Chapter 53: The Camp Carnival

The adults from the capital made great efforts to persuade the crying Ankang Mountain, and the stout attendants carried him back to the car with great strength.

Ankangshan tidied up his appearance, saluted the people from the capital again, and then entered the camp together.

The adults' personal guards accompanied them, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were arranged separately.

"You've worked hard all the way." A red-faced and thick-bearded general said loudly, "Please come here to rest, I have prepared good wine and meat." ”

He introduced himself as Sun Mingzhe, and Xiang Nan stepped forward to report his name.

"Xiang Nan?" Sun Zhe looked at him, "Is it the son-in-law of the Governor of Jiannan Province?" ”

Xiang Nan smiled and did not refute, but he did not respond: "Xiang Nan of the Xiang clan of Taiyuan Mansion." ”

Sun Zhe didn't care about his further answer: "Have you seen Governor Li?" Have you ever seen the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road? Isn't it really amazing? ”

Xiang Nandao: "I just got married, and I have military affairs, so I haven't been to Jiannan Road yet." ”

"Master Sun, I don't know what kind of good meat to prepare?" A companion asked behind Xiang Nan, "Is it wolf meat?" I heard that your Fan Yang army is brave and the best at hunting wolves. ”

Sun Zhe laughed: "There is no fresh wolf meat, but there is still wolf jerky." With a wave of his hand, he ordered the soldiers around him, "Take out the wolf jerky and give it to the brothers of Xuanwudao to taste." ”

The soldiers responded in unison, and Sun Zhe led everyone to a camp tent, while answering the soldiers' questions about how long have you been here, and whether Fan Yang is colder than here, Xiang Nan fell behind.

"You should follow them, Lord Wang." A companion laughed in a low voice with him, and raised his chin at Sun Zhe in front of him, a little disdainful, "You can be courteous when you come to Ankang Mountain, and you don't have to face this vulgar man." ”

Being courteous in front of Ankang Mountain is also because of Jiannan Dao, what is the difference between courtesy and vulgarity? Xiang Nan smiled: "Let's take a look outside." ”

What to see? The companion subconsciously looked left and right.

They marched in a group of men and horses in the camp, which was very large, with wooden walls, ditches, and drill grounds, and some soldiers were getting on and off their horses or fighting against each other.

It was a well-organized camp like a city, but the city was alive, and its layout was a battle formation, which could be attacked and defended, and the whole city could roll forward in an instant at the first command......

There are also the soldiers who make up this city.

They walked around looking at the barracks, and the soldiers in the barracks were watching them.

The soldiers who appeared in sight were all tall and majestic, or patrolling in formation, or squatting on the ground to laugh, or playing with the horses, but all of them exuded a rebellious air, and their eyes flashed with a dark light.

This is a group of soldiers and horses raised with fresh meat and blood, Ankang Mountain got the trust of the emperor, in addition to pretending to be crazy and stupid, there is also real credit, after Ankang Mountain went to Fanyang, in this area to clear the remnants of the Huns, shocked the Xi people, Khitan and other ethnic groups.

There is only merit in reporting to the court, and the process is only circulated in private, and the soldiers and horses of Ankang Mountain are thirsty for killing and murderous, poisoning and setting fire to deceive, and blackmailing the old and weak women and children.

In the past, I only heard about it, but today I saw it with my own eyes, and it felt even more different, Xiang Nan looked around, and did not avoid the eyes of the soldiers around him, and swept it away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your tent is here." Sun Zhe shouted in front, "The march is hasty, and the hospitality is not good." ”

Xiang Nan retracted his gaze and stepped forward past the soldiers: "Lord Sun, there is nothing better than good wine and good meat on this cold day." ”

Sun Zhe laughed and high-fived, the bonfire was lit, and the majestic soldiers came carrying the wine vat and the freshly dripping cattle and sheep, and there was a sudden uproar.

Compared with the smoky bonfires dug in the ground here, there are no neatly cut meats, and the pottery bowls even carry the wine of the urns directly, and the liveliness in the adults' tents is much more refined.

The tent was covered with exquisite felt mats, the table was made of gold, the silver wine cups and silver plates and bowls were placed on the gold table, and the cage covered with charcoal in the corner was also gold and silver.

It was a large screen made of gold, not simply made of gold, but made of feathers made of gold.

"I remember that this screen was built for you by His Majesty." An adult said.

This is a eunuch, An Kangshan is pampered and eats and sleeps beside the emperor, and the eunuchs around the emperor are very familiar, but they don't recognize this.

"The whole sea is rampant and domineering in the court, and I am not yielding to obscenity, so I can't serve in close proximity to His Majesty, and Andu Governor doesn't recognize me." The eunuch sighed.

An Kangshan cried again: "The thieves of the whole sea caused my majesty to suffer this ordeal, and they only hate that I failed to kill this thief with my own hands." ”

The adults from the capital persuaded each other again, and the exquisite wine and food that had cried and scolded were served, and the atmosphere in the camp tent became warm.

The adults talked about the Beijing turmoil that they could tell, and Ankangshan asked about the situation of the acquaintances in the capital who could ask, and talked about the past and present, and Ankangshan, who was crying and blushing, stood up with the attendants on both sides.

"I'm going to dance." He raised his hand and shouted, "I want to dance for Your Majesty, Your Majesty likes me to dance the most, Your Majesty can't see it, I want to dance too." ”

Ankang Mountain is obese but can sing and dance, and there were many performances at the palace banquet that year.

At that time, His Majesty was still in the court every day, there was a banquet in the palace every day, at that time the Quartet called the head of submission, at that time the court was clear and high-spirited, thinking of that time, and thinking about the capital at this time, the palace gate was closed by the eunuchs, and was driven away by a group of wolf-like soldiers with knives and guns, and the four adults present couldn't help but feel sad from it, stroking their palms and shouting to dance in Ankang Mountain.

In addition to being able to support Ankang Mountain to get on and off the horse, the stout fingers can also play the piano and pluck the drums, and for a time the music in the camp tent was loud, accompanied by the rhythmic shouting of stroking the palms and stomping the feet, the mountain-like Ankang Mountain was flying in the field, and the whole camp tent was shaking.

The whole camp was in a hurry, Xiang Nan stopped and looked here, and then looked back at the camp just now, where the drinking and eating meat were also drunk, and many soldiers in the camp ran over.

Elsewhere it's much quieter.

Xiang Nan retracted his gaze and looked left and right, over a wooden wall, over a drainage ditch, and came to another camp tent in the camp, where there was a stable, and another camp tent, with few torches, was where the baggage was.

Xiang Nan walked silently, lifted a top of the camp tent and looked in, silently calculated in his heart, and his face became more and more solemn, these burdens did not look like a hurried march.

At that time, it was a great urgency for the holy decree to invite the guards to enter Beijing to rescue the driver, and the guards must be light and simple, and they should be like the Zhenwu army led by Wu Ya'er, who lacked food, clothing, food, and slept in the open.

The surviving soldiers and horses of Henan Province tell that when the Zhenwu army arrived at the gate of the capital, it was like a group of beggars.

Also, it doesn't look like these burdens are just for the soldiers and horses in the camp.

Xiang Nan stood up and looked into the dark night, there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, it was a team of patrolling soldiers coming, he deftly shuttled between the camp tents to avoid, stopped in front of a camp tent and opened it to enter, through the torches to see that there were flags placed in it, marching flags, flags of their own guards, colorful flags to open the way to meet the battle, etc., just ......

Xiang Nan leaned over and pulled a flag from his feet, and the light and shadow behind him shook and shone a few big characters on it, begging the rebel minister Quan Hai Luo Shiqing.

The previous holy decree was issued by the whole sea, and the crusade was against Cui Zheng, why did Ankang Mountain create such a flag?

"Who?"

There was a shout behind him, and torches followed, illuminating the tent, and the night wind made the tent rattle.

The soldiers on patrol came over and looked left and right, but there was no one in sight, and they reached out and pressed the curtain of the tent that had been cracked.

"This tent is broken, let people fix it."

"You don't need to fix it, you won't need a tent soon."

Laughter in the night breeze is low and noisy.

The noise in the tent dissipated as the music stopped, and An Kangshan was held by the attendants at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, and let out a hearty laugh.

There were also applause and cheers all around.

"Andutu danced so well." An adult stood up and walked up to him with a glass of wine, "Andu Du Shicai said that it is a pity that Your Majesty can't see it, I have good news for you, Your Majesty invites you to enter Beijing, and you will be able to dance in front of Your Majesty immediately." ”

An Kangshan looked at him and said, "Really? Lord Qi, what I thought I wanted came true? ”

The one who was called Lord Qi nodded with a smile and handed over the wine glass: "Andudu, please drink this glass of wine to celebrate." ”

An Kangshan laughed and took the wine with the support of the attendant.

"Also, Andudu, why don't you see Lord Zhao Lin Zhao?" Lord Qi looked around and asked.

An Kangshan sighed, and also looked around to call people: "Go and invite Lord Zhao here." ”

Didn't you come?

Two generals responded by turning around and going out, and Lord Qi looked at Ankang Mountain to continue the topic of talent: ".... Don't worry about Fan Yang's side governor, Lord Youge, Lord Wang. He gestured to the other two in the seat.

The two of them nodded to Ankang Mountain.

"They'll take care of it for you." Lord Qi said, and then looked at An Kangshan and sighed, "You can go to the capital quickly, Your Majesty needs you very much now, and the court also needs you, you don't know how much better that Wu Ya'er is than Quanhai." ”

"Wu Ya'er?" An Kangshan raised his wine glass, "The young people now are really powerful." ”

Lord Qi shook his head: "What's amazing, I'm not sensible at all." ”

The door of the tent was opened, and the two generals who had walked out earlier came in: "Lord Zhao is here." ”

Lord Qi stopped talking and looked, but no one walked in.

What about people?

The general standing at the door raised his hand, and the thing he was carrying in his hand smashed towards Lord Qi.

Lord Qi was caught off guard and subconsciously reached out to catch it, first the rancid smell between his noses, and then he looked down and saw that a rotten face on a human head was facing him, and there were maggots wriggling in it in the winter.

Lord Qi let out a scream, and fell to his knees with weak legs.

Deafening laughter rang out from the tent.

An Kangshan put the wine glass to his lips and raised his head to drink it all.
