Chapter 4 (20) Direction (Medium)

When it comes to Qian Laosan, Bao Kandu and Sun Zhongshan are all laughing. Bao Kan said: "Old Qian wants a gold medal, and he is going crazy. There are not many soldiers around Samu who he chases, and they are afraid of us, and the rabbits can bite them a few times, not to mention that Lao Qian still has dozens of people...... You say, he hasn't come back for so long, something should not happen, right? As he spoke, he turned and looked west. Although Sun Zhongshan listened to Bao Kan's words, although he was firm, he sounded like he was comforting himself, and the last sentence was even more revealing of his heart, knowing that the two of them had the best relationship, so he said with a smile: "When I collected the soldiers just now, I already asked Tian Xiaowu to bring two Shi to find him." ”

Bao Kan hehe, he said: "What is the use of Tian Wuwa when she goes?" I'm afraid that his own mother will come, and he may not be able to hold him! ”

"Then let his daughter-in-law pull it. Lao Qian is afraid of his daughter-in-law. Sun Zhongshan said with a smile. He suddenly seemed to remember something ridiculous, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud; In the end, he smiled on the horse's back, leaning forward and backwards, and couldn't straighten his waist. Bao Kanhu asked suspiciously: "What do you remember?" Just so Coke? Sun Zhongshan was already laughing so much that he could barely make a sound, but he waved his hand desperately without knowing what to do, and only straightened up after a while, wiped his tears and said to Bao Kan: "It's the story that Jin Xi told me." Ha ha...... That's it, I was paid that summer, and one night a few people got together to drink and play money, and the old money lost red-eyed, and put his daughter-in-law on the line, but the result was that the daughter-in-law was someone else's. Lao Qian gambled straightforwardly, admitted his account when he lost, and went home to pull people without saying a word, but he didn't come back for half an hour. The guy who won his daughter-in-law was also a mess, poured another belly of yellow soup, said 'I'll collect the money', and staggered out the door. Kim Hee and they also went to see the excitement. As a result, when I went to the place, Lao Qian's face was covered with blood strips scratched out, and he knelt naked at the door of his house, pulling a piece of tattered mat to cover up his shame and ugliness...... Hahaha. The most ridiculous thing is that Lao Qian saw Jin Xi and them, and explained vigorously: It's hot, and it's cool to strip naked...... Ha ha. ”

Bao Kan imagined Qian Laosan's appearance at that time, and he was also very happy, and said while laughing: "I didn't expect him to be such a capable woman." Can't tell! I can't see it! ”

As he spoke, the procession approached the grass. Sun Zhongshan just glanced at it, although there were people and horses in the huge grass col, but the number was obviously not the right way, and he asked in surprise: "Isn't that Captain Wen?" Didn't he take the rear team with him? What about the back team?! Why didn't you see the camel horse team behind? What about stones? Where is he? ……”

Shang Cheng had already seen that in addition to the dozens of hussars who were sitting and resting in the grass col, there was only one team of officers who didn't need to ask one by one, Wen Mu couldn't suppress those officers, so he left the back team and ran over first! Zhao Shiyi, he must have gone to find the rear team. He frowned. The team won a battle, but the officers did not come to care for the condolences, which is unreasonable; Could it be that something went wrong? Or is there something wrong with Chen Zhuguo?

He grabbed the reins, dismounted, and commanded, "I'll go and see, and you let the team rest on the spot." Tell the soldiers that the rear team will come up at once. He asked Sun Zhongshan again, "Did you go with me?" He thought that Sun Zhongshan's background as a "criminal pawn on the border" would definitely affect his future, but if Chen Zhuguo was fine, then meeting this big man at this time would be an opportunity for Sun Zhongshan. But this is more or less opportunistic, and he can't just make up his mind for Sun Zhongshan, so he must first consult Zhongshan's opinion.

Sun Zhongshan thought for a while and said, "There are many things here, so I won't go." ”

Shang Cheng was both a little disappointed and a little appreciative of this answer. He glanced at Sun Zhongshan with complicated eyes, nodded, and didn't say anything more, just walked towards the group of people alone.

Since he saw the victorious team returning from a distance, Chen Pu has not spoken, but just stared carefully at this team of Zhao soldiers, who have neither any military discipline nor any military appearance. She really couldn't see any difference between this team of soldiers and other Zhao soldiers. She couldn't understand that after these people got off the horse, they didn't have a whole team and sat on the ground and talked and laughed loudly, and they couldn't see any military discipline constraints, and all of them were not fully armored, so naturally they couldn't say that they had any military appearance; But why were these people able to beat the big horde soldiers to the ground and flee? Looking at Shang Cheng again, he was tall and straight, covered in blood, and his iron armor was also scattered, and his neck and arms were wrapped with strips of black and bloody cloth, and his face was full of tiredness, but there was a look of smiling on a terrifying face...... Could it be that this person is laughing at himself?

Thinking about it, Shang Cheng had already stepped over, and she approached, she breathed silently, and greeted first: "It's Captain Shang, right?" ”

As soon as she spoke, Shang Cheng knew that this was Princess Changsha, the general of the Pillar Kingdom. He stood still, raised his arms together in a military salute on his chest, raised his head and said, "...... Captain of the Fourth Battalion of the Baggage Battalion of the Left Route Army, Shang Cheng, commander of the Xima Zhijun Village of the Yanshan Border Army, Beizheng County, see General Zhuguo! ”

Chen Pu raised his hand and returned the salute: "Captain Shang has worked hard......" She originally wanted to say a few more words of comfort and compassion, but who knew that she suddenly saw that Shang Cheng still had that kind of contemptuous and treacherous smile on his face, and a nameless fire burst forth, and the abdominal draft that had been typed a long time ago disappeared in an instant, and she was almost about to attack on the spot. She grasped the hilt of the sword and tightened her hand a few times, and it was not easy to restrain her anger, but she didn't know what to say next, and it took a long time to learn the expressions and demeanors of the generals in the army that she saw on weekdays at such a time, and looked at Shang Cheng and asked, "...... How's the battle going? ”

This endless question made Shang Cheng stunned. The battle has been fought, at this time, General Zhuguo should ask about the casualties and the results of the battle, how can he ask about the battle situation? One by one? Does he still need to talk about this war? Standing here, he could hear the soldiers' loud voices when they reported their exploits: "The third soldier, the first eight horses, thirteen swords, three swords!" …… The head of the seventh army is eleven horses, four spears, one sword, and two! …… Sixth ......"

He slowly put down his injured shoulder blade arm and said loudly: "General Yuzhuguo, the casualties of our department have not yet been counted, and the results of the battle have yet to be verified. Preliminary confirmation: defeated two units of the Great Tent of the Turpentine and captured one flag; The defeat of two tribesmen of the Turgitz tribe, the capture of two flags, and the capture of a number of weapons and horses, are also being counted......"

Wang Yi had already heard that Shang Cheng was deliberately vague when reporting the results of the battle in order to save the face of the hussars. He was grateful, and the hostility towards Shang Cheng caused by Zhao Shishi's recklessness faded, so he smiled and nodded at Shang Cheng kindly.

Chen Pu only now saw that the strange smile on Shang Cheng's face was neither intentional nor unintentional, it was only because the terrible scar on his cheek was not well recovered that the entire right half of his face completely lost its due function. Looking at the blood-colored scar that snaked across his cheek, looking at the black blindfold he pressed against his right eye, and the blood stains on his right arm and body, she couldn't tell what it was like. Thinking back to the thrilling battles that have taken place all night, the soldiers have sacrificed their lives one after another, and the roars of the fierce battles and deaths seem to still echo in their ears...... In an instant, a thousand emotions turned into sighs, one by one, this is the real Da Zhao Huben......

Shang Cheng saw that Chen Zhuguo pursed his lips and did not speak, and added, "The enemy has been divided into four groups, fleeing to the west, northwest and north respectively, and it should not be impossible to reunite in a short time. Our unit has sent a ranger scout post to guard and reconnoiter fifteen miles away. General Zhu Guo is invited to show us the next move of our army. After speaking, he stared at Chen Zhuguo with his left eye, waiting for her order.

Chen Pu didn't know what to say.

Shang Cheng lowered his head slightly and stared at the bloody blades of grass, waiting for her to give an order, and his heart was also inexplicable. What kind of madness is this from the Dazhao court, how can you send a girl who doesn't know anything about it to the grassland? It is really unreasonable for such a person to command a war and not lose the battle......

In fact, he blamed Chen Pu for this. Although she is the fourth daughter today, and she has been awarded a long list of titles and positions, such as the deputy head of the Gyeonggi Xingying Battalion of the General of the Pillar State, in fact, except for the title of princess, the others are all fictitious titles, and when she is engaged in military and government affairs, she can only listen to the consultant and cannot interfere. Therefore, although her status is noble and noble, she actually has no real power at all, and the person she can really command may not even be as good as Shang Cheng, the captain of the border military camp.

Of course, it wasn't entirely his fault that he blamed Chen Pu. His understanding of the historical origin of this dynasty and the "inexplicable" Zhao Chen court, in addition to the scales and claws heard from others, is only a few intermittent descriptions in fragments of historical books, and he is still ignorant and confused about where and when he is. Moreover, the time for him to "settle down" is too short, and he has been living in a small border county, and he actually can't say he "understands" many customs and customs in the world; After enlisting in the army, in addition to fighting and recuperating from his injuries, the rest of the time he was in West Malaysia to train the military practice, there was no colleague to deal with in the small village on the border, and there was no boss who needed to be careful to deal with, and what he saw every day, in addition to his subordinates or subordinates, so he didn't know anything about the important news of the Great Zhao Zhujun and the guards and the officialdom in the imperial court. Just like Chen Pu, the matter of the female pillar country, is actually an old news that can't even be talked about "fresh", if he is a little idle and wants to inquire, Wen Mu can tell him about it, but he doesn't have this mind......

Now, Chen Pu has realized that he has violated the rules and regulations, and he is flustered and Shang Cheng is standing solemnly waiting for her military order, so he is naturally even more at a loss. Zhang Huang looked around in a daze, and saw that all the officers were silent like clay wood carvings with respectful expressions, and she was even more nervous that her palms were sweating, and it took a long time to open her mouth, and she was about to say, "Okay, you retreat first", Wang Yi interjected next to him and said: "How many enemies are left?" ”

Shang Cheng glanced at Chen Pu first, and saw that she not only did not mean to blame Wang Yi, but breathed a sigh of relief as if she was relieved, and secretly wondered in her heart, but said in her mouth: "At least there are more than a thousand left." There were also three or more groups of the enemy nearby, two of which were horse teams, each of which numbered from two to three hundred men; The other group was a large grain team heading east, with at least a thousand camels, horses, and wagons, and hundreds of guards, because of the tight guard, the outposts did not approach to reconnoitre. It is not known if there are any other enemies. He squatted down, and was about to draw a few things to put a more intuitive map, Wang Yi pointed to the slope and said, "We have a map." Let's go over there. The taste here is not good. As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Chen Pu. General, please. ”

Chen Pu nodded reservedly, and led everyone to find a clean open space at Pokan, and a hussar officer spread out a marching map on the ground.

Wang Yi didn't ask Chen Pu again, and asked bluntly: "Captain Shang, where did you find the enemy?" ”
