~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The wooden building, which had been tilted, was re-erected and raised platforms were erected for entry and exit. Outside the building, there are layers of sergeants, with shiny armor and long soldiers.
In the wooden building, it has been separated by a row of shields, and is divided into three grids: the left one is the maid maid of Qiao Wu serving the big and small Qiao sisters to change clothes and wash; On the right, the soldiers of the general's guard who were wounded in the battle are being treated, two of them are critically injured and one is killed in battle.
In the middle of the middle, Aso and the newly added dragon wolf knight Shi Tianbao (i.e., small stones) in the reinforcements started to put armor on the horses.
The armor is rare gold, and the armor is dense with inverted three characters, as dense as fish scales; The chest and abdomen are bright and smooth heart protectors, and the top is a collar that protects the chest and back, which is fastened from the shoulders with a strap, and the waist is buckled with a wide belt. The left and right knee skirts are drooped, and the body armor is decorated with a shawl, and the left and right shawls are connected at the back of the neck, and tied under the neck with a belt. The iron scarf is also golden, in the shape of a round bowl, with cheeks hanging from the back of the neck, and the center of the top protrudes like a beam, and extends forward to form a helmet, shaped like an eagle's beak.
This pair of golden armor, the only one in the entire Han Dynasty, is a general's armor. It's not that other princes can't afford it, but they don't have that qualification. Previously, only Yuan Shao, who had been a general, had passed through. This gold-armored horse was brought when he went out on patrol. But when he went to Joowu, he stayed on the ship. At this time, reinforcements arrived, and it was time to reveal their identities. A golden armor is worth a thousand words.
Ma Han asked while straightening his armor: "Little Pebble, why did you join the General's Guard?" ”
Shi Tianbao took a step back, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and pressed his chest and said, "The general was the master of the little stone in the past, and it is the same now and in the future. ”
Ma Han said lightly: "That's why you took the initiative to ask for training in the Liaodong White Wolf Camp?" ”
"Yes."
"I read your training briefing, and Ma Qi spoke highly of your training performance. The deliberations of the elders of Hango were also unanimous. From this point of view, you do meet the requirements of a member of the General's Guard. ”
"General Xie!"
"Don't be busy, you can see the situation outside. Even if it is a general guard, it is also inevitable to be dangerous, and casualties are also unavoidable, you have to think clearly. ”
Shi Tianbao paused heavily: "As a sergeant." Where not dangerous. There were no casualties anywhere. If you are in danger for the sake of the general's horse pawn, this is the luck of the small stone, and there is no regret in dying, although the death is still glorious. ”
Ma Han smiled lightly: "Yes, at least I know how to drag the text, then, let's make up for the guard." ”
"General Xie!"
After draping, Ma Han turned out of the compartment. Step into the right compartment and soothe the injured guards one by one. Finally, he came to the body of the guard who died in battle, took off the freshly polished shoulder saber and placed it next to the body, straightened up, and bowed. Behind him, Chen went to the following wolves to ride, and they all took off their hats and saluted.
Turning out of the right grid, he suddenly looked up, only to realize that at some point, everyone in the left grid had appeared and knelt on the ground.
The big and small Qiao sisters have changed into red and white black clothes, knelt on the pu mat, and saluted the horses together. The snow-white jade neck sticking out of the neckline, the dark cloud sideburns, and the elegant posture make people unexpectedly think of the sentence "The most is the gentleness of the bowed head, like the shyness of a water lotus that is invincible to the cold wind." ”
Ma Han didn't move, just silently watched Ershu.
After a long time, Ma Han nodded to Ershu, turned around and walked out of the gate, and stepped onto the high platform. The previous battlefield has been cleaned up at this moment, and tens of thousands of horses, including reinforcements and prisoners, are lined up below. At the top of the list are the generals and officials of Anhui City and the heads of the docks. Ma Han only knew two people: Liu Ye and Qiao Gong.
Ma Han greeted the two of them, the former smiled, the latter was dumbfounded and sighed, while tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were in a commotion.
The dark clouds have dispersed, it is almost dusk, a ray of sunset obliquely shines on Ma Han's body, the golden light is shining, the brilliance is brilliant, it is dazzling, and the heart is in awe.
Ma Han took a deep breath and exhaled: "As you have seen, I am the general who was given the title by the Son of Heaven - Ma Han!" ”
There was silence at first, and then it boiled and the sky was boiling.
In the wooden building, the two sisters silently looked at the golden back, their eyes gradually blurred......
……
"You are Lu Boyan?"
"It's Lu Xun."
"Would you like to serve the Son of Heaven?"
"I am willing to serve the general."
Standing in front of Ma Han was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with long eyebrows and sideburns, starry eyes and a high nose, and a handsome man, no less than Mei Zhoulang. Looking at the pillar in front of him in the late stage of Eastern Wu, Ma Han's eyes were approving. It's not because of any celebrity effect, nor because Lu Xun's answer is meaningful, but because Lu Xun did a good job this time.
This time, Lu Xun made a lot of efforts to solve the siege in time.
Among the 8,000 men and horses who broke the siege, there were only 145 people in the Dragon Wolf Army, which were the three boatmen who lost contact due to the storm. As for the army of horses, it is too late. The remaining ninety percent of the troops came from Wancheng and the soldiers of Qiao, Li, Lu, Wang, Gu, Zhou and other Lujiang families.
Lu Xun was originally in charge of family affairs in his hometown in Wu County, but because of the invitation of his uncle Lu Jun of Lujiang County, he went to Anhui City to help and was appointed as the main secretary. Although Lu Xun was young at this time, he was already a famous man in Huainan, known as Jiangzuo Junyan, and it was not an exaggeration to serve as the chief bookkeeper. It's just that luck is not good, and less than three months after taking office, he caught up with this besieged city.
The uncles and nephews of the Lu family knew very well that after the heavy losses of last year, the strength and defense of Anhui City had dropped greatly, and they and the county soldiers of Anhui City alone could not stop the thieves. Therefore, Lu Xun, as a messenger, traveled between the docks, hoping to unite the dock owners and families to resist the great enemy.
But the most difficult thing to do in the past is not that everyone is unwilling, but who is in charge?
This problem also stumped Lu Xun. Originally, Lu Jun of Lujiang County was quite suitable, but among the major families, there was a side branch of the Lu family, and the surname Lu was the head. Who doesn't worry that you will favor one over the other and engage in benefit transfer? This head can only be expected. People who don't have too many interests with the major families are the most suitable.
As a result, in the process of mutual conflict and distrust, the attacks of the thieves intensified day by day. Just when Lu's uncle and nephew were at a loss, Liu Ye's appearance brought about a turning point. Undoubtedly, Liu Ye fully meets all the conditions. Therefore, Lu Xun was willing to take the risk of being besieged by thieves and rushed to Qiaowu. Ask Liu Ye for help to unite the families near the left of Anhui City.
Liu Ye smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not suitable for ......"
Lu Xun was in a hurry: "Mr. is a famous person in the world, everyone knows it." In the front, there is Zheng Bao, and in the back, there is said to descend Huang Zu, with both courage and wisdom, wisdom and bravery. If the gentleman is not suitable. Who else is up to the task? Solve the people upside down. For the benefit of Sangzi, this is a great achievement, please do not shirk Mr. ”
Liu Ye laughed: "Bo Yan is really an eloquent, but Bo Yan is right, there are really people who are more suitable than me, and they are more than competent." ”
Lu Xun was surprised: "There are still such characters? Where is it? ”
"It's in the middle of this Qiaowu......"
At this time, Qiao Yi was sweating profusely. Panicked and reported: "Two little ladies, and that Ma Yishi." Alone in the mountain bandit village! ”
Liu Ye was shocked and pushed the case forward, until Lu Xun asked repeatedly, Fang smiled bitterly: "Ye Fang is wrong, he is not in Qiaowu, but in the hidden mountain thief village." ”
At the same time, there was also an army outside Qiaowu, although there were only more than 100 people, but they killed and retreated three thief army patrols and broke in, which was the general guard and Danyang soldiers who escorted Ma Han's investigation. It was only at this time that Ma Han's identity was officially conveyed by Liu Ye.
When Qiao Gong first heard this, the tail in his hand, which was always calm, fell to the ground, and he had never seen him so out of shape when his two daughters were trapped in a den of thieves.
As soon as the golden word of the general lit up, the following things will be easy to do. Wancheng responded first, and then Liu Ye and Lu Xun went to Zhuwu to lobby for unity. It's just that the theme is no longer about rejecting thieves, but about suppressing thieves!
Things went surprisingly smoothly, and when he learned that the general of the dynasty and the new overlord of Jiangdong were trapped, the masters of various families were enthusiastic, and soon gathered 8,000 men and horses, and provided horses for the general's guard. With the dragon and wolf riding of the war horse, you can exert your full combat power.
In fact, among the 8,000 men and horses, there are not many people who really have combat effectiveness, and many of them are just ordinary dockmen who are equivalent to new soldiers. However, there are Ma Han and the general's guard who stir up the world in the thief's den, firmly absorbing and strangling a large number of thief soldiers, and everything that is impossible has become possible.
Lei Bo died, happiness died, the thief army was defeated, and the thief village was broken.
Ma Han's identity has been revealed, so naturally he can no longer live in Qiaowu, which will send a wrong signal and make other families hesitate. The most suitable place to stay is naturally the Wancheng Mansion.
Here, Ma Han summoned the families one by one to appease the families, and through the efforts of Liu Ye and Lu's uncles and nephews, he was supported by the forces of Anhui City in terms of manpower and material resources, and nearly 3,000 thieves and soldiers captured were also handed over to Anhui City for processing.
After that, Liu Ye returned to Shouchun, and went up to Lishan Mountain with Yuan Yin, and finally forced Chen Lan to lead the remnants to surrender, completely eliminating the root cause of the biggest disaster in the Lujiang River. It can be said that Ma Han's adventure still gained considerable benefits, and it was worth it.
At the beginning of November, the weather turned cold. Tai Shici and Xun Youqin led a large army to meet Ma Han.
On the day Ma Han left, the elders of the Wu tribe, nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians in Anhui City and Qiaowu residents poured out of the city to see each other off.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao stood silently at the head of Qiaowu City, speechless.
At this moment, the two fast horses left the brigade and galloped to the end. Er Qiao recognized that it was the two attendants beside that person, named Asu and Shi Tianbao.
The two of them each held up a box and said in a loud voice: "This is a gift from the general to the two little ladies." ”
After a while, the two boxes were sent to the second daughter, and they were opened separately, and the contents made the sisters angry and funny.
What is it? Big Joe's box contained a gold-handled dagger, and Little Joe's box contained an elaborate repeating hand crossbow. All are produced in Liaodong, and the dragon and wolf equipment are high-quality products. But these things are good gifts for generals or scholars, but for two beauties, it's too much......
Suddenly, the two girls stared, took out the things, and there was a note under the box.
Da Qiao: "The mountains are heavy and the waters are restored. ”
Xiao Qiao: "The willows are bright. ”
Xiao Qiao was puzzled: "What is this?" Word fan? ”
Da Qiao smiled faintly: "I don't know, we'll wait, maybe one day, he will answer it himself." (To be continued......)
