231 Storytelling

Xianxian, this little lady really has a talent for storytelling, seeing that we are in a hurry, we are about to stop for a while, Fang slowly smiled and said: "It turns out that there are young people in that county who have been on Jin Wuwei, and those four people let him test General Dugu's clothes and armor. Yin Xin, found that it was true, and listened to General Dugu tell Luo Nangong's deeds in detail, but there was no doubt about her identity, only that she was a woman, and another person said that he would detain General Dugu in order to send reinforcements quickly, and one person thought that he could not offend General Dugu, and one of the two of them each echoed and quarreled from time to time, but General Dugu sneered and said: 'You are a large group of men, and you will only defend the city for a few days, and you will cause the county order to hang yourself. The lieutenant died in battle, and he was useless, so he was embarrassed to blame me.' The four men were bloody men, and they were furious, and one of them said, 'Listen to your tone, it seems that you are very capable?' General Dugu smiled and said, "If you want to compete, the four of you will go together, otherwise it will be meaningless even if you win." The four men became more and more angry, two of them carried their knives, one of them carried their guns, and one of them used sticks, and they were about to meet them, but when they were about to come near, General Dugu said, 'Wait'. ”

Xian Xian's mouth was dry, and he stopped involuntarily, and Ah Huan said, "Give her water." The palace people on both sides did not wait for the order, they had diligently filled the fruit drink, and picked up a plate of snacks: "Wang Niangzi, please use it." ”

Xianxian still only looked at me, I waited for her to say, nodded immediately, and ordered someone to move a seat, Xianxian was flattered, and thanked him a few times before he dared to sit down, He Lou was impatient, and just urged: "Then what?"

At this time, the hall was really silent, and only the voice of the fairy rose loudly: "The four people have reached very close, but they were stopped by General Dugu, and they thought she was afraid, so they all smiled and said, 'If you are timid, admit defeat as soon as possible, for the sake of General Dugu, we will leave you to the end', General Dugu shook his head with a smile and said' I didn't mean that, I just wanted to change the comparison, after all, now that the soldiers are coming, not the time of Cheng'an, it's not interesting to compete like this', the four of them asked her how to compare, guess what she said?"

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know, even Wan'er and Ah Huan were silent, the fairy looked around proudly, and when she was about to speak, she heard Cui Mingde say: "Did she say that since it is a battlefield charge, horse battles are indispensable, and you want to compete with them on horseback?"

The fairy fairy was surprised: "How does Cui Niangzi know?"

Cui Mingde snorted, picked up the teacup in his hand, and drank a cup of tea like drinking before saying, "Guess." ”

Xianxian looked at her puzzled, and was urged, Fang continued: "As Cui Niangzi said, General Dugu proposed to fight on horses - later the four people knew that the horse ridden by General Dugu, called 'Xilu', was the famous horse of Dawan that Luo Nangong had found for her, and it was said that he had accompanied General Dugu through a hundred battles, and the four people rode were all horses raised in the county stable, but this is all a later story - the four people then brought up their weapons and got on their horses with General Dugu. ”

Speaking of which, I have already understood, glanced at Ah Huan, saw that she also showed a clear look, looked at each other and smiled, and listened to the fairy said: "General Dugu said again this time." The same is to serve the country, can be regarded as their own people, since they are their own people, it is not good to really use these knives and guns, so as not to be injured by mistake, or use wooden sticks instead of good', the four people listened to reason, so they ordered people to find wooden sticks, and General Dugu said that he wanted a wooden stick of about the same size, so as not to blame her for winning with weapons, but the wooden stick was difficult to find for a while, and General Dugu made an appointment with them, and after eating, they tried again. ”

Speaking of which, half of the people in the palace have already understood: "General Dugu has traveled a long distance, the people are sleepy and the horses are tired, and he rushes to the battle, and most of them have no chance of winning, so he deliberately delays the time and specially frustrates the morale of the other party." ”

Xianxian smiled: "I don't know what the big reason for delaying morale, I just think that General Dugu will play these four people around as soon as they meet, and this ability is the ability to be a general." ”

He Loushi said with a smile: "According to what you say, in the future, they don't have to fight, as long as the boss stands on the wall and shouts a few words outside, the winner or loser will be clear at a glance?"

Xian Xian smiled: "If this is the case, then it would be good - in short, General Dugu fought with the four people after dinner, each with a wooden stick as a weapon, General Dugu easily knocked down the four of them from the horse with one to four, the four were not convinced, and said that they would try again, General Dugu said, 'There are thousands of rebels, we only have hundreds, one enemy ten, if we really wait for them to enter the city to fight with us, how can this city be held?' This time, those people knew the meaning of General Dugu, and they proposed to test archery with the general, the Song Dynasty five hundred archery skills, famous far and near, it is said that they can shoot a hundred steps of Yang, who knows that General Dugu is more powerful, riding out of a hundred and fifty steps, shooting three arrows in a row on the horse, each arrow hit a stone brick of such a size, each arrow did not enter the brick three inches, the four people trembled, and immediately bowed down, so recognized General Dugu as the main commander. General Dugu reorganized the soldiers and horses, divided the defenders into four shifts, every two shifts on duty for a round, in these two shifts, one class to defend the city, one class to patrol the city, take turns on duty, clear, and take out all the gongs and drums and other things in the city, gather the soldiers and people, and agree to beat the gong as the trumpet, when the gong sounds, the first twenty people to carry the weapon, each reward a hanging money, the latest twenty people, each cane twenty. At first, the soldiers were still lazy, and General Dugu deliberately knocked a few times, rewarding and punishing according to the agreement, and since then the army has strict discipline and orders must be carried out. However, in addition to the military Han, the people in the city are still timid, and some people who plan to sacrifice the city are denounced, and more than 500 people in the Song Dynasty said that they would be killed immediately, but General Dugu said that some people want to surrender, but they feel that the official army cannot win, and if they know that the court will win, no one will surrender, so they gather the people in the city and say to them. The rebels are not united, although the number is large, but it is a plate of scattered sand, it is really easy to defeat it, if you do not feel at ease to defend the city, then it is inevitable that there will be a disaster of annihilation', there are big families in the city who are not convinced, saying that General Dugu deceived them, and General Dugu agreed with that person that within one day, the rebels will suffer a big loss, if not, let that person open the city and surrender, if that person loses, then donate all the food in the family to fund the army. ”

I quietly tilted my head and said to Ah Huan: "Ah Shao has no food and grass, and I inquired clearly that this big family has the intention of defecting to the enemy, so I deliberately provoked him." Ah Huan nodded to me, and when she saw that my bun was loose, she stretched out her hand to straighten it for me, and said: "She is not chaotic in the face of danger, she has this ability, and she dares to go out of Beijing alone, which is not reckless." ”

I said angrily, "You still don't know if she was reckless and tricked her out like this?"

She pinched my waist with her hand and said, "Since she dreams of being a general, she doesn't necessarily have to be a general in the splendid pile, right?"

I didn't say a word, and then I came back to my senses and listened to the fairy say: "... General Dugu took out all the treasures in the county party, specially selected those precious and shining, and took them all out and made them into a pile, and then selected a team of capable strong men, and ordered them to escort the treasures out of the city, and let out the wind, saying that the Dugu general from Beijing, because he was afraid of defeat, quietly ran away with fifty or sixty thousand treasures in the city- In fact, she had already found out that there were spies in the city, so there were such words, the rebels really hit the plan, several teams of men and horses were going to rob those property, the escort was ordered by General Dugu, and when he saw the rebels, he fled to a selected valley while throwing jewels all the way, the rebels were not in tune, and when they saw the treasure, they robbed it on the road, only half of them followed into the valley, on both sides of the valley, Song 500 led a hundred archers to ambush, it was late autumn, the grass and trees withered, Song 500 took people to shoot rockets, and the valley was instantly ignited, and the rebels had thousands of people, but they could only cry their fathers and mothers, and they were defeated all the way。 General Dugu personally led a hundred cavalry, tied to a tree on the horse's tail to pursue, and the rebels who robbed the treasure in front had no will to fight, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties. And because of the use of silk satin in the treasure, Song 500 led people to chase after him, continued to set fire, and burned many more - this battle alone beheaded 200 levels, burned to death, trampled to death by horses, killed by his own people, countless people were killed, the rebels besieging the city were greatly injured, and retreated for dozens of miles. General Dugu gathered the old men, women, and children in the city together, and ordered them to walk back and forth on the city wall around turbans, branches, and sticks, and spread the word that General Dugu sent his beloved daughter to lead reinforcements to Changqing, ambushed them in the city, and waited for the rebels to come to the door. Those rebels did not dare to approach, did not know the truth in the city, and listened to these rumors, from then on they did not dare to raise troops to encircle, only dared to send a small force of men and horses to attack the city, were all led by General Dugu to fight back, and then, General Dugu mobilized troops and horses, large reinforcements, and the siege of Changqing was solved. ”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly went to serve water to drink, no one in the hall made a sound for a long time, we were all immersed in her words, thinking about Dugu Shao's demeanor, and finally Cui Mingde coughed lightly and said lightly: "Dugu... General, she is so brave and has made such great achievements, but how can she be beaten? How's the injury?"

Xianxian talked about Dugu Shao's beating, but he still admired it, and got rid of a little fan sister who chased stars: "General Dugu is so good, all because of General Dugu's strict father's teaching, General Dugu and the reinforcements converged, captured Licheng and other counties, bravely killed the enemy, and made a lot of meritorious contributions, but General Dugu did not take care of her because she was his beloved daughter and made meritorious deeds, but instead promoted to the military account, and after the merits of General Dugu, she was beheaded according to military law......"

I let out a "ah" sound, and almost stood up on the spot, but fortunately was stopped by Ah Huan: "Is Dugu Yuankang such a fair person? ”

Sure enough, Xianxian said again: "Fortunately, the generals persuaded her hard, so she was only sentenced to a hundred rods and executed in publicβ€”otherwise, how can you say that General Dugu is good? ”

Ah Huan smiled and glanced at me, meaning: Look, if you don't make a sound with a hundred rods, it must be a joke. I glanced at Cui Mingde's face, but I felt slightly uneasy, and urged Xian Xian to say, "So you sent her back after that?"

Xianxian said: "General Dugu was injured and could no longer fight, so he stayed in the Chinese military camp to recuperate from his injuries, and when the war was cleared, he was escorted back to Beijing." Accompanied by her family's subordinates, guest girls, and the guards who volunteered to follow her, I watched their words and deeds, and should have taken care of them very properly, and when greeting at the door, although General Dugu could not get up to meet him, he listened to the voice very clearly, and it should be no big deal. The concubine also asked the maid in the house, and asked for the prescription and pulse case, if the princess is not at ease, she can ask the imperial doctors to take a look. ”

Before I could answer, Cui Mingde had already said, "I'll understand the doctor's prescription and show it to me." ”

Xianxian asked for my consent and handed over the prescription to Cui Mingde, she looked at the stack of medical notes several times, and said with a long sigh: "If you cultivate carefully, you will be able to get up and walk around in two or three months." ”

I looked at her face, and thought that the injury was very light, but when I heard this, I felt my eyebrows jump, turned her head to glare at Ah Huan, she stuck out her tongue at me and said: "This is for her good - if she doesn't fight so hard, what if she sneaks out again? Ahem, besides, Luo Nangong is probably really annoyed. ”

I couldn't talk about her, so I could only turn my head back and whisper: "Old soldier!" The voice was slightly louder, Wan'er and Cui Mingde both heard it, and they both showed a color of deep approval, and immediately lowered their heads to converge, each pretending to be dignified, as if they had never cared about this matter. 166 Reading Network
