Chapter 511: It's hard to escape
Guo Yuanzhen, who is giggling, is really to the point this time.
As the general of Yulinwei, first of all, he must be a general who can fight with excellent military skills, and he must enjoy a high reputation in the army, otherwise he will not be able to suppress those generals and old soldiers of the Northern Ya.
In fact, you must be a good confidant of the two saints, there is absolutely no doubt about this!
In the end, candidates can definitely only be produced within the Beiya. Because it is difficult for any airborne general to integrate into the Northern Ya Forbidden Army in a short period of time, and this point happens to be unacceptable to the Second Holy Temple in this extraordinary period at present.
So there are thousands of choices, and the only candidate who meets all the requirements seems to be really only Xue Shao!
Xue Shao actually knew this in his heart. Just when Wu Zetian borrowed wine to tempt, Xue Shao had already thought through it. Wu Zetian, a mature and rational politician, how could he do something frivolous like a drunken gaffe? If it weren't for the repeated comparison of the pros and cons, she would never have made a tentative speech.
Therefore, the vast majority of the generals of the Tang Empire are eager for the position of General Lin Wei of the Right Yu, although Xue Shao is very disgusted, but in fact, most of them are already "in calamity".
When Li Jinxing was buried, Xue Shao sincerely hoped that the old man would be able to kick open the coffin board and jump out of it bravely, announcing in a high-profile manner that he had been resurrected with full blood.
Unfortunately, this can only be a beautiful hypothesis.
After returning from the funeral, Xue Shao couldn't resist Guo Yuanzhen's chattering like a beggar and begging for wine, so he invited him and Xue Chuyu to Princess Taiping's mansion, and set up a big banquet for him to eat with his belly open.
With it, there is also a bull run.
In the last Northern Expedition, Niu Ben was recruited into the army as a mercenary. When the war ended, the guy lost his job. But from then on, he became Li Jinxing's righteous son and retainer, and only followed and served by his side. Now that Niu Ben has died of his father-in-law, Li Jinxing's biological children have returned to Chang'an to take over the family property and house, and he is no longer good to rely there, so he has become a homeless lonely ghost again. Since Xue Shao was entrusted by Li Jinxing, he brought this wild man back, made a nest for him in Princess Taiping's mansion, and settled down temporarily. Anyway, he and Wu Ming still have a master-apprentice friendship, so Xue Shao arranged for him to live in the same courtyard with Wu Ming, and he was counted as Xue Shao's retainers and personal servants.
I haven't seen each other for many days, Xue Shao and his brothers have a lot to talk about, and the banquet has been eating for a long time, and it is dark. At this time, Wu Ming and Yuenu, who had not been seen, came back from outside, and Guo An came with them.
Xue Shao was about to go to them, but it didn't come at the right time. So they were invited to a feast together, and everyone ate and chatted together.
According to Xue Shao's instructions and authorization, Wu Ming brought Guo An and others to Lantian County for resettlement.
There is Xue Shao's property, Yaochi Yulin, as well as his ancestral land. Most of the people brought by Guo An are lonely, otherwise they would not be willing to leave their hometowns and come to Chang'an to make a living. Wu Ming and Guo An complied with their opinions one by one, and if they wanted to farm and buy a house to settle down, Wu Ming arranged for them to rent the Xue family's land, and Yaochi Yulin allocated money to arrange a place to live and a place to live. There were those who didn't want to farm and just make a living, so Wu Ming arranged for them to settle in Yaochi Yulin.
Yaochi Yulin is now the only high-end "bureaucratic club" in the two capitals, and the contacts are all princes, nobles and dignitaries, and the veritable "no white ding". Therefore, the guys who can work here have to go through some rigorous training first, and the treatment after taking up the post is also quite generous and covetous. Even if it is a groom who drives a car, its income is not inferior to the middle-class family in Chang'an.
This is definitely "heaven" for the native soldiers from the remote and bitter cold places.
These two roads were arranged for more than 30 people. Wu Ming is very attentive and in place, he makes everyone happy, convincing and satisfied, and is grateful to Xue Shao. At the same time, these people did not really stay away from Xue Shao, whether they rented the Xue family's land or stayed in Yaochi Yulin to help, they were still Xue Shao's vassals and personal servants.
The rest, excluding Guo An, is exactly twenty people. Wu Ming asked them to stay in Lantian for the time being, waiting for the arrangement. They followed Xue Shao and Guo An all the way to Chang'an, and they didn't want anything else, and came specifically to become "scouts".
They are just like Xue Shao, who just joined the army in his previous life, young and enthusiastic, radical and competitive, they have a strong military plot, and they are as righteous as a mountain. They are willing to be trained by Wu Ming's scouts with Guo An, and aspire to become the unparalleled king of elite soldiers in the world!
"Childe, in order to avoid suspicion, Guo An and the others still have to have a real military status and a clear identity." Wu Ming said, "Otherwise, in the eyes of people with ulterior motives, they will report and expose it, saying that Gongzi is raising private soldiers and plotting against him." ”
"I already made it." Xue Shao said, "The Beiya Forbidden Army has a specially recruited Huotou Army and a miscellaneous army, they are not the official guards of the Beiya, but they also have military registration and military salaries, and at the same time are not subject to too much military discipline, relatively free and not concerned." I could have all 20 of them in name. At the same time, I will also explain to the above, so that no one will make a big fuss about it. As for Guo An, I will find a way to get you back to the Right Guard Office. Because you have political achievements and military achievements, I can still go and fight for your promotion. What do you think? ”
"Young marshal, no need." Guo An said, "If I am an official, I might as well stay in Yanchang and be my county lieutenant." Since I have come to Chang'an, I just want to be with my brothers and will not be separated until I die. Please also make it a success! ”
Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I'll arrange it at my discretion." I will not let you be separated from them! ”
"Young Marshal Xie!"
The brothers gathered, and the wine rose more and more as they drank, and it did not dissipate until late at night. Princess Taiping did not attend such an occasion, she waited alone in the room for a long time and still did not see Xue Shao come back, and secretly ran to the banquet hall to see it out of curiosity, and happened to see Xue Shao standing in the middle of a group of people, holding a large bowl and laughing loudly, and then drank a whole bowl of wine.
Princess Taiping was frightened on the spot, is this drinking or drinking water? I really haven't seen Xue Lang, how he is running and laughing! Why is he so happy with these people?
The next glance, Princess Taiping saw the moon slave come out, and she, like Xue Shao, also held a big bowl, and said "Do it first for respect" and drank a bowl of wine in public, which attracted applause from the audience!
Princess Taiping was shocked again, it turns out that I am really not as good as a moon slave!
"Come on, come on, double stroke!"
Something happened that made Princess Taiping even more stunned, Guo Yuanzhen drank to the point of rising, and actually pulled up Niu Ben to try it with him. Everyone else burst into laughter, saying Guo Yuanzhen, don't be self-conscious, Niu Ben's strength is infinite, and it is Master Wu's high feet and true inheritance, and his martial arts are extraordinary. Don't be ugly!
If this was normal, Guo Yuanzhen would definitely retreat with a smile. But today, relying on the wine, I have to compare with Niu Ben. Niu Ben is a completely stunned person, where can he withstand Guo Yuanzhen's repeated invitations to fight, so he jumped up as soon as he pulled off his clothes, and wanted to compete with Guo Yuanzhen!
Such a scene can be seen every day in the army, and Xue Shao and others are all happy to hear it. Princess Taiping was stunned with fright, and said again and again in her heart: It's so rude! How could the personable Xue Lang be in company with him and be happy to do so?
Guo Yuanzhen and Niu Ben really fought, although they didn't use their blades, but they didn't release water when they were punching. Although Guo Yuanzhen was born as a Jinshi, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and loves it, plus he has fought in battles repeatedly, and he is also a person who has seen blood under his hands, and he has real skills.
However, he is clearly no match for Niu Ben.
Niu Ben seems to be stupid and doesn't know anything, but he seems to have a special talent in martial arts, otherwise Wu Ming would not have taken a fancy to him and specially instructed him. Coupled with his huge body, he was born with divine power, and he also had a single courage, and he never knew what he was afraid of.
Therefore, Xue Shao felt that Niu Ben should change his name when he got into a fight, and he should call it -!
Guo Yuanzhen was miserably put down, and the hall was full of laughter.
"Okay, I'm not as good as others, and I'll punish myself for three bowls!" In front of his brother, Guo Yuanzhen also felt embarrassed, and he got up and drank the bowl, drenching a large piece of his chest.
Princess Taiping seems to be a little unbearable, these people are too barbaric!
But she seemed to be a little reluctant to leave, thinking that these people were a little barbaric, but they also had a sense of uprightness and pleasure. Xue Lang was so unrestrained and casual with them, he must have felt very relaxed and comfortable in his heart. This is not at all like when he was with those princes and ministers in the court, always taking care of his appearance, being careful in every word, and walking on thin ice in everything he did.
"Could this be the reason why Xue Lang is devoted to the military?"
Princess Taiping blinked her big smart eyes, as if she had realized something.
Late at night, the banquet finally dispersed. Xue Shao left all his brothers at home for the night, anyway, Princess Taiping's mansion was extremely large, and there were even more guest rooms. The courtyard where Wu Ming lived alone was enough to accommodate all of them.
After taking a shower, Xue Shao went back to his bedroom. Princess Taiping still didn't sleep, lying on the bed with the light on, waiting for Xue Shao to come back.
Xue Shao drank a little more wine, and smirked when he entered the room.
Princess Taiping deliberately put on a straight face, like the standard model of a princess's temper attack, and said in a loud voice: "Shouldn't you go and sleep with you and the robe brothers?" ”
Xue Shao didn't say a word, and suddenly a hungry tiger jumped on the bed and hugged Princess Taiping and kissed her, and Princess Taiping subconsciously screamed loudly.
As usual, Princess Taiping still slept naked. Xue Shao tried it for a while, and found that Princess Taiping reacted violently and was very eager. So he barely made any more preludes, and savagely "rushed" into it like an invader.
Princess Taiping had never felt such a savage and direct snap. The moment Xue Shao collided, she felt an unprecedented strong stimulation, her neck was raised, her eyes rolled, her lips opened lightly and she groaned, at this moment it seemed that her heart had flown out of the sky!
"Savage! …… Bad apple! …… Let me get pregnant! ”
