Chapter 208 The first snow in Chang'an City
More than a month has passed since the last Turkic move, and the weather has become colder and colder. Zhang Nan is sitting leisurely in his mansion and baking a stove with Cui Yue, playing with the "monopoly" he has revised after his own version.
Anyway, I don’t have to go up and fight my life. The Tang Dynasty is now equipped with hot air balloons, god-wind crossbows, and sky-bombing thunder. It’s impossible for me to lose this war. So Zhang Nan was not worried, but was happy to be idle. The colder the weather, the less calm Li Er’s heart was. Recently, I have called my confidants to hold meetings many times. Zhang Nan, a guy who was considered to be powerless by Li Er, was excluded by Li Er. After all, even if Zhang Nan went there, he couldn’t help.
"Oh, my husband, you should pay for me when you pass by my inn. How can you cheat?" Cui Yue saw Zhang Nan passing by her territory and not paying the toll, so she said quickly.
Zhang Nan looked at the pitiful three copper plates in front of him, and looked at almost fifty copper plates in front of Cui Yue, and said with a smile: "Yue'er let go of Lang Jun this time." To be honest, Zhang Nan's luck today is really bad. She has nothing to do with anything, otherwise she would not have lost so badly and lost all her original property to Cui Yue.
"If you can't do it, I'd better hand over the copper plate obediently. You should give me three copper plates." Cui Yue said with a smile, shook her head and said.
Just when Zhang Nan's eyes were rumbling and wanted to continue to play tricks, Lao Su came to report that Xiao Bo, Cheng Huaimo, Li Dejian, Yuchi Baolin, and Li Chongyi wanted to see him.
When Cui Yue heard that Zhang Nan had something to do, she had to clean up the chessboard on the table and return to the backyard.
Zhang Nan asked Lao Su to invite these five people in. Zhang Nan was also very curious about why these guys were not trained in the military academy and ran to his mansion for such a cold day.
As soon as the few people entered the door, Cheng Huaimo first said: "Brother, I haven't seen each other for many days. Why haven't you been on a military academy recently?"
"Why do I go to the military academy for nothing? I have taught you all the things I can teach. You don't need training for new things yet. I don't want to go out for such a cold day." Zhang Nan said.
"That's right, the eldest brother is very busy all day, so he doesn't have time to be with us rough people." Li Dejian also said with a smile.
"That's right, do you think they're the same as you, and the students will be fine after one day's training?" Li Chongyi said.
When Zhang Nan heard these people say this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. It would be normal to say that Cheng Huaimo talks to him like this, but even Li Chongyi and Li Dejian say that these things are suspected of being accused of being a good person, Zhang Nan was very confused. Li Chongyi and Li Dejian are not like this.
"Do you have something to ask me for help?" Zhang Nan asked.
"Hey, brother, you are so amazing, how do you know?" Yuchi Baolin said with a look of surprise. Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Cheng Huaimu. Then Cheng Huaimu said with a smile: "Nothing is there? I haven't seen you for many days and I miss you. Let's see you."
Seeing Cheng Huaimo's appearance, Zhang Nan felt even more convinced that these people must have something to ask for help from him.
"Xiao Bo, just say anything if you have something to do." Seeing these slippery heads unwilling to speak, Zhang Nan had to ask Xiao Bo, after all, Xiao Bo would not have so many twists and turns.
"This... that Lord Zhang, I'll tell the truth." Xiao Bo said suddenly.
"You said, are you asking me for help if you have something to do?" Zhang Nan asked.
"It's true, sir, we have heard that the Tang Dynasty is about to fight against the Turks. You said that the war is about to happen, so I won't let the people from our military academy go up and kill the enemy. Is this appropriate?" Xiao Bai asked.
"Do you want me to help you talk to the emperor and send the military academy students to the battlefield?" Zhang Nan asked.
"That's right, that's what it means, brother, to be honest, we have been practicing for so long, aren't we just going to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? Isn't this just an opportunity to test our training results?" Cheng Huaimo said.
"Well, this is what you guys mean, or is it that most of the students in the military academy think so?" Zhang Nan asked.
"Hey, brother, don't mention it. When the students heard that they were about to fight against the Turks, they were all very excited and were waiting to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. We don't represent us, that means the entire Tang Dynasty military academy, please come, brother." Cheng Huaimo said with a smile.
"You are still here and start to exaggerate with me. I don't count on this matter." Zhang Nan said with a blank look at Cheng Huaimo.
"So this is asking you to help us ask the emperor what he means. Our level is too low and we don't even have the qualifications to meet the emperor." Cheng Huaimo scratched his head and said.
"Isn't Chengqian there? Let him talk." Zhang Nan said.
"Hey, brother, don't mention Your Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness the Crown Prince heard that he was going to the battlefield. He was so low-key recently that he was afraid that the emperor would remember him and call him back to the palace, and he would lose the qualification to go to the battlefield." Li Dejian said.
"I said you are doing a good job in brainwashing. Even the prince of the Tang Dynasty fooled you and willingly went to the battlefield. By the way, what is Chengqian's mental state recently?" Zhang Nan suddenly remembered that Li Chengqian began to worship the Turks before entering the military academy. He was going to fight the Turks now, and I don't know how Li Chengqian was doing.
"Brother, I don't like to listen to what you said. That's not called brainwashing, it's called patriotic education." Cheng Huaimu corrected that after staying in the military academy for a long time, Cheng Huaimu and the others have long learned these modern words.
"When you are asking about your business, please tell me quickly." Zhang Nan said.
"As soon as His Highness heard that there was a war, he had worked harder in training. I guess His Highness was impatient to go into battle to kill the enemy." Xiao Bai said.
"You said you wanted to let the military academy students go to the battlefield, so I can consider this matter." Zhang Nan thought for a while and said that after all, the army still needs blood. The army that does not see blood is a group of boy scouts.
"Hey, brother, what else are you thinking about? You can go to the palace and tell the emperor now." After Cheng Huaimo said that, he pulled Zhang Nan up and pushed Zhang Nan out the door.
"Yes, we even brought blood books from the students. If you don't help us, how can we lead the troops when we go back?" After Li Dejian said that, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms, which were all names written in blood. The current military academy students are not bad. Sun Simiao takes them to read and read every night. It can be said that these academies now have no problems with daily use of characters.
Zhang Nan was pulled out of the hall by Cheng Huaimu. As soon as he left the door, Zhang Nan felt a little cold on his face. He looked at the path in the yard and was not sure when he had been soaked by the snow in the sky.
