Huainan in mid-July is already very humid and muggy, but it is a favorite of mosquitoes, and they are even more rampant in the grass at night.

Shang Buqi lay on the ground tightly, his brows trembled slightly, and the itching from all over his body and the buzzing of mosquitoes in his ears made him a tough man very unbearable, and his mood was a little impetuous, but he didn't dare to make the slightest movement.

Looking at the figure in front of him who was clinging to the ground and did not move, seemed to be unaware of the raging mosquitoes, and there were some thin and thin figures, he was still ashamed in his heart.

Since childhood, he has not given up and has aspired to become a brave, strong, and excellent soldier. During his three years in Xuyi City, he always thought he was the best soldier. But since he met the young man in front of him, he didn't give up and realized that he was very wrong, and how much he lacked from a good soldier.

Although the young man has a noble status and looks pampered, he is a very good soldier.

I still remember clearly that on that day, together with ten big men, I was defeated in the hands of the young man without even taking ten moves. Although the boy looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a childish face and a beautiful girl, the majestic and murderous aura that he burst out in the battle, and his eyes that were so cold that they could freeze people in the battle, made him shudder. He was very curious, and even more shocked, that huge murderous aura needed to be accumulated after many brutal wars and killings.

It was a young man who made himself understand the duties of a soldier, his unique and novel training methods, his clear rewards and punishments for non-commissioned soldiers, and his decisive style of doing things, all of which made him admire. Outside Shiliang City, he was only one person, and with a roar, he could scare 20,000 Chen * troops back, capture Xiao Maha alive, and finally surrender for him. Even the long-standing King Baling admired him.

In a month, the famous Lanling King Gao Changgong was defeated at the hands of the young man, and the immersive Shang Buqi knew better how the strange formation of the young man, and the seemingly boring training played a huge role in the battle.

He often sighed that God had let himself meet the happy, the person who changed his fate. In three months, Happy explained to him what it means to be a qualified and excellent soldier and how to become a qualified and excellent soldier.

Thinking of this, Shang Buqi's originally somewhat impetuous mind gradually calmed down, forgetting the itching coming from his body, shielding himself from the noisy noise of mosquitoes, his eyes gradually sharpened and firmed, and he stared closely at the Chen * army camp a hundred meters away.

Originally motionless and happy to lie there, he suddenly looked back at him, smiling as always, with a smile in his eyes, looking at Shang Buqi nodded lightly and then turned around.

This is appreciated. A wave of heat poured out from the bottom of his heart, and in an instant, the blood in his body gradually burned and boiled, and his whole body was full of strength, and the bites of mosquitoes could no longer interfere with him.

When the morning star rose from the east, the happy body moved slightly, and said softly, "Withdraw!" ”

Before he gave up and didn't make a sound, the muscles of his body tensed instantly, and he cautiously turned around, crawling, and moved quickly into the distance like a snake.

After glancing at Chen's army camp again, he stopped staying, crawling forward skillfully and agilely, and soon caught up with him.

The two of them held their breath and sneaked five hundred meters before they got up from the ground, without saying a word, they made a gesture happily, and the two quickly lifted their bodies, stepped on dexterous steps, and quickly ran into the distance.

"Who?"

The happy monk did not give up and ran out of twenty miles, and stopped in front of a wood, and the two were just about to enter, when they heard a vigilance, a low and cold voice came, and then they heard a loud noise, more than a dozen men in black tight clothes, rushed out of the woods, quickly surrounded the two, and looked at the happy two with cold eyes. The crossbow arrows in their hands had already been wound, and the arrows that shrouded the two of them with a cold and cold light enveloped the two of them, and the strong murderous aura made the hairs on their backs stand on end.

"It's me." Happy and faint.

"General." The man opposite Xing Xing had a happy face, shouted, and waved his hand, and all the black-clothed people put away the crossbow arrows in their hands and stood upright.

Happily hummed and praised: "Zhishen, yes, the reaction is quite fast." But I think you should think about it again, follow your father to learn the craft, the battlefield is very dangerous. ”

"No, General, those are just tricks. Male husband, you should be shrouded in horse leather and fight on the battlefield, don't persuade me anymore! "The man was about twenty years old, and although his face was ordinary, he had a resolute face, and his eyes were full of scorching light, and he was very resolute and resolute.

happily and solemnly said: "Zhishen, how many times have I told you, those are science, not miracle skills." Although craftsmen like your father have a low status and are looked down upon by scholars, it is precisely because of them that our lives will be comfortable and society will progress. In my eyes, they are a hundred times stronger than those pretentious Confucian scholars, who only know how to eat fasting and recite Buddha, and fool the so-called enlightened monks, and they are people we should admire and respect. ”

"No, I hate the smell of ink lines and shavings, even if I have the ability of Master Luban, what if I am not a craftsman of status? The reason why Xiaolian followed others, but I can't do anything about it, isn't it because I come from a humble background and have no power or power? I want to follow the general to fight on the battlefield, create meritorious deeds, and glorify my ancestors, which is also what my father wants. The young man shook his head stubbornly.

Happy shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that your talent is amazing, you will understand it later." Since you insist on this, I won't say more, but you have to remember that your father only has one son, and my soldier is only one named Lu Zhishen. He patted the young man on the shoulder vigorously and walked into the woods.

Lu Zhishen watched happily walk into the woods with a touched face, and his agitated mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

Three months ago, he was still a tired idle unfilial son, lingering in gambling halls and villages, degrading the streets like a walking corpse, which made Lu Ping heartbroken. Three months later, he became a squad leader in Xuyi's most elite cavalry brigade.

Since watching his wife being robbed and being powerless, Lu Zhishen has felt that his life has lost color. He hated the official who was a vegetarian eater, he hated Lu Ping, he didn't give him a glorious background, he hated himself even more, he was weak and incompetent, he couldn't even protect his own woman, he hated everything in the world. Since then, his world has lost its lustre, and he really doesn't know what to do except gamble, drink, and visit the kiln.

On that day, the eighth master, who was rampant in the entire Xuyi County, was defeated by happiness so easily, and he walked away in disgrace, and he was also sent to the barracks. At that time, Lu Zhishen thought that it was hell, and he was happy to be a complete devil, he was even more brutal and terrible than Qin Babaye, the minion of the Xuyi County Order.

Standing in a military posture against the sun, in the eyes of Lu Zhishen, who arrived for the first time, it was not only torture, it was simply inhuman torture. He was very "stubborn" in violating the military order, and he was unceremonious not to give up, and let him have dinner with the dog that day. For several days, Lu Zhishen tragically ate with the dog. At that time, he hated and rejoiced, and suffered unparalleled torture, both physically and mentally.

A few days later, the Xuyi County Order fell, and the arrogant Qin Baye was beheaded. When he learned the news, Lu Zhishen cried, and the anger and humiliation that had been suppressed in his heart for many years were all vented. In the past, the county order was the one who helped Neishi's son rob his wife, and now the happy father and son investigated the county order, which is equivalent to helping him take revenge, and he is very grateful to the happy father and son in his heart.

There is another very important reason why Lu Zhishen fell into Si, which is the stimulation of his wife. Once Lu Zhishen met the woman on the street, he excitedly went to recognize him, but he didn't want the woman to be very satisfied with his current life, and even said that he should have met the son of Neishi earlier.

In order not to compete with the dog for food, Lu Zhishen gave in and began to participate in the training seriously. Slowly, he realized his past mistakes, transferred all the hatred and anger in his heart to training, and trained desperately. He wants to get ahead, he wants to glorify his ancestors.

At the end of May, Lu Zhishen passed the happy assessment, became a member of the cavalry, and served as a squad leader because of his outstanding completion of the training task.

This time, Lu Zhishen followed Xing Xing out of Xuyi City secretly and came to Yangping County to help Wang Lin resist Chen *'s army.

After Chen's army pulled out all the strongholds along the Yangtze River in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he slowed down the offensive, advanced steadily and steadily, step by step, and at the same time adopted Huairou means to integrate and digest the occupied areas.

Because of this, the Chen * army that came to besiege Yangping was only 30,000, and Wang Lin relied on the original 5,000 defenders in the city and his own 5,000 remnants of 10,000 soldiers, and combined the strength of the people in the city, so he barely held Yangping County for nearly three months.

Wang Lin's letter of request for help was sent to Yanjing Yecheng like snowflakes, but the reinforcements sent by the imperial court were nowhere to be found, and the Huaizhou assassin Shi on his side always supported him back. Three days ago, Wang Lin had no choice but to ask Xuyi not far away for help.
