说这一日的袁府袁清将军的书房，袁清将军正在处理着军务。他不似薛元刚，喜欢在军政大殿处理事情，他反倒像个文人，喜欢安静的环境，喜欢淡淡檩香，这样的雅闲，可以带给他清醒的头脑和判断。

    军务已经审批了又一批，战况不是很明朗，都是这个样子，他已经默然接受。这些关外的巴图士兵，本身战斗力就极强，跟大息王朝的享福兵是不能同日而语的。

    他轻叹一声，好在有浩城硕大的城墙，方才将那一方野蛮隔在荒野之外。

    感觉着有些眼贬，袁清将军也微作暇闲，见袁文华还在旁边的文案上审阅。他感叹，这年轻就是好，‘精’力充沛。自己是老了，总归有一天，要将这重担放到文华身上，让这独子挑起守卫南方的重担。

    在闲暇中，他是想到什么，然后问道袁文华：“对了，那些派去的后方巡逻的匪兵怎么样了？”

    袁文华抬起头，见父亲问到，便如实答道：“据我的内线来报，说浩城后方闹了大事，差点有一队蛮兵炸了乐平大桥，还好薛家有重兵在后方巡逻将这些蛮兵一举拿下，才让浩城免与危难，现在，浩城后方已经增派了十万士兵日夜巡逻，应该不会再有问题！”

    袁清将军微怒道：“这等大事，这薛元刚也不跟我说起，哼，果真是没拿我们当自己人看，也罢，这也算他做了一件对事。如果平乐大桥被炸，浩城的补给就成了大问题，介时我们守在浩城里，也守不住！”

    袁文华继续道：“听说那些土匪兵，善离职守，整天到山里打猎，也就被赶了回来！”

    袁清将军脸‘色’凝重，感觉着这些土匪兵真是个烫手的山芋，拿也不是，放也不是。

    在袁清发愁之际。这个时候。一个士兵进来禀报道：“启禀将军，邓良争将军求见！”

    “邓良争？”见袁清将军抬起头道：“速速有请！”

    袁文华一听是邓良争来了，心头也宽了不少，这邓良争。是他父亲的爱将。正如薛元刚一样。手下也有几个虎将。如骑神将军，箭神将军。而他的父亲，手下也有那么几个得力大将。其中最为让人夸耀的，还得属邓良争将军。

    这个将军，是他父亲在南方招揽的一员大将，曾是巴山关的驻守将军，巴山关在极南之地，克守南方野蛮部族，听说这将军有着南蛮的血统又有王朝的血统，是南蛮部族的一个大首领与一大息王朝的‘女’子所生，因血统不纯正在族里受欺辱，后携母叛离蛮族投靠他的父亲。

    这南方人比北方人个头要小，但是要说当今天下，最能打仗的兵，可能很多人都想不到，竟然是南蛮兵。这一点，无需争议，南蛮之兵凶残嗜血，长期居住山岭之地，能跑善爬，体力超强。具说大息王朝在历史上曾经有过一回清剿，五十万大军，竟然被几万蛮兵‘逼’退淮河，成为千古大辱。

    所以，南蛮之地，可守，却无法征服。

    说回这书房之中，袁清两父子在等候，不梢一会，只见一个身着黑甲的将军走进书房。见这邓良争将军，看样是个中年男人，个头虽然没有其它将军那样高出普通士兵一个人头，却是显得一身的浑厚力量，像是这身体蕴藏着无尽的爆发力。

    说这邓良争将军是南蛮人，其母却是大息王朝人，所以知礼数，脾气也不似南蛮子那般野蛮粗暴。

    “良争远道而来，辛苦了！”袁清见爱将到来，很是高兴。

    见那邓良争抱拳作揖道：“末将来迟，望请将军恕罪！”

    “能来就好，我还怕是你在巴山关走不开！”

    “巴山关属下已打理好，暂时不会有什么问题，而且属下还带来了两万南蛮兵，前来支援浩城！”

    两万南蛮兵，非同小可，不是屈屈所说的两万普通士兵，至少可以跟十万巴图兵对抗。而且这样部队可以用在刀刃上，效果更是翻倍。

    “有良争前来相助，我袁清是如虎添翼，来来，先坐，喝口茶再说！”

    那邓良争在旁边落坐而下，下人就声上来添茶。

    小作客套之后，袁清尽了一些地主之怡，然后问询道：“你母亲最近身体可好！”

    “谢将军关心，母上大人现在身体安康，她临行前还托在下问候大人，她说会准备大人最喜欢吃的艾粑粑，等候大人早日凯旋而归！”

    “说到艾粑粑，真是让人想念，去南方这么久，最喜欢吃的，还是你母亲做的艾粑粑！”

    “所以，袁将军是要早日将巴图大军赶回关外！”

    “说是容易，做来难，本将军何尝不想！”袁清将军感叹道。

    “属下相信大人，大人在南方镇守边关，南荒部族无一不慑其威严，至南远这地太平长久！”

    “镇守南蛮边关，还是你的功劳嘛，我只是曲曲挂个统帅而已，真正让南蛮部族不敢踏足大息王朝半步的，还是你邓良争！”

    “袁将军过讲了，如没有将军收留栽培，在下怕是要与母亲死在南荒之地！”

    说这邓良争确实是有本事，在那南蛮之地招集起来的南蛮人，本是野蛮不驯，却也让他训练成军。而且这南蛮军，战力非常，驻守边关无人能开。

    说到这邓良争的本事，倒是让袁清脑子里闪过一个念头，没错，袁清一拍案道：“良争，你远道而来，旅途劳顿，是辛苦了，本是要给你好好休息，但是，我手头下有个紧要事，却非你莫属，你可否为本将军分担忧愁！”

    邓良争一听，抱拳作揖道：“赴汤蹈火况再所不惜。袁将军有何事请说，在下定当万死不辞！”

    “好，就等你这句话，良争你真是我的旗下第一爱将，是这样，我早先头，在路上，不慎收留了一只土匪军队，却没想到，这只部队顽驯不教。我是想让你带领一下。希望你能把这只部队管束起来，不给我惹事就好！”

    邓良争没想到是这事，他还以为是什么突击敌军的大事，不过袁清将军的请求。他还是不得不答应。他带些失望道：“属下尊命。就算他们是群死囚，属下也给您整清透了！”

    袁文华也是高兴父亲能想到这点子，这真是极好的办法。把这匪兵‘交’给能驯南蛮兵的邓良争将军，那是万事谐妥。

    袁文华高兴道：“那是有劳将军了，在下速速为将军安排！”

    说邓良争心里不是滋味，还是接下这份差事。
