The Red Leaf Legion is much bigger than the Shadow Panther Legion. In addition to the training ground, there is also a training platform. Players can log in for a fee, and they can hang up on the training platform to automatically gain experience, and the length of time depends on the amount of gold!

Instructors, quartermasters, military mission release officers, equipment maintenance personnel, you name it. Viscount Twilight finds a few NPCs to trigger the quest, but no one pays attention to him, feeling like he's not looking for the right person. Ascending the steps of the training platform, I saw a special trainer below, and there was a simple explanation above the glittering name: Adventurer reception! That's you.

Trainer: "Twilight. Orange, why did you report now? ”

"Any questions?"

"Most adventurers come to report between level fifty and fifty-five!"

"I was on a mission to fight the scourge of the dead. The mission is still not over, but victory is assured and it is nearing its end! ”

"Not bad. We, the soldiers, must be task-oriented at all times. After reporting for the rank of captain, you can enjoy various benefits such as free food and lodging in various cities under the jurisdiction of Frost City, free observation and training of each legion, and a six-fold discount on the purchase of housing in Frost City. At the same time, take on some tasks of nearby legions. Okay, your registration is complete. Since there are currently no suitable positions available to you, you only need to complete the regular clan mission every three days to keep the above benefits. If you don't have time, you can also ask for leave in advance. ”

"Thank you. Is there a task list? I'd like to see it first. ”

Delivering letters, helping with cooking, and carrying supplies are all whiteboard tasks prepared for people who are messing around. The blue quest requires you to run farther: gathering potions, mining, and hunting a certain beast. There is only one type of golden quest: sparring. Go to the training ground and accompany any officer who is on the field for combat practice, as long as you don't die within the specified time, you can get a rich experience reward.

"Will the sparring mission kill people?"

"Rookie, it's the same as a flag fight. The difference is in the time limit, which is up to you. ”

"Then if I kill the other party, what will be the reward?"

A cold glint flashed in the corner of the special trainer's eyes: "You can only accompany people with military ranks and ranks that are not lower than yourself to practice." If you can defeat the opponent, you will be expected to get a promotion in the ranks. ”

"Yes, it's basically the same as the Shadow Panther Legion. Are there any purple-grade missions? ”

"Only the school officer is qualified!"

Picking up a letter delivery mission, the new captain left the Momiji Legion.

The primary location of the second copper orange bar is in the workshop area of Frost City, and the safety is OK, but the grade is a bit low. According to Boss Su's idea, it has to be placed in the aristocratic living area.

Shen Wanshan can't help it. Compared with the aristocratic district and the commoner area, it is not only the difference between high housing prices, but also the status of the nobility, or people will not sell it to you: "Shall we wait two more days?" Wait until you get a house in the aristocratic quarters? I can't do this! ”

The bars in the aristocratic living quarters and the bars in the ordinary residential quarters could earn gold, and the gap was not too big - the aristocrats preferred to hold various drinking parties in their own homes. However, the bar in the aristocratic quarters is conducive to adventurers expanding their network and is more likely to trigger high-level quests. Boss Su thought for a moment: "Let's go." It can also make money, it's the statue of Hermes, I'm not going to put it here, it's going to be a waste of materials. Wait for the bar in the aristocratic living area to open and launch this second statue there! ”

"Can you take the statue out for me to see?"

"How? I can't take it back and carry it after I release it! I'll go and meet with the local military and political governor first, and see if I can get the real estate in the aristocratic district! ”

Shen Wanshan didn't have a problem: "Then the investment in this bar is all mine, how will we divide the account then?" ”

"Nineteen open. The name is still Copper Orange Bar, just add a branch. ”

In this way, Shen Wanshan still took advantage. "Now that it's decided, I'll go out and start hiring bartenders, waiters, security guards, shopkeepers, and so on."

The supreme military and political governor of Frost City is named Frost City Duhu, and the prime minister of everything in the Western Regions is the famous Bowang Marquis Zhang Qian, this marquis is the highest-level high-grade marquis, and he is only one step away from stepping on the duke's step. It's just that Viscount Twilight is not qualified to visit high-level NPCs of this level at the moment. Below Zhang Qian, there are two middle-grade marquises: Zheng Ji and Geng Gong. Zheng Ji is in charge, Geng Gong is in charge of the army, and the titles are the same as Li Dingjun, but the administrative level can stabilize Li Dingjun.

Twilight. Orange Yu had a closed door in front of Zheng Ji's mansion: After the porter passed the word in, the word came out in a moment: Got it! It seems that this is a big official.

Geng Gong is different, there is only one porter and guard, he is dressed as an ordinary soldier, but his level is super high, and he is a sixty-fifth level combat position!

Shen Wanshan said with a smile: "In this general's mansion, there are only thirteen people in it, all of whom are sixty-five level combat positions, and the lowest military rank is colonel or sixth level sergeant major!" ”

"I'll go! How do you know? ”

"The gatekeeper changes shifts every day! Today's porter is called Fan Qiang, and he does not show his military rank. Only the main general Geng Gong will show his rank of lieutenant general when guarding the door! The title is a mid-grade marquis. Thirteen people, one reincarnation every thirteen days, no more! ”

Boss Su gradually understood in his heart: "What are the allusions?" ”

Thirteen soldiers return to Yumen——

Geng Gong was a lieutenant of Wuji during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty - a mid- and high-ranking officer position in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, slightly inferior to the general. Geng Gong led hundreds of people to garrison Jinpucheng (now Jimusar) in the Later Kingdom of Cheshi after the Han army to which he belonged returned from the Western Regions, firmly blocking the throat of the Tianshan Mountains leading to the Northern Xiongnu, and stationed his colleague Guan Zhong in Liuzhongcheng (now Lukeqin Town, Shanshan) in the former country of Cheshi, to provide mutual assistance to prevent the Xiongnu from invading the Northern Western Regions. However, after the Han Dynasty retreated, the Xiongnu began to attack again, and 20,000 people besieged Jinpu City.

Geng Gong was not afraid of danger, he used psychological warfare, stood at the head of the city and shouted to the Hun army: "The Han arrow god, among which the arrow must be abnormal." "Tell the other party that our big man's arrows are not ordinary, and once they are shot, life is worse than death. The Huns have always been brave, how can they listen to this? They immediately attacked the city, to the firing range, the city wall black pressure an arrow shot down, the Huns really cried wolf howl - Geng Gong let his subordinates smear poison on the arrow, once shot, the pain was incomparable, and then the wound festered, the historical records said that "the one who was captured by the arrow, the sight is boiling", this scene is indeed terrifying. At night, the wound became more and more painful, and the whole barracks was filled with wailing. The Huns were depressed, they didn't expect an even greater depression to follow: the defenders of hundreds of people dared to take advantage of the storm to come out and rob the camp! The Huns were unsuspecting, and were ravaged by a death squad organized by Geng Gong, "killing and wounding many people". The leader of the Huns couldn't hold it anymore, and his heart was "terrified", and he lamented: "The Han soldiers are brave, it's really terrible!" "Defeated.

Although the battle was a great victory, Geng Gong knew that the Huns would come back sooner or later, and Jinpucheng would not be able to hold on. He immediately brought his troops to Shule City, located in Qitai County, Xinjiang, today, which was a fortress built by the Han army. Sure enough, the Huns came again, tens of thousands of people couldn't beat hundreds of people, they couldn't swallow this bad breath, they had to step on Shule City!

The brutal siege battle began, and the Huns had an absolute advantage in numbers, but there were countless casualties, and they just couldn't capture the city. They then turned the assault into a long siege and cut off the upper reaches of the river. This trick was so vicious that the defenders began to run out of water, and at one point pressed the juice from the horse manure for the soldiers to drink. Geng Gong then ordered to dig a well to get water, and when it was fifteen zhang deep, there was still no water. Geng Gong bowed down and prayed, and a miracle appeared, "Flying springs rushed out, and everyone called long live".

The long siege continued, when the news of the death of the Han emperor came, and the Cheshi people also rebelled and attacked the city with the Xiongnu. A few months passed, and the city "was exhausted and poor, but boiled the armor and crossbow, and ate its tendons and leather", and the strings made of animal tendons on the bow and crossbow and the leather on the armor were all boiled and eaten, and the soldiers died one by one, but the fortress still did not fall, the survivors would rather die than surrender, and the banner of the Han army fluttered high. The Huns were also exhausted, so they made a trick and promised to make Geng Gong their king of the White House and find him a beautiful woman as a wife. Geng Gong said, "Okay, call your messenger." When the Xiongnu envoy came, Geng Gong took him to the city, killed him with a knife, and then roasted his flesh with fire. When the Huns saw this, they fell to their knees and cried. A thousand years later, Yue Wumu wrote the impassioned "Man Jianghong": "Zhuang Zhi is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood", and its allusion comes from this.

Geng Gong's move broke off the last illusion of the Huns, and they frantically attacked the city, wanting to kill all these Han people. There are fewer and fewer people alive in the city, but they are still holding on, killing every enemy that comes close. However, even with this insistence, it was impossible to repel the Xiongnu, and the last hope could only be pinned on Fan Qiang, a subordinate who had been sent to Dunhuang to seek reinforcements.

Just when Geng Gong was fighting fiercely in the Western Regions, Luoyang, the Han capital thousands of miles away, the emperor and the ministers were also engaged in a fierce debate: should you send rescue troops?

At that time, communication was extremely inconvenient, and a group of people from the opposition rescue army said that when we received the news, they had been besieged by the Huns, and by the time our reinforcements arrived, they estimated that their bones had already been gone. The opposition is headed by Sikong Wulun, and "Sikong" is an important minister. At this time, another high-ranking official, Situ Baoyu, stood up and tried his best to ask for reinforcements, and he faced the emperor and the civil and military officials, and said a famous passage in history, which is still reverberating when I read it:

"Now we put people in a place of danger, and abandon them in a hurry, and indulge in barbarian violence on the outside, and wound and die on the inside. If you don't save it at this time, if the Huns re-offend and become a coward, how will Your Majesty make a general? ”

This is the Chinese version of the ancients of "don't abandon, don't give up" - we big men, we must be kind to people and do things, soldiers go on expeditions, and when they are in danger, they don't care about them, externally they condone the brutal barbarians, and internally they hurt the hearts of those loyal ministers and good generals. If you don't save them now, if the Huns make a comeback in the future, who will serve the Han? So, be sure to save your own hero!

Emperor Zhang of Han ascended the throne at a young age, and his body was full of blood, and when he heard the words, he ordered troops to be rescued! In the winter of 75 A.D., the army of Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Shanshan, totaling 7,000 people, set out. Among the reinforcements, there was Geng Gong's general Fan Qiang.

In the first month of 76 A.D., 7,000 reinforcements rushed to Liuzhong City, defeated the Xiongnu and the combined army of the Che Division, "beheaded 3,800 people, obtained more than 3,000 people, and 37,000 camels, donkeys, horses, cattle, and sheep." The northern captives were frightened away, and the chariot division surrendered". Although Chen Zhong, the defender of Liuzhong City, had died in the arduous defense of the city before, the battle to rescue Guan Pet had been completely victorious. Whether to save Geng Gong north of the Tianshan Mountains, everyone quarreled again. The opposing opinion said: Liuzhong City is still hundreds of miles away from Geng Gong's department, and there is a Tianshan Mountain in the middle, and it is the season of heavy snow to close the mountain, and the rescue cost is too great...... Let's get out. But Fan Qiang stood up and resolutely said no!

Several generals were reluctant to continue to go north, and seeing Fan Qiang's attitude, they divided 2,000 soldiers to him. The history books do not record the difficulty of Fan Qiang leading these two thousand warriors to cross the Tianshan Mountains, only record the scene of their victorious rendezvous in Shule City, "open the door, hold each other and weep", these survivors who have experienced purgatory-like wars, nine deaths and life, can be called iron men, and they can't help but shed heroic tears at this moment.

The defenders of Shule City were able to set foot on the way home, and there were twenty-six people left. They returned south with reinforcements, but the way home was also full of murderous opportunities, with hateful pursuers and heavy snowfalls. In March, there were only 13 people left in Yumen Pass, "wearing clothes and describing withered".

But they are great victors.

In history, Zheng Zhong, the Zhonglang general stationed at Yumen Pass at that time, was moved when he saw the return of these thirteen warriors, personally bathed and changed their clothes, and asked the emperor for the thirteen warriors:

"Gong guards the lonely city with a single soldier, when the Huns are tens of thousands, for more than a year, the heart is exhausted, digging mountains for wells, boiling crossbows for food, out of ten thousand deaths, there is no hope of life. Hundreds of thousands of ugly captives were killed before and after, all of them were loyal and brave, not ashamed of the great Han, and the righteousness of Gong was unprecedented in ancient and modern times. It is advisable to be a lord and a strong general. ”

Don't be ashamed of the big man!

Reading it today, it's still moving.

Note: It's not a heat, the legend of the thirteen soldiers returning to the Jade Gate is what Tongcheng has decided to write in a long time ago. A lot of the content in this chapter is from Du Niang. Tongcheng is here to pay tribute to these Han family sons and ancestors; Thank you to Du Niang.
