    The entire Third Military Region controls a huge area. Among the 30,000 soldiers it belongs to, only 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry are stationed in Mengchi. The remaining troops are scattered and stationed at various key points. Zhao Xilie led Cao Tianci  We were going to the infantry camp about ten miles away from Mengchi.  Mengchi is an open city without city walls.  Walking through the thick snow, we soon saw a large number of buildings. Of course, the soldiers here did not live in tents, but in reinforced concrete buildings with heating equipment inside.  The black smoke can be seen clearly from a distance.  Although it was snowing heavily, it was extremely lively outside the military camp, with drums rumbling and loud cheers ringing from time to time.  Cao Tianci watched the horse for a moment, and asked Zhao Xilie next to him with some surprise: "Didn't you say that Commander Helan is training troops? Why do they look like they are playing to me?" "Education is fun!" Zhao Xilie laughed.  : "Wouldn't it be more interesting for soldiers to include military training skills in these fun activities? Minister Cao, you are here at the right time. Our Third Military Region happens to be having a lot of fun right now. Well,  Let Commander Helan tell you in person later, this is what he is most proud of." As he was talking, several horses were galloping in the distance, and the one in front was a tall and burly horse.  He Lanxiong, I haven't seen him for a long time. He Lanxiong has grown a big beard. He must be very majestic in normal times, but now, his beard is covered with ice chips, which makes him less popular.  "Little Tianci, you are really a rare guest, but you are a night owl who comes in, so you must be in trouble when you come!" He Lanxiong laughed, stretched out his palm, and rubbed Cao Tianci's head unceremoniously, looking away  Zhao Xilie and other officers were stunned.  Who is Cao Tianci?  He was a man who could make the earth tremble whenever he stamped his feet. Because of his special status, all the officials couldn't help but shrink three points shorter when they saw him, but in front of He Lanxiong.  But he was ravaging her at will like a doll.  "Commander, please be merciful. If you rub your head again, it will flatten you!" Cao Tianci shouted, but there was no trace of annoyance on his face.  He Lanxiong was different from ordinary people, when Cao Tianci was still a little baby.  He Lanxiong was already a veteran of the Fufeng Army, and He Lanxiong was also responsible for rescuing Cao Tianci and his sister.  It can be said that He Lanxiong watched Cao Tianci grow up step by step.  And He Lanxiong is also a person that Cao Tianci admires very much.  It is really not something that ordinary people can do for a general who was at his peak to retreat and be willing to serve as the commander of a reserve military region in such a barren, icy and snowy place.  But He Lanxiong just did this. He Lanxiong's retreat can be said to have eliminated a hidden worry within the Han Dynasty.  This is a very smart man.  If King Gao Yuan is the well-deserved helmsman and captain in the establishment of the Han Dynasty, then He Lanxiong can definitely be regarded as the boatswain of this big ship.  Without He Lanxiong's support and escort all the way, Gao Yuan would not be alive today.  He Lanxiong laughed and stopped, looking Cao Tianci up and down: "Last year you married the former Princess of Zhao. I was really embarrassed not to be there for the wedding banquet. Since you are here today, I naturally have to treat you well.  Have a drink, by the way, is your wife pregnant? I didn¡¯t drink the wedding wine, but I will have a big drink at my house sometime. " "The commander is not here, but I can send it to you.  I can't bear the gift, it's too heavy." Cao Tianci said with a smile: "My wife is pregnant, and she will give birth in May or June." "Okay, I will have a drink then."  He Lanxiong laughed: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but we have seen each other during this period of time. He was doing very well in Xinqin, making money every day! By the way, when he was in Fufeng, he was really  I haven't seen that your father is a genius in business. At that time, in my eyes, he was just a stingy housekeeper who was always willing to spend every penny.  Well!" Cao Tianci laughed.  "Your father is not bad, not bad!" He Lanxiong nodded.  Cao Tianci smiled and said nothing. He naturally knew what He Lanxiong meant by these two good words. Like He Lanxiong, his father also began to gradually withdraw from some domestic markets for the sake of the country's stability.  The stability of a country lies in political balance, and any imbalance may cause chaos.  "General, are you training?" Cao Tianci changed the subject, "That's what Deputy Commander Zhao said." "Of course, our place is covered with ice and snow for half of the year.  , Our military training is inseparable from ice and snow. You are here by chance. These two days are the grand competition of our Third Military Region. Let's go, let's go together.?Take a look.  Guaranteed to be an eye-opener.  "He Lanxiong laughed. As He Lanxiong walked onto the high platform, here, you can see the entire venue clearly. "Our competition here is divided into two categories: ice and snow. Now you see the venue in front of you.  , is the ice event, skating!  You may not know, but the place within the black line used to be a small lake.  He Lanxiong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The ice blades on the soldiers' feet are specially made by the Jishi City Military Workshop."  Look, this is a three-thousand-meter race, it¡¯s already started!  "Cao Tianci was immediately attracted by the competition on the field. As soon as the officer in charge waved the red flag, eight soldiers wearing ice skates at their feet had already rushed out like arrows. "So fast.  !  "He blurted out. "Of course.  "He Lanxiong laughed. "This is already the finals. The eight contestants are lucky ones from various teams. The weaker ones have been eliminated, of course quickly.  " Cao Tianci no longer paid attention to what He Lanxiong said. He was completely attracted by the competition on the field. After skating for a few laps, the eight skaters had changed from a group at the beginning to a line.  You chase each other, and there is a good show of getting better and better from time to time, which makes Cao Tianci a little dazzled. "It's awesome, it's awesome!"  "Cao Tianci nodded repeatedly." "This kind of ice sports is actually very useful in actual combat, but it is very beautiful and can enhance the fun of the soldiers. Look over there, the high platform skiing is also very exciting.  " Following the direction of He Lanxiong's finger, Cao Tianci looked over. A little further to their left, a high snow platform was built with snow. Behind the snow platform was a long slope, and the high platform was  Below, there is also a snow slope.  At this time, a contestant was sliding down and reached the high platform. He suddenly jumped into the air and flew high into the air. He even made several tumbling movements in the air. When he fell, he happened to have his legs on the ground, high and high.  It slid forward for a long distance and then stopped.  "Okay!" Cao Tianci couldn't help shouting.  "What's under his feet?" "It's indeed good. It seems that the first place belongs to this boy." He Lanxiong also nodded.  "Godsend, this alpine skier is wearing a snowboard under his feet. It is made of carefully selected and polished wood. It takes half a year for such a board to be made from the material selection to complete production. In order to prevent cracks in the board  Or if it breaks easily, a lot of effort has gone into it. A board like this costs tens of dollars!¡± ¡°This is really expensive,¡± Cao Tianci said in surprise.  "But it's worth it. You can see that this high platform skiing is more about appreciation and fun, but cross-country skiing is different. In winter, the infantry are equipped with it, and they can march faster than the cavalry in a day!" He Lanxiong said  : "God has given you that you are from the military. You should know what this means. I am preparing to declare the military expenditure for this item to the court. Grandma, just to equip my soldiers with these skis, our Third Military Region will be very happy."  It¡¯s bankrupt, right, Deputy Commander Zhao?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, for more than 20,000 soldiers, each board costs at least fifty yuan. Minister Cao, how much do you think it costs?¡± Zhao Xilie said with a grimace.  It can't be that there is no surplus, it can't be that there is no preparation. The Third Military Region is indeed richer now, but it still can't help spending so much!" "Faster than the cavalry?" Cao Tianci looked fascinated, "You must not have lied to me.  "How could I lie to you? Come on, it should be twenty miles of cross-country skiing, right? Look, that's our skater. That's someone who skied twenty miles. Why?"  Like, hurry up?" As if to confirm He Lanxiong's words, several black figures quickly approached in the distance. When they arrived, some soldiers jumped up in cheers. It was obvious that they should be their players.  "These people are all selected. Of course, every one of our infantry can skate, but they are not as good as these guys." He Lanxiong looked at Cao Tianci sideways: "How about it? It's worth going to the court to allocate this for us.  A military expenditure, right?" Cao Tianci laughed: "Commander, it's no use telling me this. Wang Wudi is a famous iron rooster, but there is a chance now. If this battle, the third  These soldiers in the military region have shown their characteristics and style, and they are not afraid that Wang Wu will not pay for it!" "Well!  He Lanxiong's eyes suddenly froze, and after a while, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Cao Tianci's hand, "Are you saying that the imperial court is going to use soldiers from our Third Military Region?" "Of course, all troops will be dispatched!" Cao Tianci smiled.  road.  He Lanxiong laughed loudly, "How about Old Zhao, Old Zhao? Let me just say, my soldiers have not been trained in vain, right? We are always ready. The Third Military Region will come when called, and we can fight when we come."  , can win the battle??¡±(To be continued.)
