Volume 1 Covering the Sky with One Hand Chapter 61 Comrades
Liang Fenghou and Liu Shuoyun rode together. After Jiang Zimo was escorted out of Yanzhou, they hurried to catch up with the team and headed to the frontier fortress together.
Cui Yingong committed a crime in his early years and recorded a big mistake in the military register. He spent these years training new recruits in Chongdu and had no chance of promotion. In addition, he had to go to the frontier to replace him, so Liang Fenghou became his immediate general from now on.
"Don't worry about it. After entering the pass, we will all be our brothers from now on." Liang Fenghou loosened the reins and let the horse walk slowly. "The war outside the Great Wall is tense now. It's time for you to make contributions."
Liang Fenghou's words were very cold, and Cui Yingong's smile also stiffened a bit.
Liu Shuoyun knew that Liang Fenghou was such a cold-tempered person. He looked at Cui Yingong and smiled warmly, saying: "Now the recruitment order has been changed. From now on, all the people in the pass will be brothers of the Forbidden Army in the west of the city. Haha. These are all handled by Colonel Cui."
If you bring them up, you may have to trouble Captain Cui with the expansion of the army, recruitment, training, etc."
When Cui Yingong heard this, his smile became more natural. He patted the armor on his chest and made a soft sound, saying: "Sir, what are you talking about? The new army has been training for four years, and I only do a small inspection in my humble position.
.The real skills were all taught by Instructor Black Bear, he is the one who deserves credit for his hard work.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Fenghou glanced at the black bear who was following him, and then said coldly: "There is no war in Chongdu. Most of the recruits of the imperial army in the west of the city are southerners from Panzhou and Chongdu. The bitter cold in the north is not as cold as in the south.
It’s warm. It’s hot during the day in the summer in Guan, and it’s colder at night than in the twelfth lunar month and winter. Captain Cui.”
Upon hearing this, Cui Yingong immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Here you are."
"The veterans in the pass are all ruthless people who have experienced hundreds of battles. Their skills are not acquired through training." Liang Fenghou looked at him sideways, "They are acquired through fighting for their lives."
Cui Yingong didn't know whether it was because of the heat or because of Liang Fenghou's tone. At this moment, some sweat broke out on his back for no apparent reason. He nodded repeatedly and repeated "Yes, yes." in a low voice.
Liang Fenghou continued like a blow in the autumn wind: "After entering the pass, the Imperial Guards in the west of the city should not make excuses for being the Imperial Guards in Chongdu. The new recruits have never seen blood, so it is difficult to tell whether they are upright men."
Cui Yingong lowered his head a little more and repeated "Yes, yes."
Liu Shuoyun smiled and comforted him, and said, "No, you are now the captain of Manhong Pass. You and I are all military bureaucrats, why should we be so humble and be granted the title of marquis?"
Liu Shuoyun secretly winked at Liang Fenghou. Liang Fenghou saw it, then he raised his neck and looked at the sky without saying anything.
"Captain Cui, we are at the pass ahead. Let Instructor Hei arrange the team, and don't cause any trouble." Liu Shuoyun pointed to the light armor on Cui Yingong, "When the sleeping area is arranged, this light armor
I have to change it too."
"This is natural. Although we people have been working in Chongdu all year round, we have also heard rumors about the frontier fortress." Cui Yingong said deliberately and flatteringly, "The frontier fortress soldiers in the Bloody Sand Song are wearing black armor. Our brothers in the Forbidden Army in the west of the city are all
envy--"
As soon as these words came out, Liang Fenghou looked back at him indifferently, with a cold expression.
Cui Yingong's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly changed his words: "Brothers will serve as soldiers at the frontier in the future. Being able to wear the armor of the seniors is a virtue and blessing accumulated in the previous life."
"Speaking of this." Liu Shuoyun frowned and looked at Liang Fenghou, "The armor in the customs is all old. After the veterans retired, there were also many recruits. The armor they replaced may not be enough." z
.br
This is a problem that has not been solved since the seventh year of Zhongyong. In four years, Chong did not send any generals, and he did not even send 10% new baggage and weapons.
Liang Fenghou said nothing, but tightened his grip on the reins.
"Lord Sikong has thought of this." Cui Yingong added with a smile, "Zuo Cheng, the examiner under the examination room, is in the team this time. There are many new armors and weapons in the car behind."
Liang Fenghou looked at Liu Shuoyun and nodded calmly, and the fatigue in Liu Shuoyun's eyebrows gradually dissipated.
The team soon arrived at the city gate at the pass. The soldiers on duty stood solemnly at the city gate wearing black armor. As soon as their eyes with gaps in their iron helmets saw the leader Liang Fenghou, they immediately shouted loudly!
"The Captain is back, open the city gate quickly!!!"
"Open the city gate!!!
"
Shouts echoed from the long and winding corridor, and several soldiers immediately stood up and lifted the crossbar of the door, and then opened the city gate.
There was a long queue to enter.
Liang Fenghou rode his horse to the spacious school ground before stopping. He dismounted, pointed to the entrance and blew the whistle. A black shadow immediately rushed out of the Eagle Tower, and immediately swooped down and clasped him tightly with both claws.
's shoulders.
This is a black eagle as big as a young child.
Liu Shuoyun dismounted and handed the reins to the soldier, and then said teasingly: "I haven't seen this eagle in a few days. I'm afraid you can't sleep all night thinking about it?"
"Ever since I was little, my eagle in this building is the biggest and most ferocious." Liang Fenghou took the white meat handed over by the soldier and fed it to the eagle. He looked at it with doting eyes, "General Zhen gave it to me personally.
"
Liu Shuoyun smiled. At this time, a soldier wearing iron armor rushed towards him. When he arrived, he knelt down neatly on one knee, presented a bamboo slip with both hands, and said urgently: "Report! Flying Eagle of Shensha Camp
Express."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shuoyun immediately took it, then spread it out to read it quickly, then handed it to Liang Fenghou and said, "Look at the information beyond the Great Wall."
Liang Fenghou took it, his starry eyes swept over it like lightning, and he immediately grasped it with his palm.
"The Canaites have entered the belly of the right courtyard. There is something fishy about this." He turned sideways to Liu Shuoyun and said in a consultative tone, "Since General Zhen wiped out the right courtyard of the foreign invaders, the remnants of the foreign invaders have moved to the back of the central courtyard to recuperate. These
What are the people of Cana doing there?"
"I remember that it was the site of an ancient river bed." Liu Shuoyun twisted his beard and thought, "Judging from the battle reports sent to Yanzhou, the Canaanites invaded one after another on the coast, numbering in the millions. The terrain of the coast is depressed.
, the sand dunes are so high that when the sea tide rises at night, the beach will be flooded, making it impossible to camp. Maybe they plan to set up camp at the former site of Youting."
"Your Excellency, you know a thousand miles." The soldier nodded and said, "I was on duty at Shensha Camp a few days ago. I heard the battle report received from the front line said that the Canaites gathered in the area of the former site of Youting with large ships, and there were people on board.
There are probably hundreds of thousands of people in Xinmu. However, they neither advance nor retreat, and ignore our spying scouts and the samurai sent by foreign invaders."
"They took the boat into the desert?" Liu Shuoyun was surprised, "Do you know what they were doing there?"
"Listen to the information from the trapped camp." The soldier put his hand under his helmet and scratched his chin, "They seem to be building a very high platform there with wood. It is now higher than the Eagle Tower."
"Putting up a stage?" Liu Shuoyun looked at Liang Fenghou in confusion, "There are monks and monsters among the people of Cana. For such strange things, could they be performed on the stage and perform magic?"
Liang Fenghou stroked the eagle's wings, looked at the soldiers and asked, "How is the Trumpet Camp doing now?"
Liang Fenghou had already received the urgent message from the post station on the road, so he knew the defeat of the Chuijiao Camp very well.
The soldier looked at the eagle with envy and said: "There are only about thirty people from the remnants who came back, including five from the scout team. Captain Jiaohe, the leader of the scout team, has never..."
He lowered his head as he spoke.
The soldiers who were practicing in the school grounds also stopped their movements after hearing this. One of the panting soldiers holding a spear looked here. His chest was rising and falling violently, and the hand holding the spear could not help but tremble slightly.
"I got it." Liang Fenghou dismissed the soldiers and turned to Liu Shuoyun and said, "Since the Canaites didn't intercept the scouts, I guess there must be something fishy going on. The front line is far away from here, so we can't guess anything from the intelligence."
Liu Shuoyun raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He knew Liang Fenghou very well and immediately understood the meaning of these words.
He said sternly: "You want to go and find out for yourself?"
"I was originally a scout." When Liang Fenghou shrugged, the eagle suddenly spread its wings to keep its balance. "Only by seeing it in person can I know what tricks they are playing."
The soldier in the school grounds who had been looking over here clenched his spear tightly when he heard this, his throat was rumbling and he swallowed. He seemed a little nervous.
"There are cultivators there. If you are stopped, you will never come back!" Liu Shuoyun frowned and said sternly, "No, I don't agree!"
"Shuoyun, the general once taught us that if we know ourselves and our enemies, we can fight a hundred battles without danger." Liang Fenghou and Ying looked at Liu Shuoyun together, "
Staying here with only half-knowledge makes you and I feel uneasy. It is better to go to the front line to have a clearer understanding, so as to send military intelligence and battle reports to Chongdu in advance. You and I both know that even if there is not that cultivator monster, millions of people will come to Cana.
If we attack, Manhongguan will definitely be defeated and fall to the ground in an instant. This matter cannot be considered twice, so be on guard early!"
"Fenghou, you are the captain of Manhongguan! Now there are no generals guarding the pass. If something happens to you, no one in the army can command the 100,000 armored men like this." Liu Shuoyun said excitedly.
, "There is no general in Guanzhong, but among the soldiers and scouts under your command, who will not obey you? You are already the general in their hearts and their backbone! If the army's soul is destroyed and the army's bones are not preserved, you can't go. If you want to go, I
go!"
"A scholar's temper is still so stubborn after so many years." Liang Fenghou chuckled and touched the head of the eagle, "In those days, I searched thousands of miles to find a prince, and I guarded Liangzhou on horseback. Where did the dream of Guanhe end? This poem
This is what the princess told me back then. She told me that I have a title in my name, and I am destined to win in the chaos, and I will succeed with one general. The general is not here, but the soldiers of Manhong Pass are still there, and I, the title of Liang, are not here.
, One hundred thousand armors are still a brave army that stretches across the desert for thousands of miles. Besides..." He paused, looked at Liu Shuoyun with his red phoenix eyes, and said slowly, "If I'm not here, won't I still have you?"
"Don't talk nonsense to me. The pen in my hand is not a knife!" Liu Shuoyun said earnestly, "Martial men serve brave men, not poor scholars like me."
"Hey, don't feel ashamed of yourself." Liang Fenghou said comfortingly, "A scholar's pen is sometimes much faster than the knife in my waist."
Liu Shuoyun understood that nothing he said could persuade Liang Fenghou. Over the years, when had he not tried so hard to persuade him? But every time, Liang Fenghou stubbornly made his own decision.
Perhaps it was this deep pride and self-esteem that made him achieve extraordinary success in the military and make him deeply loved.
"Since you have made up your mind, it is useless for me to say more." Liu Shuoyun pulled out a slender sword from his waist and pointed it at the sand, "If you leave the fortress, you should go straight to the Shensha Camp first. According to the exchange arrangement
, today the whole army of Shensha Camp has advanced three miles, and the trapped camp has taken the place of Trumpet Camp. They cannot advance or retreat, they can only defend. And you can't go deep into the old site of Youting, you can only observe from the side. I think you should start from...
