The name of Jin Shentong, the commander of the direct guard of the new army, Xu Ping has known it for a long time.

Zhiwei is a cavalry unit in the new army, and there are a large number of old Zhendong Marquis among the officers and non-commissioned officers, who are regarded by the imperial court and officials as Huangshi's pro-soldier family Ding team, and this kind of pro-Ding team is generally handed over to henchmen to command. At present, the post of commander of the new army is temporarily vacant, and the son of Yang Zhiyuan, the old captain of Huangshi's old army, is the commander of the direct guard Tongzhi (the chief adjutant of the direct guard), which can be regarded as the son succeeding his father. After General Yang Xiao took office, the first thing he did was to call his subordinates to meet, and he also toasted the old men of the uncles and uncles in the Zhiwei one by one. Xiao Yang said that he was not qualified, and at the same time sincerely asked these old men to give him more guidance so that he could be qualified for his position as soon as possible. Everyone praised Xiao Yang as an old-fashioned person and a talent that can be created. Few people in the teaching team mentioned Xiao Yang's name, and everyone behind it called him "General Yang's son".

Kim Shin-tong, the son of Chief of Staff Kim Khu-duk, was appointed as the commander of the Guards (second adjutant), and as soon as he took office, he immediately summoned his subordinates, but he did not toast anyone, but said loudly to them: "Gentlemen, please remember that I, Kim, sat on this chair because of my ability, not my background. ”

Soon, there was a quarrel between a direct guard officer and Jin Shentong. That man had made many military exploits and was the elder of Jin Shentong, but Jin Shentong did not hesitate to drag him out and whip him according to military law. Xiao Yang rushed to stop him when he heard the news, and Jin Shentong said in front of a large number of officers and soldiers of the Zhiwei: "I am the commander of the Zhiwei, and he is just a general, except for Brother Yang, no one can refute my words!" From then on, the officers and soldiers of the Zhiwei only knew that there was a golden supernatural power, but they did not know that there was a son of Yang Zhiyuan.

These disputes that happened in Naowei circulated in the teaching team, and everyone, including Xu Ping, felt that Jin Shentong was a little arrogant, but when it came to General Jin, everyone spoke in a respectful tone.

Jin Shentong's eagle-like eyes swirled around Xu Ping's body a few times, he took off his helmet and held it in his arms, and did not speak but looked at Xu Ping's banner again.

"Wooden battalion," when teaching the team, Xu Ping had heard Jia Minghe and Pu Guanshui refer to the four battalions of Panshi, Xuanfeng, Tianyi and Dongsen as the earth, gold, water and wood battalions in an affectionate tone, but this is not a formal title, only those senior generals in the old department of Zhendonghou would call the formation of the new army in such a condescending tone. Even General Zhao Jingzhi, who brought Xu Ping here, would use the regular name when talking about several battalions. Jin Shentong stared at Xu Ping's eyes and whispered, "As far as this general knows, it should be Zhao Shuize and Lord Zhao who are leading the army, right?" Where is Lord Zhao right now? ”

Xu Ping hadn't spoken yet, and Jiang Yizhou, who was next to him, had already said for him: "No, General Jin, it's this General Xu who is commanding our Dongsen Battalion." ”

Le Daxia also followed with a blind mix: "Yes, the villain and the others only know this General Xu, and they don't know what General Zhao is." ”

The other officers and soldiers of the Dongsen battalion around were gossiping for a while, and they all said noisily that they had not seen any General Zhao, and from beginning to end, it was General Xu Ping who led them to resist the rebels.

"Silence! Ben didn't ask you. Jin Shentong didn't look at these people, and always kept his eyes on Xu Ping's face: "Huh? General Xu? ”

Xu Ping leaned forward deeply, raised his helmet with his hands into fists, and reported to Jin Shentong: "Humble duty, the eleventh general of the fire battalion engineer team, the general Xu Ping, see General Jin." ”

There was silence for a while, and then there were shouts of incredible surprise. The loudest sound Xu Ping heard was made by Le Lin Le Daxia, and these sounds made him wish there was a crack in the ground in front of him. Jin Shentong didn't speak, just stood quietly, holding his helmet, and swept his cold gaze from the people around Xu Ping, and the noise suddenly stopped abruptly as if it had been cut by scissors, and everyone was silent.

Jin Shentong retracted his gaze to Xu Ping's body: "Xu General excused himself from courtesy, stood up straight and replied." ”

"Yes." Xu Ping stood up straight, met Jin Shentong's compulsive gaze, and explained in a fifteen-and-fifteen-ten manner: "General Qiqi, General Jin, is ordered to supervise the Longguang outpost. On the 27th, General Zhao recruited volunteers when he passed by the post of the lowly post, and the lowly post followed General Zhao out of the Longguang post as a volunteer. Along the way, General Zhao confessed his humble duties, and the purpose of this trip was to block the rebels who had broken into the defense line of our army in Texas, so as to wait for the fire battalion and direct guards to arrive and annihilate them. In the early morning of the 28th, on the way to the Dongsen camp to replenish the camp through Wuqiao, General Zhao was ambushed and unfortunately martyred. When General Zhao was dying, he handed over the talisman, fuse, and warrant given to him by General Jin to the humble post, and ordered the humble post to continue to rush to the Dongsen camp, and it was necessary to order the entire army of the Dongsen battalion to come to Texas immediately to complete General Jin's order. ”

As Xu Ping spoke, Jin Shentong nodded slightly, and the expression on his face became more and more serious. Xu Ping took a deep breath and said: "The lowly position is the commander of the firefighting battalion, and he knows that he is humble and light, and he will definitely not be able to mobilize the Dongsen battalion, so he disguised himself and changed into General Zhao's armor and clothing, and claimed to have a guerrilla position to the supervisor of the Dongsen battalion supplementary battalion, so as to mobilize the Dongsen battalion soldiers in this position. ”

When listening to Xu Ping's words, Jin Shentong began to shake his head non-stop, but he didn't interrupt Xu Ping until he finished speaking, and then asked: "How does General Xu know that if you convey General Zhao's order, the Dongsen Battalion will definitely not be ordered to be transferred?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Ping to answer, Jin Shentong asked for the talisman, paperwork, and waist card from his hand to look at it carefully, and then raised his head and asked, "How can the supervisor of the Dongsen Battalion Supplementary Battalion believe in your identity, how can he believe that you have a guerrilla position?" Even if you believe that you have a position, how can you hand over the military power to you, instead of General Zhao on the command? ”

Xu Ping said: "He claims to be the righteous son of General Zhao. ”

"Incompetent." Jin Shentong snorted: "Where is the supervisor of the Dongsen Supplementary Camp now?" ”

Xu Ping said gloomily: "Mr. Li Qian and Mr. Liao Qian were both martyred. ”

"Oh." Jin Shentong's face changed, and then he quickly straightened his face again and said, "Xu Jiang, can there be people along the way?" ”

Xu Ping immediately lowered his head and was silent, and Jin Shentong didn't urge him, just waited quietly. After a long time, Xu Ping reluctantly said: "Yes, it is the lowly adjutant Cao Yuncao General." ”

"Did he come to Texas with you? Didn't he report you for impersonation? Jin Shentong immediately asked: "Where is Vice General Cao now?" ”

"Deputy General Cao can't afford to be injured." After Xu Ping finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "Deputy General Cao was determined to report me from the beginning, but he was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so he planned to report me as soon as the battle was over." ”

"Take Ben to him." Jin Shentong put the helmet on his head and stopped talking to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping turned to lead the way, and the onlookers of the Ming army soldiers made way for him and Jin Shentong one after another, and then followed them from a distance.

Xu Ping and Jin Shentong walked back to the position one after the other, and at this time, Cao Yun was half-lying and leaning on a big rock, chatting with a few wounded soldiers and Lin Guangyi, who had just woken up. Xu Ping pointed out Cao Yun to Jin Shentong, who walked straight up to Cao Yun, first looking up and down Cao Yun's military uniform, the feathers on his helmet and the yellow badge emblem. The white feather had turned brown, and the helmet was covered in mud and snow. Jin Shentong frowned and asked, "The firefighting battalion engineer team, the eleventh general team, and the deputy general Cao Yun?" ”

Cao Yun looked at the golden divine power in front of him, and replied blankly: "Yes, it is Cao Yun who is lowly." ”

Jin Shentong waved his hand without looking back: "Mr. Xu, go down and wait for me." ”

Xu Ping lowered his hand and walked down the high slope, and the Ming troops around him retreated one after another, leaving him a large open space, staring at Xu Ping in the distance and whispering.

After a long time, Jin Shentong walked downhill, and Cao Yun limped and struggled to follow him, his face was extremely heavy, and he didn't dare to look up at Xu Ping at all. Jin Shentong stared at Xu Ping and did not speak. The next person on the mountain was Lin Guangyi, the commander of the four walls of Texas, who knelt down behind Jin Shentong, clasped his fists and shouted: "General Jin, President Xu has made a great contribution." ”

This shout resonated with many Ming troops, who knelt down and shouted: "General Jin is gracious, Xu Jiang is not malicious." ”

At this time, the direct guard cavalry had already pursued and returned, they didn't know what was happening, most of them dismounted and rested not far away, and several direct guard officers came over and stood beside Jin Shentong.

"Xu Ping, you are from the teaching team, and you are an officer of my new army, and you should have memorized the military law regulations a long time ago. According to the regulations of military law, anyone who pretends to be an official on the battlefield is punished with death. According to the regulations of military law, once the offender is discovered, whether he is the superior of the offender or not, the offender should be immediately executed, and there is no mercy! Ignoring other people's pleas at all, Jin Shentong reprimanded him violently, and after he was done, he paused a little and said, and his tone softened slightly: "It's just that Xu Ping, you are very lucky, the battle was over when Ben General found out, Ben General is not a military judge or your direct superior, and he can't apply military law to you." ”

"General-" Jin Shentong stopped after saying half a sentence, circled around Xu Ping for half a circle, and then spoke: "Xu Jiang is always an officer of the fire battalion, and now he has the right to deal with Xu Jiang is only your direct superior or military judge in the fire battalion, and I am going to ask General Shiga to decide on your punishment." What do you think? Or do you wish Ben would have handed you over to a military judge? ”

Jin Shentong's words raised a glimmer of hope in Xu Ping's heart. The military judges of the Forces nouvelles have always been iron-faced and selfless in enforcing military law, and their favorite phrase is: "There are extenuating circumstances, but there is no forgiveness for crimes." If it falls into the hands of military judges, they are likely to conclude that although Xu Ping has made military achievements, if he is indulged because of this, then it will be an encouragement to those who violate military discipline in the future. It will make officers and soldiers think that as long as it can bring good results, they can not abide by military discipline, or they can get extrajudicial favors for violating military discipline. Most of the military judges will still sentence Xu Ping to death in the end, and of course, after making the verdict, they will recommend that the senior leaders of the new army pay a large amount of money to Xu Ping's family.

But when it comes to dealing with it inside the fire battalion, it's completely different. General He Baodao may have been exempted from punishment because of Xu Ping's military exploits, after all, in addition to the feelings of comrades, the thinking of the leading generals is also different from that of the military judges, and the generals think more about what impact the punishment will have on the morale of the army, whether it will make the soldiers feel wronged, and affect their trust in the generals.

Xu Ping felt that Jin Shentong was deliberately giving himself a way to live, and he replied with relief: "I am willing to be dealt with by Lord He." ”

"Okay, Mr. Xu will stay here first, Lord He is leading the fire battalion to Texas, and he should be there soon, and he will go to see him." After finishing speaking, Jin Shentong stared at Xu Ping in front of him again: "Xu Jiang will not abscond and humiliate himself, right?" ”

Xu Ping hurriedly replied: "I would never dare to abscond in fear of crime. ”

"Good!" Jin Shentong snorted with satisfaction: "Then the general will not tie up President Xu." ”

After speaking, Jin Shentong looked back at Cao Yun again, and after the latter barely supported himself and descended the mountain, he collapsed and fell to the ground. Jin Shentong snorted coldly again: "There is no need to tie this up, I will see that he can't run at all." ”

In the end, Jin Shentong casually pointed to a few soldiers from the Dongsen Battalion: "A few of you go with Ben General and go to Lord He to be a witness." ”

After Jin Shentong led a few guards and the soldiers of the Dongsen battalion to leave, Xu Ping felt as if his strength had been drained all at once, he sat down on the ground with a long sigh, and smiled bitterly at Cao Yun: "I've hurt you this time, Lao Cao." ”

"At most, I will be dismissed from my military position," Cao Yun glared at Xu Ping: "If it weren't for the good heart of this General Jin, your life would be over."

"General Kim." Xu Ping muttered, the Jin Shentong he encountered today seemed to be a little inconsistent with the rumors he had heard in the past, which made him secretly strange in his heart.

"It's still General Xu who fought well." Jiang Ye ran over and squatted next to Xu Ping, and carefully looked Xu Ping up and down: "Xu ...... Is General Xu really not General Xu? ”

"It's not." Xu Ping, who was immortal in the catastrophe, laughed: "I'm just an engineer commander in the fire battalion, and there are many deceptions in the critical situation, Jiang Daxia is not to blame." ”

"No blame, no blame." Jiang Ye slapped his thigh and laughed: "General Xu's future is limitless, he is not a general this time, and he must be a general next time we meet." ”

Xu Ping smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Xie Jiang Daxia Jiyan, but it's not too late to wait until that time to call me a general, don't call me now." ”

"It's okay, just a nickname." Jiang Ye waved his hand disappreciatively, and pointed to the iron-fisted invincible Zhang Jiefu who was standing next to him with a smile and said, "Brother Xu is nicknamed 'General', just like Zhang Daxia's nickname is 'brother-in-law'. ”

Zhang Jiefu, who was originally smiling, was furious when he heard this: "How can Lao Tzu ever have this nickname? ”

Le Lin pulled his senior brother by the hand, and said to Xu Ping: "Xu is the chief young hero, this time, with a slim body, he actually broke the tens of thousands of robbers who retreated from the giant Kou Ji, and from now on he will definitely be famous in the world, so that the strongman will change his voice when he hears it, and our senior brother is here to congratulate Brother Xu." ”

Jiang Yizhou interjected: "Xu ...... Lord Xu, are you really just the head of the fire battalion? ”

Looking at Jiang Yizhou's confused expression, Xu Ping smiled: "Yes, and he is the commander of the engineer team." ”

"Hey, hey, a sapper commander of the fire battalion!" Lin Guangyi sneered and shook his head: "A sapper general is always so good, but my old Lin doesn't believe it!" ”

Xu Ping smiled and said, "So what does Brother Lin think is down there?" Xu is indeed just a small sapper general. ”

Lin Guangyi lowered his head and just smiled but didn't talk, Xu Ping pointed to Cao Yun beside him: "My brother Cao is also the commander of the fire battalion, and the teaching team with me is also a colleague of the same general team." If Brother Lin doesn't believe it, you can ask him. ”

Lin Guangyi raised his head to look at Xu Ping, then at Cao Yun, lowered his head again and laughed softly, and stroked the snow on the ground with his fingers: "Two years ago, my colleagues in the Qin army and I went to Liao to fight the Tartars, fought hard for a year, and finally were trapped by 200,000 iron horsemen. When the army was defeated, he saw the Liao army generals Yao Shuai and Wu Shuai stabbing each other with swords, Yao Shuai died when he landed, and Wu Shuai shouted to himself if he didn't die for a while; 'If the marshal is here, if the fire battalion is there, why is it here!' The sound of dying was like weeping blood. Even though it's been so long, it still seems to be in my ears. With the power of 200,000 iron horsemen, how can it be possible to resist with the strength of a battalion, hehe, I don't believe it, I don't believe it. ”

The sun was about to set, and a soldier who was looking at him from a high place suddenly ran down and shouted, "Mr. Xu, it seems that the fire battalion is coming." ”

Xu Ping stood up and ran quickly to the heights. A long procession winds its way along the official road from a distance. Xu Ping took out his binoculars, squinted his eyes and observed for a moment, then nodded again and again: "That's right, it's the fire battalion here." ”

Looking at the approaching Ming army, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel apprehensive again. Maybe it won't be a big deal, Jin Shentong's tone just now was quite exculpatory to himself.

Xu Ping stood on a high place, and many people also came up and looked at the distance together. As the team got closer, they could soon see the cold light of the weapons flashing in the setting sun, as well as countless fluttering flags.

"On our banner, there is a pit viper." Xu Ping straightened his chest and said loudly: "Wherever the snake flag of the firefighting camp goes, everyone will be shattered. ”

"That's right." Cao Yun's physical strength recovered a little, and he staggered to follow, and after hearing Xu Ping's words, he couldn't help but add: "The Northern Prisoners, the Southern Barbarians, the Eastern Widows, the Western Yi, and the Zhongliu Kou, all fled in despair. ”

"Fire battalion, fire battalion." Lin Guangyi's eyes suddenly had a look of obsession, he looked at the army and muttered, "Mr. Xu, I'm afraid there must be hundreds of generals in this fire camp, right?" ”

"Yes."

Lin Guangyi shook his head slowly: "Each one is the same as Xu Zong?" ”

Xu Ping smiled at Lin Guangyi and said, "None of them have shallower qualifications than me. ”

Lin Guangyi stopped making a sound, and looked at the army in front of him with Xu Ping. The fire battalion walked past them without stopping, and walked onto the official road towards Texas. Regardless of the officers and soldiers, everyone has a white feather on their heads, and even when the sun sets, it is still so dazzling. Xu Ping looked at the sea of white feathers standing proudly in the cold wind on the official road, they swayed rhythmically at the same time with the pace of their master, and thousands of officers and soldiers followed the drums to move their steps, and the sound of neat steps made the earth tremble.

"I don't know where Chen Yuanlong's thief went?" Xu Ping thought as he walked quickly to his mount, and hurriedly untied a backpack on the horse's back: "Since the thief has fled north, it is said that the thief Chen is not worth worrying about. If he was smart, he would have bypassed Texas and run back to his lair. ”

Xu Ping was chatting with these people just now, and he forgot to change into his military uniform, and he didn't remember it until the fire battalion arrived. Taking out the military uniform and armor that had been carefully hidden, Xu Ping carefully smoothed the wrinkles on the military uniform, tightened the belt vigorously, and tied the wrists on the cuffs. Then he took out a small cloth bag from the large cloth bag. This is Xu Ping's helmet. He had plucked the white feather from it to prevent it from breaking on the road, but now he had wiped the helmet before carefully inserting it back into the helmet and placing it firmly on his head.

During this period, Lin Guangyi kept his eyes on Xu Ping, and when he saw that the young officer had stopped and become brilliant, Lin Guangyi suddenly asked: "Mr. Xu, I also fought bravely to kill the enemy today, can I also fight with them-" Lin Guangyi pointed to Yu Shenhe and Jiang Yizhou next to him: "Go to the New Army with them?" ”

Before Xu Ping could reply, Lin Guangyi hurriedly said: "If I want to go to the new army to join the army, will the new army want me?" ”

"If Brother Lin wants to go to the New Army to join the army, I don't think there is much of a problem."

A small group of horsemen ran down the road in the distance, and the brigade that had left the fire battalion ran towards it, and one of the standard-bearers held a large flag aloft. Xu Ping patted the non-existent dirt on his shirt and pants, and walked downhill in the direction of the cavalry. Cao Yun also stood up and walked down the slope after him.

Perhaps seeing that Xu Ping's footsteps were a little hesitant, Jiang Yizhou shouted loudly behind him: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, General Jin's meaning just now is obvious, and there will be nothing wrong." ”

This shout caused a chorus of approval, and everyone cheered Xu Ping up before the cavalry arrived. What Jiang Yizhou said was actually exactly what Xu Ping thought in his heart, and he secretly laughed at his timidity.

Xu Ping and Cao Yun stood one after the other at the bottom of the slope, waiting for General He Baodao's drive. Behind the two of them, the other Ming troops lined up in a neat line ten meters away to greet the commander. The good men of Texas hid behind the soldiers of the Dongsen Battalion, looking forward as unobtrusively as possible.

Soon the cavalry ran in front of Xu Ping and Cao Yun, led by He Baodao, the chief general of Huangshi and his friend for many years, who had been fighting in the north and south since he was twenty years old. Behind He Baodao were several cavalrymen wearing the same white feather helmets as Xu Ping, and the feathers they inserted on the horse's head were no different from those on the head of the guard's horse, but the color was also changed to white. One of them held the flag of He Baodao's general high, holding his chest majestically. A little further behind him were Jin Shentong and several of his direct guard officers.

Without waiting for He Baodao to fix the horse, Xu Ping and Cao Yun hugged their fists together and leaned over to salute him.

Xu Ping heard the sound of a person jumping off the war horse on the ground, and then said: "Raise your head." ”

Xu Ping raised his head and stood with his head held high according to the requirements of the teaching team, this was the first time he had the opportunity to see the famous warrior in front of him so closely. It was the face of a middle-aged man who still looked very young, and his eyes were very clear and bright, as if there was still a trace of childishness in it that had not been completely taken off.

"You're Xu Ping?" There seemed to be a tremor in the voice on the other side, as if it was trembling because of excitement: "You are Xu Ping, who abandoned General Zhao on the battlefield, pretended to be an officer, deceived his colleagues, and transferred and commanded the Dongsen battalion as an officer?" ”

At this time, in Xu Ping's afterglow, he saw that Jin Shentong was also turning over and dismounting not far away, walking towards him, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, looking leisurely and complacent.
