In the open space, Wu Gen and Gan Xing were both bruised and exhausted. No one begged for mercy and admitted defeat. They just attacked based on instinct, not seeking defense, just hoping that their opponents could not survive first.
Yu Wenyan and Zhai Lin both stood up and looked towards the field with serious expressions.
Countless pairs of eyes on both sides looked at the two people in the field, all with respect. The most respected man in the army is this kind of man who would rather die than surrender. No matter who wins or loses, he is always a strong and good man.
When everyone found it unbearable, the sound of fighting disappeared, and the two finally separated, each falling to the ground motionless. The surroundings were eerily quiet, and even the sound of swallowing could be heard clearly.
As he was looking around, he saw a thin figure getting up shakily.
Wu Gen slowly crawled up to Gan Xing and punched him lightly. The force of this punch was pitifully weak, and I'm afraid it couldn't even kill an ant.
Gan Xing moved his fingers a few times, but finally did not lift them.
Wu Gen slowly got up. His face was bruised and swollen, and his eyes were almost slits. He looked around hard, faced the direction of Zhao Guo, and slowly raised his right hand.
Wow, thunderous cheers rang out from Zhao Guo’s side.
Won.
Wu Gen turned around with difficulty, walked to Gan Xing, and sat down. Although this man beat himself so miserably, he had no resentment in his heart. The other party has been fighting openly and openly without any tricks. Although he barely won, the other party is by no means a loser.
Inexplicably, Wu Gen felt some sympathy for each other.
"In today's battle, I used some tricks and luckily succeeded. I hope Gantun will grow up." Wu Gen tried his best to open his eyes and sighed.
After waiting for a long time, Gan Xing finally regained his breath, sighed, and said intermittently: "What...what a trick. Today you showed your enemy weakness, and you cleverly used the right time and place to win.
If it is a trick, any general should learn this trick. Although I am a little unwilling, I did lose today. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, don't worry, I won't make such a mistake again. You have to be careful. "
Wu Gen chuckled and said: "Wait for you to come and take my head from my neck. I'm afraid you don't have the courage. In the future, if you can't afford to fight, you can come and drink with me." As he said this, he stretched out a hand and held Gan's head. Xing's uninjured left hand.
Gan Xing grinned with difficulty, "Okay, I'll get the enemy chief's head on the battlefield. Don't worry, if it's convenient, I will find you. I will make up for my loss this time with wine."
With a strong effort, Wu Gen slowly pulled Gan Xing up.
"See you later."
"certainly."
The two looked at each other and each staggered towards their own camp. Several people quickly ran out from the camp, supported Wu Gen, and picked up the broken knife and exquisite armor.
When they arrived at the camp, Colonel Yuwen had already led his people to wait outside the tent. As soon as he saw the other party, Wu Gen spoke with difficulty, "Sir, it's fortunate that Gen has fulfilled his mission."
Seeing Wu Gen's miserable appearance, Yu Wenyan, who had always been reserved and calm, was rarely a little excited, "Thank you for your hard work, Commander Wu. You have made great contributions to the Zhao State in this battle. Don't worry, you will be rewarded heavily when you return."
As he spoke, he turned around and scanned the surrounding officers, "Everyone, this is the elite of the army and the pillar of the country. If our troops are so eager to take the lead and are not afraid of death, how can they be afraid of the army and horses of the Great Xia Kingdom? This matter should be vigorously publicized so that everyone can Everyone in the Xiang army knows that they take Wu Gen as their role model and strive to be the first to show off the power of our army."
Seeing that the other party was talking endlessly, he seemed to want to talk at length and set himself up as a role model in the military. When Wu Gen heard this, his head hurt, his body tilted, and he collapsed.
Yu Wenyan stepped forward and grabbed Wu Gen's hand, with a concerned look on his face, "But because of the serious injury, come on, send Wu Commander back quickly and find the best military doctor for treatment." Hearing this, everyone present was relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no longer had to listen to the high-minded talk of the captain.
When Wu Gen was carried away, Yu Wenyan couldn't help but look unhappy when he saw his subordinates also dispersed, "Everyone, I still have a few things to explain..."
The generals present looked bitter, and had no choice but to stay and endure Captain Yuwen's spit.
Wu Gen was sent back to the camp, and under the orders of the captain, he naturally enjoyed unprecedented treatment. Good medicines are available for free, and all kinds of delicacies and wines are available. Even people help with urination. Wu Gen, who has been used to living a hard life by himself since childhood, is really not used to it.
At night on the third day, Zhang Yuan slipped over. Looking at the broken bones thrown all over the floor, Wu Gen, who was still holding the chicken legs and gnawing fiercely, couldn't help but frowned and said: "You are so seriously injured, and you still eat and drink indiscriminately."
Wu Gen said vaguely: "I don't care, I shed blood for the Xiang Army, I shed blood for the Zhao State..."
"Okay, okay, stop it. I was originally thinking about your injury, but it seems there's no need to ask." Zhang Yuan grabbed a leg of lamb and took a bite.
Wu Gen looked at the door and whispered: "Master Zhang, can you allow me to go back to Fumingguan to recuperate? It's like being in prison here. I even go to the toilet for fear that I will fall. If this continues, sooner or later I will have to Suffocated to death.”
Zhang Yuan glared, "Who dares to let you go now? You must know that you are a model of the Xiang army appointed by the captain. If something goes wrong, I, the commander of the camp, will not be able to do it anymore."
Wu Gen lamented, "This role model will do whatever he wants. He has to pretend to be serious all day long. It is simply more uncomfortable than killing me. Lao Zhang, please let me go, I can't stand it anymore." .”
"Then let me ask the music leader? See if he dares to let you go back." Zhang Yuan hesitated. He knew Wu Gen's temper best, so it was indeed a bit difficult to lock him up here.
"Okay, okay, I'll pack my luggage tonight and wait for the good news." Wu Gen agreed hastily.
"You have made such a great contribution this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Fuming Pass any longer." Zhang Yuan looked at Wu Gen's excited face and poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Why..." As soon as the words came out, Wu Gen also came to his senses. He had become a role model this time and could no longer stay in a remote place like Fuming Pass. Wouldn't that have ruined Captain Yuwen's face? . In a hurry, he asked, "Can you think of a way not to be transferred?"
"No." Zhang Yuan said angrily: "What's so good about Fuming Pass? The yin is deep and the surroundings are desolate. It's possible that you are hiding something there."
Wu Gen lay slumped on the ground, "What can I do? You and Qu Chang have both seen it, but after a long time, I really have some feelings." Suddenly he sat up, "Why don't you let Mo Xin take over from me? The general layout for him is clear. In addition, Lao Mo has been in the army for many years and was captured by Daxia Kingdom last time. He suffered a lot of grievances. Can he be given a job as a corps commander?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I will go find the composer tomorrow. I will let you know whether I am accurate or not."
The next day, Jin Song, who didn't know how Zhang Yuan deceived him, actually agreed to Wu Gen's return to Fuming Pass. Overjoyed, Wu Gen, under the personal escort of Chief Zhang, finally returned to his long-cherished home, Fuming Pass.
Zhang Yuan didn't want to stay here, so he returned the same day.
Lying on the recliner under the locust tree, Wu Gen stretched out comfortably, "Ouch." He couldn't help but shout out. This time he fought against Gan Xing, and the injury was really serious. A little effort could pull the injury away. .
The days of recuperating from his injuries were naturally uneventful. Wu Gen took half a Yuhua Pill and his body was fine. He just needed to take care of himself.
On this day, a horse came down the mountain. Wu Gen was delighted when he saw it. It was Mo Xin who came. It seemed that his deadline was near.
As soon as Mo Xin was admitted to the hospital, he patted his waist proudly, "Ahem, Wu Gen, we also have a corps commander, and we are also the leader." He took off the corps commander's token. , flashed in front of Wu Gen’s eyes.
Of course Wu Gen understood the reason. Zhang Yuan was quite efficient in doing things. He smiled and said, "I'll be polite to you, Mr. Mo Wu." He was about to bow down.
Mo Xin quickly stopped him, "Yes, your kid is going to be promoted soon. I received this gift from you today and I don't know when I will make up for it. Don't be fooling me. Today we are both blessed with a double happiness. Bring out the good wine and drink it well." A meal.”
This was a matter of course. The two of them didn't cook. They just had a few pickles and drank in the courtyard.
"But you know where I will be transferred." After three drinks, Wu Gen asked.
"I heard that he is going to be transferred to Xiaowei's Mansion. As for joining the army, he is in the same position as Lin Ruoshi. If that is the case, you should be careful. In Xiaowei's Mansion, it is not like our Xiangjun. Everyone is Human essence, the soft knife was handed very hard.
You have a temper that is used to being lazy, and you will offend people even if you don't even think about it. It's not what my brother said about you. When you get to the mansion, you have to change your temper. Don't act like a fool all day long. "Mo Xin said with a serious look on his face, sincerely.
"Hey, when did our Captain Mo change his temper? I know, when I get to the mansion, I have to be careful and careful not to be fooled." Wu Gen waved his hand impatiently. When I joined the army, I was mostly engaged in clerical matters. I didn't know a few Chinese characters, so I didn't know what Captain Yuwen was thinking.
He said that it had to be Captain Yuwen's intention. He just asked him to arrange a position, and he took advantage of the situation and arranged to join the army. Thinking that Colonel Yuwen's goal has been achieved and he has added a lot to his resume, he will naturally not pay more attention to Wu Gen's situation.
Two days later, the army finally sent a document. Wu Gen went to Dingyuan City to take up a post in the captain's mansion. There was no need to go back to the Xiang army and he could just go directly. After handing over some things with Mo Xin, Wu Gen packed up his things and rode to Dingyuan City.
When they arrived at the city gate, the gatekeepers heard that the model in the army had arrived, and they all crowded up to watch.
"I heard that Wu Gen has three heads and six arms. He can eat a whole sheep in one meal. Why does he look like a weak boy?"
"Yes, yes, he is no different from you and my brothers. It seems that we can also take this as a role model."
In the midst of the discussion, Wu Gen inquired about the location of the Hao Xiaowei's mansion, urged his horse into the city, and headed straight to the west of the city.
The west of the city is where the government offices are concentrated, where the county guards and school captains all work. When we arrived at Xiaowei's Mansion, it was very impressive. Through the white courtyard wall, you can see the green tiles and red roofs inside, with the overhanging eaves reflecting the sky. There is a huge white tower on the east side, and four soldiers holding swords stand in front of two huge red doors.
Wu Gen came forward with the document in hand. The soldier guarding the door took it and looked at it carefully for a long time before being led in by one person. When we walked to the second courtyard, the man pointed to a row of side rooms and said, "This is the military room. Your Excellency will work here in the future."
"Oh, thank you very much." Wu Gen cupped his hands at the man and walked towards the wing. Looking back, the person leading the way was still standing there, blinking at him.
"Brother, my affairs here are over, please come back."
Seeing that Wu Gen didn't understand the rules, the man had to remind him: "Your Excellency, your future is boundless when you take office here. According to the past rules, every new person who takes office must be given some wedding money." He looked straight at it. Wu Gen.
"Oh, there are still such rules. Okay, just do as the Romans do when you are in the countryside. Here, here are some joys for you." Wu Gen said, taking out two copper coins from his waist and placing them solemnly in the man's hands.
The person leading the way couldn't help but smile. In the past, every person who came and went would throw out a huge ingot of silver. Today, I met a very stingy guy. The brothers at the door couldn't even get enough of these two copper coins, and they might even think they had stolen them.
Seeing Wu Gen walking towards the military room with square steps, the man turned around depressedly and muttered: "You don't know the rules, let's see how long you can stay here." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
