At the foot of the wild wolf slope, Situ Bao led thousands of armor soldiers under his command to rush into the Qiang army formation and kill all sides. For a moment, shouts of killing and screaming arose.

The Qiang army did not take advantage of the situation, and first lost the commander and then lost the morale of the army, and the two armies were divided into winners and losers as soon as they met. This raid came and ended quickly. In just one hour, there was no longer a standing Qiang army on the main road down the slope.

Situ Leopard couldn't help frowning when he saw the corpses all over the ground and the enemy rout at the end of the road that was no longer visible, and he didn't have the joy of just finishing the battle.

"General, the enemy's rout has run away."

"Order, gather troops, and prepare to return to camp!" Situ Bao listened to Han Yi's words, nodded, and then gave the military order to return to the camp.

The Greedy Wolf Army is worthy of being an elite division, and in just a few moments of incense that Situ Bao ordered, thousands of armor soldiers from all over the slope were gathered together. They lined up in a long line with flags as a unit, escorting the tributary wagons of the Qiang people back to the camp.

The wild wolf slope was less than 100 miles away from the Yang'anguan camp, and the greedy wolf army drove the carriage all the way, and finally returned to the Yang'anguan camp on the morning of the third day.

As soon as he returned to the barracks, Xiang Beichuan hurried to Jiang Lan's camp. Xiang Beichuan opened the curtain and saw Jiang Lan lying on the bunk eating dried dates.

"Brother Jiang, why are you still eating? Don't know you're in trouble? ”

"Trouble? Why did the master get into trouble again? That's right! This is the dried jujube I brought back a few days ago, it is very sweet, can you eat some? Jiang Lan grabbed a handful of dried dates with a smile and handed it to Xiang Beichuan, but he didn't care about what he said.

"Oh, what are you eating? You don't know, on the way back to the camp, I walked next to General Situ and them. I heard with my own ears that Situ Bao asked Han Yi about you! Now it's possible to discuss how to execute you! Xiang Beichuan was anxious for Jiang Lan, but he saw that the other party looked indifferent.

"Forget it! He also executed me? Let me tell you, he has to offer the master now! If it weren't for the master's arrow, he Situ Leopard wouldn't have grown ten more heads enough to cut off! ”

Xiang Beichuan asked with a blank face when he heard this, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Jiang Lan spit out the jujube kernel in his mouth, and sat up one by one, he looked at Xiang Beichuan, who was a little dazed, and said slowly: "Do you remember the night I asked you 'the purpose of the ambush'?" Situ Bao asked us to wear the armor of the Northern Wei border army and rob the tributary team under the banner of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was nothing more than to provoke a conflict between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Qiang tribe in order to seek the benefit of the fisherman. However, he was calculating the other party, and the other party was also calculating us - that night under the wild wolf slope, in addition to the tributary team of the Qiang people, wasn't there a group of Qiang troops pretending to be outcasts? If I'm not mistaken, they should be coming for Yang'an Pass! ”

"What? Yang'an Guan? Xiang Beichuan was a little incredulous.

"If you think about it carefully, although those fake homeless people can't pass the level, the tributary team can! If they pass the pass, they will join the false outcasts from outside. I think that in less than half an hour, Yang'an Pass will be broken! And half an hour is not enough for our battalion to assemble! Moreover, even if we finish assembling and look at each other's posture, I am afraid that there are only more people than us, not less than us. With the intention to attack unprepared, not only Yang'an Pass, but even our greedy wolf army camp may not be guaranteed! Jiang Lan paused at this point, he looked at Xiang Beichuan, and saw that his face was already slightly pale, "At that time, I saw that something was wrong, but I waited for a long time and didn't wait for Situ Leopard's military order." I guess that old man is just like you - confused! Since he can't make a decision, the master has no choice but to make decisions for him. ”

Xiang Beichuan licked his lips, obviously he was so shocked by what he heard just now that he didn't know what to say for a while. After being silent for a long time, he reminded him: "I don't read much, and I can't tell right from wrong for a while." But I know that Situ Leopard is definitely not a good talker. This time you give orders on his behalf, so that he will lose face, who knows if he will remember your favor or your hatred? ”

"If Situ Bao is really a stingy person, then the young master has no choice but to accept his fate!" Jiang Lan said as he handed over the dates in his hand again.

Xiang Beichuan shook his head when he saw this, and took it easily.

"By the way, you shot a beautiful arrow yesterday, I've never seen such a fast arrow!" Xiang Beichuan said while eating dates, "Brother, just say it, how many skills have you not used in this body?" ”

"Hey, the ability is too small, and the master is embarrassed to mention it." Jiang Lan waved his hand proudly and said, "To tell the truth, the master will do this." Knife skills, light skills and archery. You haven't seen my master, that old man is a stunt! His Seven Masterpieces ......"

"Ahem......"

Jiang Lan was talking forgetfully, but suddenly heard a cough outside the door. The two turned their heads to look, only to see the curtain lifted, and a middle-aged man walked in.

"See Lord Captain!"

The person who came was the captain of the first battalion on the left, Han Yi. And the person gave him a salute, Han Yi nodded in return, but his eyes always looked at Jiang Lan.

"You go out first! I have something to do with Jiang Xiaoshui. ”

Xiang Beichuan immediately saluted and retired when he heard this, and before leaving the camp, he glanced back at Jiang Lan, with an expression of "good luck", Jiang Lan scolded secretly in his heart when he saw this.

"Jiang Xiaoshui, should I call you General Jiang?" Han Yi looked at Jiang Lan with a smile on his face.

"Lord Lieutenant laughed."

"Hmph, battlefield disobedience, the commodore gives orders, you are so bold!"

"My lord, I'm ......" Jiang Lan was startled by Han Yi's shout, his mind suddenly went blank, and he couldn't remember the words he had prepared at all.

"Fortunately, you are only a soldier commander, if you are made a captain, I am afraid that you will have to change your flag and raise troops to rebel!"

Han Yi saw Jiang Lan's face flushed, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Jiang Xiaoshui, you said that you usually chirp like a bird, why can't you defend yourself at this time?" ”

Han Yi's words were full of protection for Jiang Lan, but Jiang Lan didn't seem to hear it, he just arched his hand and said: "The subordinates know that they are causing a big disaster, but please rest assured, the subordinates will do things alone, and they will definitely not implicate the adults!"

"You!"

Han Yi just wanted to have a seizure, but saw Jiang Lan put on a hippie smiling expression.

"Boss Han, don't worry! Although the master caused trouble this time, he also made meritorious contributions! That old man Situ is no longer unreasonable, and he can't really cut down a hero, right? ”

"If only that were the case!"

Han Yi ignored Jiang Lan's unbeaten expression, turned his head and said, "General Situ ordered me to pass you over, you can go with me to see him after you tidy up your appearance!" Han Yi pointed at the corner of Jiang Lan's mouth stained with food residues, "He's not as easy to deal with as I am, you wait to think of an explanation, it's best to take the initiative to receive a penalty of dozens of military sticks, maybe he is soft-hearted, and this matter will be over." ”

After that, Han Yi went out of the military tent, and after Jiang Lan sorted out his image a little, he also went out of the military tent, and went with Han Yi to find Situ Leopard.

Jiang Lan belonged to Han Yi's Zuo 1st Battalion, and its garrison was separated from the Chinese army's big tent by an arsenal and a school field, and there was still a distance between it.

The two walked for a while, and then they arrived at the Chinese army. The middle camp is not as full of military tents as the left battalion. There were only a dozen or so small tents, and the stars surrounded a large tent like a moon.

The height of the big tent is about one zhang, and the length and width are about five zhang. Thirty steps in front of the door, there are three big flags: one red, one black, and one yellow: the red flag has the word "Liang" written on it, the black flag has Tianshu greedy wolf star painted on it, and the yellow flag has the word "Situ" written on it. The three flags are lined up, and they look very majestic!

Jiang Lan and Han Yi came to the big tent, and there were two sergeants in armor and halberds at the door of the tent.

"I have seen Lord Han in my humble position, please forgive me for the two of us being in armor, and it is inconvenient to see me." The two of them obviously recognized Han Yi, bowed their heads slightly at him, and said loudly.

Han Yi also nodded in return and said with a smile: "Where the two accusations are, there is no need to be polite." By the way, this is the person General Situ is looking for. ”

Han Yi said, pointing at Jiang Lan who was following alongside.

The two of them looked at Jiang Lan a few times, and only said that the general was waiting to see him and told him to enter the account directly.

Seeing this, Han Yi whispered to Jiang Lan, and then went back to the camp with "some military affairs".

……

In the military tent, Situ Leopard was staring at the sand table in a daze, and there was a letter written on the side of the sand table with "Expedition to the Western General's Mansion".

"Subordinate Jiang Xiaoshui, see General Situ."

A young voice pulled Situ Leopard out of his thoughts. When he looked up, he saw a young man in standard light armor, kneeling on one knee and giving a military salute.

"Excuse me!" Situ Bao signaled Jiang Lan to finish the military salute, and then began to look the young man up and down.

I saw the person in front of me, with a tall figure of seven feet, with a light armor, and an angular figure. Coupled with that handsome face and angular facial features, he looks heroic.

"Yo! In my greedy wolf army, when did such a handsome boy come here! ”

Situ Leopard's expression seemed to be smiling, which made Jiang Lan's heart frizzy.

"This old man...... Could it be that there is some habit that can't be done......" he muttered in his heart, but his mouth said vaguely, "The general said that he was laughing, and his subordinates ......"

"Jiang Xiaoshui! Are you going to be joking with you? You have no military discipline, you give orders without authorization, and you ignore military law as nothing! Are you guilty? Situ Leopard shouted loudly, so frightened that Jiang Lan fell directly to the ground.

He hurriedly explained: "General, subordinate, subordinate is just ......"

"However, this battle would not have been so easy without you shooting the enemy chieftain...... You have had it, but it is not necessarily useless. You say, do you deserve the award or the punishment? ”

This sudden turn of events made Jiang Lan a little speechless: "Old man Situ, you want to scare the master to death!" Whether this is a reward or a punishment is not all up to you, but now you want to ask me, what kind of heart do you know, ...... you are safe" He complained in his heart, but his mouth was still respectful: "The subordinates are at the discretion of the general!"

"Humph! You're smart! Situ Bao suddenly got up and paced in the room, and after a while, he slowly stood still and looked at Jiang Lan in front of him.

"As a soldier, the most taboo is to obey the general! This greedy wolf army, with 30,000 horses and horses, is the most elite army in my Great Liang Country! But if there is no unified command, and the soldiers fight separately, it will be a plate of scattered sand! Situ Bao's words seemed to be reprimanding, but his tone was unusually calm, "Therefore, if you continue to stay in the army, I am afraid that everyone will follow suit...... You can't stay in this camp! ”

"General, subordinates are guilty, subordinates ......"

"Listen to me......" Situ Bao interrupted Jiang Lan, and he continued to say slowly, "Although this military camp can't keep you, but you have made meritorious contributions, and the general will still promote you." You were originally the commander of the nine-rank army, but now you are promoted to the eight-rank warehouse Cao Rafter, responsible for the Yinping City military warehouse. ”

"My subordinates have thanked the general."

Jiang Lan respectfully thanked him, but his heart was as disgusting as eating a fly. He hadn't heard of this "Cangcao rafter", though. But when I heard about the management of the military warehouse, I knew that Bacheng was a warehouse watcher. It sounds good, but it doesn't have any use.

"Well, I will reward you with another twenty taels of silver. You pack up and go to work in these two days! ”
