Chapter 38

The weather in October is no longer hot. The glow shines on the head of the city and drops a red. The armor of the guards and the flag at the head of the city all turn red.

Morning exercises have begun in the city patrol camp on the side of the city wall. Teams of guards are running in line. The leader of the team is shouting slogans, and the voice resounds through the whole camp.

Can be heard without end of the dish, the head of the coarse cloth master waved his shovel, turned the thick porridge in the pot, the smell of the dishes, the congee and the white water vapor permeated the air.

Su Yun was standing in a corner of the school yard, practicing martial arts with a few little mud boys. There was a constant cry.

At the gate of the camp, Guo Dashan yawned and stopped county magistrate Tang who wanted to enter the camp:

"My Lord, it's time to practice. My family has told me that no one can go in. Don't embarrass me."

County Magistrate Tang looked very bad and was very angry:

"Su Lu, let him come out to see me. He slaughtered the villagers under my rule. If he had the courage to kill, why didn't he have the courage to see me."

Guo Dashan yawned again:

"I can answer you about this. Sir, there are many bandits in Beiyang. It is because these people are people in front and bandits in turn that they were killed by our guards. They will harm people again."

"Who can prove that they are bandits? Good people will be killed by your guards. Who can prove that they are bandits?"

County Magistrate Tang was very angry.

Su Ping, who had just stepped down from the city wall, yawned, pulled away the county magistrate Tang and commanded his soldiers to enter the camp. His voice was very impatient:

"My second brother respects you as a county magistrate. Don't bother with you. Don't push your nose and face.

Whether those people are bandits is like a mirror in the heart of county magistrate Tang. They just want our guards to allocate some food. I tell you, if you dare to do this again, believe it or not, I'll ask someone to beat you out. "

County Magistrate Tang blushed and was obviously angry. He pointed his fingers at Su Ping and couldn't speak.

Su Ping took Tang county magistrate's hand and swaggered into the barracks:

"If it hadn't been for us, your grandson would have been killed by bandits and would dare to make trouble here."

County Magistrate Tang sat on the ground angrily and didn't get up for a long time. This grandson is so angry.

He Wu's teasing voice sounded behind him:

"I said, Lord Tang, why did you sit at the gate of the patrol camp in the early morning? Did you have a conflict with Lieutenant Su? Do you need me to make peace?"

County Magistrate Tang stared at he Wu. The dead eunuch was also an accomplice.

Su Lu dared to openly kill the people in the bandit stronghold. It was this guy who supported him and blew the wind in front of the princess that made the princess believe that they didn't kill the people, but the bandits.

Li Lin, who joined the army, also said with a smile:

"Lord Tang, I think you have really misunderstood this time. Su Duwei's method is very good. All the bandits in the bandit stronghold are killed. Apart from anything else, the grain transportation road in Beiyang is now completely unblocked. There is no more case that the grain transportation road is cut off by bandits."

County Magistrate Tang sighed: "I don't know, but all the young people in menxia village have been killed, and all the old and young men have found the county yamen. What else can I do? I can only come to the guard for an explanation."

Li Lin showed the military affairs booklet in his hand to county magistrate Tang and persuaded him:

"This is the military order of commendation issued by Jiedu house. Su Lu has made great contributions in suppressing bandits and opened up the grain road in Beiyang. Jiedu house gives a special reward."

Tang county magistrate refused to obey: "isn't Jiedu mansion fooling around? Reward Su Lu. What should we do and explain to our parents?"

Li Lin followed he Wu to the barracks. Hearing the scolding of county magistrate Tang, Li Lin looked back and spoke solemnly.

"Lord Tang, do you want to understand that now it's just Su Duwei who killed dozens of villagers. If all these villagers become bandits, riot in the face of the enemy and let the Tule people destroy the city, even if you can escape, can you live?"

"Should the people of the whole city also come to you?" said county magistrate Tang

Tang county magistrate didn't believe: "why, it's just some people. Even if you are a bandit, how much harm can it bring?"

Hearing that his face was black, Li Lin turned around and looked at county magistrate Tang solemnly: "ten days ago, when Su Duwei was suppressing the bandits, he found the trace of the Tule people and spread the news to Beizheng camp. The guard on duty got the order. On the same day, he found the bandits and Tule people pretending to be grain transportation troops in the baggage camp."

"Lord Tang, if the Tule people cooperate internally and externally, break the stronghold gate of Beizheng camp and Beizheng falls, can you Beiyang exist alone?"

County Magistrate Tang stopped talking. Of course, he can't survive. Don't say that Beiyang can't survive. I'm afraid Xuanfu in the southwest and Yanzhou in the west can't survive.

Su Lu came out of the barracks yawning. Seeing he Wu and Li Lin, he asked curiously:

"Why, Li joined the army. Did you bring some supplies this time? Hundreds of people have been recruited in our camp, but now they don't even have armor. They are still wearing coarse cloth clothes."

Li Lin pointed to the bright guards in the underwear armour of the school field, with a helpless face.

"Lieutenant Su, don't fool me. Look at the guards under you. They all have the same standard robes. Then smell the smell from your kitchen. The absolute fat fried vegetables boiled from pork. I don't know many armies that can compare with you."

Su Lu smiled and quickly shifted Li Lin's attention: "well, what's the matter with Li joining the army? I swept away all the bandits in Beiyang and opened the grain road."

"So here comes the reward document of Jiedu mansion. This is a reward for you. At the same time, simply appoint you as a grain transportation officer to supply military grain to Beizheng camp."

Li Lin unfolded the military affairs booklet in his hand and handed it to Su Lu to look at.

Su Ping, who was nearby, was immediately dissatisfied: "we have just wiped out the bandits in Beiyang. The lost sergeants have not been supplemented. The recruits recruited from the refugees don't even have official credentials. Let's go to battle. It's not authentic for you to do so."

The guards nearby also hung their heads. A brigade commander was right. We looked miserable.

Su Lu is also reluctant to go. The war in Beizheng is in full swing. There are about 120000 Tule troops and 145000 guards gathered in the front line of Beizheng. The front line stretches for more than ten miles. Countless guards die every day. Su Lu doesn't want to be one of them.

"Nanguan camp hasn't returned. We can't go. Beiyang can't be guarded."

Su Lu refused Li Lin, and his tone gradually became firm: "I'm a soldier of the senior general, responsible for protecting the senior general and her fiefdom. If you want to lose me, you have to have the consent of the senior general."

Li Lin looked embarrassed: "the general said that you must agree to transfer you up."

"I just suppressed some bandits. Why does Jiedu mansion like me?"

Su Lu looked at Li Lin puzzled. Which bastard sent him up. It's really not a good job to transport grain. The grain road in Beiyang is open, but the road in Beizheng is still blocked, especially at the foot of Erlong mountain. It's capital. The road is blocked.

Only four of the twelve grain transportation teams that have passed through Beiyang can come back. This is such a special concept. It's like going up to die.

Li Lin's face changed slightly when he heard the speech. He said helplessly, "it's not because you are notorious. Not only the bandits in Beiyang know that you kill bandits, but also the bandits in Beizheng around Xuanfu house. Jiedu house likes you."

"I'm not going"

Su Lu said very clearly. I'm notorious for protecting the guards from being indiscriminately killed by bandits. It's good for you to ask me to die on the battlefield because of this.

Well, the main reason is the lack of cards. The number of cards in hand has not increased. It has been more than a month since the expansion of camp B, and no new array cards have been added. No new array cards, the last wool battlefield.
