Therefore, this trial is not just a simple exercise or theoretical discussion, but a real battle. If you have to say, it can be considered a small-scale war, and there will inevitably be casualties.
This trial of military affairs by the six states has attracted the attention of all seven states, who are all looking forward to the final result. Except for the state of Kucha, which has always disliked participating in wars, Zheng Quchi is well aware of the mentality of the other six states.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
She didn't plan to sleep tonight either. She asked Wang Zebang to find out the recent battle situation and intelligence, intending to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each country's national strength. She also wanted to learn a little about military strategy, tactics, military history and military technology. Although it was a bit late to start learning now, even last-minute cramming can be effective.
She knew she was just a logistics adjutant, and the real main commander on the battlefield would be Yuan Xingzhou, but if they were drawn as the defensive side, she felt she could still be of help.
That night, the room was lit until dawn. After staying up all night, Zheng Quchi did not feel very tired. Besides being young, it was also because she continued to practice the art of bone flexibility. Secondly, because of the hidden ailment she had suffered from, she was being nourished by Aunt Mei's various medicinal soups. Even though Aunt Mei did not come with her this time, she entrusted the follow-up matters to Deputy Wang and the others.
"Blue Moon".
At her call, Blue Moon appeared before her.
"lady."
"Have the people in the capital keep an eye out for Mad Blade's whereabouts. As soon as he appears, bring him to me immediately."
Mad Blade?
Mentioning this person, Lan Yue still felt lingering fear: "Madam, this person is extremely dangerous, and he's also a member of the Mo family, you..."
Seeing Lan Yue's worried expression, Zheng Quchi smiled and said, "I know, but I need him right now. Even if using him poses a safety risk to me, I'll accept it."
Seeing that the lady insisted, Lan Yue said nothing more.
"Blue Moon understands."
After Zheng Quchi finished his breakfast and walked out of the Eight Departments Hall, a eunuch bowed and greeted him: "Madam General, His Highness has arranged a carriage for you. Please tell me where you want to go."
Zheng Quchi paused for a moment, then asked, "And what about His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Your Highness has gone to pay his respects to His Majesty," the eunuch replied.
Zheng Quchi nodded. Since it was His Highness's kind offer, she naturally couldn't refuse him. Besides, she didn't know the way, so she readily climbed into the carriage and then announced to the outsiders, "To the General's residence."
"yes."
As soon as Zheng Quchi arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, someone immediately opened the gate to greet her. The person was wearing a suit of fine armor and was none other than the General of the Cavalry. He stepped forward warmly and cupped his hands in greeting: "Huo Ting greets the wife of the General."
He was accompanied by another person.
"Wang Feichen greets the General's wife."
The two men led the way, while the other servants and guards greeted them from a distance.
When Zheng Quchi got off the carriage, he looked them over and saw that one of them was tanned like an African, with a dark face and neck, even more so than the farmers in Fuxian who worked the land every day.
She thought that this must be what the Black Whirlwind described in the book was like.
The other one was very fair-skinned. Perhaps compared to the dark-skinned general next to him, he was so fair-skinned that he didn't look like a military officer. He had a tall and handsome figure, and his features were three-dimensional and handsome, like a white-faced swordsman. He had a free and chivalrous air about him.
"You're too kind, both of you."
As the Supreme General of Ye Kingdom, Yuwen Sheng was second only to the King and Queen of Ye. Everyone else had to bow to her.
Upon first meeting the General's wife, Huo Ting and Wang Feichen only glanced at her briefly, not daring to stare at her for too long. Judging from her appearance, the General's wife was very young, seemingly just over sixteen years old, with some baby fat on her face, big eyes, round face, pretty and kind.
"General's wife, would you like to first accompany me to tour the General's residence, or go directly to the training ground to select people?" Huo Tingren asked bluntly.
Zheng Quchi asked in surprise, "How did you know...?"
"His Highness gave the order early this morning, instructing us to accompany the Lady in selecting her preferred candidate from the ranks," Wang Feichen replied.
Your Highness?
"It's him." Zheng Quchi realized.
She had wondered why someone was waiting for her at the gate of the General's Mansion. As soon as she appeared, the person came up to her and recognized her at a glance, which was completely different from the situation at the Military Equipment Bureau.
It turned out that Yuan Xingzhou had arranged everything in advance for her, just so that everything would go smoothly for her and she would not encounter any difficulties or obstacles.
It's surprising that someone who seems so cold and aloof can also be so thoughtful and considerate.
Zheng Quchi thought to himself that he must thank him properly when he got back, but... it would be even better if he could get rid of that habit of talking nonsense, then their relationship would be more harmonious and natural.
"No need to go sightseeing, business is more important," Zheng Quchi said.
It wasn't that she didn't want to explore; it was just that she didn't have much time left. In her race against time, she really didn't have the leisure to do so. She would take her time to travel later when she had the chance.
"Hey—ho—"
Under the blazing sun, rows upon rows of dozens of people stood in neat, square formations on the training ground, training diligently. They wielded batons, performing monotonous movements, one after another, sweating profusely. Their imposing and majestic figures formed a magnificent picture of a strong military.
Zheng Quchi was led to the second floor of the stands. Standing on higher ground, she could more easily see the complete formation and grandeur of the troops. She admired it silently for a while before asking, "General Huo, what kind of troops are these?"
