The promise made by Han Ruzi to the commander of the Xungui camp was not fully fulfilled, and until the moment before the expulsion, the camp was still in chaos, and many unnamed slaves were busy packing up, looking for something that the master had accidentally left elsewhere.

The sons of the nobles did not care about such trivial matters, and put on their armor and horses early, thinking that this was considered dutiful, and even proud of it.

Han Ruzi's belongings are very few, and after receiving a large number of gifts, he suddenly has several times more, as the central guard in charge of the Qing Guard Battalion, he has his own privilege to transport personal belongings, and he only needs to divide a few ox carts.

The march speed of the army is very slow, looking back and forth, the team is not endless, the first day only out of dozens of miles, and to set up camp, because only one night, those gorgeous big tents can not be used, the children of the noble can only live in ordinary tents, can not help but complain, sigh the difficulty of the march.

Chai Yue came once, but Han Ruzi didn't invite him into the account, but only said, "I'm still thinking about it." ”

Chai Yue's words had been finished, nodded his head, and left disappointed.

After nightfall, Zhang Yanghao came to ask for a meeting, but Han Ruzi deliberately delayed for a while before letting him in.

Zhang Yanghao is disgraced, he has been very sad recently, he took refuge in the Cui family, but the big thing did not succeed, all because the court did not want to pursue it, he escaped a catastrophe, and was beaten by his grandfather after returning home, almost died, and after joining the army, he was even more unlucky, because he was hated by the king of the East China Sea, he had almost no friends, and was bullied by the children of the Chai family many times, and the family did not provide extra money, he was one of the very few scattered generals who lived as hard as ordinary soldiers

All along, Zhang Yanghao tried his best to avoid Han Ruzi, until there was no way to hide, and he took the initiative to sue for peace.

Han Ruzi sat on the bed, holding a book and reading it under the lamp, Zhang Youcai and Loach stood at the door, both looking at Zhang Yanghao's back with disdain.

Zhang Yanghao stood there and didn't dare to squeak, and waited for a while before coughing lightly.

Han Ruzi turned the page and asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Yanghao hurriedly bowed, took out a small package from his arms, and handed it forward, "Tired of taking office, there is no respect for his humble position, a little courtesy......"

Han Ruzi raised his hand, Zhang Youcai came over, took the package from Zhang Yanghao's hand, checked it twice, knew that it was silver, and there was not much, and said in a strange voice: "Zhang Gongzi really understands us, and he has added weight to us, just add it, and don't add a little more." ”

Zhang Yanghao's face was red, and he still borrowed this bit of silver, and he didn't know when he would be able to pay it back.

But after all, he was the grandson of the Marquis of Biyuan, and he disdained to argue with the slave, and whispered embarrassedly: "Tired Marquis, I can ...... with you A few words on your own? ”

Han Ruzi finished reading a page of the book, and finally turned his gaze to Zhang Yanghao, "Is it necessary?" ”

Zhang Yanghao couldn't take care of his son, knelt down in front of the bed, and begged: "Tired Hou, give me another chance." ”

Han Ruzi put down the scroll in his hand, nodded at the two attendants at the door, Zhang Youcai and Loach withdrew, and whispered outside the tent about the unworthy descendants of the Zhang family.

"The Marquis of Biyuan has outstanding military achievements and was once the right-hand man of General Deng Liao and Deng." Han Ruzi said coldly.

Zhang Yanghao was ashamed and embarrassed, and muttered: "I'm sorry for my grandfather......"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yanghao was still kneeling on the ground, raised his head and said, "Tired Hou is going to guard the Broken Iron City?" ”

There are no secrets in the Xungui camp, and even Zhang Yanghao, who has no friends, can hear many rumors.

"I haven't decided yet."

"Don't go, it's a trap."

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, "What do you know?" ”

Tired Hou showed some interest, Zhang Yanghao was happy in his heart, and his voice became more natural, "The Chai family has always wanted to seek revenge against Tired Hou and me, I heard that the Broken Iron City is a lonely city, the court has planned to give up, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the city, and the Tired Hou will die there for ten lives." ”

"Hmm." Han Ruzi picked up the book again, but Zhang Yanghao didn't say any useful information.

Zhang Yanghao was a little anxious, if he couldn't please Tihou, he was afraid that the future would be even more difficult, "It's not just the Chai family, but Cui Teng who wants to take revenge." ”

Han Ruzi glanced at Zhang Yanghao more, "Cui Teng and Chai Yun are on the same page, why should you avenge him?" ”

"These two are having a good time, in fact, they are more affectionate than brothers, if Chai Yun hadn't died, they would have reconciled sooner or later."

"I didn't kill Chai Yun."

"But the tired Hou let go of the Jin family's young lady, did the tired Hou forget, Cui Teng once asked the Jin family for marriage, he is a person who wants to save face, even if he doesn't avenge Chai Yun, he will remember the hatred of taking his wife."

Is Jin Chuiduo really a red face? Han Ruzi smiled and shook his head, "This is all your guess, you can say whatever you want." ”

"No, no, it's not just speculation, Tired Hou remembers Xie Ying, right?"

Of course, Han Ruzi remembered that Xie Ying was one of the companions who entered the Jin family with Chai Yun at that time.

As early as when he was in the capital, Cui Teng beat Xie Ying hard, saying that he was not righteous enough to save Chai Xiaohou. Xie Ying was a blessing in disguise, recuperating at home and not joining the army. There is also a Ding Hui who is more unlucky, and is bullied by Cui Teng's gang every day in the camp. ”

"What about you? Also bullied? ”

Zhang Yanghao lowered his head, "I'm better, I'm not bullied every day, but if Cui Teng knew that I was coming to see Tihou, he would definitely find an excuse to beat me." ”

Han Ruzi didn't sympathize with the person in front of him, "Okay, I know, I'll be careful." ”

Zhang Yanghao said in surprise: "Isn't Tihou worried at all? ”

"I wasn't beaten, I wasn't bullied, so what was there to worry about?"

"This is not a joke, Cui Teng's gang dare to do anything, and the broken iron city is lonely and hangs in the north......"

"If I hadn't been able to protect myself, I wouldn't have lived to this point. Zhang Yanghao, if you make a betrayal, I will treat you as a betrayer, you come to inform, I will treat you as an informant, you are powerless to protect yourself, I will treat you as a weakling, Biyuan Hou cannot always protect you, who you are is up to you to decide. ”

Zhang Yanghao's face was as red as the sunset, he was a few years older than the tired marquis, but at this time he was like a child who had been blamed, he opened his mouth to defend himself, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he solemnly kowtowed, and got up to leave.

Han Ruzi continued to read.

After a while, the King of the East China Sea came in, "What is that bastard doing looking for you?" ”

The person who hates Zhang Yanghao the most is not Han Ruzi or Cui Teng, but the king of the East China Sea who was abandoned in the riverside village, but he will not vent his anger with beating and scolding, and has been waiting for the opportunity.

"He said that Cui Teng wanted to avenge Chai Yun." Han Ruzi said without raising his head.

"Of course Cui Teng wants revenge, he was humiliated by Chai Yun's design, and he was thinking about how to fight back every day, but the result was good, the person died, and his fire naturally had to be sprinkled on others." The King of the East China Sea paused, "Cui Teng has a problem, he has an advantage, he takes his family very seriously, you marry his sister, just by this point, he will not seek revenge on you." ”

"I know."

"You know?"

"Cui Teng hates anyone or not, if he can hide his thoughts, he will not be the second son of the Cui family."

The East Sea King laughed, "Is this an advantage or a disadvantage?" ”

Han Ruzi smiled slightly.

It took four days for Han Ruzi to lead the army back to Mayi City, and the team behind him was still endless.

After the Xungui camp and the Qingwei camp entered the city and settled down, Han Ruzi immediately left the city and went to his own camp.

The camp was built by the river, and there were grasslands on the left and right sides, which could be used to train cavalry archery, and the volunteers recruited by Han Ruzi were all peasants, as well as a small number of Jianghu people, and all military skills had to be learned from scratch.

Chaohua supervised the camp and invited more than a dozen veterans to be the head of the sect, Lin Kunshan also came as a military advisor, and Han Ruzi came to find him.

The soldiers were very happy to see the tired marquis, as a tribal, their treatment was better than that of the ordinary soldiers of Dachu, far better than the common people, which made them very unhappy, and they all hoped to do something for the tired marquis.

Han Ruzi brought all the bribes he had received in the Xungui camp, piled them up in the camp, and distributed them by Chaohua, trying to get everyone's share, and if it was not enough, he would compensate with silver.

This team has not yet taken shape, and Han Ruzi is not in a hurry to use it.

Entering the tent, Lin Kunshan smiled and said, "Where did the tired marquis get so many good things? ”

"It's all given by others, and it's quite comfortable to be generous to others."

"Haha, the tired marquis has great ambitions, this army is following you."

Han Ruzi didn't come to listen to the praise, but to look for advice, no matter how calm he behaved in front of the East China Sea King and others, he was actually hesitant in his heart, and he urgently needed guidance, preferably Yang Feng, but this Northern Army Commander Shi was not in Mayi City, and he hadn't been in contact with the Tired Marquis for a long time, so he had to come to Lin Kunshan.

Those who hope cannot be trusted, but it is still helpful when they are willing to tell the truth.

Han Ruzi told Chai Yue about the strategy proposed, Lin Kunshan almost didn't think about it, and said directly: "Chai Yue is not important, the important person is the general Han Xing." ”

"Han Xing? He didn't seem very interested, and he never tried to persuade me. ”

"Hey, people are old and refined, Han Xing has stood tall in the DPRK for many years, and his status is getting higher and higher, he naturally has his ability, like the hopeful, he also knows the truth of following the trend: let go and let others do it, succeed, as a commander, he always benefits the most, and failure, it has nothing to do with him."

Han Ruzi understood it at all, "You are right, Chai Yue has no official or position in the army, and he has no soldiers or generals under him, but he dares to put forward such a strategy, and he dares to persuade me, it must be supported by the general." ”

Lin Kunshan nodded, "I dare to guarantee that Chai Yue can't actually say what support he has received, but his confidence must come from the general." ”

Han Ruzi thought for a while and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Lin Kunshan smiled and said: "I will only make one move and follow the trend: if the general wants to follow your momentum, you will follow the general's momentum." If the general is not in a hurry, then how many Huns you kill is not considered meritorious, if the general cares about this matter very much, sooner or later it will be revealed, and when the time comes, all the conditions you put forward will be met. ”

Han Ruzi thanked him, finally felt at ease, and returned to the city overnight.

Lin Kunshan, who stayed outside the city, was a little worried, whether the seedling that the Qi Seeker had taken a fancy to him was growing too fast.

(See you in the group at 8 p.m.) (To be continued.) )
