65. Hundred households

Ah Hao gave up literature and joined the military, and he was a new imperial examiner, and before he joined the team, he was sealed a six-grade small military attache with 100 households, so that the officials could bring their own soldiers to escort them. He also prepared two people, one Zeng Dashan and the other Zeng Changping, because there were not many people on hand. These two people have the highest kung fu, especially Zeng Dashan, not to mention blocking ten with one, at least he can beat three with one. Zeng Changping is only fifteen years old, he looks inconspicuous, and he has become more and more stable in recent years, because Zeng Dashan trained them by training secret guards, so although his kung fu is not very strong, he also has some real skills.

At the same time, the children of the noble family in Jingzhong were all named six products and one hundred households, and each of them brought their own personal guards to escort them, and the soldiers who gathered together and the guards in each prefecture formed a large army of soldiers, led by King Ping to prepare for departure.

Ah Hao also made all preparations for this. After all, if you go to the battlefield with your head in your hand, you can't come back alive, and everything is in vain. Therefore, it is not only necessary to make war achievements, but also to ensure that you have to come back alive, and it is best to have all the tails.

Before the appointment of the boss arrived, Ah Hao had a deep talk with Geng Qiu, and Geng Qiu knew that his greatest wish was to rehabilitate the general, so it was impossible to stop him. In addition, now that the emperor's order has been issued, it is impossible to block it. Therefore, what Geng Qiu can do is to prepare as much necessary equipment as possible for him.

Geng Qiu first made three pieces of fine iron back armor, which were actually two round pieces of iron, sewn into the clothes, which could protect the front chest and back, so that Ah Hao and Zeng Dashan could take them, and wear them during the war, at least one more layer of protection. In addition, Dr. Li also made a lot of good medicines for Ah Hao and the three of them, the medicine for external injuries must not be missing, and the life-saving pill and the antidote pill are also indispensable. Produced by Dr. Li, the quality of the medicine has nothing to say, but just these pills and those packets of medicinal powder cost nearly a thousand taels of silver, all of which are high-end goods, and many of the medicines have been treasured by Dr. Li for many years.

In the end, Geng Qiu also prepared some dry food for Ah Hao and them. After the loss of Xinzhou, the nearby cities were also plundered by the Northern Barbarian Army, the garrisons in various places were basically killed and wounded, this year's autumn grain was basically not handed over, and the country's grain depot was obviously insufficient. Therefore, Geng Qiu fried rice, soybeans, sesame seeds and other things, ground them into flour, and mixed them with salt. Let Ah Hao and his entourage bring it. Each of them brought about thirty pounds. This kind of powder can be eaten directly, it can be washed into a paste with boiling water to eat, and the shelf life is also long, it is the most convenient dry food, and the hair is very large, a small handful can be washed out of a bowl. In addition, he also prepared a lot of jerky for him to bring.

"Don't get it anymore, you can't take it with you with so much food. Besides, I gathered with the large army, and everyone said that there would be someone in charge of it. Maybe they'll all be confiscated. Ah Hao said.

"You are also an official, what is it to bring something, this trip is all cold and snowy, if it is possible, I can't wait to escort a batch of grain and grass." Geng Qiu said. He was very worried, in that kind of cold place, let alone fighting, just to survive, he would have to consume a lot. And it is obvious that the grain and grass are not complete now, and even if there is, there is no way to send it over.

When Ah Hao left, the three of them got three good horses from the county yamen, although they were not war horses, they were definitely strong and fast. After all, they can be regarded as representing the people of Beixian County. This battle is not easy for anyone to evaluate, because no one knows when it will be finished and whether it will be won?

When the three of them rode away on horseback, Geng Qiuqiang endured his sadness and said goodbye to the people who saw him off. There are many people who came to see off Ah Hao, including his classmates and friends from the college, as well as tenants and villagers in Beixian County, as well as the county magistrate of Beixian County, and so on. After all, Ah Hao is now a serious official, as long as he wins this battlefield, his future is limitless. To put it mildly, even if he dies on the battlefield, it can be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country, and his official position will be hereditary to Ah Niu.

And Ah Niu doesn't necessarily need to go to the battlefield yet. Because he was an only son, he didn't even have a cousin in the same room. Those people in the village, although they have the same surname as them, are not real blood relatives, and they have already produced more than six suits. And now they have moved their household registration to Yujiazhuang in Beixian County, and they have become a family of their own.

Ah Hao made this move because he was going to the battlefield, just in case, if he was really unlucky and died on the battlefield, or if his true identity was soon discovered, his father's grievances could not be washed away, and Ah Niu and Ning Ge'er still needed someone to take care of them. It is really difficult to rely on Geng Qiu, an ordinary commoner with no name and no power.

Yujiazhuang in Beixian County, as long as there is Yu Mingyi for a day, no one dares to come to find trouble. Yu Mingyi's current reputation is well-known in the entire literati world, and he stays here honestly, concentrating on teaching and educating people, and he doesn't hinder anyone at all, how can anyone with such a person get along with him.

Ah Hao marched for three days in a row before he encountered the large army led by King Ping, and after verifying his identity, he finally returned to the team.

"You are Zeng Wenhao, the new imperial examiner of Jianghuai Mansion, and the one hundred households appointed?" King Ping stared at the person in front of him, his eyes darkened, and asked.

"Back to the prince, it's right down." Ah Hao replied without changing his face, but secretly complained in his heart. Although he thought about meeting acquaintances, he didn't expect to meet one of the biggest acquaintances as soon as he came. But seriously, he and the king have only met a few times. What's more, King Ping was five or six years older than him. When King Ping fought with his father, he was still a child, and compared with his current appearance, there were still many changes. Perhaps King Ping just felt familiar to him, and was not sure of his true identity.

"Don't put aside your studies and go to the battlefield, aren't you afraid?" King Ping asked again.

"Learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family." Ah Hao replied. He can't say what he wants. This answer is quite decent.

"Who else is in the house? You should have a family at your age, right? ”

"Back to the prince, the parents and elders of the lower officials have died, they have married a family, recruited Zhengjun, and have a son who is five years old."

"Alright, let's get back to the team." King Ping didn't say anything, and let him go.

After he left, King Ping was in a good mood, he didn't expect to meet Ah Hao in this situation, he always knew that Ah Hao would not die in the hands of the villain. Sure enough, he has been living a good life, but he has changed his name and surname, and now he even has a son. In the matter of the general back then, he always suspected that the prince was the ghost, but he couldn't get the handle, and his father listened to and believed it, so he couldn't bear it. What's more, he followed the general and made a lot of military exploits, and he had already been noted by someone who cared about him in front of his father, who began to not treat him from that time, otherwise, he would not have been shrinking in the house and pretending to be sick after returning to Beijing.

After pretending to be sick behind closed doors for several years, his father slowly relaxed his surveillance of himself, but although he was the eldest of his father's many sons, he never had the title of prince, and it was not until this expedition that he was named King Ping.

"Zhu San, arrange a team of people for him and let him take it first. Be picky. King Ping commanded. Zhu San is his confidant, and this kind of thing is arranged by him.

The team led by King Ping is not easy to bring, everyone is pretentious, and some people don't like each other at every turn, and they have to make a few troubles every day. If it weren't for King Ping's rough methods, he always spared no effort to suppress it, and he didn't know what would be going to happen. These people are in the imperial city every day, eating and drinking spicy food, who is willing to come to war, and they don't think that they will live a long life. But as soon as the emperor's order was issued, they had to abandon a qiē and follow King Ping to fight in resignation. No, it's still far from Xinzhou, and they start to make a fuss.

"Zhu Si, what tricks did those people play today?" Hearing the noise outside, King Ping stroked his forehead and asked coldly.

The master of Uncle Zhongyong's family and the master of Uncle Sincerity fought without speculation in a few words. Speaking of which, the young masters of these two families usually don't get used to each other. No matter what, you have to fight for it, grab it. The two families have equal status and the same high title, which should be the good of the family, but these two masters, you don't like me, I don't look down on you. This time, both of them sealed the same hundred households, with the same number of people and horses, and they had to compete with each other again. It's a pity that this hasn't been on the battlefield yet, so I don't know if they will be stronger than the other after they go to the battlefield.

"Go, call all the hundred households. Give them an eye-opener today. King Ping suddenly thought of an idea and sneered. Today, he really has to give this group of noble children a little blow, so as not to be high-eyed and low-handed, and when they go to the battlefield, they don't know how they died.

"Are Zeng Baihu also going to be called?"

"Of course, call two of his guards, too."

Soon there were a lot of people gathered outside. There are a total of six hundred households, plus their own personal guards, and the people brought by King Ping, there are also twenty or thirty people, not to mention the soldiers on the periphery.

When everyone arrived, King Ping called: "Zeng Baihu." ”

"The lower official is here." Ah Hao replied that he has now changed into official uniforms, including Zeng Dashan and Zeng Changping.

"Jianghuai Mansion's new imperial examination?" Someone immediately asked in a whisper.

"Is that the legendary guy who can be good at writing and martial arts?" Someone said sourly.

King Ping confused them for a while before he said coldly, "Exactly." You don't boast of your high skills, today I give you a chance, everyone can ask Zeng Baihu for advice. Literature and martial arts abound. ”

King Ping's words made Ah Hao hesitate for a moment, but he didn't speak, since King Ping spoke, it seems that he must fight today, not to mention that if he wants to stand in front of this group of noble children, he has to show some skills. However, he didn't expect that King Ping would have such a high opinion of him, and he actually thought that he would not lose in civil and military affairs. He is not so strange to these families, and some even have a little friendship with his family.

Deng Baihu of Zhongyong Bofu, who appeared first, Deng Baihu was only seventeen or eighteen years old, white and clean, not like a martial artist at all, but people have learned kung fu since childhood, and their families have been martial arts for generations.

Not to mention him, the same goes for several others. It's just one point, whether these are Bofu or Houfu, they are basically relatively declining, but they rely on the yin of their ancestors, and they still retain a title, and the titles of the Daqing Dynasty are all cut down by five generations, and these families are basically four generations, and no one holds a more important official position.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have sent their best children and grandchildren this time. I don't expect them to earn a military merit and make their family's title more secure. If your fate is good, you can come back with all your beards and tails, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is just around the corner, even if you die in battle, you will also have perineum and family.

Deng Baihu chose Wubi, but he only took five moves under Ah Hao and was defeated, and he was red-faced and defeated.

Then Zhang Baihu of the Sincere Uncle family came on the field, and it was still a martial arts competition, and he only took five moves before he was defeated. In fact, he and Deng Baihu both took five moves, but he knew that Ah Hao's kung fu was much stronger than them.

The three hundred households in the back are all the same, and they chose the martial arts competition, because they have all practiced kung fu since they were children, although they also studied and went to school, but none of them have ever taken the Xiucai exam.

It's just that Deng Zhang in front of him chose boxing, and the three people in the back, one chose marksmanship, one chose archery, and the other chose close-quarters fighting, and everyone chose their best skills. But five people in a row couldn't make five moves, and they were defeated by Ah Hao's men.

Such a result, not only they were surprised, but even King Ping was a little surprised. King Ping knew that Ah Hao had some skills, but this group of people made trouble every day, and he couldn't see the kung fu on his body. These people are also people with some real skills, but none of them can please Ah Hao, and it is obvious that Ah Hao's kung fu is even better than he imagined.

Single-handed, no one can beat Ah Hao, King Ping coldly looked around at the defeated hundred households, and said again: "Zeng Baihu, can you block five with one?" ”

"Let's try it." Ah Hao replied. Based on his understanding of the confrontation with everyone just now, he probably knew the skills of these people, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Good. What weapons are you going to use? King Ping asked.

Ah Hao pulled off the whip on his waist, this was his secret weapon, most people only knew that he could use a gun, because his father made a silver spear, but the whip was a weapon that he had hardly used in front of outsiders. Even though he had used the gun just now, he couldn't see his father's way, of course he didn't show it on purpose. He was also afraid that using his father's marksmanship would make others suspicious, after all, a person who studied martial arts didn't know that his father's marksmanship was outstanding.

Sure enough, King Ping was stunned for a moment when he saw that he actually made a whip, but it soon flashed. A few others were even more surprised. After all, everyone has tried his kung fu just now, marksmanship, boxing, archery, etc., but I didn't expect that he and the other five people were all doing their best, and they actually took out the whip at this time, obviously the whip is Ah Hao's best weapon.

And as soon as Ah Hao pulled out the whip, everyone felt a murderous aura, to say that everyone just rubbed it at the beginning, Ah Hao has always been very kind, but this time it is completely different. The five of them immediately felt the pressure, and everyone raised their spirits and gave it their all, but they were quickly defeated.

Ah Hao used a whip to pay one to five, but he didn't seem to be struggling at all.

"I'm satisfied now. Before I went to the battlefield, I knew that every day was in the nest, and this place was not as good as going to Beijing. From tomorrow onwards, the march will be hasty, and everyone will be in good spirits. King Ping gave an order, coldly glanced at everyone, and made up a few knives, saying that all of them were red-faced, and they wanted to drill a hole in the ground.

King Ping was happy in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face, and after saying that, he turned around and left. This time he didn't believe it, and he didn't hit this group of little bastards who didn't know the height of the sky. These people, who usually occupy a few of their own abilities, make trouble every day, and now there is a person who is stronger than them many times in civil and military affairs, so it is time to be honest.
