Chapter 346 Military Spirit

Let’s talk about Jia Lian’s tent, when Prince Wala and others left.

Zhaoer stepped forward and asked Jia Lian: "Second Master, are these ice cubes really unusable? What a pity."

Zhaoer was referring to the wooden barrels Inside, there are huge amounts of ice.

On such a hot day, they all just went up to feel the air-conditioning. They wanted to break out two pieces of ice and eat them raw to cool down!

“Who said it can’t be used?”

Hearing Jia Lian’s words, Zhaoer and others were overjoyed.

Of course they knew that they could not enjoy the small amount of ice in the iron bucket.

But the nobles looked down upon these things in the big wooden barrel, so they naturally had the opportunity to enjoy them.

“Where’s the sour plum soup I asked you to make? Bring it out quickly!”

As far as Jia Lian is concerned, now he is in front of thousands of people. Of course he doesn’t want to Any military supplies will be wasted.

Although the ice cubes in the barrel cannot be eaten directly, they can be used as a natural refrigerator.

As a remedy for summer heat, sour plum soup carried many raw materials with the army. Jia Lian had people make enough sour plum soup in advance to prepare all the officers and soldiers to enjoy a bowl of ice-cold drink.

After hearing Jia Lian’s arrangement, all the guards became busy again.

Each of them found an iron bucket, poured the sour plum juice into the bucket, closed the lid and refrigerated it.

Since it is only for the general number of soldiers, it does not need to be particularly frozen. As long as it is a little cold, we can take it out and send it to each battalion headquarters.

After so many days in the army, it was the first time I drank an iced drink. Perhaps it was also the first time in my life that I drank an iced drink in summer. All the soldiers cherished it very much.

Since all the personal guards of Jia Lian came to make the assignments in person, the three thousand soldiers all knew that this was a reward from the imperial envoy, and they naturally respected Jia Lian more and more.

When Xiang He was walking on the way to Jia Lian's tent, he could hear the laughter of the generals and their praises for Jia Lian at any time.

He thought to himself:

Originally, he was worried that this lord, who was born in the Duke's palace, would not outperform others at his young age. This trip is a long way and will be very difficult. If the officers and soldiers mutiny, big trouble will happen.

But now it seems that this kind of worry is really unnecessary.

If this continues, let alone mutiny, I am afraid that when General Jia returns from Oara in a year, he will lead these officers and soldiers to rebel, and they may also follow...
< br />　……

After walking and stopping all the way, we finally arrived at Yanmen Pass.

It is also the first step to leave the Central Plains and set foot on the vast desert.

At this point, half of the officers and soldiers escorted by the army will return to Beijing and be replaced by the defenders of Yanmen Pass, who will be assigned to escort the troops and horses.

This is also the strategy formulated by the imperial court in order to reduce the burden of this trip.

After all, we are not going to war, so we don’t need thousands of troops and horses to march thousands of miles.

So the rest of the journey will probably be like this. Every time we reach an important pass, the local garrison will rotate to escort us.

The fourth prince must also return to Beijing.

Even though he was reluctant to give up and couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do to change it.

Therefore, he could only pin his final worries on Jia Lian.

"Jia Lian, you must, must deliver my imperial sister safely!"

" Riding on the horse, there are more than a hundred riders behind him ready to go.

The fourth prince dilly-dallyed around, but finally did not see his sister coming out, so he clasped his fists and begged Jia Lian.

"Your Highness is serious, this is my mission."

"Oh, it is another mission... In short, as long as you deliver my imperial sister safely, you will count me I owe you a second favor.

I, Wei Ling, will do what I say, no matter how difficult it is in the future, as long as you ask, I will definitely do it for you!"

The fourth prince took one last look at Xiongguan, turned around, and rode away.

Behind him, more than a hundred people followed on horseback, splashing dust all over the sky.

When the dust cleared a little and he heard the clicking sound as he approached, Jia Lian looked back and saw that it was Princess Zhaoyang.

At this time, Princess Zhaoyang took off her skirt and put on a tight corset.

The graceful figure is not afraid of the dust in the air, and comes with confidence and a heroic appearance.

Jia Lian looked slightly dazed.

At this moment, he seemed to really understand why Princess Zhaoyang could become the dream goddess of countless talents in the capital.

It’s not just her noble status and good looks.

Also, even men cannot match her confidence and elegance.

"He left?"

Princess Zhaoyang rode up to Jia Lian's side, looked at the distant road, and asked softly.

Jia Lian nodded: "Just now, His Royal Highness has been stationed here for a long time. He is probably waiting for Her Royal Highness to come out.. ”

　“I know. "

Princess Zhaoyang turned back and looked at Jia Lian with a faint look: "Since we are destined to be separated, why not be decisive and cruel and not give the other party any hope? Maybe it is the best for each other.

General, didn’t you do the same thing? "

Jia Lian's brows were slightly condensed, silent.

Princess Zhaoyang did not ask Jia Lian for a response. She looked at the broad hillside to the south and said with a smile: "Yesterday When I entered the pass, I saw the mountains and flowers blooming there, and the scenery was very beautiful.

Probably this is the last season of this year when a hundred flowers bloom.

I want to go over and have a look. Maybe the general will come with me? ”

Princess Zhaoyang is clearly smiling and her tone is relaxed, but she can easily arouse Jia Lian’s emotions.

Probably, this is the last thing she can see, the scenery in the pass It's hard to judge the right or wrong of the marriage itself. But a woman who goes to a foreign country alone for the sake of her country and nation is definitely worthy of respect.

" It is my duty to protect the safety of His Highness. "

Princess Zhaoyang smiled, then waved the reins and spurred the horse south.

Jia Lian and the soldiers behind him immediately followed.

Inside the pass.

An independent house.

Strict prevention and control.

This is the town gate guard will free up for the bride and groom The land used by the mission was allocated by Jia Lian to the Wala envoys and others.

Prince Wala and his cronies were roasting lamb legs in the house while talking in Mongolian.
>
A guard suddenly walked in and reported: "Prince, we saw that their princess and the general left the camp with only a small number of cavalry. "

"What? "

Everyone was shocked, and they all speculated that the princess was unwilling to marry and wanted to escape?

Prince Wala narrowed his eyes and asked: "What are the movements of the rest of them? ? "

"Everything else is business as usual. "

Prince Wala thought for a while and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I understand the culture of the Central Plains people. They are probably reluctant to leave their hometown and want to take a last look at the scenery of their homeland. "

Under Prince Wala's explanation, the others gradually calmed down.

But some of them were angry: "Prince, they all say that the Wei Dynasty values ​​etiquette the most.

But their princess is clearly the same as the princeAfter making an engagement, he still dared to go out with other men in front of the prince. He really didn't take the prince seriously.

When I was in Kyoto of Wei State, I also heard that their princess had been entangled with the general named Jia.

It can be seen that their princess is really not a woman. The Wei State is really insulting our royal court of Wala by using such a princess for marriage! "

When Prince Wala heard this, his face became a little ugly.

Finally, he remembered something and shook his head: "Don't worry too much about these.

According to this prince’s observation, the envoy sent by Wei State on this trip is a bit extraordinary.

If we can use their old feelings to disturb their minds, it will be of great benefit to us.

Anyway, I won’t let this princess from the Wei Kingdom become my Orduo (similar to a princess). I will only play with her for a while, so what she does has nothing to do with us.

As long as this trip plan is successful, not to mention a princess, even the throne of Khan and the thousands of miles of fertile land of Wei will lie at the feet of this prince.

　So, we just need to act according to the plan, that’s enough. "

"The prince is wise! ”
