Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? When Cai Xiao woke up from the coma, the person had already been sent back to Cai's mansion, and as soon as the old man woke up, tears flowed out unconsciously, and he said intermittently: "My son is resting......"
There are many people standing around the bed, including Cai Xiao's main wife, and several concubines, Cai Hui is also among them.
"Father, how do you feel and where is it uncomfortable," Cai Hui asked with concern.
"Huang'er...... Huang'er ...... "Now Cai Xiao has no place on his body that is comfortable, he is calling Cai Huang's name vigorously, and he can't say anything else.
He struggled to sit up from the bed, Cai Hui hurriedly stopped him and said, "Father don't worry, the second brother is fine now,"
Cai Xiao paused for a moment, then shook his head again and again, and said, "For my father...... For my father, I have to go and see Huang'er for the last time,"
Cai Hui sighed secretly and asked, "Where does my father plan to meet the second brother?"
"Huang'er...... Isn't Huang'er in the prison of the Lieutenant's Mansion, could it be that His Majesty has put him in the prison?"
"The second brother is in the barracks now,"
"Barracks," Cai Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't understand that Cai Huang had been brought to the barracks like this, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Could it be that Shangguan Xiu wants to personally execute Huang'er?"
Cai Hui smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty has pardoned the second brother's capital crime, and sent the second brother to the army, thinking about it, it should be His Royal Highness Guogong's request for the second brother,"
At that time, Tang Ling's attitude changed obviously, and he was obviously about to give an order to behead Cai Huang, but before the last word was spoken, a gendarme sent a note, and Tang Ling suddenly changed his words after reading this note,
In the case that the holy will has been decided, who else can change the holy will, who else can there be besides Shangguan Xiu, the army, that is Shangguan Xiu's world, without Shangguan Xiu's approval, even His Majesty will not be able to send Cai Huang to the army,
Although everyone present couldn't see what was written on the note, these elves could also guess in their hearts, Cai Hui belonged to one of the elves, although he didn't know why Shangguan Xiu wanted to save Cai Huang, but no matter what, Cai Huang didn't have to be beheaded in public, the last face of the Cai family was finally saved, and he was also grateful to Shangguan Xiu in his heart, in front of his father, he was rarely commensurate with 'His Royal Highness Guogong',
After Cai Xiao heard this, he wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, Shangguan Xiu was incompatible with him, he would save his son at a critical moment, this is not like something Shangguan Xiu can do at all,
He groaned for a moment, and the old tears flowed down again, and said in a trembling voice: "Hui'er doesn't need to comfort her father, and she doesn't need to deceive her father......" and used such a lame lie,
Cai Hui could understand his father's thoughts, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it, and he didn't say much, he took two delicate brocade boxes from the side, the brocade boxes were wrapped in jade brocade embroidered with gold wire, and when they were opened, they contained a pair of night pearls the size of pigeon eggs.
He placed the two night pearls in front of Cai Xiao and said: "In the afternoon, Hui'er plans to go to the military camp, one is to visit the second brother, and the other is to give gifts to His Royal Highness Guogong, not only to thank His Royal Highness Guogong for saving his life, but also to hope that His Royal Highness Guogong can treat his second brother well in the army and let him ...... Let him suffer less,"
He understands that it is useless to say anything to his father now, and his father will think that he is comforting him and deceiving him, so it is better to say directly what he wants to do, which will make his father believe in himself faster.
Sure enough, seeing the two priceless night pearls that Cai Hui took out, Cai Xiao's body was shocked and stunned, his eyes fell on the beads for a while before he came back to his senses, suddenly grabbed Cai Hui's hand, and stammered nervously and asked, "Huang'er is really not dead, he has really been confiscated,"
Before Cai Hui could speak, Cai Xiao's wife was already crying, and she choked up while crying: "What's the difference between being in the army and dying, Shangguan Xiu has been offended by the master, Huang'er fell into his hands, can there still be good fruits to eat?"
Cai Xiao, who looked terminally ill and dying just now, suddenly came to his senses at this time, became red, his eyes were shining, he sat up from the bed quickly, glared at Mrs. Cai fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Women's opinion,"
He put on his shoes and said, "Hui'er, you immediately go to the barracks with your father,"
Boot Barracks,
Originally, there were only 50,000 recruits in the new barracks, but with the promulgation of the conscription order, the number of recruits increased by as much as 20,000 in just one day, and most of the recruits of these 20,000 were from Xijing.
Xijing is now overcrowded, all over the world, there are all kinds of people, and there is a lot of construction everywhere, which requires a large number of construction workers and craftsmen.
But with the promulgation of the imperial court's rebellion and the national conscription order, there were still a large number of young men who gave up their jobs that were not dangerous and turned to join the army.
As a result, the number of new barracks is increasing rapidly, but the number of workers in Xijing is decreasing sharply.
Cai Huang is one of the recruits, his prison clothes have been taken off, and he has been replaced with a new military uniform produced by Baifeng Buzhuang.
Looking at the earthy yellow two-section military uniform on his body, as well as the earthy yellow helmet, Cai Huang's mouth was always grinning, and he muttered in his heart for the one hundred and eighth time, the military uniform designed by Baifeng Buzhuang was really ugly.
Cai Huang was brought into the Chinese military tent of the new barracks by two military policemen, and there were many generals standing in the Chinese military tent, not only the commander of the new barracks, Sui Tangjing, but also Luo Ren, An Yifu and other corps generals were also here.
In the center of the Chinese military tent was a huge square table, on which was covered with a map, and the map was densely marked.
Shangguan Xiu stood next to the map, holding his shoulders, looking down at the map, a young man in civilian clothes stepped forward quickly, handed over a bamboo tube the size of a little finger, Zhao Chen took it, poured out a paper roll from the bamboo tube, unfolded it, the corners of his mouth raised, and said: "Brother Xiu, he Ziyin has now led 20,000 gendarmes to drive out of Yujun and attack Mojun," >
"Only 20,000 people dare to counterattack Mo County, these two boys are inevitably too bold," An Yifu frowned and asked, "How many rebel troops are there in Mo County?"
The Mo County Army is one of the main forces of the rebels, due to the defection of the deputy county lieutenant Nangong Shang, after the rebels invaded Mo County, they occupied the entire territory of Mo County without blood, and the local army of Mo County also defected to the rebels.
Now it should be when He Ziyin only led 20,000 gendarmes to attack Mojun, in An Yifu's opinion, it was too risky,
Luo Ren smiled disappreciatively, and said: "It should be the Hezi Hidden Monkey Spirit Monkey Spirit, if you are not completely sure, the two of them will never dare to attack rashly,"
Zhao Chen Zhengse said: "At present, the rebel army in Mo County is about 50,000 troops, and most of them are stationed near the county town of Mo County,"
"However, the main army of the rebels is stationed in Anjun, and the Anjun rebels may enter Moxian at any time and join forces with the rebels in Moxian to flank the gendarmerie,"
"But in this way, the gendarmerie is equivalent to containing the main force of the rebels, and creating convenient conditions for our army's counteroffensive on the side of Zhenjun," Luo Ren continued,
Everyone nodded one after another, generally speaking, this time the gendarmerie took the lead in counterattacking, which was conducive to a comprehensive counterattack on their side.
"20,000 people, counterattack 50,000 rebels, and there is still the main force of the rebels stationed in Anjun, isn't this going to hit the stone with an egg, the gendarmerie really thinks that they are all gods," a discordant voice came from the crowd, and everyone present looked for prestige in unison,
I saw that at the back of the crowd, there was a small soldier wearing a new military uniform,
"Who is he, who allowed him to come in," Luo Ren took the lead in questioning, and looked at Sui Tangjing puzzled, this is the recruit camp, looking at the dress of this person, it is obviously a recruit, and he is under the control of Sui Tangjing,
The little soldier who spoke was Cai Huang, Luo Ren had seen Cai Huang, when selecting a new military uniform, but Cai Huang at that time was splendid, the jade tree was in the wind, and he was radiant, and now Cai Huang has lost a lot of weight, and he is wearing a standard military uniform, and the helmet still covers most of his face, Luo Ren and others failed to recognize him for a while,
Sui Tangjing looked at Cai Huang, also with a puzzled face, I don't know how this recruit got into the Chinese military tent, others didn't recognize Cai Huang, but Shangguan Xiu recognized him at a glance, to be exact, Cai Huang noticed him as soon as he entered the Chinese military tent, but he didn't make a sound, he smiled slightly, and asked: "Cai Huang, have you noticed any difference between you and others?"
Cai Huang, hearing Shangguan Xiu call out the other party's name, everyone looked at it carefully, isn't it, this little soldier is not Cai Huang or who,
"Shangguan Xiu, this son has been brought over by you, if you want to kill or chop, just let it be," Cai Huang has already been released, he was not beheaded in public, it does not mean that he can live, the army is Shangguan Xiu's world, here, Shangguan Xiu wants his life, that is, a matter of words,
"The army is a place that emphasizes unity, you must be united and consistent, you look at your comrades and brothers around you, their military uniforms are all worn and old, but the military uniforms on your body are brand new, don't you feel that you are too out of place?"
Cai Huang snorted and laughed, laughing angrily, do you think Lao Tzu is willing to wear this ugly military uniform, Cai Huang held his hands behind his back, tilted his body sideways, squinted at Shangguan Xiu, looking like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, whatever you do,
"As a soldier, call the name of the commander, this is the following offense, read your first offense, I can not punish you, but your incompatible military uniform needs to be changed, go out and run around the barracks twice,"
Shangguan Xiu said it lightly, the wind was light, but Cai Huang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood after hearing it, and ran around the barracks twice, you said it easily, you go and run two laps to try,
The recruit camp is a camp set up according to the specifications of the legion, which can accommodate 100,000 soldiers, this big camp, a circle down is not more than ten miles, now to run two laps, then there is no need for Shangguan Xiu to kill himself, he has to be exhausted to death,
"Shangguan Xiu, don't deceive people......" Before he finished speaking, the gendarmes next to him had stepped forward and slapped him on the face, interrupting Cai Huang's words, and then couldn't help but pull him out of the Zhongjun tent.
One person took the rope and tied it to his waist, then turned over and got on the horse and pulled Cai Huang out of the camp.
If you can run, you insist on running down, if you can't run, then drag you around the barracks twice, as for whether you will be dragged to the skin, it is not within the scope of consideration of the military police, at the beginning, Cai Huang still has the strength to scold, but after running out of the barracks from the military tent, he has no strength, sometimes staggering and running behind the horse's buttocks, sometimes falling, being dragged on the ground, only one lap down, Cai Huang's new military uniform has been torn out of shape,
Later, I found that a team of recruits was also doing lap training, Cai Huang took the initiative to ask to join this group of recruits and follow them to run laps, and the two gendarmes did not make it difficult for him, untied the ropes on his body, rode a horse, and supervised on the side.
In the Chinese military tent, Luo couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiu, what are you doing with this son of Caifu in the army, just his pampered, fine skin and tender meat, he will have to lie down tired in less than three days,"
Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and said: "A spoiled child, Cai Xiao can't take care of it, I'll take care of it for him, and within a month, I'll let him be reborn in the army,"
