"General, Vice General Ji was killed. Li Sichao said with a solemn expression.

"There are casualties in battle, and this is a helpless thing. Pass on my general's order, promote Pan Zukai to deputy general, take over the position of Ji Mu, and the rear army will be temporarily under his command. ”

"That's the best way to go. Although Li Sichao didn't care about death, Ji Mu was an excellent deputy general of the Southern Army after all, and his death in this small battle would more or less hit the morale of the Southern Army, not to mention the damage to his strength.

Zhang Poyan is not heartbroken, but at this moment his idea is even better, as long as he can arrive at the northern suburbs of the school, and meet the emperor, when the time comes, he will be a great achievement, once he returns to the capital, he can become a general above 10,000 people under one person, at that time, there will naturally be better generals willing to follow him, so that he will not be entangled for a long time by this little failure in front of him.

The flowers bloom two and one branch each, and it is said that in the northern suburbs of the school, the Royal Forest Army, the defenders, the imperial guards and the remaining people of the Zhaoxian Hall are all waiting for them. The emperor sat in the middle military tent, Bao Guocai commanded all the troops, and Lu Jianfei became the commander-in-chief of the individual attack.

"Report, report to Lord Bao, the enemy army is only five miles away from here. ”

"How many people are coming?"

"Waving the flag, it is impossible to find out the reality of the enemy army for a while. ”

As he spoke, two hurried horses' hooves came, and Bao Guocai was on guard and ordered the archers on the watchtower to prepare. Braving the wind and snow, it was Yan Kuo and Du Shaoyang who appeared not far from the outside of the village. The two of them were dressed in snow, their clothes were torn, and they seemed to have external injuries on their bodies.

"Master Bao seems to be his own person. The soldier on the watchtower said.

"How is that possible?" Bao Guocai couldn't believe it, he personally climbed the watchtower and confirmed that it was indeed Yan Kuo and Du Shaoyang. He thought to himself: When did they go out?

"My lord, do you want to open the gate?"

"I didn't follow the people, but opened the gate of the village first, and let them in. If it weren't for Bao Guocai knowing that Yan Kuo was fighting desperately to protect the guards that night in the capital, he would not have agreed to let them in at this juncture.

Du Shaoyang saw the gate of the village being opened from a distance, and said happily: "Brother Yan, it seems that we have not been abandoned. ”

"If you are really abandoned, you and I are to blame. Yan Kuo sighed.

"Now is the time to employ people, and the right to make up for the mistakes in the future. Du Shaoyang laughed.

"You're optimistic. ”

"It's too much to laugh and cry, no one can predict whether they have tomorrow, why not be happy?" Du Shaoyang's open-mindedness made Yan Kuo secretly admire.

The two rode into the camp, and Bao Guocai ordered the Imperial Forest Army to stop them. Du Shaoyang didn't care at all, smiled and saluted, turned over and dismounted. However, Yan Kuo was unhappy in his heart, and his face was stiff.

"When did you two go out, did you get the emperor's will?" Bao Guocai stepped forward and asked.

"No, no. Yan Kuo coldly spit out two words.

"Is that what Lord Lu commands?"

"No!" Yan Kuo said again.

"In this case, it is a private camp, and it is in the immediate event of a major war, which is a crime of one degree and must be dealt with according to military law. "Bao Guocai is selfless with an iron face.

"Yan is loyal to my emperor, and everything he does is not selfish. But after all, it violates military law and is willing to be punished. It's just that this Shaoyang brother was forced to go out together because I instigated and threatened him, and I also asked Lord Bao to learn about it. "Yan Kuo is a one-man worker, worthy of being the deputy owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion and a hero.

"The reason for this will be ascertained after the same day, and I will not listen to you. Bao Guocai said.

"My lord, the two of us left the camp without permission, violated military law, and were willing to be punished. But the army behind is about to overwhelm the border, can we veto the right and write down our mistakes, and kill the enemy bravely with a guilty body. How about making a final decision after this crisis is resolved?" Du Shaoyang saw Bao Guocai's thoughts and said deliberately.

"Hehe, I really don't have the heart to pay attention to your affairs now. However, I keep your mistakes in mind, and if you want to escape punishment or get away with it afterwards, even if you chase you to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go. ”

"Master Bao, rest assured, Yan is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Yan Kuo said resolutely.

"Okay, you go to the camp over there first, and Lord Lu is there to direct the actions of your heroes. Bao Guocai pointed in the direction of the right-hand side.

"Yes, thank you, sir. Du Shaoyang smiled and thanked. Yan Kuo also clasped his fists in salute, and the two walked to the camp tent on the right together.

When Bao Guocai was talking to the two, he also noticed the new injuries on their bodies, and what they went to do, he could roughly guess seven or eight points in his heart. Looking at their backs, Bao Guocai secretly said in his heart: Thank you!

In the right army account, Lu Jianfei saw Yan Kuo and Du Shaoyang walking in slowly, and his sharp eyes never left them for a moment. Du Shaoyang glanced at it, and said in his heart: This official leader of the imperial guard looks a little annoying.

"You are so bold. Lu Jianfei suddenly said angrily.

Wang Yixin was startled by his roar, he screamed in his heart, this guy was really angry.

"Lord Bao actually let you in, it's just nonsense. Lu Jianfei continued.

"My lord, the wind is biting outside, and now that the enemy is present, it is better not to fight infighting. Wang Yixin plucked up his courage and said.

"Shut up, when will it be your turn to speak here?" Lu Jianfei glared angrily and said fiercely.

Wang Yixin was bored with himself, and said in his heart: If it weren't for the sake of these brothers, I wouldn't have come to serve you, the master. Anyway, I'm also a hero who stole the talisman and made meritorious contributions to the emperor, so you yelled at me so unceremoniously?

"Lord Lu, this matter started with Yan, and Yan also explained to Lord Bao just now that after the enemy army retreats, the two of us are willing to be dealt with by military law. Du Shaoyang took the lead. Hearing his words, Xiao Duyu, who was originally indifferent, frowned slightly. I was able to come to the capital this time, and Du Shaoyang took care of him all the way, how could I not worry?

"Hmph, a good sentence to deal with afterwards, do you two want to make up for your merits? Haven't you heard that there is no military law, how can you serve the public? Acting without authorization and leaving the camp without permission, I can kill you now without reporting to the emperor to make an example, you know?" Lu Jianfei's overwhelming momentum seemed to be about to move seriously.

"Lord Lu!" Yan Kuo, who had always respected Lu Jianfei, actually stopped loudly, everyone present was shocked, he paused, and then said: "You have always been the person Yan admires the most, not only your martial arts, but also your overall situation and ability, which Yan has always wanted to chase after. Yan is indeed at fault in the first place, and for whatever reason, I should be punished. But the enemy is at present, how can it be such a child's play, although the two of us are injured, but we still have the strength to fight again, if we are dealt with by military law at this time, not only will the brothers of my Zhaoxian Pavilion not be convinced, but also will shake the heart of the army, this is a hundred harms and no benefits, I hope Lord Lu thinks twice. After speaking, Yan Kuo actually clenched his fists and knelt on one knee.

Du Shaoyang looked at Yan Kuo's appearance and shook his head slightly.

Lu Jianfei didn't expect Yan Kuo, who had always been principled, to contradict himself so much at this moment, he was not angry but happy, and personally stepped forward to help him get up, and said, "Okay, that's a good point." You are also a person with the talent of a general, and this time you can impress the official. Do I still see that the two of you are wounded? You know, I used to deal with the heroes of the rivers and lakes a lot, did I fight head-on with the army of Mabo?"

Yan Kuo nodded with a positive look, and Lu Jianfei gave him an affirmative look.

Seeing Lu Jianfei's sudden change in attitude, Du Shaoyang smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: After becoming an official, people are always so unhappy, so careful, and always have to play to the extreme, which is really ridiculous.

Xu Qianlong, who was standing with his eyes closed on the side, was an old Jianghu, and he had long been accustomed to such routines, so he didn't think it was strange, but his apprentice Xu Yuan muttered: "This adult is really weird, and his cold face is also a good intention, if you don't yell at him twice, you will continue to shout and kill." ”

"Don't say much. Xu Qianlong snapped.

"Oh. Xu Yuan had no choice but to be silent.

"Go ahead, go and bandage the wound first, and let the doctor girl show you. Lu Jianfei seems to have forgiven their actions.

"Lord Lu, our minor injuries are not serious, but the enemy soldiers are numerous, if we fight hard, we are afraid that we will suffer. Yan suggested that it is better to give full play to the strength of the heroes of our recruitment hall and do a good job of interference. ”

"If you don't say it, this official intends to do the same. Geng Ye will bring the imperial guards with you, and you can listen to my orders at that time. ”

"My lord, won't you come forward to kill the enemy?" Lu Zheng asked.

"The biggest duty of this official is to protect the emperor, do you understand?" Lu Jianfei's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his momentum of not being angry exuded, as if he had already prepared for the upcoming battle......
