Just as Gou Liang and Han Zhan expected, after the New Year's Eve, the emperor issued a decree on the day of the opening of the dynasty to let Han Zhan go back to the customs to prepare for the war.
Years ago, the Marquis of Shuyang submitted the letter of request to change his son, but the old emperor did not publish it, but he promoted Han Yi, the second son of the Marquis of Shuyang, as a fourth-rank general, and set out with the army. Metaphor.
The cold spring is cold, withered grass crawling on the yellow and black soil, the spring is still dormant in the dark, no new life is seen along the way, and the eyes are full of bleakness.
It wasn't until entering the territory of Shuyang City and hearing the hustle and bustle of people that there was a trace of vitality.
There are no real ordinary people in Shuyang City. Even if the people living in the city are not registered as military soldiers, they are raising auxiliary soldiers for the army, or their parents are auxiliary soldiers. The atmosphere of the year at the border gate is relatively dull, but with the beginning of spring, even if the weather is still cold, the people in the city have begun to resume their activities inside and outside the city.
Today is their spring hunting day, a team of hundreds of young and strong attacked the wolves and gained a lot.
The warrior who hunted the wolf was holding up his trophy, running shirtless in the street surrounded by the crowd, shouting excitedly, the crowd responded and applauded, how lively!
It was the first time Han Yi saw this scene. He saw many people setting up a fire to barbecue and distribute it to the neighbors. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Brother, this is really lively."
Seeing his joy, Gou Liang laughed at his innocence: "Can you stop having sex after two months? Don't read it yet. If you are interested, let's save it and see what gift your good second uncle prepared for you."
Han Yi responded obediently and looked away, but he didn't look at Gou Liang's face.
Facing Gou Liang's bearded and pockmarked face, he is still terrified.
Just yesterday, when Gou Liang walked away to relieve himself, a reckless man with a big knife suddenly came out and wanted to collect tolls from them. He was just a fledgling, and when he saw his enthusiasm, he rushed to the front, completely oblivious to the interested eyes of Han Zhan and Mu Hang. Then Han Yi was dragged off the horse by the "bearded robber" like a chicken without any accident, and he had no ability to resist.
The man touched his face wretchedly, and laughed loudly: "Where did you come from, let me kiss you."
"Let him go."
Han Zhan, sitting high on the horse, said coldly.
Only then did the robber notice him, and suddenly his eyes widened, full of amazement.
He threw Han Yi away, and grabbed the reins of Han Zhan's horse with his hands-with a pair of powerful hands, Han Zhan's horse was forced to kneel down forcefully.
Han Yi, who fell to the ground and raised his head, only saw the daring robber approaching Han Zhan, raised his chin with his fingers, and laughed loudly in a rough voice: "You are so handsome, Mr. I didn't take this trip today in vain. How about it, little man, how about going back to the village with me to be my wife in the village? I promise, I will love you well."
As he said that, the ugly, vulgar and sloppy man kissed Han Zhan's mouth.
Han Yi's brain exploded at once, and he roared heart-piercingly—
"The thief! Let go of my big brother!!!"
One night passed, and when I thought of myself who drew his sword and rushed forward to fight Gou Liang desperately, I could still hear Gou Liang lying on Han Zhan's body laughing and saying, "Your brother is so cute, what a joke I made this year!" That's enough, hahaha!" Then Han Yi wished he hadn't found a hole in the ground to get in.
Thinking about it afterwards, it's not that he cares about chaos, but that he has no brains.
Who is his elder brother
The man known as the God of War, the title of being the number one master of martial arts in Tianyang is by no means a lie, he didn't even notice anything wrong at that time - Han Zhan didn't resist, Mu Hang didn't make a move, in fact, it was the biggest hint to him, Reluctantly, he just jumped into Gou Liang's pit with a single muscle.
Hey... It's just that he is still too sweet.
Seeing that he still looked ashamed and angry, Gou Liang couldn't help but wink at Han Zhan.
Han Zhan gave him a look of "don't spoil the child", Gou Liang nodded seriously, raised his whip to urge his horse forward, and shouted at the shirtless man who was still showing off his wolf, "Chen!" Eighth, whoever sees it has a share, and send a leg to me later, it's a slippery one!"
Before the words fell, he was already hundreds of meters away.
After the noisy crowd fell silent, more enthusiastic shouts erupted: "Master Chang is back! Big guy, it's Master Chang who's back!!"
The strong man called Chen Ba hurriedly chased after a few steps, and shouted: "Lieutenant Chang, I will give you wolf legs, you accept me as an apprentice, if you don't accept me, I won't give it away!" Seeing that Gou Liang had run away and disappeared , he shouted at the top of his voice: "Accept me as an apprentice, you can give the whole one to you, Master!!"
Han Yi urged his horse to catch up with Han Zhan and Mu Hang, and seeing the crowd fell into a different kind of excitement from before, they rushed to tell each other that Captain Chang was back, and all the gushing emotions were filled with joy, so he couldn't help but wonder: he The eldest brother is here alive, why haven't the people in Shuyang City expressed anything.
Mu Hang leaned over, smiled and said to him: "The general is low-key, and doesn't often move around on the street. When he isn't wearing armor, these people can't recognize him."
Han Yi was still in a daze, "Brother Wei...uh, what did Captain Chang do? Why do people here seem to... meet their own father when they see him?"
Mu Hang was amused by his description, and he sped up his horse and said loudly to him while eating the cold wind: "Before Captain Chang came, the people here didn't have much livelihood, and their lives were bitter and cold, and they couldn't even afford enough food. Yes Captain Chang taught them how to make a living, and now every single fur and fur in Shuyang City has been exported to the south of the Yangtze River, and the life of the big guys has suddenly become more prosperous. Do you think they don't care about Captain Chang?"
Han Yi exclaimed: "As expected of Wei Da... Brother Chang."
The four of them left the inner city all the way and arrived at the Shuyang Military Camp located in the northern suburb of Shuyang City.
Unlike the hustle and bustle in the city, the barracks, which was supposed to be training loudly, was unexpectedly quiet, and the quiet Han Yi couldn't help but tense up.
From a distance, the gates of the barracks could be seen closed tightly, and the sharp wooden thorns on the fence glowed coldly in the sun, giving outsiders an invisible shock. The guards stood straight and had no communication at all. There was a deadly silence, which was so oppressive that one couldn't breathe.
"This..." Could it be that there was an enemy attack
Han Yi subconsciously tightened the rein.
Gou Liang snorted, looked at Han Zhan and said, "I overestimated your second uncle, he's willing to take this kind of stalking, I'll show him what it means to truly win without fighting." Soldiers."
The one who worries most about receiving the news of their backlash is not King Ximang, who is angry with Zanbu for claiming to have an enmity with Tianyang, but Han Zhan's second uncle, Han Rong.
The cold winter is the time to recuperate, Han Rong, the new official's three fires have not yet been fired, and he is looking forward to surviving this difficult three months, so that he can show his grand plans and pinch the real power of the Shuyang Army in one fell swoop. in hand. For this reason, he has been thinking about it day and night, and he has already planned it carefully and has a plan in his chest.
Unexpectedly, before he could show his skills, the old emperor changed his mind temporarily and brought Han Zhan, the god of death, back to Shuyang City.
This is good, he jumped in anger but it didn't help. For the current plan, we can only compare with Han Zhan whose methods are tougher. Anyway, the emperor didn't order him to return to the old place, he insisted on not leaving, even if Han Zhan came, he couldn't drive him away.
He thought that Gou Liang and Han Zhan knew this well, and he knew with his toes that the scene in front of him was the work of Han Rong, who was acting as the main general.
Han Zhan saw that he was very playful, so he said, "It's up to you, but don't hurt yourself."
"Of order, sir~"
Gou Liang raised his hand holding the whip, and saluted Han Zhan's indecently.
Then he pinched the horse's belly and urged the horse forward. The horses continued to accelerate, and the sound of horseshoes caught the attention of the soldiers on guard. They raised their guns and shouted: "Who, stop the horse! Otherwise, you will be punished as trespassing on a military plane!"
Gou Liang lifted the reins and shouted: "Drive!"
The horse raised its hooves, jumped up, and majestically crossed the high three-layer wooden thorn fence and the heads of the guarding soldiers, and stopped a few meters away.
Gou Liang reined in the horse, laughed loudly and said: "Boys, the master is back, why don't you come out quickly to pick him up!"
Hearing his voice, the guard shouted in surprise: "Lieutenant Chang, you are back!"
They put away their spears and ran forward one after another.
Just as Gou Liang was about to dismount, he saw that the barracks was still so deadly and quiet, so he sat cross-legged on the horse's back and said angrily, "Why are there just you and the others? Are you embroidering in the room?"
His voice was thick and loud, and it spread quickly in the quiet camp.
The surprised expression of the guard dimmed for a moment. Looking around, a person came forward and explained: "Lieutenant Chang, you can be considered to be back. You don't know, since that acting general came, we—"
"Who is making noise?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a stern voice. Although the guard was dissatisfied with the visitor, he was jealous, and gave Gou Liang a look of "it's him, be careful" before closing his mouth.
Han Rong, who came with a group of horses and horses, was much smaller than the volume, and Gou Liang was much taller than him sitting on the horseback. Han Rong, who was posing with his hands behind his back and wanted to continue to reprimand him, had to look up at him, and his expression suddenly changed. It's hard to see: "Who are you? I was going to ask you a question, but you dare not answer politely!"
"Yo, what a majesty." Gou Liang looked down at him, and then asked the guards beside him, "Which green onion is this short winter melon? Why have you never seen it before?"
The guard was about to answer, when Gou Liang waved his hand and said disinterestedly: "Forget it, I know it's not a good thing to look so ugly, I'm too lazy to ask."
Everyone in the Shuyang Army knew that Captain Chang's mouth had always been unforgiving, so they almost couldn't laugh out loud.
Han Rong was even more furious, and said with a gloomy face, "Zhuzi is bold! Someone, beat him down!"
"yes!"
Han Rong's lackeys are about to strike.
Gou Liang raised his hand leisurely, "Wait a minute."
As he said that, he picked it up in his arms, grabbed a rabbit, said no, then stuffed it back, and pulled out again, grabbed a handful of wild flowers, it wasn't it. He took out several things one after another, not to mention the Shuyang sergeant who had seen him perform magic tricks in pursuit of General Han, even Han Rong and others who didn't know what was going on knew that Gou Liang was amusing them.
Han Rong was furious: "Don't do it yet!"
Surprised by Gou Liang's tricks, the running dog hurried to pull Gou Liang, only to hear him yell again: "Hey, I found it!"
As soon as the words fell, he threw a bright yellow object into Han Rong's arms.
Han Rong caught it subconsciously, and almost cried out in fright at the sight.
It was an imperial decree!
Gou Liang sat on the horse and leaned over to look at him, "Do you know how to read? Read to Master what is written on it?"
Han Rong was in doubt, but the imperial decree gave him a hundred courage and he dared not neglect it. He opened the imperial decree tremblingly and read:
In the winter of the thirty-seventh year of Yuyang, Kui Chou in December, Emperor Zhengyu of Tianyang issued an edict: I have heard that you are virtuous, and that you are rewarded with talent. Shuyang Military Academy Lieutenant Changxuan Ning Suwei is Zhongzheng, with outstanding meritorious deeds. Canonized as a general of the third rank Zhonglang, Qin this.
Han Rong's voice became lower and lower, and the hand holding the imperial decree was tightly squeezed, shaking uncontrollably.
Gou Liang got off his horse and walked towards Han Rong leisurely, "What kind of rank does this general officer worship? Maybe he ordered this general?" Han Rong didn't need to answer, Gou Liang stroked his beard, and smiled as if he just remembered: "Look at my memory, General Han Rong Han is a dignified general from the third rank, how could I have forgotten it?"
Seeing Han Rong's complexion changed drastically, he bit down on the three characters from three grades, and took back the imperial decree from his hand with satisfaction, patted the folds on it, and stuffed the imperial decree back into his chest casually.
"General Han, please take it easy. Breaking the imperial decree is a serious crime that will lead to beheading. See how I think about you."
Han Rong was so angry and startled that he couldn't say anything for a moment.
He originally held back all his energy to compete with Han Zhan, but he didn't expect that before Han Zhan came, he would actually look forward to the return of the famous ghost talent Shashen of the Shuyang Army. Originally, Han Rong didn't pay attention to him as a mere fifth-rank school lieutenant. If he didn't see those veteran fourth-rank generals in the Shuyang Army, wouldn't he obediently obey his orders
This is the benefit of being crushed to death by the first rank of officials.
But I never expected that this guy would become a third-rank general after disappearing for a few months. Han Rong was so angry that he was dizzy with the rules that never hurt him.
Gou Liang: "Now you can tell me, is the whole army resting for a bath today or is the whole army going to ask for a wife? Where did they go to fool around without training? General Han, these wolf cubs are itchy no matter what you do. Indulging them is not good. This general knows that you love them for their hard work, but if the emperor knows that you have failed the emperor so much, he will probably ask you for it."
Han Rong was furious in his heart, but Gou Liang smiled and tried to persuade him, but he still had to answer.
I can only say aggrievedly: "General Chang misunderstood, the army is training in the field today, and other soldiers who did not participate in the training rotation are resting in the barracks."
Gou Liang was surprised, "The weather is so good, and these bastards actually sleep under the blankets? I have eaten cold wind and cold water all the way, and I am not willing to close my eyes. They will enjoy it. Go, give them all Shout out, if you don’t beat them up today, they don’t know the rules anymore.”
"Yes, General!"
The four guards deserved to be especially loud.
Gou Liang didn't give Han Rong a chance to speak, put his shoulders on his shoulders, and walked in with the short man: "General Han, you can't do this."
"These wolf cubs are all climbing up the poles. You still spoil them so much, maybe one day they will climb on your head. I know you used to be in charge of the Neizhou garrison, and there are all oily heads there. , you don’t have to fight every day thinking about how to have fun. If you drink a little wine and listen to a little song every day, and put on your identity in front of your subordinates, the group of soft-legged shrimp will be obedient. But that’s not the case in our Shuyang Army. does not work… "
Gou Liangxu babbled, with a compassionate heart taught by his predecessors.
Little did they know that Han Rong, who was in the oil-headed and soft-footed shrimp community, vomited more than three pots of blood.
By the time they entered the camp, the remaining soldiers had assembled.
Seeing them standing upright in the cold wind, Gou Liang nodded in satisfaction at their mental outlook, threw Han Rong on his lackey, clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "Brothers, I'm back, do you want to miss my brother?" me?"
He opened his arms and flashed a charming smile hidden by a beard.
Soldiers, look at me, I look at you, I don't know who yelled first: "I miss you, Captain Chang!" All of a sudden, the suppressed emotions of the soldiers were ignited, and thousands of people shouted and laughed, standing in front More than a dozen people rushed forward, lifted Gou Liang and threw it into the soldiers.
Gou Liang was so rumored all the way, the soldiers shouted and shouted, laughed and booed one after another—the anguish and dissatisfaction that had been suffocated by Han Rong for three months suddenly vented out at this time, and disappeared.
The three of Han Zhan watched this scene from the high slope, and the atmosphere in the barracks was completely different from the dead silence just now, and they were also infected.
Muhang laughed and said, "There is always a way. I thought I would have to listen to their whimpering complaints when I go back."
Han Zhan laughed, his face full of undisguised pride.
When Gou Liang finally hit the ground, his hair was messed up.
He yelled: "You can break your hair and don't mess up your hairstyle. How many times have I told you that anyone who touched my head just now will wait for me!"
As he spoke, he straightened his hair up again neatly, wiped his head with both hands, and said with a smile: "The entertainment time is over, I'll give you time to count to three, and I'll stand up for you."
He said it in a joking tone, but the sergeants here, whether they have personally experienced his methods or witnessed them, did not dare to neglect, and immediately lined up at the fastest speed, restrained their smiles, and straightened their backs.
"very good."
Gou Liang snapped his fingers and raised his voice: "Next, let us welcome our greatest, most handsome, and my favorite General Han Zhan Han back to the camp with the most enthusiastic cheers!"
Surprise burst into the eyes of the soldiers, Gou Liang raised his hand and took the lead in shouting: "General!"
The soldiers raised their weapons and responded in unison: "General!"
Gou Liang: "The general is mighty, Shuyang is invincible!"
"The general is mighty, Shuyang is invincible!"
"The general is mighty, Shuyang is invincible!!"
The soldiers kept shouting slogans, Han Zhan smiled and said to the left and right: "Let's go."
