And they stayed in the county government that day. Early the next morning. The Kang Dynasty summoned a few remaining officials in the county and appointed Zheng Yi and the three of them to talk to them. He turned back to the three of Guoyuan and smiled bitterly: "Helplessly, Geng Ling is making trouble, and I am going to be in this house." Zhucao is empty. But I have to trouble you brothers a lot. The New Year is approaching, and the brothers only need to familiarize themselves with the situation in the county. After the year, you will have to work hard. The three of them hurriedly replied: "Dare not serve your life." Kang Chao returned the salute and ordered Qin Hui to take the three of them down to familiarize themselves with the affairs of Zhu Cao.

After instructing these things, Kang Chao stroked Kang Gui's shoulder again and said: "Second brother, do you know that there is a heroic Taishi Ziyi in Huang County, Donglai County?" ”

Kang Gui was young, and he liked this hero the most, and he was also famous for Tai Shici for a long time. replied: "I have heard his name for a long time, why did the eldest brother suddenly talk about this person." ”

When Kang Chao heard this, he dragged his hand and said, "It's good to know, today the eldest brother will take you to see the mother of Taishi Ziyi, and you and I should be mothers." ”

Along the way, Kang Gui led the way. The two of them went straight to the barracks outside the city. This time, it was a long way, and the Kang Dynasty and the two could not ride horses. So I walked for nearly half an hour before I saw the barracks outside the city. The Kang Dynasty ordered the soldiers guarding the camp not to make a noise. Quietly entered the camp, and did not alarm the people. But I want to see how this Wu Sangui recruits and exercises.

The two approached the school yard all the way, only to hear the sound of killing in their ears, and looked carefully. People are like tigers and horses, like dragons. Sure enough, it is an elite soldier. Seeing that there were hundreds of recruits on the school grounds, Kang Chao thought to himself, there were hundreds of recruits in just one day. First, today's world is difficult and there are many displaced people; Second, it can also be seen that Wu Sangui has indeed made a great name in several battles with the Yellow Turban, and can win the trust of the county people.

Wu Sangui saw that Kang Chao was only off the field on the school grounds, so he hurriedly handed over the spear in his hand to his subordinates and rushed down. There was still a long way to go from the Kang Dynasty, so he laughed and said, "Boyang, look at my sergeant, is it majestic?" ”

Kang Chao also responded with a smile: "It is indeed majestic." All tigers are also. "After these few days, I have to say that the Kang Dynasty is becoming more and more integrated into this era. On the one hand, he is adaptable, and on the other hand, some fragments of memories are constantly flashing in his mind for him to absorb. It should be the implanted memories.

Wu Sangui heard Kang Chao praise his soldiers and horses, and he was also honored. So he smiled and asked, "What's the matter with Boyang?" ”

"One is a military parade, the second is an uncle, and the third is a hero."

Wu Sangui was puzzled: "The soldiers and horses are here, you can review them; For me? Who is Haojie? Sangui really doesn't know. ”

Seeing this, Kang Chao first said: "We will cut down the yellow turbans, although the soldiers can be recruited, it is difficult to find a general." In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, how can the Qing family live for a long time. It's better to move to this Donglai. One is all your family, and the other uncles and uncles are all brave. Just after we can be guarded. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Donglai Taishi Ci can be regarded as a hero? I heard that Jun has a relationship with him. I wanted to go and see his mother. Wangjun introduced. ”

Wu Sangui smiled and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Kang Chao, signaling Kang Chao to look at it. Kang Chao took the letter and saw it, but it was a letter from home. It was written to the effect that it had been nearly a year since I came to Donglai. Everything is calm, and I came to pick up my family and come to Donglai. I hope that my father will find Tai Shi Ci and return to his hometown. In order to help the great cause of the Lord.

Kang Chao laughed after seeing it: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing." Uncle and I really have a heart. ”

Kang Gui also smiled and said: "Brother has an eldest uncle, just like Henkel has Han Xin, it can be said that they complement each other." ”

Wu Sangui summoned one person and said to him: "Take ten people and send this letter to your hometown in Liaodong." Pick up the old and the young. There was no money left in the family, and now the world is difficult. Tell the old father not to have a love affair. ”

Kang Chao only heard the man say, "The son-in-law obeys." He clenched his fists and bowed his hands, and took the letter and retreated. I didn't mention it when I went to send the letter. asked Wu Sangui: "Who is this, why do you call the eldest uncle your father-in-law?" ”

Wu Sangui said with a relieved face: "This person's name is Xia Guoxiang. Brave in battle, and good at planning. When I saw that he was courteous and studious, I gave him my eldest daughter. That's why I am called my father-in-law. ”

Wu Sangui is worthy of the temperament of a martial artist and is resolute. After instructing the affairs of the camp, he took the Kang brothers to see the mother of Taishi. The three of them held the son and nephew courtesy and were very respectful to them. It is also said that the end of the year is coming, and a number of various New Year's goods are specially sent. Taishi's mother is very virtuous, and the four of them have a very happy conversation. Kang Chaori returned to the county.

Due to the closure in recent years, there are not many affairs in the county. On weekdays, the Kang Dynasty either read the war books and war books, or went out of the city to parade, or drank and discussed with Guoyuan and others, or went to Zheng Xuanmen to listen to lectures. Months have passed in a flash, and it is the second day of the second month of February, and the folk say that it is the day when the dragon raises its head. It is advisable to cut the hair, but Kang Chao and others are outside the county, welcoming people. It's none other than the new Donglai Taishou. The surname is Cai, the name is 夓, and the word Bo is up. and the great Confucian Cai Yong is the same as Cai's after. Spirited, beautiful. Nearly seventy years old, especially spare energy.

Kang Chao and the others left the county early in the morning to wait, and by this time it was almost noon. That Cai Wei is still in the future. Wu Sangui had a violent temperament, and couldn't help but be a little angry, and said: "This new Taishou is too big. I've been waiting here for a long time, but I'm not there. Qin Hui listened, first appeased Wu Sangui a few words, and then said softly to Kang Chao: "Boyang, then Cai Boqi has not been here for a long time, could it be that he knows about me and other private soldiers?" ”

Kang Chao was also worried about this matter, after all, his memory was wrong. Thinking that this was just over the end of the year, Emperor Ling should have died, and under the struggle for power of He Jin and others, they had no time to pay attention to this remote Qingzhou matter. But I didn't want the news that came a few days ago that the Spirit Emperor was still alive and well. And also sent a new Taishou. Cai Kun is also a villager and a native of Chenliu County. The great Confucian Cai Yong is a person of the same clan, and he has a clear name in the world. His act of recruiting troops is at best said to be to get rid of thieves for the country, but to say it is ugly, it is to harbor evil intentions, and his heart can be punished. I don't know what kind of character this Cai Yu is. In case it is an old stubborn, even if he uses this matter to directly exempt himself, he will have nothing to say about this county. Therefore, I am afraid that this Cai Kun will not come for a long time in order to give him a dismount. But although he was worried in his heart, he couldn't just say it to Qin Hui so bluntly. After all, he still has three points of resistance to Qin Hui. So he just shook his head lightly and motioned to wait a little longer.

Everyone had to continue to wait, although it was February, but there was still a little cold spring, and when everyone gradually became impatient, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a piece of dust was flying. In this Qingzhou territory, horses are hard to find. The Kang Dynasty now barely had 5,000 soldiers under his command, but less than 200 cavalry. There are also some stallions that are flooded with periods. So everyone thought to themselves, couldn't it be that Cai Yu is here. After half a day of waiting, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And they put together their clothes, but they saw the knight approaching. Everyone saw it clearly, and saw that he had several wounds, and his armor was broken and his gun was broken. It's clear that there's a good fight. The man galloped all the way and saw Kang Chao and others wearing official uniforms. Daxi said: "In front, is the county commander of Huangxian County Kang Boyang?" I am Donglai's Taishou Cai Jia's general. The yellow turban is in turmoil, and the master is trapped in the country. There were only a few hundred county soldiers around. I have been ordered to report the letter. After saying that, he closed his eyes, but fell straight down from the galloping horse. Kang Chao led everyone to rush forward to take a look. But he was already exhausted. Seeing this, Wu Sangui said to Kang Chao: "I have been fighting all the way, and I have long exhausted my mind. Even if you don't fall off the horse, I'm afraid you won't be saved. Boyang, what should I do? After speaking, he looked at Kang Chao expectantly.

Kang Chao thought to himself, I am not familiar with Cai Kun, and there are pros and cons to saving or not saving. If Cai Yu is not saved, if this person dies at the hands of the Yellow Turban, he can still say nothing in this Huang County. But if this person doesn't die, I'm afraid I don't have to think about what he can do. Especially when the general shouted just now, people came and went outside the city gate. If I don't go to the rescue, I'm afraid that the name of colluding with the Yellow Turban and mutilating Shangguan will fall on my head the next day. Besides, this Qingzhou Yellow Turban originally wanted to crusade against and co-opt. As soon as he thought of this, he shouted: "Geng Ling thief, he has been making trouble in Donglai for a long time, and he should be eliminated today." I'm afraid that the recruits will be timid, uncle, and you have always been in charge of the military. Tell me about it. Is it possible to send troops today? ”

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. Five thousand soldiers and horses, the king eats all day long, and it is at this time! ”

After hearing this, Kang Chao turned to Zheng Yi and the others, "Senior brother, did you teach me?" Zheng Yi and Xi were speechless. Wei Guoyuan said: "Shangguan is trapped, of course, he should be rescued." It's just that we can't just listen to this knight's side. I don't know what the road ahead holds. Today's affairs should be biased. The squad is in front, and the scouts are out. Jun should be the commander of the army. Then send henchmen to lead three or four hundred people behind. to be safe. ”

When they heard this, they all praised it as good. Kang Chao couldn't help but glance at this country. In a short period of time, this person is so quick and meticulous in his thinking. What a masterpiece. Especially in these two months, spring plowing and farming are heavy. This man has never made a mistake. is really worthy of Zheng Xuan's praise for his countrymen. Although I hadn't heard of him in my previous life, I could rely on him a lot later. So he said, "That's exactly how it should be." Guozini's words are very good. ”

Ordered to go down, Wu Sangui led all the cavalry first; He brought 3,000 old soldiers behind, and ordered Xi Xi to lead 300 people as the rear team. Zheng Yi led 2,000 new clans to defend the city. lest the Yellow Turban surprise attack.

Wu Sangui took the order first, and ordered his henchmen Ma Bao and Hu Guozhu to carefully protect the Kang Dynasty. Kang Chao watched Wu Sangui roar away. It is also to return to the city to put on armor and change swords, and it is fully prepared. Before leaving, he said to Zheng Yi and the others: "The affairs outside the city are handed over to the younger brother, but the city is entrusted to the brothers." The defense of the city is dominated by Guozini. Don't slack off. Then he turned his head and instructed Kang Gui, "You go back to your uncle, in case we are defeated, we must keep my uncle's family safe." ”

When he had finished speaking, he led his troops out of the city and went westward.

Because he was a beginner in riding and was not yet proficient, Kang Chao directly sat in a chariot this time and led the troops forward. I don't know how this battle is going to be. After all, three months ago, he was just a student who was about to graduate, and who would have thought that he would go to the battlefield in person one day. So, he talked about the sword in the car and sang: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown in the sea, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!"
