"We brothers are from Shanggu. We heard that Jixian County is prosperous here, so we came here to open our eyes without telling my family. I didn't expect that the barbarians here are so cruel. Thanks to the general, who came in time, otherwise, my two brothers would have been killed.
You must die!" After all, Xu Dayan had seen more of the world than Li Xu, so he pulled Li Xu forward a few steps and bowed his hands in a salute.
"Thank you, General, for coming in time and rescuing my two brothers!" Li Xu's voice suddenly became stuttering, either because he was frightened or because he was cautious.
"My brother has always been timid, General, don't blame him. I don't know who my savior is named by, and under whose account he has performed meritorious service?!" Xu Dayan spoke to the general, but kept silent to his benefactor, but refused to reveal the identities of himself and Li Xu.
.
The officer was also an open-minded man. Seeing that Xu Dayan carefully hid his identity, he stopped asking. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "What kind of general am I? I'm just an old soldier in Luo Gong's account. My surname is Bu. Your name is Bu."
I’ll just give you an old step. In my opinion, this brother of yours is quite courageous. With a scimitar on his neck, he still dares to risk his life to save you!"
Saying this made Li Xu's face turn even redder. After scolding himself a few times, he finally plucked up the courage, raised his voice a little and said, "I'm not that brave. It's just for a moment.
He was just anxious and barbaric! He was an infantry general, and he shot down two scimitars with one shot, which is a rare feat!"
"This is a well-known infantry general. He once picked off more than 20 Khitan bandits with a single spear. How can two mere Hu'ers be opponents!" On the side of the road, the people who had recovered from the shock said in a hurry.
.
After hearing this, Li Xu and Xu Dayan admired the officer in front of them even more. They thanked each other for a long time, which made the officer surnamed Bu feel embarrassed. They separated the crowd with them and explained as they walked: "You guys
As soon as the two of them fought against the barbarians, I had already arrived. But I didn’t expect them to actually dare to commit murder on the street. That’s why I took action a little late. Don’t blame me!"
Xu and Li were stunned when they heard this, and then they showed frank smiles, "If I had known that the general was protecting him, I would have fought harder. Knock off the legs of two Hu men and see if they can survive."
Don’t you dare commit murder on the street again!”
"That's not pretty!" Officer Bu waved his hand, "Zhuo County is a frontier place, and the people are fierce. Fights in the streets happen from time to time, and as long as they don't hurt anyone or kill the other person, the government is happy to turn a blind eye.
Close one eye. But if someone is injured or files a complaint with the Yamen, the government will have to step in to deal with it. It will take a lot of time to go to trial. After the lawsuit is over, the two young brothers may not be able to enjoy themselves anymore.
It was messed up."
Li Xu and Xu Dayan are both smart people. How could they not hear the protective reminder in the words of the officer surnamed Bu? The two immediately saluted again and thanked General Bu for his righteousness. The officer surnamed Bu walked forward a few steps.
He stepped forward, looked back and saw that no one was following him, smiled, and said: "To be honest with you two, that Hu'er bullied people too much. If I were in the position of you two, I would rush up and beat you hard.
They stopped for a while. So, no need to say thank you, just get on your horse and I will take you out of the city so that no one in the area gets into trouble!"
The two young men mounted their horses as ordered, accompanied by the general named Bu and several of his followers, and walked slowly towards the outer city. Not far away, as expected, a local police officer carrying an iron ruler and chains rushed over with great fanfare. They saw an officer.
Here, the "warriors" did not dare to take the initiative to stir up trouble, so they collected the guys and hid quietly on the roadside.
"Is this still an official from the Sui Dynasty?" Even though Xu was a big-eyed person, he was so angry that he was trembling with anger when he saw the official put on such a show.
"They are also acting under orders. They don't dare to mess with the barbarians, so they have no choice but to bully their own people!" Officer Bu said with a wry smile, as if he was used to it.
"If I had known this, general, why not kill the two barbarians with one blow to save others from being harmed again!" Li Xu spat on the ground and cursed fiercely.
"It's easy to kill them, but I'm afraid I'll get Luo Gong into trouble!" Officer Bu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Doesn't it mean that General Luo Gong is so powerful that he dare not provoke a few Hu rogues?" Xu Dayan asked in surprise.
"What I'm afraid of is not these scoundrels, but the fear that someone will use this reason to start a border provocation. The Turks have always been eyeing the Central Plains, and the princes in the court don't know to be wary. Instead, they repeatedly tell the border generals not to cause trouble. Once the Turks are captured as their own people,
Even if the brothers beat him back, the people inside will not let my general go!" The officer surnamed Bu shook his head and sighed, and explained the complicated reasons to the two men in a low voice.
It turned out that General Luo Yi was stationed in Jixian at this time. This man's martial arts and strategy were among the best among the border generals. Coupled with the thousands of brothers under his command who shared life and death, the name of the Tiger Rider was enough to make children on the grassland dare not stay at night.
Cry. But this General Luo is good at everything, but he was not born into a wealthy family. Although he was promoted to general based on his martial arts, luck and the emperor's appreciation, in the eyes of the wealthy Huagon family for generations, he is still a soldier.
Ruffian. So in order to avoid being picked on for no reason, Luo Yi could only restrain his subordinates not to cause trouble for him.
"Gong Luo is really a great man!" After listening to the officer surnamed Bu's story, Xu Dayan raised his palms in admiration.
"Is Luo Gong really born in the military?" Li Xu's focus never seemed to be in the same place as Xu Dayan. He raised his head and asked expectantly.
"Gong Luo was just a pawn back then, and he gained fame by killing among the dead. Gong Luo has never concealed this from his brothers!" The officer surnamed Bu raised his head and said with admiration and pride: "Gong Luo once taught him a lesson.
Brothers, it is said that when breeding animals, you need the right breed and the right blood, so that you can produce good cubs. But people are not animals. To become a tiger or a jackal, it is all based on yourself!"
In an instant, the image of an unparalleled hero, riding a horse and waving his arms, appeared in Li Xu's heart. He felt his blood slowly heating up, and there seemed to be a fire in his chest, raging to spurt out from his throat.
"In the second year of Kaihuang's reign, the Turks saw that the Sui Dynasty had just established the country and the civil strife was still unsolved. They raised 400,000 troops to attack the pass. Wuwei (now part of Gansu), Jincheng (now Lanzhou), Tianshui, Yan'an and other places were robbed and turned into a scorched earth.
In three years, General Yang led 120,000 Sui young men to meet the enemy in seven groups, and just blocked the Turkic leader Shabolu Khan at Baidao (in the Hohhot area). At that time, all the soldiers and horses were not nearby, and the general's headquarters only had two
Ten thousand people and all the veteran generals suggested to evacuate, but the general refused to let down our army's majesty and led five thousand cavalry straight to Shabolue's main formation. My general was just a brigade commander at the time and was always at the forefront. There were tens of thousands of Turks.
The crossbows fired in unison, killing more than seventy of the general's one hundred brothers. My general changed two horses, and finally rushed forward and stabbed Sabolo in the butt with a knife. After a battle, the five of us
Thousands of brothers killed his 100,000 horsemen to a rout, and his corpses were lying for more than thirty miles!" The officer surnamed Bu had always admired his general, and when he heard the two young men praising Luo Yi, he was in a great mood. They made gestures,
Talking about Luo Yi’s heroic deeds since joining the army!
"General Yang, is the thousand-year-old King of Wei?" Xu Dayan and Li Xu asked in unison. King Yang Shuang of Wei was the idol of young people throughout the Sui Dynasty. Even a nerd like Li Xu who didn't hear anything outside the window,
I also admire this young general very much. He is the half-brother of the late emperor. He led the army at the age of fourteen and defeated all the Central Plains without any opponent. At the age of twenty, he conquered the Turks north and defeated 400,000 Turks with a weak force. At the age of twenty-four
Going out of the fortress again, the Turkic tribes were beaten to the point where they fled and did not dare to attack their troops.
"At that time, General Yang was only twenty years old, and my general was only seventeen years old!" The officer surnamed Bu did not mention the title, only the general. The expression on his face was one of pride and envy. "After withdrawing the troops and returning to the camp,
He was hit by so many arrows that he couldn't take off his armor! The general personally served him wine and ordered people to pull out the arrows. For every arrow he took, he gave him a cup of wine. After pulling out all the arrows, my general drank more than a fight and fell drunk.
I couldn’t afford it, I didn’t even cry out in pain from beginning to end!”
When a man in the army speaks, there are very few words of modification, but it sounds more exciting. That battle does not require too many literati to exaggerate. Emperor Wen Yang Jian won the country, and it was because of this battle that the people of the Central Plains recognized him.
The Sui Dynasty was over the head. It was also because of this battle that the barbarians outside the fortress gave up the idea of treating the border areas as pasture for their family's money and grain, and came in frequently to harvest grass and grain.
Li Xu and Xu Da were both at the age when they were most likely to be heartbroken by heroes, and they were fascinated by the war that year. A twenty-year-old coach, a seventeen-year-old general, an iron horse. If they had been under King Wei's account back then,
, among the people who rushed forward to poke Sha Bo Luo in the butt, I may not be the only one.
"Were the generals with Duke Luo at that time?" Li Xu couldn't hold back the passion in his heart and asked loudly.
The officer surnamed Bu smiled and shook his head. He looked at Li Xu's expectant eyes and explained: "I was born a few years late and didn't catch up. I get my fame on a horse. If I had been born five years earlier, I would definitely be able to hold the flag for Luo Gong!"
"General, it's not too late to raise the flag now!" Xu Dayan complimented with a smile.
The three of them got along very well and talked about it. They didn't say goodbye to each other until they were far away from the city. Li Xu looked at the back of the officer surnamed Bu, feeling both admiration and envy. The other party said it right, fame only lies on horses.
Take. Like Luo Yi, who comes from a humble background, can't he eventually become the world-famous General Huben? It's a pity that he is the only one under his parents' knees. Otherwise, if he joins the army and follows Luo Gong, he won't have to worry about not being able to stand out in the future.
day.
"This infantry general has reached the position of captain of the Tiger Cavalry at such a young age. I don't know whether he was born in Linfen Bujia or Luoyang Bujia!" Xu Dayan didn't know what material the exquisite heart was made of, and he was still excited just now.
He wished he could immediately join the army, and in the blink of an eye he began to calmly explore the family whose surname was the officer.
"What's the difference? Aren't they all surnamed Bu? There is also a plaster seller in front of my village whose surname is Bu. Maybe he is a close relative of this general!" Li Xu would always mention his family background to others, feeling disgusted for no reason.
Xu Dayan knew that he was deliberately trying to argue, so he did not argue with him. He smiled and explained: "Of course there is a difference. The Linfen Bu family is the literary, Taoist and military strategy passed down from the family after Bu Qian, the general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. He is willing to
The down-to-earth energy of joining Luo Gong's account instead of relying on the family's reputation to seek employment in the court is admirable. The Luoyang Bu family is the descendant of Xianbei King Bu Lu Geng, and has some connections with the current emperor. He puts it aside.
I can't live a stable life, but my determination to join the army under Luo Yi is even more impressive!" (To be continued)
