Chapter 608 Making things difficult

Han Mo got off the horse and followed a group of people to drive the fat pigs forward. He occasionally asked a question or two, which seemed very gentle.

When these soldiers first saw Han Mo, they were a little awe. Although the other party was very young, they were wearing the armor of the Imperial Guard General and had a noble status, so they were careful when talking.

After walking for a while, everyone saw that Han Mo always smiled gently and was extremely easy-going, and they immediately got closer and became much more courageous when speaking.

"We are quite peaceful here." Xiaozhao said: "But sometimes some spies were sent to explore the riverside. If you encounter soldiers from Qing Kingdom crossing the river, if you have a disagreement, you will have to do something. In the early years, they were beaten up a lot of them, and we have also lost a lot of brothers. However, in the past two years, the people of Qing Kingdom have been much more honest and dare not crossing the river, so fewer people will die."

There has not been a major war between Yan and Qing for many years, but the occasional friction between the borders is naturally inevitable.

To guard the border, we naturally need to always figure out the deployment of the troops of the opposing defenders. Sometimes we send spies to inquire about the information, and more often we send some light-equipped scouts to understand the situation on the opposite side. If the scouts on both sides meet, they will naturally meet each other and show no mercy.

After a while, I arrived at a camp and saw hundreds of soldiers gathered there, sitting scattered in the camp. Many people had an iron rice bowl hanging on their waists, which was a guy who was specially used for meals.

Seeing that the pigs were driven, more than a dozen people rushed up, one by one, and shouted: "Brothers, kill pigs and stew them, come and help!"

More than a dozen large pots were set up in the middle of the camp, and the firewood was burning strongly. Hundreds of people cheered. A large group of people came up and saluted respectfully when they saw Han Mo. Then they dragged the fat pig over, rinsed it open, washed it, and then they wanted to put it into the pot to stew the meat.

When Han Mo saw these hundreds of people, he knew that these people must have been as Xiao Mu said, all of whom performed better recently and remembered their military merits, so he rewarded these people for eating pork.

Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "Those turtle calves are feeding the lower body there. Our brothers are not bad luck. They are serious when they eat the meat. After eating the meat, we will have the strength to train well in the next time we will feed the lower body."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly appeared in the crowd.

Another person laughed and said, "Old Hou, you defeated six people in the martial arts field two days ago. Just that, you should be in the top ten in the merit book. There are 100 places to go this time, why did you stay and eat pork with us?"

A heavy voice chuckled and replied, "Xiao Jiang hasn't tasted a woman for almost half a year. This time, I asked me specifically to give him a chance, so I gave him the opportunity. Anyway, I don't have to worry about not having a woman. In the past two years, I have not had a woman for a month!"

"Old Hou, give me this opportunity next time." Someone immediately called out, "I haven't been in there for four fucking months!"

Everyone was talking and laughing loudly, waiting for the meat to cook.

Han Mo listened to the vulgar words of these men, but felt that these soldiers were really in good morale. It was not easy to maintain morale for a long time in the border.

Xiao Huaiyu rewarded the prostitutes and pork, so that the military camp always maintained competition. If there was competition, he naturally gained morale. This was no longer a far-reaching reward than the promotion of officials and ranks. Women and pork were actually more tempting for these soldiers and could inspire their fighting spirit to compete.

...

Han Mo stood outside the camp and looked at the excited people inside, smiled and shook his head. He was about to get on his horse and leave, but he heard a voice behind him, "Hey, isn't this General Han? General Han is busy with military affairs, and he still has the leisure to come here to patrol?"

Han Mo turned his head and saw Xiahou De riding a horse and following four cavalry guards, he was slowly walking towards this side.

"It's so late, has General Xiahou not rested yet?" Han Mo bowed with a smile.

Although Xiahou De showed disdain everywhere since the meeting, Han Mo still respected these border generals who had made outstanding contributions in his heart.

Everyone has some flaws in their personality, just like this General Xiahou, who speaks meanly and has a somewhat arrogant attitude as a general. However, it is undeniable that the peace on the border of the Great Yan Kingdom was exchanged for their passion.

Xiahou De came down from his horse and smiled, "Today is the day to discuss the rewards. The princess happened to rest in my Shuishu Pass again. I was happy, but I couldn't sleep." Looking at the soldiers there stewed meat on the fire, he laughed and said, "General Han usually wears and eats rich clothes and food, so he naturally looks down on this big pot of stewed meat, but for the soldiers, this is a good thing. If there is no credit, they can't even eat this meat. My Northwest soldiers are all brave men. They rely on their ability to eat, eat meat and play with women, and if they don't have the ability, they hide in the tent to sleep!"

How could Han Mo not hear the sarcasm in his words? There was a faint smile on his face, "My soldiers of Dayan are indeed an iron-blooded army. They are still very morale from the war period. The general is indeed capable of commanding troops!"

Xiahou De smiled and shouted loudly: "You trash, General Han, commander of the Imperial Guard, here, don't you know how to come to pay a visit?"

His shout was like a huge thunder. Although the camp was very noisy, his sound was like a thunder on the ground, alarming the soldiers who were laughing there.

Seeing Xiahou De, everyone stood up quickly and quickly lined up in rows, one by one standing like javelins.

When Han Mo saw that the sergeants were standing in the team in an instant, he nodded in his heart. Although Xiahou De spoke sarcastically, judging from the sergeant's reaction, this general was still good to lead the troops.

Xiahou De smiled and said to Han Mo: "General Han, since he is here, why not take a look at the soldiers together? How about your Imperial Guard?"

Han Mo smiled a little maliciously when he saw Xiahou De. He didn't know what tricks the general was thinking about. However, since the other party invited him to come in and take a look, it was difficult to refuse. He could only bow and smile and said, "I'm disturbing!"

The two of them entered the camp side by side. The firewood under the dozen large pots was still very strong, and the aroma of meat had already wafted out of the pot.

"You all see clearly. This is General Han, the deputy envoy of Qing State, this time," Xiahou De said loudly: "General Han is the commander of the Royal Guards' Leopard Camp, and is the first-class general in the capital. Last year, Bozhou County caused a rebellion, and this general Han crossed the Ligu Mountains in the winter, walked around the enemy's back, and defeated the rebels by surprise. Today, the Korean general came here. It is your blessing that you can see this young hero!"

Han Mo smiled slightly and said nothing.

The soldiers looked at each other and realized that the young general was Han Mo who had broken through Ligu Pass.

The matters about Ligu Pass were naturally spread throughout the world, and the soldiers in the northwest naturally knew about it.

When the Ye and Wu families in Bozhou County rebelled and the military information spread, the Qing people began to move on the border. The Northwest Army was on high alert, knowing that the Qing people were looking for an opportunity to invade eastward, stick to the pass, and dared not relax their security against the border.

At that time, Xiao Huaiyu was also preparing to mobilize a small number of troops to help quell the rebellion. However, after the letter of the army was sent to Yanjing, Ligu Pass was captured before he could send troops to order the troops. The coalition forces of the aristocratic families rushed into Ligu Pass, and their morale was greatly boosted and they were invincible. Only then did the Northwest Army defend the territory with peace of mind.

Later, the soldiers even heard that Ligu Pass was broken, and it was the young hero Han Mo who led a cavalry regiment of less than a thousand people to cross the Ligu Mountains in the winter, which gave the rebels a fatal blow.

This matter spread, and those who believed it were, and those who doubted it were even more. It was a topic that the soldiers of the border were talking about at the beginning.

But these soldiers did not expect that the young man standing in front of him was the legendary boy.

Seeing Han Mo's delicate face, many people's eyes were already filled with suspicion.

No matter how you look, this young man is not a person who has made such great contributions.

The school that had led the team to drive pigs only realized that the young man who talked to him along the way turned out to be the legendary young hero, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

"General Han, I think it's very happy that the soldiers can see you with such blessings." Xiahou De smiled and said, "General Han's reputation for bravery has spread throughout the Great Yan, and the soldiers are deeply admired. Why not give advice to the soldiers and make everyone better?"

Han Mo smiled and shook his head and said, "You are polite, General. You are good at leading troops. How dare Han Mo mention the word "suggestion"?"

"General Han, everyone is a soldier, don't be as squeamish as a literati... The ones I look down upon are those literati who just talk but don't practice. No matter how powerful the mouth is, it's useless. On the battlefield, it's still a hard fist." Xiahou De touched the thick beard under his jaw and said, "A soldier must show his real skills, so that people can convince people. General Han, here are all elite soldiers of my soldiers on the Shuishi Road. If you look down on our northwest rough men, take some guidance. Do you think?"

Han Mo knew that Xiahou De was trying to make things difficult for him, so he smiled faintly and asked, "But I don't know how the General General wants Han Mo to give advice?"

"I will select a few soldiers from it, so General Han will try their skills and see how different the Northwest Army is from your Imperial Guard." Xiahou De said with a caress: "General Han will not dislike them as ordinary soldiers, so he is unwilling to give advice, right?" He pointed to a person in the front of the team and said, "They are not cowards. This guy had killed more than a dozen Qing army at the beginning. Although he was only the position of a commander, his skills were very strong!"

Xiahou De climbed to the position of general step by step with his military merits and abilities. For this type of general, the one who disliked the most was the officials of the aristocratic family who relied on the protection of his family to become officials.

No matter how strong and tall Xiahou De is, Han Mo seems too delicate and too weak. Such a family of children become the commander of the Imperial Guard, which makes this veteran veteran feel a little unfair for the Imperial Guard.

He is a very brave person and doesn't care about Han Mo's background and identity. Today, he just wants to make Han Mo look ugly in front of everyone and suppress the majesty of this aristocratic family who rely on the shade of the throne.

Han Mo pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head, "Han Mo doesn't like to fight with others!"

As soon as he said this, many people showed contempt. Xiahou De smiled coldly and said to himself: "It turns out that he is an incompetent person. He retreats in the face of trouble and does not have the slightest backbone of a soldier!"
