Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The sun in Xifeng came in from the entrance of the alley, and a shadow on the ground was stretched very long. Yao Erniu walked home with his head drooping, looking at the shadows on the ground, looking lonely. The high-spirited shouts on the battlefield flashed in my mind, and the exciting charge; the hustle and bustle, the blood rushing courageous mood, gradually passed away with the wind in this shabby alley, as if in a distant place.

When Yao Erniu returned home, his cousin greeted her and talked excitedly about the shop. He didn't even listen.

He married his cousin as a daughter-in-law when he came back, and also hosted a banquet... Yao Erniu used to think that he was rich. He came back to marry the cousin who gave him his purse when he was parting, and then let the family members have food. Now that he is satisfied with everything, there are shops, land, and money left. At least the people who want to eat at home no longer worry about starving; but he doesn't know what's going on, and he still can't be happy.

At this time, a group of people were chattering in the hall, discussing how to find tenants, how to collect rent, and what business the shop should do.

The cousin touched Yao Erniu: "What business do you want to do?"

Yao Erniu was stunned. He suddenly realized that he could not do anything, so he said casually: "I know how to cultivate land..."

The cousin shook her head and said, "It's better to do business in Tokyo if you have less harvest. Doing business is lighter, so you don't have to work hard to watch the shop."

Yao Erniu said nothing. He didn't know what he would do or what he could do. He also felt that it was meaningless to stay in the shop all day long. He was very confused... I thought that when I was in the army, what we did was to siege the city and destroy the country. , The enemy emperors are all terrified under our horseshoes; think about it now, I don’t know what use he is.

"I don't want to leave the Forbidden Army!" Yao Erniu said suddenly.

The cousin was stunned, and hurriedly persuaded him after a moment: "Our family has land and property, and the battlefield is dangerous. Why bother with my cousin?"

Yao Erniu said solemnly: "It's not that easy to die. The Tiger and Cardiac Army left 20,000 people. They fought many battles in the south of the Yangtze River. There were not many deaths in total, and 20 people could not die. The Forbidden Army has a high salary, and I have one. People’s military pay is more than selling and collecting land rent, and it’s not a reward!"

After a while, his mother and aunt came up to persuade him, but they couldn't persuade him. Yao Erniu is worried that the list of time delays and resignations will be reported, and he will go to the military camp in a hurry.

...The guard at the gate of the camp recognized Yao Erniu and took him to the camp. There were a dozen or so people in ragged clothes outside the camp who were guarded there. Yao Erniu did not know who they were. Entering the house, a burly man was sitting in the upper position, the commander Zhang Jiankui, and there were some generals and three rags beside him.

Zhang Jiankui turned his head and looked over: "Yao Er, what's the matter with you?"

Yao Erniu said dullly: "I want to stay, and be a miscellaneous soldier..."

Zhang Jiankui looked at him immediately and asked, "Joining the army is just selling your life. Do you want to understand?"

"I want to understand." Yao Erniu nodded.

Zhang Jiankui ignored him and turned to look at a strong young man. The man was dirty and torn, and his hair was still stained with dirt and grass, and a strange smell came out. Zhang Jiankui asked, "Where are the people?"

The strong man said: "Yizhou."

Zhang Jiankui asked again: "Where is Yizhou?"

The strong man said: "Zhao Shuyuan."

Zhang Jiankui asked what his name was, and he said it was Zhao Hu. Zhang Jiankui asked him to take off his shirt, and the man obediently stripped off his dirty clothes. Zhang Jiankui looked at his half-naked body and nodded: "He has a good foundation, with a big chest and a thin waist. He seems to be a man who can work. There is a stone on the threshold. You can show it to Lao Tzu."

Without saying anything, Zhao Hu strode over and hugged the stone, "Hey! Hey..." he shouted twice and didn't hold him up.

"Haha..." Several ministers laughed.

Zhao Hu looked embarrassed and blushed and said, "I'm sure I can hold this stone! But we walked from Hebei to Tokyo and begged for food along the way. I was so hungry that I was too hungry. The general gave me a pancake and tried again! "

Zhang Jiankui's gaze moved down, and when he saw that Zhao Hu's feet were tied with some hay rags and ropes, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and the soldiers went to get food. Zhang Jiankui turned his head and said solemnly: "Call Zhang Ying."

Zhang Ying was the military envoy (dutou) of the capital of Youzhou. The first emperor expeditioned to the vicinity of Zhuozhou. Zhang Ying took the opportunity to grab the horses of the Khitan ranch with a group of men and ran to the Zhou army. His subordinates have successively received many soldiers from northern Hebei...Yizhou was also a territory belonging to the Liao Kingdom a few years ago, and Zhang Jiankui wanted Zhang Ying to find out the origins of these people.

Not long after, a big man with a round head entered the camp and asked that Zhao Hu was from Zhao Shuyuan, Zhang Ying suddenly patted his forehead: "At the end of the day, there will be a soldier who said that his hometown is called Zhao Shuyuan, and he called to ask. "

When the soldier walked in, he chatted with Zhao Hu in a short while. "Isn't there a pond in the east of your village?" "Yes, a few years ago there was a new daughter-in-law who just passed the house a few days ago. She washed her clothes and fell in and drowned..."

Zhang Jiankui smiled and listened for a while, then said to Zhang Ying: "Those people will be handed over to you, and they will be settled according to the rules, and they will be posted." He ignored the people in the house and got up and left. Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists, and the new man Zhao Hu also clasped their fists.

Zhang Ying nodded slightly when he saw this, and said: "You have over twenty people here, and you can tell you that those who are on guard will stay first; later in the army, you will be sent back to the local area to find relatives and friends in the village for security. The roster is signed there, so don't lie... Our Tigers are the most elite troops in the Great Zhou, and we don't accept fugitives who are criminals and idlers.

Everyone first becomes a miscellaneous soldier. People with good bones and high savvy will learn the rules and basic martial arts, and they will soon be promoted to the army; those who cannot do it will be eliminated and go to the camp and farm. "

"Hey!" Zhao Hu nodded vigorously.

"We have lost some people in the left arm of the Tiger Cardiac Army in Southern Tang. We are about to replenish our troops. You are in a good time, otherwise it would be more difficult to enter the Tiger Cardiac Army." Zhang Ying said, "You said just now that you would beg from Hebei to join the army in Tokyo. , So why?"

Zhao Hu's face suddenly showed a look of shame and anger, and his teeth clenched loudly: "The Khitan people destroyed my family, killed my father, and abused me... and killed the Khitan people in the army for revenge!"

"Huh!" Zhang Ying did not agree, but coldly said, "The Forbidden Army is not a place for you to avenge your personal revenge. You must obey the military order! If you don't listen to the order, you go to the battlefield and think you are very fierce and just run around. !"

Zhao Hu was stunned.

There was a thinner general next to him, his eyes were not so fierce, and he spoke kindly at this moment: "Zhao Hu, since you have a deep hatred, why don't you go to the Liao people for revenge, but come to Tokyo to join the army?"

Zhao Hu frowned and said, "I can't beat the Khitan. Some people in the Great Zhou Army have weapons. Only when you are in the army can you beat the Khitan."

The thin military commander said: "What if the Great Zhou Army can't beat the Liao Army?"

Zhao Hu: "..."

The thin general said calmly: "If the military order is not effective and the military discipline is lax and chaotic, it will be a mob, and it will definitely not be able to defeat the Liao army, which has been riding on horses and shooting for many years." He turned to look at Zhang Ying, with respect. "Envoy Zhang is an envoy to the capital of Youzhou. Most of his staff are Han'er near Youzhou, and he has suffered from Liao people's crimes. However, we fought Shu and Nantang again, and we did not rush to deal with it for several years. Liao, the soldiers are still desperate, what do you know?"

Zhao Hu looked blank.

The thin military commander said: "When today, I was our chief commander, and told the generals a very simple truth. If the imperial court is unrighteous and does not relieve the worries of the future, we will not be able to spare no effort to deal with the enemy of Liao. We want revenge. If you want to regain lost ground, you must win the fight. If you can't beat it recklessly and go to death, what's the point? It's not too late for a gentleman to revenge for ten years."

Zhang Ying said: "This will make it clear first, and think about it earlier. The military law is ruthless. If you disobey the military order, whoever cares what you have, you will be punished severely if you do not recognize it!"

At this time, Zhao Hu clasped his fist and said: "The Caomin is willing to serve the Tiger and Ben Army!"

"Do you want to understand?" Zhang Ying asked.

Zhao Hu said: "General Zhang said, I believe that the forbidden army can fight, this is where I want to go."

Zhang Ying smiled and said, "It's a man with a long brain."

At this time, a soldier came up to eat, and Zhang Ying asked people to greet the ragged men outside. For a while, everyone didn't say a word, holding the cake and the soup was just a meal.

...

Jin Ge iron horse dreams. In the quiet Charity Hall, Guo Shaogang took a nap for a while, and people turned over frequently on the couch, his expression on his face was not calm at all.

It may not be regarded as a sequelae of the war, but Guo Shao has left too many memories after several years of fighting. From time to time, he would hear the sound of horseshoes and fights in his dreams, even in the quiet and safe Tokyo Palace ~www.readwn.com~ holding a brush every day, but his heart still can't calm down!

He had a nightmare, he didn't know what battlefield he was on, and he didn't know what happened. What I saw was bloody, the blood-red setting sun hung on the top of the mountain, and there was blood everywhere.

Can Qi was drooping not far away, and he saw a pair of round eyes, ah... the man was screaming, full of fear. He saw the cutting edge on the flesh and blood, dark red and soft, making people twitch, and the fishy smell was nauseating...

Guo Shao woke up suddenly, his heart was still beating, and he sat up slowly and let out a long breath. I heard the "jiji" bugs outside the screen window. In the midsummer season, even if there are few plants in the palace, there are still some bugs in the corner. Then he smelled a faint scent, the scent wafting from the bronze incense pot.

Guo Shao wiped his forehead with his sleeve, only to realize that his sweat was coming out. Today, after a day in the sun, it was quite hot next night. He got up and sat down on a chair, when someone came in with tea. He turned his head to see that it was Dong Sanmei, and asked, "Where is Yulian?"

Dong Sanmei said: "Sister Yulian went to do needlework, and let her servants look after Your Majesty." r1058
