Han Mo got off the horse and followed a team of people to drive the fat pig forward, occasionally asking a question or two, which seemed very gentle-8.)

When these soldiers saw Han Mo at the beginning, they were a little in awe, although the other party was very young, but after all, he was wearing the armor of the general of the Imperial Forest Army, and his status was noble, and he was careful when he spoke

After just walking for a while, everyone saw that Han Mo always had a gentle smile and was unusually easy-going, and they immediately became a lot closer, and they became a lot bolder when they spoke

"It's relatively peaceful on our side," the colonel said: "It's just that sometimes some spies are sent to visit the river, if you meet the Qingguo soldiers crossing the river, if you don't agree with each other, you have to do a lot of work in the early years, they died a lot, and we also lost a lot of brothers, but in the past two years, the Qingguo people are much more honest, and they dare not cross the river, and there are many fewer dead"

There has not been a major war between Yanqing and Qingqing for many years, but occasional friction on the border is naturally inevitable

Guarding the border, it is natural to find out the deployment of the opposing defenders from time to time, sometimes sending spies to find out information, and sometimes sending some lightly armed scouts to understand the situation on the opposite side

After walking for a while, I arrived at a camp, and saw that hundreds of soldiers had gathered there, scattered in the camp, and many of them had an iron rice bowl hanging from their waists, which was specially used for eating

When they saw the pigs coming, more than a dozen people rushed up, one by one, and shouted, "Brothers, kill the pigs and stew meat, come and help."

In the middle of the camp, more than a dozen cauldrons have been erected, and the firewood under the pot is also burning, hundreds of people are cheering, a large group of people came forward, and when they saw Han Mo, they all saluted respectfully, and then dragged the fat pig over, disemboweled, rinsed, and then stewed meat

When Han Mo saw these hundreds of people, he knew that these people must be just like Xiao Mu said, they were all sergeants who had performed better recently, and they had recorded their military merits, so he rewarded these people for eating pork

There were already people in the crowd laughing and laughing: "Those eight calves are feeding the bottom over there, our brothers are not bad luck, eating enough is the meat seriously, we have the strength to train hard in the next few days, and strive to feed the bottom next time."

As soon as he spoke, the crowd burst into laughter

I heard another person laugh and said: "Lao Hou, two days ago, you defeated six people in a row in the martial arts arena, just by that, you should be ranked in the top ten in the merit book, there are a hundred places in which way to go this time, why did you stay and eat pork with us?" ”

A heavy voice replied with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, that kid hasn't tasted a woman for almost half a year, this time it was specifically asked to me to give him a chance, so I gave him the opportunity Anyway, Lao Tzu is not worried about no woman, in the past two years, Lao Tzu has not had a girl for a month."

"Old Hou, then give me this opportunity next time" Someone immediately called: "I haven't been in there for four months"

The crowd laughed loudly and waited for the meat to cook

Han Mo listened to the vulgar words of these men, but he felt that the morale of these soldiers was really not bad, and the boring and hard life at the border pass was really not an easy thing to maintain morale for a long time

Xiao Huaiyu rewarded the camp prostitutes and pork, so that the competition in the military camp has always been maintained, and competition naturally has morale, which is not a distant reward such as adding officials to the knight, women and pork, really, for these soldiers, it is tempting, and it can also stimulate their fighting spirit to compete

……

Han Mo stood outside the camp and looked at the excited people inside, smiled and shook his head, and was about to get on his horse and leave, but heard a voice behind him: "Hey, isn't this General Han?" General Han is busy with military affairs, does he still have the leisure to come here to inspect? ”

Han Mo turned his head and saw Xiahoude riding a horse, followed by four cavalry guards, slowly walking over this way

"It's so late, hasn't the Xiahou General Soldier rested yet?" Han Mo smiled and arched his hand

Although Xia Houde showed disdain everywhere from the beginning of the meeting, Han Mo still respected these border generals with outstanding achievements in his heart

Everyone's personality will always have some flaws, just like this Xiahou general soldier, who speaks harshly, and has the arrogance of a general soldier all the way, but it is undeniable that the peace on the border of the Great Yan Kingdom is what these people exchanged for their blood

Xia Houde got off the horse and said with a smile: "Today is the day of the reward, it just so happens that the princess is resting in my Lianshui Pass again, the general is happy in his heart, but he can't sleep" Looking at the soldiers over there who are stewing meat, he said with a smile: "General Han usually eats and dresses in fine clothes, naturally he doesn't look down on this big pot of stew, but for the soldiers, this is a good thing, if there is no merit, they can't even eat this meat My northwest soldiers, all of them are brave men, they eat with their skills, and they have the ability to eat meat and play with women, I didn't have the ability to hide in the tent and go to sleep."

How could Han Mo not hear the sarcasm in his words, with a faint smile on his face, "My Dayan soldiers are really an iron-blooded army, and in non-war times, they are still highly motivated, and the general army is really a good commander."

Xia Houde smiled and shouted loudly: "You waste, General Han, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, don't you know to come and visit?" ”

His shout was like a huge thunder, and although the camp was very noisy, his voice was like thunder on the ground, which alarmed the soldiers who were laughing there

Seeing Charhoude, everyone hurriedly stood up, and soon they were lined up in several rows, one by one standing like javelins

Han Mo saw that this group of sergeants only stood in line in an instant, and nodded secretly in his heart, although this Xia Houde spoke harshly, but judging from the reaction of this sergeant, it was still good for this chief soldier to lead the troops

Xiahoude smiled and said to Han Mo: "General Han, since you are here, why don't you look at the soldiers, how are they compared to your Imperial Forest Army?" ”

Han Mo looked at Xia Houde and smiled a little ill-willedly, I don't know what tricks this chief soldier was thinking in his heart, but since the other party invited him to go in and take a look, it was not easy to refuse, so he could only smile and say, "Excuse me"

The two entered the camp side by side, and the firewood under the dozen or so cauldrons was still burning strongly, and the smell of meat had wafted out of the pots

"You can all see clearly, this is General Han, the deputy envoy who sent Qingguo this time," Xia Houde said in a loud voice: "General Han is the commander of the leopard battalion of the Royal Forest Army, and he is a first-class military general in Beijing Last year, Bozhou County was in rebellion, and it was this Han general who crossed the Ligu Mountains in the winter, went around behind the enemy, and beat the rebels by surprise and broke the rebels...... General Han is here today, and you can meet this young hero, which is your blessing."

Han Mo smiled shallowly and did not speak

The generals looked at each other, and then they knew that this young general was actually Han Mo who had broken through Ligu Pass

The matter of Liguguan is naturally spread to the world, and the soldiers in the northwest naturally know about it

At the beginning, the Ye and Wu families in Bozhou County rebelled, and the military situation spread, and the Qingguo people began to move at the border pass, and the Northwest Army was ready to fight, knowing that the Qingguo people were looking for an opportunity to invade the east, stick to the pass, and did not dare to relax the guard against the border pass

Xiao Huaiyu was also ready to transfer a small part of the troops to help quell the rebellion, but after the troops were sent to Yanjing, before the order to transfer troops was issued, the Ligu Pass was breached, and the family alliance army poured into the Ligu Pass, morale was greatly boosted, and the Northwest Army was able to defend the territory with peace of mind

Later, the soldiers heard that Ligu Pass was breached, and it was the young hero Han Mo who led a cavalry regiment of less than 1,000 people to cross the Ligu Mountains in the winter, which gave the rebels a fatal blow

When this matter spread, there were believers and doubts, and this was a topic that was discussed by the border officers and soldiers at the beginning

It's just that this group of soldiers didn't expect that the young man standing in front of them was the legendary young man

Seeing Han Mo's delicate face, many people already showed suspicion in their eyes

No matter how you look, this young man is not a figure who has made such great achievements

The little colonel who led the team to drive the pigs before realized at this time that the boy who was talking to him along the way turned out to be the legendary young hero, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue

"General Han, the soldiers are very happy to see you with such a blessing" Xia Houde said with a smile: "General Han's reputation for bravery has spread all over Dayan, and the soldiers are also deeply admired, why don't you teach the soldiers and let everyone grow?" ”

Han Mo shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord General is polite, you lead the troops well, how dare Han Mo mention the word advice?" ”

"General Han, everyone is a soldier, don't be like the literati...... The generals despise the most are those literati who just talk and don't practice, no matter how powerful their mouths are, they have a fart, and when they get to the battlefield, they are not competing whose fists are hard" Xia Houde touched the thick beard under his chin and said: "Soldiers, you have to show real skills, then you can be convinced General Han, here are all the elite sergeants of my officers and soldiers in the Northwest Road, if you can afford our rough men in the northwest, then you will give guidance, do you think it's good?" ”

Han Mo knew that Xia Houde was embarrassed by himself, smiled faintly, and asked, "But I don't know how Lord General wants Han Mo to advise?" ”

"General Ben selected a few soldiers from them, and General Han will try their skills, and see how much difference there is between the Northwest Army and your Imperial Forest Army" Xiahou De stroked his beard and said: "General Han should not dislike them for being just ordinary sergeants, so he is unwilling to teach them?" He pointed to a person at the front of the team: "They are not bad breeds, this guy, at the beginning, he had more than a dozen Qing soldiers, although he was only a captain, but the kung fu under his hands was very hard."

Xiahou De relied on his military merits and ability to climb to the position of the chief soldier step by step, for this kind of general, the most unaccustomed is the family officials who rely on the shadow of the family to add officials to the knighthood

No matter how strong and tall Xia Houde is, Han Mo looks too delicate and too weak, such a child of a family becomes the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, which makes this battle-hardened veteran feel a little unfair for the Imperial Forest General

He is a very bold person, and he doesn't care about Han Mo's background identity, today he just wants to make Han Mo ugly in front of everyone and suppress the prestige of this son of a family who relies on the shade to take the position

Han Mo groaned for a moment and slowly shook his head, "Han Mo doesn't like to work with people."

As soon as he said this, many people showed contempt, Xia Houde smiled coldly, and secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, he is an incompetent person, retreating from battle, without the slightest backbone of a soldier."

Just when everyone was full of contempt, they saw Han Mo's gaze in one place, and then walked over slowly
