Huachen Kingdom is a small country with a small land area. Calculated in current units, the area is only about 30 million square miles. Huachen Kingdom has four legions, which are divided into central, south, west and north. Each legion has
There are ten to thirty armies. Among them, the Central Legion has the largest number, with thirty armies and more than three million people. It is directly controlled by the king and is responsible for capital garrison, maritime guard, mobile field operations, counterinsurgency and rebellion, and control of other legions.
etc.; the other three legions are responsible for establishing borders and guarding the borders in the south, west and north respectively.
Shuangmang Mountains, Zhenbeiguan, is the seat of the Northern Army Mansion. The Northern Army has 20 armies and about two million people, distributed on a front line of nearly 5,000 miles in the northern border. Its size is second only to the Central Army.
When Bai Zhanyong and others arrived at Zhenbeiguan, it was already dark at five o'clock in the morning.
The city wall of Zhenbeiguan is more than ten feet high and has a radius of dozens of miles. At the top of the city, the national flag of Huachen and the Northern Army flag are fluttering in the wind. The observation tower inside the city towers into the clouds, with black bricks, black tiles, and black gates. It looks solemn and solemn from a distance.
Go, Zhenbeiguan is crawling there like a ferocious beast, ready to attack at any time.
Seeing Bai Zhanyong and others approaching the city gate, the guards immediately came up to them, carefully checked the tokens they handed over, and then let them go.
Gongsun Yan followed Bai Zhanyong and the others into the city and found that the streets in the city were divided into primary and secondary streets. There was a main road running east-west and north-south, which was two feet wide. There were bell and drum towers and observation towers built at the intersection of the main roads. The streets
There are also patrols and law enforcement teams passing by from time to time.
Seeing Gongsun Yan's curious expression, Bai Zhanyong introduced:
"The roads in this city are very complicated. Except for these two main roads, other roads in the city extend in all directions like spider webs. They are dotted in dots. Only one person can pass through at the narrowest point. They are criss-crossed like a maze. Moreover, the roads are winding, deep, and have side alleys.
Most of the places at the end are dead ends, dead-end roads are closed, and you will reach a dead end when you walk in. There are bunkers and perforations everywhere on the roadside. All roads are within the shooting range. There is only a dead end for strangers. If you come here alone, don't do it.
Breaking in!"
Gongsun Yan was amazed when he saw how meticulous the defenses in the border city were. He nodded slightly in response while watching carefully.
The Military and Administrative Department of the Beijun Mansion is located on the West Bell and Drum Tower Street, facing south, with cornices and brackets. It is majestic, with a vermilion door and golden door nails. There are several soldiers in armor guarding both sides of the door. The surrounding barriers are dense and the atmosphere is oppressive.
The six people led the horses and quickly arrived in front of the Military and Administrative Department. Bai Zhanyong asked the others to wait outside, while he took Gongsun Yan forward and saluted the guards, showed military orders and explained their purpose, and the guards let him go smoothly.
Entering the hall of the Military and Political Department, a soldier immediately came over to guide them. The two of them followed his guidance to the Legal Affairs Department. Bai Zhanyong handed over the lacquer-sealed official document that Lu Xiance had given him in Lushui Town. A deacon opened it and read it.
, immediately write a document to the Medical Department and ask them to go to the Medical Department to register and apply for the official documents for entering the camp.
After a while, the two men came out to meet everyone. They led the horses and hurried towards the north gate. It was already sunset outside the pass. The Bingyin Army barracks was still dozens of miles away from Zhenbeiguan. The six people got on their horses and headed towards the barracks.
Move quickly.
Outside Zhenbeiguan, the mountains are sparsely forested, the vegetation is yellow, the autumn wind is bleak, and the twilight is desolate. Riding on horseback, a chilling scene comes to you. Gongsun Yan is sitting on the horse behind Bai Zhanyong. As far as the eye can see, on the rolling mountains, there is a
A tomb sat there lonely, overgrown with weeds. He couldn't help but sigh: On this ancient battlefield, countless people wrapped their bodies in horse leather and buried their bones in the yellow sand. That tomb was not only the burial place for heroes and martyrs, it also buried countless people.
The hopes of family parents and the lovesickness of wives and children.
The Bingyin Army Camp belonging to the Northern Army Corps is located at the foot of Tianmenling Mountain in the Nanmang Mountains of the Shuangmang Mountains. The Shuangmang Mountains are a branch of the Fengqi Mountains, starting from the Qingzhou Coast in the east and ending in the Xiasu Kingdom in the west. The Shuangmang Mountains are actually two nearly
The parallel mountain ranges are composed of the Nanmang Mountains located in the Huachen Kingdom and the Beimang Mountains located in the Bangyuan Kingdom. Most of them lie at the junction of the Huachen Kingdom and the Ramyuan Kingdom. They are a mountain between the two countries.
natural barrier.
The six people came all the way and arrived at the barracks at the foot of Nanmang Mountain. It was almost dusk. When they were still fifty feet away from the barracks, everyone got off their horses and led their horses in formation. Five feet away from the camp gate, Bai Zhanyong took out his command arrow.
All five of them showed their waist badges and Gongsun Yan's official documents for entering the camp. After the gatekeepers checked them, they signaled that everyone could enter.
After entering the camp, the others greeted Gongsun Yan and left one after another. Bai Zhanyong took Gongsun Yan to the military administration office to hand over orders, register and receive badges, and then reported to the military medical office.
There is a quiet place deep in the barracks where Bingyin Army Medical Doctor is located. Gongsun Yan followed Bai Zhanyong as he walked through the barracks. There were basically no soldiers walking around on the road. There were sentries guarding the front of each barracks and at the intersection, making the entire barracks look solemn.
, Silence, during this period, they occasionally encountered patrols for interrogation. The two of them showed their badges and explained the situation and were released immediately. Bai Zhanyong briefly introduced the military discipline and some basic conditions of the barracks to Gongsun Yan while walking back. Gongsun Yan silently recorded them one by one.
heart.
The two of them walked forward and soon saw several rows of white wooden houses with fences under the jungle. They looked particularly dazzling at dusk. There were sentries standing guard at the gate of the courtyard. When they saw Bai Zhanyong and the others coming, they asked:
"Commander Bai, what are you doing here?" The military doctor's barracks is an important place, and under normal circumstances, idle personnel are not allowed to enter.
"Uh, it's Ding Wei, I brought him here to report." He pointed at Gongsun Yan, and after checking their badges, the sentry immediately let them go.
Bai Zhanyong led Gongsun Yan towards the front row of houses. As soon as he entered the door, he met a fair-faced man in his twenties. Bai Zhanyong immediately said:
"What a coincidence, Dr. Gongsun, your brother is here," he pointed to Gongsun Yan beside him and said:
"In the future, you brothers can get closer together," he said to Gongsun Yan, "this is your eldest brother, Dr. Gongsun Xian."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yan quickly saluted and said, "My younger brother Gongsun Yan has met my elder brother."
Gongsun Xian's face was cold, and he just nodded indifferently and said "Oh."
Seeing this, Bai Zhanyong hurriedly asked, "Is Medical Officer Duanmu here?"
Gongsun said nothing, pointed to a room in the corridor, and left.
Bai Zhanyong and Gongsun Yan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They led him to the door of the room. Bai Zhanyong stood still and saluted:
"Reporting to the commander, Bai Zhanyong, commander of the 39th detachment of the Bingyin Army, is escorting the banished soldier Gongsun Yan to report."
Gongsun Yan's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this, and his face turned pale instantly. Everyone treated him well along the way, making him almost forget his identity.
There was no movement in the room. After a while, a hoarse voice came out: "Come in!"
Gongsun Yan lowered his head and followed Bai Zhanyong as he opened the door and walked in.
The person in the room is Duanmu Xianjun, the medical officer of Bingyin Army. The Duanmu family is another major medical family in Huachen Kingdom. Although its reputation is slightly inferior to that of the Gongsun family, its family power also spreads across the country. In the palace,
There are also people who serve as imperial doctors. At this moment, Duanmu Xianjun was sitting at a table. Qingjun's face was originally slightly gloomy. When he saw them coming in, he glanced at the two of them, and then waved to Bai Zhanyong:
"You have nothing to do here, you can leave!"
Bai Zhanyong was just a small corps commander, and his status in the army was far lower than that of a medical officer. He said "yes" and turned around and left quickly.
There was silence in the room for a while, then Duanmu Xianjun suddenly shouted loudly:
"Gongsun Yan, do you understand your guilt?"
Gongsun Yan lowered his head numbly and said nothing.
Duanmu Xianjun continued: "Don't think that you can get away with it by keeping silent. You are the son of a criminal doctor and a relegated soldier. Your father formed gangs in the army and committed corruption for personal gain. He also openly opposed General Shangguan and did not remember the king's favor.
, regardless of the interests of the country, to vent his personal anger and kill a mighty general. Although he died of illness in fear of his crime, his crime is unforgivable. As the so-called father's debt is repaid by his son, you must bear the consequences of your father's crime one by one!"
Although Gongsun Yan was mentally prepared for the various "crimes" imposed on his father, he still underestimated Duanmu Xianjun's shamelessness and viciousness. Now that his father has passed away, he is allowed to talk nonsense.
"You come from a family of criminal doctors, so you must be branded as a criminal family. Since you are here, you should be a handyman first. In the future, you must be an honest person in the army! Do things according to the rules! Don't talk nonsense! Don't form gangs.
, connect at will, you must accept supervision and reform through labor. If you can repent and make meritorious deeds, I will not deny you the opportunity, so you can do it on your own!" After saying that, he waved his hand to Gongsun Yan impatiently.
Then he rang the bell and called the medical assistant to take Gongsun Yan out.
