Nangang County and Ying County are only a hundred miles away, and in the past six months, Lu Chengkong has also been to Pang An twice. Along the official road, I walked for a day before I arrived at the outskirts of Nangang.
The inns and teahouses along the way were closed, and he only cared about studying the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" last night, and the dry food he prepared was only enough for a meal in the morning, and he was already hungry at this time, and his legs and feet were weak. Looking at the desolate scenery around him, his heart became hotter and hotter.
"Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken." Along the way, Lu Chengkong was silently reciting this poem in his heart, secretly thinking: "Last night in front of Zhong Liruo, how could he inexplicably recite these two poems?" ”
If it is said that going to Simen to study and participate in the imperial examination every day is a kind of torment, then walking on this road, Lu Chengkong feels familiar and relaxed, the closer he is to the battlefield in Nangang, the more convinced he is in his heart: "God will not let me come to this world for no reason, let alone let me memorize the art of war for no reason, my surname is Lu, and I am familiar with the "Lu Sheng's Art of War"...... It must be the descendant of Lu Sheng. ”
"I have God's blessing, and I am here to protect my family and defend my country...... It seems that it is difficult to become a general! Originally, Lu Chengkong never believed in numerology, but today, he is convinced of it.
After walking for a while, the sky was completely dark, and there was no figure around, although Lu Chengkong was a little stunned, he had to walk forward with his head stiff. After turning over this mountain, I finally saw a group of camps under the mountain, and the smoke curled up.
At this time, Lu Chengkong was like the starving ghost seeing the delicacies of the mountains and seas, tightened the burden on his body, and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain. When I got closer, I saw a wooden fence around the barracks, a military flag planted in front of the camp, with two words written on it: "Datang", and there were already sergeants patrolling around.
"Stop!" When a patrolling soldier saw Lu Chengkong rushing down from the mountain, he immediately pulled out the Tang knife on his waist and pointed at him.
Lu Chengkong was about to explain, but when he looked closely, this soldier was Niu Er who was standing guard in the military government in peacetime.
"You're a cow...... Second Brother Niu? Lu Chengkong said as he walked towards him. When he walked in front of Niu Er, his face was illuminated by the torch in his hand. Lu Chengkong's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself and said, "Second Brother Niu...... It's me. ”
There were two more people behind Niu Er, and the three of them came up listlessly with torches, and the flames illuminated Lu Chengkong so much that he couldn't open his eyes, and one of them said with a smile: "Yo...... This is really Lu Gongzi. ”
Lu Chengkong saw that the torch was about to burn to his eyebrows, so he hurriedly took a step back, waved his hand, and said with a wry smile: "It's me, it's me." ”
Although Lu Chengkong is the son of Lu Liang, he can enter the four schools, and he has the qualification of 'apprentice' to enter Beijing to take the exam. Most of these soldiers are illiterate, and their identities are naturally under the scholars, but Lu Chengkong always runs to the military government on weekdays, and he is polite to everyone, and over time, the soldiers in the military government of Yingxian County have a good impression of him, and they all call him "Lu Gongzi".
Niu Er saw that it was Lu Chengkong, and heard him call himself 'Second Brother Niu', and his heart suddenly felt a little comfortable. He put the knife into the sheath, and said with a sigh of relief: "Master Lu, why are you here?" ”
"Last night, Lu ...... My father was in a hurry, and he was in a hurry, and there was ...... Something important was left at home, and I happened to pick it up, and I thought that the military situation was urgent, so I rushed over overnight! Lu Chengkong's eyes rolled, so he pointed to his chest mysteriously, as if telling him, 'There is a secret letter here', and said as if he was serious: "Second Brother Niu, take me into the barracks quickly." ”
Niu Er was in a difficult position, although this outsider could not enter the barracks, Lu Chengkong did not seem to be an outsider.
Seeing that Niu Er was a little hesitant, Lu Chengkong hurriedly said: "Second Brother Niu, the military situation is urgent, you and I can't delay it!" ”
Niu Eryi heard that the military situation was urgent, and thought: "If the military situation is delayed, I can't afford it." So after giving a few words to the soldiers guarding in front of the camp, he took Lu Chengkong into the barracks.
Lu Chengkong looked around the barracks, only to see that the outside of the camp tent was in a mess, the ground was full of debris, and most of the soldiers were disheveled. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: "How can the army be so lax in military discipline?" "I looked at the battle carefully, and if I wanted to say that there was any difference in the army, I couldn't feel it for a while.
Niu Er saw Lu Chengkong looking around, and asked with a smile: "Young Master Lu, this army is extremely boring, what is there to see?" ”
Lu Chengkong said: "I'm looking at what's special in this barracks. ”
Niu Er laughed and said: "If you want to say that there is something special in the army, it is less...... Less women. ”
When Lu Chengkong heard this, he really felt that the chaos around him was a little chaotic, but the masculinity was thick enough. He had already thought of his words, so he pointed to the direction of walking and asked, "Second Brother Niu, is the cavalry battalion over there?" He was dressed in a green cloth robe, and he was a little obtrusive in the barracks, but fortunately, it was late and few people noticed.
Niu Er shook his head and complained, "Where are there any cavalry battalions in the military palace now?" War horses are very expensive! People are going to have enough to eat, what kind of horses do they have? Well, the cavalry in the military palace is also very rarely trained. If you want to say that this cavalry has no more than 100 people in the barracks, and now they live with the infantry. As he spoke, he pointed not far away and said, "The infantry battalion is over there." ”
Lu Chengkong stopped, touched his chest, and said solemnly: "Second Brother Niu, this thing is quite important, my father once confessed, can I tell others this letter...... I'd better go over on my own. ”
Niu Er could only give up, thinking that Lu Chengkong would not be a spy, so he said: "Captain Lu is in the fifth military tent in front of him. After speaking, he didn't care about Lu Chengkong, and walked away.
Lu Chengkong hurriedly hid in the dark, and his heart was overjoyed. He knew that Pang An was in the infantry battalion, so he hid aside and observed carefully, and secretly thought: "Pang An has played with him since he was a child, and he is like a brother, and I will not be rejected if I run to him at night." ”
After waiting for half an hour, there was still no shadow of Pang An, only the cold wind was blowing, Lu Chengkong hugged his hands, curled up in the wind and shivered.
After another moment, I saw a man wearing a military uniform and carrying a belt of trousers, walking out of the pit.
"You...... Are you Brother Liu Shi? Lu Chengkong greeted him as if he saw a rescuer.
The man was startled by the sound in the shadows, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he was a little surprised and said, "Master Lu, you ...... Why are you here too? ”
This person's name is Liu Shi, who is in the same camp as Pang An, and has a lot of contact with Lu Chengkong on weekdays, and he has seen his embarrassment outside the wine shop earlier.
"Where's Pang An?"
Liu Shi is honest, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he doesn't ask much at this time, shouting at the barracks: "Pang An, Pang An!" ”
"It's a big night, what are you shouting nonsense!" I saw Pang An sticking out his head from the tent, followed the sound, hurriedly ran over, and asked in surprise: "Chengkong, ...... What are you doing here? Didn't Uncle Lu say that in a few days, you will have to enter Beijing in advance? ”
Liu Shi was very familiar with the two, yawned, and said as he walked towards the barracks: "I'll go to sleep first." ”
"Pang An, don't let Uncle Lu know about my coming to the army!" Lu Chengkong took Pang An's hand and said solemnly.
Pang An was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Lu Chengkong's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said, "I also want to go to the battlefield!" ”
"Are you kidding?" Pang An looked at Lu Chengkong's serious appearance, and it didn't seem like a joke, thinking that he loved to read "Lu Sheng's Art of War" since he was a child, and the most revered was the general who defended the country, and suddenly understood a little in his heart, and said: "I must not hide this matter from Uncle Lu!" ”
After that, he turned around and went to find Lu Liang.
