573 was borrowed
readx;?“ Hey, the crisis on our side is temporarily lifted" Kino put down a piece of information and said to the adjutant: "The enemy's main general, Batus, has suffered huge losses because of the last battle with us, and after returning to the Western Han Empire, he was removed from military power and sent to prison, and we are safe here until they elect a new commander."
The adjutant smiled and said, "That's great, we can take advantage of this time to take a good rest, the soldiers are tired, and the reinforcements sent by the empire need time to adapt to our situation here."
"However, there is another difficult thing" Kino said with a wry smile: "This is in response to the old saying before, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Xiao Tian's deeds have spread throughout the empire, he seems to have become the god of war in the hearts of the soldiers, this is not because Dongguan is tight, their commander's letter wants to borrow Xiao Tian's use"
The adjutant frowned and said, "This is a big deal, and it is common for the two armies to reinforce each other, but I have never heard of one side borrowing the generals of the other side, what do they mean by this?"
Kino shook his head and said with a smile: "The Dongguan guard will be my old friend, his purpose in doing this is nothing more than to use Xiao Tian's courage to boost the morale of the soldiers, to tell the truth, the situation in Dongguan is not much better than ours here, facing an enemy several times his own, it is not easy to hold the pass, think about the dangerous situation we were in before, I can think of the situation they are facing now, so I can't refuse."
The adjutant thought about it a lot, and said in a deep voice: "Then you must think clearly, a young general like Xiao Tian, any commander will love it, in case they borrow it and help them win the battle, but they don't return it to you, we will suffer a big loss."
Keno nodded and said: "That's what I'm worried about, so now it's difficult, don't borrow it, you can't get over it, borrow it, in case this is a meat bun beating a dog, you won't be able to find a place to cry when the time comes"
……
"Damn, won't you" Ling Xiaotian looked at Kino with a reluctant expression, and said, "You can't send me around to fight because of my luck, I said Commander, I don't want to, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a shame for your old man?"
Keno glared at Ling Xiaotian and said angrily: "You think I'm willing, it's not because I can't pull this face I told you kid, it's okay to go, but you must come back unscathed, the position of the commander of my third legion will always be reserved for you, if you don't come back, I will never accept the new legion leader, you kid remember it for me."
"Hehe, that's of course" Ling Xiaotian said with a smile: "You are good to me, I know, of course I want to come back, this is where I joined the army, no matter what I do, I will always leave a deep impression on myself the first time, hehe"
Ling Xiaotian didn't expect it, he thought that Keno's words were just joking, and then he really didn't come back, Keno never appointed a new corps commander until he left the army and went home to retire, and later, this tradition continued, and the third legion would always have only a deputy corps commander, no corps commander
……
Three horses galloped on the grassland, and on horseback were three teenagers, they were Ling Xiaotian, Liu Tiancheng and Jiang Yicheng. Ling Xiaotian, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was sent to Dongguan, and Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng also had to follow, Keno had to agree, not only gave them three of the best war horses, but also gave them a lot of supplies, all of which were packed in Ling Xiaotian's Qiankun ring.
"I said boss, you said that when we arrived at Dongguan, what kind of position would the commander give us?" Jiang Yicheng asked.
Liu Tiancheng rushed in front of Ling Xiaotian and said: "The boss in Beiguan is already the commander of the corps, and when he arrives in Dongguan, he can only go to the next level, can they be cheeky to give a brigade commander or division commander a cheeky man, unless the commander over there has been kicked in the head by a donkey."
Ling Xiaotian said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what position you give, let's go over there, it's nothing more than to boost morale, as long as we're here, I guess the commander over there thinks the same way, so it's two different things to let us go to the battlefield, even if you give us a position, it's very likely to hide in the rear, because they won't allow my reputation to be damaged in any way, what is the best way, of course, if I do anything, there will be no chance of mistakes."
"That's so boring," Jiang Yicheng was a little disappointed.
Liu Tiancheng was smarter than Jiang Yicheng, and said with a smile: "Boss, are you what kind of person is content with pleasure?" I don't think so, since you've figured this out, you're going to Dongguan, which means that you won't accept such a fact, right?"
"Hehe" Ling Xiaotian laughed dryly, agreeing with Liu Tiancheng's statement.
The three of them galloped for several days, and then they saw Dongguan from a distance.
Ling Xiaotian now knows why it is Dongguan and why it is Beiguan that is attacked, because in comparison, Dongguan and Beiguan are more than a little bit behind in terms of solidity compared to Difficult Pass and Xiguan, and Dongguan is not as good as Beiguan, at least Beiguan has the tendency of the front, middle and rear passes to become corners of each other, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the short moat house on the city wall, Dongguan is just a lonely pass, and more than 100,000 defenders can at most have a quarter of the people who can be deployed on the city wall during the war. The remaining three-quarters could only huddle behind the walls in a hurry, but they could not exert their strength.
"Boss, Dongguan is worse than our Beiguan," Jiang Yicheng pouted and said.
"Whether the pass can be defended, there is no longer a pass, but the people who guard the pass" Liu Tiancheng disagreed, saying: "It is said that the battle here is as good as the Beiguan at that time, and it is not easy for them to hold on to it until now."
Ling Xiaotian didn't have too many thoughts, he rode his horse and continued to rush forward, striving to arrive before dark.
……
"Who did you say arrived?" A bearded general glared at the soldiers at the door of the big tent and asked, this person is Wang Honghuan, the commander of Dongguan, who is good friends with Keno, and the two joined the army together and lived in a tent.
"Report to the commander, General Xiao Tian arrived," the pro-soldier repeated.
Wang Honghuan was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "It's so fast, I originally thought it would take a few days to arrive, this kid's speed is really fast, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and take me there, wait, don't worry, you immediately go to gather the officers above the division commander, I want to lead them out to greet them in person, you don't know, I told the soldiers that Xiao Tian is coming, they are very excited, and their morale has obviously improved a lot, I said what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and inform ah, Xiao Tian is our honored guest"
After a while, a group of generals, led by Wang Honghuan, personally greeted them at the gate of the camp.
"Xiao Tian, we finally looked forward to you" Wang Honghuan warmly shook Ling Xiaotian's hand and said with a smile: "I am the commander here, I guess that old guy in Kino told you about me."
"Hello Commander Wang," Ling Xiaotian said politely: "Commander Kino often mentions you, saying that you are comrades-in-arms sleeping in the same tent, these two are Liu Tiancheng and Jiang Yicheng, my classmates, friends and comrades-in-arms."
"Hello Commander" Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng behaved decently.
Wang Honghuan nodded and praised: "What a hero is a young man, seeing you, I feel that I can't accept the old man, come on, let me introduce you to my generals here, they are all experienced people"
