Longchuan’s military camp stood in a corner of the city.
When they entered the military camp, Yuchi Jin and the other two were stunned by the scene before them.
On the parade ground, nearly 60% of the Nanzhao soldiers lining up and training were boys of fifteen or sixteen years old. How could this scene not make people tremble
Since ancient times, although it is not uncommon for men to join the army at the age of 15, the average age of soldiers in any country's elite army will not be less than 18 years old.
The area of Jiannan is under the control of a military governor of Nanzhao. In the military camp, around 60% of the soldiers are teenagers. One can imagine how scarce young and middle-aged people are in this country.
In the past, the battle between Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty at Shengxianliang was extremely brutal, but after all, hearsay is false.
Only after entering Nanzhao and coming into close contact with the people of this country did I gain a deeper understanding of the impact of that war.
It has been several years since that great war, and the army of Nanzhao is still full of young faces. One can imagine how many elite soldiers of Nanzhao were burned by that fire.
As the three were sighing in their hearts, a rough-looking man in his twenties walked over.
The man looked impatient, as if Yuchi Jin and the other two were a group of annoying flies, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Are you blind? Can't you see that this is a military camp?"
"A military stronghold is not a place you can trespass in. Get out, all of you!"
Such a bad attitude made the kind-hearted Yuchi Jin frown; unfortunately, the one who was really blind should be himself. Yuchi Jin might not care about him, but some people were angry.
Geng Yan narrowed his eyes, said nothing, took two steps forward, and without giving the other party a chance to react, he grabbed him by the collar in an instant.
"Asshole, what do you want to do?" The man only felt a flash before his eyes, and a figure appeared in front of him. Before he could even reach out to touch the machete at his waist, he suddenly felt his body lighten, his breath was choked, and he was lifted up by the other party.
A voice so cold that it could freeze a person to death suddenly rang in his ears: "You bastard, keep your mouth shut. Believe it or not, I can kill you dozens of times in one breath."
The voice was cold and without a trace of emotion.
This sturdy young barbarian was so frightened that his soul left his body.
In addition, his neck was being strangled by Geng M, so he couldn't even scream for help. He could only desperately stretch out his hands to pry away Geng M's hand that was strangling his neck.
From a distance, it looked like Geng Xin was holding a kicking piglet in his hand, preventing the man from shouting or struggling free and he could only gasp for breath.
Yuchi Jin was also very relieved when she saw this scene; as the saying goes, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. She had just arrived at the military camp and hadn't taken office yet, but she encountered a mad dog that bit people indiscriminately. How could she not be angry
But no matter how he vented his anger, he couldn't let anything get out of hand. If he strangled the other person's neck as roughly as Geng M did for a long time, the other person would inevitably suffocate to death, and then the problem would be troublesome.
But before she could open her mouth to stop Geng M, she saw countless barbarian soldiers suddenly rushing over and surrounding the three of them in an instant.
After all, this is a military camp. Even if this young barbarian general cannot call for help, this is not a place where he can do whatever he wants. The slightest movement will be noticed.
Looking around, the three people were surrounded by a silver-white scene, with bright flashes of swords everywhere.
How could these barbaric soldiers just sit there and watch their comrades being held hostage? They immediately rushed forward, each holding a machete.
Han Xun, who was beside Yuchi Jin, immediately drew out the machete from his waist with a clang when he saw this scene, rushed to Yuchi Jin and blocked him behind him.
The confrontation started instantly. If these barbarians had not been concerned about the young general in Geng Xin's hand, they would have rushed forward long ago. Even so, countless threats and curses were rang out.
"Asshole, put Luo Juzi down now, or don't blame us for being rude."
"Put down Luo Juzi and leave your body intact. Otherwise, I will chop you into minced meat."
"Yes, put down your Luozhuzi, otherwise you came in vertically and can only leave horizontally."
... ...
This sudden scene left Yuchi Jin stunned. For a moment, she was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind the crowd: "You bastards, why are you standing here instead of going to training? Do you all want to die?"
Following the sound, the barbaric soldiers who had been so aggressive just now retreated like a tide in an instant.
A spacious corridor suddenly appeared in front of the three people. Through the corridor, Yuchi Jin and the other two saw a barbarian general with a leopard head and round eyes walking towards them angrily.
The man was more than six feet tall, with a broad back and strong arms, and was very brutal.
He was seen scolding the barbarian soldiers around him while staring at Geng?m without blinking. There was no other reason. Geng?m was very conspicuous at the moment, and he was holding a kicking young barbarian in his hand. How could the newcomer not see him
Seeing this scene, the visitor's eyes twitched slightly.
That was a Luojuzi, and not just any ordinary Luojuzi.
In the Nanzhao army, Luo Juzi had the reputation of being one in a hundred, but being Luo Juzi did not necessarily mean one had equal strength.
Yuchi Jin could be promoted directly to Luojuzi by going through the back door, and naturally others could do the same; moreover, there were quite a few such people. Many children of nobles and high-ranking officials wanted to at least become Luojuzi in order to gild their reputation in the army.
But the Luo Juzi held in Geng Yan's hand was truly one in a hundred.
He came from a humble background, without any background, but relied on his own strength and worked hard step by step to get to where he is today. Even in the military, he is well-known.
But such a person was now being held in someone's hands like a dead dog, struggling but unable to fight back. How could the barbarian general not be surprised
The general came closer, his eyes skipped over Yuchi Jin and Han Xun, and looked directly at Geng Xin, and asked solemnly: "Can you put the person down first?"
This sentence was by no means an order, but rather a tone of negotiation; it was quite polite for a general in the army to speak to an unknown person in such a tone.
But even so, Geng Yan didn't even shake him off, but turned to look at Yuchi Jin.
Only after Yuchi Jin nodded to him imperceptibly did Geng Yan throw the Luo Juzi away like a rag.
"Bang"
There was a loud bang, followed by a cloud of dust. Obviously, Geng?m had shown mercy, but when he looked at the fallen Luo Juzi, he did not get up for a long time, as if he had lost his breath.
This scene, which showed no respect at all, made the barbarians furious. If the general was not right in front of them, it would not be their turn to meddle. These big-headed teenagers would have rushed forward long ago.
Turning around to look at Geng?m, he saw that after doing all this, he was like nothing had happened. He instantly returned to Yuchi Jin's side and stood respectfully beside her, looking like a family general or servant.
It was not until this time that all the barbarians, both generals and officers, finally began to take Yuchi Jin, the seemingly frail young man, seriously.
The most surprised person to see this scene was the barbarian general. He had been in the army for several years and had never seen a warrior as fierce as Geng M. That was why he spoke politely just now.
When he saw Geng Xin, who looked up to Yuchi Jin, he couldn't help but wonder if he had seen it wrong. Could it be that this frail young man was stronger than that sturdy warrior
In the military, especially in the era of cold weapons, unless there is a special reason, a brave general will never be willing to be inferior to the weak.
Geng Xin was willing to follow Yuchi Jin's lead, so in the eyes of the barbarian general, Yuchi Jin, this thin young man, must be stronger than Geng Xin, otherwise it would be inexplicable.
After realizing this, the barbarian general immediately turned to look at Yuchi Jin and said solemnly: "I am Shanyi from the army. Who are you and why did you trespass into the military camp?"
Shanyi is equivalent to the position of Zhongfu Duwei in the Tang army system, and can command a thousand people;
It is impossible that there is only one Shanyi under the command of a Jiedushi. After Geng?m beat up a Luojuzi, this barbarian Shanyi jumped out. It seems that Luojuzi is either under the command of this Shanyi or this Shanyi is on duty today.
Whatever the reason, Yuchi Jin had no choice but to deal with it carefully.
After hearing the barbarian general's question, Yuchi Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Yuchi Jin, and I am here to take over the position of Luo Juzi by the order of the governor. This is the document."
After he finished speaking, Yuchi Jin handed the document signed by Shi Long himself to the barbarian general.
The barbarian general took the document and just glanced at it casually, then confirmed Yuchi Jin's identity. His brows slightly frowned again, and then he suddenly thought of something. He immediately turned his head to look at Luo Juzi, who was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, and said sternly: "Hua Yi, take your men and report to General Qian. From now on, you will no longer be under my command."
"Ah" Luo Juzi, who had been howling, waited for a long time and suddenly heard that his own Shan Yi gave him such a result. He was stunned for a moment.
"What? Qian Shanyi is short of people and has been asking me for you for a long time. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to let you go and work for him." The barbarian general said seriously.
Having said that, he kept glancing at Yuchi Jin and the other two from time to time, and his flickering eyes more or less betrayed his true thoughts.
Although Hua Yi is not bad, he pales in comparison to Yuchi Jin.
A small follower of Yuchi Jin could easily take down Hua Yi, so how could Hua Yi compare with Yuchi Jin? Since there was a better choice, the barbarian general kicked Hua Yi out in an instant.
After sending Hua Yi away, the barbarian general smiled and looked at Yuchi Jin and said, "Since you are a new Luo Juzi, you are one of us. It just so happens that I am short of a capable Luo Juzi. I am very optimistic about you. You can follow me."
But before he finished speaking, a loud and urgent shout suddenly came from a distance: "Shameless, Xia Luopi, you bastard, you want to intercept, don't you?"
