Chapter 22 Gathering the Army's Heart

He Xing hit the horse and came to Gao Shun, "How are the casualties?" ”

"It's okay. The casualties were not large, more than 10 died. Wounded a hundred. Gao Shun sighed.

"These fallen soldiers, just bury them on the spot. Find someone to write down their names and addresses. When the battle is over, go see their families. Give them some money. He Xing looked at the fallen soldier and said.

"General, righteousness, I thank you for these fallen soldiers." Gao Shun knelt on the ground and said loudly.

The sound was so loud that all the soldiers looked at it. Gao Shun stood up and said to the soldiers: "General He just said, let me write down the names and addresses of the brothers who died in battle, and when the battle is over, arrange for someone to send money to their families." It's the first time I've met such a good general! In the past, when we were soldiers died, which general would send it to our family if he took the money! But General He said that he would send someone to send them, and I knelt down to thank him for the fallen soldiers. ”

After listening to this, all the soldiers knelt down and thanked He Xing. They knew that if they died, the pension would go to their families, and they wouldn't be like the soldiers they used to be.

He Xing hurriedly asked the soldiers to get up and let the soldiers clean up the battlefield. He Xing felt that this was Gao Shun's deliberate campaign for himself. When He Xing looked at Gao Shun, Gao Shun nodded at himself. Sure enough, Gao Shun was building momentum for himself.

The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield. He Xing led the soldiers to continue to march towards Jizhou City. Along the way, I didn't encounter bandits and rogues again, and I arrived outside Jizhou safely, and Jizhou Mu led Jizhou officials to meet He Xing and them.

He Xing came, Jizhou Mu was beside him, and told Jizhou Mu that he was only the vanguard force, and the main force was still behind, and He Jin was led by General He. When Jizhou Mu heard that it was General He Jinhe, he felt that he was saved, and decided to go three miles outside the city to greet him.

He Xing asked Gao Shun to camp outside the city, and he followed Jizhou Mu to meet General He Jin and He.

So they all mounted their horses and went three miles outside the city. On the way back, he met the Zhen family caravan, He Xing chatted with them briefly and separated.

Everyone came to three miles outside the city, only to see dust in the distance, and after a while, He Jin led a large army of men and horses to He Xing and others.

"Greetings, General." He Xing dismounted, bent down and said.

"Thank you." He Jin looked at everyone and said with a smile.

"General, you've worked hard." Jizhou Mu said flatteringly.

"Let's go, let's go into town." After speaking, He Jin beat his horse and ran towards Jizhou City. He Xing and the others got on the horse and hurried to follow.

After a while, everyone came to Jizhou City together, the soldiers who defended the city saw that the people who came were their own people, so they put down the suspension bridge, He Jin took advantage of the kung fu of the suspension bridge, arranged for the soldiers to camp outside the city, and led some of his own soldiers to fight horses into Jizhou City, and the people of Jizhou City were very happy to see so many soldiers outside the city. The gloom clouds that shrouded the hearts of the people in Jizhou City have partially dispersed.

He Jin and the others came to the Jizhou Pastoral Mansion, and the Jizhou Pastor led everyone to the lobby, and He Jin sat on the right seat without hesitation.

"Xing'er, can you come all the way safe?" He Jin looked at He Xing and said.

"Back to my uncle's words, I fought two battles with bandits and rogues, and although they both won, there were still some casualties." He Xing looked at He Jin, remembered the dead soldier, and said in a low tone.

"There is no immortal in war. It would be nice to experience a little more. He Jin said comfortably to He Xing.

"Jizhou Mu, tell me, what bandits and rogues are surrounding Jizhou City?" He Jin turned his head and said to Jizhou Mu.

"Back to General He's words, the main reason is that there are more bandits and rogues in the east and west, and they are relatively powerful." Jizhou Mu replied cautiously.

"Wang Yi, General Wang, you lead the troops to fight the bandits and rogues in the east." He Jin said to an adjutant beside him.

"Okay, please rest assured, General." Wang Yi stood up and said.

"He Xing, you continue to lead the troops and fight the bandits and rogues in the west."

"Guaranteed to get the job done." He Xing, who had just sat down not long ago, stood up again and replied.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" He Jin looked at everyone and said.

"Master Jizhou, how about the combat effectiveness of the bandits and rogues on the east and west?" He Xing looked at Jizhou Mu and said.

"General He Xiao, the combat effectiveness in the east is average, we have fought with them a few times, and the victory and defeat are half of them. The west side made their fighting force stronger than the east side. Jizhou Mu wiped his sweat and said.

"Tomorrow, just do what you want today. Okay, let's disperse. After He Jin finished speaking, he got up and walked out the door.

This is Jizhou Mu hurriedly stopped He Jin, and said with a smile, "General He, the lower official has already prepared wine and food." It's never too late to leave after eating. ”

"Haha, Jizhou Mu, you have a heart." He Jin looked at Jizhou Mu and said.

After speaking, He Jin led everyone to follow Jizhou Mu to the restaurant at the back. Everyone looked at the banquet that had been set up, sat down without hesitation, drank and ate meat. He Xing looked at everyone, shook his head helplessly, and turned to leave.

walked out of the Jizhou Pastoral Mansion and walked on the street that had lost its former liveliness. And as he walked, he came to the gate. He Xing looked at the soldiers guarding the city. Walk briskly forward.

The soldier watched a general in armor walk towards him, and involuntarily straightened his back. He shouted magnificently, "Hello general, may I ask for any instructions?" ”

"Hello, I don't have any instructions, I just want to ask you, how are the bandits and rogues in the west fighting?" He Xing looked at the soldier and said.

"The bandits and rogues in the west have a very high force, and they rush to the front every time they fight, and their momentum is very fierce. Others are so-so. Seeing that the general had no official position and was still so polite to himself, the soldier thought for a moment and told him everything he knew.

"Okay, thank you." He Xing put his heart in his stomach, it turned out that there were only two fierce generals. That's easy to do.

"You're welcome." The soldier replied.

He Xing was relieved and walked back to the Jizhou Pastoral Mansion with some ease. As soon as I entered the Jizhou Pastoral Mansion, I saw He Xian.

"Brother Xing, why don't you eat something?" It turned out that He Xian saw that he was not there, and found a chicken while holding it.

"Brother Xian, I don't have an appetite. Go eat it. He Xing said to He Xian.

"Let's eat together." As he spoke, he handed the chicken in his hand to He Xing.

"Okay." He Xing looked at He Xian and couldn't bear to refuse.

The two of them came to a tea pavilion, sitting on a stone bench, one person half chicken, He Xing looked at He Xian, who was eating chicken, and said with a smile, "You eat slowly." Not enough to eat me. As he spoke, he handed the chicken to He Xian.

He Xian shook his head and refused, He Xian swallowed the chicken in his mouth, and said to He Xing with concern, "Brother Xing, how is it along the way?" Are you hurt? ”

"Brother Xian, I'm not hurt." He Xing said with a smile.

"Well, that's right, Brother Xing, your martial arts are so high, no one will hurt you." He Xian said while eating chicken.

"I hope so!" He Xing whispered. He Xing couldn't help but think of the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun...... In the near future, we will meet, and when the time comes, let me see the gap between me and you.

"Brother Xing, what are you thinking?" He Xian asked.

"Oh, nothing." He Xing replied.

"Brother Xing, you hurry up and eat. Let's go back together after eating. He Xian looked at He Xing and said.

"Hmm." He Xing took a big bite of it.

After a while, He Xing finished eating and returned to the restaurant with He Xian. He Xing, who had not been sitting down for a long time, looked at the people who were still eating and drinking, so he got up and walked out again. This time, He Xing did not wander around, but went to the back kitchen. Looking at the busy back kitchen, He Xing couldn't bear to disturb him, and when he turned around and was about to leave, he was seen by a servant who had just gone to deliver wine and food.

"General, do you have any instructions?" The servant looked at He Xing and said.

"Oh, no instructions, just wanted to ask if there's any extra chicken?" He Xing asked embarrassedly.

"Back to the general, yes." The servant looked at the kitchen and said.

"Can you fit one for me?" He Xing touched his head and said.

"Yes. I'm going to pretend for you. The servant said as he walked into the kitchen.

Soon a chicken was loaded for He Xing. He Xing said thank you. Turned around and went back to the restaurant.

At this time, He Jin, who was full of wine and food, saw He Xing coming back, so he got up and said, "Have you eaten well?" ”

"Eat it." The crowd replied.

He Jin got up and led everyone to thank Jizhou Mu for his hospitality. Jizhou Mu wanted to leave everyone in the city for the night, but He Jin politely refused.

He Xing came to Jizhou Mu and whispered to Jizhou Mu: "Master Jizhou Mu, the chicken you make in this house is so delicious, just now I wanted to ask for one in your back kitchen." You don't mind. ”

"Ouch, General He, what are you polite to me. You can always think about it. Or I'll ask the back kitchen to get you a few more. Jizhou Mu asked in a low voice.

"Master Jizhou, you have a heart, I really don't need it, this one is enough. I'll eat it when I come back tomorrow after my victory." After He Xing finished speaking, he hurriedly went to chase He Jin and the others.

He Jin and the others quickly left the city and came to their respective barracks. He Xing found Gao Shun and handed the chicken in his hand to Gao Shun.

"Eat. When you are full, you will have a good war tomorrow. He Xing looked at Gao Shun who was drooling and said.

"Thank you, General. I haven't eaten chicken in over a year. After Gao Shun finished speaking, he ate the chicken with a wolf. He Xing looked at Gao Shun eating chicken, and he was also a little hungry.

Soon a chicken was eaten by Gao Shun. Gao Shun looked at He Xingnuo and asked. "General, have you eaten?"

"What do you say?" He Xing looked at Gao Shun and said.

"This ......" Gao Shun looked at the chicken bones that were eaten by himself.

"Alright, teasing you." He Xing looked at Gao Shun's appearance and said with a smile.

"Oh, it scared the hell out of me." Gao Shun said with relief.
