Just when everything was ready and Gai Jun was about to set off, he received the great news that Cai Wan was pregnant. Cai Wan cried with joy. After four years of marriage, her belly finally responded. She once despaired that she was too weak to have a child. In fact, she didn't
Some people say it takes four or eight years to get pregnant, but Bian Wei was the first to give birth to a son for the Gai family, and she was silent for a long time, which put great pressure on her.
On the day the camp was broken up, people from the northern land, from officials to wealthy families, to common people rushed to see him off. The city, the city roots, and wherever they could stand were all crowded with people. Gai Jun exchanged greetings with the county officials for a moment, and waved to the people around him.
, shouted loudly and set off, more than 2,800 horsemen in units of villages flew away in a cloud of dust, followed by hundreds of carriages carrying heavy supplies of medicine.
Gai Jun took a deep breath and turned back to take one last look at Fuping, the city where he had stayed for two years. Pegasus caught up with the team.
Passing by Gaoling, where Zuo Feng Yi ruled, Gai Jun sent his second wife and his sister to the official residence where his parents lived.
"You have to stay with Gai Lang, and you must not try to fight. I only have a younger brother like you..." Bian Wei adjusted Bian Bing's armor and shed tears as she spoke. The two of them had no parents since they were young.
We depend on each other for life and have never been apart for a moment in these years.
"Sister! Don't worry." Bian Bing has always been strong and yearned for the battlefield, but at this time he still couldn't help but shed tears. Bian Wei is not only his sister, but also plays the role of mother. For him, her sister ate too much
I have suffered so much and suffered so many grievances.
"Jin Nu, you must be careful." Ma Zhao hugged his grandson Yin Yin, who was carved in pink and jade.
Gai Jun accepted his promise, took his son's limp body, held it up to his eyes and teased him, asking him to call him "Father". The little guy's big eyes rolled around and he murmured in original sounds that ordinary people couldn't understand at all. Gai Jun's heart was full of love and cruelty.
He kissed his son hard. Gai Yi blinked, maybe because he was pricked by Gai Jun's stubble, and suddenly he burst into tears and kicked his feet wildly.
Gai Jun tried to coax him, but it still didn't work, so he had no choice but to hand him back to his mother.
Cai Wan's eyes were red and he said: "Husband..."
Gai Jun held her hand and said softly: "You are pregnant, don't be sad, lest it affect the fetus. The only pity is that I will probably not be able to see the child being born. This is a regret that cannot be made up for in my lifetime!"
When I get to the Central Plains, I will go to Caijiazhuang to have a look, I think it will be okay for my father-in-law to come."
Cai Wan nodded.
Before leaving, Gai Jun called over his younger sister Gai Liao, touched her head, looked at her crying like a woman, and joked: "Is Xiao He'er crying for me? I think he's crying for his sweetheart?"
"
Gai Liao burst into tears and looked at him blankly.
Gai Jun took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said, "Do you think my brother is blind? Tell me, did you fall in love with someone in the military camp?"
"Brother..." Gai Liao felt a little embarrassed.
"Ha! Little He'er, who is not afraid of anything, knows how to be shy? Say, if you don't tell me, I will leave."
Gai Liao glanced around and said softly, "Yang Feng..."
"Is it him?" Gai Jun was startled. Yang Aruo has a strange appearance and superb martial arts. He is from Jiuquan and can be said to be a fellow from Hexi. He has a poor background and is still a ranger. Such a person is a good candidate to develop into a direct descendant of the hardcore. As long as he is promoted a little bit, he will be a good candidate.
He would be filled with gratitude, and from then on he would go through fire and water without hesitation. But recruiting him as a son-in-law was a bit too much. Even in the modern era of "well-matched", the daughter of the secretary of the municipal party committee would not marry an unemployed young man, or so to speak.
Sounds even worse, little bastard?
Gai Liao has been paying attention to brother's expression, and saw that his face was livid and uneasy. If brother supports her, there may be 20 to 30% hope, but if he refuses...
Gai Jun was ready to refuse. He was no longer the silly boy who had just arrived in the Han Dynasty. However, when he saw Gai Liao's pitiful appearance, his heart softened and he changed his words: "Amei, you
You must know that the gap between you is too big. To say the least, if he is very talented and lucky, how long will it take him to climb to a position that barely matches yours? Three years? Five years? Ten years? Or more
How long...can you wait? You are already eighteen years old this year."
Gai Liao looked at him stubbornly with tears streaming down his face.
Stalemate...
"Even this can't convince you, I really can't do anything with you." Gai Jun raised his hand and pinched her face.
"Brother..." Gai Liao looked stunned. Whenever Brother makes this move, it means surrender and compromise.
Gai Jun smiled and said: "When we compete, how have I ever defeated you?" Before Gai Liao could cry for joy, he added: "Don't be too happy too early. I only promise you to create opportunities for him as much as possible."
, as for whether he can grasp it and climb to a high position, it depends on him."
Gai Liao threw herself into his arms and cried, "Brother, you are so good to me."
"Little flatterer."
"I'm not a flatterer."
In Cai Wan's lingering "Shuo Fang Song", Gai Jun bid farewell to his family and left the official residence. Gai Xun saw him off at the city gate. The journey was not short, but the father and son did not exchange a few words.
There is no need for too many sensational words between men.
Finally, Gai Xun patted his shoulder and watched him gradually go away.
The army traveled on horseback and did not bring too much baggage. They quickly headed east along the river at a speed of more than a hundred miles a day. On the way, Gai Jun called Yang Aruo and expressed that he wanted him to stay with him like Pang De.
Yang Aruo offered to promote him. This was a rare and good opportunity. Once the commander of the village, the false prince or even the military prince died in battle, it was not his job to replace him. Unexpectedly, Yang Aruo refused outright. He thought that such a name was unfair and unjust.
He will be looked down upon by others, so he has to rely on his military exploits to climb up the ranks.
Gai Jun was angry and pleased at the same time. He was annoyed that the other party didn't know how to praise him, but he was pleased that he had great ambitions.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, it will eventually be pulled out and run around.
The terrain of Hongnong County was special, and even official roads were extremely difficult to navigate. The soldiers could not help but complain and curse secretly. Gai Jun ignored it, but within a few days, Ma Teng came to report that two of his Qiang men were missing.
"Missing? Escaped?" Gai Jun was stunned and couldn't believe his ears. If this were placed in a strategy game of the 21st century, it would only appear if the morale was below 60?
Gai Jun then flew into a rage and said, "How did you become a military prince?" If he hadn't known Ma Teng's talents, he would have beaten him to the bottom instead of scolding him. Then he yelled at Gai Guan, the fake prince and clan brother.
Said: "Shou Cheng has never led a soldier before, so that's okay. What about you? I think your years in the Western Regions were wasted!"
Although Fake Hou Gaiguan was of the same generation as Gai Jun, he was already in his thirties and could not hold his head up after being scolded.
As a Qiang man, I was the commander of two deserters, so I could not escape the blame. He knelt down on the ground with a thump and said fiercely: "Sima, calm down. I will definitely chase those two people back, peel off their skin and cramps, crush their bones and raise ashes."
Ma Teng was so ashamed that he also swore a poisonous oath.
Before Gai Jun could respond, Gai Yin came in and said that there were dozens of people outside the camp gate and sent two disheveled barbarians to see them.
"Captured?" This was what Gai Jun expected. The Qiang people did not understand Chinese and how could they go far when entering and exiting Han territory.
When the Erqiang were led into the big tent, all the generals of the two battalions were already present in the tent. Since there were no camp commanders or false marquises in the Guards Qu, there were a total of twenty-five camp commanders, six military marquises, and five false marquises among the officers.
, plus Gai Jun, Juqu Yuan'an and their personal followers, there were more than fifty people in total.
"Why are you running away?" Gai Jun asked through Guo Rui. Guo Rui is now the commander of the Youqu camp led by Yang Ang of Shehu camp.
A Qiang man knelt on the ground and trembled and replied: "The journey is too long and dangerous. I'm afraid I will never be able to return to my hometown."
Gai Jun was silent after hearing this, and asked Xiang Yang Ang for a long time: "What should I do if I am punished?"
Yang Ang replied: "You should be beheaded according to your crime. Hang your head at the gate of the camp to serve as a warning to others."
Gai Jun frowned and said, "Is the punishment too severe? Put them into the vanguard."
"No! Sima, these two people have no fighting spirit and can easily affect the morale of the soldiers. They must be beheaded to show the public to frighten and unsettle them."
"good……"
Seeing that Gai Jun had reluctantly agreed, Yang Ang had no choice but to be the villain himself. He held up his hand to Gai Jun and shouted outside the tent: "Come here! Push these two out - kill them!"
