I’m The King Chapter 1441: : Han Banner World (131) He Lanxiong’s characteristic arms
The entire third military region controls a huge area. Of the 30,000 soldiers it belongs to, only 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry are permanently stationed in Mengchi. The rest of the army is scattered and stationed at various key points. Zhao Xilie The one who took Cao Tianci was the infantry battalion about ten miles away from Mengchi. This article is written by . . First release
Mengchi is an open city without city walls. Stepping through the thick snow, they soon saw a large area of buildings. Of course, the soldiers here did not live in tents, but reinforced concrete buildings, all of which had heating equipment. The black smoke can be seen clearly from a distance.
Although it was snowing heavily, it was extremely lively outside the barracks, with drums beating and cheers resounding from time to time.
Cao Tianci looked at the horse for a while, and asked Zhao Xilie beside him with some surprise: "Didn't you say that Commander He Lan is training soldiers? Why do I look at them as if they are playing?"
"Teaching is fun!" Zhao Xilie laughed loudly: "Won't it make the soldiers feel more interesting if the art of military training is implied in these fun items? Minister Cao, you came this time just in time, we The Third Military Region just happens to have a big event to watch, well, let Commander He Lan tell you in person later, this is what he is most proud of."
While speaking, several horses galloped towards him in the distance, and the first person was He Lanxiong, a tall and burly man, and he hadn't seen him for a long time. Prestigious, but now, his beard is covered with icicles, so he is not so attractive.
"Little Tianci, you are really a rare visitor, but you are a night owl, so there must be something wrong as soon as you come!" He Lanxiong laughed, stretched out his palm, and rubbed Cao Tianci's head unceremoniously. Zhao Xilie and other officers on the other side were speechless.
Who is Cao Tianci? He was a man who could make the ground tremble three times when he stomped his feet. Because of his special status, all the officials couldn't help being three points shorter when they saw him, but in front of He Lanxiong. But like a doll, he was trampled on by him at will.
"Commander, show mercy, if you rub your head again, you will be flattened!" Cao Tianci shouted, but there was no annoyance on his face. He Lanxiong is different from ordinary people, when Cao Tianci was still a baby. He Lanxiong was already a veteran of the Fufeng Army, and He Lanxiong was also the one who rescued Cao Tianci and his sister. It can be said that He Lanxiong watched Cao Tianci grow up step by step.
Moreover, He Lanxiong is also someone Cao Tianci admires very much. For a general at the peak of his life to retire bravely, and to be willing to be the commander of a reserve military region in such a place where nothing **** like **** and the world of ice and snow is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. But He Lanxiong did just that. He Lanxiong's retreat, it can be said, solved a hidden worry inside the big man.
This is a very smart man. If King Gao Yuan is the well-deserved helmsman and captain in the establishment of the Great Han, then He Lanxiong can definitely be regarded as the bosun of this big ship. If it weren't for He Lanxiong's support and **** all the way, Gao Yuan might not be able to live at all.
He Lanxiong laughed and stopped, looking Cao Tianci up and down: "Last year you married the former princess of the Zhao Kingdom. Please have a good meal, by the way, is your wife pregnant? I didn’t drink this wedding wine, the baby’s full moon wine. I will definitely find a time and have a big drink at home.”
"Although the Commander didn't go, the present was too heavy for me to bear." Cao Tianci laughed and said, "My wife is already pregnant, and she will give birth in May or June tomorrow."
"Okay. We must go back and have a glass of wine." He Lanxiong laughed loudly: "Your boy has not seen you for a long time, but we have seen you very often, he has done a good job in Xinqin Let’s make money every day! It’s said that when I was in Fufeng, I really didn’t see that your old man was a genius in business. At that time, he was a stingy housekeeper in my eyes.”
"Isn't it all thanks to the blessing of our big man, who can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree!" Cao Tianci laughed.
"Your father is good, good!" He Lanxiong nodded.
Cao Tianci smiled and said nothing. He naturally knew what He Lanxiong meant by these two good words. Like He Lanxiong, his father also gradually withdrew from some domestic markets for the sake of the country's stability. The stability of a country lies in the balance of politics, and any imbalance may cause chaos.
"The general is training soldiers?" Cao Tianci changed the subject, "That's what Deputy Commander Zhao said."
"Of course, our place is covered by ice and snow for half a year in a year. All of this, our military training is inseparable from ice and snow. You came here by coincidence. These two days are our Third Military Region It's a grand martial arts competition, let's go and have a look together. I promise it will be an eye-opener for you." He Lanxiong laughed loudly.
As He Lanxiong walked up to the high platform, here, he could see the whole venue clearly at a glance.
"Our big competition here is divided into two major events: ice and snow. Now you see the venue in front of you, which is the ice event, speed skating! You may not know it, within the black line It used to be a small lake." He Lanxiong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The ice skates on the soldiers' feet are specially made in the military workshop of Jishi City. Look, this is a 3,000-meter race. It's started!"
Cao Tianci was immediately attracted to the events that were being competed on the field. The officer in charge of issuing the order waved the little red flag, and eight soldiers wearing that kind of ice skates rushed out like arrows.
"Quick!" he blurted out.
"Of course." He Lanxiong laughed. "This is already the final. The eight players are from the flukes of each team. The weaker ones are all eliminated. Of course, they will be eliminated soon."
Cao Tianci didn't pay attention to what He Lanxiong had to say, he was completely attracted by the competition on the court. After skating for several laps, the eight contestants had already formed a group from the beginning to a single row. Lines, chasing each other, staged a good show of surpassing and anti-surpassing from time to time. Cao Tianci was a little dazzled by his speed.
"Great, great!" Cao Tianci nodded repeatedly. "Looks good, looks good!"
"This kind of ice event is actually very useful in actual combat, but it is very good-looking and can enhance the fun of the soldiers. Look at the other side, high-altitude skiing, but it is also very exciting."
Following the direction of He Lanxiong's finger, Cao Tianci looked over. A little further to their left, a high snow platform was built with snow. Behind the snow platform was a long slope, and Below the high platform is also a snow slope. At this time, a contestant was sliding down at a high speed. When he reached the high platform, he suddenly rose into the air and flew high into the air. After sliding forward for a long distance, it stopped.
"Good!" Cao Tianci couldn't help shouting. "What's under his feet?"
"It's really good, it seems that the first place belongs to this kid." He Lanxiong also nodded. "Heavenly gift, the snowboards worn by this high-altitude skier are made of high-quality miscellaneous wood and polished. It takes half a year from the selection of materials to the complete production of such a pair of boards. In order to prevent the boards from cracking Or break easily, that's a lot of work, a pair of such boards cost tens of yuan!"
"This is really expensive." Cao Tianci said in surprise.
"It's worth it. You can see that this high-altitude skiing is more for appreciation and fun, but cross-country skiing is different. In winter, the infantry is equipped with it, and the marching speed in a day is faster than that of the cavalry! He Lanxiong said: "God gave you a military background, you should know what this means, I am preparing to declare the military expenditure for this item to the court, grandma, just to equip my soldiers with this ski, our third The military region is almost bankrupt. Isn't it Deputy Commander Zhao?"
"That's right, for more than 20,000 soldiers, each pair of boards is at least 50 yuan. Minister Cao, how much do you think?" Prepare yourself, the Third Military Region is indeed a little richer now, but you still can't help being so flowery!"
"Faster than cavalry?" Cao Tianci looked fascinated, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"How could I lie to you, come here, come here, there should be twenty miles of fully armed cross-country skiing, right? Look, that is our contestant, and that is the person who has skied for twenty miles, what? So, hurry up?" As if to confirm He Lanxiong's words, in the distance, several black shadows approached quickly, and when they came to them, some soldiers jumped up cheering ~IndoMTL.com~ It can be seen that they should be their contestants.
"These people are handpicked. Of course, every infantryman of ours can skate, but they are not as good as these guys." He Lanxiong squinted at Cao Tianci: "How is it? It is worth going to the court to dial for us Pay the military expenses?"
Cao Tianci laughed: "Commander, it doesn't work if you tell me about this. Wang Wudi is a famous iron cock, but well, there is really a chance now. If this battle, the third military region These soldiers have played out their characteristics and demeanor, I am not afraid that Wang Wuyi will not pay for it!"
Yeah! He Lanxiong's eyes froze for a moment, and after a while, he reached out and grabbed Cao Tianci's hand, "You mean the imperial court is going to use soldiers from our third military region?"
"Of course, all the members are dispatched!" Cao Tianci said with a smile.
He Lanxiong laughed loudly, "Old Zhao, Lao Zhao, how are you? Let me tell you, my soldiers are not training in vain, right? We are always ready, the Third Military Region, come when you are called, come If you can fight, you can win." (To be continued.)
