Liang Zhang looked at his face and thought to himself, do you know how difficult it is now? The Hu people have thousands of soldiers and horses, and fighting is like a war. If you don't have the ability, just stay alone...
"Uncle Liang Shi, can you borrow the Iron Guard's token?"
Liang Zhang thought he heard wrongly: "What did you say?"
Yang Shu repeated: "Lend me the iron guard's token."
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with his ears, Liang Zhang shouted: "You are crazy!"
The Iron Guards are actually not a ready-made army.
Its origin can be traced back to the time when Taizu conquered the world.
Emperor Taizu once selected the best group of sergeants from the army to form the Iron Guards. This personal guard army only had a total of three thousand people, but they were responsible for the most difficult tasks, either charging or making surprise attacks in order to open up the situation.
After the founding of the Qi Dynasty, these personal guards who directly belonged to Emperor Taizu were dispersed and incorporated into various armies.
They are the emperor's soldiers and the emperor's informants. Their loyalty is passed down from father to son and then to grandson from generation to generation.
Normally, they hang out in the military camp like those soldiers, but as long as they hold the token given by the emperor, they can re-summon the Iron Guards at any time.
As the commander-in-chief of the Right Army, Liang Zhang certainly had a token, but he never used it.
Just kidding, although the token was given by the emperor, everyone knows that this thing cannot be used easily and is not used in critical moments. The emperor will not settle accounts with you, but will keep a mark on you in his heart.
The right army was guarding Beitianmen. The barbarians could not attack this powerful pass and it was of no use.
The Zuo Army did use it once. About twenty years ago, the Hu people came to the pass. At that time, the Zong family was still in charge of the military, and Zong Xu's father had invited him out.
In that battle, the Iron Guards used five hundred people to surprise the royal court and broke the siege of Baimen Gorge, making the world remember this name again.
Even though they have been separated for more than ten years, the Iron Guards are still the Iron Guards.
Liang Zhang leads the right army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of the country, but he does not dare to offend the two parties.
One is the Eagle of the Imperial City Division, and the other is the Iron Guard.
Yang Shu had just threatened him with the first one, and now he was asking for the second one!
He glared at Yang Shu angrily: "Don't even think about it. Even if you really kill me, I can't take this token. The barbarians sent out thousands of cavalry and summoned the iron-clad guards to come out to meet the attack. This is a fucking war."
!You kid don’t understand the seriousness of this, so don’t act nonsense!”
Liang Zhang's own skills are poor, but it doesn't mean that he can't fight. As a commander, the most important thing is to be able to command the sergeants to fight. He is not as accomplished as Zong Xu in battle, but he has guarded Beitianmen for many years and has not experienced any major wars.
However, small conflicts continued, and he knew the importance.
Yang Shu said: "So, if you understand the seriousness of it, you can just mess around?"
Liang Zhang was angry: "I won't talk nonsense with you! In short, I can't give you this token. If you want someone else, I can allocate some to you. Iron Guards will definitely not do it."
Yang Shu said calmly: "With these people under your command, without using iron guards, can they beat a barbarian with a thousand cavalry?"
Of course...can't beat it!
But! Why should we fight? Beitianmen is fine, and the barbarians come with thousands of horses. What does it have to do with him?
For a woman? He is not a fool!
"Anyway, if I don't give it, no matter how much you threaten, it won't be of any use."
"Really?" Yang Shu played with his sword, made a beautiful sword light, and put it on his neck.
Liang Zhang was really tough this time: "Even if you chop off my head, you can't give it to me."
Just kidding! How can he explain to the emperor after being given the token? If he loses the emperor's favor, stepping down from this position may not necessarily be better than death. It also affects the fate of the entire family.
Yang Shu saw that he was not joking, thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to give it to the Iron Guard, you can give it to anything else?"
Liang Zhang said with a cold face: "We can't even fight head-on."
Yang Shu held his chin: "The barbarians won't want to fight. Winter is about to enter, and they just had a bloody battle internally. This is not the time to go south."
This is indeed the truth, but Liang Zhang didn't want him to be too proud: "But that's the seventh prince Su Tu of the Snow Wolf Tribe! Since you know what happened in Hu Di, you should know that the Snow Wolf Tribe has turned around now, and he is very likely to
Become the future Hu Lord. In order to protect his safety, the Hu people will do whatever it takes!"
"I will do whatever it takes to save people!"
Liang Zhang glared at him.
Yang Shu raised his chin and looked at the paper on the desk: "Uncle Liang, please write a warrant! It's okay if the Iron Guard doesn't give it to you, but you can give it to others, right?"
Liang Zhang then softened his tone: "How many people do you want?"
"The barbarians have thousands of cavalry. I also want a thousand. Remember, I want elite cavalry, the kind that have experienced hundreds of battles. Don't give me the appearance, otherwise you will crawl out of your stomach when you are ready to die.
Bugs!"
Liang Zhang resisted the urge to vomit and tried to persuade him again: "Do you think the Hu people are the bandits you cleaned up before? I can give you people, but you'd better think carefully about whether you can come back alive!"
"If I can't come back alive, Uncle Shi will just play with the insects."
Liang Zhang really wanted to vomit and didn't want to say anything. He quickly wrote the warrant, stamped it, and gave him the order to mobilize troops.
Yang Shu didn't waste any time, took the things and turned around to leave.
Liang Zhang looked at his disappearing back and sneered in a low voice: "Just do it! As soon as the matter is over, I will report it to the emperor to see how unlucky you are!"
…
On the grassland, a group of three people were riding horses and running wildly.
To be precise, Mingwei and Duofu were lying on their horses. They were both seriously injured, so they could only save their energy this way.
They stayed overnight and had been running like this for three days.
The majestic terrain of Beitianmen is already vaguely visible.
Halfway, half way, they can enter a safe area and return to the land of Daqi.
Hou Liang has never been so full of longing for his country as he is now.
To this day, he still finds it incredible that he has become a loyal person.
The cry of eagles was heard in the sky.
Mingwei ordered him to stop and looked up at the eagle without saying a word for a long time.
"Miss Ming, what's wrong?" Hou Liang didn't understand. Aren't we pressed for time?
"We've been discovered."
Hou Liang was stunned for a moment.
She sighed: "And the trouble is even bigger. The Hu people have a tradition of training eagles to keep an eye on the enemy. This eagle has been following us all day."
Hou Liang became nervous: "Su Tu is really coming?"
"I'm afraid it's not just Sutu who's here. This eagle is not easy to train. It's good to have one or two per tribe. They've already been dispatched, and the soldiers are probably dispatched too, right?"
Hou Liang almost fainted: "You mean, there will be troops coming?"
Mingwei nodded slightly.
"Then what should we do?" Hou Liang trembled so hard that his voice broke. Before, Su Tu brought his personal guards to chase him, but he could still find a way to deal with it. The army was dispatched, not to mention that they were lying down even if they were capable of fighting. Even if the two girls were fine
, can only be captured without hesitation.
Mingwei said to himself: "You can't beat me, and you can't run far. The only thing I can betray is your appearance..." (To be continued)
