Borrowing Soldiers (1)

Chen Ping left, took his entourage, and walked away with the holy decree that the ancestor of the Chu family refused to accept. Vertices

The ancestor of the Chu family did not stop them, let alone dare to leave them.

If the Holy Dynasty is compared to a dragon, then the three of them are tigers.

Originally, the three tigers dominated the mountains and forests, but they didn't expect that they would inexplicably become lone wolves.

On the side of the couch, there is a tiger feigning sleep, how can he feel at ease, and how dare he provoke the wild dragon again and force himself to a dead end?

If Chen Ping really returned to Chang'an in disgrace, then he was really not Chen Ping, and he really lived up to the trust of the Holy Emperor.

Faced with the disdain of the ancestor of the Chu family, he flicked his sleeves and left.

He found an inn in the city, stayed there, and then asked his entourage to go to the shop to drink tea, and "inadvertently" told the Chu family ancestor about his refusal to recruit from the Holy Dynasty.

Although the ancestor of the Chu family had doubts, he didn't bother to care.

He sent people to monitor Chen Ping, and instructed them not to let Chen Ping be hurt in the slightest, after all, now that the wild dragon was eyeing Yuedi, he didn't want to make trouble for himself at this juncture.

Chen Ping went shopping every day, and occasionally went to the brothel to listen to small songs, as if he came to Baichuan just to relax.

......

A few days after Xu Changan returned to Shuofang, he completely changed his previous tired appearance.

The first thing he had to do was to temporarily remove the old military doctor from the leading position of the army, and look at the city across the river every day.

When Xiaobai saw him come back, Xue Pan was naturally relieved, Xiaobai stuck to Xu Changan, lying on his shoulder every day, or lying on the top of his head.

What makes Xue Pan excited is not only to get rid of Xiaobai's clutches, although now he doesn't have to serve Xiaobai like an uncle every day, which makes him very happy, but what makes him even happier is that he sees the resoluteness on Xu Changan's face.

Every day, Xu Chang'an, Xue Pan and several lieutenants discussed the problem on the map together.

But talking about soldiers on paper is different from real swords and real guns after all, Xu Changan has no experience in leading troops, no proud achievements, and only indomitable determination.

But he alone has this determination, and all the soldiers have to have this determination.

If everyone had this kind of determination to put life and death out of the way, he believed that with the quality of his troops and individual soldiers, as long as he was not ambushed, he could break through the city. After all, the opposite side is not Yoo Seung-lang, who is good at strategy.

Xu Changan has been looking for that point that can arouse the morale of the soldiers.

There is no ferry crossing on the Chuijiang River.

This is not to say that the water of the Chuijiang River is turbulent and not suitable for ferrying.

But since the Han family took control of Yuedi, Chuijiang and Shuo have no contact.

The Chuijiang River is like a door, locking the people inside in Yuedi.

On the contrary, the water is gentle, making it ideal for ferries. But now, more than ten years later, only Shuofang's military ships are parked in the harbor.

Xu Changan has been here a lot lately to watch these ships, and he wants them to tell him how to win.

He likes to sit on a small hill and look condescendingly at the boats that are written.

It's a pity that the ship doesn't speak.

He stood up, looked at the shadows of a few lonely trees on the riverbank, and counted the time, it was almost time for dinner.

When he was faced with the trivial matters of the leader, he knew that it was really not easy, and the leader was definitely not leading people forward.

It seems that today is no way, and another day will be wasted.

Xu Changan sighed, stood up, and suddenly saw smoke rising from the mountains and forests in the distance.

When smoke rises, there must be a household.

Xu Changan stood up, and the ghost made a god walk in that direction.

Under normal circumstances, when Xu Changan goes out alone, he is wearing a green shirt and carrying a long sword. Unless it was time to discuss combat countermeasures with the lieutenants, he would solemnly put on his armor and carry the long sword at his waist.

There was little smoke from the cooking, and it was a simple thatched hut.

There was only a simple table in the thatched house, on which were placed a few sweet potatoes, and a few flies kept making annoying noises around the sweet potatoes.

Xu Changan walked into the hut, and an old man with gray hair and a hunched back walked in with a bowl and hit Xu Changan's body.

Xu Changan hurriedly caught the bowl that had fallen down and handed it to the old man.

The old man raised his cloudy eyes, glanced at him, and said slowly, "It turned out to be a young man!"

Xu Changan was a little surprised.

"You know me?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I've been going out to fetch firewood lately, and I often see the young man in a daze at the mountain." ”

"Old man, I used to look in the direction of the Chuijiang River, which is my hometown. ”

Xu Changan didn't interrupt him, and listened to him quietly.

"When we came out, it was suddenly declared closed, and many people stayed outside. ”

"However, our household registration is in Yuedi, and we can't get any land outside, so we can only cultivate private land, but if we are discovered, we will be beaten up, and of course there is a way to survive, and that is to enlist in the army. ”

"But those military masters, only seventeen or eighteen-year-old strong guys, I was already in my thirties back then, so I had no choice but to run to this mountain to hide, and open some farmland privately. ”

"In that city, it's my hometown, and I have wives and children in it, and I don't know what happened to them, alas!"

Xu Changan looked at the old man and was silent.

He took the bowl from the old man's hand, and inside was a bowl of noodles that had been boiled and only the soup could be seen.

Xu Changan looked at the old man, this thing is nothing to him, but for him, eating sweet potatoes and noodles at the same time is one of the few big meals.

Xu Changan didn't know how to refuse, and he didn't want to refuse, he didn't know if the old man would have an idea after refusing, so he took the bowl of noodles.

The old man smiled, immediately turned around, and ordered another bowl of noodles.

Xu Changan took two bites, looked at the old man, and said slowly: "It won't be long before you can return to your hometown, at that time, everyone has a field to plant, and everyone has a land to cultivate." ”

The old man shook his head: "It's all the heart of a teenager, back then, those strong guys who joined the barracks at the age of seventeen or eighteen also said that they wanted to open the door of this chuijiang, but it took so long." In a blink of an eye, they all became veteran oilers, but this drooping river is still as closed as before. ”

Xu Chang'an's heart moved, as if he had caught something, and immediately asked, "Where did the seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldiers go?"

"Shuofang Daying, where else will it be!" The old man was a little angry, as if he had some opinions about these young adults who kept saying that they wanted to go back to their hometowns but did nothing.

When Xu Changan heard this, he was overjoyed. immediately said: "Uncle, don't worry, in less than half a month, this river will definitely be broken!"

The old man wanted to speak, so he could only see Xu Changan's back.

......

When Xu Changan was about to use the group of soldiers who came out of the river, a good news came.

The Eastern Route Army led by Guo Fen had already broken Qiwu, and Han Zhi fled to Yuezhou with seventy or eighty people.

No one expected that the one who won the first credit was actually Guo Fen, who is known for his stability!

......

At the same time, the ancestor of the Han family looked shocked when he heard the news, and finally gritted his teeth and took the woman in black to Li Hui first.

Subsequently, the ancestor of the Qin family took a grandmaster-level master, the ancestor of the Han family, and the woman in black to Baichuan.

The ancestor of the Chu family looked at the four people who came here, his expression was indifferent, he knew that the time to come was still here after all!
