Straight man of steel

Chapter 197
When Zhang Yuan rushed back to the barracks, everything was still operating according to the original plan.

The difference is that there is an additional group of cavalry trained outside the barracks.

Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao also happened to be outside, and when they saw Zhang Yuan galloping on horseback, they hurried up to meet him.

"Daxing asked you to go to Chang'an, did something happen?"

Zhang Yuan nodded solemnly.

"Come on, let's go to your military account to discuss this matter in detail."

"it is good."

The three of them each took a horse and galloped back to the barracks.

As soon as he entered the tent, Gongsun Ao asked hurriedly.

"Chang Shi, tell me quickly what happened?"

Wei Qing glanced at Gongsun Ao.

"Brother Yuan flew all the way back from Chang'an, I'm afraid he didn't even bother to drink his saliva.

Or let him take it easy. "

Zhang Yuan smiled, it is true that he has not bothered to drink saliva until now, the water outside is raw water, he only drinks boiled water.

Qi Menjun was also drinking boiling water in front of his eyes, so Zhang Yuan didn't mind, and took the kettle in front of Wei Qing's desk and filled it up.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Yuan took a breath.

"Okay, you two have to listen carefully next time.

Our Qimen army is about to set off. "

Next, Zhang Yuan told in detail what happened at Wang Hui's place yesterday and what happened at the court meeting today.

However, the piece that includes Jifu was not made clear to Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao.

"That's all. In the next month, I plan to change my training plan."

Both Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao had unacceptable expressions, as if Qimen Army must bear the blame.

"Brother Yuan, if this plan fails, Wang Hui will probably directly say that our Qimen army has missed something.

If it works, the Huns go crazy and we happen to be in the first place to bear the brunt. "

Zhang Yuan nodded and said.

"That's right, but I have a way to make this plan no matter whether it fails or succeeds, it will not harm our Qimen army.

The military order you set up to kill three thousand bandits can also be completed. "

Wei Qing showed joy on his face, he was not interested in other things and was most interested in this one.

"Brother Yuan, tell me and listen."

Zhang Yuan pretended to be unpredictable and shook his head.

"Now is not the time, wait until the grassland.

When the sky is high and the birds are flying and the sea is wide and the fish are leaping, I will tell you the plan in full.

Now let the soldiers slightly change the training plan.

From tomorrow, two groups of soldiers will be sent to hunt, and people outside the barracks will use wild animal fur to make clothes.

We're going to spend a long winter outside the pass, and it's much colder there than here.

In addition, part of the extra meat was transported to the Zhang Mansion and part was kept outside the camp for the women to dry and pickle into dried meat. Then they would all have to be taken north.

The cattle and sheep His Majesty gave us are for the Huns to show off, not for us to eat. "

"Brother Yuan said that these things can be done by ourselves, so there is no need to ask the Chinese Army.

But this time we really want to bring thousands of people outside the camp to the grassland? "

Wei Qing was extremely reluctant to take these people along. Although part of the reason was that he felt that these people would be a burden, but more importantly, once the war broke out, no one would be able to protect them at that time.

"We must take them with us. If we don't take them with us this time, they will also be executed by strict laws as soon as we leave.

And our Qimen army will also be caught by others. "

Why is Zhang Yuan willing to bring these ordinary people with him? If he wanted to blame him, he could only blame Liu Che, Wang Hui and others for being cold-hearted and not treating people as human beings.

"Hey, that's it, I'll go down to supervise the training first.

Regarding the change of the training plan, Brother Gongsun, please go and inform those military officers. "

Gongsun Ao bowed his head in agreement, and then withdrew from the military tent, and Zhang Yuan also left and went back to his own military tent to rest.

One month passed very quickly, and slowly the departure time agreed by Zhang Yuan and Liu Che arrived.

There was no one to see them off, only a thousand cows and potatoes were sent from all directions, and the five thousand sheep would not be given to the Qimen army until they arrived in Mayi.

Getting the cattle first is all about relying on these cattle to transport the supplies to the north.

Two days ago, the horseshoes made of fine steel had already been replaced by the [-] horses of the Qimen Army.

Weapons such as crossbows will not be delivered until the beginning of spring.

Looking at the long line behind him, Zhang Yuan couldn't help sighing a little. He didn't know how many people would come back after this trip went to the grassland, including himself.

"It's getting late, it's time to set off, set off."

Wei Qing brandished his horsewhip, and with a sound of pulling away, the fate of these [-] people was moved to the north.

The army had to go straight east, along the Weishui River all the way to Chuansikong County, and then go north along the Fenshui River to reach Yanmen County.

Therefore, Wei Qing intentionally bypassed Zhang's mansion on the marching route of the army, and went directly from the south of Lantian Mountain. This was also to prevent Zhang Yuan from being too sad.

From Lantian to Yanmen County, it took nearly half a month to stop and stop along the way.

The weather is getting colder and colder. During this process, the soldiers took off their military uniforms early and changed into warm and comfortable leather clothes.

At present, outsiders can only tell that this team is an army by the uniform movements of the Qimen army.

It takes a section of the Great Wall from Taiyuan County to Yanmen County. This section of the Great Wall can be regarded as the last line of defense for the Han army against the Huns.

Zhang Yuan saw from the map that continuing north, there was another Great Wall in Yanmen County.

It may be that he was shocked by the Ming Great Wall that later generations saw. At this time, Zhang Yuan did not feel amazed when he suddenly saw the Great Wall of Han.

"This section of the Great Wall has been built since the time of Empress Lu, and now it has grown to a certain scale. It can reach Beidi County in the north, and goes all the way to the sea in the south.

It's just a shame that we should have built the Great Wall in the enemy's hinterland, but now we have built the Great Wall on our own territory to protect the Han people.

What a shame that this place is three hundred miles away from the Great Wall that was repaired by the previous dynasty. "

When Wei Qing talked about the situation on the Great Wall, he was very indignant, and so was Zhang Yuan, but sooner or later this situation will be completely changed.

"There is no need for the general to be indignant, to wash away the shame, it has already started from now on.

With the general around, within ten years, there would be no Huns within a thousand miles north of Yanmen. "

Zhang Yuan was very sure that with his presence, the process of the Han's attack on the Xiongnu would be greatly accelerated.

"Okay, you and my brother will definitely gallop on the grassland in this lifetime, without seeing a trace of the Huns."

Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan clapped their palms on their horses, but Gongsun Ao looked slightly disappointed.
