To the east of Chang'an, heavy snow closed the road, the north wind was howling, and a small group of military horses on the ancient road braved the snow to go east. The snowy road is difficult to walk, the chariots and horses are like snails, and the sergeants are like wet ants, and they are unusually slow.

At the front of the team is a man and a horse, the horse is an extremely majestic and majestic jujube red horse, but the people on the horse are not majestic at all. The man was more than sixty years old, and he was dressed in armor, but his body was very thin, and his legs were long and different. It is said that people can not be good-looking, although this person has a trivial appearance and a tasteless expression, but he is a well-known envoy of the Anxi Festival, surnamed Changqing, who has been in the army for more than 30 years. In November, An Lushan Shi Siming rebelled, Hebei fell, Henan was in an emergency, it happened that Feng Changqing was in Beijing, Emperor Xuanzong asked him how to break the enemy, Feng Changqing said: "An Lushan led more than 100,000 murderers to invade the Central Plains, and the peace lasted for a long time, and people did not know how to fight. But there are things that go against the grain, and there are strange changes in the situation, so the ministers are invited to go to Tokyo, open the treasury, recruit the brave, and count the days to take the head of the rebel Hu and hang it under His Majesty. Xuanzong was in a state of fear, and heard the words "strong". The next day, he awarded Chang Qing the title of Fan Yang Festival envoy and authorized him to go to Luoyang to recruit troops. At this moment, it was Feng Changqing on the way to Luoyang with his own soldiers.

Feng Changqing governed the army very strictly, and although the sergeants were tired and tired, they all kept moving forward. After leaving Chang'an for a few days, the army was less than 50 miles away from Tongguan, and in the wind and snow, Huashan was faintly visible on the side. After marching for half a day, he arrived at the foot of Mount Hua, seeing that the sky was about to dark, and the wind and snow were particularly wild, Feng Changqing ordered people to find a valley to shelter from the wind and camp.

Feng Changqing is 60 years old this year, and at the age of 30, he recommended himself to join the army to follow Gao Xianzhi, and he has made many military exploits, is familiar with the art of war, and has a good way of fighting. Feng Changqing carried a sword to inspect the camp, and suddenly a subordinate leader ran over and said, "General, my subordinates found two corpses in the snow over there." Then he said, "It's a corpse, and another young man is unconscious." ”

Feng Changqing frowned and said: "This kind of trivial matter, what is there to report, the dead are buried, and the dead are saved." The captain replied, "Yes, General." After hesitating for a moment, he said: "General, that young man seems to be a disciple of the Huashan faction, and his subordinates feel that since we are going to Luoyang to recruit troops, do you want to ...... this kind of young man who knows martial arts" Feng Changqing understood what he meant, and said: "Well, I know, let's save it first." ”

The unconscious was naturally Lin Yin, who fell from the cliff that day, but was still entangled with the body of the leader of the man in black. Fortunately, Lin Yin used the corpse as a cover to avoid being knocked into the vital point, and then fell into the thick snow together, and actually picked up a life. Lin Yin was in a coma for another day and a night, but he was rescued by Feng Changqing's troops who were camped here, which can be regarded as pitiful.

When Lin Yin woke up in a daze, it was already the middle of the night, he opened his eyes vigorously, and faintly saw the roof through the dim light, the roof was not made of bricks and wood, it seemed to be cloth, and it was like skin, and he didn't know where he was. I felt that there seemed to be something on the place where I was lying, but it was not soft, I felt a little cold, I wanted to tighten my clothes, and when I moved, I was in pain. Lin Yin wanted to open his mouth to shout if there was anyone around, but he found that his mouth was dry and his throat seemed to be dry. I opened my mouth, but I didn't spit out a word.

Try to run the internal force, fortunately, the internal force is still there, and the internal force group in the Qi Sea Cave is still rotating all the time, increasing every moment. Running the internal force all over the meridians of the whole body, he regained some strength a little before he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Yes, is there anyone?" ”

After a while, someone replied, "Hey, brother, are you awake?" A rough face lay across Lin Yin's face. Lin Yin couldn't bear to look at it, and said again: "I'm a little thirsty, do you have water?" The man grinned and said, "I'll bring you water." ”

Soon, a kettle spout was placed next to Lin Yin's mouth, and then a warm current flowed into his mouth, Lin Yin swallowed a small mouthful, felt that his throat was drier and more painful, and scolded in his heart: "Which one lacks virtue, feed me wine." The man fed Lin Yin for a while before he took the flask and asked, "Brother, are you better?" Not enough yet. Lin Yin was a little speechless and said, "I'm thirsty, do you have water?" ”

The man was a little puzzled and asked, "Didn't you drink it?" He looked at the kettle again and suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's wine, hehe." As he spoke, he went to get the kettle again and fed Lin Yin some to drink.

After drinking some people, eating some broken cakes, he gradually regained some strength, and after lying down for half an hour, Lin Yin actually stood up. The person who was taking care of him next to him was a little incredulous, stared at Lin Yin and asked, "You, aren't you seriously injured?" ”

Lin Yin ignored him, looked around, and found that he was on the floor of a round low house, and there seemed to be some torn clothes on the ground. The walls and roof of the house were all sewn with leather cloth, and there was a low bed at one foot of the room, and the bed was so small that one person could lie down, and there was a table beside the bed, and there was an oil lamp on it, and there was nothing else. Lin Yin stumbled to the side of the bed, then sat on the bed, took a breath, and said to the man, "Big brother, thank you." So he did not look at the man, but lay down on the bed again, and soon fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a rough-faced man with a stunned face.

When he woke up the next day, the genius was slightly bright, Lin Yin was in a lot of energy, and found that the wounds on his body had been bandaged. Lin Yin got up and found that there was still a person lying on the ground, and thought about it was the person who took care of him last night.

Although the man was full of old skin, he was not very old, at most in his twenties, and his face was still a little childish. Looking at him again, he was still wearing a felt hat, a felt suit, and leather armor, dressed as a soldier. The young soldier woke up very awake from sleep, and when he heard the sound of Lin Yin getting up, he soon opened his eyes and got up, Lin Yin saluted him and thanked him: "Thank you big brother for saving and taking care of you." ”

The soldier smiled: "Hehe, you're welcome, our Gang Leader found you in the snow and rescued you, I just helped take care of you all night." Lin Yin hurriedly said: "I still want to thank you." He said again: "Little brother Lin Yin, I don't know the eldest brother's surname?" ”

The soldier seemed to be very smiling, grabbed the felt hat on his head, and said with a smile: "My name is Wu Guang, I am nineteen years old this year, hehe." Lin Yin also smiled and asked, "Brother Wu, where is this?" This house is so weird too. ”

Wu Guang replied: "Oh, this is at the foot of Mount Hua, and we are the sergeants who followed General Feng to Luoyang. Then he looked around and said, "This is not a house, this is a tent." Hehe, in fact, there are many people living in one tent, because you are injured, brother, we can only have two people in one room. ”

Lin Yin nodded, and asked again, "Brother Wu, have you seen my two swords?" One is still stuck in someone else's ......" Before he finished speaking, he asked again, "What about the dead man who was with me?" ”

"The dead man? Already dead, buried. Your sword was taken away by General Feng, but don't worry, he will return it to you, General Feng never wants anything from his subordinates. ”

Lin Yin was stunned and asked, "What subordinate, junior brother, I'm not anyone's subordinate." ”

Wu Guang smiled again, his face was full of wrinkles, and he said, "General Feng asked us to ask your brother if you would like to be a soldier." Although General Feng is a big official, he has always been very good to those of us who are subordinates. This time I went to Luoyang to fight An Lushan, and asked us if we didn't want to go, saying that we didn't want to go, or we could get the March military salary, and then go home by ourselves......" He chattered to himself, Lin Yin interrupted him and asked: "Is this going to fight An Lushan?" Lin Yin remembered that Li Zhu'er was captured by An Lushan, and he didn't know if he was still alive, if he went to fight An Lushan, maybe he would have a chance to meet him.

Wu Guang said: "Yes, I heard that An Lushan's subordinates are very fierce, starting from Fanyang and fighting all the way to Henan without much effort, and now Luoyang is in an emergency, and the emperor sent General Feng to Luoyang to recruit troops to defend the city, and want to stop An Lushan in Luoyang." ”

Lin Yin thought about it, now that the war is raging, the world will definitely not be peaceful, and it is much farther to go to Quanzhou than to Luoyang, so it is better to go to Luoyang first, and when An Lushan is defeated, maybe Li Zhu'er can be rescued, so he said: "Brother Wu, I decided to enlist in the army and go to fight An Lushan." ”

Wu Guangxi said: "Okay, brother, you will go with us to fight An Lushan, you wait for me, and I will go and tell Gang Commander Ding." Lin Yin stopped: "Brother Wu, I'll go with you." Wu Guang looked at him and asked, "Brother, is your injury okay?" Lin Yin said it was okay, and Wu Guang took him out of the tent together.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and Feng Changqing had not yet ordered anyone to pull out the village and set off. Wu Guang walked a few feet away with Lin Yin, came to the door of another tent, and shouted: "Captain, that little brother is awake, he wants to be a soldier." ”

Soon, a short and stout man came out of the tent with a helmet and armor, yawned and said to Wu Guang: "It's so early, the wake up call hasn't sounded yet, what are you shouting here?" ”

Wu Guang was not afraid of the captain of the group, and said: "The little brother you rescued yesterday woke up, and he wants to be a soldier." Lin Yin on the side also said: "Hello Captain Ding, my name is Lin Yin, and I am going to enlist in the army." ”

Captain Ding glanced at Lin Yin up and down, and then asked, "Do you know martial arts?" Lin Yin said: "There will be some." Gang Leader Ding didn't ask anything else, and said: "Okay, you will join our gang in the future, there are ten people in a gang, and it doesn't matter if you add one person." Lin Yin didn't mind which group he was in, but seeing that Wu Guangren was not bad, and he already knew him, it was much more convenient to join him. Lin Yin still said: "Captain Xie." ”

Captain Ding nodded and said, "You go back first, I'll have someone send you a battle armor weapon later." He said to Wu Guang again: "Xiao Wu, you can tell Lin Yin about the rules and regulations of our army first." ”

Three hundred soldiers in the Tang Dynasty formed a regiment, every hundred people formed a brigade, every fifty people formed a team, and every ten people formed a fire. The commander of a regiment is a "captain", the commander of a brigade is a "brigade commander", and the commander of a brigade is a "team leader". This time he went to Luoyang, Feng Changqing only brought less than one regiment of personal soldiers, more than 200 people.
