Chapter 618 (1/2)
It's late at night, and the continuous barracks are quiet. In the evening, the north wind gradually rises. By midnight, the whole river is full of strong wind, and the original pleasant temperature suddenly makes people feel the cold in winter and spring. Fortunately, Lu Kui had made preparations for the arrival of the late spring cold, so that the army arrived at hexingyuan, built a camp, and took many measures to keep out the cold, but there was no need to worry about too many people being infected with the cold, resulting in non war casualties.
”Thanks to Lu Shuai's foresight, he let the rear army of Changqing escort the supplies, and the whole army rushed to hexingyuan village. If we are still on the road now, we don't know how many soldiers will fall ill because of the sudden drop in temperature. ” In the hexingyuan fortress, there is a relatively intact stone house, which is the temporary residence of Lu que. Mo Yingxing, who just wanted Lu que to report his encampment, listened to the wind of tiger roaring outside the stone house and said with lingering fear.
While looking at the military newspapers coming from all over southern Xinjiang in the afternoon, Lu que said, ”my mentor once said that you can't be handsome if you don't know the time, the location and the people. Although I think I have many shortcomings, I have to be taught by my teacher and my father. I still know a little about the change of astronomical phenomena and the way of Lianshan's return to Tibet. Moreover, this time, the north wind is going south very fast, and the change of astronomical phenomena is obvious. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't see that the temperature will drop suddenly with my subtle trick. ”
”Marshal Lu is too modest.” Mo Yingxing looked at Lu que, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.
In terms of seniority, he and Lu Chun and Bai Lijia have known each other since they were in the Academy. They can be regarded as Lu Que's uncle and father, but he didn't mean to despise Lu que at all. After such a long time of contact, he found that Lu que was very different from other military commanders he had met.
Lu que is low-key, modest, kind and quiet. It's hard to imagine that such a young man is actually the commander-in-chief of more than one million troops in southern Xinjiang. However, there is a kind of reassuring and trusting power in him, which affects the people around him to follow him voluntarily and step by step to victory, including himself.
In Mo Yingxing's eyes, although Lu Que and his father Lu Chun are father and son, they are two completely different temperament. If he chooses one person to follow, he would choose Lu Chun who is brave and always wins. Now, he would choose Lu que who listens to thunder from a silent place and forces the enemy to a desperate situation.
However, there is something wrong with Lu que. Lu que is so thoughtful that he can't even find a place to check the remains. Just like before, he wanted to remind Lu que that the celestial phenomena are about to change, but before he said it, Lu que had already made the most correct arrangement, which made it impossible for him to play. Although he is now a commander of the Changqing army and a commander in chief of the southern Xinjiang government, he can only assist Lu Que in dealing with some military chores. However, seeing that the leaders of the next generation are growing up so rapidly, he is also happy to do something relatively easy for him as a veteran in the army.
”Well, let's not talk about that.” Lu que raised his head, waved his hand and said, ”Mr. Mo, you've been working hard all day. Now it's getting late. We'd better go back and have a rest early. We'll probably have to have a rest in hexingyuan for three days. When the cold wind passes and the Changqing Houjun arrives, we'll go to Xiaogushan to join the 50000 Huxiao troops.”
”I see. Lu Shuai also went to bed earlier. You are still young, and your body has not fully grown up. Staying up late for a long time has a great influence on your body.” Mo Yingxing saw that Lu que once again dropped his eyes on the pile of letter eagles on the desk and said with concern.
”Thank you for reminding me. I know.” Lu que nodded with a smile, but his eyes did not leave the silk.
Looking at Lu Que's appearance, Mo Yingxing shakes his head and sighs. However, he knows that he can't persuade Lu que. Even his fiancee Gu Qingcheng can't persuade Lu que. When Mo Yingxing thinks about it, even the eldest princess in the imperial capital and the Duke of Wei in Northern Xinjiang can't persuade Lu que. It seems that he doesn't care about anything, but when he wants to do something, We must be the best.
Looking at Mo Yingxing's back, Lu que shakes his head with a smile. Stand up to light up some of the lights, and pick up a few pieces of paper to block the air leakage gap of the window. The original wooden windows of this stone house have been rotten because of time, and now they are all made by craftsmen in the army after the arrival of the army.
Just because of the rush of time, there are still some gaps that can let the cold wind blow into the room. Although Lu Que's current cultivation can't completely prevent the invasion of cold and heat, there is no problem with his coolness. The reason why he blocks the gap is that the wind always makes the lights shake, which affects him to see things.
In a twinkling of an eye, two days later, the north wind that blew for two days and two nights slowed down slightly. On this day, the Changqing rear army led by duanmuye and Lin Qingyu also arrived at hexingyuan. However, compared with the soldiers who arrived at hexingyuan before, their faces were a little pale, It can be seen that it is not an easy thing to escort military funds used by hundreds of thousands of troops in the cold wind.
”General Duanmu, general Lin, how are your soldiers doing?” Duanmuye and Lin Qingyu come to the temporary mansion to hand in orders to Lu que. But before they speak, Lu que asks.
Seeing the military adviser Mo Yingxing sitting at the left head, Duanmu ye and Lin Qingyu also understand why Lu que didn't call them the same as before. They looked at each other. With Duanmu Ye's eye, Lin Qingyu arched his hand and said, ”report to commander-in-chief, because it rained day after day, and the road was very muddy and difficult to walk, A few grain wagons were trapped in blisters. Most of the soldiers who got off to tow the grain wagons were infected with cold. In addition, the rest of the soldiers were in good health. They could take a rest for a few days with something to drive away the cold. ”
”That's good.” Lu nodded and said to Mo Yingxing, ”Mr. Mo, send a military doctor to the Changqing rear army to treat the sick soldiers, and then make some ginseng tea and ginger soup to burn some hot water. After the soldiers have used it, take a hot bath and have a rest.”
”Don't worry, commander-in-chief. I've already arranged for it.” Mo Yingxing answered, looking at duanmuye and Lin Qingyu, and asked, ”all the generals and soldiers are really working hard. General Lin and Duanmu, I don't know if you have any needs. If you have any, just mention them. The commander-in-chief's office will try to meet them.”
”This ~” when duanmuye and Lin Qingyu heard Mo Yingxing say this, they couldn't help looking at Lu que. Seeing Lu que smile and nod, duanmuye said, ”commander in chief, we've been sleeping in the open these days, and we haven't eaten very well. Can we get some meat to reward us tonight? Of course, if we have wine, it's better. We've been blowing in the cold wind for two days, Wine is just right for the cold. ”
”There's no problem with meat and broth, but there's no problem with wine,” said Mo Yingxing. He can't help but look at Lu's lack of wine. ”The army's law is to ban alcohol in wartime. He really can't make this decision. Moreover, there are more than 30000 people in the army after the evergreen army. Even if the prohibition is removed temporarily, there is not so much wine in the army.”
Lu que naturally understood Mo Yingxing's meaning. After thinking about it, he said, ”it's an iron rule to ban alcohol in the army in wartime. But now the army hasn't arrived in xuan'an county. It's not a state of war. You can make some modifications. How many drinks does Mo have in the army?”
