Chapter Seventy-Two: The Hometown of the Horseman

"I'm a little tired, please chop some firewood, and make a fire here to rest!" , The old cow was lowering his head, gnawing on the grass, the car stopped aside, and Xunzi sat on the car and said to Lin Wujun very sternly. Speaking of which, Lin Wujun was extremely angry in his heart, I don't know why, since he left Zhao State, Xunzi has become more and more harsh on himself, and his attitude is very bad, and he is accusing him and embarrassing him everywhere.

Lin Wujun is like Xunzi's servant, no, Xunzi will not treat servants so harshly, not even as good as his servants, all the tiring work is done by him, but if he complains, he will be educated by Xunzi, if it is about war, he may be able to talk to Xunzi, but when it comes to the big truth, it is not Xunzi's opponent that ten Linwujun are tied together.

"I thought you were my friend, so I was willing to escort you to the Qi country, but why did you treat me like this?" Finally, Lin Wujun was furious, and he asked angrily.

Xunzi didn't even open his eyes, he replied: "The soldiers of the Chu State who followed you at the beginning also regarded you as the lord and were willing to follow you to fight on the battlefield, but didn't you act like this?" Insults, arrogance, disregard for their dignity and lives, and finally the death of all those who follow you. Isn't that worse than what I did? I'm not going to ask for your life. ”

Lin Wujun's forehead was bruised, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to Chu State to confess my sins and use my life to correct my mistakes, isn't that enough?" Why do you insult me like this? ”

Xunzi opened his eyes suddenly, and reprimanded angrily: "Could it be that your life alone can be compared to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers killed by you?!" ”

Lin Wujun's originally clenched fists gradually loosened, he let out a long sigh, and didn't say anything more.

.......

Zhao Kuo was so tired, everything he had experienced in these days seemed to have taken away his energy for decades and returned to Bairen, he still had a lot of things to do, but sitting on the seat, somehow, he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed, the sunlight came in through the window, and there were a few more spots of light on his body, Zhao Kuo looked at the sunshine, and there were bursts of sharp pain from the wounds on his body, which made him grit his teeth and grin.

Zhao Kuo looked at the injuries on his body, two arrow wounds, and a stab wound, all of which Zhao Fu helped him deal with, the rough man's craftsmanship was very bad, and the cloth that was originally tied up became black mixed with blood and soil, and now, it seems that someone helped him deal with it again, Zhao Kuo sat up slowly, squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying the sunshine, just sat for a while, he suddenly remembered something, jumped up from the bed suddenly, and walked towards the door.

As soon as he reached the door, someone pushed open the door and walked in. The person who came was Ge, Ge was wearing a military uniform, wearing a short sword, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked at Zhao Kuo solemnly, and asked, "Shaojun, what happened?" ”

Zhao Kuo asked a little nervously, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

"Shaojun didn't sleep too long, it's the time of the hour."

"When eating...", Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, found his uniform, and was about to change, Ge stopped him and said, "Dong Chengzi sent a set of armor last night, you should wear a new one." Soon, he brought the armor sent by Dong Chengzi, Zhao Kuo put on a new outfit, Dong Chengzi is still righteous, Zhao Kuo originally wore cloth armor, which was made of rhinoceros skin, with a nail body, a sleeve, a skirt, and the upper row was pressed vertically down, and the armor was woven with armor pieces.

Now what Dong Chengzi gave away is a willow leaf-shaped armor made of iron pieces, which is made of wearing and grouping, and even has a helmet, which can be called iron armor, which is directly improved by a grade in terms of defense. Zhao Kuo didn't have the heart to ponder this armor, and the iron armor was a little heavy. After Zhao Kuo was dressed, Ge brought some food, Zhao Kuo ate the food, and asked about the grain and grass.

Ge puffed up his chest and said with some pride: "I led the army to come here, there was not much grain and grass left, but I didn't expect that Bairen gathered a large number of people, and there were some nobles, they heard that it was Ma Fuzi's army, and they offered grain and grass, and even wild vegetables dug from the side of the road, they all sent it to us... It can be seen that the horse is your..."

"Bang!" , Zhao Kuo slapped his palm on the case, Ge was startled, Zhao Kuo raised his head angrily, and said, "Didn't I have an order to ask for the people's supplies?" ”

"Shaojun, I didn't ask for it, they sent it themselves, I'm here...", Ge was a little speechless, he couldn't explain clearly, his face turned red in a hurry, Zhao Kuo said: "Pass on my military order, don't ask for the people's things anymore... We are here to protect them, not to kill them, along the way, how many people are starving to death and freezing to death, they escaped from the hands of the Yan people, do they want to die in the hands of the Zhao people? ”

Ge lowered his head, and could only hurriedly go to give orders, and Zhao Kuo quickly finished eating, walked out of the house, and just walked out of the door, he saw the soldiers running in the distance, they were holding weapons, and they were running around the county, and there were still a few children around who followed them with a smile, Zhao Kuo nodded, and did not forget to practice, which is good. When they saw him come out, the children exclaimed again and ran towards him.

Zhao Kuo laughed, picked up the little guy who rushed the fastest, the little guy was very brave when he rushed towards him, but when he was picked up by Zhao Kuo, he was very restrained, lowered his head, and didn't dare to speak, the rest of the little guys, gathered around Zhao Kuo, some curiously fiddled with his armor skirt, and some hugged his legs, Zhao Kuo laughed, at this time, a meat ball hurriedly rolled in the distance... It's Dong Chengzi.

"Go play somewhere else!" , Dong Chengzi waved his hand, and drove a few children away, he stood in front of Zhao Kuo breathlessly, wiped the sweat on his forehead, changed for a while, and then looked at the armor on Zhao Kuo's body, and said with a smile: "It really fits!" Zhao Kuo hurriedly thanked him for the gift, Dong Chengzi waved his hand generously, and said: "I also want to be born and die on the battlefield like you, but I have never had a chance." ”

"I've heard that a good spindle can only weave the best cloth in the hands of someone who is good at weaving, and this set of armor can resist the sword in the body of a warrior like you." , Dong Chengzi said, then took Zhao Kuo in the direction of the barracks, walking on the road, Dong Chengzi did not forget to tell Zhao Kuo about his merits, he said: "I originally wanted to fight to the death with the Yan people, but when I heard your order, I had no choice but to obey it, so I retreated here." ”

"As soon as the army arrived, I immediately arranged for them to be in the west of the city, because the west gate of the city was relatively wide, making it easier for the army to enter and exit. I have also prepared food and grass materials...", Zhao Kuo nodded from time to time, and did not forget to thank him.

The entire dwellings in the eastern part of the city have been converted into school fields, and from a distance, you can see the soldiers practicing, some are running long-distance races, some are shooting arrows, and some are fighting each other with long sticks, and you can see them coming. Ge, Zhao Fu and others also came to Zhao Kuo's face, and Zhao Kuo asked with a smile, "Who arranged this drill?" Zhao Fu looked at Ge, Ge raised his head proudly, and Zhao Kuo said: "I have long known that Ge is a person who can be trusted!" ”

After talking for a while, Zhao Kuo instructed Zhao Fu and the others: "Please first be in charge of your own soldiers according to the original establishment, and the vacant tun commander will be made up from the uncle, and the uncle will be made up from the captain, and so on." Then some elite people will be removed from the soldiers, and they will be the captains of the army. Speaking of these, Zhao Kuo's face was obviously a little lonely, he originally led a group of officers to attack Yanren's grain and grass, and the officers suffered heavy casualties, which completely disrupted his original arrangement.

But those young nobles who were originally frivolous and restless have changed at this moment, and they can take on important responsibilities.

Everyone got busy, Zhao Kuo just watched from the sidelines, Dong Chengzi looked at them, smiled, and asked, "Ma Fuzi, when will the rest of the army arrive?" ”

"The army? All my armies are already in front of you. ”

"Huh?? Just a few thousand people?? Dong Chengzi's face turned pale, he looked a little panicked, his teeth seemed to be chattering, and he asked, "Then what should we do?" Zhao Kuo smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here." Please find someone for me who is familiar with my surroundings, I have something to ask. Dong Chengzi called a doorman, gave a few instructions, and the doorman ran out.

Soon, the doorman led a majestic half-hundred-hundred-year-old man, came to Zhao Kuo's face, the old man frowned, tall, legs slightly circled, this is a long-term horseback riding, even wearing a short sword, when he was young, he must have been a warrior, he stood in front of Zhao Kuo, bowed his hand, raised his head, and asked loudly: "Please Ma Fuzi command, when are we going to kill the Yan thief?" ”

This old man's appearance is somewhat familiar...

Zhao Kuo was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Are you riding... Li Mu's father? ”
