Jiuding Military Division 2

In the early spring, everything sprouts, and under the gusts of warm wind, the grass in the mountains pokes its head out one after another, and the birds that have endured a hard winter are singing and chasing cheerfully in the air. In the fields, several farmers are Hard work.

"Grandpa, grandpa, look what I caught." A young boy with braids raised his little hand high, and ran towards an old farmer in the field stumbling.

The old farmer straightened up, beat his sore back with his hands, and saw his grandson running, with a kind smile on his dry and distressed face, he kept saying: "Slow down, don't fall, don't fall. "

As soon as the young boy ran to the old farmer, before he could open his little hand, there was a sudden exclamation from a distance. The old farmer looked up and saw an old woman staggering towards them and shouting: "The officers and soldiers are here! The officers and soldiers are here!"

The childish boy had sharp eyes and ears, and pointed to the flag flying in the distance and said excitedly: "Grandpa, grandpa, look, look, there is a large group of people, daddy is here, I'm going to find daddy!" Run, the children don't know the damage caused by the military disaster, they only know that their father was conscripted into the army, and when they see the officers and soldiers of the brigade, they take it for granted that their father must be among them.

The old farmer hurriedly grabbed him, ignoring the farm tools, and ran quickly to the village with his grandson in his arms. The child struggled and cried loudly, "I want Daddy, let me go, I want to find Daddy, I want Daddy..."

"Xiaobao don't cry, that's... that's the army of the Kang Kingdom, they're here to attack us, and daddy isn't there." The old farmer panted heavily, staggered, and looked back in panic as he ran. .

At this time, a strong peasant woman ran up, picked up the child, and said to the old farmer, "Give me Xiaobao, Ruburt!"

The old farmer nodded gratefully to her, the child stopped crying, and leaned on the peasant woman's shoulders, his tearful eyes were still looking at the horses in the distance, hoping to find his father's figure.

The village was in sight, the peasant woman looked back, and said to the panting old farmer: "Didn't we just form an alliance with Kang Guo? Why are we fighting again? It's been a long time. When will it be the end!"

The old farmer stopped, turned his head and stared at the dust in the distance, and said angrily: "They are all animals. It is unjust for the princes to conquer and fight rashly. It is against the law to raise troops in the spring planting season. Alas, no one obeys the legacy of the ancestors."

"Returning to the ancestors, who is willing to listen to him when the emperor is still alive?! No one takes the ancient law and hades seriously, Ruburt, you should hide as soon as possible, your life is the most important thing." A young boy said He quickly ran into the village.

Ruburt stared at his back, then heaved a long sigh, took the child from the woman's hand, and sighed as he walked: "People's hearts are not ancient, and the way of heaven does not exist!"

This place is the border area between Zhao and Kang. Years of wars have numbed the local people. The villagers went home and closed their doors. That’s all. Anything of value, tired of running away, tired of hiding, simply resigned to fate.

The Kang Guo army horse did not enter the village, but galloped along the path. The general in front of the team was a red-faced general in his 40s. I don't want to hide my dissatisfaction.Hearing the report from the horse explorer, it was already Pinghe five miles away.The general snorted heavily, waved his hands to stop the troops, and ordered the generals around him in a deep voice: "Camp in place."

A lieutenant general frowned and suggested: "My lord, choose a hidden place to set up camp, General Copper ordered you to do so..."

The general spat and said angrily: "He knows nothing! If he really knows how to march and fight, he won't be so confused. This is an important frontier, where is it not full of spies? He thinks that sending troops secretly can be regarded as a surprise soldier. Yes, bah! I dare to say that the news from the Zhao country has been received not long after we left the camp. Most of the Zhao people have already laid down their pockets and waited for us to dig in. This bastard is not directing the war, he is simply putting our brothers in the tiger's mouth deliver!"

The general was so frightened that he winked again and again, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, keep your voice down, you won't make troubles."

The red-faced general sneered, and said: "Do you think we are still alive to come back here? What are you afraid of at this time? If it weren't for..., alas!" In the end, he still didn't dare to say what was in his heart, and he went to die this time. It's nothing, but after all, there is still a small family, so we can't implicate them.

Another young general who was only seventeen or eighteen years old frowned and said: "Master Chi, we have entered Lian Kelianjie this time, and the Zhao army fled in anticipation. According to the general, General Tong's analysis before dispatching troops may have some truth. The fierce battle with Xiping will stop, and the troops that have been transferred here have not been replenished in time, maybe we can really go down a few more cities."

The red-faced general known as General Chi is Kang Guoding's general Chi Sheng. He used to be a fierce general under the old general Huayang's tent. He has been guarding the frontier for a long time and has both courage and courage. The youngest son Hua Zhen, hearing what Hua Zhen said, Chi Sheng sighed, looked at him with loving eyes like an elder brother and said: "Zhener, although you have read a lot of military books, you haven't experienced many battles yet, and you haven't seen it yet." In the face of real danger, you must remember that you should not underestimate your opponent at any time. This is what the old general once taught me. Chi Sheng has always engraved it in his heart and dare not look at it. Today I will pass this sentence on to you. Don’t go for a river raid, and take 1000 troops to garrison the river bank here to respond.”

Hua Zhen seemed to be very unwilling in his heart, blushing and said: "My lord, I want to cross the river..."

Chi Sheng interrupted without further explanation: "This is a military order, so there is no need to say more."

Hua Zhen pursed her lips and reluctantly bowed to accept the order.

Chi Sheng's face softened slightly, and he leaned into his ear and whispered: "Remember, if we fall, you must not cross the river to rescue, and you don't have to guard the river bank. Run back quickly, do you understand?"

Hua Zhen widened his eyes and said, "This... this..."

Chi Sheng pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Silly Zhener, once we are ambushed by Jiao Gong, we have no chance of surviving. Others don't know about Jiao Gong, but I know its power very well. This person is familiar with it." The art of war has been battle-tested for a long time, and the reason why it is unknown is that it has been excluded by all parties and cannot display its talents. Now Zhao Wanghui has a good eye for talent, and he was promoted as the commander-in-chief of this side at the beginning of his succession. Hehe, to tell you the truth My father suffered from him when he guarded the frontier. At that time, Jiao Gong was just a partial general. He caught a negligence of the old general and burned a large amount of our food and grass with only 300 troops. There are more than [-] people."

"Is this Jiao Gong so powerful?" Hua Zhen frowned.

Chi Sheng's eyes showed desperation, and he said: "Zhao State has a vast territory and outstanding people. Once the Ming Lord is in power, he will be able to compete for world hegemony. Only ignorant people like Tong Leng will arrogantly regard Zhao State as a fish on the anvil. Alas, Zhao Guo really has a master now, but on our side..., alas! One is bright and the other is dark, one ebbs and another grows!"

"According to what your lord said, isn't our Kang country in danger?" Hua Zhen didn't quite believe his words, but seeing his expression like this, he was still a little worried.

Chi Sheng's eyes burst out with excitement, "If the military division returns, no matter how strong Zhao Guo is, forgive me for Zhao Wangtian's courage, and he will not dare to look at my Dechang City!" But soon the light in his eyes disappeared, and he It is natural to know that the military division has little hope of coming back.

Hua Zhen seemed to understand a little bit, and his previous strong confidence in this battle had been shaken, but after all, he was the general after all, and said firmly: "The last general thank you for your kindness, but the Hua family will never run away. I am here to respond, then I will never disgrace my life!"

Chi stared angrily, and seeing Hua Zhen's stubborn eyes, he shook his head and said slowly: "Zhen'er, I know you are a general, and you have such a spirit that the old general should be in the sky." I am relieved, but you have to know that it is better to keep a useful body than to die in vain. This is a must-have concern for those who achieve great things. You are the blood of the old general, and all the soldiers of the three armies have compassion for you. I am a traitor, you have to take good care of yourself, if the military division has a chance to come back, you have to rely on the help of loyal generals like you, don't underestimate yourself, look at my hundreds of thousands of troops, nearly half of the generals are out Under the tent of the old general, although you are young, but if you raise your arms, those uncles, uncles, and elder brothers will stand up to help you. Although the military adviser is a genius, but sometimes you debut, your qualifications are still inexperienced, and it is all thanks to the old general's support Only then can there be no internal constraints, otherwise you won’t be powerless to fight when you encounter a traitor and fall ill. Your status is special, and the Empress Dowager will treat the children of the Hua family with more color. You can help the military commander a lot at critical moments Busy, so take care of yourself."

These words made Hua Zhen seem to have grown up a lot. He who came from a famous family used to have only a sense of superiority and glory. At this moment, he faintly felt the sense of responsibility that belonged to him. Thinking about what Chi Sheng said about him, what he felt for him The prejudices have also been eliminated a lot, and when he returned to reality, he said anxiously: "My lord, since this is the case, why should my lord go to death? It is better to unite with the generals and directly write to the Queen Mother to report the truth."

Chi Sheng looked at him lovingly and smiled, and said: "You are still too young, the old general dotes on you too much, so that you don't know the danger of the court war, if it was useful, I would have written a book a long time ago, let me tell you, even if we The memorial was written, but the Queen Mother probably couldn't see it. Since the treachery and chaos, it is useless for the adults in the court to impeach in court, because there are no fewer than ten people who have been convicted by blunt words, and seven or eight people died for unknown reasons. , This is what I know, and who knows how much I don’t know.”

"Then... what should I do then?"

Chi Sheng lamented again, and said: "Now I have no way out. With the military order in hand, I will die under the military law. Although I will die, I can still have the name of martyrdom. I will win a seal for my family. As for you, After this battle, you'd better go home for the time being and wait and see how the situation changes. In case...if one day the military commander is also punished, it will be the end of the world, you...you..." Chi Sheng lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before finally He said softly: "You try to escape to Yi Country. Yi Guo's military master has old friends with the old general, and he is a very affectionate person. After hearing that the old general passed away, he even set up a memorial tablet in the Hidden Sage Valley. I don't think so It's up to you."

"You mean Junshi He?" Hua Zhen, the Junshi He who mentioned the state of Yi, had an excited face. He had already filled his ears with the deeds of Junshi He, but when Junshi He was in Kangguo, he was living in It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet my mentor's family to learn art. I think about it later.

Chi Sheng nodded, then frowned.

"Has your lord met Junshi He?" Hua Zhen asked with great interest.

"I have met twice, but I have no chance to talk." Chi Sheng smiled.

"Does he always have... the flashy smile on his face like everyone said? Hehe, my late father used the word flashy when he talked about his smile, but when he said it, he didn't show any disgust. Praise, what kind of smile is that?"

"Hehe, I can't say it either. The old general's word 'flashy' is very appropriate."

Excited Hua Zhen finally noticed General Chi's absent-mindedness, thinking that he must be thinking about the sneak attack at night at this time, and it was really inappropriate for him to talk about the Yi Guo army division now, so he hurriedly bowed and resigned.

Chi Sheng pulled him back and said, "Thank you, the old general, for entrusting you to me. Really, if I can't come back after this trip, you must act cautiously in the future. When you go back, find your Uncle Fang and tell me what I mean. Give it to him, he must have a way to help you disarm and go home, really, alas, I should have given you more advice earlier, because I have been in a bad mood since the old general passed away, and always It is inevitable that I miss the old general, so I avoid you most of the time, and then the military commander lost power, I became more depressed, and I cared less about you. I hope you will be considerate of me as an elder brother. In fact, I always think of you in my heart. He is regarded as my own brother, and he will plead guilty for me in front of the old lady after I go back, saying that I, Chi Sheng, was ashamed of being cultivated by the old general, and that I can no longer serve the Yang family. All young masters and ladies are safe and auspicious." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he bowed in the direction of Dechang.

Hua Zhen burst into tears. Ever since he came to Chi Sheng's tent, he was really dissatisfied with Chi Sheng's attitude towards him. He only thought that he was deliberately indifferent to him without thinking of his old kindness. Unexpectedly, this general with a rough appearance has such rich emotions in his heart. , I misunderstood him, and hastily bowed aside to thank his mother for his prayers. Just as he was about to say thanks, Chi Sheng saw a confidant of Tong Leng walking towards this side. He stopped Hua Zhen with his eyes, and his lips Weidong said: "The 1000 people I left for you are under the control of Mulong. This person does not agree with me. When the confidant in Tongleng is present, you just order Mulong to cross the river to rescue him. He will definitely shirk. The crime of cowardice fell on him, Tong Leng can't catch you, remember?"

Hua Zhen also saw Tong Leng's confidant, and closed his mouth and let out a "huh".

"Go and make arrangements, there must be no mistakes!" Chi Sheng waved his hand at him and said in a raised voice, then walked towards the man.

Hua Zhen turned her back and secretly wiped away the tears on her face, walking towards the camp full of sorrow.
