The weather in early spring still has a hint of coldness in winter.
It is a remote place near Luoyang, the eastern capital, within the Yulin Army.
A shirtless young man was carrying a bucket and watering himself. The young man looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with well-proportioned muscles. Although he did not have bulging muscles, he was actually very explosive.
Wow!
The cold water spilled and splashed on the ground.
The young man took a long breath, wiped his body quickly, and then put on clean clothes. This young man has sharp eyebrows, a nose as sharp as a gallbladder, and cheeks as sharp as a knife and an axe, with clear edges and corners, which can be seen at a glance.
Remember clearly.
This person is none other than Wang Can.
It has been nearly a month since he came to this world.
The era he lived in was the Sui Dynasty, and it was now the early spring of the fifth year of Daye, which was the sixth year after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne. In just a few years, Yang Guang had quickly consumed the foundation laid by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, especially when he built the Grand Canal.
He also conquered the Western Regions, which increased the burden on the people of the world and caused resentment among the people.
But now, there is no war happening yet.
After all, no one dares to rebel yet.
When Wang Can woke up after time travel, he was in the mountains again. The heavenly sword in his hand lost its power again just like last time. It was just an indestructible sword. And his own strength was completely restored to its original shape, unable to control
Kong is even just a master who has just entered the acquired world. Among military generals, he is a second-rate general and cannot be considered a master.
The only good thing is that the Heavenly Sword is now like a system, giving Wang Can a direction. The message from the Heavenly Sword is that through Wang Can's official promotion, the restrictions in the Heavenly Sword will gradually be lifted, and then it will feed Wang Can back.
This allowed Wang Can to regain his strength bit by bit.
Wang Can roughly understood that this was still the same as last time.
We still need to rely on the luck of the country to achieve a breakthrough.
Wang Can didn't think too much about it. He wanted to travel to the future generations step by step, but now that he has come, he will make peace with it. He will first gain a foothold in the troubled times of the Sui Dynasty, and then think about other things.
Coincidentally, when he was traveling through time, he happened to meet a captain from the Yulin Army hunting in the mountains.
The captain's name was Zuo Ren. He was hunting with a few guards, but unexpectedly provoked a fierce tiger and was in danger. Wang Can happened to go out and rescued Zuo Ren and killed the tiger.
Zuo Ren was greatly impressed by Wang Can's strength. After he had a conversation with Wang Can, Wang Can compiled a story about his background, saying that he had practiced with his teacher in the mountains since he was a child, and that he had only left the mountain after his teacher died of illness.
Zuo Ren learned about Wang Can's situation and immediately invited Wang Can to serve in the Yulin Army and helped Wang Can solve household registration and other issues.
This is great for Wang Can.
He is now a gangster.
If he does not have a household registration, there will be some problems in traveling around the world in the future. Moreover, he has nothing now, so joining the army is the best choice.
After Wang Can agreed to Zuo Ren, he eventually entered the Yulin Army and was appointed as the corps commander by Zuo Ren.
After all, Wang Can has not accomplished anything yet.
So, he is just a corps leader.
Wang Can is not worried about his future. He believes in his abilities. During the more than a month in the army, he has become accustomed to life in the army, and he has convinced the five soldiers under his command.
With Wang Can's methods, it was really easy to subdue five soldiers.
It's really too easy.
Ordinary corps commanders in the army sleep with ordinary soldiers and live together. Because Zuo Ren valued him, and Zuo Ren saw Wang Can fight a tiger with his own eyes, he recognized Wang Can's strength, so he stayed alone
A tent was prepared for Wang Can to live in.
After Wang Can took a cold shower, he felt refreshed and went to his tent.
On the way back, a soldier ran over quickly and said: "Commander, Mai Erlang is here again. He said he went back to practice some, gained some experience, and wanted to fight you again."
Wang Can knows the identity of Mai Erlang.
This person's name is Mai Zhongcai.
In the army, he was only a captain and his position was not high. But Mai Zhongcai's father was Mai Tiezhang, the general of the Yulin Army. The Yulin Army's own organization was composed of left and right garrison guards.
Mai Tiezhang is General Youtunwei.
However, ordinary soldiers in the army did not know the identity of Mai Zhongcai. After all, Mai Zhongcai called himself Mai Erlang from beginning to end and never mentioned his name.
Therefore, ordinary soldiers do not know.
No one below the rank of captain knows about it.
The reason why Wang Can knew about it was because of Zuo Ren's suggestion. Moreover, the reason why Wang Can and Mai Zhongcai met was because Zuo Ren and Mai Zhongcai had a good relationship and boasted about Wang Can's strength, so Mai Zhongcai specially came to challenge him.
In the past month or so, Mai Zhongcai has challenged six times, and all six times he failed in disgrace.
However, Mai Zhongcai suffered repeated defeats and battles.
After each defeat, he would try again a few days later.
Now, Mai Zhongcai is here again.
"Let's go!"
Wang Can nodded.
He took his soldiers back to the location of the camp. At this time, Mai Zhongcai looked excited and said: "Wang Can, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait. This time, I thought of several
An exquisite move. This time, I will definitely win. You will definitely lose, and you will be defeated in my hands."
After Wang Can put down the barrel, he put on his airs and said: "Come on, come on!"
"Take the move!"
Mai Zhongcai sprinted quickly and was in front of Wang Can in a blink of an eye. He did not approach stupidly, but stomped his feet. He jumped into the air and kicked out, intending to fly up and give Wang Can a kick.
.
Wang Can looked embarrassed.
He turned sideways quickly, and then kicked his legs out like lightning.
"Snapped!"
The sole of his foot touched Mai Zhongcai's chest impartially. With this kick, Mai Zhongcai's flying body flew backwards and crashed to the ground.
At this moment, the soldiers under Wang Can's command all covered their eyes and looked embarrassed.
It's really too miserable.
After all, Mai Erlang was also a captain in the army, but every time he came, he was beaten with bruises on his nose and face.
Wang Can clapped his hands and said: "Mai Erlang, do you still want to fight?"
"This this……"
Mai Zhongcai, who was rough-skinned and fleshy, stood up and patted his body, but nothing happened.
He scratched his head, a little confused, and said: "I carefully thought about it and consulted it several times before. After getting close to you, I was knocked to the ground. Now, I shot from a distance, but I didn't expect that I still lost."
Wang Can smiled and said: "There is no way, you are too weak."
"you really……"
When Mai Zhongcai heard Wang Can's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Can, you are so honest."
After a pause, Mai Zhongcai said: "Old Wang, Zuo Ren and I have a date tonight. Let's go to a restaurant in the city for a drink. You suit my taste, are you willing to go?"
Wang Can said: "I won't go. When I think that the city is full of barbarians from the Western Regions. These people are eating and drinking everywhere but have no money. I am afraid that I will not be able to control myself. If I beat these barbarians to death, it will be difficult to
Explain."
Nowadays, Luoyang City is full of barbarians.
There are not only Turks, but also Tuyuhun people and some barbarians from other Western Regions.
These people all came to Luoyang for pilgrimage.
Yang Guang has always been concerned with saving face. He issued an edict to county magistrates everywhere, ordering county magistrates everywhere, as well as all restaurants, inns and other places, if Hu people want to eat and live, it must be free and no money is allowed.
To show the magnanimity of a great country.
So today's Luoyang has become a paradise for barbarians.
But this is terrible for the people.
Those who do business will suffer huge losses!
Because after Yang Guang issued an order, the government did not provide subsidies for businessmen who lost money.
In short, Yang Guang is just pretending to be fat.
Wang Can naturally sneered at this matter, but he did not say anything about Yang Guang's fault. This was the Sui Dynasty, and now Yang Guang was the emperor and the greatest emperor. If he said something wrong about Yang Guang, he would easily be criticized.
But it does not prevent Wang Can from speaking out against the barbarians.
After Mai Zhongcai heard Wang Can's words, he immediately became angry and snorted: "Speaking of which, I am also full of anger. These barbarians are really abominable. Luoyang was originally a good place. But here they are.
It's like a rat droppings ruining a pot of porridge. Luoyang is really a mess now."
Wang Can said: "There is no way!"
Mai Zhongcai thought for a while and then said: "Are you serious that you don't want to go? The place we are going to is hidden and not many people know about it. I guess we won't see any foreigners."
"not going!"
Wang Can shook his head and answered.
He doesn't have much interest in so-called banquets.
Furthermore, he is just a corps commander, so he cannot leave the military camp at will. Mai Zhongcai, Zuo Ren and others are all generals in the army, and they are all leaders of troops. They have reasons for going out.
It's not appropriate for Wang Can to go out.
Mai Zhongcai shook his head, turned around and left without saying anything.
Wang Can ignored it and watched Mai Zhongcai leave, then carried the barrel and walked to the tent.
Seeing this, the soldiers on the side said regretfully: "Commander, this is Colonel Zuo, Colonel Mai and others. They invited you to go, why not go there? This is an opportunity to make friends with them."
Wang Can said: "No need!"
He waved his hand and said: "Let's all disperse. It's getting dark soon. Go back to your tent and don't run around. Otherwise, it will be terrible if you are caught by the general who often comes to patrol at night."
When everyone heard this, they all dispersed.
Wang Can returned to the camp with a smile and took out a book to read.
Nowadays, Wang Can is used to it. In the army, he practices martial arts every day, drills soldiers, and reads books. Wang Can is actually not in a hurry about getting ahead.
This Sui Dynasty will soon change.
Troubled times are coming, and he has plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
Therefore, even though Wang Can is a team leader now, he is not in a hurry. When the time comes, he will naturally be able to rise through the ranks and stand out.
Wang Can lit up the lamp and read, and at around 12:00 in the evening, he turned off the lamp and went to bed on time.
The next day, early morning.
Wang Can got up and finished his morning exercises. After breakfast, he led the soldiers to practice again and went about their daily routine. However, around noon, Mai Zhongcai and Zuo Ren came together in a hurry.
The expressions on both of their faces were quite serious. (To be continued)
