If I had to use one sentence to describe what Young Master Wan is thinking right now, it would be: Happiness comes so damn fast and suddenly! Before, Wan He was still thinking about how to pry Qin Qiong away from Zhang Xutuo.
On his side, Zhang Xutuo now actually offered to let Qin Qiong follow him! Young Master Wan is looking at Zhang Xutuo now. He is so pleased with him that he wishes he could rush forward, hold Zhang Xutuo and kiss him!
Qin Qiong had received Zhang Xutuo's instructions before, so now that Zhang Xutuo's order was spoken, Qin Qiong was not surprised at all. He just cupped his fists at Zhang Xutuo and shouted: "The last general takes orders!"
Qin Qiong was not surprised, but Lai Huer and Lai Hong were shocked. Wan He didn't know Zhang Xutuo's reputation, but they knew it very well! Zhang Xutuo had beaten many people in the local area over the years.
He won the battle, and what made Zhang Xutuo so powerful was precisely because of his ability to train troops! The soldiers who came out of Zhang Xutuo were much better than the soldiers of other Sui armies! Not to mention the young general in front of him.
Well, just from the riding skills he had just shown, Lai Hu'er, who had been fighting for many years, could tell at a glance that this was definitely a tiger general! Zhang Xutuo was actually willing to hand over such a tiger general and more than a hundred elite soldiers to Wan He
For such a playboy, this was completely impossible in the eyes of Lai Huer and his son, but it happened in front of their eyes!
Lai Hu'er and Lai Hong looked at each other. Lai Hong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Lai Hu'er immediately shook his head. In terms of military qualifications, Zhang Xutuo was naturally not as good as Lai Hu'er.
Such a veteran, but Zhang Xutuo has the envy of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty. No matter how highly qualified he is to protect the children, he would not dare to offend Zhang Xutuo easily! What's more, Zhang Xutuo is now the guardian of the children.
For the vanguard army, it would be of great benefit to the vanguard army to give him away, so why not protect him?
Zhang Xutuo didn't seem to realize the impact of his actions. He just smiled and said to Wan He: "General Wan, uh, I also ask you to call you Brother Wan! Brother Wan, Shu Bao and the others will be together.
Here you go! If you need anything, just ask them to help you!"
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Wan He was so excited in his heart, but after what happened to Li Jing, Wan He was more or less used to it, so he returned the favor to Zhang Xutuo and said: "General Zhang, please don't worry! Qin
General and the others are willing to follow me, which is a great blessing for me. As long as I, Wan He, are here from now on, they will not suffer any loss in keeping it!" As he said this, Wan He patted his chest a little forgetfully, but the force of the pat was too strong.
It was a bit big and made Wan He feel bursts of pain in his chest.
After a few words of greeting, Zhang Xutuo was ready to leave. After getting on his horse, he turned around and said to Lai Hu'er: "Come, general! I hope the general will be careful about what I said before! Here, I wish you the best."
General, this expedition goes well and is almost a success! I'll take my leave first!"
"Thank you, General Zhang!" I don't know what Zhang Xutuo said to Lai Hu'er before. Anyway, Lai Hu'er clasped his fists at Zhang Xutuo with gratitude and shouted: "I will definitely invite you again on my way back from the Eastern Expedition.
General Zhang is here! Please!"
"Drive!" Zhang Xutuo was not the kind of person to procrastinate. When he came to protect his son and Wan He, Qin Qiong nodded, turned his horse's head, and ran directly to the front, where a hundred elite soldiers had been mobilized.
The soldiers and horses also followed closely behind. Looking at the backs of the soldiers and horses gradually disappearing, everyone was stunned for a long time.
After Wan He calmed down, he saw Qin Qiong and the hundred well-organized elite soldiers behind him. He felt so happy! However, Wan He was not so happy that he forgot about it. He was just a member of the guardian tent.
Since Zhang Xutuo, a small general, had given so many people to him, he had to ask Lai Huer for instructions. Immediately, Wan He clasped his fists at Lai Huer and said, "Well, General Lai! They..."
Lai Huer is not the kind of narrow-minded person. He waved his hand and said to Wan He: "Since General Zhang sent them to you, then you can accept them! But remember, they cannot violate the military orders of the army, otherwise,
Same as military law!"
"That's for sure! That's for sure!" Although he knew that there would be no problem with Laihu'er, when he heard that Laihu'er had personally agreed, Wan He was so happy that he almost jumped up. After thanking him repeatedly, Wan He immediately jumped up.
Turning around, he smiled at Qin Qiong and said, "General Qin! Uh, and fellow soldiers, let's go back to the rear army first!"
Qin Qiong kept the smile on his face from beginning to end. He had no objection to Wan He's proposal. He nodded, then raised his hand and waved to the one hundred elite soldiers behind him. Those hundred elite soldiers
Immediately, they took neat steps and followed Wan He and Qin Qiong towards the rear.
Looking at the backs of those hundreds of elite soldiers, Lai Hong's eyes flashed with strong envy. Even when he came to his father's side, he did not forget to stare at those elite soldiers. As a general, of course he hopes to lead strong soldiers.
These hundred elite soldiers were right in front of him, but they were not his subordinates. Lai Hong felt somewhat unbalanced, curled his lips and said to his father: "Dad! It would be a pity to leave these elite soldiers to that playboy, right?
Anyway, Wan He is under your command, dad, so you might as well give the order and ask him to hand over those elite soldiers!"
"No!" Although Lai Hu'er was a little moved, he quickly rejected Lai Hong's proposal and said in a deep voice: "That Zhang Xutuo handed over these elite soldiers to Wan He in front of the army just for defense.
What about our move! Well, although these one hundred elite soldiers are good, they are not worth offending Zhang Xutuo! Besides, although Wan He is a dandy, he is also a disciple of the emperor, so we can't be too harsh on him!
Besides, since he is under our account now, he will do whatever we ask him to do in the future! Okay! Let’s forget about it. The most important thing for us now is to deal with Zhang.
That thing Sota just said!"
When Lai Hu'er said this, a trace of solemnity flashed across Lai Hong's face, and he immediately said: "Dad! Is it really as serious as Zhang Xutuo said? How dare those rebels be so bold?"
"It's better to believe that they are real than to believe that they are not!" Lai Hu'er also said with a serious face: "Zhang Xutuo has been suppressing bandits in the local area for these years. He knows much more about these rebels than we do! He gave
This information we have is absolutely correct! Okay! It has been delayed for a long time. Please pass on the order and the whole army will continue to advance!"
"Here!" Although he was worried in his heart, Lai Hong's years of military career made him respond instinctively, and then he turned his head and followed Lai Guer's order. The army, which had been paused for a long time, finally
Start again and continue heading north!
At the rear of the army, Wan He had already brought Qin Qiong and others to join Cheng Yaojin. Of course, Wan He did not forget to introduce Qin Qiong and others to Yu Wenji, but during the introduction, Wan He did not pay much attention to it.
Introducing Qin Qiong, he just talked about his relationship with Zhang Xutuo. However, Yu Wenhuaji had no interest in these soldiers and generals. He simply dealt with them and left.
After seeing Yu Wenhuaji leave, Wan He felt relieved. He didn't want Qin Qiong, who he had finally pried away, to be pried away by Yu Wenhuaji in the blink of an eye! After Yu Wenhuaji left, the military order for the army to re-departure was also
It has been passed over, and Wan He was chatting with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin while following the army. Uh, well, to be precise, it should be Wan He and Qin Qiong chatting. The foodie Cheng Yaojin is still there.
He was talking about eating with a resentful look on his face!
"General Qin! I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!" Wan He rode the pony beside Qin Qiong and shook his head with emotion.
Seeing Wan He riding the pony, which was at most a little taller than when he was standing, Qin Qiong did not snicker like others, but just smiled lightly and said: "Brother Wan! In fact, this time
Zhang Shuai didn't know that you would be participating in this Eastern Expedition, and he had no intention of coming all the way. The reason why he did this was because he had just learned something very important! He knew that Brother Wan, you were in danger, so he
You brought me here specifically just to protect your safety, Brother Wan!"
"Huh?" Hearing what Qin Qiong said, Wan He couldn't help but be stunned. Danger? This word is very sensitive to Wan He! How can it be dangerous? Isn't it said that Goguryeo is just a small country? Attacking such a small country
, with Yang Guang's hundreds of thousands of troops following behind, what kind of danger will there be? Thinking of this, Wan He couldn't help but shuddered, and hurriedly asked: "Qin, General Qin! Is there really any danger?
What kind of danger is there? How powerful is Goguryeo?"
"No!" Qin Qiong immediately shook his head and said: "The danger we know about does not come from Goguryeo! To be honest, Goguryeo is just a small country, and there is no need to make a big show of it. The 50,000 vanguard troops alone are enough to win the battle.
Go down to the entire Goguryeo! How could there be danger? The danger I am talking about does not come from Goguryeo, but the dangers Brother Wan will encounter along the way!"
"On the road?" Wan He was even more confused. From the time he set out from Luoyang to now, the road has been uneventful, with no problems at all. What danger could there be?
Seeing that Wan He still didn't understand, Qin Qiong also took a deep breath. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious look, and said in a deep voice: "Previously, Marshal Zhang defeated a group of rebels. I learned from the prisoners that the North
The rebels from all walks of life have learned about the Holy Emperor's Eastern Expedition and intend to attack the vanguard army! Now several rebel rebels have gathered, led by Gao Shida, and are preparing to ambush the vanguard army on the road!"
