Xia Zhen rode on the horse, only to see that he was wearing armor but no helmet, and his head was wrapped in a layer of white cloth, tightly wrapped around his wounds. From time to time, he touched his head with his hand, and kept cursing in his mouth: "Damn Yangjiazhuang, damn thief army, this time Lao Tzu wants to see, how did you escape from my palm." After scolding, he asked the soldiers next to him, "Where are you now?" ”

The soldier arched his hand on the horse and replied, "General Yu, there are still 20 miles away from Yangjiazhuang now." ”

This time, Xia Zhen had already learned to be obedient, and immediately ordered: "Send spies, whether it is a forest or a ravine, you must investigate Lao Tzu clearly to see if there is anyone." ”

"Yes! Checkmate! The spies hurried in all directions to investigate.

Xia Zhen felt another pain in his head, and gently covered his head with his right hand. The pro-soldier next to him handed over a pot of water and patted the horse's ass and said, "The general should drink saliva." ”

Xia Zhen was upset by the pain in his head, and the soldiers leaned over at this time, which happened to be Xia Zhen's punching bag. I just saw that Xia Zhen knocked down the kettle handed over by his own soldiers, and reprimanded loudly: "Damn! Didn't you see that General Ben was annoyed? He not only scolded this pro-soldier, but also raised his horsewhip and slapped this pro-soldier who loved to pat on the back.

The pro-soldier only silently endured the punishment given to him by Xia Zhen, and slowly fell behind with a flushed face.

From Jizhou to Yangjiazhuang, you have to pass through a small river, the water of the small river is not deep, just at the height of the horse's belly. Rihito took someone to investigate the depth of the river, and his heart was happy. He led the guards back to where they had set up camp.

As soon as Li Ren rested in the tent of the Chinese army, he heard the guards outside the door shouting: "Lord, many fellow villagers from the neighborhood have come to visit Lord. ”

Liren immediately turned over and got up, ran to the tent door in his pajamas, looked at his relatives and asked, "Where is the fellow?" Hurry up and please. ”

The soldiers pointed to a few shabby-clothed peasants who were walking not far away and said, "My lord! That is the leader of the villagers who came to meet the lord. After hearing this, Liren ignored it and walked towards those fellow villagers.

As soon as the peasants entered the hidden barracks under the guidance of the soldiers, they saw a young man in underwear and no shoes hurrying towards them. The peasants looked at each other with a little puzzlement, and then the soldier next to them whispered to them, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our lord. ”

Hearing the soldier say this, the peasants came to their senses, respectfully walked up to Liren, knelt down and said loudly, "The villain will wait to meet the general." ”

Li Ren saw that these farmers knelt down respectfully, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help them up one by one: "Folks, please get up quickly, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." ”

The villagers had never seen such an approachable general, and they were all excited to kneel down again. Li Ren immediately said loudly with a smile: "Folks, you don't have to be like this. In my Suzaku Army, both soldiers, peasants, and officials are equal, and they don't kneel when they meet. Even kneeling is only kneeling to the world, and only kneeling in the middle is high. ”

After listening to Liren's introduction, the villagers looked at Liren with a big mouth open in disbelief. At this time, the soldier next to him explained with a smile: "This is the rule that our lord has strictly ordered everyone to follow since the day he established the Suzaku Army. The lord said, 'We are in China, and it is this kneeling that has brought us step by step to the point where we are willing to endure foreign oppression and become slaves completely. Therefore, since the establishment of the Suzaku Army today, the first military order is that we can only kneel to the sky, the earth, and the high hall. No one else is allowed to kneel for me. Even if you die, you will die standing for me. '~~~" The soldier vividly learned every word that Rihito had said, and only then did the peasants understand why they were not allowed to kneel.

Rihito happily listened to every word the soldier had learned, and raised his thumbs up and praised, "Very good! You said it very well, not only expressing my meaning, but also adding your own understanding. Whose subordinate are you? ”

When the soldier heard Rihito's question, he immediately stood up straight and saluted with Professor Rihito's hand. Then he replied loudly: "Tell the lord, I am the dog of the fourth squad of Zhang Hu's brigade." ”

After listening to the dog's answer, the peasants laughed from ear to ear. Liren also raised his hand to the dog as a standard salute and said solemnly: "Dog soldier! You're doing a great job! ”

"Everything is under the instructions of the lord!" The dog answered Liren's question meticulously, not taking the shameful laughter of the farmers next to him to heart at all. ”

Rihito nodded at him with great satisfaction, and ordered, "Start tomorrow!" You are a member of my personal guard. When you go to Captain Zhang Hu, just say that I said it! ”

"No! Humble duty and respect the lord's public commandment. Not only did the dog answer without hesitation, but he was also in a state of excitement now, he knew that the Guards were the most elite troops in the entire Suzaku Army. I once heard that as long as you enter the pro-guard team, you can truly dedicate your life to the lord you worship the most, and you will not only be appreciated by the lord, but also get a lot of honors.

Only now did Li Ren see the weight of the Huaxia Divine Cult in the hearts of ordinary soldiers in the early days of his creation, and immediately asked the dog: "Dog soldier, let me ask you, what is your full name?" ”

The dog scratched his head, looked at Liren and smirked before he said, "Tell the lord, my full name is Gouzi, because I am an orphan, so I don't even know my surname." ”

Rihito patted the dog on the shoulder and asked him, "Where! I'll give you a name, would you like it? ”

When the dog heard this, he couldn't be more happy. Hurriedly said respectfully to Liren: "Lord, just get up, the dog is willing." ”

Rihito smiled at him, looking at him as strong and brave. He replied, "Good! From now on, your surname will be Hua, and your name will be Xiong. What do you think? ”

The dog listened carefully to his name, and repeatedly chanted: "Huaxiong, ~Huaxiong~," and then looked at Liren and nodded excitedly: "Thank you, lord!" Thank you, Lord~~! After Hua Xiong got his name, he also forgot to say goodbye to Li Ren again. Excitedly, he ran directly to his usual best friend and made a loud noise. Rihito just smiled in the back and sincerely blessed the little soldier who had just gotten his name.

When the peasants saw this, they already knew that Rihito was a benevolent master. One of the older ones excitedly said to Rihito, "General! The grass people and others have something important to enlighten the general! ”

When he heard the peasants talking to him, he immediately turned to them and said, "Don't be anxious now, but we'll talk about it in detail when we get to the tent." After saying that, Liren did not lower his status to lead the way for the farmers.
