Chapter Seventy-One: The Old Man (Part II)
The northwest border of the Great Jin Dynasty is divided into two parts, Liangzhou and Yongzhou, Liangzhou is out of front, Yongzhou is the backing, and plays the role of connecting the two major battlefields of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, in wartime, Yongzhou mainly provides logistical support for Liangzhou, but Yongzhou also faces the threat of the Hu people in the north, Nanping, Beiwu, The three counties of Eastern Xia are the focus of defense, unlike Liangzhou, the defense of Yongzhou is relatively easy, and the Muus Desert north of the three counties is a natural defensive barrier, and the Hu people cannot attack through this desert at all, which is also the main reason why Liangzhou and Bingzhou have become the main battlefield of anti-Hu.
The Hu clan can't come over, it doesn't mean that a small group of horse thieves can't come, for several years, just like the Western Regions trade road, the border of the three counties is also rampant with horse thieves, the main task of the Yongzhou border army is to exterminate the horse thieves, and the rhino Feng is to stand out in the battle to exterminate the horse thieves, attract the attention of the King of Qin and then be transferred to the Eagle Lingwei.
"It's you, I didn't think that you could make such a large-scale trading company as Hanhai Trading Company, I heard that Qiuyun also asked you to send grain to the Tuoba tribe, and you can now be said to be rich and rival the country. ”
"It's serious, it's serious," Liu Han hurriedly distinguished, this matter can't be recognized, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future: "I'm just helping to deliver grain, and the grain is still bought by the Tuoba tribe themselves, of course, the freight is charged less as appropriate." ”
"Oh, that's right!" Rhino Feng seemed to be a little surprised, Liu Han frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "According to the itinerary, General Qiuyun should also go to Chang'an, if you don't believe it, you can ask." ”
"General Qiu won't come to Chang'an," Xi Feng said: "At this time, he doesn't dare to go to Chang'an, and even if he goes to Chang'an, King Qin won't see him." ”
Liu Han thought about it for a while and understood that in this sensitive period, if these two people meet, if Emperor Taiding has nothing to do, if there is something, the charge of colluding with a border general by a vassal king can be deducted from the two of them, and then there will be no recovery.
From meeting to now, both of them are nostalgic, in other words, that is, they are exploring the bottom, neither of them simply trusts each other, more than ten years have passed, they have changed a lot, Liu Han is no longer the struggling fugitive, and Xi Feng is not the hot-blooded young man who has just left the school.
"How did you escape? I searched for you for months but couldn't find you, and I wanted to pull you into the army. ”
There was a bit of regret in Xi Feng's tone, if the two of them joined the army together, the killer would not dare to chase them to the barracks.
But he was wrong, Liu Han knew, let alone the barracks, if that person wanted him to die, even if he hid in the palace, that person still had a way to kill him, he smiled bitterly: "How to say it? Simply put, cheat to death, and then spend half a year in the mountains drinking blood." ”
Rhino Feng was a little moved, Zhou Nanshan was deserted, and legend has it that there are fierce beasts infested, even if the best hunter goes in, it is a life of nine deaths, Liu Han can actually stay in it for half a year, this tenacity, courage, beyond ordinary people. But when I think about it, the danger I faced back then, the killer's acuity, I'm afraid that only such a desperate plan can be hidden.
Liu Han's expression seemed to be reminiscing, recalling the danger of being chased and killed back then, several times he thought that he was dead, and several times he escaped by chance, and the shadow of death always hung over his head, so he stayed on Zhou Nanshan for half a year, in fact, three months later, there were signs that the opponent had left, but he still stayed in the mountain for half a year, and when his injuries were all recovered, he went out of Zhou Nanshan and went into exile in the Western Regions.
"I don't know why they hunted you down in the first place, and you offended the clan?"
When Xi Feng was a fledgling and enthusiastic, he met the injured Liu Han on the road, so he drew a knife to help, and he didn't even ask why. As everyone knows, this is also what Liu Han wonders.
When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, such people have in this era, and there are many, but like Xi Feng, he draws a knife to help without asking anything, but it is still rare.
"Why did you help me back then?" Liu Han asked rhetorically.
Xi Feng smiled, Liu Han was also smiling, Xi Feng took out the altar of wine from the side and poured it for Liu Han, Liu Han had already seen the jar of wine, and at this time he didn't care about it, he picked up the wine glass, and a fragrant aroma came to his face.
Liu Han took a deep breath as if intoxicated, closed his eyes as if savoring, and then drank it all, put down the wine glass and went to grab the wine jar: "Good wine! Good wine! What kind of wine is this? This is much better than Liulin wine." ”
Seeing that he reacted so strongly, Xi Feng smiled slightly, and let him take the wine jar away, before he smiled and said: "This is imperial wine, Your Highness rewarded it, I have always been reluctant to drink it, I came to see you today, so I brought it." ”
"Imperial wine?!" Liu Han seemed to be a little surprised, and drank three glasses in a row before he put down the wine glass with satisfaction, and his mouth still smacked the aftertaste, and then said: "Sure enough, the things in the palace are all good things, and this wine is much stronger than Liulin wine." ”
"You are still blessed, Li Congke has thought about it for a long time, and I have said it a few times, but I have not been reluctant. ”
"Li Onion, your friend?"
Xi Feng nodded: "Like you, my friend who changed his life, he went to the border army two months before me, and we were in the same team, one for training, one for patrolling, one for horse thieves, and one for Eagle Lingwei." ”
"Li Cong, is it from the Guanlong Li family?" asked Liu Han with a smile.
Xi Feng smiled contemptuously: "There are a few children of the Shi clan who are plugged on the top, and they are famous with one knife at a time, and there are a few autumn songs in this Great Jin." ”
Liu Han has some understanding of the army formation, the military establishment of the countries in the Western Regions is similar to that of the Great Jin, however, he still asked boldly, and Xi Feng did not hide it, he served as the commander of the army when he arrived in the army, and the commander of the army commanded five people, the fourth army is what, the chief is set up, the fifth is the team, the team is set up, the five hundred are the battalion, the camp is positive, and the battalion is above the army, the establishment of the army is uncertain, and two battalions, three battalions and four battalions are possible.
Seeing that Liu Han was very curious, Xi Feng explained in detail the military establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, Wu Chang Shi Chang, such a low-level officer has no rank, and the team and the battalion are officials, the team is equivalent to the county official, and the battalion is equivalent to the county official. Above the battalion, it is a temporary formation, called a colonel, and the commander is a lieutenant.
"You are now a lieutenant, how many battalions can you command?" Liu Han still maintained a curious expression, and seemed to be very envious.
Xi Feng smiled and shook his head: "The Eagle Feather Guard is formed by the strong men in the army, the whole army has three battalions, 1,500 people, my captain is just a fake captain, and there is a captain above who is responsible for commanding the whole army." ”
"On my way back to the Great Jin Dynasty, I met the Black Panther led by Qiu Ge, and I heard that the Black Panther is the first iron horse of the Great Jin Dynasty, how does the Eagle Lingwei compare to the Black Panther?" Liu Han continued to ask.
Xi Feng smiled: "Qiu Ge became famous at a young age, and now he has broken through the realm of grandmasters, and it is rare among the disciples of the gate valve. ”
Liu Han also smiled slightly, knowing in his heart that Xi Feng did not think that the Eagle Feather Guard under his command was inferior to the Black Panther, but he valued Qiu Ge very much. Liu Han also knew that the commander of the Eagle Lingwei, Han Yu Naishi, was born with the title of captain, although this person was nominally the captain of the Eagle Lingwei, but in fact he didn't care about anything, whether it was daily training or unified army operations, it was the fake captain of Xi Feng who was in charge. The fake captain is not a fake captain, but a deputy captain, that is to say, Xi Feng is Han Yu's deputy.
Speaking of this, Xi Feng sighed, there was a little loss in his expression, and Liu Han frowned slightly: "What?"
Xi Feng sighed softly: "It's okay, Brother Liu, should I call you Brother Liu or... ”
Liu Han smiled: "My name is Liu Han now, and the two of us can know about the past, and don't tell others." ”
"That's nature. Xi Feng knew the power of this, and agreed unequivocally: "Brother Liu, I see your cultivation as a great progress, what happened back then... ?”
Liu Han looked at the river, the boat in the river, bumped in the waves, the osprey flew high and swooped from time to time, the fisherman stood at the bow of the boat, and threw out the fishing net, the fishing net spread out in the air, he took a deep breath of the damp air, closed his eyes with satisfaction, seemed to be reminiscing, and seemed to be intoxicated, half a ring he replied quietly: "This is really a good place, the eagle strikes the sky, the fish soars shallow bottom, I heard that the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is better, alas, if it were not for the things of the year, I would go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy a few acres of land, and after a while, I will see the life of Nanshan leisurely under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums." ”
Speaking of this, he retracted his gaze, looked at Xi Feng Zhengse, and said: "When I came back this time, I was trying to make a decision about what happened back then, Brother Xi, although I have made great progress in cultivation, but in the past ten years, others will not be empty." ”
Xi Feng hesitated, nodded slightly, and agreed with Liu Han's judgment, in the past ten years, his cultivation has also made great progress, but what about that person? He will never be idle, he was stronger than them back then, and after ten years, that person's cultivation is only afraid that it will be stronger.
"Why did he kill you back then?" asked Xi Feng, who he also asked back then, but Liu Han didn't answer.
Liu Han didn't answer, sighed softly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "Brother Rhino, you are now a member of the official family, don't mention the things of the past, between me and that person, there is no end to death." ”
