Chapter 852: Brothers Reunited
In the era of cold weapons without radar, satellites and electronic communication equipment, Xue Shao, who was born in modern special forces, particularly believed in the law of behavior of "soldiers are noble and fast". As long as you make a decision and act quickly enough, by the time the enemy notices it, it will be too late to react immediately. Because they simply don't have fast instant communication skills, the battle situation on the battlefield cannot be conveyed to the commander at the first time, and the commander's orders cannot be issued at the first time.
Therefore, by the time the commander of the Turkic coalition army learned that there was an unusually fierce cavalry unit on the periphery of the Yinchuan military camp that suddenly rushed into the fort, Xue Shao had already gathered with Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen, and drank a few large urns of wine.
Seeing Guo Yuanzhen again after a few years, Xue Shao was almost unrecognizable.
Several years of military life in the border pass have brought too many changes to Guo Yuanzhen.
Just like the former son of Lantian, Guo Yuanzhen is also a merry boy. He was very tall, half a head taller than Xue Shao. In the past, he was a typical Tang Dynasty version of Gao handsome and rich, rich in wealth, versatile, informal, bold and generous, humorous and witty, and very likable everywhere, especially women.
But now, Guo Yuanzhen's body has been thick several times, and the muscles in his whole body are rumbling and bulging like inflated air bags. His entire face has changed from the former round beauty goose egg face to an angular and bronze Chinese character face, and he also has some lips and beards and beards. Such a rugged shape combined with his current unique military temperament will definitely make strangers who see him for the first time feel awe, even timid.
Xue Shao couldn't help but sigh, the years are really a pig-killing knife, and Guo Yuanzhen is a good tender version of the handsome guy who has been turned into a brutalist uncle. However, the current version of Guo Yuanzhen is really wild and full of unrestrained masculinity, and mature women and uncles have absolutely no immunity to him.
"The three of us are actually about the same age." Xue Shao smiled at Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen, "But Guo Yuanzhen, you are also too anxious, and now you look like our elders." β
"Haha!" Xue Chuyu smiled like this, and he said, "We members of the Xue clan are all old. I remember my mother once said that my father was still in his early thirties when he was in his fiftiesβreally! β
Guo Yuanzhen touched the black and thick short beard on his chin nonchalantly, and said, "Now that I look like this, I can call myself an old man." Are you okay? β
"Then you come first, I have to wait at least another ten years." Xue Shao laughed, there are really not a few men in the Tang Dynasty who look anxious like Guo Yuanzhen. After the age of thirty-six, there are many people who call themselves old husbands.
At this time, Niu Ben came over with an urn of wine, Guo Yuanzhen immediately found comfort, pointed at Niu Ben and laughed: "Look, there is another one here who is more anxious!" β
Niu Ben subconsciously touched the yellow and messy beard on his face, and smiled, "I started growing a beard when I was twelve years old, and I haven't shaved it since then." There is always heavy snow in the winter in the Western Regions, and my beard is more warm and my face is warmer-the mother-in-law said that I look like a Tibetan cow, and from then on I will be called a big bison! β
Guo Yuanzhen glanced at Mei Rakshasa and the others and laughed, "Then do you often run wildly in the four wilds, and then you have such a big name as Niu Ben?" β
"How do you know?" Niu Ben widened his eyes in surprise.
The crowd burst into laughter.
Strong enemies are waiting for military emergencies, and the happy reunion after a long absence does not last long. After drinking a few bowls of wine with his two good brothers, Xue Shao immediately climbed the wall of the military fort to check the defense.
Although Yinchuan Juntun was set and planned by himself, Xue Shao was here for the first time.
The sturdy Yinchuan military fort in front of me is quite well built. The periphery is well guarded, and the interior is well organized. In addition to the newly opened 5,000 or 6,000 hectares of fertile land for the army, there are also three commercial streets similar to Chang'an West City and residential areas far away from the military camps. The streams, rivers, mountains and forests of this plain and wilderness that existed originally have been well planned and utilized.
After inspecting for a long time, Xue Shao said to Guo Yuanzhen, who was accompanying him: "It seems that Wei Zhiqi has actually done a little practical thing in the past few years. This Yinchuan military fort was built quite well. β
"The most he did was pick up a ready-made. Relying on him, how can he do a? Guo Yuanzhen said angrily, "At the beginning of his tenure, according to your instructions, the Yinchuan Juntun had already started construction under the auspices of Governor Shi Liu Youqiu of Xia for a long time, and the army sent Li Duozuo and Li Xianyuan to cooperate. During this time, Wei was quite honest, probably because he was new to Chadao and had not yet familiarized himself with the doorway. Later, Li Duozuo was transferred to the capital, and Wei Zhiwei began to meddle in the affairs of Yinchuan Juntun. He first withdrew Liu Youqiu and Li Xianyuan, and replaced them with Dugu Zhizhi and Sha Zha Zhongyi. Where can those two big bosses know what kind of wood and earth construction, they were controlled and bought by Wei to help him eradicate dissidents and accumulate wealth. Fortunately, at that time, the construction of Yinchuan Juntun had already entered the end, otherwise where would there be today's scale? β
Xue Shao already knew when he was in the capital that the contradiction between Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen, who were stationed in Fengzhou, and Wei Zhiqi was not ordinarily big. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the truth that once a son of heaven and a courtier, the status of General Xue Guoer in the Shuofang army has always been very high, and they do not buy the account of Wei Zhiwei, a new official. But Wei Zhiwei must also increase his authority and consolidate his position. The contradictions between them are inevitable.
Guo Yuanzhen suddenly asked a question that he was very concerned about, "Young marshal, where is Wei Zhiqi now?" β
Xue Shao deliberately wanted to sell a pass, "What do you think?" β
"I think it's very likely that his head has already gone to the capital. The rest of the body, I don't bother to guess. Guo Yuanzhen said.
Xue Shao smiled, "He is leading troops to feint to attack Lingzhou to provide cover for our army and the rear." β
"Huh?" Guo Yuanzhen was a little stunned, and his expression was obviously saying - this is not your style of doing things!
"Yuan Zhen, in recent years, we have changed a lot." Xue Shao said lightly.
Guo Yuanzhen was silent for a moment and nodded, "Yes, we seem to be aging very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was no longer the time when the freshly dressed angry horses were young and frivolous. β
"Taiping said, this is called maturity and charming." Xue Shao smiled.
Guo Yuanzhen grinned, "Miss her?" β
"You don't want to?"
Then both of them fell silent, and looked into the distance together.
Xue Chuyu was not far from the two of them, and he took care of the horses quite hard. He and the horse and Xue Shao's Weilong were originally compatriots, but now they met, but they were a little too affectionate and got into a fight. There's no way, both of them are the "horse kings" who stand out from the crowd wherever they are, and now that they meet, no one is convinced, and they must fight for a high position, so they fight very fiercely, and Xue Chuyu is a little unable to parry.
"A brute is a brute! A mother's brother will not let go! Xue Chuyu was scolded angrily.
Guo Yuanzhen smiled a little evilly, and said loudly: "Erganzi, you are not right to scold." Sometimes, people are not as good as animals! β
"I brought Fang Tian's painting halberd this time!" Xue Chuyu dragged his mount with great effort and shouted loudly.
Xue Shao smiled, "You're right. People are sometimes really inferior to animals. β
"You've been in the capital for a long time, haven't you?" Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile, "In fact, it's the same everywhere, people fight for a breath, and no one obeys anyone." So they fought back and forth, and in the end only one survived. β
Xue Shao knew that Guo Yuanzhen was hinting that he wanted to kill Wei Bei as soon as possible. After all, the Shuofang army cannot have two commanders at the same time...... But how did he know that in his eyes, Wei Zhiqi was no longer an opponent. His life has been saved only because he still has a little to use. There are a few people who can really be called their "opponents", some of them are far away in the capital, and some are hidden in foreign lands, all of which are extremely tricky.
"Next, how are we going to kill all the Turks?" Guo Yuanzhen asked suddenly.
Xue Shao likes Guo Yuanzhen's style. Among all the buddy friends and brothers in Paoze, Xue Shao's most trusted and concerned about is undoubtedly the clan brother Xue Chu. But if you want to say that you like the most, it is definitely Guo Yuanzhen. With Guo Yuanzhen, no one will have any pressure, and he will be willing to give away his last pair of underwear generously. Even if the day is over, he can continue to show his humorous talents. But if you really want to do the right thing, Guo Yuanzhen can do everything neatly and unambiguously - who doesn't like such a person?
Xue Shao smiled: "The Turks must die. I'm going to kill them in a way you can't imagine. β
"Send a team of beautiful women to dance naked in front of them and make them squirt blood to death?" Guo Yuanzhen said with a grin.
"What a great idea. How about you lead the dance? Xue Shao walked forward with a laugh, "Take me to Red Leaf Street." β
Hongye Street, a whole commercial street named after Yu Hongye, is almost as large as Luoyang's North Market. It can be seen how brilliant the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was in Yinchuan Juntun.
"It's absolutely no problem for me to lead the dance, and the wives and concubines of the enemy generals are all spurting blood to death." Guo Yuanzhen followed with a smile, "What are you doing on Red Leaf Street?" As soon as the war began, all the merchants there had moved away, and the slower ones had been robbed, and now it was a dead end when it was empty. β
"Then it's decided, dance naked and kill the enemy." Xue Shao smiled, "There is a Yongxing Treasury on Hongye Street, do you know?" β
"I will be able to kill all the Turks!" The two chatted about two topics at the same time, and Guo Yuanzhen responded: "Yongxing Treasury, the largest warehouse in Yinchuan, who can not know?" But when Yu Hongye's Chamber of Commerce withdrew, it had already been emptied, and perhaps there was a little bit of chicken and dog left, which was also touched by some thieves who took advantage of the fire to rob it. β
"There are some things that Yu Hongye didn't move, and no one will steal them." Xue Shao's face turned straight, "Take me to find them." β
Guo Yuanzhen was slightly stunned, "I heard that there are still a lot of charcoal, saltpeter and other things hoarded there, and no one has been caring about them - these wastes, this is what you want?" β
Xue Shao smiled slightly, "If these wastes are still there, then your plan to dance naked and kill the enemy may be in vain." β
Guo Yuanzhen suddenly became angry, "Then I'm not as good as a bunch of waste?" β
"No!"
The two laughed as they walked towards Momiji Street. Xue Chuyu called Guo An and others for help, and finally stopped the fight between the two sweaty BMWs, and the group hurriedly followed.
