Text Chapter 425 Riding a Horse Like Your Gentle Sword
Just when Yuan summoned them to go on an outing and talk and laugh on Taohuaping, outside the camp of the Black Eagle Army not far from here, someone was angry and angry.
Most of the Black Eagle Army has long ceased to be stationed here, and their current location is the Xiliu Battalion in the west of Chang'an City. And those who remained on the side of the original station were only 5,000 men and horses. These people did not participate in the original Battle of Yanmen Pass, and because they had clashed with the Han army of the northern army camp for some reason, they were recorded as a major demerit by the imperial court. So in a sense, they seem to have been cut off from the Black Hawks who have returned victoriously.
In fact, it is. The main force of the 20,000 Black Eagle Army, which went north under the leadership of the main general Wei Qing, defeated the Hun cavalry outside the Yanmen Pass, and set a brilliant record. Now it has become the main force of the Han army supported by the imperial court. In three or four years, the army has expanded to nearly 80,000 people, and they moved into the famous Xiliu Camp to defend Chang'an, look at the north, and be relied on as the dry city of the country.
And the five thousand Black Eagle Army, who continued to be ordered to be stationed in the original camp of Changle Plateau, seemed to have really been forgotten. Not only do they not have a share of the various rewards, but even the military drills on weekdays no longer care about them.
The two leading captains, Li Wang and Zhang Kuo, were very disappointed in the first days. After all, they are all brothers who used to be in the same camp, and suddenly they are divided into high and low. This huge gap is somewhat unacceptable to both the soldiers under their command and themselves.
Later, when Yuan Zhao returned to Changle Yuan, he went to the camp to gather all the soldiers and gave them some reasoning, telling them to wait patiently, and the opportunity to contribute to the country to kill the enemy will be there in the future, and at that time it is the time to show their own strength.
Changle Hou's words, everyone is still convinced. Although they had been given major demerits, the imperial court did not do anything to them, and the various military salaries they should have were still the same as before. This calmed everyone's mind a little. Later, when Wei Qing, Marquis of Changping, who had been appointed by the emperor as the general of the Great Sima, came to visit them and gave them a lot of encouragement. It was said that they should continue to be stationed on Changle Plateau for the sake of vigilance. As the former colleagues in the army came and went one after another, although some envied that they had all been promoted to the marquis, the gap in their hearts gradually subsided.
And the only thing that made all the 5,000 soldiers feel great comfort was that Huo Qu, the youngest of the twelve captains of their Black Eagle Army, had come back from illness. One day, Huo Quai, who had been appointed as a hussar captain, rode back to Changle Plateau and served as the commander of the 5,000 Black Eagle Army.
Although everyone didn't understand why the champion Hou, who was the emperor's favorite, would abandon the Xiliu camp and return to the Changle Plateau camp, everyone was very excited. This disciple of Yuanzhao, who was enshrined for his merit of capturing the king, has already become a newly rising hero in the Han army. And the fact that such a character can come back as their main general gives everyone a lot of hope.
At all times, the heaviest hero in the army. Here, no matter what special status you have, no matter what superior status you have, it doesn't make a big difference. They are all good men who pour their hearts and souls, and only truly brave and invincible people can be respected and obeyed.
Hussar lieutenant is not only a disciple of Changle Hou Yuanzhao, but also a young hero who was born like a meteor in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, such a person is worth following.
And in the next few years, Huo Quzhi did not disappoint them. These 5,000 cavalrymen have endured devilish training in their hands, and it is simply miserable. It was as if there was an uncontrollable anger hidden in the hussar lieutenant's heart, which made all those who had been trained by his own hands tremble and obey.
If you don't accept it, you can't do it, and you can't be afraid! It's not that no one has ever protested against Captain Huo's training methods. However, there was only one answer they received, and the hussar captain with the pear flower gun in his hand stood on his horse, and only said a word dismissively.
"It's okay if I don't want to carry out my general's order, as long as I can outperform this gun!"
No one can beat the gun that once broke the army and captured the king in the snowflakes, so he could only bow his head obediently, and no one dared to disobey the general's order again. Five thousand cavalry are like one person, spears are headed, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front, the men and horses are fearless, and there is no one who retreats half a step!
Huo Quzhi really has a fire in his heart, and this fire has been burning in his chest for nearly four years. For this reason, she did not hesitate to disobey the military order of the general Wei Qing and ran back to Changle Plateau alone. And no matter how much Yuan Zhao persuaded him, he refused to go back. Even if Wei Qing came in person, removed the general's shelf, and said bitterly several times as an uncle, it would be useless at all. This proud heart, once it gets into the horns, no one can persuade it back.
In the end, there was really no way, and Yuan Zhao had no choice but to fulfill her wishes. After discussing with Wei Qing, Wei Qing appointed Huo Qubing as the chief general of the 5,000 Black Eagle Army in the Changle Yuan battalion in the name of the general, which could be regarded as an explanation in case the emperor asked. Huo Quzhi didn't care what excuse they found to cover up for themselves, anyway, the court and the emperor were sorry for the master, depressed his merits, and didn't give him the merit he deserved, which made her aggrieved and unhappy for the master, so she lost her temper in anger and ran back. Since Yuan Zhao is not in the Chang'an court, she is too lazy to be over there, what kind of marquis is not worth caring about at all. Changle Plateau is the home in the past few years!
After Huo Qu's illness came back, she had already heard about what happened to the five thousand Black Eagle Army, and she made up her mind, since this cavalry was in her hands, under the nose of the master, she must polish them into the most powerful army, stronger than the Black Eagle Army of the Xiliu Battalion! One day in the future, it will surprise everyone. With this determination and the anger that has not subsided, these five thousand Black Eagle soldiers began a purgatory-like tempering process under their hands, and it has been nearly four years since today.
For the officers and men of the Black Eagle Army in the Changle Plateau Battalion, today was originally a very good weather, and there was no plan to train, so they said that they would improve their food at noon. But he didn't know what was going on, and the hussar captain suddenly sent a cavalry in the army to inform Li Wang and Zhang Kuo, asking them to quickly gather their men and horses and set off immediately to go to Zhongnan Mountain for a training exercise.
Although they were a little surprised to hear the news, the two people who had already formed a habit of obedience to the Lord did not dare to slack off. Captain Huo doesn't look young, but his temper is sometimes very short-tempered, and he is good in normal times, but once he starts a regular military operation, he will turn his face. Military orders are ruthless, and it is common for these people in the army to be beaten with military sticks. Therefore, the general order, the whole army acted quickly and quickly assembled, and no one dared to hold back.
Li Wang and Zhang Kuo were at the front, and peeked at the hussar captain's face, the situation is a little bad today! Later, we must instruct the soldiers to behave well, so as not to accidentally suffer hardship.
Hussar Captain Huo Qu was sick and strangled the silk reins of the Dragon Horse Champion, and the spring breeze swept the red tassel of the battle helmet on his head, but he was not wearing the black flying eagle robe, but wearing the big red cloak that Master Yuan Zhao designed and tailored for her a long time ago when she was still named Xiaoice.
Now, Xiaoice's name has not been called for a long time. She is the majestic Hussar Captain Champion Hou! However, what I craved most from the bottom of my heart was the childish name that came out of the mouth of the most familiar and affectionate. However, he refused to call himself that anymore.
The Black Eagle Army camp is on a flat land at the foot of the mountain, and the location of this place was originally jointly chosen by Master Yuanzhao and Uncle Wei Qing. Willow trees are planted on both sides of the camp, and the spring light is just right at this time, and the branches of the willow trees are emitting tender green branches and buds, which gently fall to the ground, and exude the breath of boundless spring.
However, Huo Quai, who had just turned eighteen, was in a bad mood at the moment. I don't know what happened to me, when she rode past the gate of the camp a quarter of an hour ago, and saw the familiar figure talking and laughing with a group of people on the side of the hill under the peach blossom flat on the side of the hill, and a bitter and lost taste that had never been felt before suddenly appeared in the depths of her heart. She didn't know what it was called, anyway...... It's uncomfortable!
As a result of the hussar captain's bad mood, all the officers and men of the Black Hawk Army will be unlucky. Let's go to the mountains for night training! Huo Qu's sharp order, none of the five thousand knights dared to slack off, and rode their horses straight to the destination in the mountains in an orderly manner.
Huo Quzhi endured the sourness in his heart, and his aggrieved eyes looked at the crowd on the hillside again through the willow branches blown by the spring breeze. She desperately longed that she could be one of them again, laughing carefree and laughing as before. But she couldn't! Thinking of the words that Yuan Zhao had said to her in a very serious tone when she ran back to Changle Plateau willfully, he fiercely suppressed the tears that were about to well-up in her eyes.
“…… The reason why Master agreed to keep you by his side and teach you all kinds of skills was not to trap you in this small square inch for the rest of your life...... You are originally a dragon and phoenix above the nine heavens, roaring in the sky, and the wind and clouds are turbulent, which is what you should do...... If you continue to be so willful, I will be angry. Don't live up to my expectations of you! ”
Yuan Zhao's words were engraved in her heart word by word, and of course she knew that his ruthlessness was all for her own good. But...... I really want to go back to those old days! Even if you listen to him rub his head and call Xiaoice again!
"One day, I will do what you want me to do on my own, and then I will be qualified to stand by your side! Like, like...... Sister Lingzhi is ...... like that! ”
Tianshan Ryoma seemed to understand the emotions in the master's heart, looked up to the sky and hissed, his four hooves were like thunder, and he went straight to the reckless mountains with a flying red, and threw the words full of infinite heart and tenderness into the wind.
