Han You didn't notice that there was a very strange look staring at him from behind the resentful commander Ren Canglin.
This look came from the deputy border commander Tang Qingfeng. There were three points of confusion, three points of rejection, and seven points of dissatisfaction in his eyes. That's right, a total of twelve points, one point more than ten points.
Ren Canglin, like a grieving woman who had been a widow for many years, took Han You's arm and climbed up to the tower, chattering as she walked.
Back then, your father and I were both called Hu Tuyu.
Han You was confused, what did he mean?
The old man became proud and began to popularize science. The door god originated in the Western Han Dynasty. There was a warrior named Cheng Qing who was the first door god. His portrait was posted on the door to ward off diseases. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the custom of hanging the door god became popular, but it was not Cheng Qing. , but the two brothers Shen Tu and Yu Lei.
According to legend, in ancient times, these two men were a pair of brothers who were good at catching ghosts. After catching them, they fed them to tigers. Later, in order to drive away ghosts and punish evil, people hung their portraits on their doors.
In Nanguan, the two of them are like door gods who catch ghosts and punish evildoers. They guard the gate of Chengguan, so they are called Hu Tuyu.
Then the old man continued to ramble. Back then, the two of them cooperated very well in the battle formation and were invincible in every attack. The aliens came to kill him. He was guarding the city wall while Han Bairen rushed out and beat the aliens like he was chopping melons and vegetables...
The border troops went out, and Han Bairen charged into the battle, beating the aliens like he was chopping melons and vegetables...
Entering the mountains, Han Bai led his elite men to chase the aliens like they were chopping melons and vegetables...
Han You was confused again, what are you doing?
The old man said, I...watched Han Bairen chopping melons and vegetables.
In short, the old man said that he and Han Bairen were very fierce, he was very fierce, and Han Bairen was fierce. He was everywhere, but it seemed that he was the same without him.
To be honest, Ren Canglin was also very fierce, mainly because he was not so fierce compared to Han Bairen. Not everyone dared to lead thousands of cavalry into an army formation of tens of thousands of people.
If Lao Ren was not fierce, he would not be able to serve as commander-in-chief. Before the end of the previous dynasty, the previous commander-in-chief died in battle. Tao Xiu, the previous deputy commander-in-chief, was Han Bairen's "Bo Le". He was ill in bed for a long time, removed his armor and retired. Before he retired, The designated successor is Ren Canglin.
At this time, it coincided with the end of the previous dynasty, and the court battles intensified. There was no conclusion on the position of commander-in-chief, so Ren Canglin temporarily replaced the commander-in-chief as deputy commander-in-chief.
Afterwards, Zhou Ke wore a yellow robe and appointed Ren Canglin as the border commander almost without thinking.
It is worth mentioning that before Ren Canglin became the deputy commander, that is, when he was the commander of the Gongma Battalion, he was the oldest and had outstanding military exploits.
At that time, the border generals and even the military department of the imperial court wanted him to serve as deputy commander-in-chief and then become commander-in-chief.
However, the old man was stubborn and always refused. After that, there was really no one in Nanguan who could take charge of the overall situation, so he took office.
With the current Great Zhou Dynasty plus the previous dynasties, if we were to select a few famous generals who could fight, Ren Canglin would definitely be among the best.
The reason why Zhou Ke made him the commander-in-chief of the border is because this old guy is indeed very fierce and can defend the city very fiercely. As long as the court's food and grass can keep up and there are no internal problems, Ren Canglin will not make any mistakes if he is in charge of the border.
Unknowingly, Han You had followed the old commander Ren Canglin to the highest tower.
Once on the city tower, the chattering and resentful old handsome man's demeanor suddenly changed, and he no longer looked like he was chatting incessantly just now.
"That's where you want to break through."
"So many?" Han You took a breath.
The matter was much more serious than he thought. He had just seen a group of generals laughing and joking, and thought that the so-called "knocking off the gate" was not a big deal. When he came to the city wall and took a look, he was really shocked.
There was an endless stretch of fire. There were tents five or six miles away, and they were all aliens. You couldn't see their faces, you couldn't see their figures, you could only see a blurry figure, one by one, one by one, the fire almost stretched to The end of sight.
"This..." Han You's heart was beating wildly: "How many people are there?"
"At sunset, Gu Lin used some military skills to observe and saw that there were already 40,000 troops, let alone 40,000 troops."
"Who is Gu Lin?"
"This is my commander, Tang Qingfeng."
Tang Qingfeng, who had been standing next to the old commander like a shadow, looked at Han You expressionlessly, neither coldly nor warmly.
Han You quickly raised his hand and said, "It turns out to be Deputy Commander Tang. I'm disrespectful."
Logically speaking, Han You was "disrespectful and disrespectful", so Tang Qingfeng had to say "I have admired him for a long time".
In the end, this guy just nodded slightly, as if he was a superior leader.
This made Han You couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
How could he not know Tang Qingfeng's name? He could be said to be the youngest third-grade general in the previous and current dynasties. He was only thirty-five years old and was born into a general. It is said that he joined the army with his father at the age of twelve.
However, Han You has no favorable impression of young people and those in high positions. He believes that young people have little experience and experience. The younger and the higher the official position, the more likely they are to be idiots, because he is referring to himself, who is such a thing.
The Tang family is one of the aristocratic families in the South, and it is also the most unusual family.
Other aristocratic families are developing in the "literary" field, controlling scholars, extending their tentacles to the imperial court in Beijing, etc. No matter how bad they are, they control local officialdom. The Tang family is different. The Tang family accepts death and joins the army. No one can stop them, and they also study. , study not for scientific examination, but for joining the army.
The Tang family is not a traditional family. They don't have many branches or marriages, and they just hang out in the military.
Grandpa Tang Qingfeng's great-grandfather's great-grandfather was once a minister of Conglong of the founding ancestor of the previous dynasty, and achieved the position of border commander.
When it comes to Tang Qingfeng's generation, it can basically be said that the strong master wins the ancestor. As long as he lives for another ten or twenty years, if no big accident occurs, he will also become the border coach.
Han You always felt that this guy was a little hostile to him. He couldn't explain why, but he also felt a little displeased with this guy.
First of all, everyone wears armor, but this guy is wearing a Confucian robe, or a white Confucian robe, holding a scabbard in his hand. Although he doesn't look like Wen Qi, who kills men and women, at least he looks better than Wen Qi. Ninety-nine percent of men are handsome, mainly because they are taller and handsomer than Han You.
The other one is his temperament, as if everyone owes him tens of thousands of coins.
Seeing Han You looking straight at him, Tang Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and looked at the aliens outside the city where the firelight and the tents were connected, his eyes calm.
Han You didn't think much, looked at Ren Canglin and asked a lot of unnecessary nonsense.
"Can we hold on?"
Ren Canglin laughed loudly, and Tang Qingfeng also showed a hint of sarcasm.
Han You's eyes lit up: "A piece of cake?"
"At the border, the soldiers never asked whether they could defend the foreign barbarians."
"Then what's the question?"
"My sons." Ren Canglin turned to look at the border generals and lieutenants, and said loudly: "Inform the emperor's own army, General Han, that foreign barbarians are attacking. What should we say?"
Countless people roared together, their shouts shaking the sky.
"The long sword and the fierce horse block the torrent, and I build the city gate with my flesh and blood. The southern army will be victorious, whether alive or dead. The fate of the soldier is victory!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The sound is victorious and the sound shakes the world.
"The long sword and the fierce horse block the torrent, and I build the city gate with my flesh and blood."
Han You recited it silently, his heart surging. Life is the destiny of the army, and death is the destiny of the army. He is fearless in life and death. He just wants to win and win.
Ren Canglin smiled, showing an expression of reminiscence.
But the deputy commander Tang Qingfeng shook his head slightly.
Because this sentence is the inheritance of Nanguan.
Because, Nanguan has too many marks of Han Bairen.
Because, long swords and fierce horses block the torrent, I build the city gate with flesh and blood. These are the heroic words that Han Bairen shouted when he led the troops in the pass for the first time out of the city to hunt down the foreigners. Countless Southern troops have firmly remembered them in their hearts.
Only victory, no matter life or death, this is the belief of the frontier army, only victory!
Han You would never have dreamed that these words would come from his own father, who could even write Shen Tu Gang as the "Fourth Righteous One Who Hounds the Corpse".
