Zong Ze immediately said: "There is an order from the imperial court, that is, to form a death squad, with Deng Yun as the commander and as Wu Jinglang." Yang Zaixing is the deputy general, and the rest of the positions are decided by the two of you through consultation.

The death squad, numbering three thousand, practiced for half a month, that is, went to the frontier, one to defend the homeland, and retreated to the criminals. Second, I will listen to the orders of Captain Tong at any time, but if there is an order, I will immediately enter Yanyun and retrieve the land that should belong to my Great Song River Map!! ”

Zong Ze's sound shook in all directions, the words were sonorous and powerful, everyone was all jīng, the voice should be harmonious, and in an instant, the momentum was so great that it rushed straight to the distance of nine days, and it reverberated not long after.

The 3,000-strong death squad has been formed. When the rì dispersed, Deng Yun and Yang Zaixing agreed to arrange the positions one by one. When they arrived, they began to make separate sections. In the morning, the teams of cavalry, guns, swords, shields, and bows and crossbows practiced cāo, and in the afternoon, they practiced formations. These young men have all the skills and high morale, and they have trained these flamboyant and untamed strong men to be obedient and obedient, and they all obey their orders.

At the same time, these people either grow strong and strong, or they have some martial arts foundations, plus the previous rìzi, they have all started their military life, and they have been disciplined and have grown very fast. After about a dozen rì, the whole team was forbidden, the queue was neat, and everyone was in accordance with the line, even Zong Ze was amazed when he saw it, and praised Deng Yun and other soldiers for their talent in training.

But he said that before he knew it, he was about to reach the march. This night, Zong Ze specially summoned Deng Yun and Yang Zaixing to come to the tent to discuss. After a while, Deng Yun and Yang Zaixing entered the account together, and after the salute, they heard Zong Ze say: "There are no outsiders here, and there is no need to be too restrained." Thinking that the two virtuous nephews are about to set off, there are some things that the old man must explain. ”

Deng Yun and Yang Zaixing glanced at each other, and hurriedly replied together: "I'm willing to listen to the general's orders!" ”

Hearing this, Zong Ze bowed slightly, his face was a little heavy, and said: "You are both geniuses in the world, and there are Xu Qing's little brothers, and the three thousand soldiers of the death squad are also all heroic. You wait to go, but the old man's worries are not external enemies, but those Jiān people and ministers inside. Tong Guan, an old thief, has no ability to lead troops to fight, but there are a lot of tricks! What's more, Yun'er, you also killed two celebrities around him, so I'm afraid that Li Bin's death will also be counted on your head. If he doesn't measure his identity and wants to deal with you, this trip is bound to die for life, and you will die at the hands of your own family before you have not fought with the enemy!

Fortunately, the old man had contacted an acquaintance earlier and taught him to take care of him secretly, although this person's military rank is not high, but he is a rare genius in a hundred years. He has a very high prestige in the army, how can he be born poor, he is an upright person, and he once offended the old thief Tong Guan, so his career is not smooth, and he has not been reused! ”

Zong Ze said, couldn't help but pause, and sighed. In the Central Plains, there has never been a shortage of heroes. I think that now, if it weren't for Zhao Ji's favor and persuasion, persecution and oppression of so many loyal heroes, how could the Great Song Dynasty end up in such a field!

"The person the general said, but Han Shizhong, who was called the first among the people by the Western Xia people!?" When Yang Zaixing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked quickly. Zong Ze smiled indifferently, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Do you know him as a nephew? ”

"This person is a hero of the world, the high level of martial arts, can be called the best in the world, the most rare is that he became famous in one fell swoop before he was twenty years old, and he is really a model for my generation!! I know all about his deeds! Yang Zaixing was very excited, and his eyes were full of hot light.

Deng Yun was even more frightened, and he was stunned for a while. Zong Ze silently looked at the expressions of the two, smiled even more, and said to Yang Zaixing: "If this is the case, you might as well listen to it." ”

Speaking of the hero in his heart, Yang Zaixing's heart couldn't help but sink, and after being shocked, he said in a condensed voice: "But it is said that this Han Shizhong was originally born in a poor family, and both parents are farmers. It's just that he has great ambitions since he was a child, and he has natural divine powers, and he heard that he can lift two hundred catties of stone mills with one arm when he was young. Later, he was instructed by a strange person, so he began to practice martial arts, and obtained a strange book on the art of war, and was well versed in the art of war.

When he grew up, although he had extraordinary skills, he did not admire fame, but acted chivalrous and righteous in the township. When some people saw him like this, they thought that he was wasted, so they persuaded him to serve the country as a soldier. So he went to join the army with enthusiasm, and I heard that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old that year.

Later, Han Shizhong's unit was stationed in the northwest region and often clashed with the Western Xia army. Soon after Han Shizhong joined the army, he began to show his edge, and he was at the forefront of every battle, brave and brave, and killed those Western Xia people to the point of fear. Soon he was promoted to squad leader, in charge of only a dozen people. Although he was a small official, he was cautious and responsible, and the soldiers under his command were all older than him. However, he fought bravely, always bore the brunt of the attack, acted fairly and decently, and spoke honestly, so both his superiors and corporals respected him very much.

Besides, in that year, my Great Song Dynasty attacked the Western Xia, and at that time hit a solid city, because of the dangerous terrain, the Western Xia army could not defend it. Therefore, our Great Song army could not be attacked for a long time. The imperial court suspected that the front-line army was not fighting effectively, and urged it again and again. Just when the whole army was nervous, Han Shizhong turned the tide like a heavenly soldier and a god general, I heard that he was fighting alone in front at that time, invincible, and then he climbed the ladder alone, climbed the wall and rushed to the head of the city, killed dozens of people in a row, killed the enemy tower in the city, killed the Naxi Xia guard on the spot, and then threw his head out of the city. The army under the city, therefore, was greatly encouraged, and rushed up, the Western Xia people were all afraid, and the generals were killed, and the square inch was in chaos, and soon our army captured the city. Han Shizhong also became famous because of this battle, and was called the first among the people by the Western Xia people.

After that, the commander of our Song army drove straight in, and the king of Western Xia at that time sent the supervisor army to lead the Xia army to counterattack the Song army. I heard that the supervising army of Naxi Xia had learned the art of war in the Central Plains, and he was strict in governing the army, and he did have some skills, and he won battles. Our Song army saw that the Xixia people had become mourning soldiers, and they fought back desperately, and they were all afraid.

Han Shizhong was not afraid, and immediately asked his superiors for his life, and led a few soldiers who dared to die, risking death to rush forward, no one could stop him, I heard that Han Shizhong at that time was really like Lu Fengxian descended into the world, flying spears and horses, and rushed into the enemy formation. When the Tangut people heard his name, they were all alarmed. Han Shizhong smashed the Yellow Dragon all the way and went straight to the marshal's tent, before the Xixia guards around him understood, the bow and crossbow were too late to release, so Han Shizhong jumped his horse and flew to the front of the Xixia Prison Army, and stabbed him to death with a shot in the middle of the door. The Western Xia soldiers were leaderless, so there was a big chaos, and our Song army took the opportunity to kill them on a large scale, which frightened the Western Xia soldiers to throw away their armor and rush to escape. After this battle, the generals and colonels in the Song army all praised Han Shizhong's bravery, and they all thought that although he was young, he was a rare tiger general. What is hateful is that the big Jiān thief Tong Guan, who was in charge of the border affairs at that time, suspected that the report was false, and only promoted Han Shizhong to a military rank, which is really hateful!!

After the destruction of the Western Xia, Han Shizhong seemed to have offended the villain, so he rarely heard of him. ”

Yang Zaixing spoke eloquently, sometimes excited, sometimes indignant, and at the end his face was full of regret, especially lonely and sighed.

"Tong Guan, this old thief, is really hateful, if there is no black sheep, so that those heroes with high skills will not have a way, how can the Great Song Dynasty become so cowardly and let foreign enemies bully!!" After listening to the deeds, Deng Yun knew a little more about Han Shizhong, and couldn't help but be full of indignation, gritting his teeth and shouting.

"Huh. Now in troubled times, Jiān ministers are in charge. The disaster of the imperial court, how can it be caused by Tong Guan overnight? Even without him, someone else will take his place. If you want to dig deeper into this matter, it will cause a catastrophe of death, not to mention!

Brother Han has the talent of the world, and he is also honest and loyal, you will have him to take care of you, and the old man will rest assured. Also, just in case, the old man has prepared the armament for you. Originally, this was supposed to be the responsibility of the military officer there. But the old man knows that none of the old thieves are loyal, they are all jiān villains, I don't know how much has been deducted in secret, even if there are still left, I am afraid they are all broken armor. On the battlefield, equipment is the second life of the army, and it must not be sloppy. ”

Deng and Yang were very grateful. Deng Yun thought for a while, suddenly frowned, and said: "I am waiting for this army of soldiers and horses, there are a lot of people, and if they are all equipped, I am afraid that the general will also be embarrassed." It is supposed to be equipped from there, so we should return it all. ”

"Huh. You're a kid who thinks about the old man. You don't have to worry about that, because when your men came, they brought a lot of armaments. At the same time, you and Yang Leopard annihilated several bandits and horse thieves, and gained a lot from there. The old man just ordered someone to do a little processing, and made up some more for you, and he just had it all raised. Zong Ze smiled brightly, and Deng and Yang were willing to accept it after hearing it.

After the three talked for a while, Zong Ze ordered Yang Zaixing to go first. Yang Zaixing knew that Zongze still had something to explain to Deng Yun, so he didn't stay, and said goodbye and retreated. Not long after Yang Zaixing left, Zong Ze's face was shocked, his eyes were sharp, and he asked, "You kid, how long do you want to hide your teacher's letter of recommendation!?" Why don't you get it soon!? ”

When Deng Yun heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that this must be Yang Zaixing's secret accusation, and after confessing, he hurriedly took out the recommendation letter that had been placed close to him and handed it to Zong Ze. Zong Ze glared, took it, and pretended to be angry: "The old man knows that you don't want to lose the face of your teacher, and when you have made meritorious achievements and become famous, he will hand over the letter to the old man." Being a man with backbone is indeed good! But what if there are other instructions in this letter!? ”

When Deng Yun heard this, his face changed, and he suddenly woke up and thought of this possibility. After all, his own mentor worked hard all his life on state affairs, and he had a unique vision, and he didn't have the strength to write a second letter before he died, so he wrote his dying words to Zong Ze in the same letter, which is also very possible.

"The little nephew is not thoughtful enough, and I hope the general will not be blamed." Deng Yun hurriedly confessed again. Zong Zeshen sank, waved his hand lightly and said, "How can the old man keep such a trivial matter in mind." Okay, you're going to set off in two days, it's not too early, you go back first, raise the jīng god, prepare everything you need to prepare tomorrow, and then give your teacher and old man a good face!! ”

Deng Yun's heart tightened, and he agreed to it, so he bowed and retreated. The moonlight outside was swaying, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in darkness, and the stars were shining brightly, twinkling and twinkling. Or because he was about to go to the frontier and rush to the distance, Deng Yun was particularly homesick at the moment, and while walking, his mind kept turning one figure after another, including his parents, Hongying, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and the brothers Niu Gao and Liang Xing on Daxing Mountain.

"It's a long road, but fortunately I'm not alone along the way." Deng Yun muttered, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he heard someone shouting not far away, and when he looked around, it was Huo Rui's big voice, and beside him were Yang Zaixing, Xu Qing and other brothers.
