Chapter IX Eight Generals
Chapter 9: Eight Generals (This chapter is free)
In the third year of Xiping (174 AD).
In the military camp, a strong smell of medicine floated in the room of the old man Huangfu Gui. The old man closed his eyes slightly and leaned listlessly against the couch. The old man's withered face could not see any fire. His originally tall body now had only skin and bones.
The Pegasus Ranch in early spring is still cold, but the old man's room is warm. The charcoal fire in the fire brazier beside the bed is burning vigorously, emitting bursts of heat. Since last winter, the old man has been unable to get sick. He thought it would improve in spring, but unexpectedly it is even more serious. Now he has difficulty breathing.
"Oh, I'm old, it's useless." The old man looked at the roof with a little dull eyes, where a spider was busy making nets. The old man looked at it for a while and sighed.
The door opened gently from outside, and the twelve-year-old Huangfu Jian walked in carefully with a bowl of medicine and said softly: "Grandpa, it's time to take medicine."
"Jian'er is here? Didn't you tell you that it's enough to let Jieyou girl do it? What do you think of a big man doing these things!" The old man muttered helplessly, with a little bit of blame in his tone. A man feeding soup with medicine does not meet the aristocratic standards in the old man's mind.
One winter, the old man spent all his life on the sickbed, and he relied on medicine to maintain his life. The doctor also invited a lot of people, but it didn't improve. The most painful thing was the child. He had to ask about the soup and feed the medicine every day. He still didn't listen to it many times, and he had to complete heavy lessons every day. With Sun Ruo, the old man was both heartache and very pleased!
The old man's mouth of Jieyou girl of course refers to Princess Jieyou. In five years, Princess Jieyou has grown from the little girl who was ignorant of the world to a fifteen-year-old girl with a flower-like age and a mysterious appearance.
Although Princess Jieyou was clearly Huangfu Jian's accompanying him, neither the old man nor Huangfu Jian himself regarded her as an outsider. The old man regarded her as a granddaughter. Not only did she teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but even the Huangfu family's ancestors' guns and Juejian were all given to her.
But everyone has different personalities and preferences. Princess Jieyou can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at one point, and is particularly good at handling various government affairs, but her martial arts skills are not satisfactory. In five years, no matter whether the Huangfu family's domineering spear or the Jue Sword came to her, she could not see any domineering taste. However, after five years of training, Princess Jieyou's figure is even more delicate and gentle, like a begonia that is about to bloom, delicate and charming than before.
Princess Jieyou is also grateful to the old man. After the old man became ill, she took good care of him.
"Sister Jieyou is outside. She has cooked this medicine. I just brought it in. Grandpa, you should take the medicine first." Huangfu Jian quickly defended.
In five years, Huangfu Jian and Jieyou's feelings continued to rise. When Huangfu Jian heard the old man mention Jieyou's name, a sweet feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
Huangfu Jian took the copper spoon from the bowl and carefully handed it to the old man's mouth. He watched the old man drink the medicine with difficulty. However, his tears couldn't help but flow. Only he knew best that the old man had come to an end, and even his arrival could not change the old man's destiny.
"Child, it's hard for you. You will take care of people at such a young age. How are you doing today's homework? You can't fall behind." The old man felt a little sad when he saw the tears in Huangfu Jian's eyes, and he broke the topic.
"It's all done, grandpa." Huangfu Jian replied.
Huangfu Jian has lived a very fulfilling life in the past few years and has been accompanied by worries. The lonely soul has found some comfort and has become much happier.
Huangfu Jian's life was arranged by the old man. He either danced guns, sticks or writing ink all day long, and had no free time. The old man not only focused on cultivating his temperament, but also focused on cultivating his temperament, but even his daily life was arranged according to the standards of aristocratic people, without any ambiguity.
In the words of the old man, Huangfu Jian will be a noble person in the future. He must have the style of a noble person, and he cannot be taught to be a vulgar martial artist.
In five years, the old man taught his decades of experience of struggling on the battlefield to Huangfu Jian bit by bit.
It is often Huangfu Jian jumping on the horse and swinging his gun, Princess Jieyou is with him, and the old man is watching, or playing a piano song. The joy and affection are lingering, which attracts the envious eyes of countless people in the valley. The master, servant, grandfather and grandson also add a unique style to Bo Luogu.
The old man had extremely strict requirements for Huangfu Jian, almost strict. However, the old man's care for Huangfu Jian was meticulous. The old man was knowledgeable and experienced in society, and almost involved all levels of society. This benefited Huangfu Jian, the modern soul, very much. Before he knew it, he also respected the old man more. Huangfu Jian felt the value of family affection for the first time.
The twelve-year-old Huangfu Jian is already seven feet tall, born with divine power, and can use his arms to open a strong bow with six stones. The Huangfu family's ancestors' domineering spear. After the improvement of Huangfu Rules, Jue Jian is more concise and sharp. It is a kind of kung fu that can exert its power to the extreme. It is full of domineering spirit, especially suitable for fighting in battle formations. The Huangfu family has the foundation of a weird sword in his previous life. The domineering spear, Jue Jian is even more powerful in his hands.
Huangfu Jian's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all true in the old man's history, but all he lacks is Huohou. Combining the popular contemporary official script and small regular script from his previous life, he also created a unique regular script calligraphy, which made the old man praise him.
After the old man finished the medicine, he was a little more energetic. He seemed to remember something and said to Huangfu Jian: "Jian'er, I'll order someone to call your Grandpa Zhao, Hua Xiong, and the eight generals. Grandpa has something to tell them."
Not long after, the strategist Zhao Qi, the commander of the personal guard Hua Xiong, the candidates of the eight generals, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, and Ma Wan all rushed to the old man's room. Huangfu Jian and Jieyou were with him.
"You have been following me for a while. With your ability, you should have galloped on the battlefield, conquered the world, and made achievements. But because of me, I have avoided the world in this valley. Although I am free and at ease, I have buried my talents. It is a pity!"
"I am already a vain person, but my grandson Jian'er grew up. He can continue to make a name for himself and make great achievements with everyone!"
There was only the old man's low and hoarse voice in the room, and everyone listened with their breath.
After the old man finished speaking, he took out a jade seal from the head of the bed. Although this seal is not the kind recognized by the government, it is a symbol of supreme power in this Pegasus ranch and is more effective than the jade seal of the emperor.
The old man handed the seal to Huangfu Jian tremblingly, stroked his head lovingly, and looked at the people in the room.
"I have not left anything in my life, only you brave soldiers and this ranch. From today on, I will hand over this ranch to Jian'er, and you must work together to assist him. Everyone believes in my vision. Following Jian'er will never bury you. Come and greet you!"
This is a power transfer ceremony. Although it is not very formal, the meaning it expresses is very clear.
"See the young master! We will do our best to assist the young master."
Among these people, Zhao Qi is the oldest, and is already a great figure in Huangfu Jian’s grandfather, and the rest are also his uncles. At this time, they all respectfully knelt at Huangfu Jian’s feet.
Princess Jieyou, who was beside her, couldn't help but kneel down when she saw this!
"No gifts, please come up quickly! Jian'er will rely on everyone in the future." Huangfu Jian was not polite either. All this is natural in this era.
Huangfu Jian has figured it out. He lived for the country and the organization in his previous life, but since God gave him another chance to be reborn and came to this chaotic world where heroes emerged, wouldn’t he be ashamed of this hero in the world? And if he wants to join the world, he must have enough capital!
Pegasus Ranch, these old ministers’ old ministers will be his capital to join the world!
The kneeling just now not only established the identity of the owner of Huangfu Jian Ranch, but also the loyalty of these old ministers to him.
"Very good! I'm relieved if Jian'er has you helping me!"
"Biqing, I will entrust Jian'er to you. Hua Xiong is responsible for Jian'er's safety!" The old man looked at the two right-hand assistants in a complicated mood and said in a trembling voice.
"Don't be careless either, guard the ranch!" The old man's eyes turned to the eight general candidates, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, and Ma Wan.
Huangfu Jian's eyes were wet and his heart was like a knife. It was obvious that the old man was worried about himself and entrusting himself to everyone. This was entrusting the orphan! He didn't dare to look at the old man, and he couldn't help but cry.
With the old man's eyes, Huangfu Jian also carefully looked at the candidates of the eight generals, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan. These eight people were not profound in his previous life's memory. They only knew that they had rebelled against Cao with Han Sui and Ma Chao. But Huangfu Jian did not dare to underestimate them because of this. How could it be the eight generals of the old man so young?
One of the eight generals, the candidate of "White-Faced Crazy Tiger", is the commander of the eight hundred cavalry, with a white face without beard, and is seven feet and five inches tall, looking like a white-faced Confucian scholar, but this is just his appearance, with an iron spear in his palm, and his family's "Crazy Spear Method" is invincible, and both wise and brave.
Cheng Yin, the second of the eight generals, is the "Iron Tower": the commander of the 800 cavalry avant-garde, eight feet and five inches tall, tall and powerful, with a black face, and an iron tower with his arms that can hold a thousand pounds, holding a large iron rod weighing 180 pounds in his hand. He is a general of the tiger.
Yang Qiu, the third general of the eight generals, is the commander of the eight hundred cavalry guards, with a medium figure, and no special thing. He is good at using a long spear, "Bagua Gun" with both offense and defense, and is well-behaved in military use, but he can produce surprise troops at critical moments. He is a wise general.
Li Kan, the fourth "door god" of the eight generals, is the leader of the five hundred sword shield, eight feet tall, wide and round waist, the golden-backed machete and meteor shield in his hand are more than twice as heavy as ordinary sword shields, made of iron, with sharp serrated edges, and a thick and solid iron chain to tie each other. A move "Flying Stars from the Sky" is his unique skill.
There is a saying in the Pegasus Ranch that "door god" is good at guarding and "crazy tiger" is good at attacking.
Zhang Heng, the fifth general of the Eight Generals, said that he was the deputy commander of the Five Hundred Swords and Shield Hand, who was eight feet tall, and he said that his voice was loud and his words were like thunder in the sky.
Liang Xing, the sixth general of the eight generals, is the leader of five hundred archers, eight feet tall, and one eight stone mountain bow. It is a disaster star for the enemy generals and can take the general's head in the chaos.
The seventh "Black Son" of the Eight Generals Cheng Yi: Five hundred archers and left guards, with a medium figure, one hand shots out of magic, the arrow shooting angle is tricky and weird, making people unable to defend themselves, and the skin is dark, like a messenger in the dark night.
The eight generals, the eight "Thousand-Handed Boy", horse play: the commander of the right guard of the five hundred archers, is short and looks like a young man with a strong bow with three stones. His specialty skills are one bow and four arrows, and the speed of the arrow is as fast as lightning, about five times that of ordinary people.
