It was getting late, and in the camp of the Southern Tang Army, the baggage battalion was making rice, and the whole camp seemed to be very busy, with the fragrance of rice wafting in the air (Chapter 50 of the Five Generations of Heroes).

Li Zhenggu's face was a little solemn, just now, Gao Xiansi, the commander of the Shenwu Army, hurriedly came to tell him that there were still two teams of scouts sent out today who had not returned. And these two teams both belong to the subordinates of Zhou Hongzuo, the third commander of the Shenwu Army, among them, there are two generals Yu Hou and four Cheng Bureau.

In the past few days, although there has been no major battle with Wu Yuejun, the fighting between the scouts has been very fierce. The Tianxiong army suffered about thirty casualties, and the Shenwu army also had a dozen. Death and wounding on the battlefield are common, but the soldiers who went out on patrol today are different. Yang Lian is the person who has been instructed by the King of Qi, and Li Zhenggu is the party of the King of Qi, so he naturally has his heart towards Yang Lian. Moreover, Yang Lian made a deep impression on him a few days ago - of course, not only because this person had the same name as the old prince of the previous dynasty. This person is full of vigor and decisiveness, never dragging mud and water, if he is well trained, he should be a general.

Li Zhenggu was ordered to send troops this time, and the main task was to attract the attention of Wu Yueguo and force Wu Yue to transfer his troops to Suzhou in the north, so as to reduce the pressure on the Tang Dynasty in Fujian. Therefore, Li Zhenggu will march slowly, with great fanfare along the way, and make it known to the world.

It's just that His Majesty's order can't be said nonsense, and Li Zhenggu is stuffy in his heart. In addition, Li Zhenggu accepted the entrustment of the King of Qi and planned to train Yang Lian and gain military merits so that he could be used by the King of Qi in the future. Of course, these thoughts, Li Zhenggu would never say, are little secrets that belong to him and King Qi.

However, today Yang Lian went out, in addition to Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others, they never returned, could it be said that they met Wu Yueren, and there was an accident? Thinking of this, Li Zhenggu's face became gloomy.

Frankly speaking, Li Zhenggu can not care about Yang Lian, but he can't not care about King Qi, after all, His Majesty has the idea of making King Qi the emperor's younger brother, if King Qi ascends the throne as emperor in the future, he, as a courtier, will have a hard time if he offends King Qi.

Li Zhenggu's face turned pale, he thought about it, stood up, and said: "This team of soldiers are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty, if they really disappear, I'm afraid it's Wu Yue who is making trouble." Gao Tongjun and Zhu Tongjun, the two immediately sent scouts, no matter what, they must find their traces. ”

Gao Shensi naturally didn't want his subordinates to have an accident, not to mention that he knew the relationship between King Qi and Yang Lian, so he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Obey." ”

Zhu Kuangye was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't show it, a mere general Yu Hou is not worth the trouble at all. In fact, in the final analysis, it was Zhu Kuangye who was dissatisfied with Yang Lian's events a few days ago.

Li Zhenggu said: "The two commanders ...... the army"

Before he finished speaking, a personal soldier hurriedly barged in, gasped, and said, "Dashuai, he, they are back." ”

"What? What's coming back? Li Zhenggu didn't react for a while.

Gao Shensi frowned, and asked in disbelief: "You mean Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao are back?" ”

The soldier wanted to speak, but he ran too quickly and couldn't breathe for a while, so he had to open his mouth wide and nod vigorously.

Gao Xiansi no longer spoke, but walked out, Li Zhenggu also reacted, and hurriedly walked out, Yang Lian finally came back, and his heart was slightly relaxed.

"Hmph." Zhu Kuangye snorted coldly, with a hint of a smile on his face, and slowly walked out, there was a good show to watch.

In the Southern Tang military camp, Yang Lian held a long knife in his hand, step by step, the wound on his shoulder was deep and visible, the wound was big, and the bleeding did not stop, although it was bandaged, it still bled continuously, making the bandages full of blood, which looked shocking.

Gao Xiansi walked out quickly, saw Yang Lian, and said in a lost voice: "You are injured." ”

"Out of the way." Yang Lian gritted his teeth, no matter how much it hurt, he had to endure it, because he was a man.

As soon as Li Zhenggu came over, he was also taken aback by Yang Lian's tragic situation, behind Yang Lian, Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others were all colored, and there was blood in many places on their bodies. A few people were holding each other, limping as they walked, blood pouring down and the ground stained red.

Zhu Kuangye walked out and saw the appearance of everyone, and suddenly felt extremely happy in his heart, but unfortunately, Yang Lian was injured like this, and he was not killed by Wu Yueren, which was really lucky. However, he took a team of soldiers out, and when he came back, it became like this, Li Zhenggu should no longer be able to cover up, right? Zhu Kuangye thought about it, and glanced at Yang Lian again, a little gloating.

Yang Lian reluctantly supported his body with a long knife, saw Li Zhenggu and Gao Xiansi, and said: "The marshal, Gao Tongjun, was ordered to inspect and met Wu Yuejun halfway. ”

Li Zhenggu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Yang Lian was injured, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, come here, quickly find a military doctor to come over and heal everyone." ”

Yang Lian said: "Marshal, there are a total of 20 people in the humble position and Lin General Yu Hou today, six people were killed in the battle, three were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. ”

Zhu Kuangye walked over and asked, "There are twenty people waiting for you, and they all have war horses, how can you fight to the death with Wu Yue and die so many people?" ”

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhu Kuangye, his eyes were a little cold, but he said with a smile: "As a soldier, you naturally move forward bravely, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Zhu Kuangye sneered, stepped forward, and shouted, "Bold." ”

"Zhu Tongjun, what do you mean by this?" Yang Lian raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in a very calm tone.

"This general is the commander of the army, you are just a small general Yu Hou, in front of the commander of the army, how can you be presumptuous?" Zhu Kuangye took advantage of your illness to kill you, and when he saw Yang Lian making a mistake and was busy falling into the well, even if Li Zhenggu wanted to protect him, at least he could take a bad breath first.

"Zhu Tongjun has such a big shelf. You must know that although you are the commander of the army, you are the commander of the Tianxiong army, and although I have a small official position, I am the general of the Shenwu army. I can't fight with you. If you want to control me, wait until you find a way to become the commander of the Shenwu Army! Yang Lian sneered.

"What's more, as a soldier, it is the glory of a soldier to return it as a horse leather shroud. Could it be that Zhu Tongjun thinks this sentence is inappropriate? Yang Lian asked again.

When Gao Xiansi heard this, he glanced at Zhu Kuangye and said: "Yang Lian, you have done a good job this time, as a soldier, you should repay the country with death, how can you be like some people, greedy for life and afraid of death." If everyone is like this, I am afraid that the country will not be a country. ”

Zhu Kuangye's eyes widened, he had also fought on the battlefield for many years, and he didn't know how many heads he had killed. Today, Yang Lian and Zhu Kuangye were ridiculed, and they were immediately angry, and shouted: "As a scout, the first time is to send the information back, if everyone is like Yang Jiangyu Hou, acting recklessly, how can the news be transmitted back?" If there is really important news, wouldn't it be a big mistake! ”

Gao Xiansi snorted, he didn't want to have a verbal dispute with Zhu Kuangye anymore, after all, the two of them were colleagues, and now they were sending troops, and they were Li Zhenggu's right-hand man, so they couldn't make too much trouble.

Yang Lian smiled coldly, walked to the side of the war horse, moved Fan Mengling off the war horse, threw him on the ground, and said, "Dashuai, this person is the staff of Qian Wenfeng, the envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu, Fan Mengling." ”

"Oh?" When Li Zhenggu heard this, he became interested, although the staff was not a very big official, but he had secrets, and the envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu sent him out, there must be some secrets.

Gao Xiansi smiled, his eyes swept over Zhu Kuangye, and when he saw his shocked face, his heart was even happier. After laughing, Gao Shen pondered: "Yang Lian, this time you have made a great contribution, and it is in vain that I cultivated you in the first place." ”

Li Zhenggu turned around Fan Mengling, looked at him like an animal, and said, "Fan Mengling, since you are Qian Wenfeng's staff, you must be very clear about the situation in Suzhou. I think you understand what I want. ”

Fan Mengling turned her head to the side and ignored Li Zhenggu.

Yang Lian smiled slightly and said, "Handsome, this person is very stubborn." If the commander trusts me, give him to me, and I will tell him within three days. ”

Fan Mengling snorted coldly, and also had a lot of hostility towards Yang Lian.

Li Zhenggu nodded and said, "This person was caught by you and can be handed over to you for punishment." ”

"Thank you, Sir." Yang Lian said.

At this time, the military doctor rushed to treat everyone when he heard the news, and Yang Lian asked the military doctor to treat others first, and ignore himself first. Li Zhenggu and Gao Shensi refused, and pushed for a while, and an old military doctor came to treat Yang Lian's injuries.

The blood of the wound had coagulated, and because Yang Lian was bandaged with a coarse cloth, the old military doctor was shocked when he opened the wound, a piece of meat was removed, and Sensen's white bones were exposed, which was very careful. Even though the old army healed many people, they felt a little terrifying.

Removing the coarse cloth, the old military doctor wanted to clean Yang Lian's wounds. Yang Lian said and asked someone to fetch the soju. This pot of soju was brought out by him from Jinling. Gritting his teeth, Yang Lian opened the pot stopper, poured the soju from the wound, and the pain in his heart came, Yang Lian gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"What are you doing? Still not ready to clean the wound? Yang Lian said suddenly. As he spoke, he pulled the wound and couldn't help but gasp.

The old military doctor reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to clean Yang Lian's wounds. A little bit of coarse salt was added to the well water to play a sterilizing role, and when it was cleaned, medicated, and firmly bandaged, the old military doctor felt sweaty, and told Yang Lian again, and then walked out.

Yang Lian's arm is very painful, and he has to wait for the wound to heal before he can be safe, which will take at least a month, but fortunately, he is not a regular hand, and the impact is not so great. Although Yang Lian looked terrible, his body was full of blood, but it was mostly other people's blood, and there was only that shocking wound on his body, coupled with physical exhaustion, so he looked terrible. By the time it was cleaned, it looked much better.

After resting for half an hour, Yang Lian recovered, and he also had spirits. Li Zhenggu sent someone to send a jar of wine and a few dishes of side dishes, which could be regarded as a reward for him. Yang Lian found a subordinate and asked him to invite Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others, and let Shao eat and drink a few more dishes, and the atmosphere was also pleasant, completely forgetting the robe that died in battle. After all, marching and fighting, there are always people to die, sadness is only temporary, and we have to look to the future.

After drinking, all the people were very sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
