Chapter 142 Guiding the maze

The promise that Han Ruzi made to Xungui's camp general was not fully realized. Until the moment before departure, the camp was still in chaos. Many unnamed servants were busy cleaning up, looking for something that the master accidentally left elsewhere. .

The noble children don't care about such trivial matters, they put on their armor and rode on their horses early, they feel that they are doing their duty, and they are even proud of it.

Han Ruzi had very few items. After receiving a lot of gifts, he suddenly multiplied several times. As the middle guard in charge of the Qingwei camp, he had his own privilege to transport personal items. He only needed to divide a few ox carts.

The marching speed of the army was very slow. Looking back and forth, there was no end to the line. It took only a few dozen miles on the first day, and they had to set up camp again. Since they only stayed for one night, those gorgeous big tents could not be used, and the noble children could only live in ordinary rooms. The tent, could not help but complained, lamenting the difficulty of marching.

Chai Yue came once, but Han Ruzi didn't ask him to enter the account, he just said, "I'm still thinking about it."

Chai Yue had already said all her words, nodded and left in disappointment.

After nightfall, Zhang Yanghao came to ask for an interview, and Han Ruzi deliberately delayed for a while before letting him in.

Zhang Yanghao was disgraced. He had a very difficult life recently. He joined the Cui family, but the major event was not achieved. It was all because the court did not want to pursue it. Due to the hatred of the East Sea King, he has almost no friends. He has been bullied many times by the children of the Chai family, and his family does not provide extra money. He is one of the very few generals who live as hard as ordinary soldiers.

For a long time, Zhang Yanghao tried to avoid Han Ruzi as much as possible, until he couldn't hide, then he took the initiative to come to ask for peace.

Han Ruzi was sitting on the bed, holding a book and reading it under the lamp. Zhang Youcai and Loach stood at the door, looking at Zhang Yanghao's back with contempt.

Zhang Yanghao stood there, not daring to make a sound, and waited for a while before coughing lightly.

Han Ruzi turned a page and asked indifferently, "What's the matter here?"

Zhang Yanghao hurriedly bowed, took out a small package from his arms, and handed it to him, "Marquis Tien takes office, a humble post is not to be respected, a little courtesy..."

Han Ruzi raised his hand, Zhang Youcai came over, took the package from Zhang Yanghao's hand, weighed it twice, knowing that there was silver in it, and not much, and said strangely: "Zhang Gongzi really understands us servants, and again Add weight to us, just add more, and don't add a little more."

Zhang Yanghao's face was red and his ears were red. He still borrowed this money, and he didn't know when he would be able to pay it back.

But he was the grandson of Marquis Piyuan after all, so he didn't bother to argue with his servants, and said in a low voice embarrassedly, "Marquis Tire, can I have a few words with you... alone?"

Han Ruzi finished reading a page of the book and finally turned his attention to Zhang Yanghao, "Is it necessary?"

Zhang Yanghao didn't care about his face, he plopped down on his knees in front of the bed, and begged, "Marquis Tien, give me another chance."

Han Ruzi put down the scroll in his hand, nodded at the two attendants at the door, Zhang Youcai and Loach withdrew, and whispered about the unworthy descendants of the Zhang family outside the tent.

"Marquis Piyuan has outstanding military exploits and was once the right-hand man of General Deng Liao and Deng." Han Ruzi said coldly.

Zhang Yanghao was so ashamed that he murmured, "I'm sorry grandfather..."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yanghao still knelt on the ground, raised his head and said, "Marquis Tien is going to guard the Iron Broken City?"

There are no secrets in the Xungui camp, and even Zhang Yanghao, who has no friends, can hear many rumors.

"I haven't decided yet."

"Don't go, Hou Juan, it's a trap."

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, "What do you know?"

Marquis Juan showed some interest, Zhang Yanghao was overjoyed, and his voice became more natural, "Chai's family has been seeking revenge against Marquis Marquis and me, I heard that Broken Iron City is an isolated city, and the court has already planned to give it up, the only people in the city are The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the Marquis Tired goes there to die for ten years.”

"Yeah." Han Ruzi picked up the book again, but Zhang Yanghao didn't say anything useful.

Zhang Yanghao was a little anxious. If he couldn't please Juan Hou, he was afraid that the future would be even more difficult. "It's not just the Chai family, but Cui Teng who wants revenge."

Han Ruzi glanced at Zhang Yanghao one more time, "Cui Teng and Chai Yun are in the same boat, why do you want to avenge him?"

"These two are having a lot of fun. In fact, they are more in love than brothers. If Chai Yun hadn't died, they would be reconciled sooner or later."

"Chai Yun didn't kill me."

"But Hou Juan let go of Miss Jin's family. Did Hou Juan forget that Cui Teng once asked the Jin family for a kiss. He is a very face-saving person. Even if he doesn't take revenge for Chai Yun, he will still remember his hatred for taking his wife."

Is Jin Chuiduo really a disaster? Han Ruzi smiled and shook his head, "This is all your guess, you can say whatever you want."

"No, no, it's not just speculation, Hou Juan remembers Xie Ying, right?"

Han Ruzi certainly remembered that Xie Ying was one of the companions who entered the Jin family with Chai Yun at that time.

"As early as in the capital, Cui Teng beat Xie Ying hard, saying that he was not loyal enough to save Chai Xiaohou. Xie Ying was blessed by misfortune and was recuperating at home and did not join the army. Unfortunately, I was bullied by Cui Teng's gang every day in the camp."

"What about you? Was bullied too?"

Zhang Yanghao lowered his head, "I'm better, it's not that I'm bullied every day, but if Cui Teng knew that I was here to see Hou Juan, he would definitely find an excuse to beat me up."

Han Ruzi didn't sympathize with the person in front of him, "Okay, I know, I'll be on guard."

Zhang Yanghao said in surprise: "Wanhou is not worried at all?"

"I wasn't beaten, I wasn't bullied, what's there to worry about?"

"This is not a joke, Cui Teng's gang dares to do anything, and the Iron Broken City hangs in the north..."

"If I didn't have the ability to protect myself, I wouldn't be alive until now. Zhang Yanghao, if you betray you, I will treat you as a betrayal. If you come to inform me, I will treat you as a whistleblower. As long as you are weak, Marquis Piyuan can't protect you all the time, it's up to you to decide who you are."

Zhang Yanghao blushed like the sunset, he was a few years older than Huanhou, but at this time he looked like a child who was being blamed. He opened his mouth to try to explain, but then swallowed the words again, solemnly kowtowed, got up and left.

Han Ruzi continued to read.

After a while, the East Sea King came in, "Why is that bastard looking for you?"

The person who hated Zhang Yanghao the most was not Han Ruzi or Cui Teng, but the Donghai King who was abandoned in the riverside village.

"He said that Cui Teng wanted to avenge Chai Yun." Han Ruzi said without looking up.

"Of course Cui Teng wants to take revenge. He was humiliated by Chai Yun's design. Every day he thinks about how to fight back, but the result is good. When someone dies, his fire will naturally spread on others." King Donghai paused, " Cui Teng has a problem with his body, he has one advantage, he values ​​his family very much, you married his sister, just because of this, he will not seek revenge against you."

"I know."

"you know?"

"Cui Teng hates anyone or not. It's all on the surface. If he can hide his thoughts, he won't be the second son of the Cui family."

The King of the East Sea laughed, "Is this an advantage or a disadvantage?"

Han Ruzi smiled slightly.

It took four days for Han Ruzi to lead his army back to Mayi City, and the line behind them was still endless.

After the Xungui Camp and the Qingwei Camp settled in the city, Han Ruzi immediately left the city and went to his own troupe camp.

The camp was built by the river, with grass on the left and right sides, which could be used to train horseback and archery. The volunteer soldiers summoned by Han Ruzi were all peasants, and there were also a small number of Jianghu people. All military skills had to be learned from scratch.

Chao Hua supervising the camp invited more than a dozen veterans to be their coaches, and Lin Kunshan also followed in his capacity as a military adviser. It was him that Han Ruzi came to look for.

The soldiers were very happy to see Marquis Tien. As part of the trilogy, their treatment was better than that of ordinary soldiers in Da Chu, far better than that of ordinary people. This made them very sorry, and they all hoped to do something for Marquis Tien.

Han Ruzi brought all the bribes he got in the Xungui camp, piled them up in the camp, and distributed them by Chao Hua, trying to make everyone have a share.

This team has not yet formed, and Han Ruzi is not in a hurry to use it.

Entering the tent, Lin Kunshan said with a smile, "Where did Hou Juan get so many good things?"

"It's all given by others. It's very comfortable to be generous to others."

"Haha, Hou Juan has great ambitions, and this army will follow you."

Han Ruzi didn't come to listen to the touts, but to seek advice. No matter how calm he appeared in front of the East Sea King and others, he was actually hesitant and desperately needed advice. Chang Shi was not in Mayi City, and he hadn't contacted Marquis Juan for a long time, so he had to come to Lin Kunshan.

Hopeless people can't believe it enough, but when they are willing to tell the truth, it is still very helpful.

Han Ruzi repeated the strategy proposed by Chai Yue, Lin Kunshan hardly thought about it, and said directly: "Chai Yue is not important, the important person is General Han Xing."

"Han Xing? He doesn't seem to be very interested and has never persuaded me."

"Hey, people are old and talented. Han Xing has been standing in the court for many years, but his status has been getting higher and higher. Naturally, he has his own skills. Like the qi person, he also understands the principle of taking advantage of the situation: let others do it. , succeeded, as the commander, he always benefited the most, and failed, it had nothing to do with him."

Han Ruzi said, "You are right, Chai Yue has no official position in the army, and he has no soldiers or generals, but he dared to propose such a strategy and dared to persuade me, he must have obtained it. General's support."

Lin Kunshan nodded, "I can guarantee that Chai Yue can't tell what kind of support he has received, but his confidence must come from the general."

Han Ruzi thought for a while and asked, "What should I do?"

Lin Kunshan smiled and said: "I will only do one move, follow the trend: if the general wants to follow your lead, you should follow the general's lead. If the general is not in a hurry, then how many Huns you kill will not be considered meritorious. , If the general is very concerned about this matter, it will be revealed sooner or later, and then all the conditions you put forward will be met."

Han Ruzi bowed his hands in thanks, finally felt at ease, and returned to the city overnight.

Lin Kunshan, who stayed outside the city, was a little worried, whether the seedling that the watchers were looking for was growing too fast.

(One update today, see you in the group at 8pm.)
