"Coming by order of the Marquis of Wu, General Wang Mang?"

The six gatekeepers of the Tianhan camp glanced at each other, and then one of them shook his head and said, "We are not controlled by General Wang, and please leave quickly, otherwise we will not blame me for taking you down." ”

Originally, according to the normal situation, if the person who came was not sent by Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty, or if it was not sent by the Eighth Prince, then these gatekeepers would definitely have to be caught and handed over to the commander for disposal.

Now the reason why they are so good at persuading each other is purely for the sake of Wang Mang's face when he goes to the border. They didn't want to provoke Wang Mang at this juncture, for fear that Wang Mang would be angry.

"We are ordered by the emperor to guard the border pass and resist the southern barbarians, and we must not leave easily. If the king has an order, you can ask your majesty to ask for a holy decree to send troops. One soldier added.

"Bastard, you don't even listen to Lord Wang's military orders?"

Han Li and Jing Sheng both had a kind of blind worship of Wang Mang, they both believed that Wang Mang was benevolent and righteous for the country and the people, and everyone else had to obey Wang Mang's military orders.

Now they saw that these gatekeepers didn't seem to take Wang Mang seriously, their hearts were slightly unhappy, and their faces were much gloomy. I wanted to have a seizure, but I restrained myself again.

"Two generals, it's not that we don't listen to Lord Wang's military orders, it's that we also have heavy responsibilities on our shoulders and can't leave easily."

"Hmph, so I won't see your commander today?" Jingsheng said coldly.

"You can't see it without an order, this is the rule of our Tianhan Camp." The gatekeeper said coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that you were sent by Lord Wang, we would have taken you down a long time ago." Trespassing on the barracks is a capital offense, and you must all know this, right? ”

Due to the unpleasant words of the two sides, there were some contradictions, and the tone gradually became a little worse, and they quarreled.

At this time, the soldiers who patrolled the police as usual in the distance noticed the movement and quickly rushed to a group of people, about more than 100 people. They are all dressed in military uniforms, their faces are cold, and they know at a glance that they are not easy to mess with, and they have blood in their hearts.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? ”

The leading soldiers shouted, their faces were not good, and they shouted at Jingsheng and the two: "Who are you, how dare you come here to make trouble, aren't you afraid of raiding your family and exterminating your family?" ”

The gatekeeper replied: "Lord Qiqi Baihu, the two of them said that they came by military order from Lord Wang Mang, the general of Zunwuhou, and they wanted to see our commander and send troops to the border to guard the pass. I said that you cannot see it without Your Majesty's oracle. They didn't comply, so they quarreled with us. ”

"Oh? They were sent by General Wang? ”

When Baihu heard the explanation, his face looked a little better, so that the soldiers under his command spread out in all directions, indicating that there was nothing to do.

After many soldiers left, Baihu said with a smile: "Lord Wang's prestige and benevolence, the last general has also heard of it and deeply admires it. This time, Lord Wang was ordered to lead the army to the border pass to resist the enemy under the heavy trust of His Majesty's holy decree and the ministers.

As long as the two generals can get the king to ask His Majesty for a holy decree, the last general is estimated that the general will also be happy to go and help. ”

As the saying goes, when you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense, and this is also a science.

Right now, the meaning in the words of this hundred households is actually the same as the meaning in the words of the gatekeepers, and there is no difference, and it requires Liu Xin's holy decree to do it. However, what he said was a little more pleasing to the ear than what the goalkeeper said.

When Jing Sheng and the others heard this, they came down smoothly, dissipated the anger in their hearts, and bowed their hands and said: "You are ordered by the emperor to guard the border pass, and you can't leave here easily, which is also as it should be." Just now, the two of us didn't make it clear for a while because of the urgency of the matter, which caused a misunderstanding, which is our fault, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”

"No, no, no, Lord Wang is worried about the country and the people, and the two generals are here on the orders of Lord Wang, and it is inevitable that they will make mistakes in their eagerness." Baihu's heart moved, and he was secretly vigilant, and asked, "I don't know how Lord Wang knows about our Tianhan Camp?"

General Gu Mo knows that my Tianhan battalion is not included in the statistics of the imperial army. And although our Tianhan Battalion is here to guard the Nanban, we are also secretly helping the border soldiers to guard it, and it seems that it is not known to outsiders. ”

"This is what Your Majesty told the King."

Jingsheng naturally knew some of the circumstances, but he didn't know the truth, because this time it was Wang Mang who forcibly persecuted Liu Xin, and it was not a normal borrowing.

At that moment, he and Han Li glanced at each other, and took out the five-clawed golden dragon jade pendant seal letter given by Liu Xin from his arms, "Lord Baihu, when I came, Lord Wang had an order, saying that there was an important military matter that we needed to convey to the Great Commander, and there was no delay. This is His Majesty's Imperial Gift to the King of the Army's Seal of the Tiger Talisman, and I also ask the Lord of the Hundred Households to quickly lead us to meet the Commander, so as not to lose the border war. ”

"Oh? Your Majesty's letter of transfer of troops? ”

Baihu took the jade pendant and glanced at it, but he didn't know whether it was true or false, and it was difficult to determine.

Of course, although he couldn't be sure, he didn't dare to be careless. Respectfully returned the jade pendant to Jingsheng, "The two generals can come with me." ”

"Thank you for your accommodating!" Jing Sheng and Han Li arched their hands, followed them on horseback, and went straight to the depths of the barracks.

This Tianhan camp covers an extremely wide area, covering more than 1,300 square kilometers, just like the area of a modern county.

Jingsheng and the two looked around to investigate the situation in the barracks.

They found that the overall level of these soldiers was much higher than that of the soldiers under the command of other families, and even surpassed the Liaoning army by a few points, like an elite.

It is conceivable that the ordinary soldiers here can be compared to the elite of other armies, so how strong are the elites here.

The two of them listened to them shouting, watched them train martial arts, and watched them line up and practice fighting, and couldn't help nodding secretly, very admired.

Time passed in a flash, and after about two hours, the two of them followed Baihu to the command tent at the rear of the barracks.

Coming here, Baihu dismounted and said, "Two of you, please wait here for a while, and wait for me to go to the ceremony." ”

"Hundred households, go by yourself." Han Li replied.

Baihu responded to the sound, came to the door of the commanding tent, and whispered a few words to a few soldiers.

The soldier heard the words, and went in to report.

After a while, the soldier came out of the big tent and said to the hundred households: "The general is invited!" ”

"Yes!"

Baihu nodded and entered the big tent.

As soon as he entered, he saw three or five people sitting in the big tent, all discussing something.

When these people saw Baihu coming in, they stopped talking, and one of them asked, "Zhu Zheng, why are you here?" Why didn't you let the soldiers at the door just now? ”

Baihu Zhu said: "Back to Lord Hou, the end will be difficult to spread because of the important matter, so I can't tell it, and I ask Lord Hou to forgive me." ”

"Oh? Matters? What is it? Tell me about it. The Grand Commander who sat at the top of the center smiled faintly, he really couldn't think of any important things to tell about a small hundred households.

Zhu Zheng said: "Lord Qiqi, when I was inspecting the camp just now, I found that there were two people fighting with the gatekeepers at the gate of the camp. The last general went to inquire, and they said that they had come by military order from the general of Wuhou, Lord Wang, and held a jade seal letter given by His Majesty, asking to meet your lordship. The last general didn't know the authenticity of the jade pendant seal letter, and he didn't dare to spread the news without authorization, so he did this. ”

"Oh? Sent by Wang Mang? What did he send people for? Where are those two now? The Grand Commander exclaimed.

Zhu Zheng replied: "It is said that it is for the border war, and the specific details will not be asked by the generals, and they are now at the door of the account." ”

"Border war? Could it be that the Gansu border pass has been lost again, and the military situation has been accelerated? Hurry up and invite those two to come in and meet...", the Grand Commander hurriedly shouted.

"Yes, sir!"
