Chapter 193: The Old Soldier of Jimen Pass

The news of Li Xin's return spread soon, and the two generals from the lieutenant camp came out of the post station to welcome Li Xin, the boss.

The old lieutenant Wang Zhong also walked out of the inn and looked up and down at Li Xin. After seeing that Li Xin had nothing to do, he felt relieved.

After retreating from the battlefield, this old lieutenant had been in the Yulin Guard for twenty or thirty years. When he was young, some people flattered him, but later he became older and was still a lieutenant. Seeing that he had no future, everyone rarely paid attention to him.

In recent years, only Li Xin, a young man, has been quite polite to him and will call him a master when he speaks.

The old captain, who was a little sloppy and gray-haired, shook his head, pulled Li Xin to several stone stools in the innyard, sat down, took out the wine bag from his waist and stuffed it into Li Xin's hand.

"Take a few sips to relieve your shock."

Li Xin looked at Wang Zhong in surprise: "How did Master Wang know that I was frightened in the capital?"

Wang Zhong glared at Li Xin: "When you left that day, I thought you had gone to the capital to die. Although it's okay now, I think there have been many twists and turns in the past few days."

Li Xin happily took his wine bag, raised his head and took a sip.

Wang Zhong's wine bag was filled with bad wine, which was not very good, but it was quite spicy.

The old captain smiled happily, took his wine bag back, stuffed it back into his waist, and then reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder: "Okay, take a drink and find a room to rest. We have to hurry up tomorrow morning."

Li Xin nodded to the old captain and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Wang, I'm fine."

Wang Zhong carried his hands on his back and bent down slightly and walked further and further: "At your age, no matter what good or bad things happen, it can be considered a good thing."

After a moment, Wang Zhong was gone.

Li Xin shook his head, found a room in the inn, and fell asleep.

Although there have been no danger in the past few days, Li Xin still spent a lot of effort. Although the conditions at this station are simple, he still slept soundly.

Along the way, Li Xin and 400 people tried to rest during the day and rush around the road. They walked for more than a month. Although they encountered several twists and turns along the way, they finally walked to Jimen Pass without any danger.

Jimen Pass is the first pass in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty and the first pass in the north to the south. The Zhenbei Army Commander's tent in the Great Jin Dynasty is in the city of Jimen Pass.

After a month or two of running around, the old captain Wang Zhong and Mu Ying, who had black skin, could not see any changes. Li Xin was tanned a lot, and his whole body turned into wheat-colored, looking a little mature, no longer like an unreliable young man.

In the past month, Wang Zhong not only taught Li Xin to practice boxing, but also taught him some of the basics of choosing a camping position and marching his own troops. After more than a month, the young man who once knew nothing had become a qualified military officer.

At least he can clearly understand the command of the four hundred people under his command.

Jimen Pass is far away.

The old captain Wang Zhong stood in a big cart in front, looked at the tall Jimenguan from afar, and finally sighed deeply.

Li Xin rode on the dark cloud horse and walked side by side with the cart. He glanced at the rare sentimental old captain, and smiled and said, "Master Wang, aren't you from the south? Why are you connected with Jimen Pass?"

Wang Zhong glanced back at Li Xin indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ye took us all the way north from the capital. It took us eight years to destroy the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Finally, he fought near Jimen Pass. Mars. Ye said he would fight here, so we stopped going north."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhong felt a little sad: "It was also at that time that Marshal Ye was recalled to the capital. I and my brothers were also indifferent and followed Marshal Ye back to the capital. Later, the court arranged for me to come to this Yulin Guard. In a blink of an eye, it had been more than 30 years..."

The Marshal Ye mentioned by Wang Zhong is Ye Sheng, Duke of Chen.

Li Xin originally only knew that the old captain retreated from the army, but he didn't know which army he was very clear. Now when he heard him speak out, he felt a little more admiration in his heart.

Wang Zhong is less than 60 years old this year, which means that when he retreated from the army with Ye Sheng, he would not be over 30 years old. This is the peak age of a military man!

You should know that when Wang Zhong first entered the Yulin Guard, he was a lieutenant, but he didn't know how to be a human being. He had not made any progress in the past 30 years and was assigned to the Yulin Guard as a lieutenant as soon as he retreated. It can be seen that he was not an unknown soldier in the Northern Expedition Army at that time. If Wang Zhong was willing to stay in the army, he might become a general now.

However, just because Ye Sheng was recalled to Beijing, Wang Zhong and his group were also discouraged, so they simply followed Ye Sheng back to Beijing and had a leisurely job in Yulin Guard.

Wang Zhong stretched out his finger and pointed at Jimen Pass not far away, raised his head slightly, and said, "This Jimen Pass is the northern gateway of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was led by Marshal Ye to fight down and has since become the gateway of my Great Jin!"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Master Wang, the current commander of the Northern Army is Ye Ming, the eldest son of Duke Ye Guo, do you recognize it?"

Wang Zhong shook his head: "Uncle Ye left Beijing more than ten years ago. At that time, I was already working in the capital and I didn't have the chance to meet Uncle Ye."

The old captain said in a daze: "But Marshal Ye's son will not be far from anything."

OK, this is a brainless fan of Ye Sheng...

Li Xin reached out and patted his shoulder, and smiled and said, "Talk about it, I have a relationship with Duke Ye. This time when we return to the capital, I will take Master Wang to meet Duke Ye."

Wang Zhong was excited at first, then took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "I heard that Marshal Ye has not been in a good situation over the years. He has not been out of the door in recent years. We old subordinates should not go to see him, so as not to cause trouble for him."

As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived near Jimen Pass. Several border soldiers in armor looked up and down at Li Xin and his group, and said, "Where did you come from?"

Li Xin sat on the dark clouds and said loudly: "Li Xin, the captain of the Yulin Guard, Wang Zhong, was ordered by the Emperor of the Holy Emperor to escort the military funds and send them to the Zhenbei Army!"

The young man was a little suspicious and immediately reported it. Soon a young man in the team ran over. He first glanced at Li Xin, and then asked, "Military capital has always been escorted by the Ministry of War. How can the imperial guards escort military capital?"

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "This batch of things is a bit special, so the Holy Emperor is escorting him by his own army."

"Can there be a document?"

"have."

Li Xin took out the documents that were verified by the Ministry of War from his sleeve, and the documents that were sealed by the Shangshutai and handed them over.

These two things are indispensable. If the procedure goes wrong, these border troops may shoot Li Xin and others in a random moment.

After half an hour, the border troops finally confirmed the court's documents, made a way out, and let Li Xin and the others in.
