Chapter Twenty-Three: The Eve Was as Quiet as Ever

After entering Qiansang City, Li Guang first let the seriously wounded go for treatment, and the lightly wounded continued to stay in front of the city tower after simple treatment, waiting for dispatch. To say that Li Guang defended the city, with more than 2,000 troops, he was not afraid of the Hun cavalry. The Hun cavalry had never had any means to attack the city.

arranged the place where the soldiers went, strengthened the city defense, and then Li Guang ordered the rest of the soldiers to rest, and after a day's battle, they ran all night, and everyone was very tired.

After Qin Cheng disposed of the yellow flag, he went to the resting place of the eighteen shis alone. Although the official appointment of the military marquis has not yet come down, but Li Guang is appointed in the battle, this position naturally cannot be run, and at this time, Qin Cheng was ordered to go to the Eighteen Shi to hand over some affairs.

The residents near the city tower have been resettled according to the requirements of wartime, and there are only a few thousand soldiers here at this time, because considering that the Xiongnu still have the possibility of entering Qiansang City, the defenders of the entire Qiansang City have been transferred to the city gate, especially the north gate, which has the largest number of people.

Because of the lack of accommodation, the streets on both sides were crowded with Han army soldiers and soldiers, gathered together in formations, and almost all of them had fallen asleep by this time. Torches separated by some distances were arranged in an orderly manner, and a large distance near the north gate was very bright. Under the lamplight, the shadows of various people and things are either complete or mutilated, and they shake messily against the beating of the flames.

Autumn nights can be quite cold, especially in the north. The battle robe, soaked with blood and sweat, stuck to his body, and was extremely cold in the cold wind. Qin Cheng moved his wrist and looked up at the starry sky that was a little different from before the crossing, and his heart was slightly stunned. Pulling out the long knife that was already a little notched and looking at it, Qin Cheng's heart suddenly appeared with the poem that everyone would be familiar with in the world thousands of years later: Picking up the lamp to look at the sword when he was drunk, and dreaming of blowing the horn and the battalion......

Before he could find the foothold of the Eighteen Shi, a cavalry team of nearly ten people rushed over and rushed past Qin Cheng's eyes. Qin Cheng fixed his eyes and saw Le Yi at the back of the queue. At this time, Le Yi also saw Qin Cheng, greeted the people in front of him, and then turned around and ran towards Qin Cheng.

Without waiting for Qin Cheng to speak, Le Yi skillfully turned over and dismounted, and said excitedly: "I heard that you beheaded the left bone of the Xiongnu, are you injured?" I saw that you had been following General Li before, and I couldn't find a chance to ask you - I was in a coma when you cut off your left bone. ”

Le Yi didn't ask anything else, but asked Qin Cheng if he was injured, which made Qin Cheng's heart warm and replied, "I'm fine." Are you unconscious? What is the injury? ”

Le Yi still smiled, slammed his fist twice on his chest, and said: "There is no injury, but I fought too hard during the day, and my strength was used up, I ran into the mouth of the eagle, I was relieved, I didn't catch it, and I got off the horse, but fortunately, there were people next to me - I killed twenty Hun cavalry during the day!" ”

"Twenty?" Qin Cheng was slightly surprised, he naturally knew the cruelty of the melee during the day, and he also knew that he could almost be proud of the army by killing twenty enemies, so he smiled and said: "It seems that your hard work in the past ten years has not been in vain, such a feat, I am afraid that there are few people in the army who can catch up, as long as you don't die by then, it is inevitable to be added to the rank of knight." You're glorious this time. ”

"It's just a win, what a lot to worry about. How could you cut off the left bone of the Huns from the horse? Le Yi heard other people's descriptions of the scene of the battle against the left bone capital of Qincheng, and in addition to being surprised, he was also happy for Qin Cheng, "To say that the left bone of the Xiongnu has always been a warrior who can fight well, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a million." You have made a great contribution this time, deterred the enemy's courage, and the army was able to evacuate safely from the mouth of the eagle, which cannot be said to be without your contribution to the battle. I still have to admire you when I say that. ”

Qin Cheng and Le Yi walked side by side, Le Yi led the war horse, both of them were the aftermath of the catastrophe, and their true feelings were revealed in their words.

"On the way back, I saw you holding a yellow flag, which was very strange. Then how did the yellow flag end up in your hands? Le Yi asked.

"The marquis died in battle, and I took the yellow flag from the hands of the Huns, and then General Li asked me to carry it...... General Li appointed me as the new military marquis, but now there is no chief in the eighteenth century, and General Li asked me to go back and give instructions to let Dong Chu take over for the time being. Qin Cheng's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if he had become a cavalryman and had nothing to boast about.

"You took back the Yellow Flag?" Le Yi was surprised for a while, "This is another great achievement." It seems that no matter how many beheadings I have, I will not be as great as your two great achievements. I don't know how General Li will reward you after the war, as well as the court. Your two exploits will inevitably be reported to the court. ”

Qin Cheng smiled, not too much to say.

While talking to Le Yi, Qin Cheng also found Eighteen Shi, so he separated from Le Yi, went back to his own home, and looked for his mother.

"What's the chief, you're back?" When a soldier in Shili opened his eyes and saw Qin Cheng, he said in surprise, "Everyone, hurry up, Shi Chang is back!" ”

"Hmm." Qin Cheng nodded, helpless to realize the excitement of this soldier.

Dong Chu didn't fall asleep either, when he saw Qin Cheng, he was listening to the soldier's words, and slapped the back of the soldier's head at the moment, and scolded with a smile: "What is the chief, the chief is now a military marquis!" Does the marquis know? The general himself ordered the general, and I heard it with my own ears at the time. Isn't it, what, oh, no, marquis? ”

Seeing that several people who had lived on the battlefield had already woken up, Qin Cheng said: "General Li asked me to come back and make arrangements, and Dong Chu will temporarily replace the eighteenth Shishi." ”

"Is that true?" Dong Chu said in surprise, and then thought that it was just a temporary generation, and his heart was a little colder, but he thought that he had also killed a lot of Huns today, and as long as he didn't die after the war, it would definitely not be a problem to implement it, so he said: "Don't worry, Dong Chu will definitely live up to expectations!" ”

Qin Cheng nodded and said to everyone: "Although I will no longer be everyone's chief in the future, if you have anything in the future, as long as Qin can help, I will never refuse." ”

After all, Eighteen Shi is his birthplace, and Qin Cheng still has some feelings for the people in it.

Hearing Qin Cheng's words, everyone was complimented.

At the end, Qin Cheng ordered everyone to rest first, and pulled Dong Chu out and asked, "I couldn't take time to see Wu Daliang when I came back, how is his injury?" ”

"Don't worry, Da Liang, his life is hard, it's fine. I woke up on the way back, I went to see him at the time, and the first thing he said after he woke up was that he had been tired for a long time, and said that he had killed the left bone of the Huns. Dong Chu said truthfully.

Qin Cheng nodded. Wu Daliang's kung fu is actually not outstanding, but as a veteran, he still has a lot of knowledge. I don't understand why such a veteran is still just an ordinary soldier, and he hasn't even caught a single Qincheng by the military commander. I just thought that if I had a chance in the future, I could pull him along.

Dong Chu saw that Qin Cheng didn't speak, and his eyebrows fluttered: "The knife that the military marquis previously killed by the left bone of the Huns is really earth-shattering!" I saw it in my eyes, and my heart was also full of admiration. If you want me to say, the military marquis has such a ability, and his achievements in the future are limitless! If the military marquis really soars in the future, I hope that he will not care about the disrespect of his subordinates to the military marquis in the past, and he can pull his subordinates to the next hand, and his subordinates will be grateful. ”

"Don't worry. The brothers of the eighteenth will rely on you to take care of it a little more, and if anything goes wrong with you in the future, I will ask! "Dong ** has a lot of bad problems in the day, and he is also relatively snobbish. But he saved Qin Cheng on the battlefield during the day, and Qin Cheng recognized him. Because of this, Qin Cheng would not go around the bend with him.

"Don't worry, your subordinates will not let the brothers of the Eighteen Shi be bullied!" Dong Chu swore an oath, seeing Qin Cheng looking at him with interest, his mind turned around, and his voice weakened a little, "Of course, subordinates will not bully them." ”

"That's very good."

After explaining Dong Chu, Qin Cheng didn't know where to go for a while. None of the memories in my mind were about where the marquis should live. In the middle of the struggle, someone came to call Qin Cheng.

"Qin Cheng, summoned by the general." The pro-soldier team was walking quickly in front of Qin Cheng and said.

"No." Qin Cheng agreed to the promise and followed the pro-soldier team.

"I don't know what to call the eldest brother?" After walking a few steps, Qin Cheng asked. On the battlefield, Qin Cheng inadvertently saw this person make a move, and he only felt that this person's kung fu was very powerful, and the guard Li Guang also sacrificed his life, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart, and when he saw him for the first time before, he had a little impression that he didn't have the slightest stammering with Li Kang, so he asked.

"Just call me Li Hu." The pro-soldier team said lightly.

"It turned out to be Brother Tiger. On the battlefield today, I saw that Brother Tiger was very skilled, and I admired it in my heart. I don't know why Brother Tiger didn't participate when he tried it, and I regretted that I couldn't recruit Brother Tiger Qin! Qin Cheng said boastfully, naturally thinking about getting closer to others, such a righteous and martial pro-soldier team, it is better to be familiar with it than not to be familiar with it.

"Try it all, I'm not interested." Li Hu's tone was still very light, and after saying that, he glanced at Qin Cheng and saw that Qin Cheng's expression was normal, "But I've made two moves with you, and I'm still interested." ”

"Oh? So much better. That another day, Qin Mou will definitely ask Brother Tiger for a lesson or two. Qin Cheng said with a smile.

"Let's practice hard, I won't show mercy." Li Hu said lightly, it seemed that Qin Cheng, who had slashed the left bone of the Huns, did not make him look at him differently, "Of course, the premise is that you have to survive this war." ”

At this time, Li Guang had finished inspecting the guards of the city tower and was reading by candle in the big tent. When Qin Cheng followed Li Hu into the account, he didn't see Li Kang, and he guessed that he was sleeping.

"General, Qin Cheng brought." Li Hu shouted an order to Li Guang, then turned around and walked out of the camp.

"I've seen the general. I don't know why the general summoned his subordinates? Qin Cheng saluted.

Li Guang put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at Qin Cheng and said, "Earlier, I saw that you had made meritorious service in guarding the Yellow Banner, so I named you as the new military marquis. It is not appropriate to think about this proposition now, so I called you here with the intention of changing your position. ”

Speaking of this, Li Guang paused, saw Qin Cheng's expression as usual, and continued: "But I can't find a suitable position for you for a while, so it's better for you to stay with me for the time being, and when this battle is over, I will report to the court and give you a suitable position for meritorious service." What do you think? ”

"Do as the general commands." Qin Cheng said respectfully. I thought: Thinking about it, Li Guang felt that his performance today was not bad, and he wanted to be his assistant. Thinking of this, Qin Cheng smiled in his heart, it was not in vain that he had taken the risk of speaking to Li Guang regardless of the difference in the identities of the two before. But fortunately, he was facing the flying general Li Guang, if he was replaced by an ordinary general, he was afraid that he would not let himself have a chance to speak like Li Kang.

Li Guang nodded, satisfied with Qin Cheng's performance. Li Guang asked Qin Cheng about the current battlefield situation, and before Qin Cheng could say what he thought, Li Hu entered the account and reported to Li Guangyu: "General Yu, cavalry captain Ji Zhu has returned to the camp!" ”

"Let him in!" Li Guang's spirit was shocked, and then he said. Ji Zhu, the cavalry captain, led a team of cavalry to make the trick of "hanging sheep beating drums and hungry horses neighing" at the eagle's mouth.

"No!"

Immediately, a man with a figure similar to Qin Cheng strode into the big tent, this person looked very ordinary, and belonged to a character who was still unrecognizable in the sea of people. If it is special, it is his shining eyes and a fierce temperament revealed by his body.

"Ji Zhu see the general." The man entered the camp tent and bowed down to Li Guang.

"Ji Zhu, what's the situation?" Li Guang hurriedly asked.

"The last general was fortunate not to be dishonored, and when the eagle's mouth tossed to the son, the Huns did not notice. Only then did he follow the general's order and lead his headquarters back to the city! Ji Zhu replied.

"Good!" Li Guangdao, "General Ji Zhu is really brave. Now you go to rest and prepare to fight again next day! ”

"The last general obeys!"
