Chapter 1211

Gao Yang nodded.

"That's right!"

"Why?"

"Worried that I will suffer setbacks in the expedition against the Xiongnu? And lose all my lifelong reputation?"

Whether it was the grandfather and grandson enjoying the foot bath together that opened Gao Yang's heart, or the Lu Yourong incident that made him talkative today, he said.

"Grandpa's lifelong reputation cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop. If I follow you, I can help a little and offer some suggestions. After all, one more person means one more strength."

"You're being modest; you alone are worth a thousand troops."

Gao Tianlong first affirmed, then narrowed his deep eyes and said, "I heard that you caused quite a stir in the Left Guard camp."

Now it was Gao Yang's turn to be shocked.

"Grandpa got the news so quickly?"

Gao Tianlong rolled his eyes at Gao Yang and said, "The Left Guard camp is a mixed bag; how could I not know this news?"

"Ever since you entered the Left Guard camp, I have known every move you've made. I won't say much about the Xiongnu, but why do you want armored soldiers who have mined?"

"What's the trick in this?"

Gao Tianlong said this, his aged face unable to hide his curiosity, staring straight at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang didn't hide anything from Gao Tianlong, but said directly: "Because they are strong!"

"Strong?"

"How strong?"

Gao Tianlong was stunned and continued to ask.

"About as strong as elite tigers and wolves, unstoppable."

Gao Yang thought for a moment and described it.

"Hiss!"

Hearing this, Gao Tianlong took a light breath.

Gao Yang continued.

"Even ordinary mining soldiers, not long after entering the camp, as long as they are trained, can quickly grow into top-tier elite tigers and wolves!"

"If they are soldiers who have been snatching mines and mining all along, they will be even stronger—they are natural tiger and wolf troops!"

Hearing this, Gao Tianlong's brows locked even tighter. He naturally knew Gao Yang's ability and didn't have too many doubts, but the problem was, what is the connection between mining soldiers and elites?

He, Gao Tianlong, had led troops for forty years and had never heard of this principle.

"Yang'er, why is that?"

Gao Yang washed his feet, keeping him in suspense.

"This involves the method of training soldiers. I can't quite explain it, but Grandpa will know tomorrow. Today I selected some elites. Besides the Xiongnu, when tomorrow comes, all the Da Qian armored soldiers who have mined in the major military camps of Changan will also arrive!"

"At that time, I will train them uniformly, and Grandpa will see the difference at a glance!"

"At that time, Grandpa must not snatch people from me!"

Hearing this, Gao Tianlong was somewhat shocked.

But more than that, he was curious.

"If that's the case, then I'm really looking forward to it."

Gao Tianlong said, then nodded to himself.

"It's good that you're going on the expedition with me. Although I don't need you to come up with plans, I can sleep peacefully. Furthermore, you can truly go to the battlefield, mix in some military merit with me, and see how I deploy troops and learn. How can my lifelong military strategy be cut off like this?"

Gao Yang was shocked: "Grandpa, why don't you use my plans?"

Gao Tianlong said seriously, "If I use your plans, can my lifelong reputation be preserved? So unless it's a last resort and the Xiongnu aren't too excessive, I don't intend to use you."

Gao Yang: "..."

Afterward, the two chatted a bit more.

Finally, Gao Yang stood up to say goodbye.

Gao Tianlong stared at Gao Yang's departing back, and he exclaimed with great emotion, "I really didn't expect this brat to be such a romantic."

He stroked his beard, sighing.

After Gao Yang left, he sat alone on the stone chair in the courtyard, drinking hot tea and watching the autumn leaves falling rustlingly.

Not long after.

Uncle Fu hurried into the courtyard.

"Old Duke!"

Gao Tianlong took a sip of tea and then said, "Yang'er's mood might not be very good tonight, but there are still things to do in the army tomorrow. If he is troubled and wants to drink, you must not let him indulge!"

"You watch Yang'er for me; emotions are the easiest thing to hurt people since ancient times!"

Hearing this, Uncle Fu was dumbfounded.

"Old Duke, I think the Eldest Young Master's mood is quite okay."

Gao Tianlong: "?"

"After the Eldest Young Master left you, he went to the warehouse to get a precious necklace and turned to go to Mu Mu Xue Yao's small courtyard."

"I see Chen Sheng and Wu Guang already standing guard in the courtyard; I'm afraid there will be a big battle tonight!"

Gao Tianlong: "..."

He put down the teacup in his hand heavily and took a deep breath.

Then, he looked at the autumn leaves in the courtyard and said with great emotion, "People are just idiots!"

"Hurt by love!"

"What a 'hurt by love'!"

Gao Tianlong's sigh carried a thick sense of self-mockery.

"..."
