"Old Tang, I haven't seen each other for a long time!" After cleaning up the mess, Xu Yutang smiled at a man in armor and said, "I didn't expect that you would be here to support us this time. Now, we two brothers can take advantage of this opportunity to get together!"

The man who was called "Old Tang" also smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about reminiscing about the past. Official affairs are important. This time, General Meng promised me ten days. When we finish cooking the things here, it will not be too late to drink a few more jars at that time!"

"Okay, okay!" Xu Yutang immediately laughed: "At that time, I will definitely drink one and never return without getting drunk!"

The two were chatting, when Tang Kangping suddenly paused, and he let out a "huh", his eyes fell under a pillar not far away, or rather, on a bandit who fell under the bridge.

"This person..." Tang Kangping whispered and walked quickly towards the bandit, but when he had just walked over and saw the appearance of the bandit clearly, his face showed a look of shock and said in surprise: "Liu Aiguo!"

Tang Kangping squatted down and looked at Liu Aiguo for a while. After a while, he said to himself: "He is dead!"

"What, Lao Tang, do you know him?" Xu Yutang said in confusion.

Tang Kangping sighed, stood up, turned to Xu Yutang and explained: "This person's name is Liu Aiguo. He was a comrade-in-arms who lived in the same camp with me when I first joined the army. He joined the army a year earlier than me and took good care of me. However, not long after, he was transferred out of the Mo Army. It is said that he was transferred to your desert army to be a centurion. I didn't expect that he would die here when he saw him again today!"

Tang Kangping said, his tone inevitably had some memories and feelings.

But Xu Yutang shook and said seriously: "Old Tang, although I don't want to say that,... he was not a sacrifice! He was a bandit that was wiped out by us!"

"Is he a bandit?" Tang Kangping was stunned. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "Old Xu, this joke is not funny! You may not know that when Liu Aiguo was in the Mo Army, even General Meng praised him for his talent as a powerful general. If he had not been transferred to the Waste Army, he would have been promoted with two more years of qualifications!"

Xu Yutang's smile was restrained, and his expression became extremely serious at this moment. He said seriously: "Old Tang, you and me have been in a relationship for more than ten years. Do you think I would joke with you in such a thing?"

When Tang Kangping heard this, he thought to himself: Yes, Lao Xu and I have known each other for almost twenty years. He has always been a steady person, so how could he make such a joke with me?

Thinking in his heart, Tang Kangping was shocked and quickly confirmed: "He is really a bandit?"

Xu Yutang nodded, and he said in a serious tone: "I just encountered something. I originally thought it might be a coincidence, but now after hearing what you said, it seems that things are not that simple!"

"What's the matter?" Tang Kangping asked subconsciously, but he soon realized that Xu Yutang was in office work and everything he encountered was a military aircraft and could not be asked casually, so he immediately said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

Xu Yutang smiled and said, "It's okay to tell you. In fact, what I encountered is the same as yours now."

"Same as I am now?" Tang Kangping said to himself, then was shocked again and said, "You..."

Xu Yutang nodded slowly and said, "I also met someone I know among this bandit!"

Tang Kangping said nothing, and he continued to listen to Xu Yutang's words.

"This person is named Lu Changchun. I met him once a few years ago. Although his friendship is not deep, he has some impressions because he is quite good at martial arts." Xu Yutang sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "He was not at the time, and the deserted army has not fought any major battles in recent years. You know, you can't be promoted without military merits. So when I saw him again, I felt that he should have retreated from the army. But now after hearing you talk about this Liu Aiguo, I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart!"

Xu Yutang paused and asked, "Old Tang, do you say that Liu Aiguo was transferred from your Mo Army to the Centurion to the Waste Army. Is this matter written by official documents?"

"Yes, this matter is absolutely true!" Tang Kangping nodded.

When Xu Yutang heard this, he took a deep breath and continued, "My current position is the centurion in the deserted army. You may not know that the positions of centurion, squadron leader, squadron leader, and squadron leader are different. If every general or above who wants to retire from the army, he must publicly submit documents and request instructions. I won't say that in the past few years, no one has applied for retirement. In other words, Liu Aiguo is actually still in the deserted army!"

"If he was still in the desert army, how could he come here to be a bandit? He even stole the things from our own family?" Tang Kangping frowned.

Xu Yutang shook his head and said, "This is my confusion! You also know that there are many factions in our deserted army. Now there are fewer wars against the people of the Western Regions, but there are more disputes among our own people. The current deserted army is no longer as united as ten years ago, so I don't know many things!"

The Liang State had two main forces, Mo. The desert army was mainly stationed in the western part of Liang State to resist the Tubo tribes in the Western Regions, while the Desert Army was used to guard the border between Liang State and Jin State bordering Nanling and Jin State.

It is natural to say that Nanling is in chaos, and Jin State is also a country that has to be provoked in every few days, so the Mo army often needs to fight, so military achievements are naturally indispensable. However, because Tubo was settled, the desert army was idle, and even centurions like Xu Yutang were sent to escort the money.

Without war, there will be no military merits, which leads to the fact that if some people want to move up, then some people will be dragged down, and the internal struggle of the deserted army also began!

The two of them were talking, but they heard a shout behind them.

"Report!"

Xu Yutang turned his head and saw Dong Cai, Gao Jian and the others running over quickly, shouting: "Report to the general, please forgive me for being incompetent. The bandits' light skills are really great. Although the subordinates chased with all their might, they only caught a part of them. Although the main culprit ran away, this thing fell on his body!"

After Dong Cai finished speaking, he took out a jade token from his arms and could tell that it was valuable by just a glance.
