Chapter 4: The Imperial War God
On the fifth day of the convoy's march, because it could reach the base camp of the Cangnan Army in the afternoon of the same day, Zuo Yin still had a lot of expectations in his heart, after all, it was a place that could accommodate 50,000 soldiers, and it should be much larger than Qingshan City.
When the chariots and horses turned around a mountainside, a vast field suddenly appeared in the mountains surrounding, the camp tents were densely packed like a beehive, crowded with the vast military camp in the field, the green mountains and green forests in the distance, under the spring breeze blowing, there was a magnificent border weather.
"This is the big battalion, but generally there are not many soldiers in it, most of the mountains are stationed there in the Dead Dragon Pass, and at least half of the military strength of the forest department and the wind department is often outside to perform various tasks, only our fire department, just take a nap in such a situation, of course, if there is a big battle, we will definitely be the first to break through." When Bai Dutong briefly introduced the general situation of the Cangnan Army, the convoy had slowly approached the camp, and the originally closed gate was suddenly opened when the convoy was approaching, and the soldiers guarding the city gate knelt on one knee: "Meet Bai Dutong." ”
"Get up." Bai Changzhi sat in the carriage and said lightly, when the convoy completely drove into the camp, I saw that he directly carried Zuo Yin off the carriage with one hand, and then gave Yang Zizhan a simple instruction, and then took Zuo Yin and strode straight to the largest camp tent in the camp.
Along the way, the soldiers in red light armor or scale armor all looked at Bai Changzhi with respect, and at the same time cast a deep thought, or look, or gloomy gaze on Zuo Yin behind Bai Changzhi, Bai Changzhi didn't seem to see this, just went all the way forward, although Zuo Yin behind him was a newcomer, he also knew the complexity of this environment, he could only bow his head and walk quickly.
Before entering the gate of the largest camp, Bai Changzhi had already shouted loudly: "Boss, I found a good seedling, see how this kid is?" There was no indifference at the gate of the barracks just now, Zuo Yin had gradually become accustomed to his master's abnormality along the way, but he still followed this master who had only known him for five days into the big tent with anxiety.
Can be called the boss by the master who is the commander of the Cangnan Army, only the Wei Guogong of the empire, the commander of the Cangnan Army - Wu Jing, for Zuo Yin, who grew up in Qingshan City since childhood, such a character has always been the military god in the mouth of the people of Qingshan City, legend has it that he and the current Yan King of the empire - Lu Dingbei were listed as the commanders of the two main armies of the Yuanjia Northern Expedition, and each led the troops to break the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop, and the blood almost stained the entire grassland, and since then it has been more than 30 years now, there is no major dispute in the north, The people in the northern part of the empire have almost worshiped the statues of Wei Guogong and Yan Wang, and after the Yuanjia Northern Expedition, Yan Wang guarded the northern part of the empire, and Wei Guogong guarded the southern frontier of the empire.
When a legend is alive in front of himself, Zuo Yin's heart is full of excitement, but he doesn't dare to make a mistake, until Wei Guogong speaks, Zuo Yin dares to raise his head, Wei Guogong is wearing a dark blue robe, wearing an ordinary riding knife around his waist, his face is peaceful, and his eyebrows are very ordinary, and Zuo Yin was surprised to find that the famous Wei Guogong is not as fierce and decisive as rumored by the outside world, but has the majesty of the patriarch of a big family, not so much Wei Guogong, but the elderly patriarch of a small family in the southeast of the empire, But Zuo Yin didn't dare to think about it. Perhaps, when people get old, they will lose their sharpness, just like their grandfather.
Although Wei Guogong's appearance is simple and unpretentious, when he stares at Zuo Yin, Zuo Yin still sees a brightness and indifference in Wei Guogong's eyes, like a well, clear and clean at first glance, and only after a closer look does he find that it is unfathomable. Just when Zuo Yin was nervous, Wei Guogong smiled gently and stroked his gray beard, "Yes, the heart is okay, that's enough, it's just that I allow you to accept apprentices, but I don't allow you to throw your apprentices to me without permission." Wei Guogong seemed to be in a good mood, and joked to Bai Changzhi.
"Ah, old man, how dare I, let your white-haired person send a black-haired person, and if you toast in front of my grave at that time, then I can't afford to eat it." With that, both of them laughed.
Zuo Yin heard this, his heart was silent for a while, died in battle, this is the second time to hear similar words, it seems that the days of the Cangnan Army this year are very severe, but, the more wars, the easier it is to accumulate military merits, although he just wanted to be a pharmacist when he first came, but now with this master, he can at least learn the power of self-preservation in the war, and Zuo Yin glanced at the master he had only known for five days, and he was willing to teach him after meeting for five days, and I Zuo Yin would do my best to help the master. For the young man who came out of the small place of Qingshan City, who is right and wrong, he has a scale in his heart, and there are not many people who are good to him, but he must keep it in mind.
After meeting with Wei Guogong, Bai Dutong took Zuo Yin to the camp of the Fire Department and explained him to Yang Zizhan: "Zizhan, you first teach this kid the starting hand of simple knife skills and some fist and foot kung fu, and then let him report to the doctor's department." Then he turned to Zuo Yin and said: "By the way, boy, you and I can be commensurate with master and apprentice when you go out, here, you just call me Boss Bai like those boys, and you kid have to practice hard, take advantage of your youth to learn more things, and remember that this is your own people, every soldier and general of the fire department is your brother, keep this in mind, there is nothing wrong." General Bai admonished before leaving.
"Disciple remember." Zuo Yin respectfully sent the master away, and carefully pondered the master's parting words in his heart. Yang Zizhan looked at Zuo Yin's thoughtful expression, and said lightly: "Come with me." Zuo Yin was puzzled, but when he asked about the aroma of the food, he realized that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and had just met with the emperor ** god, and he even forgot about it in a moment of excitement.
In the evening, due to the fatigue of five consecutive days, coupled with the mental tension of seeing Wei Guogong today, Zuo Yin finally felt a little tired, but fortunately, the food in the fire department was good, because it was to reward them for their hard work to escort the supplies, and they could also eat fragrant meat for dinner, Zuo Yin replenished his physical strength.
After dinner, Yang Zizhan took Zuo Yin to his camp, Zuo Yin looked at this camp that was much larger than those outside, Zizhan saw his doubts, and explained lightly: "I am the deputy general of the capital, so the camp tent specifications are higher," Zuo Yin suddenly couldn't help but blame himself for not understanding such a simple thing, and was afraid that he would leave a bad image for Yang Zizhan.
Yang Zizhan pointed to a bed on the side of the tent that looked like a temporary one, and said to Zuo Yin: "From tonight, you will sleep on that side and get up early tomorrow." After saying a simple word, Vice Admiral Zizhan walked into the camp on his own, and a screen was separated between the two, compared with the ordinary vassal elegant works, on top of this screen was a map, with dense markings on it.
After five days of hard work, Zuo Yin finally had time to relax and sort out his thoughts.
Five days ago, he was still a medicine farmer, five days later, he became an intern pharmacist in the Cangnan Army, and somehow he was appreciated by Bai Dutong, recognized himself as an apprentice, and also saw Wei Guogong, one of the two great military gods of the empire, although his appearance is not amazing, but he still has his own bearing, and it is estimated that he will be envious to death by the little fat man in Boss Li's shop, but he should not believe it, and the eldest brother Lin Xiuwen of Qingshan City, who often wants to be filial to himself, although he has eaten a lot of his own medicine money on weekdays, However, after reporting his name in the city, not too many gangsters dared to bully him, and they were not sorry, but he also gave himself a bag of gifts, which he owed him.
That's right, gift, Zuo Yin instantly sobered up, he turned his head to look at the inside of the tent, but then laughed at his small strength, Deputy General Yang Zizhan is the second person in the Ministry of Fire, and he is also walking sideways in the empire, and he is using his money to open his eyes, Zuo Yin took out a splendid package, and this bag alone looks very valuable.
When Zuo Yin opened the bag, he found that it was indeed a book as he expected, two volumes, and there was no word on the cover, but when he opened the book to read, he found that it was a medicine book, and after the annotation of many physicians and pharmacists, the blank space on the side page of the book was filled with circles in three or four fonts.
