Du Jie was also happy when he saw this person: "Erdezi, I looked like you from afar, but I didn't expect it to be you." What's the matter, I haven't seen you in the past three years, and you've become a pioneer? Get up."

The person who was called Erdezi saw that Du Jie hadn't forgotten him, and he was even more happy: "I haven't learned from the young marshal before, young marshal, let's go back to the camp." ”

Du Jie nodded, and was just about to take a step, when he saw the old man on the ox cart, "Erdezi, this old man is here to look for his son, he was frightened before, you settle him." Wait until he wakes up."

When Erdezi heard the call for his subordinates, he pulled the ox cart into the barracks along with the old man.

The two walked along the road, and the big tent of the barracks rose at this time, although it was not yet dark, but the lights in the big tent were brilliant. Erdezi took Du Jie to the big tent and said apologetically: "Young marshal, you wait here, I'll go in and report it." Right now, right now! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Du Jie to say anything, he rushed into the big tent, and Du Jie looked at Er Dezi with some amusement.

Erdezi's real name is Wang Deyong, and his father is a fireman. Later, after Wang Deyong was born, he has been following his father in the camp, when Du Jie was in his teens, and there were these two children in the barracks, looking at Wang Deyong, who was half a head shorter than him. Du Jie was not polite, and directly recognized the younger brother.

Later, this Wang Deyong was a guard beside Du Jie, and with Du Jie fighting on the battlefield, Du Jie had a whim and wanted to worship Wang Deyong, but Wang Deyong always refused, Du Jie had no choice, but from then on, Wang Deyong called himself Dajie, he called Wang Deyong Erde.

In the end, although the son was not worshipped, the title was retained.

Du Jie was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a quarrel in the big tent. Today, the marshal was promoted, and it seemed that he was discussing something, some of which did not go well, and his words were a little fierce.

Du Jie was curious about what was going on inside, and was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a loud laugh inside: "Where is Du Jie?" Where? I thought you little cub had forgotten about you, Uncle Peng. It's been three years, and I don't have any faith at all. ”

Before the words fell, the door of the big tent was lifted high, and more than a dozen people walked out of it, everyone's faces were beaming, Du Jie recognized almost all of them at a glance, and the middle one was like a crown of jade, dressed in a big hat, with graceful qualifications and beautiful appearance. It is now Peng Xianzuo, the marshal of the Northwest Army.

Du Jie saw Marshal Peng come out to greet him, hurriedly took two steps forward, and was about to kneel down when he picked up his clothes, when Peng Xianzuo saw him grab his hand.

"You little cub still know to come to the northwest, I thought you had forgotten that there was your uncle. Let me see, well, it seems that the Central Plains is a raised person, and after staying in the Central Plains for three years, he is no longer the rough man he used to be. With this appearance, there is no need to worry about a handsome daughter-in-law. ”

After hearing this, the generals laughed, and Du Jie's face turned red all of a sudden.

Fortunately, Marshal Peng didn't continue, he put away his expression, and said to the people who came out: "This kid, everyone knows him, the grandson of the old marshal, the former pioneer of our Northwest Army." Now, though, he has another identity. ”

After saying this, he glanced at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on the last few people on the left.

"This is the Duke of Wu'an who is personally enshrined by the Holy Lord today, everyone, you have to be a little polite when you see the duke."

After hearing this, everyone's faces were first shocked, and then ecstasy, only the last three people on the left had some unnatural eyes.

Du Jie's mind was lively, and when he saw Marshal Peng's eyes, he hurriedly said to the generals: "Uncles and brothers, don't be ashamed of me. Don't move, if any of you wants to kneel, I'll knock you first. ”

The crowd burst into laughter

Du Jie saw that the last three had never seen them, and thought to himself that this could be the three generals who came from Shujun City as the brain shell said, so he turned his mind and asked Peng Xianzuo with a smile

"Marshal Peng, these three look very good, don't you help your nephew introduce you?"

Peng Xianzuo looked at the three of them and made a confused expression: "Look at me, these three are the three generals who have just arrived in the northwest, and they have been serving in the imperial capital not long ago. ”

Du Jie was slightly stunned, this is a little different from what the brain shell said, but Du Jie turned his mind and asked, "Was you still in the imperial capital before?" The three generals were still in the imperial capital before, so the saint named me Wu'an Gong, do the three know about it? ”

The three on the left looked at each other, and the leader replied with a smile: "Duke Wu An was sealed by the saint, so he naturally knows." ”

"Since you know...... Du Jie suddenly changed his words and sank his face, "Since you know, why don't you kneel when you see the duke, are you also the marshal of the army?" ”

"This ......" When the three of them heard that Du Jie made them kneel, their faces suddenly changed. The three looked at each other and knelt on the ground through gritted teeth

"Xiaguan has seen Wu Angong."

Du Jie nodded: "The three armors are on their bodies, no need to be polite, get up." ”

Someone next to them burst out laughing, and the three of them saw Du Jie teasing them like this. His face was pale. The man in the lead rolled his eyes and clenched his fist at Du Jie

"Duke Wu An, not in the Central Plains, what is the matter when you go back to the northwest."

Du Jie looked at Peng Xianzuo and saw that although he was displeased, he didn't speak. Du Jie said understandingly.

"This general's surname!"

The man said politely: "Under the surname Niu, the double name expedition." Cattle Expedition. ”

Du Jie sighed: "General Niu? You came to the northwest to join the company, and you still have a life. ”

"I'm waiting for my life, not coming to the northwest to camp."

"What kind of order is that, say it and I'll listen."

"This ......" Niu Yuanzheng was stunned: "Our order has nothing to do with Wu Angong, so I forgive you for the inconvenience." ”

Du Jie nodded after hearing this, and smiled at Niu Yuanzheng: "Your order has nothing to do with me, so it is inconvenient to give it." General Niu wants to ask about my orders? ”

Niu Yuanzheng looked embarrassed and knew that he had said the wrong thing.

Du Jie didn't intend to let him go, and continued: "Even if I tell you, do you dare to listen? General Niu? ”

Niu Yuanzheng immediately knelt on the ground after hearing this: "Wu Angong atoned for his sins." ”

"Marshal Peng, this General Niu is suspected of spying on military intelligence. This is a felony in this dynasty! ”

Marshal Peng smiled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, a hearty laugh came from the big tent: "Haha, Duke Wu An's unharmed!" ”

Before the words fell, a Confucian student dressed in a crane walked out of the big tent, the Confucian appearance was very great, Du Jie was stunned when he saw it, and said unconsciously: "National teacher, why did you go to the northwest, I heard that you went to the northern grassland." ”

The person who came out of it turned out to be the national teacher of the dynasty, this person was originally ordered by the emperor to send an envoy to the grassland, but Du Jie didn't expect to meet him again in the northwest military camp today.

When the national teacher saw Du Jie, he hugged his fist at him: "Wu Angong has always been good, Kong Wujue is polite." ”

When Du Jie saw that he hurriedly returned the salute, the national teacher did not wait for Du Jie to say anything, and said: "These three people now have the emperor's order, and the charges will be recorded for the time being, and when I return to the imperial capital, I should tell the saint and ask the saint to punish the crime according to the law." ”

When the national teacher said this, Du Jie naturally couldn't embarrass them anymore, and Marshal Peng was a little surprised to see that Du Jie and the national teacher actually knew each other. But I also know that this is not a place to speak, after the vignette. Invite everyone back to the big tent. The national teacher and Du Jie were not polite, and they took their seats as Peng Xianzuo entered the big tent.

The national teacher spoke first: "I thought that Duke Wu An would come to this northwest military camp in the near future, but I didn't expect to meet here so coincidentally." ”

Du Jie was also a little surprised: "I heard that the national teacher left the imperial capital and went to the grassland one day ago, why is it in the northwest now." Is something wrong? ”

The national teacher looked at Marshal Peng and said with a wry smile: "My trip to the grassland was not very smooth, and the people on the grassland saw through my divisive plan. Now on the grounds that our dynasty disturbed the order of the steppe. Now they are rapidly gathering their forces and preparing to raise troops to the south in the near future. On the way back, I made a meeting with the marshal who was guarding the north, and he sent someone to the imperial capital to report to the saint. I turned to the northwest and came to Marshal Peng to borrow troops. If the Tatar army breaks through the defenses, there will be no peace in the vast northern territory. ”

Du Jie originally thought that what the brain shell said was nonsense, but he didn't expect to confirm the matter from the national teacher, and was surprised: "What? Are the Tatars ready to invade our court? Is this true? ”

Peng Xianzuo nodded: "Marshal Wu who guards the north has personally written a letter, according to their outpost observation, the grassland has begun to prepare dry food for horses, and the troops of various departments are also urgently mobilized. ”

"This ......," Du Jie frowned and couldn't speak.

The Tatars in the north are much more difficult to deal with than the Xianbei in the northwest, the Tatars have a vast territory, and after decades of recuperation, God knows how many soldiers and horses they have at this time. Moreover, the Tatar army was so murderous that every city it captured would be slaughtered.

The national teacher took over: "So I rushed to the northwest camp overnight and wanted to ask Marshal Peng to transfer troops to help, but ......"

Du Jie knew what the national teacher was going to say, it was impossible for Peng Xianzuo to transfer troops to the north, and the 150,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest must not move. Now the defense line of 150,000 people is already a little tight, and if only a few thousand people are transferred over, it will not help at all.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the national teacher turned the conversation around and asked, "How is Wu Angong's errand?" Is there a place where I can help? ”

Du Jie smiled bitterly: "I only recently went to the northwest and stayed in Yongzhou City for one night, and I didn't dare to delay rushing to the barracks. The errands assigned by the emperor are inextricably linked, and there is no clue. ”

The national teacher nodded: "If there is anything needed, just ask." The big camp where Wu Angong came alone? My nephew is still in Yongzhou City at this time? ”

"The sixth has been there for a while, but he also left Yongzhou today."

"Oh? Where did it go? ”

Du Jie originally blurted out the words, but seeing that the national teacher's reaction was slightly urgent, he was a little surprised

He and his second senior brother went to Mount Bulao. Some time ago, there was a vendetta in the mountains and lakes, and they went to see if they had found anything. ”

When Du Jie said this, he looked at the national teacher, and the national teacher nodded unchanged, but Peng Xianzuo's expression next to him changed slightly.
