The two were silent for a while, Zhang Xiaowu smiled and took a sip of wine, handed over the wine jug and said, "Come, drink together." ”

Hu Sanwan was flattered and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

"What nonsense, if you want to drink, you will drink, twist and pinch like an old lady." Zhang Xiaowu scolded with a smile.

Hu Sanwan's heart warmed, he took the wine jug and poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and was immediately choked by the spicy burning knife, and coughed loudly.

Zhang Xiaowu took out another pot of wine from his arms: "Don't be in a hurry, that pot of wine is for you." ”

Hu Sanwan couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that I wasn't in a hurry, I wanted to be heroic, but unfortunately I slapped my face when I couldn't show off my skills, and I almost coughed to death.

The two chatted while drinking, but they became acquainted.

Since Hu Sanwan installed the wooden dentures made by Zhang Xiaowu himself, the whole person is not so ugly, but it is still very obscene. Zhang Xiaowu doesn't know much about him, but now that he has come into contact with him, he feels that this person is also very interesting and trustworthy.

This Hu Sanwan has been in the Sixth Regiment for many years, and he is the best at finding out all kinds of news, and he can be called Bai Xiaosheng of the forbidden army.

Unlike the 27th Regiment, which was only formed for two years, the 6th Regiment has been one of the 24 regiments of the forbidden army since its founding. The 1st to 6th regiments of the Shenghan Forbidden Army were subordinate to the Qinglong Legion and were stationed in the East Camp of Longdu; The 7th to 12th regiments belonged to the White Tiger Regiment and were stationed in the northern camp of Longdu; The 13th to 18th regiments were subordinate to the Suzaku Regiment and were stationed in the Longdu South Battalion; The 19th to 24th regiments were subordinate to the Xuanwu Regiment and were stationed in the western camp of Longdu.

In the 25th year of Taiqian, after the Ministry of War discussed and invited by the right prime minister Wang Chengzuo, Emperor Taiqian allowed the establishment of eight regiments of the forbidden army, which were 25 regiments to 32 regiments. After that, the eight regiments were the reserve regiments of the forbidden army, and only the officers and people above the commander were retained during non-war periods, and each regiment had less than 500 people.

In addition to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments, the Qinglong Army also had the 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th regiments, with a total of 10 regiments of 180,000 soldiers, 60,000 soldiers, and a total strength of 240,000.

Zhang Xiaowu said suddenly: "Could it be that the sixth regiment is a standing combat regiment of the forbidden army, so it is stationed in Mucheng and sticks to the rear?" He thought about it and felt that it was wrong, "Holding the rear can also make temporary war groups, such as the 28th Regiment and the 26th Regiment, not as good as the Standing War Regiment, right?" ”

Hu Sanwan said: "Maybe it can rescue the front line in time." ”

Zhang Xiaowu sneered: "Nonsense, it takes ten days to travel from Mucheng to Yashan, even if it is too late to rescue, and a war group can change the overall situation?" ”

Hu Sanwan smiled awkwardly, looked left and right with a thief's eyebrows, and then said, "Actually, it's because of General Cheng." ”

"What's wrong with General Cheng?"

Hu Sanwan chuckled: "The Northern Expedition of the Holy Han has no faith, and the generals have asked to fight and kill the enemy, but General Cheng implores to garrison Mucheng and assume the responsibility of escorting grain and grass for the whole army." On the surface, General Cheng bravely shouldered the heavy burden, but in fact, everyone knew that General Cheng had never led his troops to fight at all - it was not that he had never fought, he went on an expedition to Beiyi with his father when he was young, but he lost the battle and almost died. ”

Zhang Xiaowu squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not familiar with General Cheng. But his mind quickly recalled that when he was fighting the three kings of the grassland, Cheng Chu on the platform couldn't bear to look at the corpse of the Tartar tower under the stage, and always looked up at the sky, and laughed in his heart.

The Sixth Regiment was guarding the rear, and many soldiers and officers who were greedy for life and afraid of death tried their best to transfer to the Sixth Regiment, so that everyone knew that the Sixth Regiment, from generals to soldiers, was all a wreck. The Sixth Regiment can also be called a ruined war regiment in the Holy Han Forbidden Army.

Cheng Chu is not a majestic person, especially Li Cunyuan, the military candidate of the cavalry battalion, is a thorn. Once at a banquet, Li Cunyuan got drunk and had a quarrel with Cheng Chu, Li Cunyuan rushed up to beat General Cheng, but fortunately he was stopped. Although Li Cunyuan came to apologize afterwards, and Cheng Chu also forgave him, this incident caused the Sixth Regiment to fall apart.

"Li Cunyuan dares to beat Cheng Chu?" Zhang Xiaowu was surprised, it was hard to imagine that this situation happened in the 27th Regiment, who dared to contradict Shi Jing? Even though Ding Yi and Shi Jing had a lot of personal friends and often teased each other in private, Ding Yi did not dare to openly challenge Shi Jing's prestige. This Li Cunyuan is either Taishan can rely on no one in his eyes, or he is - there is a problem with his brain, is General Cheng unwilling to be like a second fool?

Seeing Zhang Xiaowu's puzzled face, Hu Sanwan laughed and said: "In fact, in terms of background, General Cheng's background is much more noble than Li Junhou's, and Li Cunyuan is just the eldest brother Li Cunyi, who has the world's number one general." But General Cheng is hereditary Shao Wubo, a descendant of the Cheng clan of the thirteen heroes of the founding of the country, and the Xuanyuan royal family stipulates that every three generations of emperors must accept the daughter of the Cheng family as a concubine, and the Cheng family is favored by the emperor and has served in the army for generations. In the generation of Cheng Chu, the four sons of the Cheng family went out of Longmen Pass with Shao Wubo and Cheng Mingzhen to defeat Beiyi, but unfortunately died, and only the youngest Cheng Chu escaped back among the four sons of the Cheng family. ”

Zhang Xiaowu boldly guessed: "Cheng Mingzhen should not be the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, right?" 120,000 Xuanwu troops wiped out on the banks of the Birch River? ”

Hu Sanwan slapped him, gave him a powerful expression, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, Cheng Mingzhen is the commander of the Xuanwu Army, General Cheng went to the battlefield for the first time and went out with his father for the first time, when he was only nineteen years old, as old as you." ”

"It's really a tiger father and a dog, Lao Tzu's heroic son is finished!" Zhang Xiaowu said disdainfully, this is not the first time he has heard people talk about the massacre of the Xuanwu Legion, the rebuilt Xuanwu Legion no longer has the previous No. 1 sharpness in the world, and has been shrinking in the West Camp of Longdu for many years, and the biggest achievement is to listen to the orders of the Ministry of War to suppress bandits everywhere in the Central Plains, and there are many defeats.

As a result, the first forbidden army legion in the world became a turtle legion that outsiders laughed at, and the Xuanwu Legion was not ashamed but proud, and its extreme performance led to no general willing to lead the army to the position of Xuanwu commander.

Hu Sanwan continued to tell that because of the birch river tragedy, the Cheng family fell into the middle of the road, and the only surviving Cheng Chu only served as a small minister in the military department. In the sixteenth year of Taiqian, the three concubines of Emperor Taiqian died of illness at the same time, and the harem was cold for a while. The Senate suggested that the selection of concubines fill the harem, and Cheng Chu's cousin Cheng Lanyan was a beautiful girl and was accepted as a Lancai by Emperor Taiqian. Emperor Taiqian was extremely fond of Lan Cairen, a beauty in January, a noble person in February, a concubine in March, a Lanyi in April, a Lanyu in May, Zhaoyi in June, a concubine in July, and a concubine in August, which can be seen in his favor.

With the assistance of Concubine Lan in the palace, Cheng Chu was also able to rise step by step, and finally served as a guard with a knife in front of the palace. Cheng Chu guarded Emperor Taiqian day and night, his loyalty moved the emperor, the day after tomorrow the Fire Sect assassinated the emperor, Cheng Chu blocked the fatal blow for Emperor Taiqian, and since then he has flown on the branch and become a phoenix, turning into the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

After the death of Lan Guifei, Emperor Taiqian missed a very serious illness, and when he saw Cheng Chu, he would think of Lan Guifei, and His Majesty appointed Cheng Chu as the commander of the sixth regiment in order to avoid sorrow day and night.

Zhang Xiaowu listened to Hu Sanwan tell the story of Cheng Chu while drinking wine, and felt extremely interesting, and quipped: "It seems that this Cheng Chu has never led troops to fight?" The only time I was in the Kanto region more than ten years ago, and I almost died there? ”

Hu Sanwan smiled and said: "It's not the only time, he still fought, for example, in South Busan, he exterminated Liu Sanba and his gang of remnants of the Heavenly Fire Sect." ”

Zhang Xiaowu applauded and sarcastically said: "So capable, so powerful." ”
