Quan Yutianxia GL

Because she rested very late, Chuning also woke up very late the next day. When she finished washing and walked out of the tent, Liu Changgui and Sun Xing were already carrying out drills with their soldiers.

The drills of the Guards and People's Army are carried out every day, rain or shine, even if they marched all the way recently, they have never missed a day.It usually starts with queue training, followed by weapons tactics and physical training.

Formation training includes individual formation and large and small battle formation formation, as well as the mixed battle formation of Xuanjia Division and String Control Division. Weapon tactics mainly train individual tactics and mixed tactics of far and near. Physical training includes push-ups and sit-ups. Sitting, 100-meter sprint, combined physical training, etc., if it is usual in the Donglai camp, there will be five-kilometer or ten-kilometer cross-country training every three to five.

During training in the past, Shen Teng would always look for opportunities to peek, but today Shen Teng did not show up. Instead, Gao Zhimin accompanied Xiao Hongfei and other generals, standing outside the training ground, talking and laughing.

Chuning took a few mouthfuls of the steamed buns from Liang Chunhua, took Feng Jiuqing and a group of guards, and hurried over.

When Chu Ning approached, Liu Changgui had already been called to the side, and he didn't know what to ask, and Gao Zhimin heard from a distance: "Chu Zhaoyi's subordinates are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, unexpectedly there is someone like Liu Junhou."

Liu Changgui turned his back to the direction where Chu Ning came, and didn't know what was going on behind him. He just bowed his hands and said in a salute, "It's all thanks to General Chu's cultivation that we have the last general today."

However, Gao Zhimin saw Chu Ning, but did not greet him. Instead, he continued to talk to Liu Changgui: "That's right, gather refugees, train troops, suppress bandits and build roads...Chu Zhaoyi is a daughter, and she acts with extraordinary style. Boys are also inferior..."

Although it sounded like a compliment, the words sounded wrong, so Liu Changgui didn't answer, but Gao Zhimin said again: "Today I also saw the soldiers under General Xiao's command. During daily training, everyone has never put on armor like you, and the armor and weapons in Chu Zhaoyi's hands are all extraordinary..."

Chu Ning sneered repeatedly in his heart, but stared at Gao Zhimin without making a sound, and listened to Liu Changgui's response: "Daily training is a rule set by General Chu, and I, as a lowly official and the last general, must respect the general's order. As for Bingjia The last general doesn’t understand about ordnance, if General Gao has any doubts, you might as well go to General Chu and ask him.”

"The general is right here. If General Gao has any doubts, just tell him what to say." After speaking, Chu Ning stood with his hands behind his back and told Liu Changgui, "Go down first, and stop after training for enough time."

Liu Changgui took the order to retreat, and Gao Zhimin didn't speak anymore. Chu Ning looked at Xiao Hongfei, who had been smiling all the time, and glanced at the other generals who accompanied him, and said calmly: "The sons under Chu's command are all fighting bravely. The enemy, the good boy who protects the family and the country, they are not afraid of life and death, and they fight bloody battles. Naturally, Chu will not be stingy with these military equipment money. But General Gao’s words are very inappropriate. Do you want to misunderstand that I only eat the imperial food and don't know how to do errands, so I lose cities and lands one after another?"

Compared with Gao Zhimin's obscure and provocative words, Chu Ning just waved a big stick to defeat a group of people, especially the several generals under Xiao Hongfei's command, changed their faces on the spot, and stared at Gao Zhimin with unfriendly expressions , I thought to myself, no wonder this person has been talking in a strange way, so he was secretly mocking our lack of military training, embezzlement of military equipment, not even a woman, so he lost the city.

Being biased by Chu Ning's unreasonable words, Gao Zhimin immediately sensed something wrong with his words. His original intention was to remind Xiao Hongfei and others to be careful of Chu Ning's well-armored and well-equipped army, lest they be caught He took the credit and the position, but he didn't expect that when Chuning said that, the whole meaning changed completely.

At this point, Gao Zhimin finally understood that the cowardice and greed for money that this female general had shown along the way were all making false claims with him.

Before today, Gao Zhimin had always thought that he was sure of everything, but now, on the face of this light-faced girl, he saw a bit of publicity and calmness that was completely out of her age.

Zhang Yang is because the elite soldiers under her command are brave and good at fighting, and they have the confidence to make Zhang Yang.

But where does this calmness come from?Did she already know about the situation in Youzhou?He had colluded with Xiao Hongfei a long time ago, so when he arrived here, he changed his face?

Gao Zhimin paused for a moment, then changed his expression, pretending to remember something important and leave.

Looking at the back of Gao Zhimin leaving in a hurry, Xiao Hongfei was thoughtful, and said earnestly to Chu Ning: "I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. General Chu will punish him to the end."

"Anyone who deserves to be offended will definitely be offended, whether he is a gentleman or a villain." Chuning said calmly: "In the face of absolute strength, no matter whether a gentleman or a villain, no matter whether he is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, he will be wiped out."

"Chu Zhaoyi's self-confident appearance reminds me of an old friend from back then." Xiao Hongfei couldn't help showing a bit of nostalgia on his face as he spoke, but he restrained it just a little bit, reminding him. Said: "No matter what, there is no big mistake in being careful, Chu Zhaoyi should pay more attention."

Without waiting for Chu Ning to respond, Xiao Hongfei changed the subject: "It's impolite to come and not to go. Since this general has seen Chu Zhaoyi's elite soldiers, Chu Zhaoyi should follow this general. With knowledge, maybe you can come up with some strange tricks for me to defeat the enemy."

"The general dares not refuse the general's invitation." Chu Ning said with a smile, and went to their camp with Xiao Hongfei and other generals.

Since Xiao Hongfei had a lot of people under his control, the drills were conducted in batches. Different from the multiple trainings of the guards, they only had regular equipment training, divided into five battalions of swords and shields, swords, spears, bows, and crossbows.

There are three types of shields: iron shield, cowhide shield, and wooden shield. Spears, bows, and crossbows are also common weapons on the battlefield today, but Chuning did not expect to see sword soldiers who had long been eliminated from the battlefield here.

"The shield battalion is the main battalion of our army. In addition to the shield, each shield soldier also has a leather armor and a ring sword." Xiao Hongfei took the initiative to introduce to Chuning: "And swords, spears, bows, crossbows Among the soldiers of the four battalions, only the elite spearmen are equipped with rhinoceros leather armor, and the other ordinary soldiers are only equipped with wooden armor and weapons."

"That is to say, except for the shield battalion, the other soldiers only have one pair of armor and one weapon." Chuning asked: "Then, in these five battalions, how many soldiers are there in each battalion... Uh, this Can I ask a question? If it's inconvenient, the general doesn't have to tell me."

"There are more than [-] sword and shield soldiers, [-] crossbow soldiers, [-] bow soldiers, and [-] spear soldiers. The rest are all sword soldiers." Three frontier generals were placed in each county, each stationed in the main city, each in charge of food, salaries and weapons. This year, Xianbei took the lead in attacking several cities in a row. Of the [-] or so soldiers, except for the [-] from the headquarters, the rest are mostly remnants of the other two retreated troops, and some are homeless refugees."

When Deng Tong heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Hongfei, thinking that there were still [-] sets of armor, why did General Xiao keep it secret?Could it be that he was afraid that Chu Zhaoyi would leak military information?

Chu Ning didn't know what Deng Tong was thinking. When she heard what Xiao Hongfei said, she immediately felt admiration.On the one hand, I respect him for being able to act in adversity and gather remnants of soldiers and refugees when the enemy's army is overwhelming.Second, respect him for being good at soldiers and battles. With these simple weapons and defeated generals, more than 3 Xianbei cavalry were dragged across the river bank, and they are still not close.

Although he didn't know why he lost the city in the first place, Chu Ning felt that Xiao Hongfei was a real general.

"General Gao Yi!" Chu Ning said in awe, "In times of war like this, the general never forgets to gather the refugees. He is indeed a model for us soldiers!"

"Hahaha, save the good words for later." Xiao Hongfei laughed, looked at Chuning meaningfully, and then said: "Gao Zhimin and this general were old acquaintances, and this general is very clear about his nature. I will not take what he said in my heart, but after seeing these remnants and defeated generals, Chu Zhaoyi must show some sincerity in order to convince these brothers, right?"

Chu Ning spread his hands and said, "General, let's say it clearly, what kind of sincerity can you convince your colleagues?"

"Your heavy armor with only eyes exposed will look very pleasing to the eye, how about a thousand sets first?" Xiao Hongfei smiled like a fox, and offered a price: "There is also the kind that your archers wear, which can cover shoulders." Three thousand sets of light armour, isn’t too much for me? In addition, your horns/bows/crossbows seem to have a better range and lethality than those made by the imperial examination room. Give me a thousand sets... ...Well, that's it for now."

"A set of 120 guan for heavy armor, a set of [-] guan for sleeve armor, and [-] guan for horn/bow/crossbow. This is the cost price." Chu Ning stretched out his hand and asked, "Total [-] million guan, what is General Xiao's current price?" Just give money?"

"..."

Xiao Hongfei wanted to vomit blood a little bit, this kid was too honest, how could he just ask for money without haggling?But he really wanted such a batch of equipment, as long as he could have such a batch of terrifyingly powerful equipment, he would definitely dare to challenge the Xianbei cavalry on the other side of the river.

It was only then that Deng Tong understood that General Xiao was pretending to be poor and knocking on the bamboo pole without telling the truth, and this Chu Zhaoyi was even more powerful, he even climbed up the pole directly, and brought back an army instead.

One big, one small, two foxes.

Deng Tong and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and they both saw the same evaluation on each other's faces.

"Okay! To be honest, I can only get [-] guan in this general." Xiao Hongfei had no choice but to soften his attitude: "Chu Zhaoyi might as well help me figure out how to use the [-] guan to make the current army The battle is turned upside down."

Chu Ning watched Xiao Hongfei remain silent, but thought in his heart, there are three generals in Liaodong and Liaoxi, each in charge of rations, salaries, and weapons. Now the two in charge of rations and weapons have been killed, and you are the only one left alive... you A dignified general in charge of the frontier army who is in charge of the salary actually said that he can only give out [-] guan, cheating a three-year-old child?General Ben didn't just spend this little money on Gao Zhimin.

Xiao Hongfei was a little embarrassed by Chu Ning, and took the initiative to increase the price. Maybe the money in his hand was really not much, and after adding it to [-] guan, he didn't increase it any more.

Chu Ning made a list for Xiao Hongfei, [-] sets of thin armor worn by the guards, [-] spear heads, and [-] eighteen-refined war knives.

The generals and officers personally inspected the quality of the samples and expressed their satisfaction. After intense bargaining and bargaining, the two sides reached a deal on the same day, but the number of gun heads was increased to [-], and the number of swords was reduced to [-].

Therefore, the total amount of a single transaction reached [-] guan, and Chuning boldly decided to give Xiao Hongfei five sets of heavy armor.

Xiao Hongfei did not inquire about the source of these armors, and even after Chu Ning left, he personally issued a gag order to the generals involved in this matter.

Chen Fu and the others carried the money back to Chuning's camp and withdrew. Chuning looked at the boxes of horseshoe gold, but his heart was as calm as water. Sorry to say more.The unit price of the saber is ten guan, the unit price of the spear head is five guan, and the unit price of the thin armor is ten guan... Although the price of the saber and spear head is lower than that sold to Gao Zhimin before, in fact, the guards still have three points. Two windfall profits.

This is the benefit of Chu Ning who spent a lot of money to improve the steelmaking method. When the imperial court examination room was still using human iron forging, the molten iron directly released by the Weimin army had reached the level of the [-]th refining process. For things like spearheads and armor plates, the guards and civilians basically use the model casting method, and then use manual processing and polishing. Although it is not as exquisite as purely manual casting, it is worse than increasing production and reducing costs.

However, for now, the benefits are just that. Although the quality of molten iron is high, it is often called steel by craftsmen, but Chuning knows in his heart that the quality of really good steel is far from what it is now, let alone the quality of steel. Carbon steel and fierce steel are gone, and the people in the craftsman company can't even burn refractory bricks now, and Chuning doesn't know if he will see these two things in his life.

After counting the gold, Chuning began to write a letter to Bai Su:

My friend Bai Su, sees a letter like a face.

From Jixian County to the east, it is nearly a thousand miles away. Ning led his army to rush all the way, which took nearly half a decade, and arrived at Husu County yesterday afternoon. In one battle, [-] enemies were killed, our army was injured and no one was killed, and Miss Jiuqing was also safe and sound.

At the celebration banquet last night, Ning had a very happy conversation with many of his colleagues. General Xiao Zhongwu also praised Ning very much. My friend, don't worry about it. Ning is all well.

Ning is in front of the battle, long in Jicheng, thousands of miles away, seeing each other but not seeing each other, I don't know if my friend is still safe?If you are busy with business, remember to take a proper rest. If it is not an important matter, let your subordinates manage the affairs on your behalf. Don’t do everything yourself, stay healthy and recover ten thousand gold...

Chu Ning babbled on, from reporting safety to persuading Bai Su to pay attention to rest, and then writing about what she saw along the way, unknowingly wrote many pages, and finally when she found out by herself, she realized that she hadn't said a single word about the business , I had to add a few more lines at the end, so that when Bai Su's merchant ship came over, it would bring the weapons Xiao Hongfei bought.

The author has something to say: Hey, in this era of no mobile phones and no Internet, it is not convenient to talk about love...

As for General Chu's rotten calligraphy, he writes so much at a time, I don't know if Master Bai can understand it.
