Chapter 1089: General, Two Women

Xiangshan was originally known as Xianglu Mountain, named because of the appearance of an incense burner, Xue Bingxin led the villagers to settle here and changed its name to Xiangshan. Xiangshan is located on the bank of Lingshui, although the soil is fertile and the trees are lush, the mountain is low and gentle, and it is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

However, after more than a year of construction, today's Xiangshan has changed greatly, the houses on the mountain are lined up one after another, the foot of the mountain is built with wood and stone walls, and there are more than a dozen arrow towers, which have a certain defense capability.

In addition, the cottage also relies on Lingshui to build the first line of defense, the method is very simple, is to insert a large number of sharp wooden stakes in the river, when the river surface freezes, the wooden stakes will be sealed in the ice, become a tripping horse pile, can effectively block the frontal impact of the cavalry. In fact, as long as the Lingshui does not freeze, the river surface more than ten meters wide is itself an effective line of defense against the cavalry.

It is now a cold winter wax moon, and the Lingshui has been frozen for three feet, and there is no problem running on it. Under the sun, but on the ice of the river in front of Xiangshan, the dense sharp wooden piles have been covered with frost, leaving only a passage several meters wide for people and horses to pass through, but there are also two rows of rejecting horses on the channel, and there are villagers who are responsible for guarding here.

Nearly two hundred miles from Helin to the incense burner mountain, after Xue Bingxin learned that the capital was coming, he immediately eagerly rushed back, and finally returned to the incense burner mountain after a few hours, and saw a strict team stopped at the foot of the cottage from a distance.

Xue Bingxin's heartbeat accelerated in vain, there were so many people here, could it be that guy himself came? Hmph, come on, what's so rare, people don't want this bastard, not at all!

Xue Bingxin was deceiving herself in her heart, but the acceleration was obviously accelerated, she stood out from the team, and rushed to the Lingshui in front of the mountain first.

Xue Bingxin crossed the Lingshui and ran directly to the foot of Xiangshan, the team stationed at the foot of the mountain was about 3,000 people, and they all looked at Xue Bingxin and others at this time.

Xue Bingxin glanced at this team, and her willow eyebrows couldn't help frowning, because the team in front of her was so weird, tall and thin, they were tall and thin, neither wearing mandarin duck jackets nor using flintlock pistols, so it was impossible for them to be the Shenji Battalion, not even the Beijing Battalion, their weapons were of different lengths, and some even had sickles hanging from their waists.

"What the hell is that guy, sending so many people to cut wheat?" Xue Bingxin's mind was full of questions, Zhao Hu and Xue Liang were also confused, but Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong, who followed closely, had strange expressions, especially Xie Erjian, whose originally cold faces turned a little red with excitement.

At this time, the gate of the village opened, and Liu Dali, the fifth master who was in charge of staying behind, led the crowd to greet him, and said with a strange expression: "The big boss is back, and the guests from the capital have been waiting in Juyi Hall for a long time. ”

Xue Bingxin nodded, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to a minion, and walked towards Juyi Hall with two long legs, Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong hurriedly dismounted and followed.

At this time, there were two pots of charcoal fire burning in the Juyi Hall, which was much warmer than outside, and the fourth uncle was greeting two distinguished guests from the capital, and when Xue Bingxin walked into the lobby, the three people on the seat turned their heads to look at each other.

Xue Bingxin glanced at it quickly, and couldn't help but be disappointed, because the person who came was not Xu Jin at all, one of them was vaguely familiar, and the other young general was completely unfamiliar, but he looked very handsome, with fair skin, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and he was girly, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xue Bingxin!

Xue Bingxin frowned unhappily, and said in her heart, what kind of people did this guy send!

"Jinyi Wei Qianhu Sima Yuan, I have seen Miss Xue, after a few years, Miss Xue is still beautiful, congratulations!"

At this time, the middle-aged man with some familiar faces stood up and saluted Xue Bingxin with a fist. Xue Bingxin finally recognized it at this time, and clasped her fists and saluted: "It turned out to be Sima Qianhu!" ”

Back then, Sima Yuan accompanied Xu Jin to Shandong for disaster relief, and Xue Bingxin formed a relationship with Xu Jin when he was in Shandong, so the two knew each other, but now Huo'er is more than four years old, and after so many years, Xue Bingxin didn't recognize this Jinyi Wei Baihu at first sight. At that time, Sima Yuan was only a hundred households, and he ran errands by Xu Jin's side.

At this time, the young general, who was as beautiful as a woman, stood up, bowed to Xue Bingxin heroically, and said in a thick voice: "In Xia Cen Lan, I have seen the big boss, and I have admired the name of the third lady for a long time. ”

Xue Bingxin was stunned for a moment, and her originally cold and pretty face suddenly became even colder, although this Cen Lan had a rough voice, she could hear that it was deliberate, and she was clearly a woman.

Xue Bingxin was full of joy, she thought that the man she had been thinking about day and night had come in person, but her own man did not come, but he sent a beautiful woman, and she was angry in her heart.

At this moment, Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong, who came in later, were stunned for a moment, and the former blurted out excitedly: "Xiaolan!" ”

Cen Lan was still smiling, but when she saw Xie Erjian walking in, she immediately felt like she had been electrocuted, her apricot eyes suddenly turned red, and she shouted: "Brother Jian!" After speaking, he flew out like a cannonball and plunged into Xie Erjian's arms.

Xie Erjian snorted, hugged Cen Lan tightly with both hands, the resolute lines on his face softened instantly, and said gently: "Xiaolan, why are you here?" ”

Cen Lan raised her teary eyes and said, "The man hasn't been home for more than a year, so he had to find it himself." ”

Xie Erjian couldn't help but feel distressed, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his heart was full of apology and guilt. Last year, when he and Qi Jingtong led 2,000 brothers from the Shenji Battalion to raid Fengzhou Chuan, his wife Cen Lan was still pregnant with a fetus, but she stayed outside the fortress for more than a year, and now her sons are one year old, and he has not seen each other.

If the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, fighting on the battlefield and serving the country, so they can't take care of the small family, but what!

"I'm sorry!" Xie Erjian almost choked up and said three words, for more than a year, he led his brothers to go deep alone, traveling thousands of miles outside the fortress, wandering on the edge of life and death countless times, his will had already been sharpened as hard as iron, but at this moment, he wanted to cry a little.

Qi Jingtong next to him grinned and teased Xie Erjian for not showing any interest, but he smiled and smiled, his eyes were also red, he also had a family, his son Qi Jiguang was four years old, and now it was the New Year, and he was also homesick.

Xue Bingxin was relieved at the moment, quietly looking at Xie Erjian and Cen Lan who were hugging each other, she was inexplicably a little envious, she also missed men!

The fourth uncle gave Xue Bingxin a secret look, and the latter immediately understood and followed the fourth uncle to the side.

"The big boss, this Cen Lan is not ordinary, he participated in the coastal battle of Pingwei back then, was named the lady of the Sanpin Command, and now his position is a general, and he brought three thousand wolf soldiers to join the cottage, what does Xu Jin mean? Don't you want to listen to the surname Cen in the future? The fourth uncle complained in a low voice with a little displeasure.

Xue Bingxin looked a little unnatural and said: "If she has real skills, it's not impossible to listen to her." ”

The fourth uncle frowned and said: "Jiajing promised that as long as the big boss makes great contributions, he can get amnesty, but now that Cen Lan is in charge, whose credit will be the one at that time?" ”

"That is, we only listen to the big bosses, if we change Na Cen Lan as the leader, the brothers will not agree." Zhao Hu leaned over and said in a deep voice.

Just when Zhao Hu and the others were indignant, Xie Erjian and Cen Lan finally finished saving, Xie Erjian was not Xu Jin, and he was still quite tender in front of everyone's eyes.

Cen Lan wiped away her tears, put on a smiling face, saluted Xue Bingxin again, and said solemnly: "Although I don't thank you for my great kindness, Cen Lan still wants to thank General Xue for helping to find my second sword." ”

"Mrs. Xie is polite!" Xue Bingxin said subconsciously, suddenly felt that something was wrong, frowned and said, "What did Mrs. Xie call me just now?" ”

Cen Lan grinned, then looked whole, saluted a military salute, and said loudly: "The last general Cen Lan, I have seen General Xue!" ”

"General?" Xue Bingxin was stunned, Zhao Hu and Xue Liang looked at each other, but the fourth uncle had a gleam in his eyes and a happy face.

At this time, Sima Yuan smiled and took out a volume of holy decrees and said, "Xue Da is in charge of the order!" ”

Xue Bingxin's body trembled, with her background, she naturally understood what the holy decree meant, and subconsciously knelt on it, the fourth uncle, the old eunuch, had already knelt down one step earlier. Zhao Hu, Xue Liang, and Liu Dali hesitated for a moment, and finally fell to their knees.

Only then did Sima Yuan clear his throat, open the holy decree and read it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the system says: Xue Bingxin, Lei Jun, Zhao Hu...... Although you are thieves, and you are even more involved in Shandong's rebellion, you should have been punished, but you have the heart to change your past wrongs, and have the ambition to kill the enemy and serve the country...... Xue Bingxin is hereby appointed as the general of Xiangshan, and Lei Jun, Zhao Hu, Xue Liang, and Liu Dali are all guerrilla generals. ”

"The last general's decree, thank you!" Xue Bingxin's voice trembled a little, and she solemnly raised her hands and prepared to receive the holy decree.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu and the others hurriedly followed suit, shouting to thank you!

Sima Yuan rolled up the holy decree, put it in Xue Bingxin's hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Xue, congratulations to all of you!" ”

"Haha, Lao Tzu has now changed from a bandit to a guerrilla general?" Xue Liang touched the back of his head and laughed.

Zhao Hu and others were also smiling, being a general is more promising than being a bandit.

Xue Bingxin held the holy decree in her hand, and had mixed feelings in her heart, that man really did it, and in the future, we can go to the capital justifiably, but the premise is to survive the next fierce battles!

The fourth uncle frowned and said: "When Xianqing was just now, General Cen said that he brought three thousand wolf soldiers to assist the cottage, but General Cen is a general, and the position of our big boss is also a general, so who has the final say?" ”

Zhao Hu, Xue Liang and Liu Dali hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, who is in charge, this must be made clear in advance!" ”

Cen Lan said slyly: "The Yasukuni Duke will come to the cottage at the end of his life, but he didn't say who is the main one...... However, the last general has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the environment outside the Cypriot Island, so he is naturally dominated by General Xue. ”

Zhao Hu and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, and looked at Cen Lan much more pleasing to the eye, Xue Bingxin smiled and said modestly: "Cen Shen General has participated in the Battle of Pingwei, and he will be in charge in the future...... This will be directed to Cen Shen will ask for more advice! ”

Cen Lan said with a smile: "General Xue Shen is too modest, he can establish a firm foothold in the territory of the Tartars, and develop to this scale, General Xue Shen is not an idle person!" ”

When the two women compliment each other, there is nothing to do with the other men!
