Night shrouded the earth. On the official road leading to Wuguan, Chenyue was galloping on a flying horse. He simply bandaged his wounds, but his mind was already a little blurry. If it weren't for the belief in living in his heart, he was

He, maybe he has fallen.

At this time, a group of cavalry came forward. When Chen Yue saw that it was the military uniform of the Zhou Dynasty, he relaxed, took out his number plate from his arms, and shouted loudly: "Scout camp, Wang Gui belongs to, cavalry Chen Yue!"

Before he finished speaking, the cavalry came to the front, and the leader asked: "We were sent by General Zhou to meet you, where are the others?"

Just as Chen Yue was about to answer, a feeling of powerlessness came over him, and he fell off his horse. The visitor hurriedly came down to help him: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I wanted to see General Zhou, but I was attacked and my whole team was wiped out!" After saying the last sentence, Chen Yue fainted.

The general had a horrified look on his face: "Quick, come and help him, two people, and go back to the camp immediately. I want to see the general!" He left as quickly as he came, and in the blink of an eye, the official road returned to calm.

Wuguancheng, General Zuo Dutong's Mansion

"Where am I?" Chenyue didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed. He was completely weak, but he could feel that his wounds had been treated.

"Young man, you finally woke up. This is the General's Mansion." Next to him, there was a man in his forties, dressed in casual clothes, with a solemn expression, not angry or intimidating, looking at him.

"General's Mansion? This person looks like a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time? Could it be Zhou Ruhai?" Chen Yue was thinking about it when the man spoke again: "You are a soldier who went on a mission with Wang Gui, right? I'm with you

I've been waiting for you by the bedside for a day. I heard that you wanted to see me before you fell into coma. Please tell me what happened."

"Are you General Zhou?" After confirming what he was thinking, Chen Yue suddenly wondered why a general was so concerned about the centurion's whereabouts. But then he remembered yesterday's tragic fight and the death of his comrades, and he felt a sense of sadness.

Come to mind.

"Yesterday we first ambushed a group of Yanrong barbarians in the dense forest, and then..." Chen Yue told the story of the incident carefully. Zhou Ruhai listened beside him, with no expression on his face. When he heard that Wang Gui had been killed,

, suddenly trembled all over and clenched his fists.

"This is how the whole thing happened. The captured information was placed in the lining of my clothes. The centurion told me that it must be handed over to you personally and cannot be told to anyone." After saying that, he pointed to the folded quilt.

Clothes on the side.

"I have seen the military doctor cleaning your wounds yesterday. You must keep this matter a secret. No matter who it is, they said that they did not seize anything and were just ambushed during an inspection." Zhou Ruhai paused and said, "Wang

Gui, Wang Gui, it was me who harmed you this time."

"General, what do you mean by this?" Chenyue asked in confusion.

"Well, I've been holding it in my heart for many years. Let me tell you today. Have you heard that Wang Gui has been in the army for many years and made a lot of achievements, but he has never climbed up and has only become a centurion today?

.”

"Yes, it is said that a certain superior took the credit. This bastard, how could there be such a person in the military camp!" Chen Yue said angrily.

"Haha, that person is me." Zhou Ruhai laughed. Chenyue was stunned.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, Wang Gui and I joined the army together. We were good brothers. Later, my sister married him. The two of us loved each other very much. Although we were together less and separated more, our lives were fine. But there were times when

Once when Wang Gui went home to visit relatives, the couple encountered horse bandits on the road. My sister died tragically, and Wang Gui returned home seriously injured. From then on, I hated him and hated him for not protecting my sister. He also felt deeply guilty.

, every time he made any achievements, he took the initiative to give it to me. In fact, it was not that he didn’t want to be an official. Maybe this was his way of compensating my sister. In this way, I was promoted faster than him at the beginning, and later I was eliminated.

The horse bandits near Wuguan have accumulated a lot of military merits before they got to where they are today. Wang Gui has always been a centurion. After so many years, I actually don’t hate him anymore. Originally, I thought this mission was foolproof, so I sent him

He went so that he could take the opportunity to promote him when he came back. I didn't expect something like this to happen, alas!" Zhou Ruhai sighed, walked to the window, looked out of the window, and stopped talking.

Chenyue also looked at the figure quietly. The general who was originally galloping on the battlefield looked particularly sad at this moment.

Zhou Ruhai was appointed as the left commander of the Wuguan Cavalry Army. In fact, this was not a real imperial official position. In fact, it should be called the fourth rank of the Wuguan Cavalry Army. Wuguan is an important pass within the jurisdiction of Liangzhou and a border settlement.

In military areas, there are many troops stationed there, and the total number of infantry and cavalry can be several Xuanfu envoys. It is easy to confuse the title of Xuanfu envoys, so over time, the official titles no longer refer to the official positions of the imperial court, and are all called Zhou Dutong. The Wuguan cavalry army is divided into

The left and right armies have 10,000 men each. The people who lead the army are divided into left and right commanders. The infantry is also divided into left and right armies, each with 15,000 men. There are also two commanders on the left and right. These 50,000 people are the field battle of Wuguan.

There are also some city defense and security forces, but their combat effectiveness is not strong, and most of them are soldiers who have never fought in a war.

Zhou Ruhai was silent for a long time, then slowly turned around: "For the time being, you can be my personal soldier. There may be a traitor involved in the intelligence matter. It is safer for you to stay with me now. Besides, since Wang Gui chose to let you come out alive, it proves that you

He still has two brushes, so I will do him one last favor. If you have the ability, prove it to me, and you will definitely be a higher official than him in the future." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Okay, but I have a condition. Whenever I have the opportunity to kill that man in fine clothes to avenge his death, you must let me do it myself!" Chen Yue shouted.

Zhou Ruhai, who had already stepped out of the door with one foot, paused, nodded, and then disappeared out the door.

"Tou, I won't embarrass you!" At this moment, Chen Yue's eyes became more determined and fierce.

After resting for a few days, Chen Yue's body finally recovered more than half. Fortunately, it was all skin trauma, and he was in good health, so he recovered very quickly. Chen Yue started to get out of bed and move around, and went to the yard to get into a horse stance. No,

After a while, Zhou Ruhai came to the yard and took a look with interest: "You are young after all. It didn't take long for you to be lively again. If you feel that your body is almost recovered, go to see Shi Hui, the captain of the Guards, later."

, go and get familiar with the affairs of the guards."

"promise!"

After exercising for a while and having a meal, Chen Yue came to the barracks and found Shi Hui, explaining his purpose of coming.

"It's you. I remember you. I was the one who picked you up outside Wuguan that day. At that time, General Zhou sent me out in a hurry. It's a pity. Wang Gui is a good man. How are you? Your body has recovered.

That's it?" Shi Hui looked honest and honest, and his body was very strong. Chen Yue looked him up and down and thought to himself: He is probably a rough and tumble man, otherwise why would General Zhou appoint him as a personal soldier school captain?

"I would also like to thank you for your life-saving grace. If you hadn't saved me, I would be on the road to hell now." Chenyue replied, it was actually too dark that day, so how could he remember what the person who picked him up looked like.

"You're welcome. From now on, we will be brothers who live and die together. Come and sit down. I will tell you about the tasks of private soldiers. We are different from ordinary soldiers." Shi Hui pointed to the chair beside him. Chen Yue nodded and sat down.

After joining the army, he has actually been training with the new recruits. It was not until a while ago that he was assigned to go on a mission under Wang Gui. He had never been in contact with the private soldiers, so he was also curious about what the private soldiers did.

Shi Hui cleared his throat: "In peacetime, the personal soldiers are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the general himself and the general's residence, delivering important news, and escorting the general when he is out. There are a total of 500 people in our personal camp, and most of them stay with the general every day.

The general's palace is always ready to be dispatched, with all cavalry and some war horses placed in the camp. After all, the general's palace cannot accommodate so many war horses. In peacetime, it is enough to maintain patrols in the general's palace, but there should be no unscrupulous people who would enter the general's palace to cause trouble. But in wartime,

All the soldiers must be dispatched, and they must always follow the general on the battlefield. We can die, and the general can die, but we must die before the general. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, if the general dies in battle, all the soldiers will be killed!

"

Chenyue was shocked when he heard this. We really share life and death!

"General Zhou is kind to people and gives some rewards from time to time, so our life is much easier than that of ordinary soldiers, and we are less likely to have our military pay deducted. General Zhou has told you that you don't need to patrol in peacetime, just be a personal bodyguard."

Yes, I heard that you were in danger this time and killed several barbarians. Your skills should be pretty good. You are young, so you can’t tell. But there is one thing: military orders are as high as mountains, and you must not interfere with them. All you need to do is obey the general’s orders.

, No need to ask why! Remember it!" Shi Hui warned in a serious tone, worried that Chen Yue would be exposed to soldiers for the first time and that he would not understand the rules.
