Wuquan Pass.

The guards of the gate are leaning on the city wall, roasting the late autumn sun, and there is a stubble in the comfort that is gossiping about the wind and snow.

When talking about the excitement, I couldn't help but scratch my head and scratch my heart, and I was just about to meet Xiu Muri to go to the county seat or the Fengyue place in the camp to have a beautiful look, when a gong suddenly warned me from a high place.

Everyone immediately put away their smiling faces, held halberds and guns, set up horses to resist horses, and waited for battle, methodical and lazy.

As the high part of the city wall where the bow and arrow were drawn and the arrow was raised, the command to slow down the horse was released, and more than 100 horsemen gradually approached and galloped to a recognizable distance in the roar of the horses' hooves, and the guards recognized that it was Qin Shen and others who drove dozens of horses back, so they relaxed their vigilance slightly.

Qin Shen led the crowd to stop at the door five zhang away, and rode his horse forward slowly.

"Please also ask Qin Qianren to show the customs defense token." A guard stepped forward and saluted with a fist.

Qin Shen jumped off the horse, the guard cleverly grabbed the horse, and after taking the customs token he took out from his arms and meticulously checking and returning it, he waved his hand back and shouted without looking back: "Withdraw!" Withdrawn! ”

At this point, everyone completely lifted their guards, moved away from the rejection horse, and continued to talk deeply about the unfinished topic with a relaxed face, laughing and laughing, who could know that they had just experienced a maybe dangerous border patrol inspection.

The guard glanced behind him and said with a flattering smile, "The general has had another bumper harvest today." ”

Qin Shen, who was taking the Guan Fang token into his arms, was still immersed in the previous topic, and when he heard this, he just nodded slightly habitually.

"General!" The guard snorted aggrievedly.

"Huh?" Qin Shen woke up in shock, and looked at the other party's pitiful eyes at him, and exclaimed "Hu Da" in surprise, and after looking back and signaling everyone to drive into the city, he turned his head and said with a joking smile: "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!" Say, what's going on this time? ”

All right! Dare you only see me now! Hu Dabao glanced at him with resentment, and then sighed with emotion: "Alas! A few days ago, I asked Cao Dubo to help me ask the general, and at that time, Cao Dubo replied with the general's words, "nobles forget things", at first I didn't understand the meaning, but at this moment, I think the general's performance is that nobles forget things, right? ”

When Qin Shen heard this, he didn't think it was a pestle, but gave birth to a kind taste, and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't bury me, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Hu Da just relied on Qin Shen's usual ease of getting along and made such a gesture, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and when he heard the words, he put away his troublesome posture and twisted: "I...... I just want to ask the general, when exactly will I be transferred to the cavalry camp? ”

"This ......" Qin Shen groaned to avoid his eager gaze, and hesitated in his heart.

Hu Da is actually not big, only sixteen or seventeen years old, just because he is the eldest in the family, he has this name.

And he came to Wuquan to serve in the army because his father was seriously ill and was forced to join the army on his behalf, and in another year, he could end this military service and return to his hometown to pick up the burden of his family.

Therefore, Qin Shen did not mean to forget this matter, but he really did not want to pull the other party into the dangerous patrol cavalry, hoping that the other party could spend the last year in peace, return to his hometown safely to serve his parents and take care of his younger siblings.

However, facing the other party's question again at this moment, Qin Shen was in a dilemma, just as he often comforted himself, everyone has their own choice, everyone has their own fate, and now since the other party intends to work hard in the army, is it right for him to strangle other people's dreams?

After a deep groan, he glanced around and secretly noticed the guards here in a smile and conversation, and looked back and said seriously: "Hu Da, I know that you and others all have the heart to contribute to the country, but whether it is the guard in the Guanzhong, or the patrol in the border area, the act of worrying about the country is no different, the difference is nothing more than the different duties, not to mention, the patrol is more dangerous than the guard......

Although he knew the real difference between the two, Qin Shen didn't want to say it too directly and utilitarianly, looking at Hu Da's blushing face and wanting to refute the momentum, he interrupted the other party and continued: "Besides, the transfer of military personnel is not something I can decide in one word, I still need to ask the lieutenant for a reply to you on this matter, as for you, you can also take advantage of this to think about it again." ”

Yan glanced at him deeply, turned over and rode towards the gate.

After only taking a few steps, Hu Da suddenly shouted from behind him: "General, I, Hu Da has thought about it!" I will definitely enter the riding camp in this life! ”

Qin Shen looked back at each other for a moment, nodded solemnly, shook the reins lightly, and then walked towards the pass.

"Hu Da, tell me quickly, how did you get close to General Qin?" There was an impatient inquiry from behind him.

"Before leaving, my mother spent a day telling me that when I arrived at the barracks, I should go to the peak and love my comrades, so that I would not suffer! It seems that my mother really didn't lie to me. Hu Da's words sounded careless.

In the midst of everyone's laughter, one of them quipped: "Your mother is really good to you!" ”

"Of course! That's my mother, can it be good for me? ”

"Hu Da, in the future, don't forget our brothers who guard the door together."

"How is that possible!" Hu Dashang's immature arm waved heroically, and he said in high spirits: "When I become the marquis, I will take my brothers to play all the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and the flower street wine shop!" ”

"Color!"

“……”

Listening to the heartwarming gag behind him, Qin Shen didn't look back, but smiled from the bottom of his heart, then shook his head again, walked through the deep doorway alone, and gradually disappeared around the corner of the closed door.

The guards were immersed in longing and playfulness, and no one noticed that he was a little lonely and a little dazed at the moment.

Back in his own barracks, not only Cheng Liuzhu and San were present, Qu Han Xue Yu had already finished handing over the horses and sat down safely, and Cao Jin also returned from visiting Arjuna from the county seat.

Seeing him stepping in, Cao Jin immediately shifted his target and couldn't wait to ask, "General, is there a big war?" ”

Qin Shen suddenly stopped when he heard this.

"Haha, I just saw that your steps were vain when you came in, I'm afraid that I was squeezed out by my sister-in-law today......"

With Xue Yu's excitement at Cao Jin's teasing, Qin Shen's brows gradually furrowed, and Fang Cai's good mood because the six people of Fengsui were still intact until now dissipated, and the cold glint in his eyes glanced at Qu Xue and the others, and the killing aura of months was vividly displayed at this moment.

Qu Han shrugged his shoulders freely, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.

“…… Even if there is a big battle, you still have the strength to pick up weapons and fight the enemy......" Xue Yu, who was unaware, did not miss any opportunity to taunt Cao Jin, and continued to chatter there.

It wasn't until he felt a cold chill that stayed on him, that he stopped his words and looked sideways for some reason, and when he looked at Qin Shen's penetrating gaze, he couldn't help but understand why he was angry, and said, "It's all my own people, it's okay to talk about it, right?" ”

Qin Shen retracted his gaze and walked straight to the main seat without saying a word, knelt down, slowly took off the long sword and put it on the case, stared at him and said coldly: "Don't publicize it, so as not to cause panic in the hearts of the people, and get a crime of disturbing the morale of the army in vain." ”

"Yui!" Xue Yu replied cautiously.

Seeing that he finally became depressed from his high spirits, Cao Jin raised his eyebrows slightly in relief, and then turned his head and asked, "So, what Xue Yu said is true?" ”

"It's all speculation." Qin Shen's fingers unintentionally flicked the scabbard, and he replied lightly without raising his head.

Cao Jin had a smile on his face, his eyes flashed with a strange light, as if he saw that the great military exploits were beckoning to him, and he was intoxicated for a moment, and he firmly believed: "I believe in the general's speculation, because since the beginning to the present, the general has never misjudged, hehe, it's okay now......"

"However, all I need is you and the six of us to be safe forever!" Qin Shen interrupted with a slightly rude remark, and then sighed softly helplessly, knowing that this kind of thinking was too unrealistic and seemed willful.

"Brother Qin's heart is in turmoil!" Qu Han stared at him with burning eyes, and then said casually: "If Brother Qin's pursuit is limited to this, Qu is not completely helpless. ”

Qin Shen looked over in surprise when he heard this, and his eyes were full of inquiry.

Qu Han looked at each other calmly, and said bluntly with a relaxed face: "The six of you and I are all recruits, not soldiers, and Brother Cao is only Arjuna who needs to be taken care of and is close at hand, if Brother Qin only wants you and me to be safe, you can abandon your post and leave, and make an appointment to travel the world together, wouldn't it be a great joy in life?" ”

These words actually came out of his mouth, Qin Shen was incredulous and dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, shook his head and denied: "Du Wei has the grace of knowing me, taking care of me, if I abandon him here, I am afraid that I will have a bad conscience forever." ”

Qu Han looked at him and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and spread his hands, and his expression of "isn't this over" was fully revealed.

"Actually......" Xue Yugang had just been taught a lesson, and he looked at Qin Shen with a wince, until he got the look of him to signal to continue, and then said: "In fact, with the strength of the six of me, if I am bent on breaking through the siege, even in the chaos of the army, it is not difficult to retreat with my whole body." ”

Qin Shen shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "You can't help but take it for granted, the battle of ten thousand armies, the people who fight are nothing more than weapons, human momentum, and strategy, the strength of several people is minimal, and when the strength of the people is exhausted, when the horse is killed, at that time, in the face of the swarming Huns, how can you break through?" ”

After saying that, several people fell silent, thinking to themselves.

In terms of weapons, the Han army undoubtedly won three points, and there was no other way to discuss strategy, but this human power, the Huns dared to attack the fortress in a big way, and they must have come from the elite outside the fortress, and tens of thousands of people did not know, only with thousands of men and horses in the pass, and the enemy could not be?

"I said why are you so pessimistic?" Cao Jin's urn voice broke the silence, attracted everyone's attention and then talked eloquently: "This is the enemy's attack and defense, although my old Cao is stupid, but he also knows that attacking the city and capturing the wall, three times the enemy is tantamount to death, five times the enemy can come and go with you and me, not ten times the enemy, only dare to say it easily, I want to Wuquan soldiers and horses nearly 5,000, strong soldiers and horses wait for the enemy, Duwei has guarded Wuquan for nearly ten years, and it is well known that there is a way to plan and dispatch, so what worries do I have at all? You might as well go forward and fight, get the battle achievements in your hands first, and then it's not too late to discuss. ”

With his words reminding, Qin Shen also suddenly felt that he was a little blind and his mood was too pessimistic, so he felt a little relieved in his heart, and at the same time, he teased both truthfully and falsely: "Yo, it turns out that I have tried my best, but no rough person can understand it." ”

Cao Jin scratched his head embarrassedly, "hehe", laughed a few times, patted the horse with a flattering face, and said: "That's the general's concern." ”

Qin Shen smiled dumbly and threw him a "you" look, and said sideways: "Cheng Liu, Zhu San, what do you two think?" ”

"We are all at the command of the general." The two glanced at each other, and Cheng Liu replied.

"Okay." Qin Shen nodded understandingly, pondered for a moment, and turned to everyone: "I'll go to the big tent to hand over the order first, and by the way, I will inform the commander of what he thinks, as for what the captain thinks and plans to do after he learns about it, I will discuss it with you after I come back." ”

As soon as the words fell, before the five of them could say anything, with the sound of paused footsteps outside the house, a soldier knocked on the door and said, "Is Qin Qianren here?" ”

"Yes."

"Thousands of people in Qin, the captain has an order, please go to the big tent to discuss matters."

"No!" Qin Shen stood up and exchanged a suspicious look with the five of them, and an extremely ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
