Chapter 561 "Making Trouble"

After Zhang Heizi finished arranging the military affairs, he coughed and said: "
Everyone, get back to your respective teams and get ready, there's no food left here for you."
Once he had sent everyone away, Zhang Heizi kept Guan Ping behind.
Guan Ping was still speculating when Zhang He suddenly spoke up: "
“小关，你不会怪我吧。我这次又让你做排头，可有怨言？”
Without hesitation, Guan Ping shook his head and sincerely replied:
“关平不敢，更不会有此心。关平明白，这排头任务不知道有多少队要抢，我要是还不知好歹，那不是狼心狗肺吗？”
Zhang Heizi laughed out loud and then composed himself, saying:
“我一开始是不想收你的，因为我觉得你就是膏粱子弟，吃不得苦，就是来混军功的。不然如何从危险的突骑系统到我帐下？”
Please explain, Zhang Heizi gestured: "
“那是以前，现在我知道你是个好小伙。好好干，我看好你！”
Guang Ping nodded seriously and then prepared to leave.
And as he walked towards the stage curtain, he suddenly heard Zhang Heizi whisper, "
Your foster father is just a foster father after all. In the end, everything depends on oneself."
关平愣了一下，扭头对张黑子重重点了点头，随后阔步出帷幕。
Behind him, Zhang Heizi smiled happily.
……
关平回到队里的时候，还带着两个刀楯兵，这是刚刚部里补充给他的。
此时，副队老高已经将战死的弟兄收殓好了，就放在担架上。
Guan Ping approached and carefully looked at these two brothers.
这两人都很年轻，其中一个苍白的脸上都还留着绒毛。他们都是被肃慎人用重箭给射死的，一个死于咽喉中箭，一个从腋下穿透了心脏死的。
关平带着原先的老弟兄们围着这两个担架一圈，一齐默哀。
等默哀差不多了，老高捧着水杯递给了关平，准备向死去的弟兄做祭奠。
Guan Ping held up the bowl of water, thought for a moment, and said to Lao Gao: "
“给新来的两个也满上，以后都是一起扛箭的弟兄了。”
老高点了点头，将混着点蜜水的清水倒入新来的两个人的竹筒内。
那两个刀楯兵诚惶诚恐，知道他们二人是被这个团队接纳了。
他们感激的看了一眼关平，然后郑重的接过竹筒，和其他人一样，高举着。
At this moment, Guan Ping looked at his fellow brothers who had no signs of life left and solemnly said, "
“咱们作武人的，最后的命运都是这样。你们是幸运的，因为你们即便死后，我们这些活着的依旧会记得你们。而我们也是幸运的，当我们战死后，我们后面的弟兄们也会记住我们。只要我们这个队在，我们就永远活在兄弟的心里。”
Finally, Guan Ping shouted loudly:
"As long as the team exists, the individuals survive!"
The fifty people behind him also shouted:
"As long as the team exists, the individuals survive!"
随后，关平喝了一个蜜水，然后将之撒在了地上。而后面的一众人皆如此。
等做完这些后，后面医护营的随夫就过来准备扛着担架，将两具尸体送到后方。
Guan Ping muttered:
“烦几位弟兄，这路上担稳一点，让我这两个袍泽路上睡好。”
四个随夫听到了，忙颔首，然后就小心担着两副担架下去了。
Guan Ping watched the stretchers recede into the distance and then turned to the group of soldiers and said,
“战斗还未结束，甚至说还没有开始。刚刚我从部里回来，部将给了我们一个艰巨的任务。”
All troops stand at attention, listening to the young officer issuing the military order.
“从哨骑探来的情报看，敌军也在汇集，但可能是因为突出的部队遭到重创，敌军全部都猬在营内，现在上面要求我们前出到小辽水的上游，去引诱敌军出营。”
No one in the room spoke; they all silently accepted the military order.
而关平也没有多解释，只是让弟兄们再检查装备和箭矢，因为此战他们作为诱饵，很可能就会面临被围攻的危险，而到时候这些装备就能保住他们的命。
After that, the five teams each went to prepare, leaving Guan Ping and Deputy Captain Lao Gao.
Lao Gao hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice:
“部里有说让咱们坚持多久？或者说援兵什么时候能来呢？”
这里只有老高和关平两人，所以一些细节的话可以聊聊。
关平先是瞧了一眼老高，一般人这个时候可能以为老高是明显怕了。但关平知道，老高不简单。
在之前进攻玄菟郡城的时候，原先关平所在的这个队是在昌豨之后，进攻北门的。
前面昌豨打的特别好，英勇善战，先登北门。但后面因为昌豨受了一个肃慎神射的一箭而重伤，因此后续的攻城就被耽搁了。
当时关平这个队的队将不知道怎么想的，抛弃了后面的主攻队伍，去救昌豨。最后硬生生的他给背下城了。
战后，昌豨被救了一命，这个队将却因为玩忽职守被一撸到底。
其实情况大家都知道，为何这人一定要救昌豨呢？因为他们都是昔日望秦峰的山寮，他们自有兄弟情在。

本来最有希望继任队将的就是副队老高，他也是在前队将下城后主持局面的，可以说深有威信，但最后被关平给顶了。
最后也就是关平真的有能力，也对老高尊重，不然这队伍他也带不住。
So, at this moment, Guan Ping listened to Lao Gao and spoke truthfully: "
“司马也没有给我具体的时间，他告诉我先行，等两刻后，他才会带着部队再出发。所以换句话说，我们真接敌了，至少要守两刻。”
At this time, Lao Gao's face has become a bit rigid. He muttered: "
“两刻？就我们五十号人？上面这都下的什么命令吧？谁会接这个任务？”
After finishing speaking, Lao Gao seemed to realize something and added, "
Captain, you didn't take the initiative to request it, did you?"
Guan Ping shook his head and replied quietly, "
No, it was personally assigned by Sima, but I am also willing to take on this mission."
By now, Lao Gao had nothing more to say and could only sigh and say, "
This is truly a disaster!"
……
Carrying his shield and wearing his leather armor, the cautious and prudent Uya muttered a sentence.
“这皮甲真是不合身！我是勇士，不当穿这个！乌雅要穿铁甲！”
此刻乌雅身上的皮甲哪只是不合身啊，就压根只有半截，而且还沁着黑红的血迹，也不知道是从哪个被横腰斩断的倒霉蛋身上扒下来的。
此时的乌雅兴致很高，毫无之前在营内被围殴的凄惨样。
The reason for this was simple; they had just been given a small bag of alcohol.
每一个肃慎人都逃不过酒的诱惑，他们在长白山中想吃肉就去林子里打，想吃盐就去山里挖。但偏偏就这酒，他们弄不到，只能和汉人换。
而每一个喝了酒的，就再也逃不出这杯中物。山里不知道有多少勇士就是贪恋这一口而出山入的军。
乌雅又抿了一口，然后才颇为不舍的传给了自己的伴当。
Compared to Uya's eclectic style, his valet is much more unadulterated.
他身上套着脏兮兮的皮衣，腰间挂着一个铁斧，背后还带着一把族里常用的山弓，妥妥的纯粹肃慎野战士。
和乌雅的节省不同，伴当接过水袋就是一口牛饮，然后被呛了后又喷了一小半出来，直让乌雅的脸黑了。
乌雅一把夺过水囊，重新将他挂在自己的脖子上，然后骂道：
“你就是个山猪，不是你老娘苦苦哀求，我是真不会带你出来。”
After being scolded by Wuya, his attendant's face turned bitter, not daring to say a word.
乌雅是他们这群人中最早出山的，也是他回来带着族人出山讨生活的，所以是他们这群人里面的头。
不过到底是从小一起长大的族人，他伴当沉默了一会，然后就开始找话了：
“乌雅，听说前面阿里合的队伍被汉人给消灭了啊！是不是真的！”
Wuya trembled for a moment, then calmly replied: "
“你知道个屁，刚刚我还和阿里合的队伍照过面，不知道的事情少乱讲。而且不该打听的少打听，以后就听我的就行。”
Bandon touched the back of his head and fell silent.
Meanwhile, Wuya turned his head and looked ahead.
此时，他们正在行进在一处平原上，在他们的右侧就是小辽水，只是距离乌雅他们有点远，只能隐约听到流水声。
And in the direction Wuya was looking, there was also a group of people standing still.
Most of them were wearing dark red military uniforms, they were Han people from Liaodong.
而在队伍的前方，一群胡人打扮的部落兵正被压着跪在地上。一个汉人军将打扮的人，正在他们的前头说话，不知道说什么。
只知道，当这人话才说到一半，就有几个胡人突然挣脱，然后向着前方亡命狂奔。
The military general did not pay attention to these people, but continued with the proclamation.
在宣读的过程中，几个汉人骑士直接纵马追向了那几个胡人逃兵，然后挨个又抓了回去。
等宣读读完后，那些绛色军衣的汉人就开始拔出刀，然后挨个砍头。
这等景象着实骇人，尤其是这会千军万马行进，人声鼎沸，这些砍头的景象就像是一场默剧，看着太不真实了。
但也是这种无声的，血腥的，成片的景象，而更具有冲击力。
实际上，乌雅并没有骗自己的伴当，他真的和阿里合的队伍照过面，就在前面那堆被砍头的人群里。
Shivering, Wuya pulled out a piece of dried venison and took a bite, sighing: Please note that the translation provided might not be accurate.
This is truly a disaster!"
