Chapter 69: Drunkenness Leaks Heaven
"The army is encamped outside the city, and a fire is made to make food! Without a military order, you are not allowed to enter the city without permission!"
was robbed of the order by Sun Xiaozhe, An Qingxu was greatly dissatisfied and reprimanded him for being self-righteous. Sun Xiaozhe could only continue to be earnest, "Could it be that His Highness has forgotten the humiliation of Kip Stone?"
This sentence was as straight as a drum beating, deafening, and An Qingxu woke up when he arrived, and the Tang army he was facing was good at cunning and tricks. The army entered the city at night, if there was really anything in the city, in case it was ambushed by the Tang army, it would be terrible.
After understanding the reason, An Qingxu praised Sun Xiaozhe's delicate mind and can be regarded as a model for generals.
Sun Xiaozhe smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, whether this An Qingxu is stupid or good, why is there always such a big gap between the front and back?
The sky was already dark, and the 20,000-strong army set up camp three miles west of Shaanzhou City, burying pots and cooking food. At the same time, Sun Xiaozhe did not ignore the empty city of Shaanzhou County, but sent 2,000 foot soldiers into the city, guarding the four gates, and searching for suspicious people in the city.
The smell of soot grew stronger and stronger, as if an ominous smell was everywhere in the air. Throughout the night, An Qingxu looked nervous, lying in his clothes, and it was difficult to sleep. It wasn't until the sky was bright that a burst of sleepiness hit me, and I fell asleep deeply.
I don't know how long it took, An Qingxu only felt that someone was pushing him hard, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and bounced off the military couch.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
shouted indiscriminately for a while, and the scenery and talents in front of him gradually became clear. Sun Xiaozhe stood in front of him in neat armor and full of energy, and there were two town generals on his side. There was no enemy attack at all, An Qingxu swallowed a mouthful of saliva in embarrassment, a little embarrassed by his overreaction just now.
"What's the matter with the general?"
An Qingxu's spirit that had just been drummed up suddenly leaked, and the whole person sat back on the couch in a sluggish state, not sleeping all night, making him tired and tired.
"Your Highness, how did you forget? The county guard in the city has already ordered someone to boil hot water, just waiting for His Highness to enter the mansion to relieve his fatigue!"
Hearing that he could take a hot bath, An Qingxu suddenly came to his senses again and got up from the couch.
"Let's go!"
After a whole night of searching, Sun Xiaozhe almost turned the city of Shaanzhou upside down, and did not find anything suspicious, and people could live there. It can only be said that he was too nervous, but there was nothing wrong with being careful, and he did this out of safety first.
An Qingxu has been accustomed to food and clothing in the past few years, and he can't stand the hard work in the barracks, and when he heard that he could go into the city to rest, he was naturally more active than anyone else.
After washing and resting, another servant brought the freshly cooked mutton, which was so hot that people salivated, and there was a jar of liquor next to it.
"Okay, drink wine and eat meat!"
During the march, he drank and ate meat at will, and only people like An Qingxu who were not bound by military law dared to do so. Sun Xiaozhe no longer knelt on the couch like the Han people, but crossed his legs in front of the desk, forked a large piece of bone-in mutton with a copper fork, put it on the plate and decomposed it in only three or two strokes with a silver knife, but saw that the meat still had a trace of blood, sprinkled with coriander pepper, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, but he didn't touch the jar of wine next to him.
An Qingxu laughed, "General Sun is so skillful in swordsmanship, isn't it tyrannical to eat such good mutton but not worthy of strong wine?"
An Lushan's military law in the army is strict, Sun Xiaozhe is accustomed to the laws in the army, and he has long developed a habit of marching and fighting without drinking alcohol, so he lets the mutton in his mouth chew full of fat and juice, but he doesn't look at the jar of mellow and rich liquor.
In this regard, An Qingxu was not reluctant, patted open the sealing mud of the wine jar, stuffed a bowl of wine with himself, took it up and drank it down, and then slammed the wine bowl on the top of the case, shouting happily. The beard was stained with drops of crystal wine beads, which trembled with laughter, and then crackled and fell on the couch and the table.
After raising his spirits, An Qingxu returned to the same as before, but when he talked about the burning of Taiyuan Cang, he still couldn't help but hate it.
"I heard that the main general of the Tang Army in Shaanzhou City is called Qin Jin, Gao Xianzhi has long slipped on the soles of his feet, but this name sounds familiar!"
Sun Xiaozhe pulled the lamb bone in the handplate to the table, and forked a whole piece of lamb shoulder from the copper basin and put it on the plate.
"This person is Qin Jin, the Lieutenant of Xin'an County!" he paused before continuing: "It is said that this person has been promoted, and the Son of Heaven has personally promoted him to the head of Hongnong County!"
The servant picked up the strip and stirred it lightly in the copper furnace in the middle of the room, and the coals suddenly turned from dark to bright. The wind and snow shouted outside, but the back hall of the county guard mansion was full of spring. An Qingxu's nose and forehead were already oozing a dense layer of sweat. After eating two large mouthfuls of half-raw mutton dipped in coriander pepper, he said in a rather strange tone:
"Maybe the fire in Kunshan was set by this person, and Cui Qianyou has not been heard from for ten days, maybe he was also planted under this person!"
Sun Xiaozhe nodded and said: "I've thought about going down, but I can't think about it thoroughly, how can a scholar beat a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time?"
An Qingxu laughed, Sun Xiaozhe's words half seemed to excuse Cui Qianyou's explanation, and half spoke for himself. This makes the authorities obsessed with bystanders, and even if they are wise, they will not be able to escape this hurdle.
"Qin Jin's son once defeated the general, and now he has defeated Cui Qianyou, and may even burn him to death, doesn't it prove that Cui Qianyou is not as good as the general? Why bother with it? Today, we will take this fight like a lost dog, and half of the revenge will be avenged, and when we find out our whereabouts tomorrow, we will raise troops to kill him and capture him alive! At that time, I will ask him on behalf of the general, who will win or lose? Haha......
An Qingxu was already drunk after two bowls of wine, and the words in his mouth were more like a flood that opened the floodgates. Sun Xiaozhe is not as knowledgeable as him, if others are so comforting, I am afraid that he can only exchange for an old fist.
After talking about Qin Jin for a while, An Qingxu suddenly blinked and revealed a pretending to be mysterious, and then he didn't know where to find a silk book and military newspaper.
"General Sun, take a look, is this good news still written?"
Sun Xiaozhe wiped the juice and fat on his hands, took the silk book, and after only a few glances, he frowned, pointed to the silk book and asked:
"This, this military report, Your Highness has considered it?"
An Qingxu waved his hand dissatisfiedly:
"Don't think that this is the work of drunkenness, pondering the time of this military report, but the wine has not been dipped in it! The general only said, whether it is okay or not, and the merit is still satisfied?"
Sun Xiaozhe's chest rose and fell, they were just picking up people's teeth and wisdom all the way, and they couldn't even pick up people's teeth and wisdom, but in the military newspaper, An Qingxu exaggerated, reversed black and white, and wrote the earth-shattering battle of Kipshi and Shaanzhou, forcing Gao Xianzhi to burn Taiyuan Cang and behead more than 30,000.
"If the doctor knows the truth, how can he let you and me go?"
This kind of blatant deception, if An Lushan ascends the throne after the first day, it is to deceive the king and take the merits, and he will be killed, even if the prince will be severely punished. Sun Xiaozhe really wanted to break An Qingxu's brain to see what was stuffed inside, and he could come up with such a way to kill himself.
Who knew that An Qingxu was not afraid at all, but pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice.
"General Sun doesn't know yet, right?" Then he patted his head and muttered to himself, "Well, most people don't know about this, father, father wants to keep it secret......
From An Qingxu's half-hearted words, Sun Xiaozhe was keenly aware of a trace of abnormality, and couldn't help blurting out, "What do you know?"
"What?"
An Qingxu snorted proudly.
"This matter is out of my mouth and into your ears, and you must not let a third party know about it, understand?"
Sun Xiaozhe nodded solemnly, and his heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of comical, how did he swear to a drunken stupid pig?
"Since my father arrived in Luoyang, his eye disease has been serious, and he has reached the point where he is difficult to see!"
Seeing Sun Xiaozhe's frightened expression and no reaction for a long time, An Qingxu asked even more proudly:
"The general said, how can he tell if this military report is true or false? Outsiders are not as close and credible as their sons!"
The horror in Sun Xiaozhe's chest was indescribable, but when An Qingxu said this, his expression was relaxed and his tone was presumptuous, as if he was not talking about his father, but an irrelevant person. This made him suspicious again, speculating about how much of the drunk's words in front of him were true and how false.
"Don't joke, this kind of thing, this kind of thing......"
For the first time, Sun Xiaozhe was also speechless, and he didn't know where to start to ask to confirm whether the important news from An Qingxu's mouth was true or false. However, when a bang came, An Qingxu had already fallen on the table and snored loudly, and the cups, plates and dishes were pushed into a mess, falling everywhere.
"Your Highness?"
Sun Xiaozhe got up and pushed An Qingxu, and called out repeatedly, but this sleeping guy died like a pig, and he couldn't wake up no matter what.
After a long time, Sun Xiaozhe fell backwards and sat down on the couch, but he heard about a secret of the palace, but it made him feel like he was on the edge of the abyss, as if as long as he was not careful, he would be in danger of falling and falling to pieces.
After eating wine and meat until it was dark, and when he returned to the bedroom, Sun Xiaozhe tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and all he thought about was what An Qingxu said during the banquet, An Lushan's eyes could no longer see, is it true or false?
At least when the army marched south, An Lushan did not have such signs. I have only heard a few chamberlains say that the doctor's waist has boils all the year round, and it seems that the toes are also eroded, and they are not healed, but there has never been an eye disease, which is really strange.
If An Lushan really did what An Qingxu said, how would the enthronement ceremony be held after the Yuan Dynasty? Wouldn't it be known to everyone in the world as soon as he appeared? Perhaps it was just that he was old and blinded, and his eyesight had deteriorated. An Qingxu straw bag is very likely, and it is very likely to exaggerate it......
But there is one point, since An Lushan arrived in Luoyang, he has indeed been abnormal, and he has plunged into Ziwei Palace, living in a simple place, rarely showing up, and only a very few cronies such as Li Zhu'er, Yan Zhuang and others can be seen......
Drowsiness hit unconsciously, and Sun Xiaozhe fell into a deep sleep.
