And outside the north city wall of the round city, fences and antlers are set up on both sides of the camp gate, and groups of men and horses patrol around, carefully guarding against the fine work of the steppe people mixed in, in the camp is an endless military tent, the smell of horse manure and the smell of human sweat are mixed together, and the warm and dry smoke people.

This is the camp of the North Camp of the Jinzhou State Army, at the order of the General Jinzhou, the North Camp Camp, which was originally only dozens of miles away from the cities in the north, quickly pulled out the camp and retreated south, and the border city of the pass that could still be held did not wait for the long-awaited state army to rush to help, and fell one after another in the torment and waiting ranging from a few days to more than ten days, according to a very small number of people who escaped, the barbarians did not let go of any of the old and young in these city passes, not to mention the soldiers of the imperial guard, and the steppe people counted their military merits by ear....

The soldiers who had just joined the army were all shocked by the words of these routs, and that night more than 30 people escaped from the battle and were discovered by the captain who was patrolling the night, and the crime was beheaded, but it was just when the war was about to be fought, and even the death row prisoners and felons in the city were put forward to form a team, and these were all young 30 people who were also arrested and sent to the well-guarded prisoner camp, waiting to be the team that dared to die.

"Since you have entered the barracks, please obey the dispatch of General Jinju!" In the noisy military tent, the voice of the burly captain was quickly annihilated, and the few people around him were still interested in looking back at him, and the captain's face was flushed, but he didn't want to attack, he just snorted coldly, and took a few people from the Wu and Dart Bureau to the front of the military tent.

Some people next to the seats were sharp-eyed, and when they saw the outfits of Wu and the dart masters, they all came up to report to the masters, and the two old dart masters also saluted one by one, as if they were very familiar.

"Little Brother Wei, it's not that the old man said, our Wuhe Dart Bureau is in Jiangzhou, no matter the underworld or the white way, everyone is willing to give us three points of thin noodles. After one of the two old dart masters met the last person again, he turned his head and explained with a smile to Wei Changpan, "To do the dart game, what you pay attention to is that you have many friends and a wide range of contacts. ”

Another old dart master was a dart with Wei Changpan before, and he played a good hand, but he was a straightforward and fast-talking temperament, "It's nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to make their own sect and the Jinzhou general familiar with each other, who doesn't know that the new Jinzhou general was also a martial artist, and later took the road of martial arts, and won the champion when he performed martial arts in front of the palace, so he could be regarded as entering the military world." ”

"But it's also evil. Another veteran dart master added, "I have been pressed in the position of Bing Cao to join the army for many years, and in the past two years, I have been on the rise of the sky, and I have been sitting on the general of our Jinzhou in one go, and I am not bad at governing the army. ”

The casualties of the Yao army in the battle in the north of the city this spring were unprecedented after the founding of the country, and it was a battle of the emperor's personal expedition, and it was also repeatedly deduced by the military department in advance, so it should be a stable victory, but now that it is lost, someone must bear the responsibility for this crime.

The one who was thinking about the northern expedition was undoubtedly the one on the dragon chair of Da Yao, but the angry officials could not do anything to His Majesty the Emperor no matter what, so they pointed the finger at the old Jinzhou general, I don't know where these long-time officials in the capital learned that the old Jinzhou general failed to deliver the news to the military department at the first time when the barbarian army was moving south, let alone personally sat in the military camp to command, which undoubtedly made these officials as excited as flies that saw blood.

The wording on the seal is extremely fierce, and between the lines, this old general who has guarded the land of Dayao in the north of Xinjiang for decades is derogatory to the moth who collaborates with the enemy and treason, and wants to kill him quickly.

When the controversy in the temple rose to the highest point, the news that the old general of Jinju had died on the sickbed at his home in Hewonseong reached the capital, and the officials let out bursts of sneers after a short silence.

In the end, the Ministry of Rites of Dayao agreed to take Wu Min as the nickname, and did nothing to hurt the people when the country was in trouble, even if it was in the first place in the evil slander.

Or the military department Shangshu submitted, Jinzhou, the old general handed over the old fantasy in two years, claiming that the sick body was weak, and it was really unbearable to command the soldiers and horses to resist the barbarians to the south, but the military department Shangshu out of consideration for the stability of the Jinzhou garrison, in front of the emperor Chen said the pros and cons, the latter made a decision, this veteran who has been defending for decades still needs to wait for another three years, and wait for the army of the Northern Expedition to be ready, and then resign to the old.

No one dared to accuse the emperor of his faults, and even the officials, who have always been known for their courage to speak out, did not want to talk more about the emperor's defeat in the north, which was tantamount to seeking a dead end for his official career.

Nian in this old general garrison Jinju for half a lifetime has never had any big mistakes, the Ministry of Rites after deliberation for the second time to submit the name according to the law is just a stable middle, and there is still a lot of distance from the beauty, but it can be a compromise ending that makes the officials shut up, and the martial arts halls in the temple are also satisfactory.

The position of the general of Jinju is vacant, but it is a hot potato, and the clear-eyed generals in the government and the opposition know that the barbarians' plundering this time is far from achieving the expected results, and the next southern invasion is bound to be in the near future.

A newly promoted general was ordered to take over as the general of Jinju, and in terms of grade, he was directly promoted to one and a half grades, and he could change from a Beijing official to a general who guarded one side, which was really unpredictable.

Most people's thoughts were verified this winter, when in the fifth winter of Emperor Yao Lie, the barbarians marched south, intending to use Jinju as a springboard to conquer a wider land and population.

However, the general's abandonment of the defenders of the northern border pass is really a bit chilling. Someone beside him lowered his voice and said, "Otherwise, depending on the original intention of those masters and masters, it is not too much to raise all the masters of the sect in person, and they will not only send some arrogant young people to experience it like now." ”

There were nearly a hundred people sitting in the wide military tent, noisy like a vegetable market, several old people with heavy weights were frowning, and the young people boasted to each other about their kung fu skills, and even cleared a piece of ground compared to the blades....

Jinju is still martial and has a bold atmosphere, and there are not many martial artists who really take the rules of the military seriously, and many young martial artists will only do it once

Wei Changpan sat there, and the noisy peers made him a little excited, but he forced himself not to look left and right, and sat quietly between the two old dart masters.

"General, those three are the representatives sent by my father's dart bureau. The young and slender staff officer lifted the corner of the military tent and pointed to Wei Changpan and said, "When my father came home, he also mentioned to me this young man he fancied, and now it seems that not to mention the realm of martial arts, in terms of mental nature, he is much better than his peers." ”

"Ziwen, what did your father say when he knew about you coming to my account as a staff officer?"

Zhang Ziwen replied timidly, "First I was whipped a few times, and then I dragged my subordinates down and had a good meal in a restaurant in the city, and then I got drunk, and said that I wanted to take my subordinates down to taste the taste of women..."

"So it seems that you have tasted it?" On that day, the heavily armored general in the city changed into a light green wide robe and belt, like a lazy scholar, and even the staff officers around him were more like a military attache of the fourth grade than him, and asked the staff officers around him while looking into the military tent with great interest, "It is indeed interesting...."

"What's the point, those women came up and wanted to rip off the armor of their subordinates, no matter how they said it, they didn't use it, and finally they drew their knives to scare them away. Zhang Ziwen smiled bitterly, "What's the point." ”

"I'm talking about that kid's blade, how old can I control such a murderous weapon...."Jinzhou General Song Zhiwen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said suspiciously, "I seem to have seen this knife somewhere.... But where..."

Zhang Ziwen looked at the hour and whispered to Song Zhiwen, who was still pondering, "General, it's time to talk to these Jianghu people, although they are just some arrogant boys, but after all, they represent the face of almost the entire Jianghu sect in Jinzhou, and it is not appropriate for us to be too lazy." ”

"Since these masters, helpers, and heads of the sect don't have the intention of helping each other sincerely, then why should I say something to these young people that no one will listen to. Song Zhiwen raised his hand to put down a corner of the tent, the hustle and bustle inside tended to intensify, and he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping it, "The battlefield will screen out those who can't adapt to it." ”

"General, you're talking about...."

"The return of the scouts, and there are still more than 5,000 people thirty miles north of Yuancheng, and hundreds of remnants of the army have been guarding 5,000 people for three days without danger to defend. The blue-robed general said coldly, "Fifteen hundred cavalry troops and these warriors will set off tomorrow to save the people into the city." ”

Zhang Ziwen was stunned, and there is no Xiongcheng north of Yuancheng, it is an excellent place for the barbarian to gallop across the Pingchuan, hundreds of remnants of the army can hold for so long, the barbarian's intentions, he is still clear at a glance, can't the general see it? The general didn't mean to say more, although Zhang Ziwen knew that this paper military order would be buried in the Jinju state army is almost the last cavalry field soldier.

When he walked out of the camp with the paperwork printed with the general's seal, he looked into the camp, where the man was distributing roasted beef to the soldiers.
