The two of them stood against the wall, looking into the distance, with a wide line of sight, patches of lush forests, large patches of gray fields, undulating and stretching into the distant sky. The soldiers who carried the horses under the city looked condescendingly, and their figures shrank sharply, just like dolls like Lilliputia, squirming back and forth.

The wind is whistling by, the mountains and rivers are vast, solemn and majestic, and there is a sense of insubjugation. The trees swaying in the wind in the distance, the ripples in the moat, and the broken geese outside the sky, they were all in the winter rain, luring Gao Yue and Han Yong, and falling into their own completely different memories.

Gao Yue stroked the mottled city bricks with his hand, and the rough gravel scratched his palm slightly stinging, and there was a solid and heavy feel. He couldn't help but want to shout, father, my son has a place to stand, and my son will never let you down!

I hope that my father is in the spirit of the sky, protect me and bless me, and when my son clears the world and recovers the rivers and mountains, he will be rewarded with wine to tell his father, Hu Chen is gone, and the Central Plains is determined!

Gao Yue was silent for a long time, and said with emotion: "Climb high and look." Everything is in view, and everything is out of reach. Brother Han, there is a long way to go! ”

Han Yong propped his hands on the city wall, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his thoughts were like wild horses, galloping wantonly. A year ago, he was a down-and-out soldier in Shouyang County, who was uncared for, self-pity, depression and despair. I just feel that in this life, where I really come and go, I am confused, and I am just waiting to die.

Now in a year, I have stood at the head of Xiangwu City, looking down on the land of Longxi, and the soldiers and civilians of a county are all in my hands. And to serve as the general of Longxi County, he has to be awarded the high position of Zhonglang General, which is actually a prominent position under one person in Longxi and above ten thousand people.

The life situation here, the taste of it, is like an illusion, when Han Yong tosses and turns at night, he is afraid that it is like a dream, and there will be nothing after waking up.

It's all because of Gao Yue. With his appreciation, his trust, and his value, there is everything now. Han Yong made a vow in his heart, and to spend his whole life, he followed Gao Yue before and after the saddle, and was unswerving from birth to death.

Many years later, Han Yong is a very popular minister, but he is still humble and quiet, not arrogant, upright and resolute. Later history records that at the age of eighty-nine, he died of illness, and the world mourned it. Emperor Taizong posthumously named the king of Xia, called "Wu", and was designated as the first hero of the dynasty, and dropped out of the dynasty to mourn, personally came to the door to worship, held the son and nephew ceremony, and sent the coffin off.

Han Yong's eyes were firm, like a rock, and he said loudly: "The lord should cheer up." No matter how far and difficult the road ahead is, his subordinates will swear to follow the lord to the death, contribute their meager talents, and help the lord clear all obstacles. ”

The sleeves of Gao Yue's robe hunted in the wind. He grabbed Han Yong and said agitatedly, "I know your heart, I know your heart." You and my brothers work together, although the world is big, where is not the place for me to come out! ”

Gao Yue Huo Ran looked back, facing the vast sky, his blood was surging, and he couldn't help but chant aloud word by word.

"Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad! ”

Han Yong's chest rose and fell, his pulse was fast, and he said in surprise: "This kind of writing of the lord is short-sighted and has never been heard of by his subordinates. However, this endowment, the artistic conception is broad, the momentum is majestic, generous but not depressed, tragic and not decadent, the lord recited casually, it is really a genius, a genius! ”

Ci is a kind of poetry that sprouted in the Southern Dynasty and was a new literary style that emerged in the Sui and Tang dynasties. It was not until the Song Dynasty, after a long period of continuous development, that it entered the heyday of words. Han Yong had never heard of it, and it was indeed normal.

This poem, needless to say, is Yue Fei's Shangyun of Man Jianghong. Yue Fei is one of the very few great talents in China from ancient times to the present. Wen Tianxiang once praised him and said, Mr. Yue is Lu Shangye of this dynasty. In today's popular parlance, Yue Fei is a god-level figure.

Although his poems do not survive much, they are all majestic mountains and rivers, sincere and sincere, and every word in the words is filled with the blood in his heart. Reading it for thousands of years still makes people feel moved or stunned.

Han Yong was amazed, but Gao Yue didn't answer, so he walked up the city wall. Gao Yue regained his calm expression and summoned the group of soldiers who were far behind him.

"I went all the way from the city gate and found a lot of problems. On the city gate, after years of wind and sun, there were two big cracks, both of which grew canes, so that a large piece of the wall on the gate bulged. On the city tower, although it has also been repaired, there are still many seriously worn city bricks, between bricks and bricks, no longer fit, and there are uneven horizontal and vertical heights. ”

Gao Yue said as he pointed out several city bricks in serious condition and motioned for everyone to see. With just one break with his hand, he broke off a small piece of masonry and stone in his hand, and the dust fell down the city in a puddle of dust at the fracture.

Han Yong's face became stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is in charge of the repair of the city wall?" ”

A group of soldiers looked at each other, and one of the team leaders stepped forward and said, "Return to General Han." Yes, it is the subordinates who are responsible. ”

Han Yong asked coldly, "What is your position?" What is the last name? ”

The legs of the team leader were already trembling a little, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of foam, and said astringently: "Return to General Han." The subordinate is the leader of the fourth team under the command of Sun Yuan, and his subordinate is surnamed Jia ......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Gao Yue threw the small stone in his hand to the ground fiercely, and said angrily: "I don't care if you are a fake team leader or a real team leader, the city defense is so slack, what else can I expect you to do?" I wanted to engage you in military law, but now in a special period, it is a first offense, and you are allowed to wear the crime and make meritorious service, and the team leader is dismissed, demoted to a sergeant, and go to Sun Long to explain it yourself. ”

Team Master Jia's face was gray, and when he was slumped, he was almost unsteady on his feet, and the soldiers next to him hugged him to prevent him from losing his temper even more.

Gao Yue was furious and walked towards the city tower. After just taking two steps, he turned his head and said sharply to Team Master Jia: "This section of the city wall is still handed over to you for repair." Seven days later, I will come back to see you, and if anything changes at that time, I will return to your original position. If you are still so sloppy and perfunctory, I will definitely take the head of the head. ”

After that, he never looked back, took Han Yong, and went downstairs.

kept walking, Gao Yue's wound had not completely healed, and there was a faint pain at this time. The two went straight back to the mansion. When he arrived at the yamen, Gao Yue called the herald to inform all the officers above the captain in the city, as well as all the Cao officials, to come to the government to discuss the matter.

Gao Yue sat down in the lobby, thinking about the affairs of the council, picking the most important places, and going through it all over again. These things have been briefly explained and communicated with Han Yong and other henchmen a few days ago. Feng Liang stood sideways beside him, and Gao Yue motioned for Han Yong to sit down first on the right side.

A moment later, there was a conversation outside, and it came from afar. It was brought to the door of the government and stopped abruptly. Suddenly, a group of civil and military officials entered with solemn voices.

"Subordinates, see Ming Mansion!"

"Subordinates meet the general!"

After the civil and military officials finished singing the promise, they stood in shifts on both sides, waiting for Gao Yue's instructions. There are bold ones, and they secretly raised their eyes to look, only to see Gao Yue's face sinking like water, and they didn't know whether they were happy or angry.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Gao Yue sat on the hall, quickly glanced at the people in the hall, and said in a loud voice, "The court angels and the palace envoys have all left. Next, it is I, Longxi, who began to deal with government affairs by myself. It is broadly divided into two places. ”

The officials below all pricked up their ears and listened attentively. Many people have adapted to Gao Yue's vigorous and straightforward style, without any nonsense, just one, two, three and a few important things, concise and fast.

"One is the interior. This official was appointed in the name of Longxi Taishou, General Yingyang, and Guanwai Marquis. The appointments are as follows. ”

In Gao Yue's hand, I don't know when there was an extra piece of paper, and everyone's hearts were suddenly tied to that thin paper.

"Ordered Li Hu to be the lieutenant of the middle base and the county of Shouyang County. He became the captain of the Yue cavalry, Sun Long was the captain of the Zan Military Academy, Li Bao was the captain of the city gate, Peng Jun was the captain of the strong crossbow, and Gu Siduo was the captain of the fold chong. These six men, each of whom was the lord of the building, commanded over five hundred. The team leader will appoint him by himself, and report to me after three days. In addition, Peng Jun and He Cheng were transferred to Shouyang County as Li Hu's deputy. The number of troops under his command is free to recruit in Shouyang. ”

Under the hall, except for Li Hu in Shouyang, the other five people are all there. They stood up together, bowed and thanked the general. Li Bao was overjoyed in his heart, he always thought that Gao Yue was unwilling to reuse him, and he was a little worried in his heart, and at this time, he was very proud and excited to see that he was finally in a high position, and secretly said that Gao Yue really lived up to the old man.

Sun Long was reassured. He is a veteran who observes words and feelings, and when he heard that he is ranked third, he knows that Gao Yue Bacheng values himself more, and his future is safe for a while. He is also secretly thinking in his heart, abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, which is really a good thing.

"Ordered Cao Mo to be the commander of Shouyang County and Tian Cao of Longxi County. In charge of the size of the first yang. Zhu Rong is the first county meritorious Cao. Miao Lan is the chief secretary of Longxi County, and Wang Kai is the governor of Longxi County......"

He read a list of names, from old county officials to recently promoted, and so on, and in a matter of moments, he finished reading them.

The people came forward to bow, bowed, and then returned to their original positions and stood, joys and sorrows, and different thoughts.

Gao Yue whispered to Feng Liang, Feng Liang nodded, and shouted outside: "Please come in." ”

Everyone was inexplicable, but they saw the two of them walking in from outside the hall, and when they looked at it, it was the former Taishou Ding Xuan and the former county general Wu Tuzhen.
