Chapter 510: Start

The two had worked together in Shannan County for five years and got along very well. He Yangguang did not shy away from Lu Chao. He took off his armor in front of him, took off the towel from the guard on the side, wiped his face, and watched Lu Chao: "It's already at this point, why haven't you gone back yet? Even if you are young and strong, you have to take your time. In the past few months, you have been busy during the day, and after you go back at night, you still keep filial piety for your father. You've lost a lot of weight. I don't want you to fall ill. It's hard for someone else to match your abilities. Even if you are a top talent, you won't be able to take over for a while. Now is a critical period, and you can't do anything. trouble."

"Thank you for your concern, Sheriff." Lu Chao bowed and said, "I stayed here to wait for the Sheriff because I have something to ask of the Sheriff."

"Between you and me, what else can we ask for?" He Yangguang laughed, threw the towel in his hand to the guard, suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said in surprise as if he remembered something: "Lu Sima, today This is really rare. It seems that you have never asked me for anything except business matters in the past two years. Is this for personal matters today? "

"Yes." Lu Chao said: "Someone was sent over from Gaoyuan in western Liaoning. They said that because of my father's affairs, my mother no longer wanted to stay in western Liaoning and wanted to come to me, so he sent two hundred cavalry to escort her all the way. My mother is coming."

He Yangguang was stunned, "That's it. Speaking of it, Gaoyuan can be regarded as emphasizing love and justice. Do you want to..."

"Judy, it's a long journey coming from western Liaoning. The messenger said that he set off five days in advance, so now my mother is only five or six days away from here. But you also know that the last five or six days of the journey are On the contrary, it is the most difficult thing to do. There are many horse bandits, and the escort is only 200 cavalry. And I heard from the messenger that this time my mother came with all her belongings, and there were dozens of carriages. I was a little worried. "

He Yangguang nodded, of course he knew that the last stretch of the journey was difficult. Because of those horse bandits. They were all raised by the Qin people, and these horse bandits could not afford to offend them, the Qin people. But there is no problem in continuing to harass Zhao Ren, not to mention, He Yangguang can also be allowed to train his recruits, killing two birds with one stone.

"I'm about to lead my troops out to suppress a few groups of horse bandits, and by the way, I'll wipe out those few uneasy small tribes. I will send a team to meet them. Don't worry, since Gao Yuan is the escort The people sent by your mother must be elite, and two hundred cavalry are not too few," He Yangguang said.

"Thank you so much, Sheriff. I don't know how many people the Sheriff is planning to take when he goes out for training this time. Where can I prepare the food and grass?" Lu Chao was overjoyed at this. Then you can sit back and relax.

"I will take away all the cavalry. In addition, I will take out three thousand infantry. You prepare three days' rations for each of them. No, two days will be enough. I will feed the rest on those Huns." He Yangguang He laughed evilly.

Lu Chao understood that the small tribes targeted by He Yangguang this time would inevitably be extinct.

However, he doesn't have a good impression of the Huns. If they are not from my race, they must have different feelings. Unfortunately, they are always killed, but if they can kill a few more, there will always be fewer hidden dangers.

"There are still three thousand infantry left in the city, commanded by deputy general Zhou Cheng." He Yangguang said with a smile: "Didn't you complain last time that there were not enough cattle for farming after the spring started? This time I will bring some back for you, but those Huns The cattle have not been tamed. After they come back, if they are to be effective next spring, they will still have to work hard. "

"Thank you so much, Sheriff!" Lu Chao said happily: "Training is not a problem. We have so many experienced people here. If there are enough cattle, we can reclaim more wasteland next year. In another year or two, we will Shannan County will be self-sufficient.”

"That depends on your ability, Lu Sima!" He Yangguang laughed.

"As long as the court continues to move people here and there are enough people, everything will be fine. I have written to the court, asking the court to send all the prisoners who are not guilty of death to Shannan County. I want the court to Adults should not refuse.”

"Of course they won't refuse." He Yangguang said: "You vacated the cell for them, and it's too late for them to thank you. The cell is not overcrowded now, but have you ever thought about it, among these guys, there are not the most vicious ones. Master, aren't you afraid that they will cause you trouble when you get here?"

Lu Chao sneered, "Shannan County is not like other places. This place is now under military control. If there is a general here, what should I be afraid of? The crimes they committed must be carried out in accordance with the law in the mainland. The crimes may not lead to death, but here, But what is practiced is military law. Anyone who dares to cause trouble or refuse to obey discipline will have his head chopped off in public. "

"You are much more murderous now than when you first came here!" He Yangguang laughed, "You are no longer the humble young master you were at the beginning."

Lu Chao touched his face, "I would like to be a Qianqian son, but I don't look like him now!"

Looking at Lu Chao's face that was red from the cold, as well as the frostbite on his ears and hands, He Yangguang nodded with satisfaction, "It is true that not many scholars can suffer such hardships as you, but you are a close disciple of the Li family, I Not so surprised anymore.”

Lu Chao said goodbye and left. His hands and feet were indeed very fast. He had prepared two days of rations that night and sent them to He Yangguang's camp at dawn the next day. While standing on the top of the city of Shannan County and watching the army walk out of Shannan City, Lu Chao couldn't help but feel excited. When they came back, he would be able to see his mother. By the way, not only the mother, but also the father's ashes. The mother also brought the father's ashes, and Zhang Zhuo, the murderer who directly killed his father, wanted to chop this bastard into pieces one by one.

Thinking of this, Lu Chao clenched his fists fiercely.

He studied with Li Ru for several years. Two years ago, he arrived in Qin and followed Li Ru around Qin. Here, he saw a country that was completely different from Yan. Although the people were not rich, they were They are high-spirited, their officials are honest and efficient, and their troops are fierce and fearless of death. This is probably the reason why the Qin people can dominate the world.

But the man who really impressed him was the man in the palace, King Qin Wulie. When the man who was not angry and had piercing eyes patted his shoulder and called his junior brother with a big smile, Lu Chao knew that he would definitely sell his life to this world-famous king.

After learning martial arts, he was sold to the emperor's family. This is probably the best fate for ordinary scholars in this era. Lu Chaoming's own situation is that in Yan State, his father was just a big-headed soldier. In the eyes of the big nobles in Jicheng, he was inferior to those at the lowest level. The civilians are not much better. If they return to the Yan Kingdom, they will not have a very good future. Or if they can eventually become the magistrate of a county like Wu Kai, it will be considered good.

But in Qin State, it is completely different. Putting aside the relationship between your master and master, here, as long as you are truly talented, learned and capable, you will not have to worry about not getting ahead, not to mention, the master has already led you. After entering this gate, your starting point is to be a fifth-grade Shannan County Sima. How you go in the future depends on you.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of another man far away from here, Gao Yuan. Ever since he was a child, he had been much better than him, and he had never regarded him as an opponent. But now, this man has obviously regarded him far away. Far away.

I won't be worse than you. Lu Chao said silently in his heart that he had an extremely good environment, but you in Yan country could not compare to it anyway. After a short period of glory, it might be a bleak defeat. Lu Chao knew that Gao Yuanxian's situation was not Why, none of his enemies are lightweights.

I will be better than you. He took one last look at the Qin army who had gone away, turned around and walked down the city wall. The day's work was about to begin. Every day of his life was busy and fulfilling.

Just when Lu Chao was talking about Gao Yuan in his heart, Gao Yuan was actually not far away from him. This past night, in the wind and snow, Gao Yuan led a cavalry and attacked a group of Hun horse bandits. The horse bandits, who had more than a hundred men, were all wiped out that night, and not one of them escaped.

This is not the first group of horse bandits that they have annihilated. Over the past few days, Gao Yuan has successively eliminated several such groups of horse bandits. These teams of wandering horse bandits who make a living by robbing range from three to four hundred riders to more than a hundred. Riding, they met Gaoyuan's cavalry. In front of them, there was really no other way to go except to report to the King of Hell.

Of course Gao Yuan would not kindly come all the way to eliminate the horse bandits and benefit the grassland people or the Zhao border. His only purpose was to annihilate these horse bandits and then impersonate them for the next operations.

It was very convenient to drag the corpses to low-lying areas and bury them in snow. Their flags or things with a strong identity were left behind, and the rest were all hidden under the snowdrifts. When the snow melts next spring, these horse bandits will never show their traces.

"It's almost there." He Lanxiong rode up to Gao Yuan amid the falling snowflakes, "According to Cao Tianci's estimate of their schedule, they should have entered the area controlled by the Qin people in Shannan County by now. We have to take action. ”

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "Bai Yucheng is cleaning the opponent's scouts and detecting the movements of the Qin army in Shannan County. When they come back, we should start taking action."

"If Lu Chao reacted quickly, there should be a cavalry approaching Cao Tianci quickly at this time." He Lanxiong raised his head and glanced at the weather, "It's just that the weather is very bad. To be honest, I'm worried about whether Zhao Jun can follow the plan. Arrive within the stipulated time.”

"Capturing Shannan County is related to the survival of Dai County. Zilan will not neglect it. If this battle is half-baked and Shannan County cannot be taken, then Zilan and his Dai County will be the biggest victims. So, he will definitely work hard." Gao Yuan laughed.
