Body 3: Drinking

In the cold wind, Xue Baohu stood quietly on the city wall, with the surging river at his feet. Liang Zhan and Han Dong left behind the shattered battlements when they fought, the marks were clearly visible, and in the turbid river water, the two people who fought bloodily just now were gone.

Liang Zhan won a hundred battles in his life, and his reputation was still above himself, and Liang Guo's iron wall guarded the weak Liang for nearly 30 years. This time he failed, but even his own life was buried. The general died in a hundred battles, and perhaps this will also be a portrayal of his own future.

Since Han Dong joined the army, he has destroyed the city one hundred and ninety-seven times, and he has been covered with large and small wounds all over his body. With the power of one person, he achieved the invincible name of the Black Knife Battalion. He just needs not to die, and one day he will stand proudly in front of everyone. This is a fact that Xue Baohu also has to admit.

In tonight's battle, Xue Baohu made the merit of destroying the country and removed the barriers in his heart. The Wei army lit the lights that covered the city and covered the sky, and it was the time to dance the fish and dragon at night to celebrate the journey. At this moment, he had an indescribable thought, and there was a faint feeling of excitement.

Looking back at Da Hei, who was holding a bright silver helmet, this armor was still given by King Wei after the Battle of Tianyou thirteen years ago. Ten years ago, he transferred it to Han Dong. has been fighting with Han Dong until now.

As if talking to himself, Xue Baohu muttered: "Twenty-one years ago, the master brought back the little junior brother. He was six years old that year and always followed me. There were only two of us by the master's side, and for three years, we were with each other day and night. Read books together and practice martial arts together. I thought this was the most life-long life. ”

After receiving Xue Baohu's orders, the East Gate Tower, which was not disturbed by the soldiers, was extremely quiet. There were only two people in the quiet city tower, and at this time, Xue Baohu suddenly had the idea of confiding in people.

When Da Hei heard Xue Baohu's words, his heart tightened, it turned out that Da Shuai and Han Dong were brothers. After so many years in the army, I have never heard of this.

In the blink of an eye, he suddenly understood that this was a secret that the handsome had never known to humanity. There was no more joy in my heart, and I couldn't help but want to retreat in shock.

Moving slightly, I felt the coldness of the helmet in my arms. His face darkened, in the battle that had just ended, as long as he reminded Han Dong to wear his helmet as usual, Han Dong would never die. Thinking of this, my heart was suddenly gloomy, and I stood silently on the spot.

Da Hei's move was unexpected by Xue Baohu, and he was already preparing that if he made any changes, he would kill the undercover agent he had sent to Han Dong's side ten years ago on the spot. Seeing that he was completely silent, he continued:

"The master has a strange rule that every disciple must leave the master at the age of six, and no one can be excluded. The same should be true of the brothers before me. After leaving the division, I joined the Wei army. I made a name for myself in the battle of Heavenly Blessing, and after Han Dong left the school, he came to look for me when he heard the news. I haven't seen him for six years, and I'm drunk before I rest. When I was getting drunk, I realized two things. The master has passed away, and Han Dong is our youngest junior brother. And I am not the opponent of Han Dong, who is only fifteen years old. ”

Xue Baohu's words revealed strong surprise and unwillingness. A general who has temporarily emerged in the Battle of Heavenly Blessing and has shown his qualities as a famous general. Full of ambition, is thinking about the world, and sees who in the world can resist the ambition. But he lost to his underage junior brother, and he was depressed and unhappy.

Da Hei has the will to die, but he let go of his worries. Listening attentively to the secrets in the heart of the big handsome, he was extremely curious about Xue Baohu and Han Dong's teacher. There are such strange people in the world, but I have never heard of them.

Only this person can teach two apprentices like Xue Baohu and Han Dong, it can be seen that this person is definitely a great talent. Hearing Xue Baohu's words, he realized that what he had always wanted to know, who was higher in martial arts between Da Shuai and Han Dong, had already achieved results twelve years ago. This may be the reason why he was sent undercover to Han Dong's side.

Xue Baohu's voice became deeper and lower, and the reason why the brothers were against the wall and turned against each other was actually this.

"On the long street that night, we were all drunk. It happened that the Khan sent an envoy to meet the King of Wei, and a dispute broke out between the two sides. I pretended to be drunk and provoked Han Dong to kill the envoy in anger. Han Dong was sentenced to be executed. I couldn't bear it, and I begged the king to be extrajudicial and merciful overnight, and put Han Dong into the black knife camp to die. While on death row, I made a pact with him to fight for the Black Knife Battalion 200 times. Two hundred times are full, and he is free to leave. Since then, I haven't drunk a single drink with him!"

Speaking of this, Xue Baohu's face was full of regret and extremely melancholy. I don't know if it's because of Han Dong's death, or if he hasn't drunk alcohol again in twelve years.

Hearing this, Da Hei, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask: "As far as I know, over the years, Han Tou, plus this siege, has been a total of one hundred and ninety-seven times, and there are three ......."

Xue Baohu turned around, and the purple-red cloak behind him suddenly floated out of the city wall, looking from a distance, as if standing in the air, like a god. The knife-like gaze stared at Da Hei, and the killing intent was undoubtedly exposed.

Taken by Xue Baohu's momentum, Da Hei took a few steps back, tightened the helmet in his hand, and then gritted his teeth and stood still. It was as if the helmet that Han Dong had worn gave him strength, and his eyes stubbornly responded to Xue Baohu.

Xue Baohu's temperament tonight is unfathomable, knowing that Xue Baohu has murderous intentions and knows that he will not escape the big black of death, so he dares to ask this question. In the night, Xue Baohu saw the helmet in Da Hei's arms, reflecting the lights of the city.

In the haze, it seemed that six-year-old Han Dong was calling for his senior brother. I couldn't help but soften in my heart, and I was killed.

"Tomorrow, you go to the baggage camp, where there is still a lack of lieutenants. The army is out of camp at dawn, and you don't have to follow it for the time being. You find someone to scoop up Han Dong's black knife before leaving. You also have to take good care of Han Dong's helmet......"

Xue Baohu's voice became deeper and lower, and the loneliness that came out of his heart was like a dream.

Da Hei knew that he had saved his life, but his heart was empty and extremely lost. Hearing Xue Baohu's last words, Da Hei understood that in the end, he was still out of Han Dong.

Xue Baohu saved himself from the guilt after removing Han Dong, and between the ups and downs, he couldn't remember how many times he had been saved by Han Dong.

The Great Wei military ranks are divided into nine ranks and twenty-one ranks. The rank of first-class general, the rank of second-class general, and the rank of third-class general can all be opened and built in the government, and they can be called marshal when they go out, and the above three ranks are the first class.

The second level is the rank of Lang General, which is divided into Zhong Lang General, left and right Zhong Lang General, Lang General and other four ranks. Lieutenant and lieutenant are three grades and four grades. The fourth rank of the lieutenant is two ranks, the fifth level of the thousand cavalry is two ranks, the sixth level of the small school is the first class, the first class of the seventh rank of the capital is the first class, the eighth level of the battalion is the first class, and the ninth level of the team is the first class. Directly below the team is the head of the pawn, which is not in the sequence.

The lieutenant referred to by Xue Baohu is only below General Lang, and his rank corresponds to the third rank, and the last time is also from the rank of fifth rank, and he has faintly stepped into the ranks of senior officers. has decided not to kill Dahei, although Xue Baohu has always scolded the officers and soldiers under his command, he has always rewarded and punished clearly. His subordinates have never taken the lead to lead the merit and did not reward the merit.

Da Hei received the military order and lurked beside Han Dong for nearly ten years, and it was not an exaggeration for Xue Baohu to pay him as a captain.

In the middle of the night, the tent of the commander of the Great Wei battalion was still brightly lit, and the pro-army outside the tent was like a comb, and the sound of orders was endless. There were three classes of sergeants in the tent, Xue Baohu was on top of the commander, and four other people were sitting on both sides.

The first one on the left is Han Che, the second prince of Ming Huang Wangfu. The eldest princess on the right is dressed in a goose yellow palace dress, which is grand, showing the royal family and nobles, graceful and gorgeous.

The founding lord has long made it clear that the children of the royal family below the level of the non-lord can only sit sideways when the general orders the troops, and must not interfere with the general's actions. This is the reason why the second prince and the eldest princess can only sit on their sides.

The commander of the cavalry army and the governor of the navy in this battle, all of whom are third-class generals, have all opened a government and led an army alone, and they sit under Han Che and Han Wei because of their status. The rest of the Lang will be in the star-studded tent, but they will not have seats, and can only stand according to their rank.

Xue Baohu waited for the flag gate officer to point out, and the order was like flying, except for the garrison army, all the officers and soldiers under his command did not disarm at night, and the army started on time in the early morning. There were already strikers who had been ordered to leave the tent and guard ahead of the army along the way.

The generals are preparing to give the order, so they will go and pass the order first. The army is drawn out, and it is not idle. There are too many things to prepare for. Even if it is the elite soldiers under the command of Xue Baohu, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

At this moment, Han Che stood up and said with a smile:

"Looking at the vigorous and majestic posture of the generals, it is really the sharp blade of my Great Wei to open up the territory and the iron wall to defend the land. This time, the beam was able to fight down, and it was fortunate that everyone worked together. Lonely for the Great Wei He, for the generals, and even more heroic sacrifices of the soldiers. Prepare a thin wine for you alone, I would like to express this heart! Come on, serve the wine!"

In the big tent, all the generals stood together, their right hands clasped their chests, solemnly agreed, and the sonorous sound could be heard from far and near in the big tent.

Han Che had already prepared after Xue Baohu personally went out into battle, and with an order, his own royal Jinwu guards carried the Great Wei wine.

A soldier had already poured wine for the soldiers in the tent, and in the sound of Han Che's toast, he raised his head and drank it. Han Che finished drinking the glass of Chinese wine, glanced at the entire tent, and smiled. only to find that Han Wei glanced at her side. Turning his head, the handsome Xue Baohu stared at the wine glass, but did not drink it.

Han Che said with a smile: "Why don't you drink it, this wine is a celebration wine prepared by this king for the triumph of the army." The marshal worked hard in this battle, strategized, and took the lead at a critical time. This wine should be drunk!"

Hearing Han Che's words, the big tent, which was slightly noisy, suddenly fell silent. Most of the soldiers in the tent have followed Xue Baohu for many years, and they all know that the marshal has not drunk alcohol for many years. The second prince's persuasion to drink, I am afraid that it will break up unhappily.

At present, the Great Wei Dynasty is extremely powerful, and only the two countries can compare with each other in Xiazhou. The crown prince of the Great Wei royal family is undecided, and the second prince is deeply loved by the King of Wei, and he was born to the most favored eldest princess.

Under Aiwu and Wu, the second prince is already the most powerful contender for the crown prince's throne. Refusing the second prince's good intentions, if he ascends to the throne, it is not good news for these Xue soldiers.

Sure enough, Xue Baohu bowed slightly and said apologetically:

"Your Highness also asks for forgiveness for your sins, and those who are in charge need to keep their heads clear at all times. The last general is not talented, and King Meng does not give up, and steals the position of general with a small merit. The last general did not dare to have the slightest luck, only self-denial, dedication to duty, and has not drunk for more than ten years. Please forgive your Highness, the wine given by Your Highness will be used in this cup to pay tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country! May the loyal soul of the country protect me for thousands of generations, and the fortune of the country will last forever!"

Xue Baohu's words were polite and courteous, and the last greeting made Han Che's heart even more excited, and he couldn't stop nodding. After the crowd raised their glasses again to the sacrificed soldiers. Han Che took the helmet that Xue Baohu placed on top of the handsome case, poured the wine with his own hands, walked up to Xue Baohu and said in a loud voice:

"Listening to what the marshal said, it's not that he has never drunk. In the past, every time there was a big battle, the generals of the previous dynasty would drink with their helmets to win, and after the battle, they would pour wine with their helmets and invite the meritorious soldiers to drink. Every time he heard about this, Che was always excited and couldn't help himself. Today is the right time, please drink this wine, don't let the predecessors be beautiful. ”

Han Che and Xue Baohu had already decided on a strategy to return to their division. It's just that this matter is too dangerous, and with Han Che's generosity, he also has a sense of gain and loss.

And after returning to Beijing, relying on Xue Baohu a lot, Han Che had to test him many times. In order to let Xue Baohu obey him, he didn't even care about being called lonely, and directly called himself by name.

Seeing that Xue Baohu was hesitating and about to speak, looking at his expression, most of them were politely refused. Han Che didn't wait for him to speak, handed the helmet to Han Wei, and motioned for Han Wei to send it over in person.

Han Wei's heart sank, knowing the implied meaning of this brother, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. It's just that the generals are on the side, and it's not good to have a seizure. had to follow Han Che's wishes and send the wine to Xue Baohu.

Xue Baohu looked at Han Wei's beautiful figure, and suddenly took his helmet in the hand of the slender jade. glanced sideways at Han Che and saw Han Che nodding slightly. Tilting his head and pouring down the wine of the helmet, the sound of swallowing in the big tent can be heard clearly.
