The flag officer knelt down and presented a thin piece of silk to the general. The general took it and shook it into the air again, and read it. After reading, all the soldiers wept and flowed, all the soldiers under the mountain had lined up in formation, the generals lined up from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, all the soldiers knelt down three times and knocked nine times together, shouting to kill the enemy, the sound came out wave after wave, and the sound shook the mountain.

At this time, the general drew his sword from his waist and shouted: "Chase the remnants of the enemy in the north, annihilate the Hulu, and pull out!"

There were several earth-shattering cannon sounds from the bottom of the mountain, and the soldiers sang war songs and rushed to the battlefield, which was really bright armor and dazzling swords and guns. The general walked over and took Chen Lu's hand, walked into the temporary tent, and someone served tea.

The general said: "Lord Chen, this commander has a reluctant request. ”

Chen Lu smiled and said: "You are a military general, and your words are even more sour than our literati, what is a reluctant invitation, even if you have something to order, my old man is very busy." ”

The general also smiled: "General Gongsun, they all said that you are very similar to Lord Zhang Ziwen, not only do you look alike, but you also speak and act the same." Don't talk about this, please follow Ben Shuai to the north, Ben Shuai will definitely play the Son of Heaven, and title you as the position of the Three Princes, above Ben Shuai, better than what you are in that small country. ”

Chen Lu said: "My old man has official business, and he went to the Western Regions on business, and I have already told the general about this, and the mission is really inseparable from me." ”

At this time, Chen Lu heard a buzzing sound outside, and everyone was talking about something. The general said, "Did you hear that?" When you said that you were going to the Western Regions on business, they were all saying that you were Lord Ziwen. It's a pity that Ben Shuai is too young and hasn't seen Lord Ziwen. ”

Before the words fell, Qiu An walked in, walked to Chen Lu and knelt down, bowed respectfully, and said, "Uncle, why don't you recognize me as a nephew." ”

Chen Lu felt funny, and had another identity, no matter how long he lived, he had not lived in vain in this life, and said to Qiu An: "Get up, get up, who is your uncle? ”

General Gongsun walked in, made a gesture, and said, "Master Zhang, you are on business in the Western Regions, we all know this. We can't ask more about your errands. Since your nephew worships you, you are rude. What's more, you have been letting the general raise Qiu An, even a fool can see this. Don't worry, Lord Zhang, play Ming Shengshang, Feng Qiu'an, your nephew is a lieutenant of the Tun Cavalry and has been promoted to the fourth level, what else are you not satisfied with?"

Chen Lu stomped his feet and said, "Where is this?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Lu saw General Gongsun looking at him in surprise, and he asked, "What are you doing, why are you looking at me like this?"

General Gongsun said: "I have a good relationship with Zhang Ziwen, although we haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years, but the language and expression just now are exactly the same as Ziwen. Especially the sentence you just said, Ziwen hangs on his lips almost every day. Brother, I know, you became a first-class official in Maodun Dadanyu, and you don't want to go back to Dahan. Hmph, greedy for glory and wealth, I don't know you!"

Chen Lu understood, he was familiar with the history books and classics, of course he knew which one they were talking about, he didn't have the leisure to talk nonsense, and said: "You all go out, my old man has something to talk to the general, so I don't have to intervene." Flag officer, blast them all out. ”

The soldiers looked at the general, the general waved his hand, and General Gongsun and Qiu An stomped their feet and walked out.

Chen Lu said: "General, not only can I not follow the expedition, but I also have a word to tell. The vast China is endless, and the people everywhere are all the people of the Han Dynasty. The first evil must be done, and the threat will never be asked. Killing indiscriminately will damage the skull. Not to mention, Li Guang, who had just died, was not able to be crowned a marquis until his death, so why not? You are all crying out for him. He once killed 7,000 soldiers and damaged his Yin Gong. ”

He saw the general nodding his head, knew that he had listened, and then said: "Cao Bin captured Jiangnan and did not kill a single person." ”

The general interrupted him, "I haven't heard of Cao Bin." ”

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, remembered to talk to Huang Xie, couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said: "We don't care who he is first, he is not jealous, he has a good death, and future generations are noble, and the branches are luxuriant, and it has become a good story for the ages." I hope the general will see clearly. ”

The general looked at what he said solemnly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, my lord, keep in mind." ”

Chen Lu said: "The general's sword wound hides hidden poison, and he needs to cultivate his self-cultivation, otherwise the disaster will not follow." ”

The general stood up, clenched his fists and said, "The last general remembers." Since you are on business in the Western Regions and walking in the desert, you will inevitably encounter trouble. There will be a token at the end, which has not been used so far. When the areas of Monan, Mobei, and Jinshan saw this token, they all obeyed the order. I have ordered the king of Han to be released to go west to Jinshan, and the king of Tuntou to go to the east to lead the Xiongnu tribes and submit to the imperial court. The last general pursued King Zuo Xian to return to the fishing sea, and from then on Mobei recuperated. ”

Chen Lu was overjoyed, seeing that he had replaced Ben Shuai with the last general, his tone was humble enough, knowing that he not only listened, but also felt a little more deferential to himself. Look at his handsome baby face, like himself, his life is almost up. I don't have any regrets, after all, I have survived the fourth era, and this baby general is in the prime of life. It's a pity.

Chen Lu took the token and looked at it carefully, with "Champion Hou" written on the front, and the year name and the emperor's name written on the back. Chen Lu checked it, it was a sterling silver token, and he didn't say a word of thanks, he put it in the bag casually, and said: "Qiu An said that I am his uncle, I don't know, he will worship." Since ancient times, my mother has a big uncle, but it may be my uncle who harms people. It's this Qiu An, the general is good to take care of, and it's good for you. ”

The general saw that his preface did not match the afterword, and saw that he mentioned Qiu An, and firmly believed that this was his uncle. asked Chen Lu: "Aren't you going to meet King Han?"

Chen Lu saw that he didn't take it seriously at all, sighed in his heart, and said, "It's gone, next time." After saying that, he took his leave.

He refused to be sent to him by the generals, but he could not thank Qiu An. Qiu An sent one ride after another with tears in his eyes, and Chen Lu said before getting on the horse: "Whether I am your uncle or not, you are a kind-hearted person, and my old man will tell you a few words." You were originally a retainer of Lord Zhongqing, don't follow the example of General Gongsun and his people. Don't forget who your benefactor is, the general. In the future, you will be under the account of Lord Zhongqing, and don't forget to defend the general. ”

Qiu An saw that he knew everything about the affairs of the imperial court, and his analysis was also very clear, and he firmly believed that this was his uncle, and asked: "Lord Zhongqing and the general are like you and me, they are close relatives, what can be the difference?"

Chen Lu has already gotten on the horse and said: "In the eyes of some people, sometimes wealth is more important than family affection, I just hope that you will not forget your original intention, and there will be good rewards." After saying that, he shook the reins and left. After walking dozens of steps, when he looked back, Qiu An was still kneeling there, shouting: "Go back, I'll go." ”

After speaking, he slapped the big green horse and rose into the air, Chen Lu closed his eyes and believed that the horse was reined. I don't know how long it took, but it stopped.
