Xu Chang didn't expect Huyan Pixian to come to his room in person, as a former border soldier, he was still a little nervous, he had met in front of others before, and when he met such a veteran general alone, Xu Chang's heartbeat was much faster than usual. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You were a little nervous when you saw me?" Marshal Huyan couldn't help but smile when he noticed that Xu Chang's pale face had changed a little.

"Yes, the last general, oh no, it is the first time for Xia Guan to face to face with a martial veteran like you, and it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous. ”

"Hehe, there is no need to be like this, the old man came here to visit Xu Huwei. ”

"Visit me?" Xu Chang didn't expect the tall Marshal Huyan to talk to one of his juniors so humbly.

"Yes, the old man also apologized to Xu Huwei on behalf of several martial artists in the border pass. ”

"There is no need to apologize, you have never owed me anything to Xu Chang. Xu Chang suddenly understood his intention, and his dissatisfaction was revealed.

"You see, you're obviously still dissatisfied, and that's what we owe you. ”

"I, Xu Chang, have made countless meritorious contributions at the border pass, but most of the people who have been promoted are people from several of your martial arts families, or disciples of the disciples, or behind the generals, like me, who has no way out, where will there be any opportunity? Do you want me to return to the border army to serve? What position will I give me this time? Deputy general? Chief soldier? Because I have made meritorious service as a captain, because Yang Wenju died at the hands of Guo Zongde, but I killed Guo Zongde? Or was I beheaded in front of the two armies?"

The old marshal was silent, he knew that at the border pass, more than one general like Xu Chang was buried, and most of King Xiangyang's subordinates were such people: Wang Jixian, Wang Jizu, Guo Zongde, Xiang Hong, etc., of course, including Xu Chang.

"Why don't you speak? Old marshal, is what I said a little unpleasant? I have killed more than ten times more enemy soldiers in the border army than the soldiers I have led! But I have no chance of promotion, just because my master has already resigned, and when I resigned, I was only a lieutenant general!"

"It's really difficult for border soldiers to be promoted, do you know why?"

"Because the position above is all yours!"

"That's right, the head coach of the side court will basically not be occupied by outsiders, but there is still Ding Hao Ding General Soldier among them, who has been the head of Xiongguan Town, and before him, there is Zhong Yuanzhong General Soldier, maybe you don't know, this Zhong General Soldier is Junshan Zhong Xiong's father!"

"Zhong Taibao's father? Isn't he the righteous son of Li Pingtao, Junshan's 'Minghu Jade Mirror'?

"It's an orphan, his father was my general back then, how can I not know, when his father died in battle, he was less than ten years old, he studied art with Li Pingtao in Dongting Lake, and the bell was far away from dying, I haven't mentioned this matter to others for so many years, you are the first to know. ”

"Why did the old marshal tell me this, because Zhong Xiong is also a chief soldier now?"

"Not only that, but Pang Taishi is also a military exploit made in the east and west, and the old prince Yue of the Five Armies is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties and a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he has been a father for many years, so where did he come from to support his predecessors? The military exploits are fought down little by little, think about it, when you were a border army, you took the first rank, how could your superiors not have a victory? Are his superiors able to command the law? There is no change in the official positions above, is it not easy to be promoted? The imperial court can't say that you can increase your official positions to promote more people, right? It's hard to be a border army, but those who have the ability will definitely not be buried!"

"I mentioned the bell to you because he is very similar to you now, a young hero, he sacrificed his life for the country for the sake of the old man and me! I saw the excitement of you wearing armor and carrying a halberd on your horse, I knew that you still wanted to show off your prestige on the battlefield and make a name for yourself at the border!"

"But so what? Now I'm in the school lieutenant's office, but in a few years, I've already lived in the fourth grade, and at the same time, I'm not even a garrison at the border!"

"Since you no longer need to survive these years, then why don't you return to the border army as a four-rank military attaché? In the border pass, Ding Hao, Zhong Shengyuan, and Pang Ji can all be extremely popular ministers, why can't you? I heard that Ding Hao's status in the martial arts is not low, and serving in the border army does not prevent you from becoming famous in the martial arts, on the contrary, it will make the people in the martial arts look up to you even more, such an example, in addition to Ding Hao, there is also your master, they were originally known as the six heroes of Liaodong, in addition to being dominant in the border pass, they are also famous in the martial arts, right?"

"There is no difference between me back then and me now, when I was called by a group of incompetent people, but now there is a generalissimo who comes to beg me personally?" Xu Chang laughed, laughed more than once, Marshal Huyan was quietly watching him laugh, he was laughing at himself, and he was also laughing at all the martial arts families, this laughter was an invisible slap, slapped on their faces again and again.

Marshal Huyan knew that if the Xiangyang King had not been able to help these talented young people in this military disaster, he might have been pacified a long time ago, and he hoped that more young people would be discovered and appointed, at least she was unwilling to give up the one in front of her.

"Xu Huwei, do you really have to think about the battlefield again? Are you really unwilling to charge in front of the two armies and fight to the death with foreign enemies to protect your family and defend the country? Xu Huwei I know that you have an opinion on us martial arts families, but I can promise you that if you are willing to join the army, your official position will definitely be higher than now, and I am willing to give you a chance, you can recommend those talents you think are not met, capable, and buried! I hope that such a remedy is not too late, and I hope that in the future, in front of the two armies, I will see you young and talented people, and you will fight on the battlefield! Kill the enemy and serve the country! This is not a man's life in vain!"

"Marshal Huyan, are you really willing to pay so much in exchange for me a fourth-grade guard?" Xu Chang still looked at the old marshal who was over seventy years old with a playful expression.

"Yes, I really do, because you deserve it!" the old marshal looked directly at Xu Chang with a determined gaze.

From his gaze, Xu Chang seemed to see the figure of the master back then, the perseverance of General Ding, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers at the border gates! Is he really unwilling to go to the battlefield again? Is Xu Chang, who is crisscrossing the martial arts, still a little Wenhou?

Thinking of this, Xu Chang smiled, he knew that he was convinced.

"Okay, I promise you, after Chang'an City is broken, you can ask Banzai for an order to transfer me to the army!"

Marshal Huyan's hanging heart finally let go, the old man smiled, he patted Xu Chang's shoulder, and did not speak.

Early the next morning, the vanguard army went out of Tongguan again, 10,000 horses and flags were displayed, the trumpet was fluttering, and the big beetle in the middle was replaced by a big Xu character!

In the team, on top of a red charcoal fire dragon pony sat a young general wearing a head-swallowing beast-faced chain armor and a colorful and flowered battle robe, stroking his one hundred and eight pounds of painted halberd, muttering to himself: "Man, I have wronged you a little these days!"
