118, competition
Xu Han looked at the righteousness on the face of the little soldier in front of him, smiled, took out a token from his purse, and threw it far away.
Xiao Bing took the token and looked at it carefully, then stood up straight and gave Xu Han a military salute, "I've seen the little prince." ”
Xu Han smiled slightly, signaling that he didn't have to be polite.
When the soldier saw the salute, he trotted inside to find someone.
Shao Lean, there was a middle-aged scribe wearing armor who was over forty years old and hurriedly came out, his expression was quite surprised, "Little prince, why are you here?" ”
This middle-aged scribe was Xu Jiajun's military advisor, Fan Zhichun.
He had long heard that the old prince had handed over the affairs of the palace to the little prince Xu Han, and said that he would bring someone over to meet with the generals.
After all, after that, Xu Jiajun will let Xu Han take over.
When the generals heard about this, they all felt worried, and they went to inquire about Xu Han's private behavior.
The more I inquired, the sorrow was originally just a spider web, but later, the sorrow became a fishing net.
That little prince, needless to say, the usual rumors, are romantic, and can be described as a famous gentleman in the capital, and he is not liked by the prince, and he has never been involved with the military camp in the past.
Although there is a Jiangnan fraud case and Xu Dingtai's human trafficking case, it adds a lot to her, which makes people believe that she is not so stubborn and has merit.
But in the end, there is a difference between a civilian official investigating a case and a military general in charge of the army.
The boss gives an order to go down, and the other is not good, and it is possible that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops will be wiped out, which is really not child's play.
The prince said a few days ago that he would bring people over, but he never came, which made the soldiers in the camp feel impetuous.
Some even thought about whether to organize a group to go to the palace to meet the old prince, and by the way, also meet this little prince, the future boss.
If it really doesn't work, it is good to dispel the old prince's thoughts, after all, although this is the Xu family's army, the generals in the army also climbed up after a bloody fight.
Unexpectedly, when everyone was anxious, the little prince came to the door, and only brought two entourages, so he came over.
Fan Zhichun looked at Xu Han opposite, wearing a black robe, his hair was tied high on the top of his head, fixed with a hosta, and he was holding a horse in his hand.
He stepped forward and bowed his hand to Xu Han and said with a smile, "Little prince, today is a big competition once every three months in the army, and the winner will represent Xu Jiajun to participate in the martial arts competition held by the Ministry of War this year." ”
Xu Han quietly looked at Fan Zhichun, knowing that this was the military advisor used by his father in the past, so he stopped, saluted him back, and said with a smile,
"That's really a coincidence, I was supposed to come with my father today, but he was called away by His Majesty in the palace, so I came by myself."
"I hope it didn't bother you."
"The military advisor is an elder, so it's good for everyone to be casual. How my father has been, and how will I be. ”
Fan Zhichun naturally heard the news from many colleagues, what kind of romance, high and high, but when they met, I didn't expect Xu Han's attitude to be so good, there was no one here at all, and he still gave himself enough face, not at all like they said, he was a reckless demon king who everyone was afraid to avoid.
His heart was relieved, and he laughed again, really smiling, and affectionately introduced all parts of the military camp to Xu Han.
Xu Hanren turned her face sideways, and while walking, she listened carefully to Fan Zhichun's introduction, she did not compare Xu Jiajun with the former Huo Jiajun.
Every army has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the advantages continue to be maintained, and as for the shortcomings, it is enough to work hard to correct them.
Fan Zhichun, "Today's big competition, so the generals can't come to greet you, I hope the little prince will forgive me, the school field is behind, I don't know if the little prince wants to go over and take a look?" ”
"Or, wait until another day to summon the generals to meet in person?"
"No, let's go."
Xu Han stood up.
"Okay, okay, I'll lead the way."
Xu Jiajun is in the camp of Dongshan, and a large area is vacant for weekday military training, all the way over, Xu Han nodded in his heart, Xu Jun, the father, can be favored by his mother, there is indeed a set.
The army is rigorous, and for her, the little soldiers on duty along the way, although they are very curious, they are all dutiful and have not crossed the line.
There are also those who are practicing before the game, shooting and hitting targets, and the worst can be seven or eight out of ten, and the arrows are all in the bull's-eye.
Loud voices were heard in the distance, cheers of victory, lamentations of defeat, sighs, and all kinds of voices were intertwined.
Xu Han's footsteps stopped in a place to do pre-game practice, a little boy, who looked skinny, was practicing archery, but his level was not very good, or it should be said that it was very bad.
The seven or eight out of ten that I saw in front of me are already outstanding in two out of ten, and these two are not in the bull's-eye, the danger can be shot on the target, and the wind can blow down.
About this young man is very famous, Fan Zhichun also knows it, seeing this, he stepped forward and said softly,
"Erniu, if you have practiced enough arrows, you have to rest, otherwise your arms won't be able to stand it."
Xu Han accompanied him, seeing Fan Zhichun's gentle voice, he was afraid of frightening the young man, and he couldn't help but be surprised, the army generally received adult men, even if there were small soldiers, it was full of eighteen lines and crown salutes.
This little boy is only about fifteen, how could Xu Jiajun be accepted?
Fan Zhichun told the young man named Erniu a few words, and when he saw Xu Han standing aside with a puzzled look, he stepped forward and explained,
"Little prince, this young man is the orphan of a general in the army, he used to live in the clan with his mother, who knew that he was mistreated by the clan, obviously he is eighteen, and he looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen."
"The pensions allocated to the generals who died in battle every year in the camp have also been stripped away by the clan, and the two can only rely on digging wild vegetables and sewing pulp to survive."
"If someone hadn't remembered it some time ago and went to see it, I wouldn't know what kind of life the two of them lived."
"After a certain old prince, he also agreed to let Erniu enlist in the army, and his mother stayed in the camp to help with some logistics work."
For these, Xu Han naturally agrees, and what he can do should be done or done.
An army, on what support? Good generals, and military spirits.
Treating the orphans of the dead soldiers is also a kind of soul, and the rear is worry-free, so that the soldiers can rush in front.
She watched Erniu shoot several arrows, although he didn't shoot, but he was very skillful, but his arm strength was not enough to hold the bow.
She thought for a moment, stepped forward and stood beside Erniu, and whispered a few words in his ear before he shot another arrow.
Originally, Erniu was very frightened by the approach of the living, and he didn't expect to talk to him, he stiffened his hands, obeyed Xu Han's command, adjusted his posture, drew his bow, set up an arrow, and aimed and shot out.
Although the arrow has not yet hit the bull's-eye, it is much better than just now, it is not crooked, and it is close to the bull's-eye......
Er Niu's originally gloomy face suddenly lit up, he turned his head to look at Xu Han, holding a bow and arrow, and bowed slightly,
"Thank you for your advice."
He didn't know Xu Han's official position, but the person who could walk with the military advisor and let the military advisor rush to explain must be a person who was even more senior than the military advisor.
Xu Han rubbed Erniu's head and said, "As long as you practice according to the method I said, you will soon become an archer." However, you are not suitable for such a heavy bow, I will ask Mr. Fan to prepare a small bow and crossbow, and if you have practiced it, I will give it to you. ”
Erniu looked at Fan Zhichun hesitantly, and saw that he smiled and nodded slightly, so he said respectfully, "Thank you, my lord, I will definitely practice hard......"
Xu Han nodded, "Then I'll wait for your performance." ”
The drums sounded on the school grounds, and it should be the beginning of a new round of competition.
Xu Han turned around and walked forward.
didn't go far when he heard someone talking to Erniu behind him.
"Erniu, what else are you practicing with this ghostly look, if you want me to say, don't waste resources, go to the back and help with your mother in the laundry."
When Xu Han heard this, he frowned and paused.
Er Niu did not speak, but raised his bow and set up arrows, preparing to practice in the way Xu Han said.
The person who was talking to Erniu saw that he ignored him, and he was immediately a little embarrassed, and pressed it on Erniu's bowstring to prevent Erniu from shooting arrows.
"Talking to you, are you deaf? Xu Jiajun doesn't collect waste people, you better hurry home and eat milk. ”
"Your father died, and it wasn't the clan that let your father die, I raised your mother and you for more than ten years, but raised a white-eyed wolf......"
It seems that this person who finds fault is still a relative of Erniu, and he should be a child of the same clan.
Fan Zhichun's face was a little unbearable, everything was fine, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by a mouse feces in the end.
He saw Xu Han frowning, obviously very dissatisfied with this scene, and suddenly became angry.
Over there, the person looking for Erniu's stubble was still chattering and saying some ugly things, Xu Han turned around and turned back.
Fan Zhichun hurriedly trotted up and followed, and scolded the one who found fault,
"Yang Zhu, aren't you competing? How did you get here? ”
Seeing that it was Fan Zhichun, Yang Zhu hurriedly adjusted the armor on his body, and said respectfully, "Military Division, I have finished participating, and I have won the first place in archery and horseback riding, and our general said that I can represent the battalion to go to the martial arts competition held by the military department." ”
Xu Han glanced at Yang Zhu, and the other party looked proud.
has won the first place, it seems that the martial arts are good, but this character is not very good.
Fan Zhichun said that the life of the two Niu Niang was very hard, so being able to bring people to the barracks must be a conclusion that was reached after many verifications.
This Yang Zhu, as a junior of the same clan, is so indistinguishable from wrong, and what he says is even more shameful.
Such a person, no matter how powerful he is, he can't use it.
She looked at Fan Zhichun, "Yang Zhu, right?" You don't have to go to the big competition, wait until he knows what he's wrong, and then talk about anything else. ”
This means that he may be expelled from the barracks.
Yang Zhu entered the barracks because of Erniu's father, and he did have two brushes, and he had a high talent for learning, archery, and horseback riding were the best in the camp.
is usually known as the sharpshooter in the Xu family's army, although he does not hold any position, there are also a large number of brothers under his hands, who go in and out, and they are very popular.
Because of his good skills and the protection of talented generals above him, he is actually living a proud life.
This will, he obviously won two first places, and this little white face who came out of nowhere actually said that he would stop his qualifications for the big competition, which is simply unbearable.
Suddenly, his neck was crossed, and he said,
"Why? Obviously, if you get the first place, you can go to the big competition, what kind of person are you, you dare to take care of our Xu Jiajun's affairs. ”
Fan Zhichun was about to say Xu Han's identity, but Xu Han raised his hand to stop him.
"You think it's a great thing to get the first place? Xu Jiajun is also protecting the people of Dawn, and I am just an ordinary person. ”
Yang Zhu is also not afraid of death, and said in a raised voice,
"It's not great to get the first place, so how can it be amazing?" He pointed to Erniu and said, "Is it true that someone like this idiot is powerful?" ”
"I'm the first name, there should be someone better than me in the camp, come out and show me, I'll kowtow to him on the spot and call him dad."
As soon as Yang Zhu's words came out, there was silence around, and countless eyes stayed on Xu Han's body, and even thorned in Erniu's body.
The implicit meaning is self-evident.
Although Fan Zhichun met Xu Han, he also appreciated her gentle temperament and knew that she was not such a wanton person.
But she is going to be the coach in the future, and her skills must be outstanding, otherwise the enemy will call for battle, will she still hide behind and not fight?
On the same day, she picked Jin Wuwei and others, but how did Jin Wuwei compare with Xu Jiajun?
Jin Wuwei is a place where the children of the gentlemen gather, how powerful can it be?
Yes, Fan Zhichun saw that Xu Han stopped him from telling her identity, so he watched from the side like a stream, just right, you can see the skills of this little prince.
If you go to the battlefield at that time, it is better to make a plan.
Xu Han walked towards Yang Zhu.
Yang Zhu stared at the 'man' who looked delicate and like a girl on the other side and walked over slowly, and a layer of vigilance slowly appeared in his eyes.
Xu Han stopped opposite him, looked at him for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Erniu.
Er Niu and Yang Zhu were stunned, and before they could react, Xu Han had already taken the heavy bow from Er Niu's hand, as well as the quiver, raised his hand, took the arrow, and pulled the bow full, the action was extremely fast, and it was done in one go.
Immediately, she aimed at the opposite target and fired several arrows in succession, and the arrows hit the target with a 'aggressive' sound.
Accompanied by this voice, a voice roared, "Five arrows, all shot into the bull's-eye." ”
The soldiers who were practicing on the side stopped one after another, and there was a slight commotion around them.
Yang Zhu was stunned, and he couldn't have imagined that the young man in front of him, who was only wearing ordinary robes, looked weak, and chirped, had such accurate archery skills.
Wei Ting, who was standing behind Xu Han, saw that Yang Zhu was like a nerd, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his heart was dark for a while.
thinks that when he was on Jin Wuwei's school ground, he was also abused by Xu Han in the same way, and he was stunned like this second fool at that time.
Yang Zhu stayed there, thinking of the words he had released just now, and suddenly froze.
Xu Han's gaze swept over the soldiers who had come over from the side, and said,
"There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, I am just an ordinary person, you are soldiers who defend the country, every battle will determine your life and death, if you are so impatient, thinking that the enemy on the opposite side is just a crooked melon and cracked dates, then, sooner or later, you will die on your own arrogance."
Xu Han put the heavy bow back into Er Niu's hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Everyone who loves to be motivated should not be ignored or insulted. ”
"Who was born to draw a bow? Even walking, that's a step-by-step practice. ”
"So, why laugh at your old self."
She paused, she wanted to talk about Erniu's mother and son, but thinking about it, these are also redundant, judging right and wrong, presumably Fan Zhichun and they have already figured it out.
When the words fell, the whole area was silent, making the sound on the other side of the school more and more clear, knocking into the eardrum.
Fan Zhichun stroked the short beard on his chin, the corners of his lips rose, and the smile did not go away for a long time.
After Xu Han finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Yang Zhu immediately ran up and stopped in front of Xu Han, "This ......"
He didn't know what to call Xu Han, so he simply didn't call him, "I, Yang Zhu, will do what I say, and I'll kneel down and call you Dad." ”
As he spoke, he knelt down with his legs together.
Xu Han put his hands behind his back, hooked the corners of his lips, and said lightly, "I don't have a son like you, so I'm exempt." ”
Yang Zhu's face was flushed, and he plucked up the courage to say, "I admit that I lost in archery, and I also ride a horse, do you dare to compete with me?" ”
Xu Han sighed slightly, seeing that Fan Zhichun on the side did not step forward to stop her, she knew that it was not so easy for her to take over the Xu family army steadily.
Fan Zhichun could have stopped it twice, but he didn't.
Well, since that's the case, then she will start conquering from small soldiers.
She took off the cloak on the outside, looked at the clothes on her body, fixed her hair again, and gently raised her chin towards Yang Zhu, "How do you want to compare." ”
Yang Zhu said, "It's faster than riding a horse!" There is a road in the army dedicated to horse racing, but you have to pass through a dense forest, do you dare? ”
It is not uncommon for the military camp to be located in the mountains, and there are dense forests on the side.
Xu Han said slowly, "Just as you said." ”
Yang Zhu said again, "You can't ride your own horse, we will pick each other's horses." ”
Xu Han, "Okay." ”
Less leaning, both of them picked a good horse for each other, Xu Han touched the neck of the horse, the horse is a good horse, Yang Zhu did not do anything.
A special runway for cavalry was opened in the barracks for training.
There are all kinds of obstacles set up in it, although Xu Han is not familiar with the road, but the obstacles for practicing cavalry are all the same, and she has practiced them before.
However, in the end, after many years, he was a little rusty, and he lagged behind Yang Zhu a lot at the beginning.
After about half a cup of tea, the horse came to the bottom of a cliff, and there was a terrible 'boom' sound overhead.
Xu Han looked up and saw that a boulder wrapped in large and small gravel was rolling down the steep mountain wall.
The horse neighed in fright, and its forefeet rose into the air, Xu Han clamped the horse's belly with his legs, quickly turned his wrist, and tightened the reins in his hands, trying to control the startled horse.
She was closer to the falling rocks, and even if she could dodge the boulders, the large and small gravels were enough to break her head.
The only way to escape from being hit by a stone is to follow the frightened horse, and then to escape from the frightened horse.
Time didn't allow her to think too much, not to mention, in front, Yang Zhu had already rushed over, and saw that the boulder was about to press on Yang Zhu's body.
The huge rumbling sound, accompanied by the sound of the shuttle, did not need to look to know that the boulder had landed, the large and small gravel fell like raindrops, the horse was frightened and neighed again, the sound was terrible, and the speed of the wild gallop was faster, Xu Han only felt that the wind was whistling in her ears, making her almost unable to open her eyes.
