Chapter 25: Closer to home is more timid
Bai Zhong followed the army and returned to the military camp in Shangjun.
The news of Fanwu's defeat also came back, and even Mengwu in Yecheng was defeated, and this ending was in line with what he knew, so he didn't feel surprised.
After this battle, the Qin State will no longer use troops against the Zhao State for the time being.
"Han Wei saved Zhao, it should be an accident, and the next battle to be fought is probably the battle to destroy Han."
Bai Zhong remembered the next historical trajectory, and said to himself: "I don't know, will I be arranged to the battlefield to destroy Han, and the previous title, why haven't I been rewarded yet?" ”
Before they were in Chili, the Wang Zhao of Yingzheng sent it to Chili, but the Wang Zhao had not yet arrived, Huan Qi had been defeated, and the people who sent the Wang Zhao could only return to Xianyang, and the middle was delayed, coupled with the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the time for the reward could only lag.
Bai Zhong thought of this, so he was no longer in a hurry, anyway, sooner or later, it was his own, now there was no need to fight, he was idle in the barracks, he could only lead his subordinates to train.
As a hundred generals in the army, the number of Bai Zhong's subordinates was finally replenished, but he was also a little sad, because he was transferred to himself from other hundred generals who had died in battle.
An army of 100,000 went on an expedition, and in the end only more than 20,000 people were left to return, which was better than the battle of Fat recorded in the history books.
"Baijiang, I have something I want to ask you for help."
Tian Zhen walked over and said cautiously.
Bai Zhong asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I just got a letter from home, my mother had an accident, I want to go home to see, but it won't be too long, I will definitely come back in half a month, can General Bai help me ask General Yang?"
Tian Zhen asked expectantly, and looked at his expression again, looking very anxious.
Although soldiers in the army are not allowed to leave the barracks at will, they can exchange letters with their families.
For example, Yunmeng's "Black Husband Wooden Slip" is an example.
However, there were not many literate people in this era, and Tian Zhen, as a butcher, was actually literate, which surprised Bai Zhong, and he didn't know whether soldiers during the service could ask for leave to go home when they didn't need to fight.
When it comes to going home, Bai Zhong also remembers that he has a younger sister.
For his sister at home, he only had a very vague impression, in order to integrate into the identity of the original owner, he should also go home to take a look and familiarize himself with the previous things, anyway, there is nothing to do now, and said: "I'll go and talk to General Yang." ”
Wang left Fanwu and had not returned, so Bai Zhong had to ask Yang Duanhe for leave.
"Thank you."
Tian Zhen said gratefully.
The chief general of the Shangjun military camp is currently Yang Duanhe, and when Bai Zhong found him, he was dealing with military affairs.
"See General Yang."
Bai Zhong arched his hand.
Yang Duanhe closed a few bamboo slips and asked, "What is the matter with General Baibai?" ”
He already knew Bai Zhong's deeds, and he didn't believe it much at first, but after finding out, he was shocked, if Bai Zhong hadn't fought his way out of the encirclement, Huan Qi and they might not be able to come back.
Such a brave and resourceful person, the king will definitely be reused, and it is not impossible to surpass himself in the future, Yang Duanhe was also a little polite when he spoke to Bai Zhong.
"I wanted to ask if I could take leave to go home during the service when I was not fighting, and I was ...... Take a temporary trip home. ”
Bai Zhong told Tian Zhen about it, as well as his thoughts of going home.
Yang Duanhe understood, and explained: "Of course, you can't leave during the service, but this battle has ended, and I don't know when the next battle will be fought again, if there are no special circumstances, officers with more than 100 generals can go back once, depending on the distance, at most one month, it must be arranged in order before and after the application, only one person can leave at a time, Bai Baijiang will be the first to apply, and you will be given a month, and the chief named Tian Zhen will not work." ”
Basically, only one officer can go back a month, and there are countless officers in the barracks, and even if there is no need to fight for a year, only about 12 officers can ask for leave, which has little impact on the barracks.
The Qin army's control over this aspect is still quite strict.
"Thank you, General Yang!"
Bai Zhong got a reply, said a word of thanks, and went back to tell Tian Zhen that it was not okay.
"Alas!"
Tian Zhen was very sad and was not allowed to leave, so he couldn't sneak away directly.
Leaving the barracks without permission is a deserter, and he can't imagine the consequences.
"Where is your home? I'll help you get home on my way back. ”
Bai Zhong was still a little soft-hearted after all.
Tian Zhen thought for a while, but he could only do this, and knelt down again to thank Bai Zhong for his help.
——
Early the next morning.
Yang Duanhe came to the eighth battalion and handed over Bai Zhong's subordinates to Li Xin for the time being.
After saying goodbye to them, Bai Zhong left the barracks smoothly, and according to the inherited memories, he remembered the route home, and Tian Zhen went home in the same direction, so it was not a trouble.
After walking for a total of two days, Bai Zhong first came to Tian Zhen's hometown, and also saw Tian Zhen's mother, but he twisted his foot, the old man was old and the sprain was not easy to get better, but it was not a big problem, and there was a young son and daughter-in-law at home to take care of.
Bai Zhong comforted him twice, and then promised to help bring a letter back to the barracks for Tian Zhen, and then left here and continued to go home.
After walking on the road for several more days, Bai Zhong finally returned to the place where Baijia Village was located, called Changxingli.
Ten miles and one pavilion, set up a pavilion chief.
Li is the grassroots administrative unit of the countryside of Qin.
Bai Zhong's Baijia Village, just within the range of Changxingli, suddenly had a feeling of being closer to home, and as soon as he walked into the inner door, he saw a middle-aged man coming towards him.
"Bai Zhong, why did you come back?"
This man is the prison gate in Changxingli, simply put, he showed the door to the inside, hesitated for a while, then turned around and went back and shouted: "Bai Zhong is back!" ”
His voice was quickly heard.
More than a month ago, the county order of Yiyi, also known as Yixian, asked people to pass on their military exploits, and Bai Zhong killed the enemy after enlisting in the army, and he was knighted.
This matter has long been known to everyone in Changxing.
In the entire Li, only Lizheng has the highest title, and it is also not more.
Now when I heard Bai Zhong coming back, someone came out of the house, and someone ran back from the field with farm tools on their shoulders.
Some of them were envious, some were happy, and all kinds of eyes were focused on Bai Zhong.
"What are you doing here?"
Bai Zhong was taken aback, the soul of this body had been replaced, and he didn't know how to deal with this group of familiar and somewhat strange people for a while.
"Of course we're here to welcome you."
A man walks out of the crowd.
Bai Zhong recognized him, it was Li Zheng in Chang Xingli.
Li Zheng laughed and said: "You kid, I think you can do it when you are a child, and you can make meritorious contributions to the knighthood after only a few months of service, I think I fought for several years and was injured before I got the title of not changing, you kid has the style of my year." ”
Bai Zhong said modestly: "Luck, it's all luck." ”
As he spoke, he was about to go inside, and he was really scared of their enthusiasm.
But the welcoming people were undiminished, and immediately surrounded him, some said that they would invite him home for dinner, and some wanted to introduce their daughters......
