[Red Chamber] Jia Huan's Army

Although there was no time limit for taking office, Jia Huan did not dare to delay on the road, and hurried all the way to King Nan'an's jurisdiction.In less than five days, they arrived in Ancheng County, where the Zhili troops of Nan'an Wang were located.This place used to be the capital of the Liao Kingdom hundreds of years ago. Later, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed. After several dynasties, it finally became the northern defense of the current empire.If the Tatars want to attack the Central Plains, this is the first line of defense.

It is not that Jia Huan had imagined the scene here before coming to Ancheng, but this kind of imagination is not worth mentioning in the face of reality.It was already the end of August at this time. If it was the most comfortable season in the capital, it would be the most comfortable season.But this Ancheng has already started to feel chilly, and sometimes there will even be a few light snowfalls.Jia Huan is a martial artist, so he is not afraid of the cold, but he is used to the hustle and bustle of the capital, and at first sight of the deserted streets blown by the cold wind, he is not used to it.

Now that he came under the command of King Nan'an, Jia Huan first had to meet King Nan'an according to the rules.

It is said that although the king of Nan'an has a mansion in Ancheng County, he basically eats and lives with the soldiers, and can't stay in the mansion for a few days all year round.When Jia Huan arrived at the military camp with the paperwork for his appointment, he naturally ran into King Nan'an who was in the camp.Jia Huan was really curious about this great hero in people's hearts.In his mind, this person who can have such military exploits at such a young age, excluding his family origin, must be extremely heroic and capable.It was precisely because of this admiration in his heart that Jia Huan did not dare to look around when he entered King Nan'an's tent, but handed over the document respectfully, and then said to him, "My subordinate Jia Huan will see King Nan'an."

"Raise your head." King Nan'an didn't look at the document in his hand, and told Jia Huan with a smile, "Don't be submissive, you're too petty."

Jia Huan was a little annoyed when he heard this, so he raised his head and looked directly at the person sitting above him according to his words.At this glance, Jia Huan recognized him, isn't this the person who blocked him in the alley back then?He has always thought that man was a low-ranking bandit until now!

Geng Yuan, Wang of Nan'an, seemed very proud of Jia Huan's stunned look, and raised his head with a smile, "What, the little guy didn't expect that? He's still so stupid!"

Once the tall and tall image of King Nan'an in Jia Huan's mind coincided with the face in front of him, that stalwart image suddenly collapsed.Not to mention anything else, it was the behavior of being called a bandit back then, coupled with this obviously childish face, Jia Huan blurted out his question: "Don't frame me, where is the King of Nan'an?"

Geng Yuan frowned and said, "Hmph, who would have the guts to impersonate me? You guerrilla general don't want to do it?"

Jia Huan still didn't believe it, just as he was about to continue talking, he heard a person enter the tent and said: "My lord, don't make jokes, this kid has always had a bad brain, and only accepts death."

When Jia Huan turned his head, this hurtful tone, this iconic white dress, isn't this just Bai Shi, who has half a teacher-student relationship with him?

Jia Huan said hello respectfully: "Mr. Bai."

Then he looked at Bai Shi, and then at Geng Yuan who was seated in the main seat. He knew that Bai Shi was the steward of the palace, and the "prince" that Bai Shi called... turned out to be the legendary King of Nan'an!

Jia Huan managed to please the two with a look of falling sky.Bai Shi smiled and said: "I stayed in the mansion before to deal with some trivial matters, and I rushed back half a month ago. You are a rare martial artist."

Jia Huan was really immune to Bai Shi's disgusting tone, so he stopped arguing as he did at the beginning, and said with a smile: "I actually met Mr. here, no wonder I didn't find anyone when I announced the good news to you."

King Nan'an saw that the two were reminiscing about the past and neglecting him, and said dissatisfiedly, "I want to reminisce about the past and change the day, and I have to explain things."

Only then did Jia Huan turn his attention to Geng Yuan again. With a strong sense of disobedience, Jia Huan felt that his soul had been greatly hurt, and he probably wouldn't be able to get used to it even if he waited a little longer.Jia Huan tried his best not to look directly at the prince who looked like a reckless young man, restrained his thoughts, and waited for orders.

"You can follow Feng Ting from now on." Seeing that Jia Huan couldn't see the joke, Geng Yuan thought to himself that he was bored, and then ordered perfunctorily: "He is your master, and he will explain the rules of this camp to you. But in For me, no matter what level you are, everything speaks of strength, how much you can do, and I look forward to your performance."

Jia Huan nodded cautiously. As soon as these words came out, he found that King Nan'an's aura suddenly changed. The unambiguous aura made Jia Huan see the prince who calmly issued orders on the battlefield, even with his own Even a trace of contemptuous attitude could not help but subside.

After instructing Jia Huan, King Nan'an returned to his previous lively appearance, and ordered Feng Ting to come and lead him.Then he winked and said: "How about it, I treat you well, I know you don't know the place where you live, so I specially found an old acquaintance to come over and take you."

Only then did Jia Huan belatedly realize that he had been assigned under Feng Ting's subordinates. It sounded very good that master and apprentice fighting side by side, and he felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.Of course, expectations are always used to be shattered, Feng Ting has this kind of ability, this is a later story.

After a while, Feng Ting came in a hurry, it seemed that he was still practicing in the school field last moment, his face was still sweating, and his armor had not been changed.This is the first time Jia Huan has seen such a master.The long hair that was originally casual has been completely tied up, and the sharp-edged face is even more stern. Coupled with the heavy armor, he is just like the heroic general in Jia Huan's mind.It's just that the moment the general opened his mouth, it destroyed his awe-inspiring righteousness.

"You little bastard came so late, I've been here for half a month." Feng Ting slapped Jia Huan, making him stagger, "The new officials are not active when they take office, I think you lack practice .”

Jia Huan grinned fawningly and said, "Isn't this a ten-day vacation given by His Majesty? I rushed over as soon as the vacation was over. I dare not be careless."

As the two talked, Feng Ting casually greeted Geng Yuan and led him away.Jia Huan wanted to salute Geng Yuan respectfully, but Feng Ting snatched him away like a chicken, which was very embarrassing.On the contrary, Geng Yuan himself is not a person who abides by the rules, he doesn't care about these immodest manners, and he is as happy to watch Jia Huan make a fool of himself as if he was watching a joke.

Feng Ting allocated a tent to Jia Huan, prepared clothes for training and uniform weapons and armor for combat, and then explained the rules of Nan'an King's camp one by one.

In fact, these rules are similar to those when Jia Huan was in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, but they are stricter and the training time is much longer.I think the border is not peaceful now, and small-scale battles happen from time to time, so for the sake of these soldiers' heads, they have to train strictly in normal times.Jia Huan had no objection to this at all.

But just as King Nan'an said, everything here depends on strength, and it is impossible for the officers who are airborne to be accepted all at once.According to the rules of Nan'an King's barracks, the new officer must accept the challenge of the soldiers under his command. If he is convinced, he will stay. If he cannot, he can only start from the lowest level and climb up.Because there are very few officers like Jia Huan airborne, the number of times this rule has been actually implemented since it was established may be counted on fingers.

After explaining the rules, Feng Ting said "Try your hand at night", and then went back to the school field to practice.

Jia Huan packed his luggage and walked around the camp. As a fourth-rank officer, there is still room for two people to share a room.Opposite his bed was another guerrilla's bed.That person was not there, and the place where the weapons were hung was empty, and he was probably still on duty or training outside.The whole tent is very simple and there are no extra things, but fortunately there is no shortage of necessities, and there is even a charcoal stove in the tent, which is probably only for officers to enjoy the treatment.This is the place he will stick to for a long time, and Jia Huan is very satisfied with it.
