"I have a bad heart, which cannot be ignored. I also have brothers, which cannot be ignored." [Poetry·Guofeng·Bo Zhou]
After the emperor suddenly inspected the Northern Army's drill, he took the emperor's carriage with him, took a look at the Southern Army, and then returned to the palace from the south gate. According to legend, it was sunset at that time.
, the ginkgo trees in Shanglin Garden were already fluttering with yellow leaves, and the autumn wind was blowing. When entering the city, the emperor said meaningfully: "The cool breeze is coming, the white dew is falling, and the cicadas are chirping."
As the helmsman of the imperial court, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, every word and deed of the emperor will attract people's attention, not to mention such a nonsense sentence that is almost impossible to be spread, but it happened to be spread.
As the Situ of the current dynasty, Huang Wan was the one who was most concerned about and wanted to know more about the emperor. Without waiting for the emperor to take any further measures, he first asked Wu Ban, who was already a doctor, and Wu Yi, his two brothers, to go and meet him.
Wu Kuang, the auxiliary military captain who was present at the scene that day and listened to Lunyin personally, planned to find out the emperor's intentions after getting the exact information so that he could seize the opportunity.
Wu Ban and Wu Yi were both "heroes" who participated in the restoration of Yizhou, but compared to the key position of the mastermind Lai Min, the favor and rewards they received were not as good as those of Shu general Yan who joined halfway.
Yan. They also understood that they had not made many truly useful achievements in Yizhou, and it was not that Huang Wan did not take care of them. Now, as the most junior doctor under Guang Luxun, they still relied on Huang Wan and Guang Luxun.
Yang Biao’s relationship.
Therefore, no matter how much Wu Ban and the others disliked this doctor with a rank of only three hundred shi, they still had to be grateful to Huang Wan from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to do his service.
Under normal circumstances, generals and colonels are not allowed to leave the camp, and their families and idlers are not allowed to enter or leave the military camp at will. However, the Northern and Southern armies often take a three-day break after drills, and most of the soldiers who live in Chang'an can go home. Therefore, Wu Ban and Wu Yi took advantage of the opportunity.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I asked for leave early and retired quietly at home, waiting for Wu Kuang's return.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a woman standing under the big mulberry tree in the courtyard. She was already in her prime, and she was very good at dressing up. Her clothes and jewelry were not about dazzling, luxurious and rich, but about style and matching. One outfit does not count.
She was wearing the finest brocade dress, her hair was neatly combed into a shiny bun, her cheeks were plump, and her skin was as smooth as a newborn baby. Although her appearance was childish, she looked extremely delicate. She stood under the tree, her face was as delicate as a flower, and her bun was tied with a knot.
The two pink ribbons are fluttering in the wind, tilting up and down.
The girl grabbed a rope with her right hand. The rope was not long. There was a yellow puppy tied to the other end. She was squatting on the ground, sticking out her pink tongue and breathing continuously.
"Sister." Seeing that it was his biological sister Wu Ran standing in the courtyard, Wu Yi rushed over first and scolded softly: "You are such a good person, why did you come to the front yard? Go back quickly."
Wu Ran and Wu Yi are brothers and sisters. Their parents died young. Originally, because their late father had an old relationship with Liu Yan, the family moved to Shu with Liu Yan, begging for his protection and avoiding the war in Yizhou.
After a few years of peaceful life, Liu Yan was suddenly defeated and had no backer. Fortunately, he met his uncle Wu Kuang, so he took the old and young to live in Wu Kuang's home. Although the two families are relatives, they can't really forget their sense of propriety.
So seeing that Wu Ran didn't know etiquette, Wu Yi couldn't help but scolded her a few times.
"Brother really doesn't listen to people's judgment." Wu Ran felt that he had been wronged and said angrily: "It was obviously 'Baifu' who smelled your scent, so he forced me to come out. In Brother's eyes, on the contrary,
I'm just having fun."
Wu Yi knew that it was a boring thing, and he doted on his sister very much, so he no longer acted like a brother and a father. He quickly coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, please spare my brother this time."
Bar."
"Brother, my ears are so soft, I just listen to what I hear. I can teach others how to behave in the future!" Wu Ran said in a joking manner, pursed his lips, and looked at the other party with a sarcastic look.
Wu Yi has a loving personality and an open-minded temper. It is easy to make close friends and companions around him. Even strangers who have just met for the first time can get along with each other in a very short time. He is simply an indispensable role in coordinating complex relationships. But
It is precisely because of such a good old man's temper that he has never had the ability to be a leader, and sometimes even his own sister cannot convince him.
The girl told him the truth, and his cousin Wu Ban kept snickering beside him. Wu Yi felt a little embarrassed on his face. He waved his hand to Wu Ran angrily and said: "Go, go! Take Baifu to the back to play!"
Wu Ran showed no concern, smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the backyard with the yellow dog Baifu, the two pink silk ribbons behind her head swung between the hanging green hair, as light as if they were swimming in the waves.
Walk.
At this moment, there was only a noise of carriages and horses outside the door, and dozens of blue-headed slaves were coming in and out of the door, carrying their hands and shoulders. Wu Yi and Wu Ban knew that Wu Kuang was back and hurriedly greeted him.
Wu Kuang walked in with a serious look on his face. Before he spoke, he looked up and saw two pink silk ribbons floating past. Wu Kuang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, walked through the main hall, and walked straight to the back of the main hall.
In the study room, Wu Yi and Wu Ban followed closely behind. Wu Kuang turned around and sat on the couch smoothly, and sighed inadvertently. Wu Yi and Wu Ban looked at each other, knowing that there must be something wrong with this drill.
Something bad happened.
"Ah Weng!" When Wu Ban saw his father's expression, he was immediately shocked and asked quickly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, what's wrong with you? The kid didn't dare to ask about things in the military in the past, but now it's time
Now, I have to take offense."
Wu Kuang usually refused to reveal the slightest bit of Northern Army affairs to outsiders, even to his own relatives. This was not only because of the imperial edict on military aircraft confidentiality issued by the emperor in his early years, but also because Wu Kuang had suffered enough similar lessons when he was young.
Therefore, after being cautious, he just took a breath, and under his son's sincere eyes, slowly told what happened after the drill that day: "During the Northern Army's drill, the country suddenly came to Mingduyuan, and I told the generals afterwards...
"
It turned out that the emperor was generous in praising the generals of the Northern Army that day, especially Pang De and Zhao Yun, who were adaptable, wise and courageous. Even Jiang Xuan, who was "defeated and killed", also won the title of "Jiang Xuan" because of his timely response, turning his heavy cavalry into a heavy soldier.
He received the approval of Gao Shun and others. But when he arrived at Wu Kuang's place, the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Although the outcome must be determined in the exercise, the outcome is not too important. Everyone who can sit in the position of a captain has a bottom line in mind. Wu Kuang's repeated rebellion has obviously exceeded this line and placed too much emphasis on Yu.
victory.
Although the emperor didn't say anything, he praised the auxiliary soldiers for their combat prowess, which was almost as good as that of the Northern Army soldiers. They could also be used as elite soldiers on the battlefield in the future. However, the faces of others were a bit unsightly, especially Pound, whose nose
The heavy breath he exhaled almost made him laugh out loud.
"It's also my fault that I wanted to show off too much and only thought about victory or defeat." Wu Kuang said in a deep voice in front of his nephew: "Although the Northern Army today has a medium base, long water, infantry, and shooting,
There are seven battalions in total with my auxiliary soldiers. But in the eyes of outsiders, the Northern Army only has six battalions. I, the auxiliary army captain, just lead a group of county soldiers to do the trivial tasks of building roads, bridges, and camps.
I want everyone, including the emperor, to know that the auxiliary barracks are also part of the Northern Army, and they are also a powerful force that can shoulder the heavy responsibility of conquering unconquered subjects for the court and the emperor!"
Wu Ban and others were silent. They knew that Wu Kuang put a lot of effort into the auxiliary barracks, and even regarded it as the last and only achievement in his life. But now because of Wu Kuang's temporary persistence, he suffered
