The revolving gate is towering, he has stood here for hundreds of thousands of years, I don't know how many earth-shattering war scenes he has witnessed, and I don't know how many heroic deeds he has witnessed. The weather-beaten black jade tablet is engraved with the names of countless heroes and martyrs, and contains countless loyal souls.

A horse came galloping, and a cloud of yellow smoke was raised on the dirt road.

When they came to the pass, the man on the horse raised the arrow in his hand and shouted loudly: "Fight for the northern military plane, don't stop it!" ”

"Password!"

"Eagle."

"Put the drawbridge and open the city gates!" The defenders shouted angrily.

The four guards worked together, and a huge rope reel in the watchtower at the head of the city squeaked and rotated, and the drawbridge fell quickly.

By the time the drawbridge fell, the gates had already been pushed open by eight soldiers.

The one who gives the order does not stop, but whistles by.

Less than two arrows into the city, he stopped at the door of a tavern in the pass.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, three people immediately came out of the tavern, although these three people were all dressed in brocade, but the little soldiers did not pay attention to them, and even had a sense of urging in their eyes.

"Your family has worked hard." The man in brocade clothes stuffed a gold coin into the pocket of the person in front of him, and said with a polite smile: "Simon's family." ”

"Hard work, I belong to the Tang family." Another man in brocade, no more, no less, also took out a gold coin.

"I belong to the Meng family." The last man in brocade also took out a gold coin very tacitly.

The Liang Dynasty modified the weights and measures of the previous dynasty and changed the hexadecimal system to the decimal system. Ten coins are equal to one tael, and ten taels are equal to one catty.

A Shengde Tongbao, made of copper, is also called a penny, and two pennies can buy a leek egg pie;

One silver coin, one penny weighs, is equal to one hundred pennies;

One gold coin, one penny weighs, is equal to ten silver coins, or one thousand wen.

In an instant, the herald soldier received three thousand wen, but he didn't look happy on his face.

The soldier wears a military uniform, is a medium-grade iron armor, and can withstand a bow strength of one hundred and fifty steps. He was a scout in the Northern Army, and the scouts were often not too poorly equipped.

The scout was expressionless, took out three battle reports, threw them on the ground, turned his horse and left, went to the post house in the city, changed his war horse, and continued to Luoyang.

The little soldier was so rude that the three of them didn't dare to complain, and hurriedly went to the ground to sort.

One of them got a report of the battle, trotted on his horse, and galloped out of the city.

The battle reports on the front line were transmitted three times a day, some of which were specially presented to the imperial palace, and some of which were sent to the hands of the main gates.

Of course, the scouts will not beat around the bush to send the battle report from house to house, and the three major gate valves have already had families waiting at the revolving gate pass and Mengjin, the revolving gate pass is the only way to pass through the land war report, and Mengjin is the only port for the waterway scouts.

After receiving the battle report, the Ximen family rushed back to the capital with a whip and handed a thick letter to Simon Zhensen, the imperial doctor of the Duke of Chu.

Chu Guogong frowned when he opened the letter, and when he got older, he raised his eyebrows angrily, slapped the letter on the table, suppressed his anger, and said to the man next to him: "You chose a good person!" ”

The person next to him is not an outsider, but his second son Ximen Lang.

The eldest son of the Simon family was a disabled man, and although he was talented, he had extremely low self-esteem and never left the house.

And the second son, Ximen Lang, is actually also from Gongshi.

Although the tributes are not as good as the Jinshi, don't underestimate the tributes. That's also the leader of thousands of people walking on the single-plank bridge, and the cultural arena.

What's even more valuable is that every time he takes the exam, he takes it under a pseudonym, just to prevent someone from deliberately taking care of his Simon family identity. He didn't expect the scientific examination to bring him fame, all he wanted was a sense of identity.

Let the family know that although I Ximen Lang is a concubine, I am not worse than a grandson.

"Excuse me, father, I don't know what happened at the front...?" Simon Lang, who wants to inherit the business of the gate valve, is cautious and has a trace of fear on his face.

"Han Dang, the general of the Henan Provincial Recruit Training Camp, is it the person you chose?" Ximen Zhensen's white eyebrows were angry, although he was old, his eyes were sharp, staring at Ximen Lang.

Since he was broken by his father, how dare he hide it anymore, Ximen Lang immediately said: "Yes." ”

Simon Mamori's eyes were gloomy, like a fierce falcon.

Ximen Lang stood with his head bowed, not daring to look at his father.

The air froze, and the atmosphere in the room was oppressive, as if a rainstorm was coming.

——

After capturing Yue Pu of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Zhonglang General Tang Qi was overjoyed, quickly convened a meeting, and drafted a letter on the battle situation, preparing to send it to Ma Bufang, the governor of recruit training, and the headquarters of the commander of the Northern Army.

In order to arrest Xiao Zuo, although a centurion-level instructor was killed in the battle, everyone looked overjoyed, especially Tang Hu, who smiled happily and said to Tang Yuan with a leaking appearance: "Captain Dianhan praised you a lot, and this time it is estimated that he will give you a few kind words in front of Tang Qi." ”

Tang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Before the matter is implemented, don't talk nonsense." Besides, the success of this arrest is the result of General Tang Qi's strategy, what does it have to do with me? ”

Tang Hu said mysteriously: "The captain said that you shoot arrows accurately." Blinking his eyes, he said, "Do you know, what rank is the captain?" That's a second-class lieutenant, and if you are promoted two levels, you will be a lieutenant general. ”

"It doesn't matter what position he is." Tang Yuan's index finger was bent, and he used the second joint to slam Tang Hu's waist and eyes, making him talk less nonsense.

Tang Hu bared his teeth in pain and stopped talking.

Everyone was happy, but the overseer Ma Butong and the two school officers standing behind him showed displeasure. It looks like a belly of fire with nowhere to vent.

Tang Qi coughed lightly, and the big tent immediately fell silent.

At this time, Ma Butong suddenly stood up and said, "General Tang, first of all, congratulations on your successful arrest." However, in the process, you may have made some mistakes, right? ”

With the military supervising the army, he has the right to question the chief officer. His rank is high, and the level of the guard is also very high, and the guard, which is only 200 people, has to be led by two school officers. and known as the Prison Legion. For a lieutenant, leading a regiment-level unit is already a super high allocation. In ordinary troops, the commander can lead a regiment of troops, a thousand people. And the next level of the lieutenant is the first lieutenant.

However, when he directly questioned the top commander of the army in front of everyone, this situation often only occurs in urgent and major incidents, and today this matter has been completed, and the result is good.

Ma Butong bullied Tang Qi at a young age, thinking that Tang Qi would be shocked by his bearing, but he never thought that Tang Qi's face would not change and said: "This general knows what Lord Jian Jun wants to say." But this is not the time to discuss merit and demerits. Take this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot and teach a lesson to a few budding recruits. ”

"Oh?" Ma Butong pretended to be puzzled and said: "The most important thing in the army is the word merit and demerit, doesn't General Tang know?" ”

"Since Ma Jianjun must discuss the merits and demerits first, then you talk about it first." Tang Qi is colorful.

"Okay." Ma Butong sneered, and the elders reprimanded the juniors and said, "General Zhonglang has this action, why didn't you notify me in advance?" ”

Tang Qi didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "Then the Lord of the Prison Army mobilized troops to round up Yue Pu without authorization, and as a result, he destroyed the general's original plan, what should I do?" ”

Ma Butong frowned and said, "As a supervising army, this official has the right to mobilize troops without the approval of the chief officer. ”

Tang Qi said: "The two hundred people you brought, of course, will be transferred by you." Even if you think that I, Tang Qi, are suspected of rebellion, you can directly open your prison corps to the Zhonglang General's big tent. But the problem is that your plan is very abrupt, and you have not been able to capture the fine work, if I hadn't designed it earlier, I am afraid that you will be guilty today. ”

In the second half of Tang Qi's sentence, he had already put aside his responsibility. What she means is that my plan has been laid out a long time ago, but you have the recklessness to suddenly intervene, causing Xiaozuo to escape, and then I will take emergency action, you are not far away, and you are neither deaf nor blind, is it necessary for me to delay my work with you at such a critical juncture?

Ma Butong heard the meaning of Tang Qi's words, but he was not convinced, but choked and said, "It's just that you caught it in advance." How do you know I didn't set up an ambush on the road? ”

"Oh?" Tang Qi smiled and said, "The Ma Jian Army also has an ambush? However, the soldiers I sent to the beacon did not find your people appearing. Could it be that Ma Jianjun has other tricks to convey signals? If so, please also ask the overseer to give advice. ”

"I don't want to engage in a pointless verbal battle with you." Ma Butong lost patience and said angrily: "I only ask you, why is this matter hidden from me!" ”

Tang Qi was shocked and said angrily: "Ma Butong, you are so old, how can you not know the speed of soldiers?" The arrest is just a small work, and here it is a big fuss with me. I didn't ask you about your sins, but I made things difficult for me. Are you deceiving me for being young? Do you know how old the champion of the Han Dynasty became famous? ”

"Nonsense, what sin am I!" Ma Butong's thin donkey pulled his hard □ and roared.

Tang Qi stood up and said angrily: "You are greedy for merit, and you led ten people to capture Yue Pu without telling me, resulting in three dead and two wounded, and at the same time, two sentries and a centurion instructor were killed. If these deeds are written into the battle report by me, how do you think Governor Ma and Huo Dashuai will think of you? ”

Ma Butong saw sweat on his forehead, frowned, and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and I, Ma Butong, have a group of rice buckets under my command and messed up my clever plan." After a pause, he said: "As their leader, I also have the responsibility of not observing, and I will tell my superiors about my mistakes." But your mistake can't be left unwritten. Hum! ”

Tang Qi saw through Ma Butong's thoughts, this old boy wanted to wrestle with himself, and he wanted to find out Tang Qi's small mistakes and coerce Tang Qi to help him hide his big mistakes.

Tang Qi didn't continue to worry about Ma Butong, but asked the people around him to quit and chat with Ma Butong in private.

Later, I didn't know what Tang Qi said, Ma Butong walked out of the tent with joy, and then left with his people.

"General Tang, you can obviously bring him down, why did you let him go, and still record his military merits in the military newspaper?"

The third girl is familiar with General Tang, some of them are neither big nor small, and they dare to have a trace of emotion when they speak.

Perhaps, this is also a female soldier, if she had been replaced by a male soldier, she would have been beaten out of the army and beaten with a military stick.

Tang Qi didn't laugh angrily, and said, "You girl, you're just a stunned young man." Take him away and get a great character, do you think it's a good thing for me? Sometimes, it's actually a good thing to have a few rice buckets around. ”

There is another sentence that Tang Qi didn't say, Ma Butong is the younger brother of Ma Bufang, the governor of recruit training, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, so it is not good to make the relationship too stiff, besides, there is still a shortage of nearly 1,000 recruits in the Shandong Provincial Training Camp. Tang Qi happened to take advantage of this opportunity and asked Ma Bufang for some people.

The nearest Henan Province recruit camp is said to have been overstaffed, so what else is there to say.

"Han Dang, this waste, can't do two things in a row." Simon Mason threw his crutches angrily: "Then what do you need him?" Removed! ”
