Jiang Tang did understand the old general's mood. The war was about to begin, and he wanted to improve his ability to speed up.

I feel regretful that I cannot let my children and grandchildren in my family improve their strength.

All I can do is be anxious, and some secrets cannot be revealed.

Jiang Tang gave him these storage bags, which contained some thermal supplies, as well as medicine and food.

He does not have an army of 100,000 people now, and there are also spies in WeChat.

Defending the family and the country is the job of the old general. He has changed the plot and donated so many things in friendship. If they can't change their own destiny, they are really cowards, useless people who can't stand up to the wall.

There is nothing to be pitiful about.

With Jiang Tang's supplies, the old general could cleanse the bone marrow and open up the meridians this night, after a whole night of practice.

A foul smell oozed from his body. Fortunately, he was practicing in a warehouse, otherwise the soldiers guarding the door would have smelled the smell and vomited.

Although people in the military are not that particular, they train every day, and there are not so many water sources for bathing in this place. There are many people who have not bathed for a month.

What's even more difficult is winter, when the weather is so cold, there isn't that much firewood to keep them warm, and the snow water needs to be heated before they can drink it. It's good to have water to drink.

How is it possible?

How is it possible? You can take a bath and drink water every day with some protection.

Not to mention those generals, let alone an army of 100,000 people.

It is a hot day now and they can bathe in the river.

However, it is difficult for them to use water here, and it is quite difficult to take a bath every day.

It would be nice to have some water to wipe your face with.

They were compared to bad men, rude men in the military.

This is what those literary figures likened. They killed the enemy on the battlefield, but were not taken seriously.

This situation did not happen overnight.

Perhaps because he felt that the country was secure, the general's status was lowered.

It's a pity that those who protect the country are military generals. Those literati only talk and are better than them. Those who are good at conspiracy and conspiracy are the treacherous ministers and so-called literati.

The old general put a bucket of water in the warehouse before, and also put some drinkable water in this warehouse, but it was all there when he got the warehouse.

It was so difficult to drink water in this place. How could he be willing to waste this kind of water that could be drank and improve body functions on bathing?

However, he was so ugly now that he had to use the bucket of water originally prepared to wipe his body.

The old general found that he had washed too much dirt and washed out layer after layer of dirt.

The stench was so strong that he felt like vomiting.

But there is no other way but to endure it.

After washing away the dirt, I found that his skin was better and whiter.

If I didn't have a mirror, I would like to see if my appearance has changed.

My hair stinks and I have to wash it.

He had read in a book that wrote about the magical effects of some exercises. If he could learn spells and learn certain energy spells, he would not need to take a bath, he could just use spells.

I don't know if I can use magic.

After the old general wiped his body clean, he bought time to practice martial arts again. This was a different set of skills from the ones they had learned before.

You can practice martial arts that create breath. If you have enough time, if you can practice this set of skills to create breath, and promote this set of skills to the elites in the family, they will not be afraid of foreign enemies.

The old general just hoped that in this battle, they could use talismans, explosives and the like to repel the other side's soldiers.

One night spent in the warehouse is more than one day.

With his ability, he also needs to eat when practicing Qigong.

In the morning, he returned from the warehouse to his tent.

When he called the soldiers outside, they gave him water to wash his face. Although he had already washed his face, he later learned martial arts and sweated all over. Now his head is covered in sweat.

In this summer, the clothes they wore were relatively hot, and they were sweating all over in the morning in the tent.

Although he is an old general and now has food in the army, he still eats a simple meal in the morning, a bowl of white porridge and two steamed buns.

However, these supplies all come from the food sent by Jiangtang, and they can eat white porridge. This is a kind of white porridge made from spiritual rice. It tastes much better than the porridge made from whole grains that they used to eat.

White flour steamed buns are still sweet without adding sugar.

After the old general enjoyed lunch, he asked the soldiers to bring in all the children and grandchildren of his family who were in the army.

Instruct people to just bring them in. Don't call others. If they ask, just say it's a family matter.

Generally, when generals discuss some matters or have military reports, they will let other generals listen.

If a general trusts a certain person or does not trust a certain person, there will be a scale.

He now knows the danger they face, don't say he is selfish.

The country must be protected, and so must the people in the family.

If you want to protect an army of 100,000 people, then they have the material, they will become stronger, and no one will die in the battle.

As a general, you will also have selfish motives, this is human nature.

Before dawn, the people in the army had already gone out for morning exercises. They might not have had breakfast, or they might have had breakfast after the morning exercise.

When the old general calls his children and grandchildren at home, they have different positions and different residences.

There are those who are young and not capable enough. They start from a low level. They may be just a small general or vanguard. They may live with many soldiers.

However, they have the relationship of an old general and may live with close relatives at home.

Not to mention that they didn't go back to live in the general's mansion. Now when the war is coming, they can't go home even in the army.

The General's Mansion on the border is very simple and incomparable with the General's Mansion in Kyoto.

Those who can follow them to this place to live a hard life will only lose part of their leaves.

The emperor cannot let them, who are generals holding tokens, have such great strength and power, rest assured that they are at the border.

What if they rebel?

What should I do if I lead an army of 100,000 and fight back to the capital?

Therefore, the planners would leave some of the children of the generals' families in Kyoto as hostages.

Or marry their daughters to the families of certain ministers.

What's more, some women from their families were brought into the palace.

In order to cultivate, the old general didn't have time to read some letters.

Now I am waiting for someone to read the letter.

Sure enough, as he thought, the cities on both sides were sealed so that no one could get out or get in. However, the people outside did not know the situation and the food they had dropped from the sky, so they were not in danger of starvation.

They waited for the food to be delivered and did not send anyone out of the city to buy food.

The nearby cities, on the edge of their army, were actually having a hard time.

Due to soil problems and weather problems, it is also difficult to buy food in the surrounding area.

The old general called more than a dozen people, including his son and grandson, into the tent and told them to swear to God that they would not tell anyone else what they knew today, not even the people around them.

There were more than a dozen middle-aged and young people, they were all confused and didn't know why the old general asked them to come in.

"What happened to father?"

"In the army, you have to be called a general. You are old and don't know the rules yet."

Being scolded by his father, the middle-aged man almost lost his temper.

His majesty was shattered in front of his son.

The sons and grandsons of the old general then spoke word by word and we made an oath.

The old general looked dissatisfied. He used to think that the people they trained were okay, but now they are no longer good.

Everyone looked at the old general and felt that the old general was in good spirits today, and they wondered if it was an illusion or the light in the tent was not bright enough?

Why did their eyes have no problem, but they saw changes in the general?

You can feel that the old general's hair was already half white before, his eyebrows and beard are already graying, and his skin is a bit old. Why is his hair now even blacker?

The middle-aged son, the eldest son of an old general, felt that his father's skin and hair looked better than his in front of him.

How could it change so much in just one night?

He thought the old general was disguised, but it didn't look like he was disguised.

If disguise can make a person younger, they all want to use disguise.

The old general, no matter how serious the eyes of these descendants were, he felt happy, and only he knew it.

Being physically strong or getting younger is the same for him, just like women. Although they care about their appearance, men have no choice but to have their physical condition deteriorate when they reach old age.
