Fan Shi took a sip of wine and carefully put it into his arms. He licked his lips at Zhang Zhongjian outside the tent and said, "Here, Zhang Sanlang was granted the title of Duke of Changxing County and is now the general of Zuojianmen. In the battle of Jingzhou He led the front army alone, but he was also the leader of Lang Jun's personal guard before, and stayed on guard day and night."
Liu Hei'er was stunned and couldn't help but look back at Zhang Zhongjian. Although he was a Hu, Ji Hu was attached to Liang Shidu after all, and Liang, like Li Tang, followed the former Sui Dynasty and established sixteen guards... Of course , these are all false positions, but Liu Heier also knows that the so-called general of Zuojianmen is already the position second only to the general in the Sixteenth Guards system.
Moreover, he was given the title of County Duke, he was actually the leader of the Handan King's personal guard, and he once stayed in Li's house as a guard... Now Liu Hei'er no longer felt aggrieved at all.
"Zhang Sanlang only joined Lang Jun's family last year." Zhu Ba on the opposite side added: "It turned out to be Yuan Junzhang's subordinate. Do you know Yuan Junzhang?"
"I know." Liu Heier scratched the thick beard on his chin. How could Yuan Junzhang, who was once as famous as Master Liang, not know?
Obviously, they are reminding themselves that Zhang Zhongjian was able to ascend to a high position in just a few years, even though he was demoted to a general, and you, Liu Heier, also have this opportunity.
Although Liu Heier has been famous for the King of Handan in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, he has mostly heard rumors about Li Huairen being cruel and easy to kill, and he did not know much about other things. At this moment, he was wondering, is that Zhang Sanlang? Is it because he is the leader of the Handan King's bodyguard that he can rise so quickly?
The next moment, Liu Heier heard Fan Shiyi next to him say, "Everyone in the court knows that there are many heroes among Lang Jun's bodyguards, and many of them are knighted. Some go into official positions, and some stay with Lang Jun. It's just that This time with the army, all the men are scattered among the army, but there are few people around to protect them, so I have to ask Brother Liu this time."
"You should do your best."
Just as Liu Hei'er finished speaking, Zhao Da, who had been silent all this time, said: "Lang Jun's personal guards are three ahead of the others, and the first one is the former military commander Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang."
"Uh..." Liu Heier was completely stunned. The Duke of Zhao was actually a member of the Handan King's personal guard.
"The second one is Junhao, the Duke of Leshou County, who is now the Zhonglang General of Zuowu Guard." Zhu Ba said: "Actually, he does not want to serve as an official. He is just joining the army this time and has no choice but to join the job."
"The third one is Zhang Sanlang." Fan Shiyi said with a smile, "You are the fourth one."
Qi Laosan added: "In addition to Brother Dingfang, Zhang Sanlang, and Brother Junhao, Hou Hongtao and Qu Silang can also be knighted... By the way, there is also Zhou Zuorang, who can also..."
"Shut up!" Fan Shiyi glared, "Erlang of the Zhou family has done a good job in escorting you!"
Qi Laosan's mouth crooked and he didn't say anything more. In the wars last year, he and Zhou Erlang were left in Dai County and failed to participate. Unexpectedly, this year Zhou Erlang got mixed up with a county boy, which made him feel sour. No more.
Over there, Liu Heier's throat moved and he swallowed. It seemed that he was really kind in arranging himself to be the leader of the personal guard.
Liu Hei'er was surrendered to the Tang Dynasty because he was an abandoned son, but he was allowed to hold a sword and serve as a guard. Liu Hei'er no longer had any resistance. After hearing such narratives from several personal guards, Liu Hei'er was completely convinced.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Da added some firewood and looked at the sky, "Go back and have a good rest."
"Someone will call you in the morning."
"By the way, tomorrow you will select five tribesmen to serve as personal guards. They will be equipped with weapons and ready to obey orders at any time."
Liu Heier looked back at Zhang Zhongjian who was standing solemnly outside the tent, and then followed Zhu Ba and Zhao Da to a tent to rest.
In the past few days, there have been several battles. The generals of the Tang Army are all extraordinary generals. Liu Hei'er seemed to have won consecutive battles, but it was also quite difficult. Later, he was rejected by his colleagues and had to be captured. Today he found out that he He is an abandoned son... The continuous emotional changes made Liu Hei'er exhausted mentally and physically. It was difficult to fall asleep at first, but after falling asleep, he fell into a dead sleep until Zhu Ba pushed him awake.
"Are you resting?" Zhu Ba asked with a smile, pulling Liu Heier, who was dressed, and left. The wind and snow outside became stronger again, and the blowing ice on his face was cold.
"How's the war going?" Liu Heier hesitated before asking in a low voice.
"Brother Dingfang attacked fiercely yesterday, and Suo Zhou refused to retreat. The general manager of Longzhou, Guo Xiaoke, and Chang Shi Yang have already left Zhisheng Pass and Longshan Pass." Li Shanjie, who could not hide, said: "The war is at a stalemate."
"Li Zhengbao was captured and killed by Suo Zhou..." Liu Heier said hesitantly: "It's snowing heavily now. Your Highness, why don't you withdraw your troops for the time being? I will go to my uncle..."
Li Shan raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"
Fan Shiyi who came over bumped Liu Heier's ribs with his elbow and whispered something.
Liu Heier felt a little uncomfortable and lowered his head slightly, "Mr. Lang."
"Hahaha, among the first three leaders, Jun Hao is a sharp and brave general. Brother Dingfang and Zhang Sanlang are both famous generals. I hope you won't be compared with them." Li Shan laughed and then said: "Liang This official in Shidu is not mean and ungrateful, but he is very suspicious. Your uncle Liu Nuni has become the leader of the Jihu clan, right under Liang Shidu's nose, but if he acts rashly, he is afraid of being killed."
"Mr. Lang, everything is ready." Fan Shiyi interjected.
"Well, please sit down." Li Shan sat down first and waved to everyone. At this time, in addition to Li Shan, Liu Heier and others, there were also Duan Decao, Zhang Zhongjian, Qu Silang, Hou Hongtao and others in the big tent.
Liu Hei'er sat down with everyone, and more than a dozen soldiers came in carrying wooden barrels. After a while, four wooden plates were placed in front of Liu Hei'er, including rice, steamed buns, mutton, and a steaming fish. .
In fact, in this era, ordinary people rarely eat fish because it is fishy and tastes bland without oil. Even wealthy people often eat fish in fish soup or sashimi. The so-called braised fish is still from Dongshan Restaurant. spread.
This fish is braised fish, with oil, soy sauce, onions, garlic and ginger. The aroma hits the nose. Liu Heier immediately salivates in his mouth and moves his index finger.
Looking around, everyone looks the same. Tang Jun’s food is so good?
Liu Heier immediately rejected this possibility. How could the King of Handan afford an army of 30,000 people? It was unlikely that it would be just a personal guard. Otherwise, there would be resentment among the army, and the King of Handan would not be so unwise.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Heier said: "Lang Jun, if you don't withdraw your troops, my subordinates are willing to be the vanguard and behead Suo Zhou."
"How is it?" Li Shan smiled and looked at Zhang Zhongjian, "I just said that that day, this person is quite wise."
Zhang Zhongjian also showed a smile on his face, "No need to test, I will use you when I can."
"Eat quickly, the fish tastes much worse when it's cold." Li Shan picked up the chopsticks, "Everyone must finish it."
Liu Heier didn't say much, just picked up a steamed bun and ate it, sweeping it away like a storm. Even though he was originally the guard general of Nanguan Town, his daily food was not that good, let alone a braised fish.
In a daze, after several days in the Tang army, Liu Heier had noticed many differences between the Tang army and the Liang army. Stability, continuity, and purge were all things that the Liang army was difficult to achieve or unwilling to do.
