Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 106 Captured
"The new army Luo Tong pays homage to General Chai!" Before the dusty Luo Tong had time to salute, Chai Shao pulled him up, only to hear Chai Shao eagerly ask: "General Luo, are you going to win this trip? Where are General Lang and the new army? Are you in trouble?"

Chai Shao knew Luo Tong, and when he saw him, he asked three questions.The superiors are pressing to ask questions, Chai Shao can't wait!

These boys who lead the army have a lot of background, in case they make mistakes, let alone Qin Qiong, Li Jing and Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin's hob meat alone is not something he Chai Shao can bear. When he splashed, Li Shimin couldn't stand it.

Luo Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, General, for your concern. Our trip was very successful and we have gained a lot. General Qin Zhonglang and the new army will be stationed more than a hundred miles west of Shuofang, and the last general will come. It was ordered by General Qin to ask the General for help."

"Are you in trouble?" Chai Shao suddenly became nervous.

Luo Tong didn't understand Chai Shao's meaning, thought for a while and said, "I'm in trouble, why don't you come here to ask the general for help?"

Chai Shao stood up abruptly, and said: "Okay, the general will personally lead the army to meet him." After speaking, with the help of the guards, he put on his armor, as if he was going into battle to kill the enemy.

"General, you misunderstood." At this point, Luo Tong would be a fool if he didn't understand what Chai Shao meant.He couldn't laugh or cry: "General, the so-called trouble is that our seized cattle, sheep and horses are too big, and our number is too small, so we can't keep busy at all, and I'm afraid we won't be able to drive into the city."

"Don't worry about these, save people first..." Chai Shao stopped busy with his hands, and asked loudly, "What did you say?"

Luo Tong was both funny and moved, so he had to repeat it.

"You said that you won't be able to handle more than [-] people?" Chai Shao had an unbelievable expression on his face.

"That's true!" Luo Tong said with a bitter face: "When we went south, we killed, burned, and looted every tribe we encountered. When we retreated to the border, we didn't know how many tribes and people we killed. I don’t know how many cattle, sheep and horses were seized, and no one went to count them, I only know a lot.”

The new army burned, killed and looted all the way, killed nearly 8 Turkic people, and liberated nearly [-] Han slaves. It was fun, but the seizure of the heavens became a burden. With so many cattle and sheep, It would take a lot of time to do an inventory.

Not to mention, at that time, everyone only wanted to go to the tribe of extermination and hide their tracks. Who would count them?The most important thing is to kill the Turks and hide their whereabouts, rather than wasting time counting the number of cattle and sheep.

So up to now, how many cattle, sheep and horses have been seized has become a mess, and no one knows how many there are.

Luo Tong and the others only know a lot, in units of [-], maybe as many as [-], maybe a few dozen.Anyway, when looking down from a high place, it was majestic and magnificent. In short, Luo Tong had never seen that scene in his life.

Therefore, only the great Lao Tzu knows the specific number.

"By the way, General!" Luo Tong seemed to have thought of something, and reminded: "The brothers haven't had dinner yet, please prepare one or two."

"It's a small matter, good wine and good meat to serve." Chai Shao, who has gained a lot, said generously.

Luo Tong panicked: "Don't, don't, don't!"

"Huh? You are..." Chai Shao was very surprised.

Luo Tong said with a heartbroken expression on his face: "General, you can just do it! Just prepare some rice and vegetables for us! These days, there are meat in the morning and evening, and you will spit it out after eating." After finishing speaking, Luo Tong A disgusted look on the face.

"Huh?" Chai Shao was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

……

Two hours later, Chai Shao, who was working, suddenly heard "rumbling" thunder, and even the teacup on the table caused ripples.

Chai Shao hurried to the top of the city to watch.

When he looked west, he couldn't help taking a breath.

The "rumbling" "thunder" is the sound of countless cattle, sheep and horses.

At first glance, there are running cattle, sheep and horses all over the mountains and plains, covering a large area in darkness, and you can't see the end at all, as if colorful clouds are floating.

The new army can no longer be called the army, it should be called the herdsmen.

Together with the rescued Han people, they waved whips, drove cattle, sheep and horses, and yelled one after another, one after another, making people feel like they were in the depths of the desert. Unexpectedly, this was outside Shuozhou City.

"My God, there are so many cattle, sheep and horses." Xue Wanjun, who came running together, was tongue-tied and couldn't hold back his tongue. He swallowed and said, "How many Turkic tribes have to be robbed?"

"Fortunately, we were complacent before! Compared with the new army, we are so little, and we reported it with great fanfare. Thinking about it, I really blush." ​​Chai Shao also had a shocked expression on his face, and at the same time, he was in his prime. The hero is late and the years are not forgiving, but I am old, but the growth rate of the young generation is too crazy.

When Qin Feng led more than ten people to step onto the tower, Xue Wanjun looked at the endless stream of cattle, sheep and horses pouring into the city gate, and at Qin Feng, who was black and thin, and asked, "General Qin Zhonglang, With so many spoils of war, I want to know how many people you killed, how many tribes you destroyed, and how many you captured during this trip?"

"How much is this called?"

Qin Feng smiled and said: "We just snatched this on the way back. If it wasn't for keeping our whereabouts secret, if it wasn't for lack of manpower, hehe! At least we have to turn it over."

Qin Feng raised his voice and said: "The grassland is a good place. There are cattle and sheep in the wind and grass. It is really full of gold! If I didn't rush back to Chang'an to take part in the imperial and military exams, I still don't want to come back! This batch of cattle , I hope it will help next year's spring plowing."

"Helpful, very helpful!" Chai Shao said excitedly, "With this batch of cattle, next year will definitely be a bumper harvest."

Qin Feng said to himself: "The Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. This is far from enough. After taking part in the imperial and military examinations, go to the grassland to play. You don't need to cultivate or graze, and you will gain a lot. No wonder some people like to turn grass into bandits. , this kind of thing is really a bargain."

"This kid is addicted to robbery."

Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun looked at each other and mourned for Turks in their hearts.

Both of them are generals in a hundred battles. From the fierce murderous aura and bloody smell on Qin Feng and his subordinates, I know that they killed very brutally and crazily.

Qin Feng talked to himself for a while, and then said: "General, we have rescued nearly [-] Han Chinese slaves, and I hope you will resettle them. They have suffered in Turkic for several years, ten years, and some even decades. You can treat everyone well."

"General Qin Zhonglang, please don't worry." Chai Shao said with emotion: "After the scourge of Master Liang, Shuozhou is sparsely populated. It is definitely a great thing for this group of people to join. .After I report it to the emperor, I will definitely set aside a good piece of land for everyone.”

Qin Feng said gratefully: "Please, General."

"No trouble, no trouble at all."

"It's too late for me to thank you!" Seeing that Qin Feng was puzzled, Chai Shao laughed and explained: "The emperor appointed me as the governor of Shuozhou, and I was in charge of all the recovered lands of Liangshi. I was having a headache because of the population. , having you send these [-] people, just solved my urgent need."

Qin Feng said: "Congratulations, General!"

Chai Shao said with a smile on his face, "We are happy together!"

In the capital, if you go the wrong way, you will meet a lot of high-ranking officials. Although it is a good thing to be an official in the capital, the real power is not very big, and it is different when you go to the local area.Take Chai Shao as an example. After becoming the governor of Shuozhou, he is equivalent to a combination of high-ranking officials and commanders of the provincial military region. and.During Mingjun's reign, those who were released as officials were naturally richer than those in Beijing.

……

After three days of recuperation in Shuozhou, Qin Feng brought a group of carefully selected high-quality horses and led the new army back to Chang'an.

Chai Shao wanted to return to Beijing to show his merits, and handed over Shuozhou's military administration to his assistants, and returned to Beijing with the new army.

Of course, Liang Luoren and Li Zhengbao were accompanied by the restless generals.

After parting from Xue Wanjun who was seeing him off, Chai Shao in casual clothes twirled his beard and asked Qin Feng with a smile: "Nephew, can you get used to everything in the barracks? Do you have any ideas for this first expedition?" Qin Qiong has a long friendship, and in private, he has always been called a good nephew.Qin Feng replied with a smile: "Little nephew is free and easy by nature. To be honest, I don't feel much! If I really want to say how I feel, one word: cool."

Chai Shao broke out into a burst of laughter, and praised: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. As a general, you should be as stable as Mount Tai and not be moved by personal emotions. Are you interested in walking with me all the way?"

Although Qin Feng was puzzled, he agreed.To be honest, Qin Feng is also happy to get along with these Confucian generals, if he can get their advice, he will definitely benefit a lot.

Chai Shao leads Qin Feng, and wherever he goes, he must talk about military affairs.

Where is camp, where is ambush, where is fire, where is water attack...

Qin Feng suddenly realized that Chai Shao used the method of soldiers to repay the love of 3 people he sent him!
After being reborn in the Tang Dynasty, although Qin Feng has made up a lot of military books, most of them are on paper. In terms of large-scale and actual marching operations, he is definitely a rookie.

And Chai Shao has experienced many battles since Li Yuan started his army in Taiyuan.Chai Shao is not famous for his military power, but he can stand out in the era of stars like clouds, ranking No. 24 among the 14 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. His achievements are all due to his military talents.It is undoubtedly Qin Feng's blessing to have his careful guidance.

Qin Feng listened to his explanation and was taught with an open mind, but he would speak out when he didn't understand or disagree.

Chai Shao either explained his doubts or debated with him.

The two sometimes even get red-faced because of their differences of opinion. Neither can convince the other, and finally break up unhappy.

But in less than half an hour, they will gather in one place again and express their thoughts on each other's opinions.

When they arrived in Chang'an, under Chai Shao's careful guidance, Qin Feng had a deeper understanding of the way to use troops.

Chai Shao also admired him sincerely. Although he explained his experience to Qin Feng with the attitude of pointing him out, every time he sorted out his thoughts, he would find that Qin Feng's whimsical ideas would also bring him new feelings, so I am more happy to "point out" Qin Feng.After this incident, the old and the young have become very good "friends".
