Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Liangzhouwei was very busy for a while after the incident with Ridamuzi.

After the soldiers who died in the battle are buried and erected, they will also be named in the military register, and when they return to Shuojing in the future, they will pay funeral silver to the families of the recruits. The recruits who died were all sentinels, and most of them were still very young. Less than a year after coming to Liangzhouwei, he died in battle, and the friends who got along with each other day and night were also very depressed for a while.

But the depression has returned to depression, and the days will continue. Especially after this time, Liangzhouwei was not as safe as before. Xiao Jue instructed the head coach Shen to start a new array drill-if you really have to encounter an enemy, the recruits can only kill the enemy by learning the layout of the army.

Not all the Nanfu soldiers arrived in Liangzhou. When Xiao Jue rushed back from Qingnan, he brought 10,000 Nanfu soldiers. The Jiuqi Battalion remained in Qingnan and never followed. Now that Liangzhou City has become a target of public criticism, it is really not suitable for the limelight.

The daily training of Nanfu soldiers is different from that of Liangzhouwei. As Xiao Jue said, the duration and total amount of daily training are three times that of Liangzhouwei. The recruits of Liangzhouwei couldn’t help but admire every time they saw the strength of the Nanfu soldiers’ daily training.

Suddenly, the previously empty martial arts field became lively. Under Baiyue Mountain, beside Wulu River, soldiers are always there.

He Yan’s injury also healed day by day.

Lin Shuanghe’s medical skills are much more sophisticated than Shen Muxue. He originally thought that such an injury would not be better if he didn’t lie down for a year or a half. Now, at this speed, in two months, He Yan feels that he can still go to the martial arts field to jump around. .

Song Taotao put the soup in front of He Yan, and after watching He Yan drank it, he took the bowl and went out. The little girl didn’t know how to cook by herself, so she went to the gang leader to rob her as her eldest lady, and feed He Yan to those who robbed her to eat. Sometimes He Yan would have the illusion that he was eating soft rice, but at first he was a little embarrassed, but he became accustomed to it more often.

After all, the soup is delicious, if the little girl doesn’t have to look at her like her own baby, it would be even better.

At the other end of the room, people’s voices were faintly heard, seeming to be Liang Ping’s, and a little excited.

He Yan thought about it on the bed, then got up and got out of the bed with a stick.

She took out the silver thread from her sleeve and stabbed it into the lock. After picking the lock, she knew how to do it. Fortunately, Xiao Jue turned a blind eye to her behavior, and never changed the lock to a more complicated “shi” shape. Xiao Jue’s important official documents are probably not in this room on weekdays, so they are so loose.

He Yan pushed the middle door open a small slit, and saw that there was a person kneeling in front of Xiao Jue, who was actually Du Mao, who hadn’t seen him for a long time. Since the incident of Ridamuzi, the identity of Lei Hou’s spy has been exposed. As a relative of Lei Hou, Du Mao, the original recommender, was nowhere to be seen. When Cheng Lisu said that Du Mao seemed to be locked up, He Yan could also understand that Lei Hou was a traitor, and no one could guarantee that Du Mao was innocent.

Now that Du Mao appeared here, his grievances were probably cleared.

In addition to Du Mao who was kneeling in the room, there were also a group of coaches standing. He Yan saw Liang Ping step forward and begged: “The governor, the head coach Du and Lei Hou have not seen each other for many years. Lei Hou is a traitor, and he really doesn’t know it. Please also ask the governor to open up the internet.”

“Yes, Governor,” Ma Damei couldn’t help but said, “Teacher Du has been in Liangzhouwei for ten years. He has never made any mistakes. If Leihou hadn’t deliberately concealed it, it would not be where he is now. Please Governor. In view of the hard work of Teacher Du for so many years, he should be punished lightly.”

All the teachers agreed and pleaded for Du Mao.

Du Mao came to Liangzhouwei when he was in his twenties. Seongil has nothing to play around in the sanitation, at most, the teachers gather to drink and drink during the holidays. What we do on weekdays is either training soldiers or defending the ground.

The coaches had a deep friendship, and naturally they didn’t want to see Du Mao’s life lost by Lei Hou, and couldn’t bear it, so they came to intercede.

Shen Han moved his lips, and finally said nothing. It wasn’t that he and Du Mao didn’t have a deep relationship, but even though he had only had less than a year to get along, Shen Han knew that the second son Xiao in front of him was definitely not someone who would change his mind for the sake of others.

Sure enough, Xiao Jue ignored what others said, looked at Du Mao, and only said, “What are you going to do?”

He Yan still remembered that when he first came to Liangzhouwei, this coach named Du Mao had a good relationship with Liang Ping. Now, in just a few days, he seems to be ten years old, sporadic white hair has grown from his temples, and his expression is much older.

Du Mao spoke, his tone of exhaustion that could not be concealed: “Du Mao is willing to accept punishment.”

“Du Mao!” Liang Ping called his name anxiously.

“I didn’t know Lei Hou’s current status and rashly recommended him to the guard station. This is a malfeasance.” Du Mao said, “I should be punished by the supervisor.”

“You are indeed dereliction of duty.” Xiao Jue said calmly, “Because of you, Liangzhou Guard has killed many recruits.”

The coaches who still wanted to continue to persuade took action, but did not dare to speak.

“The dead will not be resurrected.” Xiao Jue said: “Understand?”

“Du Mao understands.”

The room was silent, and Liang Ping looked at Du Mao with despair.

“I will not take your life.”

When these words came out, everyone in the room was taken aback, and He Yan was also taken aback.

Xiao Jue said: “Let’s go.”

“The Governor…”

“From today, you are no longer the coach of Liangzhouwei.” Xiao Jue stood up and walked outside the house, “You don’t have to come back in the future.”

His figure disappeared outside the house. After a moment of silence in the house, Ma Damei recovered and went to pull Du Mao who was still kneeling on the ground: “Okay, okay, the governor is also open to you, get up quickly.”

Du Mao stood there blankly, and suddenly howled.

The comfort of everyone in the room combined with Du Mao’s crying made He Yan a little forehead pain. She grabbed her clothes and put them on her body, followed by walking out the door with a stick. As soon as she left the door, she was shivered by the wind and snow outside.

Where is Xiao Jue? He Yan looked around, this person just left the house, now he is gone? Can you fly?

“Look for me?” Someone’s voice came from behind, and He Yan took a breath of fright, almost unable to grasp the stick in his hand.

She turned around and saw Xiao Jue standing behind her, staring at her with raised eyebrows, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“No, it’s okay.” He Yan looked at the sky, “The weather is very good, I’ll go out for a walk.”

Xiao Jue glanced at the sand-like snow grains outside, and mocked: “I thought you just didn’t overhear enough. If you have something, I want to ask me personally.”

He actually knew he was eavesdropping? This is embarrassing. He Yan scratched his head, “The governor’s ears are really good.”

Xiao Jue bends his lips, “Not as good as you.”

“Stop talking,” he asked, “What do you want me for?”

What are you looking for? He Yan didn’t know, but just followed it subconsciously. She lost her words for a moment, thought about it, and said, “Du Governor, you still show mercy to Teacher Du.”

It’s one thing for the coaches to have a personal relationship with Du Mao, and it’s one thing for Du Mao himself to make a mistake. He Yan thought that with Xiao Jue’s temperament, Du Mao could hardly escape to death. He did not expect that he would only be expelled from Liangzhouwei in the end.

Xiao Jue laughed, seeming to think her words were funny, “You are merciful?”

“Yes, if it’s me…”

“What about you?”

He Yan suddenly couldn’t tell.

What will happen to her instead? She went from a small soldier to a lieutenant to a general. It was not that she had never encountered such a situation. In fact, General Feihong was no more merciful than Xiao Jue under his rule. But most of the time, others subconsciously ignored it, just because she usually fights with her subordinates, and she won’t have the unkind “great achievements” like Xiao Jue.

If it were her, would she order Du Mao’s life to be taken?

“It’s me, and I won’t.” He Yan said: “Taking Du Mao’s life seems to be a strict military order, but it actually hurts people. Liangzhou Wei has just passed the Rida Muzi incident, and the hearts of Liangzhou Wei are scattered. It’s like a plate of loose sand, it’s difficult to stand up.”

Xiao Jue looked at her with a little surprise: “Yes.”

He Yan proudly said: “I said earlier, I am the first in Liangzhou. I am very smart, how about it, the governor, can you let me enter the Jiuqi Camp?”

Xiao Jue bends the corner of his mouth: “No.”

This person is really stubborn. He Yan was about to argue a few more words for himself, when he saw him turning around and continuing to move forward, He Yan followed with a stick and asked, “Where is the governor going?”

“Exercise field.”

“Are you going to see soldiers training?” He Yan said, “I’ll go too!”

After she was injured, she naturally couldn’t follow the day training. In addition to lying on the bed every day, just walking around with a stick twice outside the house, which is really boring and tight. Even though Song Taotao and Cheng Lisu came over to talk to her in a short time, these two people, one only remembers which girl in the capital gave birth to which beauty and which lady was happy with the trivial things of Lin’er, and the other did nothing but eat, drink and play. Knowing, He Yan talked to them very hard. Lin Shuanghe, the only one who could speak two sentences, was invited by Shen Muxue to the hospital to help the wounded soldier boil medicine.

Therefore, when Xiao Jue said to go to the martial arts field, He Yan was a little bit ready to move.

The snow is smaller, and it’s not as cold outside. He Yan couldn’t walk fast with a stick, and complained, “Captain, wait for me!”

With such a justified tone, Xiao Jue couldn’t help but pause. He asked, “Am I your servant?”

“No,” He Yan came back to his senses and explained: “I mean, let’s go slower and talk about something else by the way, cough, did Leihou say why Rita Muzi came here? Let’s find the fault in the Weisuo? The chaos in the West Qiang was not settled by General Feihong long ago. Where did the Qiang people come from so many soldiers?”

Tens of thousands of soldiers, the Qiang people now have so many people? He Yan fought Ritamuji at the beginning, and he was very familiar with the situation of the Qiang people, and he always felt that it was not quite right.

“It’s not the Qiang ethnic group,” Xiao Jue answered He Yan’s question, “it’s a Utuo.”

“Utuo?” This time, He Yan was really surprised.

Xiao Jue glanced at her, looked at her astonished expression, and said calmly: “What do you think?”

Is this testing her? He Yan asked, “Is Ridamuzi a Utuo?”

Xiao Jue was speechless for a moment before he said: “He is not a Utopian, but apart from Rita Muzi and a few cronies who have fought with you before, the rest of the soldiers are all Utopian.”

“The governor is sure?”

Xiao Jue walked forward unhurriedly: “Yes.”

“If it is really a Utuo,” He Yan’s voice was already three-point dignified, “The Utuo is not just a Liangzhou guard.”

“how do I say this?”

“In recent years, the Utuo country has raised its troops and has a strong force. It always harassed the people at the borders, which has a sense of temptation. Now when I come to Liangzhouwei, he hides himself in the dark on the grounds of the Qiang ethnic group. Taking advantage of the name of the Qiang nationality, first acted violently in the Great Wei Dynasty.”

“The governor might as well think about it. If you really went to Zhangtai and couldn’t help, wait until those Utopians occupy Liangzhouwei, and then seize the city. Liangzhou City is occupied by the Utopians, as if they were torn off at the Great Wei border. With a hole, they can go all the way west, drive straight in, and follow the river until they reach the capital.”

Xiao Jue raised his eyes: “That’s it?”

“Da Wei is afraid of treacherous collaborating with the enemy and treason,” He Yan said: “This person has Utuo people and has a private relationship, and he has old acquaintances with the governor.”

Xiao Jue: “Go on.”

“Able to plant cronies in Liangzhou Guardian without knowing it, and spread false news in Zhangtai. This person is not low in status and has a wide network of contacts. Knowing that the governor is in Liangzhou will be as solid as a golden soup. Go, this person must be very afraid of you. Therefore,” He Yan looked at Xiao Jue: “Perhaps there is such a person, who has a high status in the court, and has fought against the governor in the past but did not get any benefits. If there is such a person , Nine out of ten, he did it.”

Xiao Jue stared at her, and simply said: “Then you might as well tell, who is this person?”

Now He Yan felt really inexplicable. Although she and Xiao Jue had classmates, it was only a year. Then I haven’t seen them for many years, one in the south and one in the north. Xiao Jue was trapped in the vortex of the court because of Xiao Zhongwu’s affairs, but she was innocent and was promoted forcibly by military service. How can she guess who that person is?

Even if it is a school entrance examination, it is too difficult, and not everyone is like him, sleeping can sleep as the first in Xianchang Hall.

Thinking of what happened to Yuan Baozhen before, He Yan said casually: “Xu Jingfu?”

Xiao Jue was startled.

Seeing his expression, He Yan moved in his heart: “Is it really him?”

Xiao Jue did not answer.

“Xu Jingfu actually collaborating with the enemy to treason?” He Yan was shocked, “He is crazy! He is the prime minister, what good is it for him to do this kind of thing!”

“You can speak a little louder,” Xiao Jue said indifferently: “If there is no evidence, you can sue you for slandering court officials at any time.”

He Yan thought to himself, who is not a court official anymore? When she was General Feihong in her previous life, she also ate the emperor’s food.

“But, but…” What else did she want to say, Xiao Jue had already stopped and moved forward. Not far away, there was the sound of soldiers drinking the formation.

Unconsciously, the two of them have already reached the martial arts field.

The martial arts field used to have only Liangzhouwei’s daily training for recruits, but now it is divided into two sides, with the Nanfu soldiers training on the east and Liangzhouwei’s people on the west. At this moment, the two sides are training troops at the same time, and the gap appears.

The deputy commander of the Nanfu Soldier is training the footsteps, and no one needs to be commanded. The recruits of Liangzhouwei, who had just begun to learn to line up, inevitably got a little rushed, standing on the high platform, Shen Han roared vigorously.

He Yan looked around and hesitated: “Is this practicing…fish scale formation?”

Xiao Jue glanced at her sideways and asked, “You know?”

Here comes, he comes to test again. Although He Yan was a little confused about Xiao Jue’s questions from time to time, but thinking that maybe he was preparing to test whether he could enter the Nine Banners Camp, he had to answer seriously: “The ladder is distributed, the front end is slightly convex, and the center is assembled. The main force is divided into several small fish-scale arrays. When facing the enemy, you can concentrate your forces to launch a fierce attack on the center of the enemy’s array, but the weakness lies in the tail. If the enemy breaks through from the tail, the formation can be broken. It is the fish-scale array. That’s right, it’s just…” She said, “They are too loose.”

It’s too loose! They had to line up so slowly, they had been beaten to death five times long ago.

Xiao Jue looked at her thoughtfully, then suddenly curled his lips and said, “It’s not bad.”

He Yan was very proud. Hard work is still rewarding. Who would have thought that Hyunchang Hall was the last one, and now he is meticulous about the art of war. Even if he is facing the first question of Hyunchang Hall, he can easily answer it. In recent years, there is no gray hair in the battles, and the books have not been practiced in vain, which is enough.

“Have learned the art of war?” Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows.

“Know a little bit.”

“Know how to set up an array?”

“Don’t dare to be it.”

“Okay,” Xiao Jue looked at the soldiers who were training in the audience, and said: “If Damuzi came to Liangzhou to guard that day, you were not locked in the dungeon, and Shen Han handed over the military power to you for command. How would you like this battle? beat?”

Are you going to have a problem so soon?

He Yan thought for a moment, and slowly said, “Those Xi…Utuo soldiers are strong, brutal and brutal. The recruits of Liangzhouwei have not been on the battlefield. The morale is low and it is difficult to fight head-on. It will not be solved in a short time. If it were me…I would use the car to hang out.”

Xiao Jue looked at her quietly: “Go on.”

“As the main general, I will be located in the center of the formation, and the outer forces will be deployed layer by layer. Disperse the forces outside and form a swimming formation. When facing a battle, I will rotate in the same direction and attack the enemy formation in turn, like a rotating wheel. In this case, I will always face the enemy. If the First Army does not continuously exert pressure, the Utopians will collapse due to exhaustion, and our own side will be replenished and repaired due to taking turns to regain combat strength.”

“Are you the main general?” Xiao Jue sneered.

“I mean, I temporarily acted as the main commander. The only one who really wants to fight is the captain. The reason why I choose the car suspension is to delay the time so that the captain can come back to support you.” He Yan said very much. sincere.

Xiao Jue turned around, leaned slightly, looked at her with his eyes down, curled his lips and said, “Miss He Da has learned the art of war well. It would be a shame not to be a general.”

No matter what, Xiao Jue had a good vision. He Yan nodded and said: “I feel the same way. I think I am born to be a general. Sometimes I even feel that I was a female general in my previous life.”

Xiao Jue: “…”

“Do you not believe the governor?” He Yan took a stick to poke a hole in the snow. “Or the governor thought that women should not be a general.”

“I didn’t think so.”

He Yan raised his head to look at him. Everyone thinks that a woman should stay in her boudoir, embroider her eyebrows, and wait for her husband’s favor, not to mention being a female general. Vision.

Very few can take that step, and even if they do, they cannot be understood by others.

“You can do whatever you want,” the young man frowned lazily, and twitched the corner of his mouth. “You can do it.”

He Yan was taken aback, staring at him without saying a word.

His gaze fell on the martial arts ground in the distance again, and fell on the training recruits, not seeing He Yan’s gaze behind him.

“Thank you.” He Yan whispered in his heart.

Xue gradually stopped, and the recruits led by Shen Han, after a few training sessions, became proficient, not as panicked as they were at the beginning. The initial success of the array was achieved, and Xiao Jue and He Yan also stood here for a long time.

A familiar voice rang from behind: “Huaijin! He…brother!”

He Yan looked back and found that it was Lin Shuanghe. Lin Shuanghe climbed to the attic, dusted the snow from his boots, and said, “No wonder you were looking everywhere and you can’t find it. You came here. Why?” He looked at Xiao Jue and said with a narrow smile: “With Sister He came to see the soldiers?”

He Yan: “…Doctor Lin, please don’t call my sister outside.”

“Sorry,” Lin Shuanghe covered his mouth with a fan, and said sorry: “I forgot for a while. But there are no outsiders here.” He glanced at He Yan’s stick and asked, “You can get out of bed and walk so far today. Is it done? How is the wound still hurting?”

“It doesn’t hurt.” He Yan said, “Dr. Lin has superb medical skills, and I’m much better today.”

“That would be great,” Lin Shuanghe shook the fan, “If I can’t cure you, I will feel very guilty in my heart.”

The two of them complimented each other. Xiao Jue watched coldly. He seemed impatient and said: “Just say anything.”

Lin Shuanghe was taken aback, and said, “Hey! I almost forgot about the business. I just came to Liangzhou Guardian. I wanted to find Teacher Shen, but he was not there. It took me a long time to find you here.”

“who?”

“The people from the palace said that your majesty will give you a reward for the great victory of Liangzhou Wei. By the way, there is that, that…” He didn’t think of it for a while before remembering his name, and said: “Bo Shi Jin The fourth son of the house, Chu Zilan! Yes, Chu Zilan is here too.”

“Chu Zhao?” Xiao Jue frowned: “What is he doing?”

Lin Shuanghe shrugged, “How do I know? People are waiting at the gate of the guard, won’t you go and see?”

Xiao Jue paused, and walked downstairs: “Let’s go.”

“Hey, the Governor, what about me?” He Yan hurriedly slid the stick, trying to keep up, but he didn’t know if he could follow this occasion. Look at Xiao Jue’s appearance, not like an old friend recounting the past.

Xiao Jue glanced at her and said, “You go back, you don’t have to follow.”

“Oh.” He Yan obediently agreed, and Lin Shuanghe waved his hand at her, and the two of them went down the pavilion very quickly, their backs disappearing in the distance.

He Yan looked at the vast snowfield with some doubts in his heart.

Who is this person named Chu Zilan?
