Because of Pei Xingjian's death, the morale of the Western Expedition army was once severely frustrated. At that time, the 200,000 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army were dissatisfied with passion and desire, hoping to inherit Pei Gong's will to carry out the Western Expedition to the end, but they were unexpectedly forced to stop by a holy order of the imperial court, and then they were pulled to Luoyang.

At that time, the morale of the Western Expeditionary Army had plummeted, and the morale of the army had been weakened, and it was even on the verge of mutiny. Although Xue Shao and the Kudi clan joined forces to persuade the generals who were eager to fight, it did not mean that the hearts of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army could really be calm.

After arriving in Luoyang, there have been many fights and brawls, picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and even disturbing the people and sabotage, and even several small mutinies. The imperial court adopted an iron-blooded policy to suppress it, and executed more than 40 people in the army. Later, the salary of the soldiers was increased, which slightly suppressed the resentment of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the frequency of the soldiers' troubles decreased.

When Xue Shao was still guarding the tomb of Duke Pei in the mountains, he had already discovered these details. He knew in his heart that it was not Li Duozuo who led the troops that was incompetent, but the resentment and strong desire to fight in the hearts of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army, which were always difficult to quell. Even if the imperial court uses iron-blooded and gentle means, it is only an expedient measure to stop the boiling, and it is impossible to fundamentally solve the problem.

Although Xue Shao didn't spend much time with the Western Expeditionary Army, he knew this army too well. Because every soldier in the Western Expeditionary Army has the same ambition and common wish with Xue Shao, and once had a common father!

……

At dusk, in the area of the palace guard yamen of the 12th guard in the south of the Luoyang Imperial City, the generals walked out of the official office to prepare to leave their posts and go home, or meet in twos and threes to go to the north city to drink a cup of flower wine to kill the punishment. Only the yamen of the right guard was lifeless, and there was not even a figure walking around.

The officers and generals of the other guards were accustomed to seeing it, and most of them laughed and walked away. Because they all know that the Western Expeditionary Army was pulled to Luoyang, except for Li Duozuo, who commanded the overall situation in the Luoshui camp, and Xue Chuyu, who was in charge of training, the vast majority of the remaining officers and generals of the right guard were nested in the official office of the Yamen every day and did not even go out of the door. They never participated in any officialdom social activities, and they did not even go to the Luoshui camp to lead troops and drill. Most of the time, they slept in the dark, and then they closed the door of the official office to drink alcohol, gamble on dice, and occasionally get into two fights with their own people.

These things are intolerable to a strictly disciplined army. But now, as long as the right guard does not give birth to such a mess as a "mutiny", even the Imperial Observatory and the prime ministers will turn a blind eye to such "trivial matters".

As a result, the right guard yamen became more and more lifeless day by day, but the miasma in the various official offices became more and more dark day by day. The officials of the right guard are a group of walking corpses who eat empty salaries and have a very short temper, and the yamen of the right guard is a puddle of mud piled together, which is moldy and stinky every day - this is almost an open secret in the twelve guards of the Southern Ya and even the entire Tang Dynasty.

Xue Shao was wearing a Huadian embroidered suit, carrying a Taiyi imperial sword on his waist, Wu Ming leading a horse on the left, and Niu Ben carrying a large box on the right. A group of three people walked into Nanya calmly without hurrying or slow.

The twelve guards in the past didn't care at first, but later someone recognized Xue Shao with sharp eyes, and immediately showed a look of shock, and discussed it privately-

"Why is he here?"

"It's strange, since Pei Gong died, he has disappeared, how could he suddenly appear today?"

"Could it be that you're here for the right guard?"

"Why haven't we heard the slightest bit of wind?"

In the midst of a stunned gaze and a low voice, Xue Shao walked to the door of the right guard's yamen with his head held high. Looking up, he saw a large yellow unicorn military flag lazily lying on the flagpole, just like the weather in the right guard yamen at this moment.

The head of the twelve guards and the right guard, the armor and banner are all yellow as the natural color, and the Rui beast unicorn is the military flag totem.

At this moment, there was not even a sentry in front of the yamen. Xue Shao glanced inside the yamen, and saw only two iron unicorns with gold paint and angry eyes on the inside of the public hall, but there was no one in sight.

"Childe, it seems that the people of the right guard didn't know that you would take office." Wu Ming said.

"Except for the Second Saint and Princess Taiping and others, I'm afraid no one knows." Xue Shao said lightly, raised his feet and stepped over a high threshold, and stepped into the yamen public hall of the right guard.

At this time, the door of an official office was suddenly slammed open, and two shirtless men rushed out of it pushing each other, scolding while pushing -

"Fuck you, you dare to gamble? No wonder you've been winning lately! ”

"Fart! If you lose a gamble, you have to gamble like this, who can tolerate you? ”

"If you can't tolerate it, you will watch the fight!"

"I'll beat you up a gambling ruffian!!"

The two completely ignored Xue Shao and the others, and really fought with their fists and feet, and soon fell to the ground and knocked over a table and chair.

Xue Shao fixed his eyes and looked at it, okay, it was Dugu Yizhi and Sha Zha Zhongyi, who had served for the second general of Hum Ha under the command of Pei Gong. The two charged into battle and won the three armies, often inseparable as brothers. Now, because of gambling, the fight has begun.

Xue Shao remained silent, walked slowly with his hands behind his back to bypass the two fighting barbarians, walked to the door of the official office that had just opened the door, and glanced inside.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Dozens of people were densely packed into this official office. They completely ignored the two people who were fighting outside, and still nested inside to drink and gamble together. Because of the hot weather, most of them were bare-chested, and some were even bare-chested.

There was a strong smell of wine and sweat, which was disgusting.

Xue Shao stood at the door of the official office for about three minutes, and no one paid any attention to him. There was a lot of smoke in the room, and everyone except the two people who were fighting was concentrating on the drinking table or the gambling game.

The ox ran out of breath and slammed the large box on his shoulder to the ground with a deafening bang. This box was made of iron and made of iron, very strong and heavy, and it contained Xue Shao's armor and some change of clothes and books.

It was only at this time that people inside and outside the official office noticed Xue Shao.

The audience suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's movements froze together, and more than half of them widened their eyes and opened their mouths in astonishment and panic.

Dugu Yizhi and Sha Zha Zhongyi, who were rolling on the ground and fighting lively, were closest to Xue Shao, and the two hurriedly crawled in front of Xue Shao, looking him up and down incredibly, and the two pairs of eyes were close to each other like searchlights, sweeping back and forth on Xue Shao's face.

"What do you see, don't you know?" Xue Shao said lightly.

"Recognize, recognize! I know you so well! Dugu Yizhi's face was ecstatic, and his mouth stammered.

Sha Zha Zhongyi was at a loss, hurriedly dragged a general's chair from the side and carefully placed it behind Xue Shao, and quickly pulled a military uniform hanging on the wall to wipe the chair clean, before stammering: "Young, young marshal, big coming, ...... You may be seated! ”

The people in the government office are like a group of people who have lost their souls, and they still haven't fully recovered at this time. However, they had already thrown away the wine bowls and gambling equipment in their hands, and approached the door full of curiosity and trepidation.

Because of Pei Xingjian's departure, the Western Expedition was forced to stop, and when they came to Luoyang, there were so many civil strife and internal waves, and the people of the Right Guard were disappointed, angry and then confused, and then they began to numb themselves with gambling, alcoholism, brawls, depravity, and chaos.

Xue Shao knew that all these appearances were because they had lost hope, and the blood and murderous aura in their hearts had nowhere to put it!

But at this moment, Xue Shao saw the group of men walking towards him in front of him, whether they were drunk or gambled, everyone's eyes seemed to be slowly burning.

Perhaps, it's like the blood in their hearts!

In front of everyone's eyes, Xue Shao untied the Taiyi knife on his waist, pointed the tip of the scabbard against the floor, pressed the handle of the knife with his palm, and sat down on the general's chair with a swagger.

"Brothers, you're in a good mood!"

This is the first opening sentence that Xue Shao said after he took office as the general of the Right Guard.

As soon as the sound fell, the group of men in front of them who had lost their souls seemed to have all returned to their souls collectively at the same moment. They didn't say a word, but they began to fast, desperately put on clothes and armor, and clean up the official office.

In a moment, the world changed in the official office where gambling and drinking were concentrated.

The windows were bright and spotless, and all the generals were neatly dressed and in good spirits, standing in front of Xue Shao in a neat line.

By this time, Xue Shao had not yet announced his appointment as a general.

Xue Shao smiled.

Seeing that the right guard yamen was rotten like this, Xue Shao should have been angry. But now, he felt relieved.

They were once lost.

But now, they're all back!

Xue Shao stood up, pressed his hands on the tip of the handle of the Taiyi Imperial Sword, and said loudly with a very arrogant and even a little villainous ambition: "What about the general's official office?!" ”

The officers and generals of the right guard were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.

They laughed, they looked up to the sky, they laughed uncontrollably.

Dugu Yizhi and Sha Zha Zhongyi, who had just fists and feet, laughed the most, and the two stood side by side again, like twin brothers.

"A bunch of stunned!" Niu Ben yelled in annoyance, and carried the big box again, "The general asked you, where is his old man's official office?!" ”

"Long live the General!!

The men in the right guard really screamed like crazy.

Xue Shao almost fell to the ground, "If you want to kill Lao Tzu, just shout!" ”

"No matter! Carry the general into the official office!! ”

"I'm also dry to eat military sticks!"

"Brothers, go up !!"

The officers and generals of the right guard rushed towards Xue Shao like a charge, and pressed Xue Shao to sit on the chair very rudely, and then lifted him up with a chair, and rushed to the innermost room of the right guard's yamen with a loud shout.

Niu Ben was dumbfounded, "Why do these people seem to be crazy?" ”

Wu Ming smiled indifferently, "They once lost a hope. But now, hope is back in front of their eyes. ”

"Master, what are you talking about?" Niu Ben wheeled with a pair of huge eyes like copper bells, full of confusion.

Wu Ming smiled, "It's like, you once lost one of the most precious things." Now, it has been lost and regained. How do you feel? ”

Niu Ben blinked, "Master, then you say, can my stepfather come back to life?" ”

"I can't." Wu Ming patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then nodded at Xue Shao's group, "But you already have something else, something else that is equally valuable!" ”.
