Chapter 193: The Old Pawn of Jimen Pass

The news of Li Xin's return soon spread, and the generals of the two lieutenant battalions came out of the post station to greet Li Xin, the boss.

The old lieutenant Wang Zhong also walked out of the post station, looked Li Xin up and down, and after seeing that Li Xin had nothing to do, he was also relieved.

This old captain, after retiring from the battlefield, has been in the Yulin Guard for twenty or thirty years, at the beginning of his youth, there were still people who curry favor with him, but then he is getting older and older, and he is still a captain, and everyone sees that he has no future, so they rarely pay attention to him.

In recent years, Li Xin, a young man, has been polite to him, and he will be called Master when he speaks.

The sloppy, gray-haired old lieutenant shook his head, pulled Li Xin to a few stone benches in the courtyard of the post station and sat down, took out the wine bag from his waist and stuffed it into Li Xin's hand.

"Take a few sips to suppress the shock."

Li Xin glanced at Wang Zhong in surprise: "How did Master Wang know that I was frightened in the capital?" ”

Wang Zhong glared at Li Xin: "When you left that day, you talked like that, Lao Tzu thought that you went to the capital to send you to death, although it is okay now, but I think there have been many twists and turns in the past few days." ”

Li Xin happily took his wine bag and raised his head to take a sip.

Wang Zhong's wine bag was filled with bad wine, and the taste was not very good, but it was quite spicy.

The old lieutenant smiled, took back his wine bag, stuffed it back into his waist, and then reached out and patted Li Xin's shoulder: "Okay, take a sip of wine and find a room to rest, we have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

Li Xin nodded at the old lieutenant and said with a smile: "Master Wang, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Wang Zhong put his hands behind his back and walked farther and farther away: "At your age, no matter what happens to good things or bad things, it can be regarded as a good thing." ”

A moment later, Wang Zhong was gone.

Li Xin shook his head, found a room in the post station, and fell asleep.

In the past few days, although there is no danger, Li Xin still consumes a lot of mental energy, although the conditions of this post station are simple, but he also sleeps soundly.

——————————

Along the way, Li Xin and other 400 people, along the way as much as possible to rest during the day, morning and evening, like this walked for more than a month, although there were several twists and turns along the way, but finally came to the vicinity of Jimen Pass without danger.

Jimen Pass is the first Xiongguan in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is also the first pass for foreign tribes in the north to go south.

After a month or two of running around, the old lieutenant Wang Zhong and Mu Ying and other people who were originally dark-skinned couldn't see any changes, but Li Xin was tanned a lot, and the whole person became wheat-colored, looking more mature, and no longer looked like an unreliable young man.

In the past month or so, Wang Zhong not only taught Li Xin to practice boxing, but also taught him some how to choose the location of the camp, and the basis of his own army.

At the very least, he can make it clear to you that he commands the four hundred people under his command.

The thistle gate is far away.

The old lieutenant Wang Zhong stood on a big car at the front, looked at the tall Jimen Gate from afar, and finally sighed deeply.

Li Xin rode on the dark cloud horse, walking side by side with the cart, glanced at the rare and sentimental old captain, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, aren't you from the south, how can you have a relationship with Jimen Pass?" ”

Wang Zhong glanced back at Li Xin without being salty, and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, Ye Shuai took us all the way north from the capital, and it took eight years to pacify the Northern Zhou, and finally hit near Jimen Pass, Ye Shuai said that he would fight here, so we will not continue to the north." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhong was a little gloomy: "It was also at that time that Ye Shuai was recalled to the capital, and Lao Tzu and his brothers were also interested in Langshan, and followed Ye Shuai back to Beijing, and later the court arranged for Lao Tzu to be in this Laoshizi Yulin Weili, and it has been more than thirty years in a blink of an eye......

The Ye Shuai in Wang Zhong's mouth is Chen Guogong Ye Sheng.

Li Xin originally only knew that this old lieutenant had retired from the army, and he didn't know which army it was, but now when he heard him say it, he felt a little more admiration in his heart.

Wang Zhong is not yet sixty years old this year, which means that when he retired from the army with Ye Sheng, he would not be more than thirty years old, which is the peak age of a military man!

You must know that when Wang Zhong first entered Yulinwei, he was a captain, but he didn't know how to be a man, he didn't advance an inch for thirty years, and as soon as he retired, he was assigned to Yulinwei as a captain, which shows that he was not a nobody in the Northern Army at that time, if Wang Zhong was willing to stay in the army, he might be a general at this time.

However, just because Ye Sheng was recalled to Beijing, Wang Zhong's group of people were also disheartened, so they simply followed Ye Sheng back to Beijing and worked on an errand in Yulinwei.

Wang Zhong stretched out his hand and pointed to the Jimen Pass not far away, tilted his head slightly, and said: "This Jimen Pass is the northern gateway of the Northern Zhou Dynasty back then, and it was taken down by Ye Shuai in a battle, and since then it has become the gateway of my Great Jin!" ”

Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled: "Master Wang, now the chief general of the Northern Army is Ye Ming, the eldest son of Ye Guogong, do you recognize it?" ”

Wang Zhong shook his head: "Uncle Ye went out of Beijing more than ten years ago, and at that time, Lao Tzu was already working in the capital, and he had no chance to meet Uncle Ye. ”

The old lieutenant said with some admiration: "But Ye Shuai's son, no matter what, he won't be bad." ”

Yes, this is Ye Sheng's brainless fan......

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have a relationship with Ye Guogong, this time when we return to the capital, I will take Master Wang to meet Ye Guogong." ”

Wang Zhong looked excited at first, then took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "I heard that Ye Shuai's situation has not been very good these years, and he has not been out of the door in recent years, so we old subordinates should not go to see him, so as not to cause trouble to his old man." ”

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived near Jimen Pass, and several border soldiers in armor looked Li Xin's group up and down, and said, "Where are you from?" ”

Li Xin sat on the dark cloud horse and said loudly: "Li Xin, captain of Yulin Guard, Wang Zhong, escorted the military resources on the order of the Holy Son of Heaven and sent them to the Zhenbei Army!" ”

The pawn was a little suspicious, and immediately reported it, and after a while, a young man with a good appearance ran over, first glanced at Li Xin, and then asked: "Military funds have always been escorted by the Ministry of War, how can there be a reason for the guards to escort military funds?" ”

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "This batch of things is a bit special, so the Son of Heaven is escorted by the pro-army. ”

"Do you have paperwork?"

"Yes."

Li Xin took out the documents from his sleeve that were approved by the Ministry of War, as well as the documents stamped with the seal of Shangshutai, and handed them over.

These two things are indispensable, and if the program goes wrong, these border soldiers may shoot Li Xin and others with random arrows in the next moment.

After a little half an hour, these border soldiers finally confirmed the documents of the imperial court, made way for a way, and let Li Xin and them in.

Li Xin turned over and dismounted, and ordered his subordinates Yu Linwei to wait in place, and he himself took Mu Ying and Wang Zhong and walked into the Zhenbei Army Marshal's tent located in Jimen Pass.
