Chapter 47 Yang Erlang's Special Physique
……

Inside the tent.

"Captain Wu!"

Deng Dayong walked over and looked at Wu Wen with a smile. The expression on his face was less dull and more respectful than before.

"What's the matter?" Wu Wen looked up.

"His Highness summons you."

Hearing this, Wu Wen stood up.

The two men walked out of the tent one after the other.

"Your Highness, what do you want to see me about?" Wu Wen asked as he walked.

"It's because the captain has made great contributions, and His Highness wants to reward you."

"Achieved great success?"

Wu Wen stopped, looked at him, and asked doubtfully:

"How come I don't know what great merit I have accomplished?"

"Captain Wu is truly a forgetful man.

You advised His Highness that the weather would change and that something might happen in Mingshui County, so His Highness sent Sima Liu to lead troops to provide support in advance, thus preventing Mingshui County from falling into the hands of Liu Heita. "

After listening to Deng Dayong's explanation, Wu Wen nodded in sudden enlightenment, and then asked again: "Then, how is General Luo?"

"Ugh!"

Deng Dayong sighed first, then said with regret: "It's a pity that General Luo died in the battle."

"What? Wasn't Mingshui County captured by Liu Heita?" Wu Wen asked back.

"Alas!" Deng Dayong sighed again and said, "No one expected that Liu Heita would personally lead the army to leave Mingzhou City and attack Mingshui County."

"General Luo was ultimately outnumbered and was beheaded by Liu Heita, and died in battle!"

Hearing this, Wu Wen remained silent.

Unexpectedly, Luo Shixin eventually died in this small Mingshui County.

The reason why Wu Wen went to inform Li Yuanji was that he wanted him to send troops to support in advance for the sake of Mingshui County, which could not be lost, thus avoiding Luo Shixin's death.

Unexpectedly, although Li Yuanji sent troops, he ultimately failed to change the outcome.

The two men came outside the big tent.

Wu Wen enters.

"Your subordinate Wu Wen pays respect to His Highness!"

"Hahaha, Wu Wen, you have done a great service for me this time!"

Li Yuanji looked at him happily and said:
"If it weren't for your reminder, Mingshui County would have been lost, and the plan to besiege Liu Heita would have failed, and all the efforts during this period would have been in vain."

"So, you should be credited with the first merit for this achievement."

Wu Wen said modestly: "I don't deserve it. This credit belongs to Your Highness and many soldiers. I just made a suggestion. If Your Highness hadn't adopted it, planned it, and many soldiers fought to the death, how could we have achieved this great achievement?"

"Okay, well said! Hahaha!"

Li Yuanji was very happy when he saw that Wu Wen attributed most of the credit to him.

"But you have also made contributions, so I have to reward you. You will be promoted two levels. I will appoint you as the captain of benevolence and bravery."

Li Yuanji paused for a moment, then continued: "Although Luo Shixin is dead, his troops are still there. I will hand them over to you to command. You must lead them well and don't let me down!"

Wu Wen raised his head slightly and looked towards Li Yuanji, thinking to himself that promoting himself was secondary, the main purpose was probably the soldiers under Luo Shixin's command!

They had been led by Luo Shixin for a long time, and had fought in many battles. They were all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles. Although they suffered heavy casualties this time, their foundation was still there.

As long as they take a good rest and restore their organization, they will be a strong team again.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wu Wen bowed to express his gratitude.

"Okay, you can leave."

Li Yuanji waved his hand and continued to bury his head in the documents on the table.

Wu Wen withdrew from the tent.

"Congratulations, Captain Wu!"

As soon as he came out, Deng Dayong stepped forward to congratulate him with a smile. Wu Wen smiled and raised his hand to return the greeting.

"I didn't do anything, but I was promoted twice. I feel a little ashamed."

"So, I have to rely more on Guard Deng. Otherwise, with my ability, how can I manage this battalion of soldiers?"

"Captain Wu is really too modest. It is actually my honor to work for Captain Wu."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then he walked towards the shantytown of Dazhai.

Arrived at the Dazhai shantytown.

Wu Wen saw the remnants of the army left by Luo Shixin. Some were sitting or lying down, and their expressions were listless, and it was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the grief of losing their general.

I secretly wondered how to boost the morale of this team and make them become fierce tigers on the battlefield again.

At this moment, he actually saw two familiar figures in the crowd.

Wu Wen walked forward and looked at the two men who were sitting on the ground, their backs leaning against wooden stakes, with injuries on their bodies and looking dejected.

Isn’t this Yang Ergou and Ji Junxian?
"Ergou!" Wu Wen shouted.

Hearing the voice, Yang Ergou looked up and saw Wu Wen's face. A smile immediately appeared on his expressionless face.

"Son!"

"Why are you here?"

At this time, Ji Junxian on the side also raised his head, and saw Wu Wen appear in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Young master, after I left you, I had nowhere to go, so I came to join the army with Brother Ji." Yang Ergou explained.

"Nonsense!" Wu Wen said angrily, "Don't you know how dangerous this battlefield is?"

Hearing this, Yang Ergou looked up at Wu Wen in confusion and asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"

"Can you be the same as me?" Wu Wen asked back.

Then he revealed his identity: "I am the captain of Renyong. From now on, all of you will be under my command!"

"You, stand up and follow me!" Wu Wen pointed at Yang Ergou.

He turned to Deng Dayong and said, "Guardian Deng, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take him away first."

"Don't worry, Captain Wu, just leave everything to me." Deng Dayong nodded.

"go!"

Wu Wen took Yang Ergou back to the tent.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" Wu Wen asked.

Yang Ergou slowly recounted the story, starting from how he joined the army, how he performed so outstandingly that he was chosen by Luo Shixin to join his army, and how he participated in several fierce battles, struggling to survive each time, and how he was finally defeated in Mingshui County.

After listening to the story, Wu Wen looked at him silently.

After a long while, he finally said, "You are really sick. You don't want to stay in Chang'an City, but have to run here."

"You are lucky to be able to survive in Mingshui County!"

"From today on, you are my personal soldier. Stay by my side and don't go anywhere." Wu Wen ordered.

"Okay!" Hearing this, Yang Ergou nodded happily.

Seeing him like this, Wu Wen was still very angry.

"You must be hungry. Eat something!" He handed him some food.

Yang Ergou, who had been starving for a long time, picked it up and ate it.

Then, he said again: "Sir, I am not Yang Ergou anymore."

"Then what's your name?"

"The name you changed for me, Yang Erlang!"

"Erlang, I think you should just call yourself Ergou. You are not as smart as a wolf. You are as stupid as Erhagou."

Although listening to Wu Wen's "scolding", Yang Ergou still had a smile on his face, because to him, this was Wu Wen's concern for him.
