu Town. He just turned 20 this year, only two years younger than Zhang Cheng.

His father was a soldier under Zhang Yan's tent. Chen Zhong has been working hard since he was a child. He is good at riding and shooting, and he is also very good at horse fighting. He joined the army at the age of 17 and has always been a leader in the army.

That year, he began to follow Zhang Cheng, and now he is the team officer of Zhang Cheng's personal guard, loyal to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Chengjun’s tent is simpler. The front tent only has a few newly cut wooden pier used as chairs, and a temporary wooden platform as a crime table. There is nothing else, and the back tent is his resting place. , which contained his bedding and other personal belongings.

Having nothing to do, Zhang Cheng went to the back account and took out a book, which turned out to be "Records of Military Training" written by Qi Shaobao. Sitting on the wooden pier behind the table, he opened it and read it with gusto.

This book was taken from Zhang Yan's bookshelf by Zhang Cheng when he was recuperating at his uncle Zhang Yan's residence. Although Zhang Yan was not very literate, he liked to read a lot. His family actually collected some historical books and military books and strategies.

Zhang Cheng also just traveled to this world. Although his own memory has some understanding of this world, and the former Zhang Cheng also has a trace of the original memory, it is still a little vague.

Therefore, he regards this "Records of Military Training" as a treasure, and keeps it with him all the time, and takes it out to read when he is free, and he always gains something.

After a while, Chen Zheng, the chief of the outpost, came in first. Seeing that Zhang Cheng was reading a book on the wooden pier behind the table, he found a wooden pier and moved to sit beside the table.

Just then he said softly: "Master, the brothers have scoured the ground for forty miles around here, and even bought and borrowed it to get ten shi of grain and two shi of beans."

Zhang Cheng put down the scroll "Records of Military Training" in his hand, raised his head and said to Chen Zheng: "The Tartars invaded the country, and the people fled, so it's hard to buy this grain. What's the matter with borrowing grain?"

Chen Zheng was in his twenties, although he was not very tall, he was very capable and capable, and he was always cautious. As soon as Zhang Cheng arrived in Changping, he asked him to lead a team to the surrounding area to check the terrain and see if he could get some Grain.

At this time, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir. This time, my subordinates encountered several large villages, which are located in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They said that the army was coming to fight the Tartars. They should have supported them. However, there is not much food in the villages.

So I don’t need money, and I gave some grain and rice to the soldiers for free. The grain and rice donated by each village are not much. "

Zhang Cheng nodded, and said: "You must strictly guard this matter, and do not let it out, so as not to affect the morale of the army. Remember, don't let it out. As for borrowing food, this is not an example. You must not let the governor know about it."

Chen Zheng put away his smiling face, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, I have told my sons not to mention this matter, and I will definitely rot in my stomach. But, will the situation really be like that?"
