The dog days in the south are maddening, and after gathering troops in Yongzhou, Tang Ning is also struggling with whether to march or not.

The wave-like twisted heat writhed unscrupulously on the earth, and if there was a gust of wind, a suffocating heat wave was coming.

The soldiers' movements during training were slightly sluggish because of the hot weather, and even the most heat-tolerant people were already sweating when they moved in this weather.

Yongzhou Zhizhou has a two-handed, eight-character mustache and deep nasolabial folds, and looks like a very serious person, but he is unexpectedly easy to get along with.

Tang Ning led the rest of his subordinates to Yongzhou, and Zhizhou immediately went out to greet him. Many of the people in Yongzhou are busy farming, and the rest of the people have nothing to do, and they all come out to see the excitement.

After hearing that this army was here to conquer Jiaozhi, they were overjoyed and sent condolences to the Zhenjiang army one by one.

Things are not valuable, what is valuable is this affection. After the Zhenjiang army shirked to no avail, they had no choice but to accept it.

Downing, dressed in a single coat, sat in the shade of the camp with his eyes closed and motionless. Pei Xiantong sat beside him, holding Tang Ning's fan and fanning himself constantly.

Her cheeks were slightly red because of the heat.

Shen Qian sat on the other side and said weakly: "How could the official family think of sending troops at this time...... Didn't he know that this was the hottest time? ”

"The official family chose to send troops at this time because of his considerations." Tang Ning said in a sullen voice: "The sooner you gather troops in Yongzhou, the greater the reaction on the Jiaozhi side.

When the Jiaozhi people gathered heavy troops on the border of Yongzhou, the first attack launched by the Champa side had a chance to succeed.

Our battlefield is not a Thang Long province or a Phu Liang River, but the whole of Cochin.

After the Champa gained the upper hand, we remained unmoved. Knowing that the Cochins who were attacked in the rear would have other thoughts. The enemy's morale is shaken, while our army is recharged.

In this way, you can capture the Fuliang River in one go and gain a foothold before you can launch the offensive against Thang Long Mansion in the future. ”

"I see." Shen Qian nodded, and then raised his thumb and said: "I found that you are really born with this talent, I only thought half of what you said, it seems that this is the gap between me and you!" ”

"Actually, I was told by a letter from Master Zeng before I left." Tang Ning scratched his cheeks a little embarrassed and said, "The battle plan finally drawn up by the Privy Council is to let the Champa State take the lead in attacking, and then we will wait for the opportunity to move." ”

As soon as Shen Qian heard this, the admiration that had just appeared on his face instantly turned into nothing, and he rolled his eyes and said, "It's really yours!" Then he closed his eyes and continued to learn from Tang Ning's calm and naturally cool appearance.

Tang Ning saw that Pei Xiantong's hot breathing was a little heavy, and he looked like he was about to suffer from heat stroke, so he stood up and said, "Follow me." ”

With that, he led Pei Xiantong towards a tent that was completely placed in the woods.

Before I even went in, I felt a burst of coolness. Pei Xiantong was surprised: "This."

It's so cool! What's going on? How so? ”

Tang Ning smiled: "You will know when you go in." ”

Pei Xiantong didn't hesitate at all, opened the curtain and rushed in.

After entering, Pei Xiantong found that this camp tent was exaggerated.

Downing's tent should be the largest of all the tents, but the scale of this tent is as large as two.

There were many people working shirtless, Pei Xiantong saw that a person was constantly adding things to a half-person-wide wooden barrel, and there were people by the well who kept drawing water, and after filling a wooden barrel, he moved to the other person's side.

Pei Xiantong glanced at the wooden barrel that was placed on the side, reached out curiously and touched the contents of it, and then immediately withdrew his hand, and said excitedly: "It's ice!" It's ice! ”

Then she ran to Tang Ning's side, winked at Tang Ning and asked with her big eyes, "What's going on?" Is ice making here? ”

"This neighborhood was originally a village, but unfortunately the well dried up, and the villagers had to move out. After they came to Gao Shu before, they thought that this place was too hot, and they had to find a way, at least to find a water source near the left.

So they dug the well a lot deeper, but fortunately, the land was given face, and the well water came out again.

It wasn't so hot when we arrived two days ago, and it was maddening to be hot since last night. I thought about it and thought that this would not work, so I asked them to build a big tent here to make ice.

However, the efficiency is not very good, and after a busy morning, you can also see it, and there are only five or six barrels that come out, which are not enough for the brothers.

I'm still thinking about giving each of the brothers a whole bowl of sour plum soup with ice at noon. ”

Pei Xiantong licked his lips and said, "Dog officer! I'm going to drink sour plum soup with ice! ”

"You yourself also know medical skills, don't you know that girls can't drink cold things? Qi Xianyu was in Kaifeng Mansion, and when it was the hottest, she only put ice packs on her forehead, and she never put cold things in her mouth. ”

"Good! You're really entangled with that bodhisattva in the flesh!

Oh! I see, your faceless lady is her, isn't it! ”

"We're talking about not eating cold food, so why are you talking about it! Anyway, I wanted to ask you a long time ago, did you know Sister Yu early on? ”

"Humph! She blatantly seduces men everywhere, and it's hard to know her! I reminded you when I was in Yinling Town, why didn't you take what I said seriously? ”

"No......" Tang Ning scratched his head vigorously, not knowing what to say.

The soldiers in the big tent suddenly moved slowly, and just now they were crackling, but now they became audible, and everyone was listening to the gossip of the general.

Tang Ning said angrily: "Give me a good job!" The rest of the brothers are still waiting for you to make them ice and drink the sour plum soup! ”

After the soldiers were reprimanded by Tang Ning, they stuck out their tongues and continued to work hard to make ice.

Ning whispered to Pei Xiantong: "There may be some misunderstanding here...... When I was with Sister Yu, she was still a virgin......"

"Really, fake." Pei Xiantong looked incredulous.

"What are you lying to do?" Tang Ning blinked: "Although I don't care if she is or not, I can't joke about people's innocence, right?" ”

"That's not right......" Pei Xiantong looked puzzled: "Then I always saw her before......"

"Don't mention the previous things, Sister Yu didn't do it by herself. is powerless to break the game in the game, and she herself is very helpless.

In the future, everyone will be a family, don't always think about other people's black history, such a life is not happy. ”

"Humph! Just you can talk! ”

Although Pei Xiantong did not respond to Tang Ning positively, her attitude also showed that she was also trying to change her mind.

Then Pei Xiantong returned the fan to Tang Ning, saying that she was going to stay here and not leave.

Tang Ning said whatever you want, then opened the folding fan, swayed out of the big tent, and together with Lin Wei, began to inspect the soldiers who were training.

There are many new recruits in the Zhenjiang army, and there are many of them, who are local soldiers in Yongzhou. In order to ensure that they can play a role in the upcoming Song-Yue War, even on hot dog days, they have to be trained,

At Downing's suggestion, the soldiers were uniformly dressed as shorts and a pair of shoes. The rest of the area is exposed, and those who behave well can be doused from head to toe by the instructor.

For this scoop of water, the soldiers and recruits involved in the training are all riveting to strive for a trace of coolness in the hot summer, as for whether anyone wants to get the iced sour plum soup in the coach's hand, it is another matter.

Several veterans squatted in the shade and watched the recruits train with iced sour plum soup, and from time to time they stretched out their fingers to point.

Finally, a recruit couldn't help it, jumped out and said loudly: "Why do you have cold sour plum soup to drink, and we don't?" It's not fair! ”

The instructor frowned and said, "Before you speak, you have to say the report, have you forgotten what you were taught?" Go to the school field and run two laps and come back and ask Lao Tzu! ”

Although the recruit was reluctant, he was afraid of the majesty of the instructor, and still gritted his teeth and went to run in circles.

After he left, the instructor snorted and said, "I know that many of you are dissatisfied, and I don't want to satisfy you.

Although this is just a bowl of chilled sour plum soup, they bought it with blood and sweat!

If you eggs can survive in an environment like the Battle of Xiaoguan, don't say it's this iced sour plum soup, even if you want to chill Lao Tzu's head, Lao Tzu will give it up!

A group of people don't have the ability, but there are a lot of dissatisfaction. Tell you, it is your blessing to be able to join the Zhenjiang Army, where can you find such a good general for you anywhere else?

It's all bad stuff, me! ”
