Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"drive!"

Guo Kui waved his riding whip,

Driving the seated horse to run forward faster.

The horse he sat on now was no longer the one Xu Zaijing gave him in Bianjing, but a handsome Hequ horse.

but,

We are almost near the camp.

Guo Kui could still only see the back of Xu Zaijing riding on the little horse and wearing light leather armor.

"Xu~~~"

There were still a hundred steps away from the camp, Xu Zaijing relaxed his legs on the horse's back and made a soft sound in his mouth.

Sitting down, Xiao Liju sensed Xu Zaijing's intention and gradually slowed down.

Seeing the 'opponent' catching up from behind, Xiao Liju snorted disdainfully.

Feeling that the 'opponent of the opposite sex' was about to come over, Xiao Liju neighed in a threatening tone.

Guo Kui, who was riding on the Hequ horse, also pulled the reins with some embarrassment: "Brother Jing, this is quite rare!"

Xu Zaijing smiled and pulled the reins of the little Liju who was about to bite the opponent: "I have cultivated its appetite at home."

The reason why the two of them said this was because under normal circumstances, stallions on the battlefield would basically be castrated.

The important reason for gelding stallions is that uncastrated stallions will have sperm in their brains when they see a mare. They will chase the mare regardless and are difficult to control.

Moreover, uncastrated stallions are extremely violent and will easily refuse to be ridden.

Before large-scale gelding of stallions, using mares to lure enemy stallions and disrupt the enemy's formation was a tactic.

The Hequ mare that Guo Kui sat on was also a rare 'beautiful horse'. If it appeared in front of an uncastrated stallion, it would be 'harassed'.

But today, in front of the majestic and handsome Xiao Liju, the target of being 'harassed' changed.

It's not that Guo Kui's Hequ horse is bad. Just like Xu Zaijing said, the two dragon colts in the Hou Mansion were reared by the little Li colt.

After the two waited for a while, Qingyun, Alan, the Xu family's eagle keeper and other cavalrymen who followed them caught up.

Because they were not cavalry carrying orders, nor were they scouts sent out to find out the news, they did not have any urgent military information with them.

Therefore, everyone cannot rush into the camp.

After getting off their horses and checking their identities, everyone led their horses into the camp.

The camp with tens of thousands of people is very large.

On the road between the military camps, there are figures of cavalry running on horseback from time to time.

After entering the camp, everyone mounted their horses again and walked along the roadside towards the Chinese army camp.

The north is the back of the camp. Entering the camp from here is closer to the cavalry camp.

Because as a highly maneuverable unit, the cavalry is usually deployed at the side and rear of the Chinese army's camp.

There were many cavalry soldiers taking care of their mounts on the road.

After seeing the little Liju sitting down by Xu Zaijing, some people exclaimed, while others pointed at the little Liju, or patted the robe next to them to let the robe take a look at the little Liju.

At this time,

A cavalry commander who was familiar with Guo Kui passed by with four or five cavalry lieutenants.

The cavalry commander was first attracted by the little Liju. After glancing up and down at Xu Zaijing, he saw the strong bows and sharp arrows on both sides of Xu Zaijing's saddle.

Looking at Qingyun, He Guan and the eagle farmer following them, he said to Guo Kui with admiration in his eyes: "Old Guo, whose yamen is here to join the army?"

"He looks awesome! Come to my camp!"

Guo Kui cupped his hands on his horse and said with a smile: "Commander Wang, this is the youngest son of Marquis Xu. If you want him to go to your camp, then you have to ask Commander Di and Commander Zhu!"

When the cavalry commander heard this, he quickly smiled and raised his hands: "It turns out it was Wu Lang in person!"

Xu Zaijing smiled and returned the favor.

The cavalry commander said: "Forget it, we can't beat these two! There is still a military discussion, let's take the first step!"

Xu Zaijing and Guo Kui both raised their hands: "Come on, take command!"

"drive!"

Looking at Xu Zaijing's chasing eyes, Guo Kui said from the side: "Brother Jing, this cavalry commander's name is Wang Yuan. He was originally the cavalry commander under King Shao of Hehuang. He has been serving for less than half a year now. Already the commander of the first battalion.”

Xu Zaijing nodded, and He Guan, the former Forbidden Army Cavalry behind him, smacked his lips in envy when he heard this.

The horse may be fast or slow,

After walking for about three quarters of an hour,

Xu Zaijing and other people came to the Chinese army's tent with tall flag poles and large banners hung on them.

We are getting closer to the Chinese army’s tent.

Along the way, soldiers bowed their hands and saluted Guo Kui from time to time.

Outside the huge tent,

It seemed that the military meeting had broken up, and many generals from the Zhou army had gathered around.

The arrival of Xu Zaijing and his party attracted the attention of these generals.

There were many officers and lieutenants who came from the Sun family or were soldiers of the Yongyi Hou Mansion. When they saw Xu Zaijing next to Guo Kui, their faces were full of surprise:

"Cousin Jing?"

"Goro? Why are you here?"

"Brother Jing!? Am I dazzled?"

"Is Wulang here? We need to bring our cousin here!"

After Xu Zaijing dismounted, while listening to these words, he kept nodding and saluting: "Uncle, third uncle, eighth uncle, fifth cousin, eighth cousin, eleventh brother, seventeenth brother, nineteenth brother"

Qingyun, who was following Xu Zaijing, saluted normally.

The somewhat unfamiliar lieutenants whispered to each other:

"Is he the incredibly powerful Fifth Young Master Du Tou mentioned?"

"Is this Marquis' young son really that powerful?"

"Commander Di and Commander Feng said that neither of them can defeat him!"

"ah?"

At this time, Xu Zaijing also walked to everyone in the Sun family and talked with his uncles and cousins.

Hearing that there were things in the carriage behind him that his aunts and cousins ​​asked him to bring, everyone patted Xu Zaijing's shoulders and arms more affectionately.

Guo Kui entered the tent ahead of him after being informed.

After a while,

Guo Kui came out of the tent and said, "Brother Jing, the Marquis wants you to come in!"

Xu Zaijing nodded, and after nodding again with his uncles and cousins ​​around him, he walked towards the big tent.

When Xu Zaijing entered the Chinese army tent owned by his father, Yongyi Hou Xu Minghua, his first impression was that there was plenty of light and it was bright.

The first thing you see is a very huge sand table, densely covered with various signs.

There is an open space behind the sand table. Behind the open space is a wide table, and behind the table is a huge map that blocks the back.

In the open space between the sand table and the table, stood several distinguished generals in military uniforms, including his father, Yong Yihou Xu Minghua, and his eldest brother, Xu Zaiduan.

(For the convenience of reading, Xu Minghua is called Yongyihou, and Xu Zaiduan is called Xu Dalang)

Seeing Xu Zaijing, Yongyihou waved.

When Xu Zaijing came closer, Marquis Yongyi looked at Xu Zaijing with loving eyes and said: "Wu Lang, let me introduce to you as my father. This is the second son of Tuoxi Hou, the eldest son of the British Duke."

Xu Zaijing listened to his father's introduction and quickly called someone.

After Marquis Yongyi finished his introduction, the eldest son of the Xu family, Zai Duan, said, "Xiao Wu, did you hear that Guo Kui said there was some unevenness on the road?"

The children of the Zhang family and the Cao family around Yong Yihou all looked over.

Xu Zaijing nodded and talked about what happened in the past few days.

Hearing what Xu Zaijing said, he became suspicious because his horse was so handsome that others didn't take a second look at it. Zhang Fang, the eldest son of the British father-in-law, interjected with some disbelief on his face: "Wu Lang, is your horse outside?"

Xu Zaijing nodded.

Zhang Fangyan said: "Then I'll go take a look and see how handsome he is!"

With that said, he walked out.

Xu Zaijing continued,

When he heard Xu Zaijing's victory report after the battle, Cao Yang, the second son of the Cao family, hurriedly asked: "Did you bring those prisoners?"

Xu Zaijing nodded again and said, "I've brought you the one who can ride a horse!"

Cao Yang asked with excitement in his tone: "Are they sent by the garrison of Keyi Gate?"

"yes!"

"Did they take the opportunity to cross the desert a few days ago when the Keyi Gate garrison moved?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Cao Yang happily patted Xu Zaijing's shoulder and said, "Okay! Give them to me, and I'll ask anything else!"

Xu Zaijing looked at his father, and Marquis Yongyi nodded.

At this time,

Zhang Fangyan, who had gone out just now, walked back to the tent and said, "Wulang, your horse is really handsome, but why do I see that it is not very interested in the mare?"

Xu Zaijing: "Ah? How did you know?"

Zhang Fangyan smiled and waved her hands and said, "I just gave it a try. I didn't expect your horse to look down on it so much."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yang clicked his tongue at Zhang Fangyan with a face full of disgust.

Xu Zaijing didn't want to go against his little Liju's wishes and make him too tired, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, before leaving, the Duke's wife and Wu Niang asked me to bring some things to the Duke and Brother Yan. "

"The Duke's belongings have been handed over to the Hai family. Brother Yan, your belongings are on the carriage behind! How about we go take a look?"

Zhang Fangyan was stunned, glanced meaningfully at Xu Zaijing, nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Xu Zaijing looked at his father and elder brother next to him and said, "My mother and sister-in-law also asked me to bring a lot of things!"

With that said, everyone walked out.

Zhang Fangyan stayed at the back, and Yongyi Hou, who was about the same age as him, walked side by side. As he walked, he said: "Brother Shi, your youngest son is handsome and handsome, and he sounds like he can fight. Why don't I seal it for his father?" letter"

Xu Zaijing, who was walking aside, quickly turned around and said, "Well, before leaving, Wu Niang told me that if it wasn't for the opposite direction, she would have asked me to help her bring something to Zheng Xiao."

Zhang Fangyan blinked and said, "Wu Niang still likes the youngest son of the Zheng family?"

Xu Zaijing nodded quickly.

Zhang Fangyan: "Okay! It's a pity that we can't be relatives anymore."

Everyone talked and walked out of the big tent.

After a lot of fun, everyone divided the things brought from Bianjing's house.

Yongyi Hou Xu Minghua took the two brothers Xu Zaijing back to the big tent.

Bypass the map,

Entering the back tent of the living room,

The father and son sat down.

Xu Zaijing looked at his father who had taken off his hat.

Rounding things off, my father, who I haven’t seen in the past two years, now has a lot of gray hair on his head.

"Father, why do you have so many gray hairs?"

Hearing this,

Marquis Yongyi touched his head and said calmly: "As a father, I don't know why! Maybe he is old?"

Xu Dalang on the side said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wu, the lives of tens of thousands of people are now tied to my father. How can my father not have gray hair if he has worked so hard!"

Xu Zaijing looked at his father's expression distressedly and nodded.

Yong Yihou looked at his youngest son's eyes, closed his eyes and shook his head: "Jing'er, don't look at me like this! How many people in the capital want to be in this position, but they haven't had the chance to work so hard like me!"

Xu Zaijing: "Father, do you know everything about Beijing?"

Marquis Yongyi nodded: "Your Majesty sent me an urgent letter before, asking me not to worry about this matter."

"Okay, don't talk about your father! Jing'er, you come to the front line like this, how will you take the imperial examination? Don't you plan to study?"

Hearing his father's question, Xu Dalang nodded in agreement and looked at his younger brother.

Xu Zaijing shook his head and said, "Father, I have passed the college entrance examination, but I still need to study. On the way here, I have already completed half of the homework assigned by the scholar."

"As soon as you and Grandpa Cao finish the plan, I will return to Beijing to continue my studies."

Marquis Yongyi sighed and said, "Jing'er, on a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, one more or one less of you will not make a difference, so why bother to delay your studies."

"Besides, you have only learned some things on the battlefield from your cousins ​​from the Sun family. Although I am your father, I will not let you lead the troops!"

Xu Zaijing looked at Marquis Yongyi: "Father, you and your elder brother are fighting on the battlefield, and I am staying in Bianjing. I am confused! Especially after going to the Taoist temple last month."

Marquis Yongyi and Xu Dalang naturally knew what going to the Taoist temple was for.

Yongyi Hou and his eldest son looked at each other and said, "Since you have such a reason, I won't say much. Then you can stay with me and be a messenger cavalryman!"

"Ah? Father, I don't want to be a messenger cavalryman! I don't know all the officers under your command. What if the Baigao army goes forward tomorrow and delays important things?"

Listening to his younger brother's words, Xu Dalang looked at his father Yongyi Hou in agreement.

Yongyi Hou said unhappily:

"Then what do you want to be? Infantryman in front of the battle?"

Xu Zaijing looked at his father and said, "Father, before at home, my son and cousin Zhu learned a lot of skills of cavalry scouts. I want to be a scout."

Yongyi Hou glanced at Xu Zaijing and said, "Okay, you are self-aware and didn't ask to be a general in front of the battle."

Xu Zaijing smiled and scratched his head.

Afterwards, Yongyi Hou looked at his youngest son Xu Zaijing with a calm face.

When Xu Zaijing stopped laughing, Marquis Yongyi said slowly: "Jing'er, your ability is known to your father! But you must not disobey military orders on the battlefield, and you must not act recklessly!"

Xu Zaijing nodded quickly: "Yes! Father, I know!"

Looking at Xu Zaijing's face with a slight beard, Marquis Yongyi continued:

"Also! Now we and the Baigao defenders on the opposite side are fighting hard to kill the cavalry scouts on the opposite side. Do you know why?"

Xu Zaijing thought for a while, looked at his elder brother and said: "Father, I think Big things are coming? ! "

Marquis Yongyi nodded: "Jing'er, you are right! That is to say, the front army scouts are the most dangerous now! Do you still want to go?"

Xu Zaijing stood up without hesitation and said: "Father, I will go!"

"Okay! If others can go, my son can go too!"

"Go ahead, come and have dinner with your father in the evening! Starting tomorrow, don't come to the central army tent, your current status is not enough!"

Xu Zaijing bowed and clasped his hands: "Yes, Du Tongzhi! I will take my leave!"

After that, Xu Zaijing and his father smiled at each other.

Then Xu Zaijing and his elder brother walked out together. Looking at his elder brother who was almost as tall as him, Xu Zaijing affectionately put his arm around his elder brother's shoulders. As soon as he put his arm around him, he saw his elder brother's face tighten.

Xu Zaijing quickly let go: "Brother, what's wrong? Are you injured?"

Xu Dalang gritted his teeth and took a breath of cold air and said: "Minor injury! When I followed our personal soldiers to investigate, I was hit by a flying stone."

Looking at Xu Zaijing's concerned eyes, Xu Dalang said: "Don't worry, I applied Doctor Yu's ointment!"

Xu Zaijing nodded and said: "That's good! By the way, the Yu family also asked me to bring something, where is Brother Yu Huguang?"
