The fifty scouts had not returned to the camp yet. According to the explanation of the chief general of Changfeng Camp, the military affairs of the border should have been delayed. Chen Qingniu was a little idle. He silently watched the training and military training of Changfeng Camp every day, without much experience. The seeds of the true meaning of military strategists were illusory, and he could not think of it. He simply hurriedly wrote a letter, asking Liu Daguang to send it to the Iron Monument Station and sent it to Zhu Zhenying, a vain residence, to ask her to help search for some military books and military history collected by the royal palace. The address was written in Yuanjiapu, Liangzhou City. Liu Daguang, a big man born and raised in the border, naturally did not know the mystery. Liu Daguang did not go there in vain and came back.

At that time, he brought a big box, and the wine could smell the fragrance several meters away. Somehow it reached the ears of the senior management of Changfeng Camp, and the discussion was heard. Finally, the general was quietly suppressed by the general, so there was no storm. It is necessary to know that the women and wine in the Xiliang military camp were explicitly prohibited. Once discovered, the punishment was extremely heavy. Of course, the female monks did not include them. After that, Liu Daguang changed his mind to hold the young deputy lieutenant's thigh, and dared to challenge the entire military camp alone. He said it was a little exaggerated. He simply didn't take Wu Da's head seriously. Even if he was a bad bastard, he made up his mind to be a slut.

Fifty scouts with wind and frosty faces returned to the base one night, and after hearing about this, they almost broke up the camp and mutiny.

The scouts have always been the elite of the cavalry elite, and they have their own arrogance. The 50-year-old soldiers were very angry. Especially in order to be the old commander who had been in the past ten years, they stood up for the unfairness. They originally thought that they would become the commander of Biao and become promoted to the Tanli Camp by virtue of their military achievements. The position they had freed up on their own people. However, they did not expect that the iron-stealing army town would be thrown out for no reason. They were a local general in Liangzhou that everyone had never heard of. This time, they went out to patrol the border according to the rules. The reason why they had not returned was that they had not returned without the idea of ​​giving the old commander anger. So they heard that this person dared not to be out of no way.

Seeing the military law, someone brought wine into the camp privately. More than a dozen scouts on the spot. Regardless of the old commander's dissuasion, they rushed to the small camp tent. The deputy captain Xuanjie, who heard the noise, lowered his head and rubbed his hands and vented his breath, was initially in line with the outsiders' impression of his wine bag. He greeted him with a smile, and he looked guilty at first. However, when a tall scout cursed Ju Niang, the young general took a step forward and punched him off the ground with his feet, flew back several feet, like a broken kite, and fell heavily to the ground. The well-made side cavalry light armor on his body was sunk with a big punch.

The whole audience was dead silent.

The young deputy lieutenant was really a sinister smile. After he attacked someone, he smiled and said with a smile: "From the future, talk to the immediate boss in the military camp. Don't make any sense of reason."

Every scout who stood out in the Xiliang border army was never ischemia in the battlefield fighting, and was even more loyal to the brothers of chariots. Although the punch clearly had the strength of a martial arts master, everyone was still not afraid of it, and they went one by one, and they were eventually knocked away and couldn't stand up.

Some Changfengying, who had originally wanted to fan the flames, immediately became turtles.

After that, Chen Qingniu did not take this opportunity to master the scout, and he almost never showed up, let alone pointed fingers. This made the monk fifty riders more and more confused. But since the young general was willing to not overturn the river, the scouts were also happy to be out of sight. Chen Qingniu often stayed in the camp, browsing the boxes of military books that Zhao Daguang retrieved from the military town inn. He often read at night with a light at night. When he was bored, he put down his books and went to Xiaoteshan beacon tower to drink. He climbed to the top and looked into the distance. The northwest sky was high and the earth was bright and the galaxy was bright, which made Chen Qingniu feel relaxed.

About two months later, Wu Zhen, the Iron Monu Army Town, personally ordered to re-emergency again - a large number of scouts were drawn, and hurried to the border, sprinkling a large handful of soybeans, and there was no specific military order. It was only said that it was to prevent the infiltration of scouts in the southern border of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Chen Qingniu also traveled on this trip, with one person two riders, armor-bag quiver, light crossbow and swords, and headed north all the way. As the top spot for this scout, Chen Qingniu did not interfere in specific military affairs. Every time he spyed on military information, he just followed any of the five cavalrymen and advanced. Over time, the men of the elite iron monument cavalrymen did not hate this deputy captain Xuanjie so much, especially when this guy stopped horses and rested at night, he could always take out a pot of wine, and then gave half a pot to a squad leader. After that, the commander who had almost been drunk had almost been waiting for Chen Qingniu to turn into a wine pot. Deputy Captain Xuanjie drank half a pot, and several commanders each drank a big sip. Some powerful cavalrymen could also take a small sip, and a pot of wine was gone.

After a full ten-day investigation, the horses on the border line were slammed into the face every day, and the wind slept in the open.

Chen Qingniu hung his bag on the side of the auxiliary rider, bringing seven or eight pots of wine in total, and soon there was only one last pot left. The sergeant who was familiar with the deputy lieutenant Xuan Jie, had his eyes lit up every time after meeting him, which was no worse than the flower-picking thief who saw the water spirit girl. But Master Biao refused to take it out and said that he wanted to stay on the way back to drink. He also said that this wine was expensive and was a good wine bought from Hu Niangzi's wine shop. Seven or eight pots of wine, and he drank it for almost a month. The more he was so stingy, the more itchy the scout under his command was. Finally one day, a youngest scout, under the strong instigation of the old Master Biao, had a hot head. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Biao was not near the mount, he opened the wine pot and drank it. How much could he have left after one round?

As a result, as the biggest hero, the young scout got the last chance to take the last sip. He was lifting his head and pouring wine into his mouth when he found someone patted his shoulder. The young man shook the wine pot hard and found that there was no more wine left, so he slowly turned his head.

A smiling face asked gently, "Is it delicious?"

The honest boy of the nature replied: "It's delicious, it's just a few sips, it's not satisfying..."

Everyone thought this guy was going to get rid of his skin.

I never thought that the elusive young label only retrieved the wine pot, patted the young scout on the head, and cursed with a smile: "Look at your promising prospect! When I return to the station, I will take you to Tiebeijun Town, look at Hu Niangzi, and drink the most expensive wine."

The old commander laughed and said, "Big Chief, otherwise I'm the one?"

Chen Qingniu stretched out his middle finger, "Just as much as your drinking water, I'm just careless when I ask you to drink!"

The old general returned a middle finger.

Laughing loudly.

At that moment, there were fifty horses in one yard, and no one hated the planting of this foreign land who occupied the magpie's nest.

Can't hate it.

Two days later, the fifty scouts of Changfeng Camp almost reached the outermost area of ​​the border line where the scout patrols. If nothing unexpected happens, they can retreat safely.

Even if there is no military achievements, no casualties.

In fact, this is definitely not a bad thing in the borders of both countries.

But at this time, the scouts of the army encountered great trouble. It was a contact battle between a narrow road. Without any warning, more than a dozen cavalry of the Great Sui Dynasty appeared behind the five cavalry of the Changfeng Camp.

Those who are familiar with border cavalry wars, especially those who are scouts contact wars, understand one thing. At this moment, there is no way to survive except breaking the formation straight, because the more you detour, the more you will squander the strength of the war horse. The opponent will only be more relaxed in chasing it. Moreover, the one who breaks the formation must be faster. Once a person or horse is injured, it is also a word for death.

The scouts in Changfeng Camp or the cavalry that returned to Chen Qingniu's eyes were the only one left of the boy with an arrow on his shoulder, covered in blood, but fortunately there was no fatal injury.

The young man cried and said, "It is the first scout of the Great Sui border army. Everyone has hung a green lion seal on their waists... The old commander and I have already broken through the enemy cavalry formation, but the commander said that if no one stops, then no one can escape. In the end, the commander

I deliberately slowed down the horse's hooves, and I didn't dare to look back at all..."

Chen Qingniu quickly put on his armor, wore a sword and carried a crossbow, and said to everyone: "Send the order and after the meeting, everyone goes south and retreats directly. I will go back."

The young man choked and said, "Captain Biao, don't go! The old commander said that the Great Sui scout who hung the green lion seal belonged to the Great Sui army..."

A cavalry protruded and headed north.

Horse hooves are bursting and iron armor is clanging.

The young scout hadn't finished speaking yet.

A sergeant said in a deep voice: "According to the order of the bidder, we will retreat south together. We will wait for the bidder in the Tujiao area."

The young man wanted to speak, and the sergeant shouted angrily: "This is a military order!"

———

Nearly an hour later, the scouts of the Changfeng Camp in Tujiao still did not see the Nanhui figure of the rider. More than 40 riders were on standby on the spot, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Although this military information was passed on the way to a team of brother scouts who met, who were veteran scouts from Yiwu Tanli Camp, would soon send the news back to Tiebei Military Town.

The young scout had pulled out the arrows and bandaged his shoulders. At this time, he stopped his horse and looked north with a middle-aged sergeant. The young man was worried, "Is the Qingshi Banner Army where the scout is located, not one of the direct descendants of Li Yanchao, the god of the Great Sui Dynasty? Why did it appear on the northern border of the Iron Monument Army Town? The chief went here..."

The sergeant said helplessly: "Wait."

As the sun sets, a ride slowly appears at the end of the horizon.

He was covered in iron armor and covered in brilliant golden colors.

The man was following four unhooked war horses.

More than forty scouts rode forward almost at the same time.

It was the young man who returned as agreed to the same way, with a slightly pale face and covered in blood, grinning at everyone, "I have brought back all four of Lao Song and the others. There is no reason to let them stay there. If they die, there is not even a grave or a tomb, right?"

It turned out that the four war horses were bound to the backs of the old soldiers and their bodies.

In addition, the sides of the war horses were full of enemies, hanging their heads, the blood had already dried up, and their faces were either twisted or terrified.

This scene also means that the young Deputy Xuanjie faced far more than the more than ten Great Sui scouts.

Chen Qingniu looked at everyone and asked, "What about all the military merits of these twenty-three heads are distributed to five people including Lao Song?"

The young man turned over and got off the horse and ran to the war horse carrying the body of the old commander. The young man opened his mouth, whimpered and started to cry.

He finally raised his head, crying with tears in his face, "Biao Chang, I don't want military achievements! I'm not worthy!"

Chen Qingniu looked down at the corpse on the back of the war horse and said, "I believe Lao Song and the others think you have not lost the face of the scout of the Changfeng Camp, so if you don't take this military merit, you will be sorry to your old commander."

Several sergeant commanders looked at each other. If they said these amazing military achievements and gave them to Lao Song, it would be a blessing in disguise. No one had any objections. Generally speaking, with such a large amount of real contributions, even if there are more than a dozen people in the family in the pass, they will not have to worry about food and clothing in the second half of their lives. But everyone was extremely puzzled. They only heard that there were military men who invaded military achievements, and there was no such thing as this young man in front of him. He was obviously the military achievements he had obtained from his bloody battle, but he had to give them to his soldiers?

Chen Qingniu thought for a while and breathed out, "I thought about it. The iron monument may be passed, but after reporting to the Mawei General's Mansion, someone may doubt the authenticity of this military merit. So I think the five old Songs will be divided into half of the military merits, and the rest will be divided equally by more than 40 people. In this way, it is safer and less likely to cause trouble due to blessings and trouble. Besides, the four people outside the little fleas, what about the family members in the pass? People who are familiar with their families should ask everyone to go there in person and help them come up with ideas. Whether to exchange it for pensions in one breath or exchange it for a few iron monuments for the young people in the family, you can talk slowly. Also, don't let some prodigal sons or unscrupulous relatives defeat them. We must let the four old Songs go with peace of mind."

He paused for a moment, smiling and far-fetched, "Don't worry about these things now. When we return to the station, we will discuss giving a specific charter."

The scouts of more than 40 cavalry and the Changfeng camp made everyone's eyes turn red when they heard it.

After returning from a great victory, the young generals did not say that the passionate words of one person killed the enemy, or that the four old Song and the other had not died in vain, but that they had a face for the scouts of Changfeng Camp.

On the contrary, the words that young people planted were nagging, mother-in-law and mother.

Chen Qingniu said in a deep voice: "Go home!"

———

It is approaching dusk.

The most famous tavern in Tiebei Jun Town, in addition to selling wine, also began to sell bitter tea and sour plum soup. Both of these are Hu Niangzi's specialties, and they are more signature than those drinks. Therefore, this tavern has become a good place to escape the summer heat and reduce fire. Old Man Pei, the middle and lower-level officials in the general's office, cannot afford to drink the flower wine in brothels or go to those big restaurants, like to shout and meet here, each of whom has a bowl of herbal tea for summer removal, requires a few plates of peanuts and a few kilograms of beef sauce, and looked at the boss lady full of spring with herbal flowers. She was not a god, but a fairy.

Chen Qingniu came to this restaurant alone. Coincidentally, it started drizzling as soon as Chen Qingniu sat down. The drizzle at dusk was harmonious, which invisibly added a bit of softness to the stiff military town. After Chen Qingniu returned to Changfeng Camp's headquarters, even if he changed his clothes, he would inevitably have a faint smell of blood. Fortunately, this timely rain dispelled the smell that was not easy to detect. Chen Qingniu selected a table in the corner, and the beautiful wine-selling woman hurriedly finished her business and arrived slowly. Chen Qingniu looked up and smiled: "Two pots of apricot blossom wine, one pot was opened directly, a plate of salted peanuts, and two kilograms of sauce meat. It was almost a ounce of silver, and the extra dozens of cents didn't matter."

The woman smiled and said, "Okay, General~"

Her waist twisted.

Many drunkards who don’t think of the drunkard are obsessed with it.

But the woman was a little confused. Why did the young general feel uncomfortable when he looked at him?

While waiting, Chen Qingniu heard a low voice around him talking about a storm about Hu Niangzi. Not long ago, a group of brightly dressed foreign powerhouses came here to buy wine. The mouth was not clean and full of meat. It would be fine. In the end, a drunkard dared to use the alcohol to try to hug Hu Niangzi's slim waist, a man's head, and a woman's waist, which could not be touched casually. The woman in Xiliang is not inferior to a man, let alone Hu Niangzi, who needs to show up all year round. She avoided it first, and was doing business to make peace and make money and give in. Unexpectedly, the drunkard stood up and a hungry tiger pounced on the sheep on the spot. This completely annoyed Hu Niangzi. He picked up a bottle of wine from a nearby wine table and smashed it on the head of the lustful disciple. He instantly smashed it into pieces. His strength was absolutely great.

After that, there was a smoky melee. There were many local drinkers, so they naturally protected Hu Niangzi. Unfortunately, the fighting power of the fight was far less than that of the group of foreigners. The two sides were generally evenly matched. In short, when they were going back and forth, it was very lively. It was a farce until someone shouted "Dead". It turned out that a young soldier broke into the battlefield. He probably punched him before he rolled up his sleeves, and then stomped on him, and then vomited blood. A large pool of blood on his chest was like a small pond, which was shocking.

In the end, this very static conflict attracted a tight siege of forty elite cavalry and nearly 100 stud soldiers in the city. The third in charge of the general's office came forward in person, but no one expected that the big things would be turned into small things in the end. They fined the men from the next military town three hundred taels of silver and released them all. It is said that on the side of the Iron Monument, it is their own territory, so it shouldn't be so thunderous. In addition, the whole army town firmly believes that the main general Wu Zhen and Hu Niangzi had a scoundrel. Could it be that Wu Da's head was so cowardly that he didn't even care about his own women?

Anyway, no one of the officials in the General's Office dared to come to the restaurant to fight Qiu Feng, for fear that they would accidentally sprinkle salt on the wound on Wu Da's head. At that time, Wu Zhen was famous for being petty and could wear shoes for that indifferent guy for at least two or three years.

Chen Qingniu drank quietly and ordered a plate of peanuts for the wine dish.

He is not like many drunk customers who do not like to call friends when drinking. He doesn't like to call friends when drinking, and gets close to each other. He only looks for a table with few people when looking for a seat. He never makes a big move and deliberately orders the most expensive drink.

Mrs. Hu looked up at the sky. The gray rain screen reduced the business a little, but she never lacked business, and she could be considered a chance to take a break from her busy schedule.

She hesitated for a moment, sat next to the young man, and asked with a smile: "General, have you just returned to the city?"

Chen Qingniu nodded with a smile.

She smiled and said, "Please give me a drink?"

Chen Qingniu was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "But there is no one who does business like this."

Madam Hu smiled, "Then I'll treat you."

She quickly brought a pot of wine and a big white bowl, sat down again, poured herself half a bowl of wine, and took a sip, "There is a Jun Ye outside the city. He often buys some wine here recently to take it back. At first, I was wondering why there was such a generous stranger suddenly. After asking twice, I found out that it was the general that you were taking care of my business. So today, you can drink it. Even if you take a copper coin, I am considered a profiteer and I am not kind."

Chen Qingniu was not stupid, so of course he didn't refuse and joked: "The best wine in the world is given to you by others for free."

Hu Niangzi asked tentatively: "With the general's family background, still lacking wine?"

Chen Qingniu smiled but refused to answer.
To be continued...
