Chapter 31 You are not calling people, you are seducing souls!
The night ends and the day dawns.

That night, the entire Yangjia Village was immersed in grief.

Even the atmosphere in Yang Zhengshan's home seemed particularly solemn.

Although everyone in the Yang family was fine in this battle, so many people were killed and injured in the village, and everyone was still feeling very sad.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning.

Yang Mingzhi went to patrol early in the morning to replace Yang Minghui.

Although they had just experienced a battle, the guarding mission of Yangjia Village had not been relaxed and necessary vigilance and patrols were still necessary.

Fortunately, Yang Zhengshan no longer needs to worry about these things personally. Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi and Yang Mingwu will discuss and handle these matters.

After breakfast, just when Yang Zhengshan was about to go see the wounded, Yang Mingzhi came back in a hurry.

"Dad, the general wanted to see you yesterday!"

"Is there anything wrong with him?" Yang Zhengshan asked with a frown.

Last night he did not let those border soldiers into the village, but only sent them some hot water and food.

His attitude towards the border troops was better than that towards the Hu people, but he was still not without precautions.

Don't think that Darong's army is our own people. In fact, many civilians died under the butcher knife of Darong's own army. Some soldiers and bandits are more terrifying than mountain bandits and Hu cavalry.

"I don't know, he is waiting behind the village!" Yang Mingzhi said.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it and walked towards the back of the village.

When he arrived at the village, he saw Zhou Lan directing a dozen soldiers to carry a lot of things.

"I, a humble commoner, greet the general!" Yang Zhengshan bowed and said.

"You brave man saved my life, no need to be polite!" Zhou Lan bowed in return and said.

Yang Zhengshan raised his head and looked at Zhou Lan.

But when he saw this, he was stunned.

female!

Although the two had fought side by side yesterday, he really didn't notice that the general was actually a woman.

It's not his fault. Zhou Lan looked so disheveled yesterday, her face was so gray that her true appearance couldn't be seen at all. In addition, her voice was hoarse and sounded almost like a man's, so Yang Zhengshan naturally thought that this was a man.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan in a daze, Zhou Lan smiled and said, "I think you don't know my identity yet, warrior. I am Zhou Lan, the guerrilla commander of the Left Camp of Chongshan Town!"

Yang Zhengshan was stunned again.

There are two types of military systems in Darong: the Weisuo system and the conscription system.

The Wei Suo system refers to the establishment of Wei Suo from the capital to the prefectures and counties, which were controlled externally by the Dusi and internally by the Five Military Governor's Office.

The conscription system involves spending money to recruit soldiers according to strict standards. Not only are they paid, but they are also exempt from corvée and taxes.

The Weisuo system combines soldiers with farming and garrisoning, while the conscription system is to train professional soldiers.

The border troops had both a garrison system and a conscription system.

The forts on the border defense line all belong to garrison troops, which means they farm while guarding the forts.

The Zhenbiao Camp was a recruited army. Chongshan Town had five Zhenbiao Camps, located in the front, back, left, right and center. Each camp had between three thousand and five thousand soldiers, all of whom were elite troops.

Back then, he had joined the border army through recruitment, and with his martial arts skills, he became a soldier in the front camp of Chongshan Town.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan was quite familiar with the Chongshan Town Flag Camp.

The woman in front of me turned out to be the guerrilla general of Zhenbiao Zuoying!

The guerrilla general was usually appointed by the deputy commander, which means that this person was actually a third-rank military officer.

Third rank!
A strange look flashed in Yang Zhengshan's eyes.

This is not in compliance with the rules of the town standard camp!

The Zhenbiaoying camp implements a conscription system, and always gives priority to the strong.

To put it simply, if you want to hold an important position, you must have the corresponding cultivation and strength.

The guerrilla general is the commander of a battalion. According to the memory of his original body, he should have at least the fifth level of acquired cultivation.

But the woman in front of him should only have the second or third level of acquired cultivation.

Yang Zhengshan could only think of two reasons for this situation. First, the current Zhenbiao Camp was somewhat different from the Zhenbiao Camp 20 years ago, so it did not conform to the rules in the original body's memory. Second, this woman had an extraordinary background and could break some of the border army's rules.

Or maybe it was both reasons. But none of these had anything to do with Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan just thought about it, then bowed again and said, "Greetings, General Zhou!"

"You saved my life, so you don't have to be polite. If you don't mind, you can call me by my name, Brother Yang!" Zhou Lan said.

Her calling him "Brother Yang" made Yang Zhengshan shudder.

What do you mean?
Why do you call me big brother?
Even though he helped Zhou Lan a lot, there was no need to call her so intimately.

This is a feudal society, and the strict separation between men and women is like a shackle that locks everyone up. Not to mention calling someone "big brother", even strangers of both sexes have to be cautious when speaking to each other.

This is the case in the village, not to mention among those aristocratic families, where the various rigid rules are even more outrageous.

As for women joining the army, it is not uncommon.

Martial arts are popular, and the army needs strong warriors. There are also many martial arts masters among women, so it is inevitable that some extraordinary women will appear in the army.

These extraordinary women may be more relaxed about the rigid rules, but some rules still need to be followed.

It's a bit against the rules to call someone "big brother" as soon as you come up to him.

However, Yang Zhengshan was not frightened because Zhou Lan broke the rules. As a time traveler, why would he care about those messy rules?

The reason why he shuddered was because Zhou Lan's call of "Brother" was so gentle.

That's right, it's gentle.

The voice seemed to pierce Yang Zhengshan's heart like a hook.

Yesterday, the woman's words were as unpleasant as torn rags, but today, when she called him "big brother", Yang Zhengshan's heart was numb.

Meow!

This woman is sick!

He didn't think the sound was pleasant, but rather felt very uncomfortable, and even got goosebumps.

The word "brother" made Yang Zhengshan take a step back involuntarily, looking at Zhou Lan with surprise and suspicion.

Only then did he realize that Zhou Lan seemed to be a pretty woman, with an oval face, big eyes, double eyelids, and delicate features, but her skin was a little rough.

She should be around 30 years old, and her figure, uh, it's hard to tell. She was wearing a cotton armor that wrapped her body tightly, and it was impossible to tell the thickness.

Nonsence!

Is your vision a little distorted?
Yang Zhengshan quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Zhou Lan with a wry smile, "General Zhou, just call me by my name!"

He really can't bear being called "big brother".

The goose bumps haven't gone away yet.

Zhou Lan seemed to feel that her way of calling "Brother" was a little too tactful, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Brother Zhengshan!"

Embarrassed, she called out again in a deliberately hoarse voice.

"Uh, uh, this is much more comfortable!" Yang Zhengshan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

So embarrassing!

It’s not like I haven’t seen women before.

But I really can't bear it when you call me "big brother".

You are not calling people, you are seducing souls!
Zhou Lan's face turned even redder.

"Ahem." She coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment in her heart, then pointed to the pile of things behind her and said, "This is the spoils of war. The credit belongs to us, and the spoils belong to you!"

Oops, that was too fake, I made a fool of myself!

It’s all that bastard Niuduzi’s fault. He forced me to act weak, saying that being weak can make people feel close to me.

I've said it before, I'm not a weak person!

Zhou Lan pointed at the spoils on the hillside and complained in her heart.

Yang Zhengshan had no idea of ​​what she was complaining about. He raised his head and looked up the hillside, only to see the soldiers carrying a large pile of things like ants moving house.

There were leather armor, cotton clothes, weapons, bows and arrows, and more than a dozen dead horses, all piled up in a large area.
