Chapter 1272: The Newborn Calf
Hui Meng patted the wooden box in front of him, without the intention of opening it, and said, "Lord Yang is very important to you." ”
The box contained a flag, the "Xiao" battle flag given to Jiang Xiong by Lord Yangfeng, the commander of the Northern Defense Region.
Jiang Xiong unconsciously touched the brand-new armor on his body with both hands, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Do you want to return it to your subordinates?"
"Hahaha, silly boy, can this be returned!" Hui Meng pressed the wound on his chest and smiled a little reluctantly, "I don't blame you, why should the boss reward be excused, and he can't be excused."
This is the "Xiao" word flag, and your record is worthy of the word "brave", but the brave crown of the three armies, the "brave" word flag and even high honor, given to you will be accompanied by huge pressure, it is easy to become a kill, to the "Xiao" word flag is to protect you.
But I don't understand what Commander Sheep likes about you, the ambush battle is beautiful but also very dangerous, if it weren't for the friendly forces coming in time, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to eat the tens of thousands of enemy troops. Lord Yang's mind is really not something that ordinary people can understand. ”
"Your Excellency is right, how can the position of commander be deserved by ordinary people, if Lord Yang's mind is easy to guess, our army would have been defeated. Jiang Xiong also smiled, smiling happily, and his big white teeth were exposed.
"Hehe, ahem, you don't understand. Hui Meng still touched the wound, "Lord Yang is quite controversial in the army, if other commanders appreciate you, I will definitely persuade you to take refuge, he," he wanted to speak and stopped, "You better stay by my side for experience, and you can make a name for yourself after learning the skills." ”
Jiang Xiong heard something, and asked suspiciously: "The subordinates see that the sheep is extraordinary, and one hand can reach the whole body of his subordinates, and he has clear rewards and punishments, and his subordinates refused his solicitation, and he didn't take it to heart." ”
"Hahaha, cough cough, the old commander Ding didn't see through Lord Yang back then, what are you capable of a hairy boy?"
"Adults beware, subordinates are stupid, and they hurt adults and hurt their jokes and wounds. Jiang Xiong looked at Hui Meng with concern.
"You're not stupid at all!" Hui Meng clutched his chest and took a few deep breaths, "This injury is nothing, it's just an honor given to me by a traitor."
In fact, most of the people in the army know that only you newcomers don't understand, Lord Yang has a disgraceful history, and he only has today's status by betraying his boss, but it's a pity that Commander Ding Lao. ”
"The old commander you are talking about is the last protector?"
Hui Meng's eyes flashed with surprise: "You also know the Protector?"
It is not unusual for a veteran to know, and the fact that this seventeen-year-old recruit, who was urgently called into the army, knows proves that he has a little knowledge.
"The subordinates heard that the old protector of the country committed suicide by poisoning because he intended to assist the eldest prince of the previous dynasty in his rebellion, and finally the conspiracy was revealed. ”
"Shut up!" The smile on the corner of Hui Meng's mouth suddenly disappeared, and his expression became serious, "Where did you hear this?
Jiang Xiong was very calm and replied: "Don't get me wrong, my subordinates heard about it when they were young, and it wasn't the most recent thing. ”
"I don't care if your family or anyone else has a grudge against the Ding family, but in this army, you must not slander Commander Ding, and don't talk nonsense about those things that catch wind and shadows. Hui Meng suddenly discovered that Jiang Xiong was not an ordinary country boy.
How can people in small villages and towns hear the gossip in the capital, and it is a rumor about the ministerial-level minister Marquis Yipin, which is different from the news announced by the imperial court back then, which is not something that ordinary people can hear.
"The subordinates are ordinary people, where can they have grievances with the Hou family of the protector, but the elders have mentioned it in the casual conversation, and it may be that the subordinates have heard it wrong.
Isn't the Hou family in decline?Why do you still have such influence in the army?" Jiang Xiong avoided Hui Meng's gaze and did not look at him.
"You must have heard it wrong! And it's outrageously wrong!"
Hui Meng puffed up his chest and said: "Because the Ding family has not produced a single breed for thousands of years since the founding of the country!
Turning over the military history of the kingdom, there are deeds of the Ding family in every centennial book, and the bones of the martyrs who died in the battle for the country can be built into the outer wall of a city.
Several times in the country, only the children of the Ding family have served in all the legions, and their footprints have traveled all over the north and south of the Xijiang River, and they have traveled all over the borders of the kingdom.
A person's martial arts are insignificant, and the martial arts of hundreds of generations of a family can forge the soul of the army, how can any officers and soldiers in the army not aspire to join the Eighth Legion?
Commander Ding Lao, the brave commander of the Megatron Continent, fought all the three kingdoms of Jiangdong, no one dared to plunder him, and he was fair and honest in charge of the General Staff, so that no one had any complaints.
Let's ask such a family, such a person, who does not worship it? Who does not respect it? No matter whether the Ding family is in decline or not, it is not allowed to be blasphemed.
Besides, who won the military might of the 21 st Army Corps? Little Marquis Ding Kui! Although you are brave, you are still far from his combat record. ”
Jiang Xiong was very unconvinced when he heard this, and said: "Ding Kui's subordinates know that when they first ascended the battle formation, they led a squadron to defeat more than 500 cavalry scouts, and their subordinates thought that they were not much worse. ”
Hui Meng glanced at Jiang Xiong meaningfully, and said: "I don't mean to belittle you, in terms of the first battle, your bravery is not inferior to Ding Kui, and you are not much worse in terms of strategy, but your command ability is far from the same.
Xiao Hou Ye won the first battle with zero casualties, and there are few such records in military history, and in the subsequent series of records, the troops under his command can always maintain a low battle loss rate, and how many people can be compared with the whole army?
To put it mildly, don't say that you are not as good as the little marquis even as good as me and Lord Yang in this regard, and you still have personal strength, he is now a master knight, can you be promoted to master when you are in your twenties?"
The more Jiang Xiong listened, the heavier his breath became, and in the end, his chest rose and fell.
"The subordinates are at a loss in their age, and they don't have such a good family tradition, and they don't have enough battlefield experience, but their subordinates are still young, as long as they step up their training and study, they may not lose to him in the future. He seemed to care about comparing himself to Ding Kui.
"It's good that you have this heart, I look forward to a rookie in the army who is better than the little marquis, your starting point is not lower than the little marquis, he was just a squadron leader back then, you are now a captain, the number of subordinates is ten times that of him, and the place in front of him is far inferior to the Jiangdong Three Kingdoms, I am waiting for you to play a triumphant song." ”
In the final analysis, Hui Meng still cherishes this subordinate, who is brave and resourceful and not bound by factions in the army, as a pure soldier, he is expected to leave a strong mark in military history.
......
Outside the east gate of Yanling County, it has been very lively recently, and a group of people from Nanqiu County have set up a stage, and there are performances for everyone to watch for free every day after dinner.
At first, no one noticed them, but the handsome men and beauties on the stage did not give up, and no matter how many people in the audience performed hard, they gradually attracted many onlookers.
On this day, the weather was sunny, the earth warmed up after the sunshine, the outdoor temperature no longer prevented people from going out, and many people came to the east gate to prepare to watch the performance.
Many people gathered in front of the stage, and it became very crowded, and the stools that had been placed in the center area were thrown aside by someone.
Ding Zhong stood silently in a dark corner, his eyes wandering through the crowd.
"Why did Xiao Zhong go?" asked Ruan Xingzhu.
Qianyou replied: "He just said, 'There is a problem!' and ran out." ”
The two of them were in a thatched hut, which was temporarily rented by Ruan Jizong, specially for Ruan Xingzhu's team to settle down, and now they are the only ones left in the thatched hut, and everyone else has gone out.
Ruan Xingzhu's team has people taking turns guarding the hut every day, secretly protecting the stage not far away, and today it is the turn of Ding Zhong and Qianyou.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say that there was a trace of the Heavenly Soldiers in the west of the city?" asked Qianyou rhetorically.
"I was halfway through and suddenly felt uneasy, so I asked Shao Dianfei and the people from the Spy Department to go over there, and I came here to have a look. Ruan Xingzhu leaned out his spiritual power and observed the situation near the stage.
"Why do you and Xiao Zhong think there's a problem? I don't feel it at all. "Qianyou was very envious of the hunch of a sixth-level combat power, but he didn't know why Ding Zhong had it.
"Xiao Zhong has experience in this area, his feeling will not be wrong, I will stare first, you take a rest. "Ruan Xingzhu respects every senior brother, including Qianyou.
In fact, her strength has ranked third under Rongci, and she is valued by Guijing Shizu, and her achievements are expected to surpass Rongci in the future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the second person in Shenkong Gate today.
"This play hasn't been staged yet, nothing will happen, right?" Qianyou was embarrassed to be lazy and also proclaimed his mental power.
But at this time, something happened.
"Someone's dead!
There was a sudden chaos in front of the stage, and many people immediately ran away without knowing the situation, and with a hula, a vacant space was vacated in the originally crowded place.
I saw someone fall to the ground, surrounded by several people, two of whom cried and shouted: "Daddy, you died so miserably!
"What's going on?"
"The play hasn't been staged yet, why is this dead?"
"I just saw someone running from there to the back of the stage. ”
"How did the man die?"
"Who's crying? It looks like a family. ”
“......”
The people next to him were talking.
Someone with good deeds came forward to inquire, and it turned out that lying on the ground was an old man, a resident of the city, and the two people who were crying were the son and daughter of the old man.
"What about the person in charge of the troupe, why don't you come out to take a look?" "I heard that the owner of the troupe is a beautiful woman. "Really? Call it out and take a look. "The person in charge is out!"
Seeing that it was an old man who had fallen, there was no blood on the ground, and there was no murderer next to him, the crowd of onlookers began to pluck up, and some people inevitably followed the noise.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! what's going on here?" said two officers dressed in patrol uniforms as they pushed away the crowd.
They walked to the place where the man was lying down, and the man who was crying suddenly threw himself in front of them, "The lord of the official family, please make the decision for Xiaomin! Someone in this troupe assassinated my father!"
"Woooooooo
"Is there such a thing? Lao Ou, do you check the people on the ground, what about the people in the theater troupe?
