"Zhang Xutuo? Is this name so familiar?" Wan He couldn't help but tilt his head when he heard Yu Wenji's words, but he still couldn't remember where he had heard this name.
However, Cheng Yaojin who was standing by saw him and quickly reminded Wan He: "Brother Wan! Have you forgotten? Didn't you help Brother Luo and Brother Qin before? Brother Luo and Brother Qin are Zhang Xutuo's subordinates.
Yes!"
"Uh!" Wan He thought about it, and then he remembered, right? When they met Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, they already said that they were under Zhang Xutuo's account. Fortunately, Wan He kept saying so at that time.
I have heard Zhang Xutuo's name for a long time, but I don't even remember it now! After remembering this past, Wan He also slapped his forehead and said, "That's right! I wonder if Qin Qiong is here?"
Previously, Wan He helped Luo Shixin and the others get things done through Yang Tong's relationship. Luo Shixin was also anxious to go back, so he didn't stay in Luoyang for long. Thinking about it now, Wan He was still thinking about when he could lure Qin Qiong over! Immediately Wan He
He stood on tiptoes excitedly and looked forward, but before Wan He could see clearly, a horse suddenly came from the front. It was Lai Hong, the second son of the pioneer general Hu'er. Although Lai Hong was young,
He is not old, only in his early twenties, but he has followed his father on the battlefield since he was a child. He is completely incomparable with dandy boys like Wan He, Yu Wenhua and others! Lai Hong rode his horse to Wan He and others.
He reined in his mount, glanced at Wan He lightly, and shouted in a deep voice: "General Wan! Please follow me!"
Wan He was a partial general personally appointed by the emperor. Although Lai Hong and Wan He were the same in terms of military rank, Lai Hong was still very respectful when he treated Wan He, but how much of this respect came from the heart?
It’s unknown!
After hearing Lai Hong's words, Wan He was just stunned for a moment, but soon understood that it was probably Qin Qiong and the others who heard that he was also in the army, so they wanted to see him! When he thought of being able to see Qin Qiong, Wan He's heart
There was also a burst of joy, and he nodded immediately and said: "Okay! Okay! I, uh, will go right away! I'll go right away!"
After saying that, Wan He turned around, grabbed the reins of the colt, and jumped into the air. The movement was very beautiful, but he jumped directly over the colt's back and jumped to the other side of the colt.
Wan He's face immediately turned red. He had made such a huge fool of himself. No matter how thick-skinned Wan He was, he still couldn't stand it. Lai Hong, who was standing next to him, saw him and was a little impatient. He immediately took a few steps forward and shouted:
: "General Wan! It's better for the future to help you on your journey!"
After saying that, Lai Hong bent over, grabbed Wan He's back collar with his open hands, and directly lifted Wan He up. However, this experience was not the first for Young Master Wan. Seeing Lai
Hong grabbed himself and rode forward directly. Wan He could only wave his hands to Yu Wenhuaji and Cheng Yaojin with an innocent face, and then simply closed his eyes and didn't care about anything.
Laihong has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a child, so his riding skills are naturally very good. Even if he is holding a person in his hand, Laihong still rides towards the front army very lightly. Soon, Laihong is carrying him like this
Wan He came to the front of the army and saw on the official road, the pioneer general Lai Hu'er was stationed at the front of the army. Next to Lai Hu'er, there was a middle-aged general who was also stationed there.
He and Lai Huer were chatting about something. More than a hundred steps in front of the official road, a troop of five hundred soldiers and horses was stationed there. Looking at the lineup of the soldiers and horses, it was obvious that they were also a mighty force that had experienced hundreds of battles.
Teacher!
Seeing Lai Hong bringing Wan He over in this special way, Lai Hu'er and the middle-aged general also stopped talking. Lai Hu'er just smiled faintly. For a dude like Wan He, Lai Hu'er
Naturally, I don't have a good impression of the guardian. Fortunately, this Wan He is not like Yu Wenhuaji who will give advice on his march, so I don't say I hate him, I just look down on him. As for the middle-aged general, in
After seeing Wan He, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed an expression of interest.
Finally, Lai Hong still remembered that Young Master Wan was just a frail scholar. After arriving at the destination, Lai Hong put Wan He down very carefully. Although Wan He felt a little dizzy, he could barely stand still.
, so as not to fall down in front of the entire army and make a fool of himself. After shaking his head to finally wake himself up, Wan He came to Lai Huer, saluted Lai Huer with a very non-standard military salute, and said:
"Um, this young master, uh, the last general! The last general meets the general!" Wan He was so quick that he almost read out the three words "this young master".
Although Lai Huer is in his fifties or sixties, his face is full of energy. Although his beard and hair are white, his face has more scars than wrinkles. He looks like someone in his thirties or forties. After meeting Wan He,
Lai Huer just nodded lightly, then stretched out his hand and said to the middle-aged general beside him: "This is General Zhang Xutuo! General Zhang happened to be suppressing bandits in Wuyang. He heard that our army had arrived in Wuyang, so he came here to say hello!
When he heard your name just now, he said he had something to talk to you face to face!"
Wan He's heart suddenly skipped a beat. I bet this middle-aged general was Zhang Xutuo! Seeing the elegant-looking middle-aged man with a long beard in front of him, Wan He felt inexplicably guilty of being a thief. After all, he
Just now, I was thinking about poaching someone else's corner! At the same time, young master Wan Da didn't forget to curse in his heart, how does this Sutuo look a bit like Master Chen in the private school? Such a teacher is also a constant winner in the Sui Dynasty.
General? No wonder the Sui Dynasty was destroyed within a few years!
Of course Zhang Xutuo didn't know how Wan He was burying himself in his heart. After being introduced by Lai Huer, Zhang Xutuo took the initiative to get off his horse, walked up to Wan He with a smile on his face, and saluted Wan He with clasped fists.
, said: "General Wan! Zhang had already learned about General Wan's righteousness from Shixin and Shubao before! Last time, thanks to General Wan's help, Zhang's troublesome matter was solved!
This time I finally have the opportunity to thank General Wan in person!"
"Uh!" Wan He was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Zhang Xutuo was referring to him asking Yang Tong for help so that Qin Qiong and the others could complete what was described in the battle report. In fact, Wan He was just saying this.
It was Yang Tong who took action. Seeing that Zhang Xutuo was obsessed with this matter, Wan He was a little surprised and quickly replied: "It turns out to be General Zhang! Haha, I have heard about General Zhang's reputation for a long time! Today I can see General Zhang's power.
It's really Wanhe's good fortune! Well, the trivial matter before was really not worth General Zhang's concern. I just went to find His Highness the King of Yue in person, and then His Highness the King of Yue sent someone to inform the Minister of War, who then called the Minister of War.
Minister, the minister will then arrange for Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of War to help General Pei, General Qin and General Luo complete this matter! Tsk tsk! These things are really not worth mentioning! Not worth mentioning!"
Hearing what Wan He said, everyone present couldn't help but feel black threads hanging on their foreheads. This guy is too shameless! He said it in a nonchalant way, but his tone was clearly showing how much effort he had put into it.
Well! Why isn't this asking for credit? Lai Hong immediately turned his face away, fearing that he would not be able to help but slap Wan He twice. Even Lai Hu'er couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
However, after Zhang Xutuo listened to Wan He's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then burst out laughing, laughing loudly: "I heard Shixin and Shubao say before that General Wan is a very interesting person, and Zhang also
I didn’t believe it, but now Zhang has to believe it! Hahahaha!”
Hearing Zhang Xutuo's words, Wan He felt aggrieved! He said it so clearly. I just hope you can give me some benefits. Why don't you understand? This young master is indeed not someone who likes to joke.
Man, the last time I made a joke, I offended a big foodie. How come when I tell the truth, it is understood as a joke?
Wan He felt aggrieved, but Zhang Xutuo didn't know it. After laughing several times, he turned back to Lai Hu'er and clasped his fists and said, "Come on, General! Zhang is rude! General Wan is kind to Zhang.
So this time General Wan came to join the generals in the eastern expedition, and Zhang also wanted to do his best! Shu Bao! Come here!" With the last words, Zhang Xutuo turned his head and shouted to the more than 500 people in front of him.
Got up.
"The last general is here!" With a shout, a young general ran over from the army on horseback. In a blink of an eye, he came in front of everyone, but it was Wan He's acquaintance, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao! Qin Qiong pulled the reins and led the war horse.
The moment he stopped, he turned over and dismounted. Then he first saluted Zhang Xutuo with a cupped fist, then turned his head and saluted Wan He, and said with a smile: "Brother Wan! Long time no see! How are you?"
As soon as Wan He saw Qin Qiong, his eyes immediately turned green, and he almost drooled. If he hadn't been worried about Zhang Xutuo's presence, Wan He would have pounced on Qin Qiong immediately, pulled Qin Qiong and left! Even if it was
He stepped in front of Qin Qiong in two or three steps, and said with a shy smile: "Haha! Brother Qin! Long time no see! Long time no see! Hello!"
Qin Qiong was used to Wan He's inexplicable enthusiasm for her when she was in Luoyang. Now seeing Wan He's behavior, she just smiled faintly, turned around and cupped her fists at Zhang Xutuo and shouted: "Zhang Shuai! The last general
Follow orders!"
Zhang Xutuo also smiled the same way and said to Qin Qiong: "Uncle Bao! You and General Wan are also old acquaintances. This time General Wan went to Liaodong to conquer Goguryeo. Although there is no danger, General Wan is relatively weak and needs someone to protect him.
!I will give you a hundred elite soldiers to accompany General Wan to the north, and protect General Wan carefully all the way! There must be no mistakes!"
