In the distant northwest army camp, the commander's tent.
Under the dim candlelight, the current leader of the Northwest Army, Hu Jingzhi, is an old general with white hair and gray beard. Frost is condensing. Lin Jingzhi is crouching beside the desk writing, his eyebrows are furrowed and his thoughts are wandering. far away.
This land in the northwest is not a good place. After the Shi family in the northwest retreated, the Northwest Army was directly taken over by the Ministry of War. The Holy Emperor appointed the Hussar General as the Northwest General to guard the northwest. However, the Cavalry General only served as the boss for three months. , before he had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the northwest, on a sunny afternoon, a poisoned feather arrow flew from the sky, and the hussar general was seriously injured and died of an unprovoked attack. Sure enough, there was infinite scenery on the dangerous peak.
He was ordered to accept the position of General of the Northwest in the face of danger. This was a great grace from the Holy One, and the Holy One favored him Hu Jingzhi.
Unfortunately, after he arrived, he discovered that the situation in the northwest was complicated, bandits were rampant, and the northwest was in chaos. It was no longer the peaceful paradise it was before.
He wrote stroke by stroke very slowly, and where he started writing, the capital word "quiet" appeared vigorous and powerful, penetrating through the back of the paper.
Hu Jingzhi's eyes burst out with a sharp light. He was an old man who was fearless and ambitious, with a calm mind and neither arrogance nor shame.
"General, General Sheng and General Lin are asking for an audience." The soldier at the door reported. Before he could finish speaking, two figures had already lifted the curtain and came in.
"General, you are so elegant." One of the men said with a smile. This man's name was Shengming Kuang. He was originally the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Prefecture, but after the Shi family withdrew from the northwest, he suddenly went to the northwest and became the commander-in-chief. He was about forty years old and had a strong build. He is powerful, and at first glance, he seems to be very easy to get along with; this is just his appearance, but in fact, just by looking at his flexible eyes, you can see that he is an unusually smart person.
He is tactful and good at ingratiating himself with others, which is his specialty.
He smiled and continued: "I have long heard that General Hu's wonderful calligraphy is unparalleled in the world. Today I saw it and it is indeed well-deserved. If I can get the calligraphy treasure, I will be lucky for the rest of my life."
Hu Jingzhi sneered in his heart. He was just a martial artist. He could practice calligraphy in his free time and become the best in the world. This was too much to praise. He knew his own weight. Hu Jingzhi didn't show it on his face. He said happily: "You like it, so I'll give it to you."
The grand occasion was overjoyed when he heard this, and he did not forget to compliment him. He praised Hu Jingzhi as one of the few people in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with famous people in the world.
Another general, Yang Jiamin, sneered in his heart. Hu Jingzhi's handwriting is not the best in the world. It is his skill of flattering horses in grand situations that is the best in the world. No wonder he can get the common sense of his cousin, the chief minister, who is three thousand miles away. You have to look like a person.
"General, my subordinates have recently discovered that bandits are infested in the Xishan area. Please order them to be exterminated." Yang Jiamin cupped his fists and reported.
"General Yang, thank you for your hard work, patrolling day and night to protect the tranquility of the northwest. However, I heard that there was a bandit in Hanguang Town recently who robbed the caravan's property. Is this possible?" Hu Jingzhi did not mention the bandits in Xishan, but instead talked about the recent few The caravan that happened last month was robbed very much.
"General, my subordinates have found out that the caravan was robbed by the Xishan bandits. This group of people committed crimes by burning, killing, robbing and frightening. They have already robbed a lot of the caravan's property. They are also cunning by nature and will not be eliminated several times. They all escaped, so I ask the general to allow us to send troops to destroy them." Sheng Kuang reported back.
"Is that true?" Hu Jingzhi looked at Yang Jiamin with obvious disbelief in his words. Do you think he is a fool? The Xishan area is a day's distance from Hanguang Town, and the mountain road is difficult to travel. Could it be that the robbers in Xishan robbed the money in Hanguang Town and walked a day's journey to escape back to Xishan.
Yang Jiamin lowered his head, "They are the bandits from Xishan. Please ask General Wei to go out again. General Wei will surely capture the bandit leader alive."
"Let me go. General Yang is working hard on patrol. Let me do such a small thing and wipe out that group of scourges." Sheng Kuang took the initiative and expressed his desire to take credit.
"I'm familiar with the terrain, so it's most appropriate for me to go." Yang Jiamin said, not giving in an inch.
Hu Jingzhi's face turned cold. Before he, the boss, could say anything, these two were fighting over each other. Do you really think he was just an empty air? He didn't know what the two of them were thinking. They were all members of the Liu family, and they were all in the same league.
"Stop arguing, you two go together. We must level the Western Mountains and restore peace to the people." Hu Jingzhi said and sent the two of them down.
The two came out of the tent and said to Liu Jiamin with a grand smile: "Brother Liu, what do you have to argue with me? We both work for my cousin, so we should work together to capture the northwest." Although he smiled, it was a smile. Zaozam was obviously very dissatisfied with him.
"Hmph! Since you know, why are you still fighting with me?" Liu Jiamin refused to accept it. He couldn't tell what Sheng Cheng was thinking. He wanted to make more achievements in front of Master Liu and strive to become the master of the northwest in the future.
Since the Shi family retreated to the northwest, although the Holy Emperor ordered the Ministry of War to take over, he knew in his heart that sooner or later, the northwest would be under the control of Master Liu. If he didn't appoint an appointed general, he would die for no reason. This northwest is Master Liu. No one can eat the meat in your eyes.
Hu Jingzhi is also temporary. When the time comes, he will naturally go somewhere. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. He has been working hard to accumulate military merit and strive for it. The purpose is to be appreciated by Lord Liu and take the leadership of the Northwest Army; if this idea is In the past, he would have thought it was a whim. He was just a soldier when he joined the army. He worked hard in the northwest for ten years and rose from a soldier to a general. He originally thought that was the end, but he didn't expect that his cousin from the same clan would actually become a soldier. After marrying Liu's daughter, Liu's family turned from a humble family into a noble family. He transformed into a general and was overjoyed from the sky. Hard work is really not as good as good luck, and good life is not as good as good marriage.
No, it’s about marrying well.
The extravagant hopes of the past were within reach, and a soldier who didn't want to be a general was not a good soldier. Liu Jiamin felt that he could give it a try and win huge wealth for himself. You know if you don't fight for it, you don't know if you have a chance; and the grand occasion is staring at him. , relying on the distant relative relationship with Mr. Liu who is three thousand miles away, he wants to ride on his head and compete with him in everything.
Humph, don't even think about it. We are both from the Liu family, no one is afraid of the other.
The two of them had the same purpose, so they parted on bad terms.
In Hu Jingzhi's tent, after Sheng Kuang and Liu Jiamin left, Shi Tingyu walked out from behind the screen. It turned out that he had been in the tent just now, and every move of Sheng and Liu was under his gaze. under.
"Your Majesty." Hu Jingzhi saluted with clasped fists and a respectful and excited tone.
"Uncle Hu, please don't do this, Tingyu doesn't dare to take it seriously." Shi Tingyu quickly supported the old man.
"Your Majesty, you are being polite. This is what you should do." Hu Jingzhi showed a look of relief. He was a man who followed the old master in the war. He had watched Shi Tingyu grow up, and he was also the one who witnessed the young general taking orders in the face of danger. Saved the country from crisis.
Shi Tingyu's prestige was established in the war, and everyone in the Northwest Army disrespected him. In Hu Jingzhi's heart, apart from the old Hou Ye, it was the Prince who admired him the most.
