Chapter 74: Sweet and Sweet
Let's go back and take a look at the situation on the side of the main force of the Sui army, after quickly ending the battle in Luokoucang, leaving a small number of troops to continue to clean up the Luokoucang battlefield, the main force of Zuo Yiwei led by Yu Wenshu, the main force of Right Wuhou led by Qu Tutong, and the main force of Right Yiwei led by Lai Hu'er, immediately evacuated Luokoucang and marched westward to Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui.
The elite is the elite, thousands of miles of rapid return to the division, almost not much rest, and just now fought a big battle, the three main forces of the Sui army still rushed back to the eastern capital before sunset, camped outside the Anxi Gate to rest overnight, Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi had already prepared a qiē military supplies for the main force of the Sui army, and also came to the camp of the main force of the Sui army, and set up a banquet to thank Yu Wenshu and others for their kindness of thousands of miles of support.
The so-called thanks is actually a nonsense face, even if the officials of the Eastern Capital do not thank Yu Wenshu and others, the next time the Eastern Capital is in danger again, as long as there is the will of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yu Wenshu and others will have to send troops to save them again. And after finishing the politeness, Fan Zigai immediately asked Yuwenshu and the others: "General Yuwen, the military situation is like fire, can your army immediately send troops west tomorrow to pursue the main force of the traitors?" ”
"Of course, we will pursue westward tomorrow, which I have discussed with General Lai and General Qu in advance." Yuwenshu's answer made Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi breathe a sigh of relief, and then Yuwenshu added: "However, we also said in advance, the armies of the left and right Yiwei and the right Wuhou are too tired, and they have to keep their bodies to fight, and it will take at least three days to reach Hongnong." ”
"Three days later?" Fan Zigai was stunned for a moment and asked, "General Yuwen, can't you hurry up?" ”
"Fan stays behind, it's already the fastest." Yuwen Shu replied: "From Luoyang to Hongnong, there are more than 310 miles of road, and the terrain is narrow, and the cavalry is inconvenient, it took three days to rush to Hongnong, from Liaodong back to Luoyang such a long distance, there is almost no good rest, if it is not for the fact that we brought back a first-line elite team, I really dare not give you this guarantee." ”
Considering that the teams of Yuwenshu, Qu Tutong and Laihu'er were indeed tired enough, Fan Zigai could only nod no matter how anxious he was, and said: "Then please ask a few generals, if it is not the old man's harsh soldiers, it is really like a fire, and I hope that several generals will understand the righteousness of the Sanwei soldiers, explain that the relationship is very strong, and ask them to arrive at the Hongnong battlefield in three days for reinforcements." ”
Yuwenshu, Qu Tutong and others, who knew that the situation was urgent, all agreed, and then came to Hu'er and asked suspiciously: "Why does Fan Liushou care so much about our arrival time in Hongnong?" Could it be that there is another change in the military situation ahead? ”
"Rong Guogong is like a god, it is true." Fan Zigai replied with a wry smile: "More than an hour ago, Yao Yi, the county commander of Shaanxi County, sent someone to send news from the waterway of the Yellow River, on the night of the Battle of Mianchi, the township soldiers of Shaanxi County cooperated with Chen Yingliang's troops of our Eastern Capital Garrison, and successfully ambushed the traitor team east of Hangu Pass, rescued Wei Xuanwei, who was chased and killed by the traitors for hundreds of miles, and defeated the traitors by a small victory, killing more than 600 enemies. ”
"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Lai Hu'er was even more confused, and said: "A group of township soldiers cooperated with 700 right military guard officers and soldiers to kill more than 600 enemies, which is already very good, Fan Liushou are still not satisfied?" ”
"Of course the old man is satisfied, but Rong Guogong still listens to the old man's words." Fan Zigai sighed, and said: "After the war, Liu Changgong, the eastern capital who protected Wei Wensheng's retreat to Hangu Pass, quickly withdrew to Changping to rest, and the main force of the traitors also temporarily retreated for several miles to rest. ”
In addition, the people of Shaanxi County also saw with their own eyes that in addition to carrying a small number of war horses, these rebel troops who marched on the trail also carried horse meat that had been roasted. Yao Xianling suspected that the situation was wrong, and because the traitors blocked the way, he could not contact our team that had already advanced westward, so he had to report to Luoyang urgently through the Guò Yellow River waterway. ”
"Bringing roasted horse meat?" Yu Wenshu was a little puzzled, and said: "Yang rebels have seized the Luokou warehouse before, and there is absolutely no shortage of military rations, how can they be willing to slaughter precious war horses for food?" Disjointed before and after? Even if his rear army moves slowly, he can send emergency food to the front army through the soldiers carrying food, and he can't slaughter the war horses? ”
Even traitors like Chen Yingliang and Yang Zhiji couldn't turn this corner for a while, and the old stubborn Fan Zigai naturally couldn't answer this question, but Yao Yi's emergency report this time was introduced in great detail, and after thinking about it carefully, Qu Tutong immediately blurted out: "Grab time!" Yang Xuan feels that the traitor is rushing for time! In order to let the army penetrate to the west of Hongnong, occupy the favorable terrain before the right guard team, and be invincible, he killed the horse for food by any means! ”
"It makes sense, if the traitor's team can penetrate in front of the right guard's team, it can indeed be invincible." Yuwenshu agreed with Qu Tutong's judgment, and wondered: "But it's unlikely, right?" The traitor team has chased and killed for hundreds of miles, and it must have been sleepy and tired, and the path is more difficult to walk than the official road, and the traitor team is in front of the team of the right guard? ”
"Let the cavalry dismount and intersperse on foot, and there will be enough body lì interspersed!" Laihu'er suddenly spoke and said categorically.
"Ahh Everyone present was taken aback, and Fan Zigai screamed: "Oh no! Why didn't the old man think of this? Oh no, it's bad, Liu Changgong's team is infantry, and the consumption of hundreds of miles of rapid marching must be very huge, and he must not be able to outrun the traitor cavalry who have marched hundreds of miles on horseback! ”
"If it weren't for the traitor slaughtering the warhorse, I wouldn't have thought of it." Lai Hu'er's face was a little gloomy, "Let the cavalry dismount and walk through, this sentence is simple to say, it really comes to a critical moment, ordinary people are afraid that they can't turn this corner, Yang Xuangan has a high number of people in the traitor's team, and Tongguan is afraid to be dangerous." ”
The big tent of the Chinese army, which was still quite warm just now, quieted down, and whether it was the officials of the Eastern Capital or the fierce men of the Sui army, all of them had grim faces, worried, and silent. After a long time, Lord Yun Dingxingyun, the young secretary of the guard, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "If Tongguan is unfortunately lost, the blame is all on Liu Changgong and that Chen Yingliang!" ”
The generals of the Eastern Capital Wenwu and Sui Army present all rolled their eyes, and looked at Yun Shaoqing with different looks, but Yun Shaoqing's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said loudly: "Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang's team is the reinforcement sent by Fan Liushou to reinforce Wei Liushou and His Royal Highness King Cai. If Tongguan is lost, they should be held responsible! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”
Chen Yingliang's distant uncle Pei Hongce directly rolled his eyeballs into white eyes, knowing that Yun Shaoqing, the old slippery head, was taking precautions, preparing for the loss of Tongguan, once Yang Xuangan's rebels entered the pass, he would put all the blame on Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang, so that even if Emperor Yang of Sui held the responsibility for the failure of the three main forces of the Sui army to pursue effectively, Yun Shaoqing, who served as Yuwenshu's deputy, could also take a lot less responsibility, or even no responsibility-because he was a civil official after all.
Fortunately, Qu Tutong and Laihu'er's character is still reasonable, although Yuwenshu is less like them than them, but now after all, it has not been confirmed that Tongguan has been lost, and Yuwenshu is not as anxious as Yun Shaoqing to shirk responsibility, so he said: "Yun Shaoqing, there is no need to be in such a hurry to cover the coffin, it has not yet been confirmed that Yang rebels have been successfully interspersed, counting the distance, Yang Xuangan's traitors have only arrived in the Hongnong area today, Tongguan is still safe, and when the next step is confirmed, we will discuss who should be responsible before it is too late." ”
"What the general said is very true." Yun Da Shaoqing hurriedly nodded, and said in a heartfelt manner: "It's still the general who thinks carefully, at present, we haven't confirmed that the traitor has been successfully interspersed, Tongguan is still relatively safe for the time being, we don't have to rush to investigate the guilt of Liu Changgong and that Chen Yingliang, I hope they don't let the emperor down, and don't let the general down." If they dare to live up to the expectations of His Majesty the Emperor and General Yuwen, I, Yun Dingxing, will be the first to impeach them! ”
No one paid attention to Yun Da Shaoqing's words, and under their own hearts, this banquet naturally ended in a hurry, and after the appointment was made to send troops to the west, Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi and other civil and military forces in the eastern capital left the Chinese army tent again, leaving Yun Da Shaoqing to continue to chatter in the big tent Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang's no, take precautions to first detain all the basins that were lost in Tongguan on the heads of the unlucky General Liu and Chen Xiaozhengtai.
Out of the Sui army camp, on the way back to the imperial city of the eastern capital, Fan Zigai called Pei Hongce to his side, and while walking with Pei Hongce on horseback, he whispered to Pei Hongce: "Li Guogong, tomorrow you will lead an army to pursue with Yuwenshu and them, if Tongguan is really unfortunate, you must protect Chen Yingliang first, don't let them kill people, cut off your nephew and then put all the blame on him, and there is no proof of death!" ”
"Fan stays behind, won't you? General Yuwen, they're not like this, right? Pei Hongce was a little dumbfounded.
"This kind of thing, Laihu'er and Qu Tutong may not be able to do it, Yuwenshu and Yun Dingxing must be able to do it!" Fan Zigai said coldly: "Especially Yun Dingxing! Don't forget, this shameless thing once instigated the emperor to kill someone in order to get promoted and make a fortune! ”
Pei Hongce's heart sank, he quickly nodded, and sang softly, Fan Zigai told again: "Remember, you must keep Chen Yingliang's head!" As long as he can survive, the old man and Huangfu Wuyi will come to the table to intercede for him, and then you ask your two clan brothers to come forward and say some good things in His Majesty, and Chen Yingliang's little head can be saved! Although this little bastard is slick and hateful, the old man doesn't want him to succumb to death! ”
"Xie Fan stayed behind to care for his little nephew, and the next official thanked you for his little nephew first." Pei Hongce bowed his hand slightly to Fan Zigai, and said in a low voice: "Then what about Liu Changgong?" Do you want to keep it too? ”
"He doesn't care, it's a waste anyway, just die." Fan Zigai said lightly: "If Yuwenshu insists on finding a scapegoat to shirk the blame, Liu Changgong is a good scapegoat, and by the way, I will also give you your nephew as a scapegoat." (Liu Changgong: .......) )
………………
The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the next day, the morning sun had just risen, and the three main forces of the well-trained Sui army had been assembled, ready to set off to the west, Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi and other civil and military forces in the eastern capital surrounded Yang Tong, the king of Yue, personally went out of the city to see off the main force of the Sui army, and Pei Hongce also led a symbolic thousand troops out of the city, ready to join the main force of the Sui army, and joined forces to pursue the main force of the rebels in Kunhan Road.
Encouraged by Yun Dingxing, Yu Wenshu, who had already made up his mind in his heart, of course did not want Pei Hongce to pursue and get in the way, but Fan Zigai, who was also treacherous and slippery, moved out the small Buddha of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and asked Yang Tong to come forward and arrange for Pei Hongce to lead the army to pursue together, Yuwenshu was unwilling and did not dare to refuse in person - it was not that he did not dare at all, he really couldn't pull this face. In desperation, Yu Wenshu could only surrender his hand and obey his orders: "Obey His Highness's decree, please rest assured, Weichen will definitely try his best to join hands with Li Guogong to kill the enemy, and strive to kill Yang Xuangan's traitor in Cuihan Dao." ”
Yang Tong smiled at Yuwen Shuzhi with court etiquette, but Yun Da Shaoqing quietly pouted beside him, extremely contemptuous of the despicable behavior of Yang Tong, the king of Yue-the three main forces of the Sui army can easily crush the rabble under Yang Xuangan's command if they pull one out casually, and there is no need for the garbage army of the right Wuwei to help, Yang Tong insisted on sending Pei Hongce to lead the army to accompany him, making it clear that he wanted to take advantage of the credit.
Finalize the matter of Pei Hongce's expedition, the three famous generals of the Sui army were just about to order the whole army to set off, on the official road north of Anximen, but suddenly rushed to a fast horse, and immediately the knight was wearing a post man's uniform, and there was a small red flag on behalf of the 100,000 urgent military situation Tang Bao on the back, Fan Zigai saw that he was busy with the civil and military people in the Eastern Capital, and Zu Wei Cheng, the squire of the Eastern Capital Military Department, hurriedly stepped forward in person, took the Tang newspaper with his bright identity, asked the post man in a low voice, and then rushed back to Fan Zigai and Yang Tong and others next to him, and presented the Tang Bao and said: " His Royal Highness the King of Yuyue, Yu Fan stayed behind, it was the urgent Tang Bao of the Wangfu Jun of Taolin County, and there was a new development of the war situation on the Hongnong battlefield. ”
It was a matter of military affairs, Yuwenshu and Laihu'er and others, who were already preparing to set off, naturally did not give orders for the time being, waiting to understand the new changes in the war situation, Fan Zigai did not dare to slack off, and quickly took the Tang Bao stained with chicken feathers and opened it, and hurriedly only glanced at it a few times, Fan Lao's stubborn face became extremely ugly, and the emperor Fu Wuyi next to him knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Fan stays, what's wrong?" ”
"The king's house, the Ruxiang side passed the guò waterway urgently, and the traitor's partial division was divided into two routes, north and south, all of which crossed the ranks of our eastern capital right military guard, and seized the favorable terrain west of Hongnong." Fan Zigai replied with a gloomy face: "Wang Fujun also said, two days ago, the township soldiers of Taolin found that the traitors were interspersed with the old road of Qinguan, and Wang Fujun tried to contact our team of the right military guard to warn them, but because the traitors blocked the road, they could not send the news to Liu Changgong and them in time, and missed the opportunity to intercept. ”
Hearing Fan Zigai's words, as long as the civil and military officials present who had a little military acumen, all their faces suddenly changed, and the three old Qiu Ba, Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er and Qu Tutong, were so gloomy that they could wring out water, because they knew that before the Sui army caught up with the main force of the rebels, the main force of the rebels could also get at least three days to attack Tongguan! And even more!
"Liu Changgong, are they a step late?" Huangfu Wuyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked in a dry voice: "Is there any news about Hongnong?" ”
"Nope." Fan Zigai shook his head, "Whether it is Liu Changgong, Wei Xuan, or His Royal Highness King Cai, they have not contacted Wang Fujun, and Hongnong is far away from the Yellow River, and after the messenger sent by Wang Fujun went up the Yellow River, he never sent the news back." ”
Huangfu Wuyi's face became more and more difficult to see, but our Yun Da Shaoqing suddenly jumped three feet high, and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yue, Fan Liu, General Huangfu, this has nothing to do with you!" You have fulfilled your responsibilities by sending reinforcements to Hongnong, it is Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang who are derelict and incompetent, and fail to complete the mission you have assigned, which makes the traitors succeed and Tongguan is lost, and it is all their guilt! Xia Guan believes that His Royal Highness the King of Yue should issue a decree to behead Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang on the spot, and preach the three armies to correct the military law! ”
"His Royal Highness King Yue, Fan stays behind, Yun Shaoqing is reasonable." Yu Wenshu, who was worried about being implicated, also took the opportunity to say: "You have all seen that the teams of the left and right Yiwei and the right Wuhou have done their best, and the speed cannot be faster, it is Liu Changgong and that Chen Yingliang who are incompetent, which has caused a situation of urgency in Tongguan, and the crime cannot be forgiven." If His Majesty is held accountable, the two should be beheaded. ”
Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi and the others looked even more ugly, knowing in their hearts that Yu Wenshu and Yun Da Shaoqing were looking for a scapegoat to carry the black cauldron, but they couldn't exonerate Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang and didn't dare to exculpate - because Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi also had to find a scapegoat who was not good for the right military guard to lead the loss of Tongguan, otherwise they would have to carry this black cauldron. After hesitating for a moment, Fan Zigai turned to Yang Tong and said: "Your Highness, Liu Changgong was ordered to reinforce Wei Shangshu to block the traitor's westward advance, but the battle was not effective to lead the Tongguan to be urgent. ”
"Fan stayed behind, this time in Luoyang, General Liu can be regarded as a ...... of hard work." It was rare that Yang Tong did not completely obey Fan Zigai, and said hesitantly: "Is it too much to put the blame for the loss of Tongguan on him alone?" ”
Hearing this, Yun Da Shaoqing immediately misunderstood Yang Tong's meaning, and said that Yang Tong was afraid of Liu Changgong's family background and official position and didn't want Liu Changgong to carry the biggest black pot, so he hurriedly said: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, General Liu has worked hard and made great achievements in the defense of Luoyang, and he can't put the blame on him alone, and he should be given a chance to make meritorious atonements!" The key is that Chen Yingliang, this kid is the culprit of the loss of Tongguan, he was ordered to help defend Hongnong but let the traitors intersperse with him, dereliction of duty and incompetence, and neglect military affairs, he should be beheaded and questioned! No! This kid should be cut with a thousand knives and put to death! ”
"This old man is shameless, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard!" No matter how good Pei Hongce's temper was, he was a little angry, and said angrily: "Yun Shaoqing, put all the blame on a small clerk in the office, you can bear this heart, will the emperor believe it?" Tongguan is lost, and the first responsibility is a small official in my Henan Zanzhi Mansion! ”
"Li Guogong, what you said is wrong." Yun Da Shaoqing said-for-tat: "What does it mean to shirk responsibility? Tongguan unfortunately fell, and the traitors entered the pass, don't you need to investigate the responsibility of the right military guard army for dereliction of duty? His Royal Highness King Yue also said just now, General Liu Changgong has worked hard and made great achievements, does Li Guogong feel that His Royal Highness King Yue is not right, and wants General Liu to bear the responsibility for the loss of Tongguan? General Liu is the Tiger Benlang General of the Right Wuwei, Li Guogong wants him to carry the black pot, and it depends on whether the soldiers of the Right Wuwei agree or not, and whether Feng Yi and Liu agree or not! ”
"Then you ......!" In a fit of rage, Pei Hongce almost said that he wanted Chen Yingliang to carry the black pot to see if the Pei family agreed or not, but fortunately, Pei Hongce's city government was good, and he swallowed the words back into his stomach in time, so that the controversy did not further expand to the point of the gate valve struggle.
"Li Guogong, Xia Guan also knows that Chen Yingliang is your distant nephew." Yun Da Shaoqing said slowly: "But the law of the country is ruthless, Li Guogong had better consider the importance of the stakes, Guogong, you must protect your nephew, Pei Xiang is there ......." ”
"Urgent military intelligence! Emergency military intelligence! ”
The sudden roar interrupted the argument between Yun Da Shaoqing and Pei Hongce, and everyone who was thinking about it turned their heads to look, but saw that on the road from the north before, a post man with a red flag on his back came galloping on his horse, and he yelled from afar, "Emergency military situation!" 100,000 urgent! 100,000 urgent! ”
Hearing this shout, of course, Zu Weicheng, the squire of the military department, hurriedly rushed up to receive the Tang newspaper, but Fan Zigai, Yu Wenshu and the others were all shocked in their hearts, and said together: "Why is there an urgent military situation?" Could it be that Tongguan has been lost? Can't be that fast, right? Or is it that the defenders of Tongguan have surrendered directly to the traitor vanguard? ”
"It's over! It must be that Tongguan is lost! Yun Da Shaoqing slapped his forehead, and shouted miserably with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen and others are incompetent, Weichen and others have done their best, but the friendly army is not effective, so that Yang rebels and thieves have taken the lead in Tongguan, and Weichen and others are guilty-!" ”
When Yun Da Shaoqing looked up to the sky and howled, Zu Weicheng had already rushed back to Fan Zigai to present the Tang Newspaper, and before he could speak, the anxious Fan Zigai had already snatched the Tang Newspaper and opened it quickly, and when he hurriedly tore open the seal, Fan Zigai's wrinkled old hands were already trembling slightly. And after opening the Tang Bao and taking a closer look, Fan Zigai's pair of cloudy old eyes almost stared out of his sockets all of a sudden, rubbing his eyes in disbelief, and then taking a closer look, Fan Zigai suddenly blurted out and exclaimed......
"Old man, aren't you dreaming?!"
"Fan stays behind, what's going on?" Huangfu Wuyi, Laihu'er and the others asked in surprise.
"Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang's kid." Fan Zigai replied in despair: "Yesterday morning, Chen Yingliang led about 4,000 remnants of the armed guards to defeat the generals, together with the 700 **** under his command, to break the main force of 50,000 traitors in Hongnong. also captured Yang Xuangan alive, as well as Li Zixiong, the former general of the Right Wuhou. ”
It was extremely quiet, and all the Great Sui civil and military ministers present were dumbfounded, and then they exploded all of a sudden, and shouted together: "What? An army of less than 5,000, or the remnants of the left and right guards, defeated and defeated 50,000 traitors?! also caught Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong?! Really?! ”
"Fan stays behind, whose Tang newspaper is this?!" After being dumbfounded, Yun Da Shaoqing howled like a pig, "Really? broke 50,000 traitors with a defeated army of 5,000, and also captured Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong? This Tang newspaper was written by that bastard king eight lambs? That's an exaggeration, right? ”
"The bastard Wang Balamb who wrote this Tang newspaper is His Royal Highness Yang Zhiji, King Cai." Fan Zigai, who had already been on fire for a long time, raised the Tang newspaper and said coldly: "If Yun Shaoqing doesn't believe it, you can take it and take a look, His Royal Highness King Cai also asks us to enter the army with confidence, and completely annihilate the remnants of the traitors who have not escaped from Cuihan Dao." ”
Yun Da Shaoqing was dumbfounded again, and after a long time, Yun Da Shaoqing suddenly grabbed Pei Hongce's hand, shook it and said excitedly: "Li Guogong, Ling Nephew is really a pillar of talent!" Pillars of talent! It is really a blessing for the Great Sui Imperial Court to have Li Guogong and your uncle and nephew as ministers! Luck for the Son of Heaven! Xia Guan can be a minister in the same palace as Li Guogong and your uncle and nephew, which is also the first great luck in Xia Guan's life! Long live the Great Sui! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Eastern Capital! Long live the left and right guards! ”
"Shameless." Pei Hongce muttered in his heart, and his mouth was humble again and again, as if he had forgotten the unpleasant argument just now like Yun Da Shaoqing--Pei Hongce, who was tough-backed, was not afraid of Yun Da Shaoqing, but he just didn't want to completely tear his face with Yun Da Shaoqing--as the father-in-law of the abolished prince Yang Yong, Yun Dingxing Yun Da Shaoqing personally came forward to instigate Emperor Sui Yang to slaughter his three grandsons! With such a ruthless and brazen character, Pei Hongce, the old fritter of officialdom, is of course best not to offend if he can not offend.
"Li Guogong, don't talk nonsense, let your nephew enter my Zuo Yiwei, I won't treat him badly!" Yu Wenshu patted Pei Hongce on the shoulder.
"General Yuwen, there are enough fierce generals and brave generals in your left Yiwei, Ying Liangxian's nephew is still in my right Yiwei, it is more useful!" Laihu'er patted Pei Hongce's other shoulder.
"That's not right." Qu Tutong grabbed Pei Hongce's sleeve and said, "Ying Liangxian's nephew personally grabbed the biggest rebellion of my Right Martial Marquis, proving that he is destined for my Right Martial Marquis, and he should be allowed to enter the Right Martial Marquis!" ”
"Old Qu, you don't talk nonsense! Ahem, Chen Yingliang has been fighting side by side with my right guard, and the team he leads is all soldiers selected from my right guard's team, except for the right guard, he can't go! ”
