Chapter 11 A Dull Frontier Career
"What does Jun Sima want these pickled ghost slaves to do?" Guo Xie was not busy answering Yun Lang's words, and insisted on asking about the purpose of the ghost slave.
"It's all excellent to be sent to be a dead soldier, do some hard work, and be at the forefront to resist the sharpness of the Hun cavalry when you fight." Yun Lang replied nonchalantly.
Guo Xie laughed and said: "I didn't expect Jun Sima to use ghost slaves like this, and I thought that you were going to rescue these ghost slaves according to the routine of Shanglin Yuan to rescue the savages." ”
Yun Lang shook his head and said, "Basically, I don't have any ill feelings towards all the people of the Great Han Kingdom, whether he is an official or a savage.
Even if they are traitors in the country, I don't think they are very bad about them, thinking that they are just a bunch of people who want to live a whimsical life.
The ghost slaves of Han are different, if they are bold enough to rob the Huns, I think, both the court and the people will call them heroes.
The problem is that what they did was very bad, helping the Huns to kill their own people, which is unforgivable. ”
Guo Xie arched his hand and said: "Here in Junma, we Ming people don't say secret words, whether it is in Chang'an or in Heluo, I, Guo Jie, am a fool!" “
Yun Lang shook his head with a smile and said, "Wrong, you are a real smart person, a smart person who wants to achieve great things." ”
Guo Xie didn't explain, and continued: "At that time, I always thought that the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and if he couldn't be happy with the revenge, he would come to the world for nothing.
Later, one day, I saw the carriage and horse of the prime minister Xue Ze, which was running for half a mile, and the sound of the city gate official had to be passed by four people to reach Xue Ze's ears.
He whispered a word, and the whole long street had to listen with bated breath...... Since then, Guo Xie is not talented, he thinks that his talent is not inferior to Xue Ze, and his fame has spread all over Heluo and Chang'an.
In that case, will I have such a day in the future? For this reason, I did not hesitate to bow my head and be subject to the hands of Dongfang Shuo and his ilk, and I had to endure the humiliation brought by a noble person like Jun Sima.
I even learned from some sources that the military commander intended to make me a true saint.
Hahahaha...... I wanted to break you into pieces, but in a blink of an eye, what I want is in your hands, just to please you, hahaha. ”
Yun Lang said with a smile: "I naturally know that you have the perseverance to practice and taste courage, and I also know that you have the determination to assassinate the king.
So, when I treat you, I never dare to take it lightly.
Don't talk about this, I want a ghost slave, sell it or not? ”
"Sell, why not? With the money, the brothers who follow me can get some compensation even if they die in battle, so why not sell it? ”
Guo Xie replied very quickly.
"Don't you hate me?"
Guo Xie looked at Yun Lang and said: "At least we are equal now, we all have to face the Huns, only when we both return from Baishan Mountain alive, can we continue to hate you, hating you in Baishan Mountain is self-defeating." ”
Yun Lang waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's a dead end to go back to Lin Yuan and hate me, but you just see that I won't be bad for you in the place of Baishan Mountain, so you dare to say these, right?"
To tell you the truth, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a hateful person, to be honest, I don't know what it was for, I just looked at your hateful face! ”
Guo Xie rubbed his beard and smiled: "This face was given by my parents, and I can't change it."
That's it, a ghost slave is a hundred cloud money, I know you can afford it, you can't bargain with me in Baishan Mountain. ”
Yun Lang nodded in approval, a hundred cloud money can buy a fifteen-year-old maid in Chang'an, and only a ghost slave who is hated by gods and ghosts can be bought here.
"Give him a bronze medal and seven bamboo chips!"
Yun Lang left a sentence lightly, and asked the soldiers to escort the group of ghost slaves to Hook Mountain.
"You're using me as a backer...... Guo Xie roared loudly behind him.
Fifty-seven ghost slaves looked no different from ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, with the same wooden faces, the same shabby clothes, and the same cowering demeanor, but many of them wore women's clothes......
"These people are more terrible than demons when they rob!" Xie Ning appeared behind Yun Lang at some point.
"Didn't tell your father?"
"I am now a subordinate of the Captain of the Cavalry, and my father only has the power of moderation over the Lieutenant of the Cavalry, and has no power to interfere with it.
Seriously, Alang, do you really think that Maudun's grave is on the east side of Hook Mountain? ”
Yun Lang nodded and said, "It's very likely, but you have to dig it to find out."
Digging people's graves is not a glorious thing, and it is better to conceal it or conceal it. ”
Xie Ning sneered: "My father was born in the military, so he shouldn't care about this stigma. ”
"It doesn't matter if you tell your father or not, anyway, as long as you make sure that Maudun's grave is here, your father's head work will not be able to get around.
The reason why you are hiding it from your father is not because I am afraid that he will steal the merits, but because I am afraid that he will not believe in the combat strength of my cavalry captain and transfer us away as soon as possible. ”
Xie Ning didn't take Yun Lang's words, so he pointed at those ghost slaves and said, "Give these people to me, and we will be able to dig a cave soon." ”
Yun Lang nodded, Xie Ning did the best thing in this matter, and tied him to the construction site, so he didn't have time to go to his father to report the news.
It is impossible for Xie Ning to completely fall to the captain of the cavalry, that is, it is now in the exploration stage, once there is definite news, Yun Lang believes that it would be strange if Xie Changchuan didn't know.
Huo Qubing went out with fifty cavalry early this morning, I don't know where he went, Yun Lang didn't ask, Cao Xiang didn't say, it seems that Huo Qubing must have instructed Cao Xiang not to tell Yun Lang where he went.
Yun Lang didn't think to ask, but it was about to get dark, and he didn't come back yet, which made people worried.
Cao Xiang saw that Yun Lang was looking at him, and even spilled the tea in his hand in a panic.
"I went to the upper reaches of the Blind River, and said that I would definitely come back before dark."
"What is he doing in the upper reaches of the Blind River?"
"Go and find out what the enemy is doing!"
Yun Lang smiled helplessly and said: "The general has done the work of the scout, it seems that the scout is very unqualified, and the order will be the former army scout Qu Changlang Ruyi will be heavily punished with thirty military sticks!" ”
Cao Xiang spread out his hands and said in embarrassment: "You know that this is not Lang Ruyi's fault. ”
Yun Lang sniffled and said, "I'm a military Sima, and I don't need to explain to you how to deal with a former army scout Qu Chang." ”
"Lang Ruyi went with him to get sick, and he wanted to wait for him to come back."
"Then wait for him to come back."
Yun Lang, who had been busy all day, felt that the bones in his whole body were creaking, and lay on Huo Quai's bed, and said to Cao Xiang weakly: "Sometimes it can't be due to his temperament.
Fighting a war is actually a very boring thing, it depends on who can hold it, and under normal circumstances, it is easier to defend than to attack.
We have not experienced a real war, only rely on fortifications to fight the Huns first, raise courage, and when we all feel that we can kill the Huns without relying on fortifications, it is not too late to fight with the Huns. ”
Yun Lang fell asleep, and when he woke up, the sky was already full of stars, and Huo Qu's illness still hadn't come back.
In the era of the Han Dynasty, there was basically no way to fight at night, and on a dark night without moonlight, no matter how good it was, it was unstable for both men and horses, and a sneak attack was a big joke.
Therefore, Huo Qu's illness did not come back, and Yun Lang could only sit in the city of sorrow, unable to think of a way.
In the open space where the two armies are facing each other, lighting a torch to find someone is self-defeating!
"Get ready, as soon as dawn, I'll set off, and you and Li Dang will guard the camp!"
Hearing the news of the fourth watch from Jin Ji in the army, Yun Lang couldn't sit still anyway, in this broken place, even if there are no enemies, there are wild beasts hidden everywhere, especially wolves and wild dogs.
These beasts have been eating the corpses of the dead in battle, and they have long been accustomed to eating them, and they do not have much fear of people, as long as they are alone, whether they are living or dead, they will eat them as they are.
At this time, he didn't dare to think about Huo Quai's encounter with the Xiongnu, Yun Lang could only try his best to think in the best direction.
When a trace of fish belly white appeared in the sky, Yun Lang took Liu Er and fifty armor soldiers out of the Hook Mountain camp.
He really wanted to take more soldiers out, but unfortunately, according to the military regulations of the Han Dynasty, without the permission of Huo Quai, the main general, he could only command fifty personal soldiers!
