Chapter 56: Going North to the Central Plains

The days accompanied by beauties, time always flies, two days have passed, and when I think that the master still has important tasks to hand over to him, Hua'an can't stay anymore, after all, only by performing tasks can he make meritorious service, meritorious service can be promoted, promotion can be a general, only by being a general can he realize his dream.

With reluctance, Hua'an left the capital and rode his horse to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

#######

"Stab, hook, up, back."

Han Qian's battalion of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the main general Han Qian, is personally training soldiers in the school field.

Hua An dismounted and walked behind Han Qian, and said softly, "Master, I'm back." ”

Han Qian looked back at Hua An and asked, "What happened on the way, it took so many days to come back." ”

Hua An downplayed what he encountered on the road to Han Qian, Han Qian nodded, and said indifferently: "I see, okay, you come with me." ”

Han Qian said and brought Hua'an to the big tent of the Chinese army, pointed to the huge military map hanging in the tent, and said leisurely: "Hua'an, you see, these cottages are the internal response of the Hu people in the rear of my Great Jin, and now they have been basically cleared by our army, and the Hu people's temporary attack plan must be frustrated, but the Hu people will not be willing to fail, after a few months of adjustment, they will definitely send troops to attack our Great Jin, as for the strength and the generals who lead the troops, it is unknown for the time being." ”

"The master wants me to investigate the strength of the Hu people and the generals who led the troops." Hua An interjected.

Han Qian nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other can survive a hundred battles, and only by understanding the deployment of the Hu people's forces can we deal with it calmly." ”

In fact, Han Qian's purpose for letting Hua'an go to the Central Plains is to experience Hua'an, and at the same time let Hua'an personally experience the customs of the Central Plains and the living conditions of the current people.

"When to go." Huaan obviously will not refuse this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Binggui is fast, set off early tomorrow morning, and this time, you are single and go deep into the Central Plains, you must be careful in everything, and if possible, help the master inquire about a few old people."

Hua An was puzzled: "What kind of old people does the master have in the Central Plains, why didn't they cross the river to the south." ”

Han Qian frowned, and said lightly: "Back then, the court was infighting, General Zu Ti died of grief, and no one in our army could match the leader of the Hu people, Shi Le, so he had to retreat to the Jianghuai area, but most of the generals were from the Central Plains, and many generals would rather die than give up their hometowns, they disobeyed the military order and led their troops into the depths of the mountains and rivers to hide, and from time to time went down the mountain to harass the peace of the Hu people. ”

"Who are the masters going to inquire?" Hua An stepped forward and asked eagerly.

Han Qian raised his head and sighed, and said leisurely: "There were three generals under the command of the division back then, Lei Yun, Zhao Youde, and Chen Xiong, when they retreated from Jianghuai, only Chen Xiong followed, Lei Yun and Zhao Youde violated the order and led thousands of cronies to cross the Yellow River north, and there has been no news since then. ”

"The two disobeyed the order and went north without permission, will they take refuge in the Hu people?" Hua An frowned and wondered.

"No, absolutely not." Han Qian's eyes were red, staring at Hua An, and said affirmatively: "Lei Yun, Zhao Youde, Weishi, and Chen Xiong are all life and death brothers who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they are by no means greedy for life and fear of death, praying for wealth and nobility, they are all tough guys, they must not bear to leave the people of the Central Plains, so they do not hesitate to disobey the general's order." ”

Hua An listened and nodded thoughtfully.

Han Qian paused slightly, and then said: "Back then, our Northern Expeditionary Army was lone and deep, and the army often ran out of food, and the people of the Central Plains were hungry to feed us with the food they saved, but we failed to recover the Central Plains. ”

After Han Qian finished speaking, there were faint traces of tears in his eyes.

When Hua An heard this, he was also filled with righteous indignation, frowned and hugged his fists and said: "Master rest assured, Hua An will definitely live up to his mission, the Central Plains is the country of my Great Jin, and sooner or later it will be taken back." ”

"Alright, you go down and rest first." Han Qian waved his hand at Hua'an.

"Retire in vain." Hua An clenched his fists and turned to leave.

#######

Hua'an, who returned to the military tent, began to pack his bags, although he didn't leave until the next morning, but Hua'an had never been to the Central Plains, and he didn't know the customs of the Central Plains.

"Brother Hua An, why did the Lord only let you go alone, the Central Plains is full of Hu people, this is too dangerous."

"Yes! Team Zheng, I Tie Niu also want to go to the Central Plains for a visit, you tell the master general. ”

Wang San, Tie Niu saw that Hua'an was packing up and came over to express their opinions, obviously they also wanted to follow Hua'an to the Central Plains.

Hua'an naturally knows the danger of this trip, and the more people there are, the bigger the target, and the easier it is to attract attention.

"No, this time I was ordered by the lord to carry out a confidential mission, the fewer people who know, the safer, you guys stay in the barracks for training honestly, rest assured, within three months, I will definitely come back."

"It's going to take three months, so long."

Wang San and Tie Niu both exclaimed.

Hua An said with a smile: "The Central Plains is very far away, this is still the speed of horseback riding, if it is on foot, it may take a year and a half." ”

"My goodness, the Central Plains is so big."

Iron Bull's eyes widened.

"You think the Central Plains is your family's small courtyard, palm-sized land." Hua An said and glanced at Tie Niu.

Tie Niu smiled wryly, walked up to Hua An, and whispered: "Team Zheng, what confidential task will the Lord let you perform, sue the two of us, and we promise not to say it." ”

"Promise, what guarantee do you take, just your loud voice, suing you is equivalent to suing the whole world." Hua An reprimanded angrily.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Tie Niu scratched his head embarrassedly, and said seriously: "Team Zheng, I won't inquire, you have to promise me that within three months, you will come back alive." ”

Hua An frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "If this team were so easy to die, they would have died ten times or eight times, and they could still stand in front of you and go back to sleep." ”

"Hehe, the team is resting earlier."

"Brother Hua An, I'm going too."

Wang San and Tie Niu greeted him, and then turned around and left Hua'an's tent.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Hua An smiled and shook his head, he understood that these two people were concerned about themselves, and their hearts had always been warm, in the military camp, the happiest thing was the concern of their comrades, Hua An was obviously happy.

#######

Early the next morning, Hua An carried his luggage, stepped on his war horse, and left the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army under the send-off of Han Qian, Wang San, Tie Niu and others, and embarked on the road north to the Central Plains alone.

Along the way, Hua An looked back behind him from time to time, and a feeling of nostalgia came to his heart, although he understood that going to the Central Plains was a good time to experience life and increase experience, but that involuntary nostalgia always plagued his thoughts.

He kept telling himself that a good man has ambitions in all directions, and he must get rid of this lovesickness, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't let go.

Looking at the vast and majestic river, Hua An dismounted and dug a lump of soil under his feet and put it in his pocket, and walked straight to the ferry.

The river is very large, the ferry is very small, Hua'an's one person and one horse occupy the entire cabin, the swaying captain stands at the stern of the ferry and works hard, but Hua'an stands at the bow and enjoys the beauty on both sides of the river.

Perhaps because of the morning, the wide river surface is shrouded in a layer of white clouds, like a fairyland on earth, the sound of the endless waves, majestic and high-pitched, the sound moistens into the heart of Hua'an.

"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the people of the ages."

"Rocks pierce the air, stormy waves shoot cases, and thousands of piles of snow are rolled up."

Hua'an was infected by the momentum of the river for a while, and unconsciously chanted a poem from later generations,

Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia" is so majestic and high-pitched, and the swaying captain was also infected by Hua'an's poems, and he praised while shaking the oar: "Childe is really good, although the old man can't understand the meaning of Childe's words, but by feeling that Childe must be a person with lofty ideals in the world, and has the desire to save the people of the world." ”

"Hahaha." Hua An was praised for being in a good mood, looked at the man with gray hair, bent down and said: "Who is the old man, Hua An is polite." ”

"Humility and courtesy are even more rare." The captain said excitedly: "Gongzi looks at it highly, the old man is just a captain in the river, not a master, but he has been ferrying here for decades, and he has come into contact with too many people, and he has slowly developed a pair of discerning eyes, and he can recognize heroes the most, hahaha!" ”

The old man was also a cheerful man, and he laughed when he talked about the rise.

"In the past, there was Bole who knew thousands of horses, and now there are heroes who know heroes, and the old man is comparable to Bole, and he is really a master." Hua An praised it, paused, and asked: "The old man has the ability to recognize people, and he can see whether Hua An is from a background. ”

The captain squinted at Hua An, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said quietly: "Looking at the appearance of the son, he is tall and burly, and his eyes are bright, this is a sign of Wuqu Xing, and the son must be noble." Looking at the momentum and body shape of the son, if the old man expected to be good, the son should be a person in the army, and he is a general who leads the army. ”

After speaking, the captain stared at Hua An, waiting for Hua An's answer.

When Hua An heard this, he was shocked, and thought to himself, this captain really has a little ability to know people, and he can guess that he is a person in the army, although he is only a team leader, but in terms of strength, Hua An believes that he definitely has the strength of a general. As for the background, Hua An only knew that his father Huagui was a carpenter, and he didn't know what his ancestors did.

Touching the Qingyu Sword in his hand, Hua An frowned, it is impossible for ordinary people to have such a famous sword, what did the ancestor do, could he really be from a famous family. If he is really a famous family, then which celebrity is his ancestor, Hua An frowned and fell into deep contemplation.
