I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 166
Returning the same way, Zhao Xi did not give any order to attack, but the whole army went to the mountain to recuperate except for necessary investigation and patrol.

In other words, since Yongpingzhai entered Annan, they have been on the go, and the soldiers have not really rested.

Human energy is limited, and it is impossible to be excited without limit, even if it is always a victory.

"Reconnaissance must also be undetected. The focus is on the direction of Langsong, and the distance should not be less than fifty miles."

This is Zhao Xi's order to scout the cavalry.

"Your Highness, there are tens of thousands of Annan Army supporting Lang Song."

This is to support the Annan Army on the return journey of Lang Song.Di Qing understood, but this seemed to be inconsistent with His Highness' purpose.

"Di Shuai, the soldiers who supported Lang Song on his return journey should not be all the original soldiers. Since we already know that we have gone deep into the Annan border, we will definitely worry that Lang Song will be attacked again. It is inevitable to leave some soldiers to fill in for Lang Song's guard. "

"The soldiers who support Lang Song, when Lang Song is not occupied by the Wang Shi, their original vigilance will drop by one level. That is to say, they will be more relaxed when returning than when they were supporting."

This fight is not a battle, but a guess at people's hearts.

Di Qing had to admit that in this respect, he was no match.

Di Qing watched the entire process of His Royal Highness's use of troops, and always stopped when he thought he was about to fight a decisive battle, and then turned to another target.

However, it always received miraculous effects, and the soldiers were almost unharmed, and the entire northern part of Annan was disrupted.

After many days of fighting, the western army has not seen the square on the back of the guard battalion.This time it was a real rest, only to find out the usefulness of this thing.

Even in the humid mountains and forests of Annan, one can sleep soundly.

The whole person gets in, just leave one head outside, and put a few mothballs... There is no need to worry about mosquitoes at all.

Then, the Western Army came to Zhao Xi's tent in a group from the command envoy...

This behavior was so outrageous that even Zhao Xi was taken aback.

How should I put it, the intensity these days is indeed a bit high, and there is no rest every day, and some complaints are unavoidable as they are constantly on the run.

It shouldn't be to the extent of mutiny, right?

Now that Di Qing has also fallen asleep, these soldiers... Zhao Xi even has a spray gun in his hand.

And Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian are fully armed and on guard...

No, it seems that they don't have any weapons, not even armor...

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness... we want to..."

Seeing this shy answer, I'm afraid there is some request.

"I can't speak words, just country slang."

A group of rough men still wanted to speak the words of literati in front of His Highness, but they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Your Highness, I'm waiting to see that...that..."

"sleeping bag."

"Yes, it's the sleeping bag. I was wondering if it's possible for the imperial court to equip the Western Army with sleeping bags?"

What a big deal?Really big deal.Don't talk about sleeping, even if you carry such a piece on your back, it is equivalent to having an extra layer of armor...

Sigh... A few years ago, when Zhao Xi was selecting soldiers for the guard battalion, he thought about generalizing it.It's a pity that tables, chairs and benches are the most popular objects displayed during the selection of soldiers.

There is really no way to tell these soldiers.

"Your Highness... I will take my leave..."

Seeing Zhao Xi's unhappy expression, Yang Wenguang spoke directly.

What is a guard camp?Everyone knows that, not to mention people's ability and quality, but to talk about the nature of the organization, even if the Western Army is indispensable in the country, it is not as good as the guard camp, which is the prince's army.

"Wait...Everyone, I, Zhao Xi, will give you a word today. Up to five years, the Imperial Guards will be fully equipped!"

It's really not worth a lot of money, Zhao Xi thought, even if the East Palace is all posted in the end, this can be afforded.

Sometimes it is really annoying to those people in the court, but the reality is like this.

Military men don't play court, but they can reach the level of commanders and envoys, so there is no fool.As far as Zhao Xi said, I understand...

"Zhongzheng, go out and say something. When the guard battalion is on duty, give up the sleeping bag."

The warriors of the Guochao should be the most easily moved, but with these two sentences, a group of old men are about to cry, and their eyes are a little red.

This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not any other civil servants.They also dared to meet His Highness at night because of their familiarity these days and the fact that they had won battles.

His Highness didn't blame him, he still treated them like this...

Those who have not received such treatment are generally those who teach military law, beat the bangzi to demote, and even have their heads beheaded.

Only Your Highness...

Everyone left, but Di Qing came in a hurry, holding a sword.

"Di Shuai, they just want a sleeping bag!"

Zhao Xi was sitting in a daze at this moment, his eyes were not focused, and his mind was in a trance.Even seeing Di Qing's anxiety, he raised his eyelids.

"When selecting soldiers for the guard battalion, I invited all the senior members of the fifth rank and above in the court. I didn't want them to see the military quality of those selected soldiers. I just wanted to let everyone see some armaments and training methods, so that they can be promoted in the court. And broadly."

"A weak country has no diplomacy. Given the current situation where the country is surrounded by enemies, as well as the relationship between the country and the Great Xia and Daliao, we can only scrutinize words in order to keep the cloak."

"Then, try not to think about the deaths and injuries of the frontier soldiers, don't think about the grasslands that come every year like the seasons come, and don't think about the soldiers who died after being defeated again and again."

"Just drilled in the reports over the years, and carefully calculated the winning rate of how many people were beheaded and how many times were defeated. From this, we can draw the conclusion that the country has a high winning rate."

Zhao Xi didn't pretend, and completely entered a world, a world of his own, just mumbling there, not even paying attention to Di Qing's wide-eyed eyes.

"A few years ago, Mr. Pang asked me: How do you view the difference between civil and military affairs in Guochao? As I said, people cannot walk on one leg. But a few years have passed, and Guochao is still limping!"

"Di Shuai, I am not a martial artist, nor am I advocating literature. I just want the country to have weapons that can scare neighboring countries on the basis of Wenhua. Why is it so difficult? Just like today's soldiers want a sleeping bag Same."

"The soldiers are all good soldiers. They are exhausted these days, but no one has any complaints. They are all immersed in the victory. Just this kind of victory, I am afraid that Guochao has never had it before?"

"You can't see it in the court, and you can never feel the hearts of the soldiers..."

Zhao Xi himself couldn't find the topic, and he didn't even know what to say, so he just threw out sentence after sentence, every sentence hitting Di Qing... He really regretted it, if he knew that those idiots just wanted sleeping bags, He didn't come here to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's remarks.

Di Qing even wanted to avoid it, but every word His Highness said was in his heart.Just accompany and listen in such a trembling manner.

He was very surprised that these two servants were not surprised at all?
"I'm talking nonsense again! Di Shuai forgive me."

"His Royal Highness discussed military strategy with Qing late at night, and there is nothing inappropriate about it."

Di Qing's words made Zhao Xi stunned for a moment... Also, with Di Qing's temperament, it's not bad if he doesn't run away, so expect him to agree?
Forget it, let's see.
