(On the first day of the college entrance examination, I wish the students a successful start.) ）

Han Ruzi always carries a box of history books with him, and he will flip through them when he has time, and he will look for them when he has doubts.

In the early days of Taizu Han Fu's business, he also encountered betrayal, and there were many times, but the records in the history books are not detailed, Taizu seems to be very generous, and never has a grudge against the betrayer, some people have betrayed several times, he should still use it, until Taizu set the world, he began to eliminate all those with different aspirations.

Han Ruzi is still far from success, and he wonders what to do in the face of Zhang Yanghao, who is almost certain to betray again? Is it better to get rid of it as soon as possible and prevent it from happening? Or do you want to wait and make the most of it?

Han Ruzi decided to wait, anyway, he didn't have the right to kill people casually now.

Before leading the troops to set off, Han Ruzi released Cui Teng, who had two days left in his "sentence", and he and the king of the East China Sea went to release him together, wanting to talk to Cui Teng about "reasoning".

The prison is a small tent, except for the bed and toilet, there is nothing else, for Cui Teng, this is so bitter that it can't be bitter anymore, but after Han Ruzi and the king of the East China Sea entered the tent, they saw Cui Ergongzi sitting on the bed eating a roast chicken, and there was a pot of wine on the tray in front of him.

Seeing the two of them, Cui Teng was stunned, held up the roast chicken skeleton and said, "That's all there is left." ”

The guards outside the tent were all Han Ruzi's personal subordinates, but the forbidden things still entered the prison, Han Ruzi was a little embarrassed, so he could only pretend not to see it, and said, "You can go out, but there is one condition ......"

Cui Teng threw the roast chicken on the tray, poured it back, and added his fingers with great interest, "Go out?" I don't go out, it's good here, no one botheres me, and in the dead of night, I can concentrate on thinking about my family in the capital: my mother is not in good health, and I hope that my affairs will not reach her ears; Lao Jun has a bad temper, I hope she won't embarrass Xiao Jun's sister because of me......"

The king of the East China Sea stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't pretend, Lao Jun and his aunt always say that the Cui family's children and grandchildren are the least worry-free, you should have gone out to experience it a long time ago, and suffered more, when they heard that you were imprisoned, they will only be grateful to the tired marquis, and maybe they will send some thank-you gifts through Xiaojun's cousin." ”

Cui Teng sat up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Traitor." ”

The King of the East China Sea sat on the edge of the bed and put his arm around Cui Teng's shoulders, "If I am a traitor, I will not follow, I will let you compete with the tired marquis, and wait for him to drag you out and beat the forty boards, and then go to see your jokes." ”

Cui Teng's heart trembled, he looked at the tired marquis suspiciously, and said unconvinced: "He didn't dare to ......"

"You saw it with your own eyes, did he dare to storm the city gates, and dare not beat you? The forty boards are all light, and the most ruthless is the murder flag, which I saw when I was in the capital. ”

Han Ruzi sacrificed the flag in the riverside village at the beginning, but he didn't kill anyone, but after the facts became rumors, he always had to exaggerate a little, Cui Teng was excited, and his arrogance disappeared a little, "It's okay to let me out, you have to let me go home." ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, "No." ”

"Why not?" Cui Teng's anger came up again, "I know what you're doing, isn't it just to use your own family to make others afraid of you?" I've cooperated with you, look at this camp full of noble children, aren't they all honest? They all thought that the Cui family would support you to regain the throne. ”

Another person who came out to receive merit, Han Ruzi still shook his head, "No, and ......"

Cui Teng shook off the King of the East China Sea, jumped to the ground, and said loudly: "Just have fun, don't go too far, without the Cui family, you can't even be a tired marquis for a long time, and you still want to be the emperor again?" Dream on! ”

Cui Teng's mouth was not blocked, and when he talked about rising, he pointed to the king of the East China Sea, "The Cui family doesn't have to praise you, and him, it's really not good, our Cui family will simply be the emperor by themselves......"

The King of the East China Sea kicked Cui Teng's ass and scolded, "Don't want to live anymore? What did my uncle tell you? ”

Cui Teng was excited again, touched his buttocks and whispered: "There are no outsiders ......"

"Aren't you afraid that the wall has ears?"

"Where are the ears? I cut it. Cui Teng grinned and said no longer about the emperor, "Okay, give the tired marquis a face, let's go." ”

"Wait, there's a condition for letting you out." Han Ruzi said.

Cui Teng turned to the King of the East China Sea and asked with a cold face, "Where is the Cui family sorry for him?" Does he have to be so me? ”

"You brought it on yourself." The king of the East China Sea said lazily that he knew Cui Teng's temper too well, so he deliberately frustrated his spirit.

Cui Teng turned to stare at Han Ruzi, "One will design to frame each other, and the other will work together to bully me, okay, you are brothers, I am an outsider." Say, what conditions? ”

"You have to make meritorious service and behead at least one Hun in the Broken Iron City."

"Are you really going?" Cui Teng grimaced.

"Leave early tomorrow morning."

"What if the Huns don't go to the Iron City?"

"That'...... Even if you're lucky. ”

Cui Teng said with a smile: "It is said that the Huns will hide and not fight in winter, otherwise it will be so, before the winter starts, I will bring you a head back, before the winter does not go to war, you still let me go home, next year I will give you two heads, how about it?" ”

Cui Teng was a scoundrel, Han Ruzi couldn't do anything about him for the time being, snorted, turned around and left.

The King of the East China Sea got up and pushed Cui Teng out, "Don't say I didn't remind you: be careful, the tired marquis is now difficult to ride a tiger, and if you are in a hurry, you will really kill." ”

"Who let him ride the tiger?" Cui Teng was not convinced on the surface, and he was a little worried in his heart, "I really can't imagine that my sister will like such a guy, why didn't anyone like me when I was ruthless, and everyone blamed me?" ”

Han Ruzi set off with 4,000 soldiers, and there were many people who came to see him off the night before, because he could not persuade the general Han Xing to change his mind, the generals changed to curry favor with the general Han Ruzi of Zhenbei, with only one purpose, asking him to take care of his relatives and not let them go to the battlefield to take risks.

As before, Han Ruzi accepted all the gifts he received and distributed the gifts to all the officers and soldiers in his army, including the 2,000 people distributed to him by the general.

Eat before dawn, as soon as the sun shows up, the army sets off.

Mayi City is more than 800 miles away from the Broken Iron City, but this is the distance on the map, separated by rugged mountains and desolate Gobi, if it is a rapid march, you can bring more horses and dry food, from the outside of the fortress to detour, regardless of the cost, three or four days can be reached.

The normal march is detoured from the pass, and the itinerary of each day is planned in detail, and the camps, grain and grass are arranged by the counties on the way, although the walk is slow, but it is very steady.

Before coming to Northern Xinjiang from the capital, the itinerary was more urgent, Han Ruzi and his thousand-part trilogy were almost carried forward by the army, and they didn't feel it deeply, and it was only now that they led the army for the first time, and learned a lot along the way.

Like most people, Han Ruzi looked down on the civil servants in the army before, thinking that they couldn't fight, and always found fault with the soldiers, all of them were insidious villains.

After this march, Han Ruzi changed his opinion, in fact, during the march, he spent most of the time with the military officials, working with them on countless details such as estimating time, weather, food and grass, camp, etc. There is no way, there are accidents almost every day, someone is sick, someone's horse dies, a torrential rain delays the trip, and there is a "rebellion" on the way, which needs to be solved by the clerks in the army one by one.

It was the fifth day of the march, more than half of the journey, 4,000 people had just entered the camp, and before they had time to unsaddle and rest, the county lieutenant of the county they passed hurriedly ran to ask for help, saying that there was a group of rebels who were going to attack the county seat tomorrow morning, and the county commander learned the news, but there were no soldiers in his hands to defend the city, just in time for the arrival of the general of Zhenbei, so he sent the county lieutenant to borrow troops.

The master reminded the marquis that without the order of the general, he could not enter any city on the march, and could only garrison troops outside the city, let alone borrow troops from outside, and he had to wait for the dispatch of the general or the local county guard.

The county lieutenant was in a hurry, knelt down and begged for help, and soon after dark, the county commander himself came, swearing to the sky that he was willing to bear all the consequences.

Han Ruzi was already planning to send troops, and Chai Yue quietly suggested to him: continue to march, leave a small number of soldiers, branch the township, and claim to collect grain and grass for the successor army, so as to deter the rebellious people, and then ask the boss for help normally by the county order.

Han Ruzi agreed, and the county commander and county lieutenant had no choice but to accept it, and sent the few poor people in the city to the countryside to bluff, and then waited in fear for the county guard to send troops over.

Early the next morning, Han Ruzi led the army on the road, leaving only a hundred people and a few military officials.

He kept thinking about it, and three days later, the news came that the gang of rebels who were going to attack the county seat heard that the army was coming, and immediately collapsed, and the leader fled, and was captured alive before he left the county.

Han Ruzi felt more and more that Chai Yue was a talent, but he didn't know how much to believe him.

On the ninth day, the 100 soldiers who remained behind came up, and the whole army arrived at Shenxiong Pass on time, still living in the camp outside the city, preparing to cross the city early the next morning.

Here, Han Ruzi ushered in a few acquaintances.

The first is the fat eunuch Cai Xinghai, who has already arrived at Shenxiong Pass as the supervisor of the Northern Army, and has been doing nothing, and was asked by Han Ruzi to his side.

Cai Xinghai used to be a captain in the border army, but he was tortured and entered the palace for falsely reporting his head, but after returning to the frontier, he was not welcomed, and no one thought that he was a soldier, and everyone thought that he was a eunuch who was looking for news everywhere.

Goodbye tired Hou, Cai Xinghai was very excited, and knelt on the ground for a long time before he was willing to get up.

Han Ruzi immediately appointed him as the captain of the Ma Military Academy, and finally had a credible person by his side.

The second acquaintance is Du Chuanyun, he brought a few letters from the capital, he didn't plan to go back, he wanted to follow the tired marquis to the broken iron city, "A good man is ambitious in all directions, I told my grandfather, he is in the capital to retire, I will go to the battlefield to see, interesting, just stay for a while, it's boring to talk about it." ”

So he stayed with the Tired Marquis as a guard, and swore that he would never drink again until the end of the war, "But I also have to ask the Tired Marquis one thing, don't leave me and run around again, it's not easy to protect you, and it's even harder to look at you." ”

Cui Xiaojun wrote a letter, which did not contain much content, hoping that he would be successful and that everything was fine at home.

There are also two letters from the Cui family, Cui Teng's mother thanked the tired marquis for his son's discipline, very polite, without half a complaint, Lao Jun is different, ordered someone to write a letter on his behalf, extremely harshly reprimanded the tired marquis, and ordered him to send Cui Teng back to the capital intact after the end of the war.

The King of the East China Sea also read the letter and said to Han Ruzi: "Congratulations, Lao Jun didn't let you send Cui Teng back immediately, which shows that she still understands a little bit of reason." ”

The arrival of the third acquaintance was unexpected by Han Ruzi, Shi Yangfeng, the commander of the Northern Army, who came to see General Zhenbei on behalf of the Great Sima of the Northern Army. (To be continued.) )
