The Founding of the Red Chamber

No matter how difficult it is to find a good opportunity, it was the first time that Tu Xiaosan hated himself for being slow-spoken, and for not taking the opportunity to express his love to Brother Ah Jing.It's a pity that the apprentice Xiaosan didn't have the energy to practice on the second day.

Lin Jing also said to Guan Xiaoer, "Stop thinking about it, the third brother is not that kind of person."

Guan Xiaoer was surprised, "How do you know he's not that kind of person, I think he looks like that."

"I asked my third brother, and he said no."

Guan Xiaoer sighed, "Can you ask this question?"

"Why can't I ask?" Lin Jing was puzzled, and he didn't think it was an important matter, so he didn't bring it up again.Guan Xiaoer and his father didn't stay in Jingzhou City for too long, and they were going to return to Xiangyang City with [-] imperial troops.After all, the general's camp was stationed in Xiangyang.Guan Xiaoer was somewhat reluctant to part with Lin Jing, and Lin Jing was also reluctant to part with this old friend.Lin Jing said, "I'll have nothing to do here in a few days, I'll go and see you."

Guan Xiaoer said, "That's a deal, if you don't want to go, I'll come to you."

"I'm definitely going." Lin Jing said with a smile.

Guan Xiaoer reluctantly bid farewell to Lin Jing, and the generals of the Guan Wai Army naturally wanted to send General Guan Tingyu to the same ten miles, but Guan Xiaoer refused to remind Lin Jing, "Don't forget to say goodbye to me. if."

Lin Jing shook his hand at him, showing a big smiling face, his eyes were clean and delicate, not like a general leading an army in battle, he should be a noble son in a grove of beautiful flowers.Lin Jing smiled, "Don't worry, I won't forget."

Because of this sentence, after sending off General Guan and his party, Tu Xiaosan stopped riding a horse, and rode in a carriage with Lin Jing, and after chatting all the way, he asked Lin Jing what he had promised Guan Xiaoer.Lin Jing was buzzing, and said to Tu Xiaosan, "Man, why are you chattering like this, I just said a few days ago to see Guan Xiaoer, what's the matter?"

Tu Xiaosan said, "Your body is so strong that I am afraid that one day you will be cold and hot. Xiangzhou is so far away, and his body is like a calf. If you don't come here, you will go there in such a weak way. You really are a good brother!" He never forgot to provoke the feelings of other people's little bamboo horses.In fact, Tu Xiaosan is not a heartless person, those [-] imperial capital troops have been following them to shut down the foreign army these days.Just pay it back, Tu Xiaosan has nothing to say.But, for Guan Xiaoer, Tu Xiaosan is very jealous.He was so jealous that he hated that he wasn't the one who grew up with Brother Ah Jing.

Lin Jing said, "Didn't you say long ago that you wanted to see the general's military training skills? They are in Xiangyang. If we don't go, can we see them?"

Tu Xiaosan was taken aback for a moment, and then flattered, "Ah Jing, you still remember this."

"I don't remember, I forgot." Lin Jing closed his eyes, not wanting to deal with this insanity anymore.

Tu Xiaosan took the opportunity to confess his love to Brother Ah Jing, "A Jing, you don't know, you know you, I have all my heart with you. In my heart, I only wish I could grow up with you It's me, not Guan Xiaoer."

Lin Jing said, "I also want to get to know you, third brother earlier."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I have two or three friends. Third brother, you count as one. If we grow up together, I won't be so lonely when I was young."

"Didn't anyone play with you when you were young?"

"Very few." Lin Jing said, "There are a lot of people flattering me, but those people have other purposes, I can't see it. People like that can't be regarded as friends. A Teng and A Nian used to accompany me when I was young However, they are juniors, so I still have to worry about them. Cui Jinran used to study with me when I was young, and we got along well, but I always feel that we are not very close. Guan Xiaoer is a good friend. But , He always competed with me when he was a child and refused to obey me. The only thing I miss is a friend like you, third brother."

Tu Xiaosan was delighted to hear that, and said, "Ah Jing, we haven't met each other for more than ten years, so there's nothing we can do about it. In the next few decades, until we close our eyes and never separate, how about it?"

Lin Jing smiled, "Success, that's settled."

"That's what I want to say."

In short, as soon as Guan Xiaoer left, Tu Xiaosan felt at ease.

In fact, Tu Xiaosan doesn't have to guard against Guan Xiaoer like a thief. He has three sons, and he can't be more straight.

In mid-March, when it was neither hot nor cold, Lin Jingfang and Tu Xiaosan went to Xiangyang City.Both of them went to see how General Guan trained his troops. Of course, Lin Jing also wanted to visit friends.

However, the focus is on how to train soldiers after imitating generals.

Lin Jing has never thought much of God's army, without him, he has little ability and a lot of arrogance.However, I don't know whether it's due to General Guan's prestige, or the general's extraordinary skills. The Imperial Army's current training is even more ruthless than that of Guanwai's army.

Lin Jing and Guan Xiaoer said, "The general is really a military god. In the past, I thought that our Guanwai army's drills were about the same, but the general is even more ruthless here."

Guan Xiaoer said, "What is this? You haven't seen the elite soldiers of the Muzhou Army. These Imperial Capital Army are not worth mentioning."

"Isn't that worth mentioning?"

Guan Xiaoer shook his head, "Maybe it's because there are limited wars in the imperial capital, and the generals and soldiers are a little lazy. In Muzhou, there are wars, big or small, every month. Since the Muzhou market was closed, barbarians often come to disturb the border. Now these imperial capital troops , even your Guanwai army can't compare, how can you reel in bandits?"

"Looking at what you said, our Guanwai army should be on the side of the Imperial Capital Army or something?"

"That's not what I meant. How many years have we known each other? How could the soldiers you brought out yourself be any worse?" Guan Xiaoer laughed softly, "Lin Xiaosi, you have a lot of eyes, you asked my father to see it, But they are all ordinary soldiers. Why don’t you show your elite soldiers to my father to have a look.”

"Nonsense, nothing."

"Is there anything you don't know about me, your guards are first-class elite soldiers."

Lin Jing smiled, "I thought what were you talking about, it turned out to be my guard. This is not nonsense, whose guard is not a first-class elite soldier?"

"But I think you have a lot of guards."

"Not many, barely 3000 people."

Guan Xiaoer said, "That's not enough, my father has only 200 soldiers."

Lin Jing said, "I have only 500 soldiers."

"Look, you are bigger than my father."

"You can't say that." Lin Jing and Guan Xiaoer sat drinking tea and said, "The general is cautious, which is the benefit of the general. You know my reputation without mentioning it. I have never been so disciplined." You don’t know, the outside of the Guan is not quite the same as the Muzhou Mansion. The Muzhou Mansion has always been a place where heavy troops are stationed, and all the rules are complete. The outside of the Guan is a land without kingly laws. Let me put it this way, if It’s a taboo in the court, we are not outsiders, so I’ll just say it straight.”

"Just say it."

"Do you know how many bandits and bandits outside the pass? The people there, don't say bandits, are good people. It's common for them to risk their lives if they don't agree with each other. Let me tell you, I have a firm foothold in Hanzhou City. The bandits tied up hundreds of litters. There are some ridiculous things that I can’t tell. They are the local people. They work in the fields during the day. If they know where a merchant passes by, they immediately change their clothes, cover their heads and feet, and pick up a hoe and a sickle. Go out and rob. This kind of people, you are considered a citizen, or a bandit? There are also some, half officials, half bandits, and the two sides communicate with each other. The bandits rob things and pay dividends to local officials when they are introduced. How do I calculate it? If I hadn’t been lucky, I would have had to go outside the pass. Outside the pass, my [-] guards were not enough, and I would always bring my own soldiers with me when I went out. Once, I met a child who looked at my hands eagerly. I’ll go over and give it to him, and guess what.”

"What's the matter?"

"The kid took the cake with one hand, and pulled out such a long saber from his waist with the other hand. If it wasn't for Chen An's quick reaction, I would be finished." Lin Jing said, "Since many people in the court knew that I was outside the pass, How many people think that outside the customs is a good place, tell them to try it, and they will know."

Guan Xiaoer sighed, "It's really rare that you stayed here for all these years."

"This place outside the pass, I really don't think it's a safe place when I go there. After a long time, it's okay." Lin Jing said, "I haven't been in contact with military affairs before, so I went outside the pass and switched to martial arts. Said Come on, I also have some experience in fighting these years. I didn't expect that it was Uncle Guan who came back here, and I still have some military training matters, so I want to ask Uncle Guan for advice."

Guan Xiaoer responded immediately, "It's easy to talk about, I'm hosting a family dinner tonight, just the three of us, how about it?"

"Call the third brother, he is not an outsider." Lin Jing said.

"Success." Guan Xiaoer said, "I don't know why, this General Li (tu Xiaosan) always looks at me strangely, Lin Xiaosi, he really has broken sleeves, right?"

Lin Jing laughed angrily at Guan Xiaoer's words, and spat, "Even if you have broken sleeves, you'll never stop being ugly."

"Tch, don't lose your eyesight, you're ugly! You go out and inquire about it, and now I'm the father of the baby. Once you go out, I'm the majestic one. I don't know how many girls fall in love with me." Guan Xiaoer Patting his bulging chest muscles, he proudly showed off his good figure.Compared with Lin Xiaosi who has been like a kitten for several years, Guan Xiaoer always thinks that he is a man among men, a man among men.
