Yunqing departs at dawn when he goes out, and he doesn't rest until dark, and he eats dry food at noon. Zao Zao rode the horse for two days in a row, and his thighs were red and swollen.

In the evening, Hongdou said while medicating the jujubes: "County Lord, tell the prince of your situation, and let the prince prepare a carriage for you!"

Zao Zao shook his head and said, "Since I came out with my father, I can't hold him back." And I can't stand this little suffering, how can I lead troops to fight in the future?"

After a pause, Zao Zao looked at the red bean and said, "You are not allowed to tell Sù Niang about this." "If I let my mother know, I guess my mother will be so sad that she will shed tears again. Zao Zao is not afraid of Yuxi's scolding, nor is she afraid of Yuxi beating her, she is afraid that Yuxi will shed tears.

Hongdou lowered his head and looked at the medicine in his hand, and said, "County Lord, I'm afraid your situation is expected by the princess." Otherwise, the princess would not have prepared the medicine. "The medicines that Yuxi brought this time were all made by Master Yang. These medicines are very popular with the generals, but the amount is a little less.

I applied the medicine, and when I woke up the next day, the swelling had subsided a lot. However, when I walk, it still hurts a little.

Although Yunqing was more careless, as a father, he still saw the strangeness of jujubes. Yunqing asked, "What's wrong?"

Zao Zao shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm not used to it, just wait for two days." "The last time I went to Yucheng, there was a carriage with me, and I was tired of riding, and jujube dates can be used as a carriage. Therefore, I didn't feel anything about the jujube on my last trip to Yucheng

Yun Qing hummed and said, "Come over and drink a bowl of broth." "The food on the road is completely incomparable to that at home.

Looking at Zao Zao's posture when he got on the horse, Yun Qing suddenly understood when he saw this, and asked, "Is it a leg pain?" Zao Zao had not ridden a horse for so long before, and this time he was afraid that his legs would be worn out after riding a horse for a long time.

Zao Zao didn't hide it from Yun Qing, nodded and said, "Well, it's a little red and swollen, but it's much better after applying the medicine." Dad, it's okay, I'll get used to it in two days. "Following Huo Changqing to practice martial arts, he was often beaten, and he could bear this pain.

Yunqing was also reluctant to let Zao Zao endure these hardships, and said: "You can be patient for the time being, and wait until the county town in front of you buys a carriage." It was also his inconsiderate thinking, but he didn't expect Zao Zao to ride a horse for a long time.

Zao Zao shook his head and said: "No need Dad, this time to make a carriage, I can't lead the troops to fight in the future and take the carriage! "This time, it's a workout.

Yunqing touched Zaojube's head and said, "You are still young, you don't have to work so hard." "His daughter is so sensible, which also makes him feel distressed!

Zao Zao still shook his head and said, "Dad, when I went out, my mother prepared medicine for me to reduce swelling, and it is estimated that my mother expected this situation at that time." After speaking, Zao Zao looked at Yunqing and said: "My mother knew that I was going to suffer hardships when I went out this time, but she didn't stop her, it was she who regarded this trip to the West Sea as a training for me." "Zaozao's eloquence is still very good now.

Yunqing thought for a while and said, "The carriage still has to be purchased, and when you can't stand it, you can take the carriage." "If Zao Zao can insist on riding a horse and not riding a carriage, it also proves that Zao Zao has strong willpower.

Arriving at a town that night, Yunqing asked Si Bonian to buy a carriage.

Zao Zao didn't even look at the carriage, and went back to his room after dinner. But when the red bean gave her medicine at night, the jujube was so painful that she almost screamed out.

Hongdou couldn't help but say: "Lord Dajun, since the prince has purchased a carriage, you can take the carriage tomorrow!" In fact, Hongdou didn't understand why the jujube had to fight so hard. It will be the prince who will inherit the title in the future, and there is no need for the lord to work so hard.

Zao Zao shook his head and said, "Don't sit." Anyway, she made up her mind and resolutely refused to ride in the carriage.

As a result, the carriage that was purchased became an ornament.

Yunqing touched the head of the jujube and said, "What a stubborn girl." "This character is really printed in the same mold as him. If it's a son, it's okay, but it's a daughter, which really makes him feel unspeakable.

Zao Zao showed a bright smile and said, "Dad, I asked Uncle Yin, and he said that as long as he survived the first few days, he wouldn't be so painful in the back." "The pain was numb later, so naturally I didn't feel the pain.

Zao Zao was reluctant to take the carriage, and Yunqing was reluctant to let her suffer, so he slowed down the trip. Originally, it took twelve days to get to Xiping City, but this time it took eighteen days.

When he arrived in Xipingcheng, Zao Zao fell ill. Even if the jujube is well raised, but riding a horse for more than half a month, the body can't stand it.

Seeing Yunqing entering the house with the medicine, Zao Zao said with a ashamed face: "Dad, I'm dragging my feet." "In the military, it is shameful to hold back.

Yunqing was really angry and distressed, and said: "I didn't hold back, it's amazing that Zao Zao can last so long without screaming tired." Dad can't do it at your age!"

Zao Zao didn't believe it, and said, "Dad, you can lie to me!" Smelling the unpleasant smell of medicine, Zao Zao said: "Dad, can you not drink the medicine?"

Yunqing shook his head and said, "No, I will get better quickly after drinking the medicine." "The medicine is so bitter that no one likes to drink it. However, good medicine is good for disease, and you have to drink it if you don't want to.

Zao Zao took a bowl of medicine with a bitter face, and after drinking it, Zao Zao said in a low voice: "Dad, I miss my mother." ”

With the nature of jujubes, they will say such things when they are sick. Yun Qing touched Zaojube's hand and said, "I'll see my mother when I go back." ”

Hongdou hurriedly handed the prepared candied fruit to the jujube and said, "County Lord, eat a candied fruit to remove the bitterness." ”

The dates and dates ate the candied fruit, and fell asleep after a while.

Feng Dajun saw Yunqing and said, "Lord Wang, why did you bring the big county lord?"

Yun Qing said: "I prepared a carriage for her, and she didn't want to sit on it herself." This girl is very stubborn. ”

Feng Dajun frowned and asked, "Lord Wang, do you really plan to let Zao Zao lead troops to fight in the future?"

Yun Qing nodded and said, "This road was chosen by us for Zao Zao, and now that she wants to go down, we can't stop her." "If Zao Zao himself is unwilling to take this path, then they will also follow Zao Zao's will. But Zao Zao obviously wants to join the army, and he will be a female general who leads troops to fight in the future, how can he be willing to stop it.

Feng Dajun followed Huo Changqing to practice martial arts in Zaozao, and he had a vague guess in his heart. However, Yun Qing and Huo Changqing didn't point it out, and he didn't ask more: "If a woman wants to make a contribution, she must pay more than ordinary people." As a jujube, there is no need to work so hard. ”

Yunqing shook his head and said, "This girl is not afraid of hardship. Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the recent situation in Xihai?"

Feng Dajun said: "At the border, there were small groups of northern captives who appeared to loot grain, cattle and sheep, etc., but there was no large-scale army. "If it's the same as before, he can't stand it.

Yunqing said: "They don't have so much food and grass, so they can't send troops. "Without food and grass, there is no way to send troops.

The two discussed until dark, and Yun Qing said: "When Zao Zao is cured, I will take her to the ranch for a walk, and I will also go to the barracks to have a look." "This time, I came here to see the horses that Yunshan got from outside the pass, and secondly, to inspect the situation in the army.

Speaking of the horses in the pasture, Feng Dajun was very moved: "Lord Wang, the horse I got this time is really good." Many of my subordinates are too greedy to do so. Lord, you must leave me a few more horses when the time comes. ”

Yun Qing said: "Except for those who stayed for breeding, I will use the other horses to reorganize the cavalry. This means that this horse has no share.

When Feng Dajun heard that there was no horse, how could he be willing: "Lord Wang, you have to leave us thirty or forty horses." And I also made a package ticket with them, so I'll definitely get it for them. If I break my promise, I will have no prestige as a general. ”

Yun Qing still didn't know the temperament of Feng Dajun, and when he heard this, he said: "Twenty horses, no more." "Give it to the Feng army, and the other fifteen military camps will also give it. More than 300 good horses were removed at this time, and no more could be given.

Seeing this, Feng Dajun knew that there was no room for negotiation, and said: "Twenty horses is twenty horses, Lord Wang, can you let them pick them up when the time comes." ”

Yun Qing nodded and said, "This is okay." "The horses are right under their noses, and they have to give some concessions.

Although no one told the source of the horses, Feng Dajun roughly guessed what was going on. Feng Dajun not only didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, but said with some regret: "If we can have more good horses like this, we can form a strong cavalry, and we are no longer afraid of the cavalry of the northern captivity." "Back then, the cavalry captured in the north was their nightmare!

Yun Qing said with a calm face: "There will be one later." ”

When Feng Dajun heard this, he weighed it in his heart and asked, "Lord Wang, can you attack the Northern Captivity within three years?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "When I regain my vitality, I am ready to attack Jiangnan." "If next year can be the same as this year, it will be a bumper harvest year, then the year after next will be able to attack Jiangnan.

Feng Dajun's eyes lit up, and then he said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't go with the prince to fight Jiangnan." "He prefers to conquer cities than to defend them, which is more fulfilling.

Yunqing said: "Don't worry, there is always a chance." "The Feng army wants to defend the West Sea, and it will definitely not be able to participate in it when attacking Jiangnan.

Feng Dajun asked with a smile: "That feeling is good." Yunqing's tone also let him know that Yunqing also aims to make contributions in the whole world, so he is not worried about not having the opportunity to make contributions.

Zao Zao's body is good, and he got better on the second day after taking the medicine, and he was alive and kicking again on the third day. After another day of rest, Zao Zao said, "Dad, when are we going to the West Sea? I still have to catch swans for Liu'er!"

Yunqing smiled and said, "I'll go tomorrow." "Zaozao's illness has been cured, and it's time to go to the horse farm. The ranch is near the West Sea, and it is just right to take the jujube to the West Sea for a turn.

The father and daughter went to the horse farm first. Zao Zao saw so many horses, and his eyes lit up: "Dad, can I also choose a horse?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "The horses here are useful, I can't give them to you." "Zao Zao doesn't need a good horse here yet. Rather than keep him in a stable, let him go on the field to kill the enemy.

Seeing Zao Zao's disappointed face, Yun Qing said with a smile: "After four years, Dad will give you another horse." "Actually, Zao Zao already has a horse, and it is also a purebred horse, but that horse is a tame mare.

Zao Zao opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait." ”

Yunqing stayed at Zao Zao to watch the horses in the pasture, and then let Zao Zao learn how to raise horses and how to cultivate feelings with horses. Yunqing said: "On the battlefield, the horse is your closest and most trusted partner. So on weekdays, you must treat it well and treat it as a friend. ”

Zao Zao nodded again and again.

After staying in the racecourse for three days, Yunqing took the jujube to the West Sea.

Zao Zao rode to the shore of the lake and looked at the past, the clear lake water was rippling, the grassland was green like a blanket, and the herds of cattle and sheep fluttered like clouds on the horizon.

Looking at this picturesque scenery, Zao Zao couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so beautiful." After speaking, he looked at Yunqing on the side and said, "It's a pity that my mother and sister can't come over, otherwise, they are reluctant to go home." "Mother and Liu'er like the beautiful scenery the most.

Yunqing said with a smile: "When I am not busy in the future, I will take your mother and Liu'er to come here to play." ”

Zao Zao didn't refute it, but she felt that Yun Qing's words were difficult to fulfill. She couldn't know how busy her mother was.

At this time, several white swans flew in front of the dates. Zao jujube cheered loudly: "Dad, white swan, white swan." ”

Zao Zao looked at the white swan falling in the water seriously. As its name suggests, the goose is covered in white feathers and stretches its neck almost as long as it swims in the water. After falling into the water, he swims slowly and has a leisurely and complacent demeanor. Even if there are people on the shore of the lake, they are not afraid at all.

Yunqing said: "We can't catch the white swan, and I will send someone to catch it when the time comes." ”

Zao Zao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dad, if you catch them and bring them back to Pickaxe City, will they still be alive?" Don't bring back two dead geese, Liu Er will have something to say at that time.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "This swan won't go back with us, someone will send it back when the time comes." "If they take the white swans back, not to mention the delay, these swans will definitely die on the way.

Zao Zao nodded and said, "Dad, just bring two!"

Yun Qing touched the head of the jujube and said, "You say two, it's two." By the way, do you want to go fishing? The fish in here tastes very good. ”

Zao Zao is not interested in fishing, and he can't move for half a day, and he may not get anything after sitting for a long time: "Dad, why don't we go boating and fishing?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Forget it, when you learn to swim, you will row a boat to fish." "Zao Zao can't swim, and he can't either, so Yunqing doesn't want to go into the water.

Zao Zao was a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Yun Qing said with a smile: "Although we can't go down to row and fish, we can roast mutton on the shore." ”

Yunqing's roast mutton skills are still very good. At noon on this day, the jujube was eaten so that the stomach was round. Touching his stomach, Zao Zao said, "Dad, when you go back, you will also bake it for your mother and younger brother to eat." "Liu Er doesn't eat this kind of thing that is particularly angry, but Brother Hao likes to eat meat very much.

Yunqing was very happy, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
