Hua An looked up and saw that Wang San was wearing a military uniform and was running in the direction of Yuanmen.

"Wang San, my brother is back." When Hua An saw Wang San, he felt an indescribable happiness in his heart, and jumped up regardless of his image.

"The commander is back, Captain Zuo of the barracks is back, quickly remove the antlers." Wang San shouted to order the sentinels guarding the door.

Seeing that Hua An was his own and that he was also the commander of the battalion, the two sentries hurriedly moved the antlers away.

Looking at Wang San with an excited face in front of him, Hua An was both happy and a little puzzled, just now Wang San said, "Captain Zuo of the pro-military camp is back." He was amazed.

He remembered that when he left Jiangnan, he was still a team leader, and when he became the captain of Zuodu.

"Wang San, who are you talking about Zuo Duwei?" Hua An asked knowingly and asked softly.

"Of course it's you, brother." Wang San replied without thinking.

Although he had a premonition just now, but after being confirmed by Wang San himself, Hua An couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, there are such good things in the world, he went to the Central Plains and walked around, and when he came back, he was promoted to the next level.

"What a big pie has fallen from the sky!" Hua An thought for a while, and suddenly felt that there must be a reason for it, so he asked: "Why did you promote me to Zuo Du Lieutenant and tell me everything you know." ”

When Wang San heard this, he carefully recounted the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that when Hua'an exterminated the bandits in Maoshan, with a force of less than 100 people, he successfully attacked from the cliff of the back mountain, and broke the 5,000 bandits.

Although Han Qian was greatly dissatisfied with Hua An's risky behavior, he still truthfully reported the results of the battle to the imperial court.

When the imperial court saw that Hua'an and his warrior team were brave and brilliant, they decided to give a big reward, promoted Hua'an to the position of captain, and rewarded him with 100,000 yuan.

It's just that it takes time for the results of the battle to be reported to the imperial court, and the ministers of the imperial court still have to discuss and implement it, and the whole set of procedures has gone down, and a month has passed.

However, after Hua'an exterminated the bandits, he left Jiangnan within a few days and went north to the Central Plains, so he didn't know about his promotion and reward.

At this time, the paperwork and reward money were all placed in Han Qian's Chinese army account, waiting for Hua'an's return.

"Those soldiers who died in battle, do their families receive the bereavement they deserve?" Hua'an was happy, but he did not forget to care about his dead comrades.

"All of them have been received, and the soldiers of our Warriors who died in battle, each of them received at least 10,000 yuan in their families, and they were exempted from taxes for three years." Wang San replied.

"Great, I'm relieved now." Hua An nodded, turned around and pulled Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu behind him, and introduced: "These two are the two brothers I met in the Central Plains, Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu, and the hundred centaurs behind are all good men in the Central Plains, and they will be part of my Northern Expeditionary Army in the future, Wang San, you can arrange it." ”

"Really? Since everyone will be their own people in the future, all the strong men come in quickly. Wang San beckoned a hundred men and horses to settle down in the camp.

Hua'an pulled Han Xueyu, and Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu walked straight to Han Qian's Chinese army tent, and along the way, there were soldiers who knew Hua'an from time to time and greeted Hua'an warmly.

"Master, I'm back." As soon as he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Hua'an shouted loudly.

At this time, Pingbei General Han Qian was in the big tent, discussing combat matters with the deputy general Chen Xiong, and when he saw Hua An breaking in, he stopped the discussion, and the two looked up at Hua An.

"Hua'an, you're back, come over and let the teacher take a look." Han Qian stood up and walked quickly towards Hua'an.

The two have a deep relationship between master and apprentice, and they haven't seen each other for almost two months, and they inevitably miss something in their hearts.

"Good boy, my bones are stronger." Chen Xiong patted Hua An's shoulder and praised with a smile.

Hua An was actually shy for a while, he smiled wryly, and he didn't know what to say.

"Hey, why did you bring back a cute little girl and two strong men." Han Qian looked at Han Xueyu beside Hua An and Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu behind him, and asked suspiciously.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu's face, and his brows furrowed deeply, as if he was thinking about something.

"Why do these two strong men look so familiar, as if they have seen them somewhere?" Han Qian looked at Chen Xiong and said his doubts straight to the point.

"Huh! When the general said this, his subordinates also felt familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen it for a while. Chen Xiong glanced at Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu, and he also felt very familiar.

Hearing this, Hua An smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and turned around and motioned for the two to meet the two generals.

"Thunderstorm."

"Zhao Wu."

"Meet General Han and General Chen."

Lei Storm and Zhao Wu hugged their fists and bowed to Han Qian and Chen Xiong.

"You're welcome, two strong men, please get up." Han Qian and Chen Xiong hurriedly said politely.

"Thunderstorms, there are not many people with the surname Lei in the world." Han Qian thought for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, looked at the two of them, and said loudly: "Lei Yun, who are you Zhao Youde." ”

"General Hui Han is our father." Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu spoke in unison.

Han Qian and Chen Xiong were stunned when they heard this, and the two glanced at each other, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.

"It turned out to be the son of those two boys, no wonder they look so similar, haha!" Han Qian laughed as he spoke.

"Time flies, both of their sons are so old, and we're still alone." Chen Xiong said, suddenly feeling sad.

Over the years, they have been busy training soldiers and preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and the matter of marrying wives and having children has been delayed.

"The Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be home, when the Central Plains are recovered, it is not too late to marry a wife." Han Qian said and smiled, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

After all, the Great Jin is weak, and the Zhao State in the north is strong, and there has been no progress for more than ten years, maybe it will be the same in another ten years, the Northern Expedition is far away, and marrying a wife and having children is even more extravagant.

In fact, marrying a wife will not delay anything, but they are worried about the society and worship Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty. It was from the mouth of Huo Quai.

Seeing that Lei Storm and Zhao Wu were the sons of Lei Yun and Zhao Youde, Han Qian and Chen Xiong were naturally very happy, and they pulled the two of them to ask questions in the tent.

Of course, the most important thing is to ask some about Lei Yun and Zhao Youde, and when they learned that the two old comrades-in-arms often missed themselves, they all had tears in their eyes.

When Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu told Han Qian that he had brought a hundred elite fort soldiers with him on this trip, Han Qian immediately decided to incorporate these 100 people into his own personal barracks as his henchmen.

Although the 1,000 people in his pro-military camp were already full, he still had the right to use the extra 100 people as reserve soldiers in the pro-military battalion, and as a general commanding an army of 30,000.

There are three brigades under the pro-military battalion, each with 300 people, which are commanded by the left lieutenant, the middle lieutenant, and the right lieutenant, and in addition, the captain of the pro-military battalion also has a direct team with 100 soldiers.

Han Qian originally planned to use the reserve of 100 people as the reserve force of his direct team, but Hua An was soft and hard and pulled this team under his command.

In this way, Hua'an's left brigade reached 400 soldiers, becoming the brigade with the largest number of soldiers in the pro-military battalion, and naturally became the main force of the pro-military battalion.

The five big men chatted very speculatively in the Chinese military tent, laughing from time to time, but as a ten-year-old girl, Han Xueyu was not interested in their topic at all.

Half an hour passed, and she couldn't hold it back, so she grabbed Hua'an's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Hua'an, it's so boring here, Xue'er doesn't want to stay here, you take me out to play." ”

As soon as she called this, Han Qian and Chen Xiong remembered that there was a cute little girl in the Chinese military tent, and when they saw the son of their old comrade-in-arms, they were so happy that they ignored Han Xueyu's savings.

"Hua'an, who is this little girl?" Han Qian asked softly.

"looks so standard, it's definitely not the daughters of Lei Yun and Zhao Youde." Chen Xiong interjected casually.

When Hua An heard this, he carefully described Han Xueyu's life experience, as well as how the Dragon Teng Guards chased and killed Princess Bohai, and how he cooperated with Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu to save Han Xueyu.

The two of them nodded frequently, sometimes indignantly, sometimes sighed, and sometimes deeply pleased, and they were very surprised in their hearts that the person standing in front of them was actually the little county lord in distress.

"Without evidence, it is a capital crime to pretend to be a prince, how do you plan to settle the little county lord." Han Qian looked at Hua An, frowned, and asked softly.

"It's definitely not okay to stay in the barracks, the Great Jin military law, no women are allowed in the barracks, and it's also inconvenient for a girl to stay in the barracks." Chen Xiong first cut off a possibility.

Hua An thought for a moment, looked at Han Xueyu's pitiful gaze, and said, "If you go back to the master, I plan to take Xue'er back to the capital and hand it over to my father and mother to take care of." ”

In fact, he had already planned to do so, after all, he didn't have substantial evidence to prove Han Xueyu's identity as the county lord, and it would definitely not work to pretend to be the emperor.

In addition, the only way he can think of is to hand over Han Xueyu to his father and mother to take care of, and his father and mother like to be lively, especially a cute little girl like Han Xueyu, who will definitely make her father and mother very happy.

At the same time, it can be regarded as finding a playmate for Wang Ling, and when he is not around, Wang Ling will be accompanied by Xue'er, maybe he will be in a much better mood.

Moreover, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, in the face of the father-in-law's inquiry, Han Xueyu's sentence 'Xue'er has no home, Xue'er is now following Brother Hua'an, and Brother Hua'an is a family.' It made Hua An even more determined to bring Han Xueyu, a cute little sister, home.

"That seems to be the only way to it." Han Qian frowned and nodded, and then asked, "On the trip to the Central Plains, have you ever found out the news of Shi Hu's southward journey?" ”

Hua An nodded when he heard this, and walked straight to the huge military map behind Han Qian.

"Report ......"

"General Qiyu, the imperial court messenger asks to see you outside the tent."

Just as Hua An was about to open his mouth to report on Shi Hu's southward strength and strategic layout, a herald suddenly broke in from outside the tent.
