A thousand and eight barbarian cavalry entice the enemy to go deeper. All barbarian generals believed that this round would be a great victory easily, but they could wait left and right until the sun was about to go down and no one returned.
That's wrong!
The leader of the barbarian army, Sambuganda, immediately sent people to inquire about the news, but the spies sent out returned with earthy faces.
"Report to Ganda, Sochiron's cavalry squad are all killed!" The spies couldn't believe their eyes, but it was indeed their cavalry squad lying on the desolate wasteland.
what? The barbarians' eyes widened, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"Except for the one hundred disabled horses, the rest were taken away by the Daqi people!" The spies were filled with righteous indignation. "The subordinates also found that the cavalry who dedicated their lives to the gods died in a miserable state. It seemed that they had suffered a great deal before death. Pain!" From the traces, there are indeed only a thousand or hundreds of people on the opponent, almost all of them are infantry. So what caused their thousands of cavalry to die in the hands of the opponent?
With a "slap", the broad palms fell heavily on the armrests, and Sambuganda grimaced and said, "What kind of witchcraft did these Daqi people use?"
Their great Longgetu tribe is not as thriving as Daqi, but the men of their Longgetu are born brave and vigorous riders. They cannot be defeated by the stupid and incompetent Daqi! They must have used tricks!
The rest of the generals thought so too. Seeing that after playing so many times, they finally stretched out a horse's leg to make Da Qi smash his head, but they first fell unlucky!
"It must be found out!" Sambuganda said with a deep face. They were few, so every cavalry was a precious resource. Suddenly there were so many missing, he couldn't explain to the king. The most important thing is that it is not a good omen for such a weird thing to happen before preparing to attack!
Some subordinates suggested that no more teams of one to five hundred people should be sent to contact the Daqi army to inquire about the news. Sambuganda thought for a while and agreed. Wang Zhang is on his way, and he must ensure that the battle goes smoothly to meet the great King Uso.
...
The recruits brought back more than a thousand fine-bred war horses, but they envied the three armies. Many veterans praised how the recruits won the fierce barbarian cavalry. Where did the recruits have received this kind of treatment sought after by the veterans, although Gu Changfeng had told them not to be publicized, they couldn't help but confess that they used a kind of magical powder to pit the barbarian cavalry. When asked what kind of powder it was, the recruits could only answer that it was a kind of fiery red powder with an extremely spicy taste. So the veterans knew that Gu Changfeng had a mysterious powder that could poison the barbarian cavalry!
This news spreads from ten to ten, and the more it spreads, the more God it gets. Some people say that if you accidentally take a sip of the powder, you will turn red and your lips will be swollen, and you will spit your tongue like a dog. Some people say that your eyes will be blinded if you accidentally touch the powder. Some people say that you will mouth if you take the powder. He died of foaming.
However, no matter how powerful it is, this is just chili powder. Some people can't eat spicy food, and some are addicted to spicy food.
"My son, why don't you see Lord Shen today?" General Wang of the Zuo Jun saw Gu Changfeng passing by and stopped the people.
Gu Changfeng Fengmeifeng frowned lightly: "He went into the city with the adjutant Liu who bought it. Are you looking for something to do with him?"
General Wang waved his hand: "It's not a big deal. I just want to ask Master Shen if he has any chili peppers. I want to ask him for some. The dishes made with chili peppers are really amazing! I've been worried about it once. Now, I feel that eating other things is not enough for appetite."
Gu Changfeng: "When he comes back, I will ask him to give you some."
"Thank you!" General Wang opened his eyes and smiled. He suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Changfeng in a low voice: "It is said that Lord Shen has not married yet. Does the elder son know what kind of woman Lord Shen likes?"
"...He doesn't like women."
General Wang's eyes lit up and he asked urgently, "Then what kind of pair does Master Shen like?"
Gu Changfeng's eyes flashed: "The taller one, the better figure."
General Wang was overjoyed, and asked, "What about the character? What kind of character do Master Shen like?"
Gu Changfeng looked down and thought for a while and said: "Be good, don't need a lot of words, but be sincere. You have a skill and you can be self-reliant."
General Wang patted his thigh, and his eyebrows were beaming: "My family is tall, gentle and strong in heart, sincere and non-pretentious, can chant poetry and paint, and have a good cooking skill! What a god!"
Gu Changfeng was taken aback, and his eyes suddenly stern: "What does General Wang mean? Lord Shen already has a sweetheart, and the emperor knows this. Is this the general who wants your son to be a villain who destroys other people's feelings?"
General Wang's eyes were filled with consternation: "Master Shen has a sweetheart?"
Gu Changfeng looked serious: "Yes, the two are very emotional. Lord Shen bluntly said that he will not marry him."
General Wang was a little sorry, but he was still not reconciled: "There are so many men with three wives and four concubines. Lord Shen has a bright future in the future, so there is no harm in marrying one more."
Gu Changfeng said solemnly, "Master Shen would not be so half-hearted."
"No, no..." General Wang shook his head with a smile, "Shizi, you don't know a man. This man says he likes one, but he is holding another. The beautiful flower is on his side, and Wenxiang Nephrite is in his arms. No one is unmoved."
His fists clenched sharply, and Gu Changfeng's eyes were dark as a ball of ink that could not be opened: "I don't know a man, but I believe him."
General Wang thought that the two of them really had a deep friendship, but this kind of thing had nothing to do with character, so he smiled and stopped talking.
Gu Changfeng didn't want to discuss Shen Yanbei with others, so he bid farewell and took the recruits to train.
In the afternoon, Shen Yanbei returned to the camp. The autumn and winter seasons were suitable for tonic. He followed the officials in charge of the procurement to nearby Pingcheng to stroll around, found a blacksmith to set a barbeque iron net, and bought a plump little lamb back for Gu Chang to seal the small stove.
"Master Shen is there?"
Suddenly there was a loud shout outside. Shen Yanbei paused. At this moment, he was holding a small soft brush to brush a piece of browned lamb chops with chili powder. There is a wire net on the charcoal fire next to it, and a lot of lamb skewers are placed on it. The climate on the border is harsh, and the night of late autumn is cold and cold. The military specially took care of him, a scholar, and gave him a charcoal basin early, which was just convenient for him to barbecue.
The person outside shouted again, and Shen Yanbei set the sheep aside, wiped his hands and got up out of the tent.
The general wearing armor and a bit fierce face saw him out, trying to put on a kind and elder appearance, so he tried to squeeze a smile, but it seemed that he didn't smile, and Shen Yanbei was confused.
He didn't seem to offend anyone.
"General Ma?"
"Haha, Lord Shen!" General Ma came forward to greet him, "Is Lord Shen still used to living?"
Shen Yanbei smiled slightly: "General Lao, remember, it's fine to live here."
"That's good, that's good!" General Ma looked at Shen Yanbei up and down, looking more and more satisfied. "It's rare that Master Shen can endure hardship as a scholar. I don't know where Master Shen is from?"
Shen Yanbei felt strange, but the other party was an elder, so he said in a convenient way: "I am from Dongjiang County, Qinghe County."
"Qinghe County? A good place!" General Ma secretly thought that Qinghe County is a coastal land, and the counties are so rich that Shen Yanbei's clothes don't look like poor people, and he asked, "How many people are there in Shen's family? brothers and sisters?"
This is the account check? The meat was still roasting in it, so he had to watch the charcoal fire to prevent the meat from getting old. Shen Yanbei didn't whistle around with him, and asked directly, "What's the matter with General Ma?"
"Nothing else, just want to ask Mr. Shen what kind of woman he likes." General Ma opened the door: "There is a young girl in Ma's family, who is lively and innocent, and most admires a handsome man like Mr. Shen..."
Shen Yanbei was taken aback, and smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, the general, for showing me your love, there are already people who love me."
General Ma laughed, his face trembling: "What's the matter with a man with three wives and four concubines? With your abilities, Lord Shen, you won't know how to marry more people."
Shen Yanbei smiled without saying a word. He is not familiar with this General Ma, there is no need to bother to explain to him. He just has to show it to his wife.
Upon seeing this, General Ma also felt that he was too abrupt, but he had a thick-skinned face and continued: "My little girl is so cute, don't you really consider it?"
Shen Yanbei wanted to refuse directly, but thought that if he didn't marry his daughter-in-law in one day, he would inevitably be asked about it, so he smiled lightly: "Your lady is cute, but the person I admire is even more cute."
"He has a valuable status and a good personality. People are easier to be shy. When I was down and down, he didn't despise me for being impoverished, and he took care of me, who was unconsciously sick and patient. I want to marry him home, but my identity Humble and not rich..."
The smile on General Ma's face gradually disappeared. The young man in front of him clenched his fists, his thin lips pressed tightly, and his eyes were full of bitterness. The kind of desire that could not be shown was so vivid that he couldn't say what he wanted to persuade.
Shen Yanbei sighed, and a gentle smile came out from the corner of his mouth: "Although I can't marry him yet, I'm satisfied to stay by his side and watch him."
After finishing speaking, he smiled apologetically to General Ma: "I have a place in my heart. I only wish to work with him in this life and dare not delay others. Thank you for your love."
At this point, General Ma had no choice but to say: "If there is a will, everything will happen. You are still young, and the emperor will pay attention to it. You will surely get what you want." Shen Yanbei cannot be his son-in-law, but he still appreciates this. For young people.
"I borrow your good words." Shen Yan said with gratitude.
"Go ahead!" General Ma patted him on the shoulder and walked away. I saw Gu Changfeng walking towards Shen Yanbei on the road, and the soldiers passing by greeted him one after another. General Ma’s forward footsteps were immediately stunned. Something flashed through his mind quickly. He turned his head in a ghostly manner, just in time to see Shen Yanbei eyebrows gently watching Gu Changfeng.
I understood everything in an instant!
It turns out that the precious person whom the champion Lang admires is actually the son of Zhen Guo Gong!
This...this is really love. General Ma's expression was complicated. He happened to meet General Wang on the road. He decided to share his feelings with General Wang.
Unexpectedly, General Wang thought so too.
"Old horse, let me tell you something. Lord Shen already has a sweetheart, and the emperor knows it, so you don't have to think too much!"
"Pharaoh, let me tell you something. This Lord Shen has deep roots in a human relationship. If you don't marry a monarch, you will die!"
As soon as the words were spoken, both of them were stunned, staring at them.
"How did you know?" General Wang frowned.
General Ma glanced at him: "Master Shen told me personally!" He raised his eyebrows and continued: "Do you know who he admires?"
General Wang suspiciously asked: "Who is important? It's not your girl anyway."
"It's the son."
General Wang was dumbfounded. Both of them sighed at the integration of each other's information.
Shen Yanbei fell in love with his good friend Zhen Guo Gong Shi Zi. He did not dare to show his love because of the difference in status, but could not bear the pain of separation, so he came to the border and stayed by Shi Zi silently. But the world knows that his friend has a sweetheart, but he doesn't know that sweetheart is him.
"Young people now..." The two old generals sighed, shaking their heads.
At this time, Shen Yan Beizheng and his sweetheart were eating delicious barbecue.
Shen Yanbei took the initiative to confess: "General Ma came to me just now and said that he would introduce his daughter to me. I have already rejected him!"
Gu Changfeng said softly "Uh" and said, "General Wang also visited me this morning and asked me what kind of person you like. He said that his son is tall, with a gentle temper and a strong heart. He is sincere and not artificial. , Can chant poems and paint, and have a good cooking skill, which matches you very well."
The expression on Shen Yanbei's face froze, and he whispered: "Changfeng, listen to me..."
Gu Changfeng looked at him quietly, his expression unchanged. Shen Yanbei touched his nose: "This will not happen again in the future." He was not ashamed to say the nonsense, but as long as the news spreads, no one will say it in front of Gu Chang's cover.
Gu Changfeng lowered his eyes and turned the mutton skewers over: "The generals have a good vision. They know you are a good husband." He raised his eyes and stared at him, "But no matter how good it is, it is mine!"
Shen Yanbei was stunned, then covered his face.
It's over. His wife has been domineering since she became a general!
There was a rush of drums outside the tent, and Shen Yanbei removed the iron net, copied a bowl of water and poured it into the charcoal stove, extinguishing the charcoal fire.
The barbarians sent a cavalry squad to harass again, this time everyone was vying to send troops, and finally Tai Qi just ordered the left army to fight. It just so happened that the military craftsman rushed out a batch of soldiers and just went to the court to try the power of the crossbow arrows.
When it got dark, the Zuo Army returned triumphantly. It is a pity that this time they did not bring back their horses like the new recruits did last time. The defeated barbarian cavalry hurriedly retreated, and the horses ran away.
After listening to his subordinates' response, Sambuganda's brows became more worried. Daqi people got a new weapon with great lethality?
"Report--" An excited little soldier rushed in.
"Report to Ganda! Wang Account... Wang Account is here!"
