Guan Xiang waited for him to finish shaving, and a handsome and resolute young general appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and only nodded and smiled for a long time: "I never thought you were so young, to be honest, don't talk about Master Su, no one can believe that such a young cold general Zuo Neng will be a captain." "Zhang Xiaowu said in his heart, why are you the secretary in charge of shocked.

Guan Xiang said again: "But for you, there is one worst news. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Is there anything worse? By the way, what worse news? ”

Guan Xiao said: "News about your military captain." Although your identity as a lieutenant of the 27th Regiment Yizi Battalion has been confirmed, your lieutenant was promoted by Shi Jing and not presented to the military department, which means that your official position as a lieutenant can only be recognized by Shi Jing, and Shi Jing is gone, and no one recognizes it anymore. It's just that it's far away, and before the military department could receive your merits, Shi Jing had already committed suicide. So now you are still just a soldier, not a captain. ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said disdainfully: "Zhang Mou was originally a soldier, and by chance, in Tucheng, the Wu team died and became the captain, and the Shi team died and became the chief. Speaking of which, it's all just a dream, I once said to my big brother Shao Zifu, as soon as the eyes are closed and opened, a day has passed, and the eyes are not closed, and a lifetime has passed. Probably so. ”

Guan Xiang laughed and said, "Reasonable." It was the first time he had heard such a statement, and as soon as he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, he became more interested in this "captain". There are no generals in the entire Sixth Regiment who can fight, except for Li Cunyuan, who is known as the first brave general of the Sixth Regiment - the younger brother of General An Yuan, the deputy marshal of the Qinglong Army - that is still a training general, and has never really been on the battlefield.

After Guan Xiang left, Zhang Xiaowu was deflated, lying on the wooden bed looking at the beams on the roof, his heart was full of boredom with the world, probably this is how depression came from, full of delays in everything, and full of boredom with life. He thought of Shao Zifu, the chief of the army who always cared about him, Li Xiang Li Xiaolang who was always deceived by himself, the "biological" eldest brother Liu Ji, Chen Tai who told him how to get married, and the grandson of the Tao family, although the youngest grandson Tao Wang was not good at fighting, he was good at catching rabbits and gerbils, as well as the honest man Feng Bin with a wrinkled face, Ding Yi, the beautiful bearded man Ding Yi who stroked his beard every day, and even he thought of Luo Zhen who would rather die than bow his head to the Wuhuan people and kneel.

He thought of the big wedding day, all the brothers came to cheer him on, remembered the laughing matchmaker and the neighbors praised his handsomeness, and remembered that Jiu'er was so hungry that her stomach rumbled on the wedding day. By the way, Jiu'er hid four breads, and these four cakes were eaten for seven days until she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river that day.

He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, not for himself, but for what they were not worthy, not worth it for the 27th regiment, and not worth it for Shi Jing.

Zhang Xiaowu almost didn't sleep all night, until the sky was slightly bright, he slept for a while, and then felt someone standing at the door and jumped out. When Guan Xiang opened the door, he saw such a big man standing at the door, almost face to face with him, and was so frightened that he sat on the ground and almost rolled downstairs.

"What are you doing standing at the door early in the morning?" Guan Xiang got up and patted the dust on his body, the clean robe was printed with gray marks, and the wind in the northern part of the country was very dusty, so he finally changed into clean clothes, and his butt was full of dust at this time. Zhang Xiaowu glanced at him, then sat back on the wooden bed, Guan Xiang pushed the door into the room, followed by two soldiers, stepped forward to open Zhang Xiaowu's shackles. Zhang Xiaowu moved his wrists and asked, "I should be a common person now, right?" ”

Guan Xiao smiled and said: "Think beautifully, the Yashan camp and the Jincheng camp in front are preparing for a decisive battle with the Inuyi coalition army, and the people are being conquered in the Central Plains, and almost all the prisoners in the prison have been escorted to Saibei, you actually want to live in peace and happiness for the people?" Don't dream, you are still a soldier, but according to the order of the military division, all the soldiers of the 27th Regiment were organized into each regiment and battalion on the spot, and you happened to be in the prisoner camp, so you are the person in the prisoner camp. ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked: "In the future, I have to call you an adult?" ”

Guan Xiang grinned and said, "Yes, respect me more in the future, this is a military regulation." Especially don't scare me, I'm weak and weak, my kidneys hurt and my bones are brittle, if you dare to hit me, you will murder Shangguan. ”

Zhang Xiaowu had a black line on his head, and said in his heart who is this.

Guan Xiao said: "You are also a broom star, General Cheng designed to capture Baden'er, the eagle of the Eastern Tartar Tower, in order to force Baden'er's horse bandits to be used by our Han army." But you killed Baden, and ruined the good deeds of the general. It's okay if you say you're not from our camp, you don't need to cause any trouble, and even if you do, it's not the trouble of our camp. But now you are from the prisoner camp again, you said that you didn't do a good thing in the prisoner camp, but brought big trouble to Master Su. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "So, I'm involved in the camp? You can send me away. ”

Guan Xiang said: "Who wants you to be a broom star?" Do you think Master Su didn't send it? The point is, if you can't send it away, even the baggage battalion doesn't want you, who let you offend General Cheng. Let me ask you, when you were in the 27th Regiment, if someone offended Shi Jing, who would dare to ask him to be a subordinate? ”

Zhang Xiaowu sneered: "Either I don't offend, once I offend, I will offend the most?" ”

"Yes." Guan Xiang said.

Zhang Xiaowu went to the wooden bed and said, "Then let him find me, Zhang's head is here, you can take it." "Crossing into this world, he has actually experienced so much, he even thinks if he dies again, will he travel back.

Then die again.

Guan Xiang saw that Zhang Xiaowu looked like he was not afraid of life and death, and said in his heart that you can't die, if you die, no one will realize our plan, so he stepped forward and said, "General Cheng doesn't dare to kill you." ”

Zhang Xiaowu sat up and said, "The general doesn't dare to kill me?" Master Guan teased me again. ”

Guan Xiang said: "I'm not lying to you, although you are not allowed to be promoted to captain because of Shi Jing, but you were killed in Tucheng, the prince said that he should be kind to the warriors of the 27th Regiment." And we have inquired about your story, and you did shoot three arrows to repel the siege of Inuyi, and the soldiers and civilians of Tucheng rushed to convey your story. Although our Sixth Regiment is in the rear, it will not do anything to unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”

"I'm not a donkey."

"Yes, the cunning rabbit is a dead lackey cook......"

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said, "What do you want to say, you are not from Beijing, why do you talk so verbosely." You can say anything. ”

Guan Xiao smiled and said, "So in order to give you a chance, Lord Su thought of a way to fight with Baden'er's men. If you win, it proves that Baden's men are nothing more than that, and the horse bandits and bandits recruited by General Cheng are all waste. When General Cheng sees their incompetence, he will not blame you. And if you are killed by them...... There is no dispute, and Baden's men have taken revenge, so they will naturally do things for the general. Is this the best of both worlds, you say? ”

Zhang Xiaowu pouted and said, "It's a bird's egg!" Why should I accept this gladiatorial fight? If you want to kill or take your own convenience, you want me to accept gladiatorial fighting—give me a reason. ”

Seeing this, Guan Xiang knew that he did not refuse, so he persuaded: "Because they don't believe that you can kill Badener, the Tatars say that no Han can kill Badener." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled contemptuously, Guan Xiang's agitation method was too straightforward, it was simply insulting to himself, he naturally would not be fooled, so he lay down and turned over to pretend to sleep.

Guan Xiao was anxious and said, "If you accept the gladiatorial fight, Master Su is willing to keep you as the captain." Seeing that Zhang Xiaowu still didn't react, Guan Xiao said again: "What's the length!" Master Su said, if you are so good at fighting, you can naturally do what you can. Moreover, Master Su also said that after you have done what you have done, you can also go to find other people from the 27th Regiment to come to the prisoner camp and continue to be your robe. ”

"Captain." Zhang Xiaowu turned around and said.

Guan Xiao said: "It's impossible, you didn't make an inch of success in the Sixth Regiment, and you ruined the good things of the Sixth Regiment, it's not bad to be a captain, you actually want to be a captain, how much power do you have as Lord Su?" He's just a lieutenant. ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked suspiciously: "Isn't the commander of the prisoner camp a military candidate?" Why is Master Su just a school captain? ”

Guan Xiang explained: "It's a shame that you have also been a military captain, and you don't even know the military system of our Han army. But the battalion is divided into two types, one is the war camp and the other is the auxiliary battalion. The Yizi Battalion of the 27th Regiment is the war camp, and the commander is the military candidate. Our prisoner camp was for the prisoners of war, and it was an auxiliary camp, which was temporarily set up five months ago, and if the war ended, the camp would be abolished. And because it was established temporarily, the commander of the auxiliary battalion was the captain. ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, only then did he understand the status of the prisoner camp, and Hezhi was a temporary force, so that the rank of the commander was only a captain. Presumably, this lieutenant has the opportunity to report to the general alone, so it can be regarded as a red difference. He then said: "Okay, I'll accept the challenge, when will I fight him." ”

"It's them, not him."

"How many?"

"Three."

"Together?"

"One by one, and you can use weapons, but you can't ride horses."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "It doesn't matter, although I have ridden a horse, I can't fight on horseback." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaowu accepted the challenge, Guan Xiang reported to Su Yu, and told their conversation as it was, especially praising himself, saying that if it weren't for his clever tongue, Zhang Xiaowu would not accept this challenge anyway.

Su Yu slapped his face and said with satisfaction: "This is the best, so that I can make money, no one would have thought that this gladiatorial battle is my gamble as a dealer." Hahahaha...... I'm so smart. ”

Guan Xiang wiped a handful of sweat, and said in his heart that the entire wooden city, that is, you can drill into the eyes of money. He suddenly thought of something and reminded: "My lord, after all, this Zhang Xiaowu is the person promoted by Shi Jing, and Shi Jing is Zhang Dang, really investigate it, Zhang Xiaowu is also Zhang Dang, right?" ”

"What kind of Zhang Dang is he, he doesn't even know what Zhang Dang is." Su Yu pouted.
