That afternoon.
Chang 'an blew the horn.
The dull sound of the bugle horn echoed through the capital of the Great Tang.
The residents of Chang 'an were extremely surprised.
What was going on? Was there another war at the border?
Immediately after, the four guards of the Imperial Army walked out of the camp and lined up in an orderly manner, walking from the east gate to the west gate.
Seeing this scene, Chang 'an was shocked.
Everyone was stunned.
It was the emperor's four imperial guards. Even they had been mobilized.
Heavens!
Is our Great Tang in danger? Even the emperor's personal army has to be sent to the battlefield.
Who is attacking us?
Could it be…could it be the Turks?
At this moment.
Endless fear surged into the hearts of the residents of Chang 'an like a tide.
Three years ago, the scene of the Turks besieging Chang 'an with an army of 200,000 was still vivid in his mind.
Now, they had gone south to the Central Plains.
That was a Turk with 300,000 strings!
Who in the Great Tang could resist such a terrifying grassland power?
Finished, finished!
The Great Tang was finished.
The residents of Chang 'an looked terrified as they watched the imperial guards walk into the distance.
The flags embroidered with the words "Hou" and "Cheng" fluttered high in the wind, but they could not bring anyone any peace of mind.
If Generals Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin were truly so powerful, the Turks wouldn't have been able to hold the border every year and even surround the Great Tang capital.
Now, who can save the Great Tang and the people of the Central Plains?
Hundreds of thousands of Chang 'an residents were praying and wailing in their hearts
…Suzhou Camp.
Chen An sat on the main seat of the commander's tent and kept reading the names on the list.
"Many forwards!"
With a childish voice, the scout called "Many Qian" quickly ran into the commander's tent.
"Greetings, Lord Minister An!"
"No need for formalities, come over!"
"Yes, sir!"
Many Qian immediately ran over and took a brocade pouch from the young prime minister.
Before Chen An could say anything, he smiled and said,""An Xiang, I understand, I understand. This lowly one will definitely follow the secret instructions on the brocade pouch and sit down without a single mistake.”
"It's good that you understand! Go, hurry to Changle County overnight."
"Understood!"
Many of them bowed and left quickly.
Immediately after, another scout entered the commander's tent and received a new brocade bag.
"Minister An, don't worry. I will definitely follow the instructions of the brocade bag and won't act on my own!”
"Very good. Go!"
"Here!"
After that, the next one, and the next one…
outside the marshal's tent.
Scout Zhang stood straight and quietly waited for the little prime minister, who was extremely resourceful, to call his name.
He waited for a long time.
Until after an hour, the clouds are high
When all the scouts entered the commander's tent and received the new secret order, the young Prime Minister's childish voice finally came from the commander's tent.
"Zhang the Fifth!"
Scout Zhang was overjoyed and quickly ran into the commander's tent.
"This humble Zhang the Fifth greets Lord Minister An!”
"No need for formalities!"
Chen An said softly. Then, he did not ask the other party to come forward to receive the new brocade bag. Instead, he quietly looked at him.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths…
Scout Zhang panicked. He didn't know what had happened.
Why was it that when others entered the commander's tent, they could receive a new brocade bag, but when it was his turn, he could not?
What was going on?
Could it be that the matter of him wanting to open the brocade bag in advance three days ago was exposed?
But at that time, he only had such a thought, but in the end, he did not do it!
Was the little prime minister going to settle the score?
It was over, it was over.
Thinking of this, Zhang Scouting was so scared that his entire body trembled.
However…
at this moment.
"Zhang the Fifth, from Suzhou, age 22. There was a mother, a wife, and a three-year-old child at home. Am I right?" Chen An asked softly. His expression was extremely solemn.
Hearing the question, Zhang Wulang hurriedly nodded."Yes!"
"Very good! I have a mission for you, can you complete it?”
What was that? 'Death' mission?
Hearing this, Zhang the Fifth was shocked."This, this
…If you can complete this task, I will personally report to the emperor and ask for merit for you. In addition, your youngest son can enter school to study in the future. When he grows up, he can either enter the military as a lieutenant or become a county magistrate in the west of the river.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the color of Zhang the Fifth's face rapidly changed, sometimes green, sometimes red, sometimes white…In an
instant, all the colors turned red.
In the dark, his eyes seemed to surge with endless flames. It was the fire of desire, burning fiercely.
The greatest wish of the ancients in their lives was: To bring honor to our ancestors.
There was no hope for him in this life. He could only be a scout until his death.
Since they were going to die sooner or later, why not exchange their cheap lives for the precious future of their 'parents'?
Thinking of this, Zhang the Fifth straightened his body and stood extremely straight.
At this moment, he no longer feared the power of Chen An.
This was the contempt of a dying person towards a living person.
"Minister An, is this true?"
Zhang the Fifth asked calmly.
Hearing this, Chen An nodded heavily.""I'm a man of my word!”
"Good! Wulang believes you. I'll accept this mission. But before that, Wulang had another request.”
"Please speak!"
At this moment, Chen An rarely used honorifics.
This was respect for a hero.
"Wulang's knowledge is shallow. He only attended private school for two years when he was young and only knows a few common words. My youngest son is already three years old this year, and he hasn't given a formal name yet. Prime Minister An's talent is unparalleled in the world and his reputation is famous all over the world. Here, Wulang dared to give the Zhang family's youngest son an official name in front of all the generals in the army!”
Zhang the Fifth bowed and said sincerely.
"Alright, I've agreed!”
Chen An nodded and immediately ordered Yue Qianshan to summon the generals.
Hearing the message, the generals rushed over and instantly filled the commander's tent.
At this moment.
In front of all the generals, Chen An instantly stood up and shouted,""Generals, witness: Zhang the Fifth. This man is loyal and brave, brave to the national disaster. I admire him and have heard that Zhang the Fifth has a young son who has yet to be named.”
"I have compassion in my heart, so I dare to give him a name. The name is only one word, saying: Lie! Zhang Lie!"
"I hope that he will be like my father, with great ambitions and will never yield to the foreign races.”
"Zhang the Fifth, are you satisfied?”
As the voice fell, Zhang the Fifth instantly knelt down and kowtowed."Wulang thanks Prime Minister An for bestowing his name on my youngest son.”
"Warrior Zhang, please rise!"
After saying that, Chen An grinded the paper and personally wrote the two words "Zhang Lie". He then ordered Yue Qianshan to bring it to the Zhang family and hand it over to the Zhang family's mistress.
"Thank you again, Minister An. Zhang the Fifth will definitely fight to the death!”
"Very good! Come here, take this brocade bag and rush to Changle overnight. Do things according to the secret order on this brocade bag!”
"Here!"
Zhang the Fifth walked over and took the brocade bag. He put it in his bosom and hid it close to his body.
"Prime Minister An, I'm leaving!"
"Hero, go first. I won't go back on my promise!”
"Thank you so much!"
With that said, Zhang the Fifth turned around and walked out of the commander's tent with the conviction that he would die. He ran toward the distant border.
He would never be able to return.
As they watched the man leave, everyone suddenly raised their hands, clenched their fists, and punched their chests with their right fists in a solemn Tang military salute.
Ask the world, what is a "hero"?
Only them!
Just like the saying that was often said two thousand years later: They were all a group of cute people!
