After Meng Hui said this, after pausing slightly, he looked at Gao Huaiyuan's face, and after seeing that the expression on his face began to loosen somewhat, he continued:

"When we found out that something went wrong, my father led us to immediately start troops from Da Yaozhuang, while contacting General Hu and General Chen's soldiers and horses, and rushing here to rescue you, but I ran into a Jin army ranger on the road, delayed for some time, and after killing them, I arrived here last night, and General Hu and General Chen connected to each other, and then this morning after the Jin soldiers' action, they took advantage of the situation to take them in one fell swoop! That's how it all began!

Although this time the incident was very dangerous, Brother Gao really lived up to expectations, and still stuck here for a whole day, not letting the Jin army succeed! My father was very pleased, and he was actually very sorry for Brother Gao!

Today, Brother Gao's mood can be understood by my father, so he wants to come over to explain this matter in person, but because he still has to arrange for an immediate army to attack the Jin army outside Zaoyang County, so I will come over first, hoping that Brother Gao can dissipate his anger!

The foolish brother can vouch for his personality, and his father has no idea of despising the lives of you and other villagers, but it was only because of a mistake in passing the news that Brother Gao had a misunderstanding! I don't know if Brother Gao is still angry after listening to Brother Yu's explanation? ”

After Gao Huaiyuan calmed down and listened to Meng Hui's explanation, he thought about it for a while, and he figured out the reason for this matter, no matter what, Meng Zongzheng and Meng Heng were both famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, so they should not take such a big risk when making plans!

And Meng Heng said that he sent an envoy to pass the order to himself, and there should be no fake, after all, if he didn't do this, it would be a joke for the whole plan; The reason why I didn't receive the order is that the envoy had an accident on the road, so he didn't let himself run into it, anything on the battlefield can be encountered, even if such things have happened on the battlefield in later generations, the transmission of information in this era can only rely on people to transmit, no one can guarantee that something will happen, this is actually excusable!

The war is really full of variables, and it happens that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and this can't be blamed on Meng Zongzheng and Meng Heng!

So Gao Huaiyuan let out a long breath, feeling that he had indeed misunderstood them, not to mention that he had already committed the following crimes by doing this, as a person who commanded the army, to his subordinates, Meng Zongzheng did not have to be so polite at all, even if he was really wrong, now that the battle has been won, he can still receive his military exploits with peace of mind, and he doesn't need to explain anything to himself at all.

Thinking of this, he stood up and bowed to Meng Heng and said, "I see, it seems that the junior brother has misunderstood Brother Meng and Master Meng!" The younger brother implores Brother Meng to forgive the younger brother for the crime of disrespect! After all, the younger brother is young and has a bad temper, so Brother Meng should not be like me! ”

When Meng Heng heard this, he immediately laughed, got up and grabbed Gao Huaiyuan's hand and said, "Okay! You don't care about our father and son coming to save too late, the foolish brother is very happy, to be honest, when I heard yesterday that you have been surrounded by the Jin army in Qifang Town, I was really worried about death, for fear that something would happen to you, and I couldn't resist us to save you, but when I arrived outside Qifang Town last night, I was relieved!

There are indeed things that we have not thought about this matter well, and if you arrange it more carefully, you will be more prepared, you don't have to take such risks, let me see how your injuries are! Meng Heng's concern was beyond words, and he stretched out his hand to pull Gao Huaiyuan and looked his injuries up and down.

"It's just a small injury, Brother Meng doesn't have to worry about it!" Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly said.

"Are these the last injuries you suffered in the tiger's mouth? What a man! This time, I filled in these wounds again, and it was all too late for the foolish brother! Brother suffered! Meng Hui pointed to some red scars on Gao Huaiyuan's body and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"It's just a coincidence! In the battle of the tiger's mouth, I had no way to avoid it, so I could only fight to the death! Who made me lucky? As long as you come out, you can meet the golden soldiers, which is also taken care of by God! Gao Huaiyuan thought about what happened to him, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and work their muscles and bones! Brother, you are in this situation, it can be regarded as a test of God, foolish brother dare not say anything else, but dare to say that in this life, brother, you will never do nothing, you have such ability, why not join the army with the foolish brother and serve the country? Meng Hui had Gao Huaiyuan's idea again.

"Huh! Brother Meng praised the little brother falsely! I'm just relying on luck, how can I be as powerful as you say, and now I'm still young, this time I'm already carrying my father on my back, or after I go back, after telling my father, I'll talk about it with his consent! Besides, don't I serve my country the same now? I am reluctant to let me leave these brothers! Gao Huaiyuan raised this shield again.

Meng Hui saw that he still didn't agree, so he continued to persuade for a while, this is considered to be a stop, in his opinion, Gao Huaiyuan's refusal to join the army naturally has his thoughts, and his father may want him to take another career, after all, the status of a soldier is not high, and there may be this reason, so he put down the topic and turned to how Gao Huaiyuan blocked the crazy attack of Jin Bing here this time.

After Gao Huaiyuan untied the knots in his heart, he did not hide it from Meng Heng, and told Meng Heng exactly how he commanded this rabble to repel the attacks of the Jin army this time, and omitted the part where he personally fought on the wall.

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Meng Heng sighed again and again: "Brother, don't look at your young age, this courage is not small!" You dare to kill even the county lieutenant of Fangling County, there is really nothing you dare not do! Hehe! I'm not as good as you! But you have to be careful about this matter, after all, that Zhou County Lieutenant is an official of the imperial court, if you kill him, I am afraid that he will inevitably be impeached, and you must know a little about this kind of thing in the future, you are right to do this, you can do it in another way, this kind of thing can be sent to arrest him first and show the public, and the province will cause trouble!

Again, it may be your strong style that shocked those villagers, otherwise it might be a different situation! Don't worry, I'll tell my father and ask them to vouch for you, so that no one will be guilty of you!"

I brought the medical officer over this time, hurry up and deal with the wound, if you can still fight, I want you to accompany me to Zaoyang, the battle to such a field, the siege of Zaoyang should also be solved! You don't want to miss this opportunity! ”

When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Meng for reminding me, I know what to do in the future!" I'm okay with this injury, it's just that the leg is a little heavier, anyway, riding a horse, it doesn't have much impact! How could you miss such a great battle! ”

So Gao Huaiyuan immediately cleaned up, changed into clean clothes, and had people wipe the blood stains on his armor, and immediately limped to Meng Zongzheng's temporary tent, waiting for orders.

Meng Zongzheng also knew at this time that Gao Huaiyuan's knot had been untied, and when he saw him coming, he was still lame, so he specially ordered someone to arrange a stool for him to sit down and listen to the order, which was regarded as taking special care of him.

And because this battle was fought beautifully, no one in the army dared to underestimate him, a hairy guy, and they all nodded to him and expressed their admiration, Gao Huaiyuan's mood suddenly improved a lot, it was not easy to win the respect of these generals, at least he was not ashamed, and he would not be looked down upon again when he walked in the army in the future!

Meng Zongzheng had already arranged most of the affairs in the army before Gao Huaiyuan rushed over, and when Gao Huaiyuan came, he specially asked, "How is Commander Gao's injury now?" Can you still act? ”

Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly stood up and thanked: "Thank you Meng Chan for your concern, the young general's injury is fine, and he can still go into battle to kill the enemy, please Meng Chan just command!" ”

Meng Zongzheng nodded approvingly and said: "You have all seen it, Commander Gao is so brave at a young age, if we are all as dare to kill the enemy in front of the battle as Commander Gao, why worry about the golden dog being undefeated?" This time the victory of Qifang Town, the high commander should be the first credit! After this battle, Meng expected that the Jin army was already at the end of the crossbow, and it was the time for us to retreat from the enemy to relieve the siege of Zaoyang. Commander Gao, please act with our Chinese army this time, and when the decisive battle comes, I hope you can move forward bravely! ”

The generals immediately responded in an uproar, and even Gao Huaiyuan, a child, with these village warriors, can make such a feat, if they are afraid of the tail, won't they laugh off the big teeth of the people in the world? The morale of the soldiers was immediately at an all-time high.

After the generals left the big tent, Meng Zongzheng specially ordered Gao Huaiyuan to stay, and said to him: "No matter what, the old man has to apologize to Huaiyuan, it was the old man's poor arrangement that made you take such a big risk, and you suffered so many injuries, you should blame me, now there are really not many people like you in our Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, how can my Great Song be bullied by the golden dog like this!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan heard that Meng Zongzheng apologized to himself personally, and the dissatisfaction in his heart naturally disappeared, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Meng doesn't need to say it anymore, the things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, no wonder Lord Meng!" Since the young man is here, he will naturally put life and death aside, this time he will go to Zaoyang to retreat from the enemy, as long as Lord Meng has the need, just give the order! The young general will definitely serve his life! ”

"Good! In that case, how about this time Huaiyuan, you will act with the dog Meng Heng and act as his lieutenant? Meng Zongzheng said that he really loved this Gao Huaiyuan, and he also had a small calculation in his heart, wanting to pull Gao Huaiyuan into his subordinates, at least let him help his son Meng Hui.

"Thank you for your support, Huaiyuan should obey his orders!" Gao Huaiyuan nodded and agreed.

In the afternoon, Gao Huaiyuan gathered the villagers of the baggage battalion, and left the wounded of the four township barracks and the baggage battalion in Qifang Town to recuperate, and only brought the township soldiers of the baggage battalion under his command, and drove out of Qifang Town with Meng Zongzheng's army and rushed towards Zaoyang.

Originally, his team of 1,000 people, after more than a day of fierce battles in Qifang Town, now there are less than 700 people left, and then the wounded are removed, exactly more than 500 people, which is a full battalion formation, and the army joined Meng Heng's left army, which greatly strengthened the strength of Meng Hui's left wing army.

This matter made Hu Zaixing depressed, he had already been optimistic about Gao Huaiyuan, and wanted to pull Gao Huaiyuan into his command, but this time he was left by Meng Zongzheng, he was unwilling in his heart, and secretly muttered to Meng Zongzheng, but was sent back to his army by Meng Zongzheng in a few words, not only did he not want to come to Gao Huaiyuan, but he was also reprimanded by Meng Zongzheng, saying that he talked a lot, and almost made Gao Huaiyuan and the generals discord, Hu Zaixing gave up, but he still sent someone to send Gao Huaiyuan a piece of armor, Leave a message for him, so that once he is willing to join the army, it is better to work under him! Let Gao Huaiyuan get another set of armor, he can only secretly apologize in his heart, even if he really joins the army, he will only follow Meng Hui, the future general, where will he go to re-xing!

He knew that in history, Meng Hui was an absolute famous general in the military history of all dynasties in China, and even compared with Yue Fei, he was not weaker than Yue Fei's exploits! The reason why he is not as famous as many famous generals in history is not because his merits are smaller than others, but because the history of the Song Dynasty was cultivated by the Yuan Dynasty and deliberately ignored many of Meng Hui's achievements, which led to many people not knowing him as a famous general, but Gao Huaiyuan had heard others say that Meng Heng was powerful, so he was very glad that he could fight side by side with Meng Hui once in this life.

After going on the road with Meng Hui, Gao Huaiyuan listened to Meng Hui's subordinates talk about it, it turned out that when he was awarded for meritorious service, Meng Hui followed Meng Zongzheng and was not idle here, he soon showed unusual talent in the army, and led the troops many times to win more with less, and even made strange plans to defeat the Jin army, so that in a short period of time, he was promoted from a small capital at the beginning to the position of the commander of the left army in Meng Zongzheng's army, without taking advantage of his father's name, and really got this position because of his own military exploits. And it was unanimously recognized by the officers and men in the army.

Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but admire, a genius is a genius, no matter how it changes, it can't hide the light of genius! However, he is not arrogant, compared with Meng Heng, the identities of the two people are different, and the things they do are naturally different, and the exploits he has obtained in the two battles of Laohukou and Qifang Town are not worse than Meng Heng, but one of the two is an officer and the other is a common person, although Gao Huaiyuan is Meng Hui's deputy general this time, but if you count it in terms of grade, Gao Huaiyuan is even higher than Meng Hui.

After all, he is now a Bao Yilang named by Zhao Fang, and he is considered a nine-rank sesame official, and although Meng Heng is temporarily the commander of the left army in Meng Zong's political army, he does not have a substantive official title, so Meng Heng is also very polite to Gao Huaiyuan, and the two get along very happily.

Seeing Gao Huaiyuan's majestic appearance of stepping down from the knife in the horse's shoe, Meng Heng nodded again and again to express his admiration, and asked him: "I see that the knife in your hand is extraordinary, can you lend it to the foolish brother?" ”

Gao Huaiyuan is also a petty official now anyway, so he didn't hide it, and brought this Mo knife given to him by his master, and his knife was originally different from the long-handled big knife of the Song Dynasty, and it was very eye-catching in his hand, and Meng Heng was also a person who liked to fiddle with weapons, and he could see the extraordinaryness of this knife at a glance.

Gao Huaiyuan was not stingy, and handed the knife to Meng Hui to watch, Meng Hui held the knife, watched it on the horse for a long time, and sighed: "This knife is probably a treasure knife left by the previous dynasty!" It's really extraordinary, this knife is in Huaiyuan's hands, and it really doesn't insult it! However, this knife is a Mo knife used in the battle under the step, not very suitable for immediate combat, if you fight immediately, it is not easy to exert its power, you are now injured in the leg, you need to ride a horse into battle, I happen to have a suitable for immediate combat with the glaive knife, although it is not as good as your Mo knife, but it can let you play your strength more, just give it to you! You should put this knife away properly, and use it again when you get off the horse and fight on foot! ”

After that, he returned the Mo knife to Gao Huaiyuan, and ordered his soldiers to take the glaive knife he had collected and give it to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan took the glaive knife, first looked at the shape of the knife, and the shape of the Qinglong glaive knife used by Guan Gong in his impression was a little similar, but it was not so exaggerated, the blade was not as long as the Mo knife, but it was thicker, the blade was not very sharp, but it was very heavy and powerful, and the handle was longer, and it was used on a horse, it was not easy to hurt himself and the war horse, and he weighed it in his hand again, and waved it a few times and said with a smile: "This knife is really good!" It's really easier to use right away, little brother thanked Brother Meng! But if a gentleman doesn't take away people's favor, how can the younger brother take away Brother Meng's love? This knife is still used by Brother Meng! ”

"Beautiful jade for celebrities, swords for heroes! Although this knife is easy to use, I don't have as much strength as you, so I can't give it to your full power, so I'd better give it to your brother! This knife of mine is not a treasure knife, but it can be regarded as a little bit of my heart! You're welcome, brother! Meng Heng was telling the truth, when he asked for this knife with a lot of money, he found that his strength was not enough to control this knife, although he also practiced martial arts for a long time, but he still couldn't give full play to the power of this knife, so he couldn't bear to cut his love and gave him to Gao Huaiyuan, one is to apologize for this incident, make up for the mistakes of their father and son, and the other is to hope to really make Gao Huaiyuan a friend, so he insisted.

Gao Huaiyuan naturally understood his intentions, so he was no longer polite, and after thanking him repeatedly, he put away the glaive knife and used it as his main weapon immediately, which could be regarded as selling Meng Hui a face, and the friendship between the two of them increased a lot.
