Su Ming, the captain of Zhe Chong Mansion, was very polite when he saw Su Ce. Respect comes from strength and status.
Among the same batch of soldiers, some were disabled, some died, and some were mediocre. Su Ce was considered the best.
Of course, this is what Su Ce said to others, as if the merit on the battlefield is the same as what he picked up.
But only Su Ce knew that he was afraid of "contracting" the disease.
It's not like Su Ce hasn't heard of the incident of awakening and killing people these days. It actually happened on the way back from Zhechong Mansion.
Without Zepao, who lives and dies together, no one dares to sleep. When sleeping, one can't wait to keep his eyes open.
Su Ce knew that when these out-of-control people killed Ze Pao, it was not them who dominated their sanity, but the former self who fought on the battlefield.
Su Ce also knew that he was suffering from this kind of madness, but as a man of two generations, Su Ce could keep his sanity.
However, being sick is still sick, even if it is not a physical illness but a mental illness.
During the days of guarding the border, no one knew when the Jiuhu people would come upon us, so those on sentry duty never dared to relax.
The high-pressure environment is also the reason for the frequent rotation of border troops. Of course, the Dagan people have not studied this, but they just want to avoid relying on their own troops.
Su Ce behaved normally during the day, but at night Su Ce would sleep holding his sword like everyone else. On the way back, Captain Su Ming would camp in the wilderness on the excuse that he was too tired at the border and wanted his men to have a good rest. .
The purpose is to prevent these insecure soldiers from getting into trouble.
The marching distance during the day was also considered. Unlike the pursuit of speed and taking the official road when guarding the border, on the way back, we tried to pass through the bustling city, which gradually eliminated the uneasiness in the hearts of these soldiers.
The team of less than a hundred people rode on horseback, but it took them a full month to reach the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture.
Everyone is eager to go home, but military law dictates that they can't go home yet.
This group of people fought a big battle while guarding the border, and there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. But precisely because of this, they still had to stay in Zhechong Mansion for ten days until everyone "returned" to normal. Return home.
It was said externally that he was waiting for the reward, but in fact the Hangzhou Prefecture had already distributed the reward, and it was sent to the Fu Bing family when Su Ming, the captain of the Zhechong Prefecture, set out.
When a country is built by force, no one wants tragedy to happen.
Captain Su Ming climbed up the official system through hard work step by step. There was no merit, only hard work. It seems that as a captain, in fact, in the army, Su Ce's status is not as high as that of Su Ce, who is more than ten years younger than him. high.
So he was very polite to Su Ce along the way.
One day after returning to Zhechong Mansion, Su Ming handed over the documents with an official from the Ministry of War. From then on, Su Ce was no longer under the control of Zhechong Mansion. Instead, he was under the control of the Ministry of War. However, generally speaking, there were no major battles or vacancies in the army. I have a job, and in my free time I just close the door and live my life.
Ten days passed quickly, and other soldiers went home to wait for the next call, or were assigned to the imperial army or the state capital.
Su Ce put on his own armor and took his own weapons to bid farewell to Captain Su Ming. At this time, Su Ce was already eager to return home. He had both fame and fortune. He just wanted to go home.
He left home in September of the ninth year of Longsheng, and now it is December of the tenth year of Longsheng, the twelfth lunar month of winter. The humidity and coldness in the south made Su Ce's body feel cold while riding a horse, but the desire to go home made Su Ce immune to the cold.
These days, Su Ce also learned about his fiefdom through Su Ming. It was a bit special. It was not sealed at the place of residence, but by the Wei River in Wannian County, Chang'an.
This makes Su Ce a little worried, and it also means that Su Ce will have to move his family to Chang'an after the Chinese New Year.
The closer he got to home, the more anxious Su Ce became and he couldn't wait to see his family right away.
In the twelfth lunar month, the south is dotted with green. Compared with the desolation in the north, Su Ce prefers this kind of scenery. After all, this is where he spent his childhood.
When he left home, Su Ce's beard didn't even grow on his lips, and now he's starting to worry about whether he should grow a beard or not. Compared to a beautiful beard, Su Ce still prefers a clean chin.
The Su family is a large family in the Yuhang area, and the Su Ce family is just a branch within a branch. However, for their meritorious services and titles, the head of the Su family must also give face to welcome Su Ce home. This is a courtesy.
Riding alone, Su Ce arrived at the small village where he was born and raised.
I saw a group of people blocking the road from a distance.
The closer the distance, the clearer the faces of this group of people.
The wanderer who left home returns today,
Gaotang's parents asked about the future.
The village elders are famous for their singing skills,
Fame and fortune are not as good as native language.
Su Ce dismounted, and his clansmen helped him take off his armor. The clan leader Jiu asked about his family's name.
I got up early and rushed to the late market. In the envious eyes of the soldiers from the same village, the protagonist today was Su Ce, but Su Ce was envious of the soldiers from the same village who had already returned home.
He still has to go through the entire process. Mr. Su held a banquet today to entertain people from the township party and the clan. The genealogy has placed Su Ce's branch in the main clan. These are all brought by the title.
It wasn't until noon that Su Ce walked over the brazier and returned home.
At noon, with the clan leader as his companion, Mr. Su laughed more today than he had in the past two years.
After lunch, he sent his clan members away and closed the door. Su Ce, his parents, and his wife sat around the stove. Only then did Su Ce explain his experiences over the past year.
Hearing Su Ce's understatement about the life at the border and the battlefield conditions, Mr. Su squinted his eyes at his only son. He didn't know that the child was lying, but he didn't expose it.
When Mr. Su was young, he was also a soldier, otherwise he would not be able to rent land and live the life of a landlord.
It is better not to let the woman know about the border affairs, otherwise she will have to coax her into crying.
It wasn't until he heard Su Ce say that the fiefdom had been extended to Chang'an that Mr. Su opened his eyes.
"Cer, I'm afraid you will be accepted by the Ministry of War."
"Included? Dad, what does this mean?" Su Ce was a little confused.
"Silly boy, you don't even know that you are accepted by the Ministry of War. That's right. No one has told you this. Anyone who is accepted by the Ministry of War is raised as a general. The current general in the army was not accepted by the Ministry of War when he was young. He is focused on
"Cultivation, this is because a general in the army has guaranteed you, do you think there is any general in the army who has had contact with you?"
When Mr. Su was young, he was a personal guard of the Dufu, so he knew about this matter. However, the records of the Ministry of War are generally kept confidential. After all, it is related to the command power of the Daqian army, so even if he knew it, he could not make it public.
.
And if you want to become a general, you must have a general in the army as a guarantee. This guarantee is not just a guarantee, but also takes time to cultivate, military skills, martial arts, strategy, everything is indispensable.
Mr. Su only knew a few words. After all, these were just the rules of the game for the upper echelons of the military.
When Su Ce was granted a title, the fiefdom would not be granted locally. Mr. Su knew that this was to prevent the local clan from becoming bigger. Usually, the fiefdom was granted in a different place. However, when the title was granted to Chang'an, the official position was removed and no follow-up arrangements were made. These clues
Only then did Mr. Su remember a few words he heard when he was young.
