Chapter 159: In the Army
When they arrived at Tian Kai's big tent, Tian Kai was not there, Ji Ping and Zhao Yun went to find Changshi Guan Jing again, Guan Jing is currently in charge of Gongsun Zhan's supplies, grain and grass.
Unexpectedly, this Guan Jing is a greedy and snobbish guy, the Zhending Zhao clan where Zhao Yun is located has long been in decline, Guan Jing is very contemptuous of Zhao Yun's words, so that Zhao Yun can only be silent. And Ji Ping pretended to be a relative of the Zhen family, Guan Jing didn't despise him in the family background of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, but asked for bribes openly and secretly.
Guan Jing was just sloppy about the clothes, weapons, and grain and grass mentioned by the two, and later, seeing that the two didn't know each other, he simply turned on a cold face and sent the two out.
Ji Ping and Zhao Yun came out of the big tent and couldn't help but look at each other.
"A slut." Ji Ping also ignored the guards on the side, and scolded: "If Yide is here, just hang this guy and beat him." ”
Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw Ji Ping's depressed appearance, Ji Ping was depressed, he was even more depressed when he said it, but Guan Jing had good things to say to Ji Ping at the beginning, but he always rolled his eyes at Zhao Yun.
However, Zhao Yun glanced at the guards guarding the door, and looked at Ji Ping with his mouth wide open in astonishment, as if he was very surprised, and hurriedly stopped Ji Ping in a low voice: "Changsheng, be cautious." ”
Ji Ping followed Zhao Yun's gaze, and also saw the guard who was looking at him in amazement, and immediately grinned at him, and said, "It's okay, this person is cheap, this brother must also have a deep understanding, right?" ”
The guard's cheeks twitched, as if crying and laughing, and his expression was even more strange.
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled Ji Ping out of here, he was a sincere person, and sometimes he felt helpless about some of Ji Ping's words and actions. But I feel very close, and I really regard Ji Ping and Xiahoulan as brothers.
They did not ask for clothing, food, grass, or weapons. Ji Ping felt disgraced and felt that he had no face to see those subordinates. happened to hear that Tian Kai was coming back on the way back, so he pulled Zhao Yun to see Tian Kai again.
After all, Tian Kai is now his and Zhao Yun's direct boss, and it is natural to find Tian Kai if he has something.
After the personal guard reported, Ji Ping and Zhao Yun saw Tian Kai in the big tent, this was the third time they had seen Tian Kai in the past two days, but the first few times were in practice, and it was the first time they met alone.
Tian Kai was a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing armor at this time, with three locks of long hair under his chin. It looks quite elegant, and his eyes are sharp, so he shows a bit of majesty and murder in his elegance.
This is a battle-hardened general, one of the four most powerful generals under Gongsun Zhan, who has been fighting with Gongsun Zhan against foreign races, although he is not famous in the Central Plains, but he is famous in Youzhou and Xianbei Wuhuan.
Tian Kai was studying in the camp, and when he heard Zhao Yun and Ji Ping asking for clothes, weapons, and food, he couldn't help but be stunned. raised his head and looked at the two of them, frowned, and said, "You guys go down, since the Marquis of Ji has given the order, the armor and weapons will naturally be issued between the ten months." ”
Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "General." The moon is too long, I am afraid that Yuan Shao's army may not wait for the moon to last, and our 1,796 children have no weapons. How to fight if the food supply is not even? ”
"You're going to fight too?" Tian Kai sneered. There was a little disdain in his expression, and then he waved his hand and said, "You recruits." I won't go to the battlefield for a while, so if you're in a hurry, let's go down first. ”
Zhao Yun was silent, ready to retreat, he has spent his main energy on martial arts since he was a child, and he is a first-class tiger general who is brave on the battlefield, but he doesn't like to fight when it comes to dealing with people. What's more, they are just newcomers, and they don't have the merit of size, Tian Kai said this, although he was depressed, he had nothing to say.
Ji Ping felt a surge of anger in his heart, no matter what, they always came to serve Gongsun Zhan, and it took so many twists and turns to get a weapon. He also didn't like to fight, but at this time he had to fight.
In order to pacify the Black Mountain Army, in order to prevent Gongsun Chan from discovering the abnormality, he only brought twenty Tiger Battalion guards and a few ghosts and shadows on this trip, and the rest were recruits. Now that the war will break out at any time, the troops will be stretched thin, and their recruits will be involved in the battlefield when they should be involved in the battlefield, which is by no means what Tian Kai said.
He did not retreat with Zhao Yun, but looked at Tian Kai, hugged his fists and said: "General, our children of Changshan and Zhongshan are not afraid of life and death, and have traveled thousands of miles to serve the Marquis of Ji. ”
"Bold!" Tian Kai's thick eyebrows suddenly rose, his eyes widened, and he patted the desk, and said, "Vertical!" You dare to threaten General Ben. ”
He has been on the battlefield for a long time outside the Saiwai, and his power is strong on weekdays, and his generals have always been quite afraid, and when he is angry at this time, he naturally exudes a killing atmosphere, and his power is even greater.
But who is Ji Ping, not to mention the equal environment in the previous life, just the identity of this life, looking at the world, there is no one who can be more imposing than him, and immediately said without humility or arrogance: "This is not a threat to the general, just as the general loves the nurses, we must also be responsible for the life and death of the children in the county we brought, and we are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but if we don't even have armor and weapons, we can only leave, or protect the county." ”
Zhao Yun on the side was about to retreat, but when he saw Tian Kai angry, he immediately stopped and advanced and retreated with Ji Ping.
Tian Kai's eyes were like lightning, and he swept over the two, but the two teenagers were not afraid of his power at all, much stronger than those generals in his army, and Ji Ping's words were even louder, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't get down the steps on his face, and immediately sneered: "Shaft, you guys left the barracks with those miscellaneous soldiers to show the general." ”
Ji Ping didn't say a word, pulled Zhao Yun, turned around and walked out of the military tent.
Tian Kai looked at the backs of the two and just sneered.
But I heard Ji Ping sigh before going out: "General Tian is really domineering, I will wait for today's departure, I am afraid that Jizhou counties and counties know that Jihou only loves Youzhou soldiers, and does not use Jizhou soldiers, and the world also knows that Jihou does not issue weapons and does not send grain and grass, and General Tian is really great." ”
"Stay!" As soon as Tian Kai heard Ji Ping's words, his face couldn't help but change sharply, and he snorted.
Ji Ping's words can be described as a needle and a needle, Gongsun Chan is now seizing Jizhou with Yuan Shao, if the counties of Jizhou think that Gongsun Chan only attaches importance to Youzhou and excludes Jizhou, then his Tian Kai's sin will be great.
Ji Ping and Zhao Yun turned their heads, Zhao Yun was silent with perseverance, and Ji Ping had a hint of a smile.
Tian Kai's face changed continuously, and he snorted coldly: "Go down and train the soldiers well, and the armor and weapons will be issued in a few days." ”
"Thank you, General." Ji Ping and Zhao Yun saluted and thanked him, and then Ji Ping said again: "There are also military rations......
Tian Kai stared at Ji Ping for a long time, and snorted, "Go down." ”
Ji Ping saluted again, and Zhao Yun withdrew from the big tent, Tian Kai's eyes softened slightly, and he said to himself: "These two boys are extraordinary, they know how to advance and retreat, and in time, they should succeed." ”
Then he shook his head and sighed: "I was coerced by a kid, hey...... I can only go to Guan Jing's house. ”
Ji Ping and Zhao Yun returned to the camp tent, Zhang He and Xiahou Lan were training with the soldiers, but the weapons in the soldiers' hands were miscellaneous, wooden sticks, wooden spears and everything, the so-called people rely on clothes, soldiers rely on weapons, there are no matching weapons, and the battle drills have also had a great impact, compared with those Youzhou elite soldiers not far away, they are like a group of bandits.
The two watched for a long time, and Zhao Yun sighed: "Thanks to the virtuous brother today, otherwise the brothers would have to practice like this." ”
Ji Ping smiled, looking at the Youzhou soldiers who were practicing not far away, there were infantry, there were cavalry and archery, and the momentum was extraordinary, he sighed slightly and looked at Zhao Yun: "How about this Youzhou soldier of Brother Guan Jihou?" ”
Zhao Yun said solemnly: "The cavalry is good at shooting, rushing like thunder, the infantry is brave and murderous, no matter the foot and horse, the momentum is unstoppable, and more battles with Xianbei and Wuhuan, when it is the division of tigers and wolves, my children of the second county are far behind." ”
Ji Ping nodded: "The combat effectiveness and momentum of the soldiers under the Marquis of Ji are all at the peak, and the only thing to worry about is to be too arrogant and underestimate the enemy." ”
Zhao Yun hesitated and said: "The Marquis of Ji once studied the scriptures with the great Confucian Lu Zhonglang, he is quite eloquent and good at using soldiers, so he should not be arrogant, right?" ”
"People always change." Ji Ping sighed slightly, and then said, "Brother has seen the white horse under the Marquis of Ji?" ”
"White Horse Righteousness." A hint of yearning flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes: "Although I have seen some of them at Jihou, I have never seen the majesty of its battlefield, but the three thousand white horses have made Xianbei Wuhuan frightened, and he did not dare to go south, he is the elite of the elite." ”
Ji Ping smiled: "Brother is good at riding, can you intentionally lead the white horse to follow?" ”
Zhao Yun was stunned, unconsciously touched the iron gun in his hand, and said: "The White Horse Yicong is the personal guard of the Marquis of Ji, led by General Yan, how can the foolish brother lead the White Horse Yicong, besides, the Marquis of Ji doesn't like you and me, and it is not easy to enter the White Horse Yicong." ”
Ji Ping shook his head and said: "Others don't know, don't I know, my brother has immortal bravery, and Jihou and Youzhou soldiers take the word courage first, in my opinion, it is only a matter of time before my brother enters the White Horse." ”
Zhao Yun asked rhetorically: "The courage of the virtuous brother is still above the brother, can the virtuous brother be willing to enter the white horse?" ”
In fact, although Ji Ping's force is strong, it is still worse than Zhao Yun, and at this time, Zhao Yun said that he was not as good as Ji Ping, so he was naturally modest.
Ji Ping grinned and said: "Although I know two tricks, I am afraid of death and pain, so Bai Ma Yi never thought about it, I only hope that my brother will join Bai Ma Yi and make contributions, and the younger brother will lead the county soldiers to follow the autumn wind." ”
Zhao Yun couldn't help but be speechless, he was a sincere person, as soon as Ji Ping joked, he was relaxed and funny, but he wouldn't return the favor.
However, what Zhao Yun didn't know at this time was that Ji Ping was not just talking about his entry into the White Horse Yicong, but hoped and even wanted to secretly help Zhao Yun become a member of the White Horse Yicong.
Whether Zhao Yun is a member of the White Horse Yicong is not clearly recorded in history, the White Horse Yicong was formed when Gongsun Chan fought against Xianbei and Wu Huan, but this elite army was annihilated by Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi in the next Battle of Jieqiao, and Zhao Yun was just Gongsun Chan who took refuge before the Battle of Jieqiao, so the possibility of him joining Baima Yicong is not high.
But Ji Ping needs Zhao Yun to join the White Horse Yicong. (To be continued......)
