Chapter 229 Send Troops
In the fire cooking room, Jiang Anran filled a bucket of hot water and lifted it up with both hands, but the bucket still didn't move.
“Damn it, why is this water so heavy!!”
After complaining in shock, Jiang Anran could only pour out part of the water, and then carried about half a bucket of water back to the camp.
There was no way, this was a military camp, not a government palace, and there were absolutely no servants who could help her.
Some time ago, when her leg was injured, Gu Chen sent a soldier to help her, but after her leg healed, the soldier returned.
"call--"
When he was almost back at the entrance of the camp, Jiang Anran was out of breath from exhaustion and had to put down the bucket and take a rest.
Gu Chen came out when he heard the noise, and then saw the other party standing not far outside the tent, with a bucket filled with hot water at his feet, "Are you going to wash up?"
The moment he saw Gu Chen appear, Jiang Anran's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, "You came just in time, help me lift it up, I'm almost exhausted!"
This time Gu Chen did not refuse and picked up the bucket to help her move back to the tent.
Jiang Anran has been working very hard these days. He spends almost every day in the gunpowder camp developing gunpowder. There are not many rich ladies like her who are willing to endure such hardships.
After putting down the bucket, Gu Chen saw the large bath bucket placed in the center of the camp. He quickly looked at Jiang Anran and said, "Are you ready to take a bath?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Anran immediately looked at Gu Chen and said with a flattering look on his face: "His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang, please do me a favor! Send a few people to help me get some hot water. I can't do it alone..."
After all, Gu Chen is an official in the military camp and has people in charge. Unlike her, she has to do everything herself.
If she kept going back and forth to the fire room to fetch water, she would be exhausted.
Seeing Jiang Anran's smiling face, Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you rest for a while, and I'll send someone to get you some water."
Jiang Anran also didn't expect that Gu Chen would be so easy to talk to this time. He stood up straight excitedly and shouted to him: "Okay, thank you, His Highness Prince Zhuang!"
"Be normal..."
Gu Chen said casually, then turned and left the camp.
After seeing Gu Chen leave, Jiang Anran immediately cleaned the tub and prepared to enjoy it later.
About half a stick of incense, six soldiers each carried two buckets of hot water into the camp, and then, at Jiang Anran's reminder, poured all the water into the bath buckets.
Looking at the hot water vapor in the tub, Jiang Anran quickly prepared his clothes, and then placed a screen at the door of the camp to prevent anyone from prying at him.
After everything was ready, Jiang Anran couldn't wait to untie her clothes and fell into the tub.
“So comfortable~”
The moment he sat in the bathtub, Jiang Anran's expression immediately relaxed, and he closed his eyes slightly, enjoying himself a lot. Then she gently wiped her skin with hot water, washed her body clean, and murmured to herself: "It would be great if I could take a bath like this every day."
As she talked, she did not forget to stick her long and slender feet out of the water to admire them for a few times.
Hehe, Mashiro!
This lady is still so beautiful!
....
At the same time, Mobei camp.
He Lianqing walked into the camp respectfully, and then bowed to the queen, "Mother, what do you want me to do?"
The queen asked: "Are the soldiers and horses ready?"
He Lianqing said: "Everything is ready. Let's rest for a day tomorrow. I will lead my troops south the next morning!"
The queen frowned slightly and looked at the other party with a serious expression, "I handed over 600,000 soldiers and horses to you this time. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with Dazhou's group of shrimp soldiers and generals. You won't let me down, right?!"
He Lianqing said: "My son is confident that he can break through the Zhou army camp in one fell swoop and start the first battle south for Mobei!"
Hearing He Lianqing's guarantee, the queen nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, with your guarantee, I will rest assured. If you can win this time, I will personally host a banquet for you in front of the entire army. In the face of the soldiers, you are named the best warrior in Mobei."
He Lianqing said categorically: "Don't worry, mother, your son will definitely get this honor."
The queen praised: "Yes, this is like my son!"
After the two chatted for a while, He Lianqing left the camp.
He knew that the queen was just painting a cake for him, but he couldn't refute, because even if the other party gave him command of the troops, he would not have any credibility in the army. The officers and soldiers in the army would still follow the queen's lead until the next time. The successor appears.
Therefore, he must win the next battle.
Not only to gain the queen's trust, but also to make the army officers convinced of him.
In this way, I can get rid of the queen's control and even seize the throne.
....
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of dispatching troops came.
Before dawn, He Lianqing had already put on his armor and arrived at the open space of the camp.
On the high platform, the Queen, Helianyao and some other generals have been waiting for a long time, while the 600,000 Mobei warriors below are all ready to go. They look at the high platform above solemnly, as if they can no longer resist the urge to attack.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the queen slowly walked into the high platform, waved her hands, looked at all the soldiers below with great solemnity, and said loudly: "Over the years, we have been driven to this desolate frontier by Zhou Dynasty, and we are helpless. Let him extort and slaughter you! Let me ask you, is this what you want?!"
"no!"
The next second, a thick voice suddenly sounded from the army. All the soldiers looked at the queen extremely seriously, and their eyes gradually became firm.
The queen took a few more steps forward and continued: "You are all the warriors of Mobei who are standing here today. You are the glory of Mobei and the support of Mobei. Do you want your descendants to live in this cold world all their lives?" The wilderness?!”
"I don't want to!"
The thick and loud voice came from the army again.
The queen paused for a moment and glanced at the people below, "Then I want you to go south to conquer Zhou and build a better home for Mobei. Are you willing?"
"willing!"
The morale of the army officers continued to rise, and some even picked up weapons and began to cheer loudly.
"very good."
The queen nodded with satisfaction and said loudly again: "Now I, General He Lianqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will lead you south to eliminate this powerful enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Will you all go with me?"
The soldiers responded loudly again: "Yes!"
Seeing the rising morale, the queen raised her right arm and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
