"Doctor?"

Zhang's voice was so loud that even the son in his arms woke up, and he didn't care about him crying, Zhang pulled Chen Ping and asked, "Promoted to three levels in a row?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Chen Ping's smile was restrained, but he was also a little proud in his heart.

"The county lieutenant first promoted me directly to no change, and then asked Xianyang for a reward for me, and the imperial historian judged the merit and was directly promoted to the official doctor! The corresponding crown strap was just delivered today. ”

"Oh my God." Zhang was a little incredulous: "In this way, your title is about to catch up with your brother-in-law?" ”

Zhang Cang has been in Qin for ten years, and now he is only a doctor, Chen Ping has reached a position close to him in just one year, how can this make Zhang not stunned, and even have a feeling of "pie in the sky".

"My title is not blown by the wind."

Chen Ping pointed to his rough skin that was washed by the wind and sand outside the plug, as well as the two inner calluses that could not be shown, which were all traces left by months of running, this was hard work, and his miraculous feats made the Xiongnu fall into civil strife, Maodun was expelled, and the four departments of Henan were also frightened by Touman to rebel against the two.

"In the words of the county lieutenant, the reality I have detected outside the fortress can make the Qin army die thousands less, and my letter alone is equivalent to killing thousands of Xiongnu soldiers!"

So Chen Ping thinks that he deserves this credit! And Heifu even promised that after the end of this battle, the total merit will be calculated, and Chen Ping's title can even be mentioned again......

This meritorious service brought more than just a change of crown and robe, Chen Ping can now serve as the county Cao chief if he wants, and even an official at the level of the border county and county, but he still prefers to stay by Heifu's side and continue to be the county lieutenant.

"Gong Ao would rather abandon his position as a fake lieutenant in Nanchang and defect to the county lieutenant, is it really as he said, valuing righteousness? I'm afraid otherwise, what Gong Ao likes is the endless opportunities for meritorious service when he follows the county lieutenant! If you can make some gains in this battle, wouldn't it be much faster than staying at the edge of Yuzhang to grow sugarcane and catch the water cowards! ”

There is one thing that Chen Ping didn't tell anyone, on the way back to Beidi County in his light car, he passed by Shangjun Fushi, when Qin Shi Huang was inspecting there, Chen Ping stopped and drank water at Fushi Pavilion, looked at the emperor's car passing by, and suddenly had an idea:

"If I rely on Wu Shiyan's recommendation, I may be able to meet the emperor directly and express my discordant strategy!"

This thought made his heart pound, and it is everyone's goal to reach the heavens, and this kind of opportunity for performance is really hard to come by!

But then, Chen Ping dispelled this tempting idea again.

He is a sane man who has his personal interests as the cornerstone, but also thinks about the consequences.

First of all, since Gao gradually left the case, the emperor is no longer close to the people of the Six Kingdoms, and Chen Ping, as a remnant of the old Wei Dynasty, has a very small chance of being able to meet the emperor directly, let alone be appreciated by the emperor and rise to prominence.

Secondly, doing so means that he will skip the ranks for the sake of utilitarianism, turn his back on Heifu, and his reputation will be ruined, and he will no longer be supported by Heifu......

"It's short-sighted."

After some consideration, Chen Ping suppressed this idea and honestly returned to the north to resume his life.

Fortunately, Heifu did not treat him badly, with this great achievement, with the title of "official doctor", Chen Ping has become the head of Heifu's staff, and Gongao can no longer look down on him!

"However, my promotion is over for the time being, but Gong Ao can go and win his fame......"

Chen Ping is self-aware, knowing that he is a talent of strategy, but he can't do it when he marches and fights, this time Qin Shi Huang ordered Beidi County to fight, Heifu personally led the army, accompanied by Gong Ao and others, and Chen Ping was left in the county town and was responsible for logistics and grain.

With the help of his wife, he put on an official uniform, put on a crown, and took a photo in the bronze jian, he was already tall and handsome, and he was even more energetic at the moment. ”

Before Chen Ping went out, he also instructed his wife: "I'll send the county lieutenant to lead the army out of the city, when you have nothing to do, go to the county lieutenant's mansion more, the county lieutenant's wife is already pregnant, you can help more." ”

After speaking, Chen Ping hugged his two-year-old son Chen Mai and muttered: "I only hope that this county lieutenant can give birth to an heir, he is nearly twenty-seven years old, and he is not young, if he has no heirs, such a high title, such a large field, and a brown sugar industry worth tens of millions of dollars, who can succeed?" ”

……

"He kicked me!"

Across the wall, in the county governor's mansion, the well-dressed Heifu was kneeling on one knee very undignified, holding his wife's legs, his ears pressed against her bulging lower abdomen, and he seemed to hear the breathing and throbbing of the new life inside......

Husband is sometimes like a child, Ye Zijin reluctantly reached out and stroked Heifu's bun, and when he touched his armor, he closed his hand into a fist, hid it in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Are you urging your lover to go out quickly?" ”

"Or I'm angry that I can't be with him......"

Heifu stood up and sighed, "How difficult it is for the king, let alone start living. Won't you be nostalgic? I'm afraid of this short book. That poem, is that what it says? But this time, I actually caused myself. ”

If you don't look for yourself, Qin Shi Huang put four county captains in the four border counties, Meng Tian and Li Xin are generals, Feng Zheng is the second generation, but Heifu is the only one who goes to work, if he doesn't make some achievements, I'm afraid he will disappoint the emperor......

Just as his wife once advised him, his career is like sailing against the current, if he doesn't advance, he will retreat, and when he gets on this pole, there is no way to retreat, either he is kicked behind, or he is trying to climb up.

Her husband's expedition was imminent, and Ye Zijin was not as depressed as an ordinary wife, but forced a smile on her face: "If the beloved doesn't seek opportunities for himself to make meritorious contributions, our children don't even have a surname." ”

"Yes, yes."

Hefu looked at the sky outside, it was getting late, and he had to leave at once.

"Fortunately, I don't have to go through years and months, as short as a month, as long as two months."

Heifu only gave an approximate amount of time, and did not set up a flag, but according to his expectations, this time out of the fortress battle, Beidi County also sent only seven or eight thousand people, the purpose is to help Yan Rong, who is determined to surrender to Qin, to defend Huamachi, and build a fortress there as a place to store grain, so that he can continue to advance next year.

So he should be able to catch up with the birth of his first child.

"The concubine knitted a bag for her beloved." Seeing that Heifu was about to leave, Ye held his stomach and looked for it on the couch.

"Isn't that a South County custom?"

Heifu is a little funny, his wife has lived in Nanjun for a few years, and in many ways she is becoming more and more like a Jing Chu person. Qu Yuan once said that for people in the land of Jingchu, using fragrant flowers and plants as gifts to lovers and husbands is the most fixed way to convey affection. And the dried herbs are packed in a delicate silk bag, which is called the pouch.

Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it.

Ye handed a bag wrapped in a brocade to Heifu, and when he saw that Heifu wanted to open it, he raised his eyebrows and insisted: "I hope that the lover will go out of the city and take a look." ”

Heifu bowed his head, hugged his wife's belly again, and kissed it on it, and Ye Zijin put on a heavy hood for him, and when he wore it, Heifu was no longer a gentle husband, but a general commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield!

"It's been three years."

Heifu let his wife help him tidy up his clothes, hung the sword on the sash, and couldn't help but sigh: "After returning from Yuzhang, three full years have passed, Daqin has not fought for three years, the horse is put into Nanshan, the sword halberd is in storage, I am also busy with the court and the place, and if I don't move, I am afraid that I will have raw meat between the hips!" ”

……

"County Captain!"

"See the lieutenant!"

Outside the gate of Yiqu City, when Heifu's chariot galloped in, the five hundred lords who were waiting here surrounded him, led the eldest grandson Bailu, Yiqu White Wolf and others to salute him.

The horses are four carefully selected black horses, each with a shoulder height of more than six feet and five inches, with mulberry wood as the emperor, and Gongao wearing thick armor as the right side of the car, holding a sword and halberd to protect the safety of the black man.

Heifu looked back at the top of the city tower, and the county guard Zhao Hai and the county Cheng Yintong, who had just sent him off, bowed their hands, and Shi Chenping, the county lieutenant standing in the cave of the city gate, fell to the ground.

Looking ahead, on both sides of the official road, there are full of chariots and horses, among which the three hundred Liangzi carefully built by Heifu are the most well-equipped, wearing flat cavalry fur hats, wearing dark light armor, and crimson battle robes, in addition to swords, spears, bows and arrows, but also equipped with crossbows.

Another 1,000 Rong cavalry, mainly from the Ohara Five Division, of which 100 people, were detained in a fight last fall, and after discussing with the ruler of the Ohara Five Division, Heifu gave these 100 people the opportunity to atone for their sins, let them act as dead soldiers, as a vanguard action, these Rong people also hate private fights, and public wars are also strong.

In addition, there are 5,000 county soldiers, spears and halberds such as forests, under the distant view, the smoke and dust are filled, the military appearance is very prosperous, out of the car Peng Peng, 旂旐 (qízhào) Yangyang.

Seeing this, Heifu couldn't help but be angry.

During the second expedition, Heifu had seen a big scene of hundreds of thousands of people! But at that time, he was just a small leader, a supporting role on the battlefield, and he was going to go wherever Wang Jian and Li Youjingqi pointed.

But today is different, as the magistrate of a county, the real commander of more than 6,000 people! And the journey to be embarked on is no longer a civil war, but a trip to open up territory for Zhuxia.

"Boy...... This self-respect is rampant! ”

Reciting this silently in his heart, Heifu asked Gongao to raise the handsome flag and point to the north!

He shouted out the order of Qin Shi Huang in the edict.

"The Son of Heaven ordered me, the other side of the city!"

……

It wasn't until he left Yiqu City for dozens of miles and stopped to make food in the next county that Heifu remembered the bag given by his wife.

He lit the candle and took it out to look at it, but saw that the bag was made of exquisite Qi, embroidered with elegant patterns, and filled with air-dried Northland herbs, which Ye Zijin had picked by herself outside the city in the middle of summer, and she had embroidered female workers there all day long, not only to make close-fitting singles for Heifu, but also to make them......

And to Heifu's surprise, there were also a few lines of small characters embroidered on the bag.

He couldn't help but read it softly: "There are birds in the south mountain, and there are birds in the north mountain." Thinking of a gentleman, why not go far? Andelian is a gentleman ......"

This is not those poems that have been circulated for a long time, but the gift poems that Ye Zijin came up with by himself, which has a bit of the charm of the Book of Poetry and a bit of melody of Chu Ci.

"Awesome!"

Heifu couldn't help smacking his tongue: "I never thought that Madame still has such skills, I can only occasionally copy a sentence, but she can compose poems by herself!" ”

At the time of Heifu's expedition, in Yiqu City, in the county governor's mansion, the wind was clear, only a little yellow finch flew into the room, jumping on the seer, shaking a slight string sound:

"There are birds in the south mountain, and Zhang Luo in the north mountain.

Birds fly high, what can Luo Dang do?

The king is safe, and the concubine is not him! ”
