Chapter 403: Old Friends Reunited
Datong Town!
Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu received a very warm reception from the Governor Wang Mingyang.
"Hahaha, Mr. Jie Yuangong, Mr. Ya Yuangong!"
"Two important officials from our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces have come to this war-torn border!"
"This is truly an honor for our border troops!"
"Hahaha..." Wang Mingyang was extremely happy to see Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu appear.
After all, when he was young, Wang Mingyang was an outstanding person who crossed the border alone and even killed barbarian soldiers from the prairie with his own hands.
As for the imperial examinations, they were just a stepping stone for Wang Mingyang to enter officialdom.
It can be said that it is just Wang Mingyang’s side job.
Therefore, Wang Mingyang was naturally very happy when he saw two scholars, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, appearing in front of him.
In his opinion, even the Confucian scholars who took the imperial examination should have the style of Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty, rather than being as helpless as the scholars of the previous dynasty.
Only Confucian scholars who have witnessed real battlefield fighting can know how to govern the entire world.
"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating!" When Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu heard Wang Mingyang's praise, they quickly bowed their hands to Wang Mingyang.
"Border war is rising again!"
"As citizens of Dasheng Kingdom, we really don't want to write books behind closed doors anymore!"
"That's why I came here to have a look and learn something!" Huang Tinghui explained to Wang Mingyang.
Although he had long been invited by Wang Mingyang, he came directly to Datong Town after the provincial examination.
It was also Huang Tinghui who wanted to know the face of Dasheng's great enemy.
"The enemy is quite fierce!"
"Although the Tuzhen clan was blocked by the Li family and his sons!"
"But the Mongol soldiers are very sharp, but our soldiers have been out of battle for a long time, and they are really vulnerable!"
"There may be some elite combat forces among the border troops, but there is still a big gap with the Mongol cavalry!"
Wang Mingyang has not been in charge of the northern defense line for a long time, so even with him, he cannot make the loose northern defense line impregnable.
In addition to time issues, there were also heavy constraints on Wang Mingyang in the imperial court and at the local level.
Wang Mingyang had difficulty using his hands and feet.
Perhaps the march of the grassland barbarians to the south was instrumental in breaking and rebuilding the northern defense line.
It can be considered a good thing.
Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu came to Datong Town this time, naturally not for sightseeing.
They listened to Wang Mingyang say these words and learned a lot from them.
Just as the three of them were talking, a voice came over.
"Master Governor!"
"Master Governor!!"
Hearing this voice, Wang Mingyang frowned, and he slowly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master Governor!"
"There is a group of people coming from Jiacheng Pass!"
"The leader is seriously injured!" the soldier said to Wang Mingyang.
"Jiachengguan?"
"Didn't it fall a few days ago?" Wang Mingyang asked strangely.
"I don't know!"
"But the sergeants who escaped said that Jiacheng Pass has always been in their hands."
"It wasn't until this morning that it completely fell into the hands of the barbarians!"
Wang Mingyang is such a smart person. Just hearing such a sentence, he instantly guessed many possibilities.
You must know that the general who escaped a few days ago told him that he had gone through several days of bloody battles and was finally outnumbered.
Jiacheng Pass eventually fell into the hands of the grassland barbarians.
Now there is another group of people coming out of Jiacheng Pass, if they are not lying.
That is, the general who escaped a few days ago left his post without permission and fled without a fight.
For an iron-blooded civil servant like Wang Mingyang, the last thing he could tolerate was leaving his post without permission and running away without a fight.
Therefore, at this time, there was already a hint of murderous intent in Wang Mingyang's eyes.
"Take me there!" Wang Mingyang stared at the soldier and said.
"yes!"
"Lord Governor!" the soldier said quickly to Wang Mingyang.
Although Huang Tinghui was very familiar with the place name Jiacheng Pass, he could not directly follow Wang Mingyang there to find out without Wang Mingyang's permission.
Therefore, Huang Tinghui raised his hands to Wang Mingyang and said, "Sir!"
"Ting Hui has a friend who is guarding Jiacheng Pass. Can Ting Hui go and have a look with you?"
Seeing Huang Tinghui's anxious look, Wang Mingyang naturally guessed that the man had a good relationship with Huang Tinghui.
Therefore, Wang Mingyang did not reject Huang Tinghui, but just said to Huang Tinghui.
"In that case, you and Mr. Tang should follow us together!"
Then, under the guidance of the soldier, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu followed Wang Mingyang and walked in the direction of the wounded soldier.
"Please, please, please save our centurion, please save our centurion!"
"The centurion cannot die, the centurion cannot die!"
"Even if our centurion dies, he will die on the battlefield!"
As soon as he walked in here, Huang Tinghui heard a burst of crying.
Wang Mingyang ignored the cries and howls of these soldiers. Wang Mingyang had seen too many situations like this.
And Wang Mingyang cannot control a person's life or death.
As for Huang Tinghui seeing everyone crying so hard, they were all soldiers from Jiacheng Pass.
Therefore, Huang Tinghui looked at everyone and asked, "Who is your centurion?"
"Our centurion is Brother Li!"
One of the soldiers saw that Huang Tinghui's identity must be very valuable.
That’s why I said this to Huang Tinghui.
"Brother Li?" After hearing this, Huang Tinghui was stunned.
"Is your centurion Li Dingguo?" Huang Tinghui quickly looked at the soldier and asked.
"How do you know our centurion's name?!!"
"Who are you?"
Ignoring the man's question, Huang Tinghui walked quickly in the direction of Li Dingguo.
When the door curtain was opened, many patients were lying on the bed.
A very lazy look.
Huang Tinghui had sharp eyes, and he saw Li Dingguo not far away at a glance.
At this time, Li Dingguo's body was wrapped in a lot of white cloth, and his face was extremely pale.
At first glance, it looks like it has been through a great war.
After a big battle, this guy is still alive, which is already a blessing.
But looking at this guy's appearance, he doesn't look like much.
"Dingguo!"
"Dingguo!?" Huang Tinghui shook Li Dingguo's face, and then Li Dingguo opened his eyes.
"Brother Tinghui?"
"Why are you here?" Although Li Dingguo was very disappointed at the moment, he was unable to even say a word.
"Northern Fenghuo, as a citizen of Dasheng Kingdom!!"
"Of course I want to come and see it too!"
After saying that, Huang Tinghui looked at Li Dingguo's wound.
Although these wounds are not fatal, excessive blood loss alone can kill someone.
Faced with the current situation, Huang Tinghui naturally would not sit still and wait for death.
He thought of the things the little girl had prepared for him. Among those things were medicines to stop bleeding and pain.
After all, the place where Huang Tinghui came from was an area with constant wars.
Therefore, with the idea that it would be safe to be careful, the little girl took a lot of life-saving pills.
And now, this pill seems to be just what it takes.
"Dingguo, wait!"
While talking, Huang Tinghui took some medicine to stop bleeding and pain from his body and gave it to the general.
I have to say, this medicine is surprisingly effective.
Li Dingguo's energy level has improved a lot.
After Li Dingguo's mental state improved a lot, Wang Mingyang also started a series of questions to him.
Li Dingguo didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
After he finished asking the questions, the superintendent Wang Mingyang slapped the table hard.
"snort!"
"A group of people with nothing to lose, and some people say that they gave up because of exhaustion!"
"Judging from the current situation, these people have nothing to do with those prairie barbarians and just ran away!"
"Come here!!" Wang Mingyang trusted Huang Tinghui very much, and now Huang Tinghui's good friend was so seriously injured.
Most of these injuries were caused by sabers and bows and arrows.
So Wang Mingyang has no doubt that he is there!
"Come here!!" Wang Mingyang shouted loudly.
"My subordinate is here!" Someone immediately handed over to Wang Mingyang.
"Bring a team of troops over there!"
"Bring me the general who escaped from battle!"
"If he doesn't want to come over, just kill him!"
"Kill without mercy!!"
"Do you understand?" Wang Mingyang ordered loudly with an angry look on his face.
"yes!"
"Master Governor!"
