Chapter 25 School Examination
"Oh, it seems that the Huns are also good at learning. It's just that our charcoal smelting and steel drawing wire are all high-tech things. They learn some of the manufacturing methods of the Han army, and it will not have a qualitative effect on the equipment.
Our army, excluding firearms, does not count. From equipment training to logistical supply, a system has been formed. This Hun can't learn," Yun Xiao said with a sip of wine and pretending to be relaxed.
The Yun family is improving, and the Huns are also improving. A stirrup alone freed the hands of the cavalry. The resulting military changes should never be underestimated.
"Yes! The Huns are now sending troops, and they still carry a large number of cattle and sheep with them as supplies. If you want to ride away from the Chinese army, you should carry some jerky cheese and other things. These things may last for ten days and half a month, and it is absolutely difficult to last without looting.
Donghu is not better than the Han realm, and there are villages everywhere. It is easy to obtain supplies such as grain and straw, and the land of Donghu is vast and sparsely populated. If they adopt the method of the Han realm, they will not be brilliant at all. This time the Huns came to attack Donghu, and nothing else. This supply alone cost them their lives. It's cold and snowy, whether you want to eat or not, you have to burn it or not. No need to fight, they will collapse on their own. ”
Old Batu obviously didn't take the injury on his arm seriously, and he took a big sip of "Bang" and drank a large bowl of wine. The maid next to her added another bowl with a very eye-catching eye.
The banquet was a success, although there was a lot of commotion outside. But at least there was a lot less tension in the palace, and the guards took turns sleeping. After Yun Xiao and Yin Yin washed, they were also settled.
"Hey! Batu is old, I think it will be better to hand over the matter here to Ba Zhen. Yun Xiao hugged Yin Yin's slippery and greasy body, and said with some worry.
"Batu is just a little injured, not really. The slave family saw that his body was still strong, and it was not impossible to support him for another ten or eight years. Yin Yin was a little taken aback and got up. A pair of eyes gleamed in the darkness.
"Lian is quite old. Today he specially drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl in front of me. It is to show that he is strong and can take on great responsibilities. But think about it, a man who was originally as strong as a bear. Do you still use it to express to others that you are strong? By doing so, he proved that he knew in his heart that he was old.
This person, the person who knows best is himself. The person who knows the least is also himself. This time I went to pacify the rebel tribes of Donghu. Take those sons of Batu to see them. Eggs can't be put in one basket, you have to be prepared.
I'm not saying that Batu's sons would rebel, they all spent their childhood in Yunjia Zhuangzi. has this friendship with the Yun family, as long as there is no major turmoil, they will definitely not oppose it. I'm worried about the next generation, who haven't suffered the same hardships as their parents. Ignorant of the preciousness of freedom and life, such a child is born in a wealthy family. often has a low eye, and becomes a gentleman. ”
"My husband is right. Except for the eldest grandson, the rest of the children of the Batu family are like wild donkeys. In addition to being afraid of our family's Ao Er Cong'er. It was very rude to treat the officials of Zhangye City. The slave family disciplined him several times. This has only converged a bit, and now they are all thirteen or fourteen-year-old hairy boys. When I get older, I really don't know how to teach. ”
Yin Yin was a little worried, those grandsons of the Batu family. Now it is already a major scourge in Zhangye City, and the officials dare not manage the people, and they dare not complain. Old Batu is also powerless if he wants to manage it, but Batu's sons are still very protective. Yin Yin also made difficulties, and the punishment was light and useless. On the contrary, it fueled their arrogance, and the punishment was severe. You also have to take care of Batu's face. It's also a headache for these kids.
"It's okay, just give them a position in the army. When I went back to the Great King City. I'll take it away. If he is a monkey, can he still run out of the palm of my Buddha! ”
"What is Sun Monkey? What is a Buddha? Yin Yin's big eyes blinked, and she asked inexplicably.
Zhangye City made a fuss for more than ten days, and then it gradually subsided. The commander of the forbidden army exchanged hundreds of heads for his own black yarn.
Especially in a farm outside Zhangye City, the person in charge was the small nobles of Donghu in the past. It was slaughtered by thousands of forbidden soldiers overnight. The crime is to collude with the Huns. Whoever is accused of this crime in Zhangye City today will not be able to escape the doom of a knife.
As for those Hun merchants, they were even more miserable. I don't know if it's for the purpose of killing people for money, or out of the responsibility to complete the mission. More than 130 Hun merchants were slaughtered. I heard that even toddlers in swaddling clothes. They were all thrown to the ground and trampled to death.
The violent machine was forced to eat people in a hurry, and Yun Xiao remembered the severe beatings of later generations. In those years, how many people were shot for a trivial matter. Seeing that things were about to reach the level of the Witch Gu Rebellion, Yun Xiao categorically called a halt. Ordered, the forbidden army strictly guarded the palace. It is no longer possible to hunt down the Huns and spies in the name of indiscriminate killing.
After more than ten days in Zhangye City, Yun Xiao led his army to the border between Donghu and the Xiongnu. The ranks were huge, and Batu's sons and grandsons, who were over ten years old, accompanied the expedition. Naturally, Yun Ao and Yun Yan are also in the team.
50,000 Donghu Jing cavalry and 10,000 Yun family guards, forming a mighty cavalry team. Unexpectedly, Dayuanjun was left behind in Zhangye to assist in the defense of Zhangye City. They were infantry, and this time it was a cavalry battle. With them, it will only drag them back.
The chariots and horses were scorching, and the army was like a whirlwind running over the grassland in late autumn. The weeds were yellow, and the galloping horses looked like landslides and tsunamis.
Having never led such a large army, Yun Xiao couldn't help but feel a little stunned. If it were in the future life, ** would have been sent countless times. But now, although the scenery is beautiful, there is always a feeling of night walking in brocade.
The two sons were on the side, and Yun Ao was like a leopard out of the cage. The energetic head rushed back and forth, as if he stopped for a while and felt uncomfortable. The jujube red horse under the crotch has already run out of the full, and this kid seems to be full of strength.
Yun Yan was a little pitiful, and the fur on her whole body wrapped her whole body like a house sparrow. There was a thick quilt on the saddle under the crotch, but the more the quilt was padded. The more unsteady he was on the horse, the more unsteady this kid swayed left and right on the horse's back, Yun Xiao was very worried that this kid would accidentally fall off the horse.
Yan Xian spoiled this child, and only knew how to study every day. It seems that his body is not as good as when he first came to Dahan, and he is so weak that he can't speak. Let him endure hardships, the young eagle will not become an eagle soaring in the sky without being beaten.
"Bahrain, go and remove the things from the second son's saddle for me. What does it look like to sway from side to side, and it is a matter of course to ride a horse and grind the crotch of your pants. is so delicate and does not withstand wind and rain, how can it take on great things in the future. ”
"No!" The black iron tower-like Bahrain responded and galloped towards Yunyan. grabbed Yun Yan and pressed it on the horse's back, and reached out to tear off the brocade quilt. Then put Yunyan rag dolls on it, and the whole process went smoothly. Yun Xiao believed that even if he let his two armies capture the enemy general in front of the formation. Also a good hand.
"Daddy, doesn't the second brother ride a horse in Dawang City?" Yun Ao was curious about Yun Yan's weakness, and when he was four years old, Batu put him on horseback. Even Yun Cong is now able to ride a pony. It seems that Yunyan can't ride a horse.
"Over the years, my father has been fighting from east to west, ignoring your second brother's education. However, your second brother has read a lot of books, and you have exercised your strong body with Batu on the grassland. But your knowledge is nowhere near as good as that of your second brother. A person with a strong physique can only be called a strong person at best. A person who has a strong body and an unpretentious mind will be a king wherever he goes. You remember the words of your father, and you will rule this landscape in the future. It is still necessary to read and write more. ”
"But father, I don't want to read those square words. Batu said that the dominance of the steppe can be achieved by means of bows and arrows and swords. What is that thing called wisdom that you are talking about? How do I get it? ”
"If you want to gain wisdom, you need to read more. Bows and sabers are just tools, and these two things arm your hands. What can arm your mind, and you will only rush and kill when you are in battle. It's okay if you have more soldiers than others, but what if you have fewer soldiers than your opponent? What if your soldiers can't beat the other side? ”
"If I can't beat me, I'll run, Batu said that he knows that he is invincible on the grassland. There is no shame in retreating first. ”
"But you always have things you can't lose, like your mother. Your brother, and your people. ”
Then the boy took up his saber and fought with them. Yun Ao's little face was puffed up, and he looked like he was fighting to the death with the enemy.
"Yun Yan, if you encounter such a situation. How should you? Yun Xiao turned his head and asked Yun Yan.
The generals all understood that this was the homework of Yun Hou's two sons in the examination school. Hurriedly pricked up their ears and listened, they wanted to know who could get Yun Xiao's favor more in the first competition between the two sons.
"If I'm weaker than my opponent, I'll lay a trap. Lure enemies to their death and then annihilate them. Yun Yan thought for a moment and said with a small mouth.
"Oh, what is death again?" Yun Xiao asked Yun Yan with a smile.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War said: If you fight, you will survive, and if you don't fight, you will die." Canghu said that his father liked to shoot traps and ambush the most. The son believed that this was due to the fact that his father's army was often weaker than the enemy's. ”
It's very good, the little guy also knows how to draw inferences, which makes Yun Xiao quite happy.
"Humph! The warriors on the grassland rely on real kung fu with real swords and guns. How can you rely on those tricks and deceit to kill your opponents with dignity and integrity? How can these means be used? Xiao Yunao seemed to have forgotten what he had just said, and was quite disdainful of Yun Yan's answer.
"Huh! You are a bachelor, but you don't know if you are like what you say, you don't know how long you will be dead for your father. How can there be you in this world? The soldier is treacherous! Yun Ao remembers this sentence and always remembers it. Otherwise, one day you will lose badly. (To be continued......)
