"Among the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, I have never heard of this person. I don't know his background." Song Xin looked at Wei Tong.
"He is Wei Tong. He was originally a heroic knight in Yingchuan and was born in the Wei family of Yingchuan. Later, Lord Xun saw his bravery and bravery, so he recommended him to the prime minister. After the prime minister saw him, he loved his martial arts skills and first made him a halberd-bearing halberd. Lang, later accompanied the army to fight against Yuan Shao, and went on an expedition against Wuhuan. He made many military exploits and was appointed the Qingqi Captain of Yingyang County." said a veteran next to Song Xin.
Song Xin didn't know much about official positions in this period, so he could only ask for more advice.
"I see, brother, I have just joined the army. What is the official position of Captain?"
"A long time ago, a captain was considered a high official, with a salary of two thousand stone. But now that the government is in chaos and officials are being appointed everywhere, this official position is small. Song Chou in our county also got the title of captain, and his subordinates There are only three to four hundred people, most of them prisoners, and they don't even have enough clothes and armor."
"Oh, that's it. Aren't these three or four hundred people here to die?"
"Haha, the Wei family gave Song Chou a lot of money and food this time."
Song Xin laughed sarcastically and imagined Song Chou showing off with a group of disheveled prisoners. The Wei family funded him, but they had too much money and no place to spend it. Investment also requires a return, and the Wei family's vision is really bad.
"But it seems that Captain Wei doesn't have any official airs towards my cousin and Brother Li Cheng."
"He is the captain of Yingyang County, Yingchuan County. His official position is not high, but he has an extraordinary status in the counties around Xudu. I also heard that he is a popular man among the prime ministers. Even the generals, I’m also quite respectful to him.”
Song Xin was overjoyed, "Then I must make some friends, so I can enjoy the shade with my back against the big tree."
"Huh? What you said is wonderful, little brother." The veteran praised.
While Song Xin was inquiring about the news, Wei Tong also introduced the current battle situation to Song Ya and others.
The navy army confronted the southern army in Chibi. Wei Tong's task was to contact various grain and grass transport teams to gather in Xiangyang, and then transfer them to Jiangling Camp to support the army.
Wei Tong sent out more than a thousand athletes under his command to deliver the news and guide the troops to the assembly area.
Otherwise, if those baggage teams who do not know the situation of the battle stray into the enemy's sphere of influence, they will become enemies.
And he himself only led less than a hundred cavalry to patrol along the official road. Unexpectedly, he encountered Song Ya's team.
When brothers meet, it's natural to have a good talk.
After making arrangements for the night, brothers Song Ya, Wei Tong and Li Cheng sat down next to a small fire to rest. First, he told Wei Tong in detail what happened on the road. Although Wei Tong was a heroic martial artist, he had only heard about the monsters and had never encountered them before. He even gasped when he was nervous.
"Well, your clan brother is really courageous. Why don't you invite him to meet me?"
"Brother Wei, this incident on the road was all thanks to my brother. Otherwise, these hundreds of people would have been killed by that monster."
"Brother Song Xin, I didn't expect that at such a young age, you could sacrifice yourself to save others and be so chivalrous. Wei Tong admires you."
"Brother Wei, please don't try to hurt me. Brother Song Ya is also a brother in our clan. I will help him even if it costs me my life."
"Haha, I like your little brother, you have my taste. My little brother and I hit it off right away. Everyone is here today. How about Wei and you become brothers? What do you think?"
When Song Xin heard that people at this time really liked to be sworn friends, but he really admired Wei Tong's character, so he agreed without thinking.
Wei Tong was overjoyed. He brought some wine and made sworn vows to Song Xin.
"By the way, my brother is not working and studying at home, why did he come to join the army?"
When Song Xin was about to answer, Song Ya whispered: "Brother Wei doesn't know something, because my uncle Song disappeared during the expedition two years ago... Later, the government secretly sold him to the Wei family to have a baby..." Song Ya told Wei Tong everything he knew.
Wei Tong's brows gradually furrowed as he listened, "Wei family? Before I came here, I met a group of people who were said to be the Juancheng Wei family. Could it be them?"
"Well, it's indeed them."
"I never expected that the descendants of Wei Xuan's family would have such scum." Wei Tong cursed.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, hungry people have been displaced everywhere, many people have lost their livelihoods, and the buying and selling of raw materials has occurred from time to time. However, it is relatively rare for people in the government to sell death row prisoners privately.
"Brother Wei, do you know a man named Song Chou?"
Wei Tong shook his head and said: "Nowadays, in the army, there are people from all over the country, and he is only a captain of a small county. But this matter is easy to handle. I will go find someone to ask about it. When I arrive in Jingzhou, I will follow I am." Wei Tong said boldly.
Song Xin was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
"I heard from Song Ya that brother Song Xin is very good at martial arts. I wonder where he learned it?" Wei Tong asked again.
"To be honest with my two brothers, Tuoye taught me how to practice horn fighting when I was in the Wei family. I learned it for about a year. Later, when I was hiding in the mountains, I often chased roe deer and wild deer. But when it comes to killing the enemy in battle, But I haven’t experienced it yet.”
"Is it that Tuoye?" Li Cheng asked as he glanced at the silent woman warming herself by the fire in the distance.
"Well, it's her."
"I didn't expect that she has the ability to fight with horns." Li Cheng admired.
Song Ya cursed: "However, it seems that she is still going to find Wei Qi. I don't know what good can come from following that coward."
Wei Tong felt that the atmosphere was a little bad, so he laughed and interrupted: "I also heard that the Xianbei people are good at riding, shooting and fighting. It is also very popular among my Han army."
"I wonder how these brothers met each other?" Song Xin asked.
"Let me tell you about this, haha. Back then, Li Cheng and I went to the north to escort grain. On the way, we encountered the remnants of the Yellow Turban bandits, dozens of people gathered in the mountains and forests, trying to rob the army grain. I refused, so I started fighting with them. Unexpectedly, These thieves are not weak in martial arts, and the food transport soldiers were unable to resist them."
"Later, Brother Wei happened to be passing by with his team. Seeing that we couldn't resist, he charged into the battle group with his sword. The bandits couldn't resist, threw a few corpses and ran away. The two of us were grateful to Brother Wei for drawing his sword to help, so we worshiped He was the eldest brother. Later, the three of me felt that keeping these thieves here would be a disaster, so we followed them to their lair, entered the thieves' lair at night, and destroyed the gang of thieves."
"Hahaha, Wei Tong was also very happy in that battle. By the way, I didn't even get a greeting gift when I saw my little brother today."
After saying that, Wei Tong went to take out a sword from under the saddle and pulled it out. The sword was cold and very sharp.
This is a sword that Wei Tong has used for many years. Due to proper maintenance, the sword is as bright as new and the blade has no defects. The hilt of this sword is longer than ordinary swords and can be held with both hands. The handle is carefully tied with thin cowhide rope mixed with linen silk, so it will not slip when held for a long time.
"This sword is made of the finest Dushan iron and has been forged thousands of times. When I was a ranger, I used this sword to defend myself and kill enemies. At that time, Mr. Wen Ruo changed the name of this sword."
"Oh, what's your name?" Song Xin and Song Ya asked in unison.
"This sword has two edges, one is called 'Benevolence and Righteousness', and the other is called 'Injustice'." If little brother can guess the meaning of this name, how about giving this sword to you? "
