Chapter 12 mentions
When Xiao Jingxuan was welcomed into the garden of the Taishou Mansion by the guards, and saw Zhang Sheng on the recliner in the pavilion, Xiao Jingxuan's heart was full of puzzlement and surprise.
Zhang Sheng lay on the recliner, held back his glance at Xiao Jingxuan, and said, "What, surprised?" ”
Xiao Jingxuan, who came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, saluted, and said, "See the general." ”
After speaking, he half-knelt on the ground.
"Get up, I told you, call me uncle in private."
Xiao Jingxuan stood up and hurriedly said, "Little nephew, please say hello to my uncle." ”
Looking at Xiao Jingxuan, who looked like a little dog-legged, Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "...... you, by the way, how is the injury?" ”
"It's already good, I just went to the barracks, and I knew that my uncle was detained, so my little nephew thought about coming over to try my luck, but I didn't expect my uncle's life to be good."
Zhang Sheng sat up, looked at Xiao Jingxuan and said, "Do you know my relationship with the Liangguo Mansion?" ”
After speaking, Xiao Jingxuan, who ignored Xiao Jingxuan, who shook his head, said to himself: "My father and your grandfather are friends for eight worships, after my father died on the battlefield, your grandfather took good care of me, and I have played with your father since childhood.
Since then, we have been assisting His Majesty today. Do you understand. ”
Xiao Jingxuan only then knew that this was a proper uncle.
Looking at Xiao Jingxuan, who understood a little, Zhang Sheng continued: "You are very good, you didn't lose your grandfather's face. It's time to return to oneness, right? ”
Xiao Jingxuan was shocked in his heart, he was lucky to break through to the realm of unity between life and death, but he didn't expect to be seen at a glance.
So he said worriedly: "Uncle Hui, recently, I broke through by luck." ”
Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Among the younger generation, you are also the first, not bad." ”
Xiao Jingxuan arched his hand and said: "It's just a fluke, but now that my uncle is under house arrest, why doesn't he seem to be worried?" ”
Zhang Sheng stood up, paced back and forth in the gazebo, and walked twice before he said, "What are you worried about, what is there to worry about."
Am I guilty of any crime, have I fled, or have I been a traitor, or have I lost my land?
No, in the battle of Lingzhou, there is not one in our department, but the barbarians died more.
What kind of crime is this, since there is no crime, who can arrest me, this is just a tacit understanding at the top.
Isn't it strange to you why I didn't send out the cavalry? ”
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan nodded. Zhang Sheng sighed and said: "I am General Zuo Xiaowei, but, Zuo Xiaowei's third battalion, only Zhang Gan is my person, Yu Wenhuai, Dugu Yu, you should know when you listen to the name, you are from the gate valve."
As for the Right Xiaowei, General Hu Kezhong of the Right Xiaowei has no lower status than me, if it weren't for the fact that I am the commander, the Right Xiaowei would not have listened to my orders.
The defenders of Lingzhou City are even more unruly, and if I don't have enough strength in my hands, I can't move them. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan finally understood, it was not that Zhang Sheng did not understand military strategy, but that his military leaders were hindered.
"I can hold Lingzhou, this is a great achievement, as for house arrest, so what, the eldest prince wants merit, give it to him, if you want military power, then go to the gate valve to take it, anyway, I don't have it."
Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, before, the wounded barracks ......"
Without waiting for Xiao Jingxuan to finish speaking, Zhang Sheng stopped Xiao Jingxuan, who wanted to continue, and said, "I know, but there is nothing I can do." It is undeniable that the eldest prince is the commander of the three armies. I've lost the ability to control the situation. ”
Zhang Sheng sighed,
"I'm good to say, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head and said, "My nephew doesn't know yet. ”
Zhang Sheng thought for a while and said: "With your military exploits, if you return to Beijing, you can also be a guerrilla, but the twelve guards are mostly guards in Beijing on weekdays, and it is difficult to have any credit for you to be promoted, if you want, I can find a border city lord for you." ”
Xiao Jingxuan was stunned and said, "Uncle, with my merits, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!" ”
"You are now the captain of Zhengqipin's Zhiguo, and I will find a way to make you the Dingyuan general of Zhengwupin, and temporarily take the position of the chief general of Fengzhou. After you have done some merit, I will straighten you up. ”
Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while and said: "Uncle, not to mention that the main general of Fengzhou is the position of the fourth grade, now, there are no soldiers and no generals in Fengzhou City, and there is no one in the hands of my nephew." ”
Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "What is your father's title?" ”
Xiao Jingxuan blurted out: "Liang Guogong." After speaking, Xiao Jingxuan reacted, looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "Uncle, do you mean Liangzhou Iron Cavalry?" ”
Zhang Sheng nodded and said: "Yes, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry has always been controlled by the Liangguo Mansion, and Xiao Yan, the commander of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry who came this time, is your uncle according to his seniority, no more, as long as a hundred horses, you can set up a shelf." ”
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head and said, "I don't have a high status in the family, and besides, I haven't seen this uncle either, so I'm afraid I don't have such a big face." ”
Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "You put your heart in your stomach, your father has already arranged it." ”
Xiao Jingxuan was even more puzzled in his heart, when did my father love him so much, why didn't I know?
However, there are two ways in front of us now, whether to return to Beijing or to Fengzhou.
Originally, it was not bad to stay in Fengzhou, but I especially hated that others would arrange my fate.
However, as Zhang Sheng said, if he returns to Beijing, it will be difficult for him to make a difference.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Jingxuan looked at Uncle Zhang and said, "Uncle, I plan to stay at the border pass, and I also hope that my uncle will plan on my behalf." ”
Seeing that Xiao Jingxuan had made a decision, Zhang Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's good if you figure it out, I'll arrange the rest, you have a good rest these days." ”
Coming out of the Taishou Mansion, Xiao Jingxuan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't understand it, is this the treatment of a concubine? It's not like ah, my sister-in-law doesn't have this kind of treatment, right?
But it doesn't make sense, if my father really doted on him so much, he wouldn't have been poor since he was a child.
If he hadn't learned martial arts by accident, he might be a steward of the Grange now.
and Zhang Sheng, he didn't take much care of himself, in the first battle of Lingzhou, he died nine times in his life, and he didn't take care of him.
With all kinds of questions, Xiao Jingxuan came to the small courtyard where he lived, thinking that Cui Jingshan would pounce, but he didn't expect that there was no movement.
After entering the small courtyard, Xiao Jingxuan called a few times, but no one answered.
Xiao Jingxuan felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to the room to find it.
But I searched and searched, and only found a letter on the table in the room.
The letter was left by Cui Yingxue. After reading the letter, I realized that the two sisters and brothers had left Lingzhou.
Xiao Jingxuan looked at the delicate font in his heart, and felt a little melancholy in his heart. There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.
However, looking at this font, the Cui sisters and brothers should not be simple.
After cleaning up his mood, Xiao Jingxuan began to cook dinner by himself.
In the next few days, Xiao Jingxuan ate, practiced, and slept every day. Life went by very freely.
But this kind of carefree days did not last long, and five days later, Xiao Jingxuan, who was practicing in the courtyard, received a notice from the herald. The Grand Prince summoned.
Xiao Jingxuan cleaned up his appearance. Then he followed the herald to the residence of the eldest prince.
Xiao Jingxuan didn't have a horse, so the herald led the horse and led Xiao Jingxuan forward.
Originally, Xiao Jingxuan wanted to talk about it, but the herald ignored Xiao Jingxuan.
Xiao Jingxuan, who had a boring face, could only walk with his head bored, but fortunately the distance was not far.
After arriving at the Shuai's mansion, the herald showed the token and took Xiao Jingxuan into the mansion.
Xiao Jingxuan also met the boss of the battle, the eldest prince, in the living room.
There was no one else in the living room, and after Xiao Jingxuan saluted, the eldest prince asked Xiao Jingxuan to get up.
"Well, you are Xiao Jingxuan, sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. Not bad. After the eldest prince finished speaking, he handed Xiao Jingxuan a letter from the military department.
continued: "Congratulations, from today onwards, you can call yourself the last general. ”
Xiao Jingxuan hurriedly said: "Thank you Your Highness for your promotion. After speaking, he opened the official document and read it.
The Ministry of War appointed himself as the deputy general of Toyosu and temporarily took over the post of general of Toyoshu. After reading the letter of appointment. Xiao Jingxuan stood aside, waiting for the eldest prince's instructions.
The eldest prince looked at Xiao Jingxuan, who was waiting for instructions, and said, "Your father, your grandfather, have always been the humerus of the country and the pillar of the imperial court. The royal family has never treated the Xiao family lightly, you have to behave yourself, don't embarrass the family. ”
Xiao Jingxuan thought in his heart, this was warning himself. It seems that his relationship with King Jin was known by the eldest prince.
Xiao Jingxuan hurriedly said: "Yes, the last general will strictly follow the teachings of His Highness." In the future, I will be cautious in my words and deeds and not disgrace my family. ”
The eldest prince nodded and said, "Well, I hope you keep in mind today's words, the official seal, military talisman, and official uniform will be sent to your residence later." As for the soldiers and horses in Fengzhou, you can transfer some of them in Zuo Xiaowei, and the rest can be recruited on the spot. ”
"Yes, the last will obey."
"Well, step aside."
After Xiao Jingxuan said goodbye and withdrew, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Next time, stay away from these high-level people, if you don't get it right, your life will be hanging in the balance. I just felt that there were two masters beside the prince, and they were full of murderous aura.
If you say something wrong just now, I'm afraid that the outside world of flowers and flowers will have nothing to do with you.
When Xiao Jingxuan returned home, the prince's guards sent official uniforms and ribbons, and the time was just right.
However, Xiao Jingxuan is already immune. I'm also a master of my own size. You have to have the bearing of a master.
However, you still need to think about the future path.
Although you can go to the Liangzhou Army to borrow someone, in that case, you will not be controlled by others in the future.
However, Zuo Xiaowei is not a good choice there. Most of the Twelve Guards were recruited from the periphery of the Jingshi, and if they stayed in the border city, I am afraid that not many people would be willing.
So who else can be recruited by yourself, this is really a problem.
