After seeing Lin Kunshan, Han Ruzi finally understood what kind of mistake he had made before: just because the person who came up with the idea and was entangled was Chai Yue, he thought that the key to the problem was this person, but he ignored an important fact, Chai Yue had nothing, even if he wanted revenge, he was not afraid, there was only one real key person, and it was always that one.

Only the great general Han Xing can take it away.

Han Ruzi was much more down-to-earth, and after returning to the city, he became more and more perfunctory to Chai Yue, but there was a group of people he couldn't perfunctory, and those noble children had already given generous gifts, and they saw with their own eyes that the tired marquis transported carts of gifts to the tribe camp outside the city, which meant that he had agreed to everyone's request: return to Beijing before winter.

Cui Teng was the first to come to the door again.

There was no need to live in tents in Mayi City, and Han Ruzi had a spacious room, although it was still very simple, it was much more comfortable than a luxury tent in the wind and sand.

Cui Teng really regarded Han Ruzi as his own family, more informal than the King of the East China Sea, pushed the door and entered, picked up the tea on the table and drank it, and then sat opposite, staring at the Zhonghu Army with blank eyes, "When can I leave?" ”

"Where are you going?" Han Ruzi pretended to be confused.

"Go back to the capital."

"You should ask the general about this kind of thing."

"No, I have already inquired and understood, you are the head of the Xungui battalion, whoever leaves and who stays should be reported by you, and then the general decides, if you don't submit the paperwork, the general has nothing to stamp if he wants to release people."

Han Xing may not be good at chasing the Huns, but he is a first-class master who shirks responsibility, Han Ruzi was unconsciously pushed into an embarrassing position, if he submits documents, he will bear the reputation of conniving Xungui, if he doesn't mention it, he will be the culprit who makes everyone unable to go home for the New Year.

Cui Teng propped his elbows on the table, his eyes less than a foot away from Han Ruzi, "Brother-in-law, I treat you as your own family, you won't treat me as an outsider, right?" ”

"Of course not." Han Ruzi leaned back slightly.

"My family helps my family, you help me go back to Beijing, I help you...... Say, what do you want? Cui Teng finally didn't mention the matter of "taking care of his sister".

Han Ruzi was silent.

Cui Teng smiled, stretched out his arm and patted Han Ruzi on the shoulder, sat back in place, and said tacitly: "I heard about it." ”

"What did you hear?"

"In order to feed the thousand-person trilogy, you are about to ruin your family, and the family wrote to me, saying that my sister comes home almost every day to ask for money and things, everyone ...... In short, at least half of your subordinates are raised by the Cui family. ”

Han Ruzi felt a pain in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, "Yes, I didn't expect an army to cost so much." ”

"How much is missing, give a number, and I'll make it up for you." Cui Teng said with a grin, "Actually, you don't need to be polite to me at all, a good family, it seems to be a raw part." Our requirements are not high, go home to see the old man, spend the New Year in peace, the old gentleman is happy, and give his sister more money and things. Besides, with the military order in place, it is a good time to make contributions, and everyone will definitely be able to come back before the beginning of spring. ”

Han Ruzi laughed, "Since you said so...... Okay, wait for me to estimate it, and I'll give you a number in two days. ”

"Don't wait too long, I need to leave some time to pick out gifts for my family."

"Three days at most."

"Also, you report the number, I will find someone to make up the money, and then you will let you go, if someone else sends you money directly, you don't accept it, there are few good people in the Xungui camp, who will harm you if you can't keep it."

"I only trust my own family." Han Ruzi said with a smile.

Cui Teng happily said goodbye, and his impression of his brother-in-law was better.

Han Ruzi was just procrastinating, in the past two days, Chai Yue had come very frequently, at least five times a day, obviously a little uncontrollable, Han Ruzi guessed that within three days, the general Han Xing would inevitably come forward.

But he guessed wrong, Han Xing didn't come forward, even Chai Yue didn't come, a large number of troops have been stationed in all directions, and the Xungui camp has not moved, and it seems that he will stay in Mayi City for the winter.

Most of the nobles' children were satisfied with this, but those who wanted to go home early were even more anxious.

Cui Teng came early in the morning, his face sank like water, he still didn't knock on the door, didn't report, pushed the door and entered, and didn't care that there were slaves present, he stood coldly in front of Han Ruzi, and stretched out the four fingers of his right hand, "It's been four days, brother-in-law, you don't tell me how much money you want, and you don't write to us to ask for leave......"

"Don't worry." Han Ruzi flipped through the table twice and found a document, "It turned out to be quite troublesome to settle accounts, and the department camp hasn't given me the exact number yet, but the leave document has been written, so it's almost time to add a person's name, I have reserved fifty places, is it enough?" ”

Cui Teng immediately smiled, "Enough is enough." Brother-in-law, you have to hurry up, Han Xing's appetite is not small, the previous filial piety doesn't count, if you want him to let him go, you have to do it again. Alas, it is said that the Cui family is powerful, why don't I feel it? It's just so troublesome to go home to visit relatives. No matter who you and the King of the East China Sea are emperors, I won't be so miserable. ”

"You can't talk nonsense." Han Ruzi reminded.

"I know the measure, just the two of us, I dare to say." Cui Teng turned a blind eye to Zhang Youcai and Loach.

Cui Teng complained for a while, and finally said goodbye and left, "Brother-in-law, stop teasing me, I have always had a good impression of you." ”

As soon as Cui Teng left, the loach couldn't help but say, "Is it so difficult to spend the winter in Mayi City?" Life here is ten times better than in a fishing village! ”

"It's more than ten times worse than the Cui family." Zhang Youcai smiled, but he was still a little worried, "Master, you have to be careful, Cui Er Gongzi don't look at the person who looks like a person now, as soon as he starts a fire, it won't be him." Two days ago, I saw Zhang Yanghao's nose and face swollen, and he must have been beaten by Cui Teng. ”

"Why don't you fight back? Cui Teng didn't look very powerful. Loach said angrily that he didn't like Zhang Yanghao, but he couldn't stand Cui Teng's bullying.

"It's not Cui Teng that everyone is afraid of, it's Cui Taifu." Zhang Youcai understands everything, "Cui Taifu led the troops to guard one side, the power of the DPRK and China is not small, a piece of music is handed over, and whoever wants to lose his official position, the court has to agree." ”

Han Ruzi just laughed and was noncommittal.

In the afternoon of the same day, Han Ruzi finally waited for the general Han Xing.

There are only tens of thousands of troops left in Mayi City, and Han Xing takes turns to inspect the battalions, and today it is the turn of the Xungui battalion. No matter how much they wanted to leave the frontier, the sons of the nobles would never show it in public, and they wore bright armor and rode fat and strong horses, lined up in several columns to welcome the general.

The general was satisfied.

After checking the roster in the military tent, the generals and officers retreated with interest, leaving only the two Zhonghu Army and the general, Han Ruzi personally held the teapot, poured tea for Han Xing, and performed the gift of the juniors.

Han Xing looked at Han Ruzi pouring tea and sighed lightly, "It's really aggrieved to let Tihou do this kind of thing." ”

"Why did the general say this? Being able to pour tea for the general here is better than doing nothing in the capital. ”

Han Xing laughed twice, he sat on the main seat, pointed to the stool not far away, and motioned for Han Ruzi to sit down as well. Han Ruzi moved the folding stool and sat opposite the general.

Han Xing held the teacup and turned it slightly, his old face full of tiredness, "As soon as I saw the Taizu Sword, I knew that you sent it." ”

Han Ruzi was stunned, this was more than a year ago, and Han Xing actually mentioned it at this time.

"But meritorious service also depends on timing, and if the timing is not right, merit will turn into a sin."

Han Ruzi still didn't speak, waiting for Han Xing to lead the topic to Broken Iron City.

Han Xing was silent for a while, did not explain what happened last year, and said directly: "I need a little military merit." ”

"The Huns will ...... next year"

"No, no, it must be this year, the 300,000 army is under my control, the court has spent a lot of money, the world is in turmoil, and the result is that there is no battle with the Huns."

"General...... Why didn't you chase Dongdan Yu in the first place? ”

Han Xing shook his head, "You don't know the Huns, they don't have certain rules for fighting, today they say they are retreating, and tomorrow they will find an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they will immediately turn back and attack." Tired of the marquis, the army of Great Chu is not what it used to be, less than 100,000 of the 300,000 soldiers are really under my command, and the northern and southern armies have different intentions, both want to preserve their strength, dare to pursue while they are victorious, and are afraid to approach a strong enemy. In this case, the pursuit of the Huns, within 500 miles, the team will inevitably be scattered, but give the Huns an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

Han Xing sighed, "I'm old, but I'm not old enough to dare to fight, but I don't want to wait for me to go deep alone, but I find that the wings are not protected, and I lose the officers and soldiers of the Chu army in vain." ”

"The general and the court are in a difficult situation." Han Ruzi said perfunctorily.

"The most difficult thing is that others can't see how embarrassed I am, the recitals that scold me in the court have been piled up in the Qinzheng Palace, and the most polite statement is also accusing me of being cowardly and unfit to be a general. I didn't want to be this general, but I can't just go back to Beijing, the infamy is still secondary, and if the imperial court exchanges a reckless commander, I'm afraid it will bring a catastrophe. ”

Han Ruzi thought seriously for a while, "Is there no other way to encircle and annihilate those Huns who remained?" ”

"The Huns were very cautious, divided into dozens of groups, fought small, did not have a clear goal, wanted them to gather, it was too difficult, only the tired marquis came forward...... Maybe. ”

Han Ruzi doesn't believe in Han Xing at all, but believes that Han Xing really needs a plausible victory.

"I don't want the court to change its commander either."

As soon as Han Ruzi's words came out, Han Xing couldn't help but show a hint of joy, "I don't dare to guarantee anything else, looking at the whole court, I dare to reuse the tired people in the army, except for me, I can't find a second person." ”

Han Ruzi felt that the time was almost up, "Okay, maybe you can give it a try, but if the Huns are not fooled, I can't help it." ”

"Of course, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, and no one can complain about being tired because of this kind of thing."

"I have a thousand-man trilogy outside the city......"

"I set aside a year's worth of money and grain to be supported by the imperial court." Han Xing agreed quickly.

"I will take the noble camp with me to defend the city."

Han Ruzi originally thought that the general would bargain with him on this matter, but he didn't expect Han Xing to pat it lightly on the table, "It should be like this, these noble sons should also suffer a little, and maybe they can attract more Huns." ”

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "I'm going to transfer a few people from the northern and southern armies to help." ”

Han Xing finally showed a difficult look, "This ...... I'm afraid my appointment won't have much effect. ”

"If you don't adjust the number of high-ranking officials, there are not many people."

Han Xing's tired face finally showed some energy, "In this case, I think I can do it." There is also the Xungui camp, if you want to let anyone go back to Beijing, just tell me. ”

Han Ruzi smiled, he didn't want to let anyone go back to Beijing, even if he offended a large number of people because of this, he didn't hesitate to do it. (To be continued.) )
