Chapter 84: And there are few major generals
There were many people in the barracks here, and there were only three people outside of the White Head Army.
Lao Wu, Shang Yiyan, and the little five coins who like to wear light yellow clothes.
There are not many people, and when they go out of the border gate, a few people break off, and a few people who are not very comfortable here.
I don't know where these people are buried, but they are all places in the Tang Dynasty, and they are also considered to have died in their hometowns.
"When are you going to go to the border gate?"
Shang Yiyan knew that he couldn't keep much money, and the border pass would have to go sooner or later, but it would always take a while, probably after the Goguryeo battle, the Tang Dynasty would free up his hands.
It may be a few days, a few months, a longer period of time, Shang Yiyan hopes that it will be a few years, so that there is no danger in the money, but it can also be regarded as the word peace.
"I still have to wait for someone, otherwise it's just us, if I can fight back to the border pass, I won't have to go out of that border pass."
Shang Yiyan nodded, this proves that there is still a lot of money, and he always thinks about what will happen in the future, what he will do, and what the consequences will be if he does it.
"Is it a long time?"
Of course, the longer the better, but the shorter the better, Shang Yiyan thought very entangledly.
"It shouldn't be a long time, after all, the border pass is from the Tang Dynasty, not from the Northern Qi Dynasty,"
Qian Duo was talking, and Lao Lin's voice came out again outside the military tent.
"General Qian, the people of the White Shoujun want to meet you."
When Lao Lin said this, naturally there were a lot of people coming, because if there were fewer people coming, Lao Lin would definitely say something, and as soon as a few people outside shouted, they all came in.
"Let's go, go out and have a look."
Qian Duo said, then pulled Shang Yiyan and walked out, nearly a thousand people were wearing armor, iron helmets, and wooden armor, but they were all in order.
The red feathers on the helmets above their heads were blowing in the wind, but it was a group of veterans here watching their general.
"General Qian, we, the Tang soldiers, hope to die on the battlefield."
With the Mo knife in his hand, the voice may be small for one person to shout, but nearly a thousand people shouting it out here are a bit shocking.
"Lao Lin, is this trying to coerce me to go to the border and send everyone to death together?"
Qian Duo's tone was flat, looking at the veterans of a hundred battles in front of him, Qian Duo didn't have mixed feelings.
Of course, Qian Duo is afraid of death, but he is even more afraid that he will die by his own hands if he survives on the battlefield with this group.
In that kind of life, Qian Duo felt that it was no more enjoyable than not leaving in the first place, and directly killing the people of Northern Qi.
"We don't mean that, we just want General Qian to see that our army is wearing armor, and we are also soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."
Lao Lin smiled, but he smiled very easily, although the veterans couldn't go back to the border pass, but their hearts were still there.
"I don't know how many people we have left."
Qian Duo looked at the old men in armor in front of him, some he knew, some he didn't know,
Some of them have beaten themselves with wooden sticks, and some of them have kicked themselves in the ass twice when they are knocked down.
Qian Duo looked at the past one by one, there were a few people he was familiar with, and there were a few people he had never seen. All white hair was hidden in the helmet.
These people have endured wars again and again, and their lives have not been taken away by Lord Yama, but they are always afraid that they will really settle down one day.
The hard bones suddenly softened, and when they couldn't get hard, they didn't know what would happen then.
"Eight hundred and twenty-three left."
Lao Lin stayed in the army for a long time, how long is it, that is another story, to start from more than ten years ago.
But Lao Lin also doesn't understand it very much, for example, recruits are always told by veterans that if they are afraid, they will come to drink, and if they have drunk, they will not be afraid.
When you kill an enemy for the first time on the battlefield, you need a glass of wine, which is the second cup that the recruits drink, and the first cup is the wine that the general soldier invited them to drink when they left their homeland and came to the border pass.
Gradually, the recruits became veterans, and the more they drank, the more they drank, and today a person in the army died, and tomorrow the boss died.
The day after tomorrow, a person in the military tent may also die, and there are too many people who die, and the veterans who have become recruits also tell the recruits to drink alcohol, and wine is a good thing.
But the veteran will get tired of drinking one day, it is better to say that he is numb to drinking, not so much drinking as the taste of nostalgia. The taste of being a recruit himself,
"One thousand and one people, and eight hundred and twenty-three remaining."
There are many people in the White Head Army who stay at the border pass, and there is no way to do it, because if someone wants to leave, someone must stay, this is the rule of survival.
"General Qian, we know that there is not much wind and waves for this person to send to the Northern Qi people. But we, as Tang people, as soldiers, even if we are old, a handful of bones are still hard. ”
What Lao Lin said was actually what the soldiers below wanted to say.
"Of course we will go back, and from here we will fight back to the border."
Qian Duo looked at Lao Lin and found that his hair was covered, this group of people is the Datang soldiers, where are there any veterans, new soldiers and veterans, he can be a soldier of the Datang Dynasty, and he can beat the border back.
"Does the general need us?"
Lao Lin's fist-clasped hands trembled slightly, and what he couldn't hide in his tone was the pride that the Northern Qi people who wanted to fight didn't know their parents.
"We were all beaten out of the border pass, if we can't fight back, why do you call me a general? If I don't need you, why are you wearing armor? ”
Qian Duo looked at the veterans below, one person was talking here, but everyone present could hear it, this is not supernatural powers, not Buddhism, Taoism.
Instead, the people below didn't dare to make a sound, so it seemed that Qian Duo was talking in the valley, and his voice kept echoing.
"The White Shoujun is willing to fight with General Qian at the border pass."
Eight hundred and twenty-three, first Lao Lin shouted out, three five, ten, and finally eight hundred and twenty-three. The momentum is thundering.
"I'm willing to go to the border with everyone here to fight and fuck the Northern Qi people."
Qian Duo likes the way he looks now, scolding people is refreshing, it would be better if he could kill a few more Northern Qi people.
"Are you really going to the border?"
Lao Wu was standing aside, and he saw the old five just now, and said that he took the Bai Shoujun to the border to fight the Northern Qi people, and the fifth man frowned.
It would be disappointing if the students of the academy were just like this, and if such a person was not in the academy, the fifth child would not be disappointed when he saw it anywhere.
It was precisely because he was in the academy that he was dressed in white, so he was very disappointed in this way, after all, Shang Yiyan would also be handed over to this kid in the future.
"The master asked me to go, the Qian family asked me to go, and more importantly, I want to go."
Qian Duo said slowly.
"You are now a major general, how do you go back to the border?"
Lao Wu asked with a frown.
"You're wrong, this is called less soldiers, fewer generals."
Qian Duo smiled as if everything was under control.
