"Brother Han, when are you going back to the capital, please come in quickly!" Li Zhang strode to the door, and when he saw Han Qi, he also stepped forward very enthusiastically, although the two had not seen each other for many years, Li Zhang still recognized him at a glance.

Han Qi also looked Li Zhang up and down at this time, and then said with a smile: "Brother Li, you have changed so much, if it weren't for people who are familiar with you, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to admit it." ”

It's no wonder that Han Qi said this, when he left the capital, Li Zhang had just eaten a full meal, his height had not grown, and the whole person was also dark and thin, but now not only is he not lower than him, but he has also grown into a beautiful young man with a good demeanor, if it weren't for the fact that he could vaguely see a little bit of Li Zhang's shadow back then from his facial features, I'm afraid he really wouldn't dare to admit it.

Li Zhang also laughed when he heard this, and then invited Han Qi into the house to talk in detail, and after sitting down, the two also talked about their experiences over the years, Han Qi left Beijing mainly because his mother was seriously ill, and after his mother recovered, he was at ease to study at home, and after preparing for a few years with confidence, he said goodbye to his family and came to the capital again after the Chinese New Year this year.

In addition, to Li Zhang's surprise, Han Qi has also married, and he is married to the daughter of the famous Cui family, although since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the influence of the family has been greatly weakened, but the Cui family is still a famous family, Han Qi can marry such a big family, which is enough to show that his potential is favored by the big family.

It can be said that Han Qi's experience is actually very simple, but he is very interested in Li Zhang's experience, not to mention the fact that Li Zhang and Liu E recognized each other, and then became a relative of the Great Song Dynasty.

The musket is classified, so Li Zhang can only pick something that can be said, and what can't be said must not be passed on, these Han Qi also understands, but he is most interested in Li Zhang's participation in the battle of the party in Gyeongju, after all, he was very interested in fighting the war at the beginning, and even thought about recovering Yanyun, although he was said by Li Zhang, but it seems that he has no intention of changing.

"Li Zhang, have you ever been on the battlefield, and what is it like to go to the battlefield for the first time?" Han Qi asked curiously again at this time, the two were childhood friends, so after meeting, they also let go of their usual restraints and revealed their true temperament.

"This ......" Li Zhang showed a contemplative expression when he heard this, and only replied after a while, "I haven't really been on the battlefield, but I was curious after a big battle, so I went to the battlefield to take a look, and the cruel scene was really beyond my imagination, the blood gathered into a river, and the stumps floated in the blood water, if there is really hell, I'm afraid it's just that." ”

Han Qi thought that Li Zhang would tell some heroic and heroic stories on the battlefield, but he didn't expect Li Zhang to only talk about the cruel side of the battlefield, which made him not know how to answer for a while? But Li Zhang spoke again: "Brother Han, do you know where the most cruel place on the battlefield is?" ”

"Where?" Han Qi hadn't reacted at this time, and asked casually at the moment.

"The wounded barracks, in fact, after a war, there are not many people who really died on the spot, but the wounded are several times the number of people who died in the war, these people are either broken hands and feet, or they are disemboweled, but they are still alive, and I know some medical skills, so after the war I went to the wounded barracks to help, the broken hands and feet can be connected, and if they are not connected, they must be sawed off, baskets of severed limbs are carried out and buried, and the dissected stomachs and wounds must also be sewn up, if the wound is inflamed, Then whether this wounded person can survive depends on God's will. ”

Li Zhang paused when he said this, and then said again: "I went to the wounded barracks for two days and one night, I don't know how many people's hands and feet were sawed off, and I don't know how many wounds were stitched up, and finally fell asleep on the herbal medicine bag, and since that day, I have been carrying a faint smell of blood on my body for more than a month, and I can't wash it off." ”

After listening to Li Zhang's descriptions, Han Qi couldn't help but show a shocked look on his face, he used to only think that he would be able to strategize and personally lead his troops to recover Yanyun one day, but he never thought that the battlefield would be so cruel, just listening to Li Zhang's descriptions made him feel a little uncomfortable, if he really went to the battlefield, could he really adapt to this cruelty?

"Brother Han, I know that you have the ambition to recover Yanyun, but if you really want to lead the troops, I suggest that you have better go to the border to polish for a few years, General Cao Wei Cao was born in Jiangmen, and his son Cao Yu has been by his side all the year round, and has also made a lot of military achievements, but it was not until last year that General Cao allowed Cao Ma to lead an army alone, my friend Hu Yan was trustworthy, and he was also born in Jiangmen, but it was also after Qingzhou made a lot of military achievements, he was transferred to Hebei as a general......"

"Brother Li, I understand, thank you for the reminder!" Without waiting for Li Zhang to finish speaking, Han Qi stood up and saluted him at this time, he knew that Li Zhang was reminding him that it was not easy to be a general, and he also thoroughly understood that fighting a war was probably not as simple as he thought.

Seeing Han Qi's sincere expression, Li Zhang also showed a satisfied smile, as long as he can understand this, calculate the time, next year's imperial examination will be the time when Han Qi enters the officialdom, and Han Qi's official luck is excellent, and he is likely to be transferred to Shaanxi as an official in the future as he did in history, I hope that at that time he can avoid historical mistakes because of his own reminder.

"Brother Han, you should be very sure of next year's imperial examination, right?" Now that Han Qi recognized his own problems, Li Zhang also began to change the topic, with his understanding of Han Qi, if the other party was not sure, he would definitely not come to participate in the imperial examination.

"I dare not say that I am ten percent sure, but six or seven percent are still there." Han Qi also showed a calm smile at the moment and said, he has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he has been studying hard at home in the past few years, and he has also done countless imperial examination questions over the years, so this time he also came with great confidence, you must know that he is only eighteen years old this year, and he will only be nineteen years old next year, and such a young jinshi is very rare in the Great Song Dynasty.

There is great uncertainty in the imperial examination, and the move that may be favored by everyone may be lost to Sun Shan, so it is quite rare for Han Qi to dare to say that he is six or seven percent sure, and he is only saying this in front of Li Zhang, if it is spread out, maybe he will be called arrogant.

After chatting about the imperial examination, Li Zhang and Han Qi chatted a few more words, and at this time, Han Qi finally thought of the reason why he came to Li Zhang today, so he hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Brother Li, I traveled with a few friends last night, but I encountered a rather strange thing. ”
