Seeing He Shixian shaking his head, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice: "General, Zhao Shujiao has been in Liaodong for many years and has a deep affection for this place, how can he leave easily?" ”

It seemed that Zhao Shujiao had something to say, He Shixian frowned, and then said with a smile: "Since the elder brother is here, the elder brother must entertain the elder brother well, and the elder brother will let people prepare wine and food, let's talk while eating!" ”

After a short time, the wine and food were put on the table, and it was more suitable to say that it was not so much wine and meat as wine and meat. Each person has a large leg of lamb, roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, which is very attractive to look at. The whole leg of lamb is cooked, and there is no charring on the outside, so you can see that the chef's skills are very good. One person and one jar of wine, this is the wine and food prepared by He Shixian for Zhao Shujiao, but obviously this kind of thing is more suitable for the appetite of these two people.

The two of them sat at two tables, each with a small scimitar and a Fang Haiwan. Stretching out his hand to Zhao Shujiao, He Shixian laughed and said, "Brother, please!" ”

"Brother, please!" Zhao Shujiao also hugged his fist at He Shixian and said with a smile.

The two of them were not polite, and after drinking a bowl of wine, they went their separate ways. Swallowing the meat in his mouth, He Shixian said with a smile: "Okay, now the elder brother can say anything he wants!" For the changes in my brother, my brother is also very curious, so let's talk about it now! ”

Drinking the wine in the bowl, Zhao Shujiao sighed lightly, and said a little depressedly: "Brother, my brother knows that you look down on me, look down on people like me, think I'm a bear, think I'm not worthy of war, and don't deserve to be a general!" ”

Seeing the sincerity of Zhao Shujiao's words, He Shixian nodded slowly, and said quite seriously: "Brother, in this land of Liaodong, although many people respected you at the beginning, no one really looks up to you. Even if it's the lowest level of soldiers. Maybe a few people will look up to you, and my brother once suspected that your identity as a martial artist was fake. It was only when I saw you today that I realized that it was not fake, why did you do it for so many years? ”

"Brother, everyone has their own hardships, and they are all stories that can't be told. When he was young, he worshipped Huo Quai. When I heard that the Tartars disturbed the border, I wished that one day I could lead people into the grassland desert. can achieve Huo Quai's exploits, and immediately look for the marquis. When I was young, I was looking for people everywhere to learn martial arts, and after learning my skills, I felt that it was almost enough, so I went to Beijing to take the martial arts test. Zhao Shujiao's voice was very low, and there was a faint mockery in his tone from time to time.

Sighing softly, He Shixian said helplessly: "Brother thinks the same way, but Brother can't do it." I don't have that ability. After so many years, there is no way to do many things! ”

Drinking the wine in the bowl in one gulp, Zhao Shujiao's face suddenly turned a little red, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, Zhao Shujiao said helplessly: "I entered Beijing at the age of eighteen to take the martial arts exam, and I didn't even enter the examination room in the first year, let alone the exam!" The martial arts of that year were all the sons of nobles, and people like us had no chance to take the exam. When I saw those literati taking the top prize. I realized that the imperial court did not attach importance to martial arts, and it did not matter whether there was a fair environment or not. ”

looked at Zhao Shujiao's depressed expression. He Shixian also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, they were called Qiu Ba, and they pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers. What about those humanists? I enjoy the brocade clothes and food every day, and I also point fingers at them from time to time, and they are arrogant one by one. It is impossible to say that there is no thought in the heart. But He Shixian knew that neither he nor Zhao Shujiao had the ability to change all this!

After a deep sigh, Zhao Shujiao sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Three years later." I went to Beijing again to take the martial arts exam, and finally got the martial arts exam. At that time, I was happy, thinking that I would be able to take the top prize in the exam this time and glorify my ancestors. Just when I was full of confidence, I received a notification that the exam was over and I got a martial artist. Since then, I have made up my mind in my heart that I must work hard and not let my son live like this. So no matter what kind of thing I do, the only purpose is to get power, but more than 20 years later, I am just a small guerrilla general. ”

Looking at Zhao Shujiao's appearance, He Shixian also sighed deeply, if it weren't for the fact that a large number of the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty died in the Battle of Salhu, He Shixian didn't know when he would be able to sit on the general army. He can completely understand Zhao Shujiao's heart, and he also understands what Zhao Shujiao is thinking in his heart.

"As time went on, I became more and more discouraged and thought that this was it! Sometimes I want to resign and go home, such a court and such an emperor are not worth my life for him. Especially looking at the soldiers who were encroached on the fields, and the soldiers who died of illness because they couldn't get their salaries, I couldn't wait to rebel against this court. Zhao Shujiao seems to have drunk too much, and he doesn't have a door to talk about.

He Shixian, who was on the side, also nodded, and said helplessly: "Yes! Watching the people suffer is like the government forcing the people to rebel, but what can we do? ”

"But since Lord Yuan was transferred back to the capital, Sun Dashuai came to Liaodong and not only won the battle. The emperor also punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and before the internal funds were sent directly to the army, I felt that I saw hope again. Zhao Shujiao's face was full of excitement at this time, and he said with a laugh while drinking wine.

Nodding slowly, He Shixian smiled and said, "Yes!" When I first met Sun Dashuai, I was impressed by his ability and character. During the battle of Shenyang, I, He Shixian, died nine times, for Sun Dashuai, and for the father of Liaodong! But when I arrived at Běijing City, I saw the emperor at noon, and the emperor patted me on the shoulder. The emperor said: 'As long as you are a hero of the Ming Dynasty, who has shed blood and sweat for the Ming Dynasty, I will never forget it!' At that time, I knew that the Ming Dynasty had finally produced a wise emperor. ”

Looking at the excited He Shixian, Zhao Shujiao also smiled and said: "I hope that one day, I will also be able to stand at the noon gate and let the emperor say this to me!" ”

"I'll tell you good news, you want to do Huo Qu's disease, no problem. The emperor wants to establish a cavalry force in Liaodong, which is tentatively set at 30,000 people. It's just in the planning and hasn't been announced yet! As long as you have the ability, the handsome and employing people are eclectic, get a general soldier, command 10,000 Jing horses, gallop the grassland desert, it is definitely not a problem! He Shixian laughed and drank the wine in the bowl and said loudly.

"General, are you telling the truth?" Looking at He Shixian in disbelief, Zhao Shujiao asked in surprise.

Nodding vigorously, He Shixian said in a deep voice: "Naturally, it's true, how can it be fake?" General Ben never lies! He Shixian stretched out his hand and patted his chest and said loudly.

At this time, Zhao Shujiao's face was suddenly ecstatic, he learned art from a teacher when he was young, and he had learned it immediately when he stepped down. Among them, the key thing to learn is immediate kung fu, a 38-pound iron gun, Zhao has been a coach for a lifetime. I thought that my skills would be useless in my life, but I didn't expect to have such an opportunity.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Shujiao felt that this was almost certainly not so easy to get, and once the news spread, I am afraid that the entire Liaodong General Army, Deputy General Army, and Staff General would all be eyeing here. Fortunately, I have been prepared, if this thing is done, then this position will definitely have its own.

Glancing at He Shixian, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice: "General He, do you know where I came from?" ”

The hand holding the wine bowl paused slightly, and He Shixian said in a deep voice: "Where does the brother come from?" ”

"General, I'm from Shenyang avant-garde!" Zhao Shujiao lowered the wine bowl in his hand, and said quite seriously.

"Shenyang avant-garde? It's occupied by Jiannu, what are you going to do there? Putting down and playing with a solemn face, He Shixian looked at Zhao Shujiao with burning eyes, and asked with a calm face.

Sighing softly, Zhao Shujiao said helplessly: "In the past, my reputation was very bad, if I want to take refuge in the handsome, how can I have a decent credit!" Otherwise, others will definitely still look down on me, and I won't be able to live in the future. This time, I came to the general for this purpose. Whether it's to prove my ability, or to count as a vote, I hope to take down the Shenyang avant-garde! ”

After listening to Zhao Shujiao's words, He Shixian did not speak, and the Shenyang avant-garde was a very important stronghold. Twenty miles out of Shenyang, it is a fortress that can garrison tens of thousands of soldiers. As long as the Shenyang avant-garde is taken down, it can form a triangle with Shenyang City and the Shenyang Zhongwei, relying on each other to better defend Jiannu. If you move forward, you can enter Kaiyuan and Tieling, or you can peep into Fushun. Moreover, with the Shenyang avant-garde, once the cavalry is formed, the Shenyang Zhongwei can enter Mongolia and attack the tribes allied by Mongolia and Jiannu, first, they can plunder war horses and livestock, and they can also capture people to occupy pastures and establish large-scale pastures. Second, it can ensure the activity space of the cavalry, and can attack Kaiyuan and Tieling at any time, without worrying about being surrounded by Jiannu.

Slowly thinking back to what Sun Chengzong said to himself, He Shixian's face was unusually dignified, if he could recover the Shenyang avant-garde, the benefits would naturally be self-evident! Glancing at Zhao Shujiao, He Shixian said in a deep voice: "The stakes are very high, if you don't report the matter to the commander, once there is a mistake, you and I can't afford it!" ”

"General, I stayed in the Shenyang avant-garde for a month, and I found that there were only five thousand Jiannu in the Shenyang avant-garde. However, only 2,000 men were stationed in the city, and the remaining 3,000 were all camped outside the city, and they also went out to hunt from time to time. I captured a captive, and there was not much food and grass in the Shenyang Acropolis, and they needed to rely on hunting to fill their stomachs. However, the grain and grass will be delivered soon, and we must take advantage of this gap to recover the Shenyang avant-garde in one fell swoop. Please have 5,000 soldiers with me, and I am willing to go and take back the Shenyang avant-garde! Zhao Shujiao's voice was very small, but his expression was quite excited. (To be continued......)
