Chapter 13 5 Temporary Chief

Chang Miao, who returned victorious, was very happy.

Of course, this successful raid by the Tiger Guard Battalion was not the whole of the whole campaign, and then the cavalry led by Su Chengdong also succeeded in breaking the 5,000 Goryeo troops who rushed to reinforce them, and then completely destroyed the small village on Pagoda Mountain, so that the purpose of the Goryeo people's trip was completely defeated. This battle greatly encouraged the soldiers under his command, and everyone had a look of confidence and joy on their faces.

Returning to the tent, Chang Miao immediately ordered Su Chengdong and Xue Boren to come, and at the same time specially instructed Xue Boren to bring the man wearing the white tiger skin cloak with him.

After a short time, the two generals stepped into the tent together.

Chang Miao smiled when he saw it: "Today's victory in the first battle has greatly boosted the prestige of our army. ”

Su Xue and the others hurriedly said: "Thank you Lord Duhu for your compliment, this is within the scope of the last general." ”

Chang Miao smiled and waved his hand to let the two sit down. Then he spoke: "Brother Xue, today's battle, this governor has seen it from beginning to end. In my opinion, under Brother Xue's training, the Tiger Guard Battalion has indeed undergone a radical change. However, it seems that there are still slight deficiencies in command and linkage, and I am afraid that it will take time to run in. ”

Xue Boren hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Returning to Lord Duhu, this is indeed the case, and the last general also thinks so, and it will definitely be improved in the future." ”

Then Bento will wait and see. The two of you have made great contributions today, and the Governor has ordered the Lord to write it down, and he will definitely go to the court in the coming day to add two officials to the knighthood. ”

"Thank you, Lord Tsugo."

Chang Miao then asked, "Brother Xue, what is the name of the warrior wearing the white tiger skin cloak under your command, and have you ever brought it?" ”

"Lord Huiduhu, this person's name is Wang Hanxin, and he is waiting outside the tent."

Chang Miao hurriedly said: "Hurry up, please come into the account." ”

Xue Boren ran out as soon as he agreed, and a teenager was brought in when he was young. Chang Miao saw that this young man had a delicate face, his eyes were smart, and he was wearing a white tiger skin cloak behind him, with clear black stripes on the snow-white tiger skin, but the inside of the cloak was a piece of blood, although the whole person was not tall, he looked majestic, and he was very happy in his heart. Then he said: "Are you Wang Hanxin?" ”

Wang Hanxin hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "It's the villain." ”

"How old is this year? How much time have you spent in the military? ”

"Go back to the capital to protect the adult, the villain is fifteen this year, and it has been almost two months since he joined the army."

Chang Miao's eyebrows moved: "Fifteen years old? Only two months into the army? It's impressive. ”

Xue Boren accosted on the side: "Lord Duhu, this kid could only do some superficial kung fu two months ago, but he learned very quickly, and he became the number one master in the Tiger Guard Camp in just two months." ”

Chang Miao was even more surprised when he heard it: "Is there such a thing? That's really a genius, Brother Xue really has eyes like a torch, and he has a good eye for talents. ”

"Your Excellency is serious."

Chang Miao turned his head and pointed to Wang Hanxin's white tiger skin cloak and said, "Your white tiger skin is very rare, where did you come from?" Why is there a blood-colored mark on the inside? ”

Wang Hanxin arched his hand and said: "Go back to the capital to protect the lord, this is the relic of my father." I heard my father tell me that the day before the villain was born, my father caught a white tiger in the mountains, and when my father returned home, the villain had been born, so my father made this cloak with this tiger skin. On that day, the villain's villagers were slaughtered by the Korean soldiers, and the villain was shot in the leg, so he had to wait for them to leave before crawling out of the pile of dead people, wrapped his wounds with this cloak and fled to the north bank of Liaoshui. As a result, the inside of the cloak is dyed red. ”

Chang Miao immediately asked about the incident, Xue Boren explained the matter in detail on the side, and Chang Miao praised Wang Hanxin's forbearance when he heard it. Then he smiled at Wang Hanxin and said: "I see that you are indomitable on the battlefield, very brave, and you also killed the main general of the Goryeo army, which is very remarkable, and should be credited with a great merit for you." ”

Wang Hanxin hugged his fists and said: "Lord Yuduhu, the villain did cut off a lot of heads and came back, but the general's head was smashed by the villain, and he couldn't identify him, so it couldn't be used as a certificate to kill the enemy general." ”

Chang Miao waved his hand and said, "Isn't it okay for the governor to see it?" ”

Wang Han Xinteng raised his head and said: "Lord Qiyu Duhu, of course, you have seen it, but now this head is no longer recognizable, if the words of Lord Duhu alone can be used as a certificate of merit, it is inevitable that in the future some people will say that the villain uses the unrecognizable head to take the lead merit, so it will damage the reputation of Lord Duhu and the fairness of military law, please make a clear decision." ”

Chang Miao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, originally this was also a bit of a joke, just because he really liked this heroic boy. But this young man was able to understand the truth of strict military discipline, which is really unexpected. Chang Miao couldn't help but look left and right at Su Chengdong and Xue Boren, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Chang Miao cleared his throat and held back a smile before he spoke: "You are reasonable, not bad." Then do it, according to your exploits this time, at most you will be promoted to be a captain, but you actually killed the main general of the enemy's army, and it would be too unfair if you were only the commander. The Governor has decided to promote you to the commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion first, and you will take off the head of the next enemy general for me in the next battle, what do you think? ”

Wang Hanxin was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "The rewards and punishments of the Lord are clear, and the villain is naturally willing." With a hundred people, the villain may be able to cut off the heads of a few enemy generals next time to meet the adults. ”

Chang Miao stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this: "Ambition!" Although you kid is boasting about Haikou now, as long as it is realized in the future, it will not be bragging. Now it will soon be winter, once the heavy snow closes the road, it will be difficult for the army to move, just rest and train before the beginning of spring next year, although you are brave now, but the martial arts are not pure enough, make good use of these months to learn martial arts with Brother Xue, this governor looks forward to seeing you make great progress, and the next time you fight, I hope you will use your martial arts to take the head of the enemy general instead of just courage and luck, understand? ”

"The villain understands that luck will not always follow him, and only by practicing excellent strength can victory be ensured! Thank you for cultivating it! ”

On this day, the country of silk gave birth to a fifteen-year-old Baichang. Although there have been precedents before, they are all children of nobles. Wang Hanxin was the first commoner to become a Baichang at the age of fifteen.

Within a few days, Liaodong ushered in the first snow. The goose feathers and snow in the sky were carried by the strong wind, and the sky and earth were turned silver and white. Chang Miao wore a big coat made of bear skin to inspect the Tiger Guard Camp, in the snow, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Camp were still carrying out arduous training, Chang Miao couldn't help but nod slightly, and suddenly saw a big and a small figure in the distance fighting in the snow, Chang Miao, who had excellent eyesight, immediately recognized that it was Xue Boren and Wang Hanxin. The two of them sometimes jumped and fought, and sometimes Xue Boren stopped and loudly pointed out Wang Hanxin's shortcomings, completely devoting himself to it, not caring at all that the snow around him was getting thicker and thicker.

"It seems that Xue Boren has found a good apprentice." Chang Miao looked at this scene and said to himself. At this moment, Chang Miao's mind has turned to think about how to use troops against Goryeo to regain the lost territory after the beginning of spring.

Chang Miao is a rare handsome talent, but he is not omniscient and omnipotent, at this moment, he naturally would not have thought that an earth-shattering change had occurred in the prairie far away in the north, west and west of Liao.
