Lie Lie Sheng

Chapter 44 [44]

Three years ago, the man who used to be the emperor's secret guard and was now reduced to Duan Sheng's errands, led Xia Emperor's order and brought Duan Sheng to the most remote barbaric land in Shengchang. In the vast mountain forest, there are many tribes, big and small. The outer tribes are alright, and the xenophobia is relatively weak. Many inner tribes are completely uncivilized, like primitive people. The army here is like a herbivore in a beast garden. In terms of barbarism It's not as big as the tribe, and the number of people is not as large as these united and xenophobic tribes. The barbarians only recognize the tribal leaders, and the court and other people don't care about you at all. If you are in a hurry, they will unite and besiege you. With such a powerful local snake, life is very hard.

The barbarians don't listen to enlightenment, and they sent troops to suppress them before the two dynasties, but it was in vain. Leaving aside the brutality of the barbarians, they hid in the mountains and forests. .

Mandi is a treasure, but this treasure is very hot, Xia Di thought, Duan Sheng is capable, as far as the value of force is a ghost, Xia Di cherishes his talents very much, and is reluctant to take him seriously, so he just Let him go to this wild land to manage the army and educate the barbarians.

Duan Sheng learned about the local situation and the mission assigned by Emperor Xia, and was very helpless. He was good at fighting, but he was not good at educating the barbarians. He was not educated enough. How could he be educating the barbarians?Duan Sheng looked at the dark guard standing behind him who had been pretending to be dead, and thought, this assistant hidden guard is the helper named by Emperor Xia. Could it be that this person is very good at this?

The current title just sounds good, first-rank mighty general, but in fact, he is just the leader of a poor motley army. The barbaric army that Duan Sheng saw at that time was really full of black lines. There are generally many veterans and remnants, but no matter their age Geometric, sallow and emaciated, mentally weak, and more importantly, the imperial garrison was dressed in tatters. Most of the weapons were wooden sticks with different lengths and sharpened ends. It seems that the saber has a very long history, so he couldn't help asking at that time.

"Little Ten, you made a mistake, these are not soldiers but refugees fleeing famine!"

Dead Face Dark Guard even though he heard Duan Sheng call him Little Ten countless times, he couldn't help but twitched his eyes. He also refuted that his name was Dark Ten, but Duan Sheng was still as stubborn as ever. It's my opinion to call him this so-called 'nickname'...

"Return to the general, this is the barbarian garrison today, the imperial court establishment as if it were fake."

This time Duan Sheng has changed, Shengchang is not so poor, isn't he "Has the military salary been corrupted by the officials?"

"No, it's just that the garrison couldn't hold it by itself..." Afterwards, Anshi slowly explained the reason to Duan Sheng.

After listening to Anshi's explanation, Duan Sheng finally understood the reason why the frontier troops here are so 'bleak'.

It turns out that the barbarians here are very repulsive to the imperial garrisons. The barbarians are fierce and often rob these garrisons. The garrisons are weak, and their weapons and money will always be robbed. The imperial court has been unable to do anything about these barbarians. Distribute weapons and food to the barbarian garrison, so as not to always make those barbarians cheaper!

The wild land has always had little contact with the outside world. It belongs to the type of living behind closed doors. It always lives in the mountains and forests, and there is no real threat to prosperity. Therefore, the first emperor did not attach much importance to it. The ministers raised this proposal. The first emperor readily agreed, so the garrison here only has a small amount of uniformly distributed salary every year, and no weapons and food distributed by the court.

Because it is far away from Shengchang, the environment is harsh and the aborigines are brutal. Over time, this place has become a place of exile for the imperial court and dignitaries in disguise. The abandoned sons and so on were all sent here and became a veritable miscellaneous army. Because they had no strength, no power, and no financial resources, they were collectively called the Three No Army.

These people are penniless, have no place to go, and will settle down in a barbaric land after a long time.It's not that there are no escapees, but these imperial courts have strictly checked the number of troops stationed here in order to make things go bad. Besides, those powerful families will not let these people escape easily, so those who escape can't escape the hanging. For the sake of their own lives, these people have to accept their fate.

These three army troops are the poor children without father and mother, not only their salary is robbed every year, but even the pots and pans at home are not spared. Now the weapons in the hands of some soldiers are all cleverly hidden. Only some old weapons survived.

The barbarian land is full of mountains and forests, the imperial court does not distribute food, and there are no fields here, so there is no source of food. Barbarian women like to wear silver ornaments. The more silver ornaments they wear, the stronger their men are, or the happier their lives are. Salary money has become a sweet bun in the eyes of the barbarians, but without the silver in exchange for food, these garrisons can only rely on going into the mountains to find plant prey to fill their stomachs, but their ability is limited, not everyone is lucky enough to hunt wild animals every day, Many people have to live with only wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

Emperor Xia once thought about making improvements, so that the barbaric land could truly be merged into Shengchang, but he sent countless people here, but none of them could stand the harsh environment here, and the ferocious barbarians all died of various reasons soon after. After all, the barbarian garrison had never had such a thing as a serious official, which made Emperor Xia a little discouraged.

"However, the emperor believes in the general's strength."

The corners of Duan Sheng's mouth twitched, hehe~ Strength?Duan Sheng began to suspect that he was absolutely wrong in his judgment of Emperor Xia's character before. He thought that Emperor Xia was tolerant, but now Duan Sheng understands that he is waiting for me here. He came, absolutely sincere!

Emperor Xia really believed in Duan Sheng's strength, believed that Duan Sheng's force value was even lower than Qin Jiulie's, and that he had inadvertently learned of Duan Sheng's pharmaceutical ability, and he could actually make a medicine that suppressed Qin Jiulie's madness. Surviving in the wild must be easy!

Duan Sheng looked at the adobe General's Mansion in front of him. The dilapidated appearance seemed to have been scoured by a hundred years of history. There were countless rays of light on the roof, and he was sweating profusely on his forehead. Now that it's raining, he should be drowned. Hehe~ What a rare product official residence...

Duan Sheng didn't understand, why was he so unmarried, he entered the barracks as soon as the new house was built, and in the capital, his imperial mansion was just sorted out, and he was kicked to the wild place by the emperor, now Is it time to go back to before liberation?

It's too late if he doesn't want to take over the matter. It seems that he has to fight again. First of all, the place where he lives has to be tidied up, and the roof has to be repaired.

Most of the older garrisons didn't respond. There were too many officials sent by the imperial court a few years ago, whether they were civil or military officials, but who can live well? It's not as good as them!Thinking about it, it won't be long before this adult who is more tender and unreliable than before should drink tea and chat with Lord Yan.

The garrison who had just been brought here was quite curious about Duan Sheng. Seeing how young and immature Duan Sheng was, he probably guessed in his heart that he offended someone and was relegated here to wait for death. Although the title of general is great, he is actually the same as many of them. The same, they are all unlucky and waiting to die. For a while, many people have pity or sympathy or schadenfreude in their eyes, so without Duan Sheng's knowledge, they have gained sympathy and malice from many people.

Duan Sheng took a look at the garrison soldiers who were malnourished, then looked at his "General's Mansion", and rolled his eyes, "Little Ten, I will leave the rest of the house to you to clean up. It is the General's Mansion anyway. To make it clean and comfortable, this general is responsible for preparing today's meals."

Duan Sheng waved to more than a dozen team leaders who had been elected by all the soldiers. Several people looked at each other, then stepped forward to salute Duan Sheng. Duan Sheng waved his hand and told them what he meant.

Anshi also never imagined that the environment here is really so harsh, referring to the adobe official mansion in front of him...

The heads of the garrison troops heard that Duan Sheng was going to hunt together in the mountains, and they had different expressions for a while, but they all unanimously disagreed with Duan Sheng going hunting with them, and suggested that Duan Sheng stay here and let Anshi go with them.

Duan Sheng understood that they thought he was a burden and didn't believe in his strength!Duan Sheng scratched his chin, who made him look so young, it seems that Xiao Shi's old-fashioned dead face seems more reliable, should they all be shot down to prove their strength?But look at that pitiful man with yellow and emaciated face, he is also his subordinate after all, he is a bit helpless, he is becoming more and more kind, Duan Sheng praised him in his heart.

"Duan Sheng? Sheng boy?" At this moment, a hesitant voice came from the garrison.

Duan Sheng sounded very familiar. He followed the sound and frowned. It was Chen Guanghui. How could he be here?

"Hey! Why is uncle here?"

Chen Guanghui's eyes lit up when he got Duan Sheng's response, he hurriedly squeezed the crowd away, and ran to Duan Sheng, "It's really you, kid. I thought I was dazzled. Didn't you enter Beijing? It’s so majestic, why are you here?”

"The emperor saw that I was too idle, so he brought me here to show my strength." Duan Sheng spread his hands and shrugged.

Chen Guanghui frowned, "Here..."

Duan Sheng stopped Chen Guanghui from continuing, "I already understand the general situation here, let's not talk about me now, let's talk about you, why are you here? After that, the emperor has grace, and the service people can be exempted from the rest of the service. Is it time to go home?"

"Hey, it's all because of the second father and son..." Chen Guanghui sighed.

"Them? Those two trash can still get you?" Duan Sheng was curious. Duan Mingqiang and his son still have such abilities?

Chen Guanghui smiled helplessly, "At that time, the emperor's grace had not yet come down, and those two people were promoting you as his nephew in the army everywhere, and they lived a very good life. I offended their father and son, and the father and son let the hundred households get me here."

Duan Sheng sneered, "They are quite courageous, and my name can be borrowed by the old Duan family!" He patted Chen Guanghui, "Uncle is fine, I will deal with them sooner or later! Now I am in charge of this place, and I will give it to you later." Approve a note and let you go home."

"No, I'll stay and help you." Duan Sheng saved him a few times, but he had no chance before, but now he has the chance, how can he let it go, so he wants to stay and help.

Duan Sheng tried to persuade him for a while, but Chen Guanghui decided to stay, so Duan Sheng could only follow him.

Chen Guanghui also told Duan Sheng that the soldiers who were injured on the battlefield were also here, but due to various reasons, many of them were in very bad condition, and some even couldn't survive to death. Duan Sheng understood that the environmental reason was one of them. The second is not timely treatment, and the third is that I will not be able to eat enough.

Seeing Chen Guanghui's rather resentful expression, Duan Sheng was helpless. Although the old general Bai was very kind to his subordinate soldiers, the imperial court had always stipulated that those disabled soldiers who had no family or relatives had to be sent to barbarians.

Seeing that those team leaders are unwilling to take him into the mountains, Duan Sheng is not reluctant, don't tell him to subdue these people, integrate the garrison, and then dominate the barbarian land with might and domineering, it's really troublesome!The Emperor Shan Gao is far away, he can play however he wants, and if there is something to do, isn't there a little ten as his helper!

Duan Sheng asked Chen Guanghui to take him to see, those soldiers who were dispatched to barbarians because of their disabilities in this war had fought together before, and they were also somewhat comrades, and he decided that these people would be his younger brothers in the future , Look, just the little eyes that glowed and worshiped him when he saw him made him very touched, and these people didn't need him to work hard to subdue them, they themselves believed in him, so it was no trouble for Duan Sheng.

Duan Sheng looked at the few people who had complete hands and feet and seemed to be uninjured. Chen Guanghui hurriedly explained, "These people are not injured, but they all provoked the brat."

Duan Sheng understood that no matter where there are bullies, these people are in the same situation as Chen Guanghui. Duan Sheng saw that many people's wounds were still inflamed. It was just a problem, so he discussed with Chen Guanghui and decided to take some people into the mountains to collect herbs and hunt. Everyone has seen Duan Sheng's heroic appearance on the battlefield with their own eyes, and they know very well how powerful Duan Sheng is. I heard that Duan Sheng is willing to They were all very excited to take care of them.

The increasingly gloomy and gloomy atmosphere was instantly dispersed by the arrival of Duan Sheng. Everyone finally saw hope. Even those who had been seriously injured and sluggish for a long time smiled unconsciously. At this time, Duan Sheng was their salvation.

The 'natives' in the distance and the new arrivals all looked at their opposite sides strangely. Why did the atmosphere change as soon as the little Shangguan passed by?Why did those lifeless wounded soldiers suddenly regain their energy?

Regardless of other people's gazes, Duan Sheng let Chen Guanghui lead the way into the mountain. Anshi also knew very well how powerful Duan Sheng was, so he didn't stop him, and dutifully started to complete the task Duan Sheng gave him.

The team leaders gathered together and muttered.

"Don't stop it?"

"Why stop it? Huh, overthinking what you can do!"

"It seems that he is just an abandoned son. If he wants to die in a hurry, then let him go!"

"That's right, let's not get in the way of people wanting to die."

"Looking at his age, he seems to be quite young. Maybe he doesn't know how powerful this barbaric land is. Young people are always full of vigor."

"Why don't you follow up and help him if he's in danger?"

"Go to yourself!"

"But……"

"But what's the matter, you want to help but you don't care about it, and what kind of heart do you all have, you wish that he died, and you are still a child! You don't want to go to me!"

The last man, who was tall but thinner, beckoned his men to follow up with Duan Sheng.

"Do you really want the bull to follow?"

"He can go as he wants, it's none of our business!"

"that is……"
