Chapter 106: I'll Go to Beijing, You Go to the Royal Court (3)
After lying on the bed for a few days, Lin Chengping was able to walk on the ground, but his body was still weak, and he was already sweating after a few steps. At this time, Da Zhuang would always squat not far away, and his head would rise and fall with Lin Chengping's steps.
Zhao Feng was happy to see that the boss's body was getting better day by day, and he would also take a few pieces of tender meat from the chicken soup made for Lin Pingcheng in the kitchen to try it. Whenever Da Zhuang saw this kind of scene, he would always look at Zhao Feng with resentment, as if he had a deep hatred with Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng pinched the tender chicken with two fingers, and he didn't eat it, and he didn't eat it, so he finally decided to eat it! So I raised my head, opened my mouth, swallowed it, and took another sip of hot tea, the aftertaste was endless, not greasy, beautiful.
After a few days, Lin Chengping was already able to get out of the camp, and the fresh air was coming to ≡, a≯nshub←a., with the unique taste of the grassland, and there was a newborn sun rising in the distance on the unobstructed horizon, showing infinite vitality and vitality.
Many soldiers smiled sincerely when they saw Lin Chengping, and then bent down slightly to express their respect. The Zhenbei Army was stationed on the grassland all year round, and in the process of subtle transformation, it had more or less accepted the etiquette of the Huns, such as bending down to show respect.
Lin Chengping was a little unaccustomed to bending down to return the salute, and the entire Zhenbei Army could only receive the bending etiquette of General Xiahou. Calling Zhao Feng over, Lin Chengping asked with some confusion: "What's going on?" ”
Zhao Feng's eyes were erratic, he looked to the left, and then to the right: "The boss killed Ah Guta and made an immortal contribution." It is also right for them to bow down. ”
"It should be big!" Lin Chengping kicked Zhao Feng with the situation, although he killed Ah Guta, he made a great contribution. It is understandable that the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army have some admiration, but it is not enough to bend down and salute, "Say, what the hell is going on?" ”
Zhao Feng easily dodged Lin Chengping's kick and smiled: "Boss, my brothers and I have recited your great and glorious deeds with a little exaggeration and romance. Zhao Feng knew the general situation, and at the end of the day, he didn't forget to pull the brothers on his back together. In fact, the deeds of Lin Chengping circulating in the camp of the Zhenbei Army were all compiled by Zhao Feng.
Lin Chengping frowned slightly: "What deeds?" ”
Zhao Feng Nunu mouthed and interpreted what Lin Chengping experienced from another angle.
Once upon a time, there was a hard fate. But the stubborn child, when he was a child, his family suffered a fire, and he instantly became poor, leaving an eldest sister and six younger brothers. The whole family is eager to wear it. All the burden was on this child. So when night fell and the lights were on, the child slapped the table and decided to join the Zhenbei Army, hoping to support a large family with a meager salary. From Lanzhou to the grassland, a full 3,000 miles of road, wore out shoes, chapped lips, moistened eyes, and torn clothes.
Don't. My small town in the south of the Yangtze River, small bridges and flowing water, I came. The battlefield in front of you, the grassland desert.
The days of the barracks were boring and boring, at a glance, there was only the grassland, and after the grassland was still the grassland, the grass was secluded, there was not a single big tree in the Central Plains, and there was not a stream. But the meager monthly income has become the hope and sustenance of this child. Day after day, this child who came to the grassland from Lanzhou in the south of the Yangtze River gradually grew up, became stronger and braver.
The king of the southern courtyard of the right tent royal court led the rebellion, and the bone grew more than three feet, and the power was infinite, like the god Rakshasa who came down from the sky, this child was ordered to be in danger, and he was not afraid, and the big battle with the bone was three hundred rounds, from day to night, from sunny to cloudy, and finally cut off the other party's head.
After listening to Zhao Feng's narration, Lin Chengping's face became more and more exciting, and it was extremely hot, as if he had eaten Coptis wrapped in syrup, and it was sweet on the outside, but when he bit it, he knew that it was bitter inside: "Zhao Feng, you are begging for a beating!" Lin Chengping raised his crutches and was about to beat.
Zhao Feng stretched out his hand to catch Lin Chengping's crutches, and said with some complaints: "Boss, don't fight yet, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
"And?!"
"Of course, the best is in the back." Zhao Feng wiped his mouth that was already spitting, "After killing that Ah Gu, this child was seriously injured and crumbling, and when he was about to faint, he muttered: 'Eldest sister, brothers, I miss you. Zhao Feng finished speaking, as if he was moved to tears.
Lin Chengping felt that his whole body was stained with dandelions flying everywhere on the grassland in early spring, and the itch was uncomfortable, and he grinned at the corners of his mouth, and the word hypocrisy was imprinted in his mind.
"Boss, what's your expression?" Zhao Feng asked, "If you don't want to, I won't say it in the future." ”
Lin Chengping coughed in a low voice, and said in a very low and vague voice: "Add more scenes of the eldest sister." Then he turned around and walked away.
Zhao Feng was dumbfounded, watching Lin Chengping gradually move away from his back, and rolled his eyes: "Let you pretend!" ”
Lin Chengping did not go back to the camp tent to rest, but went to General Xiahou's big tent, in fact, General Xiahou had ordered people to send messages several times, asking Lin Chengping to come to the big tent. But Lin Chengping kept dragging it, because he knew what General Xiahou meant, Lin Chengping had also made contributions in the past, and he should have been promoted to captain, but Lin Chengping was reluctant to give up his team of fifty people, so he refused.
Now that Lin Chengping has killed Ah Guta, this is a great merit, and he has to and cannot but promote Lin Chengping.
Walking into the big tent, Lin Chengping said in a deep voice: "Lin Chengping, the fifth squad of the third battalion of the Zhenbei Army, visited the general. ”
Xiahou Xiangyang, who had a heavy face and lips like grease, was standing in front of a huge map, carefully looking at the criss-crossing borders, and when he heard Lin Chengping's voice, he didn't look back, but asked: "Ah Gu rebelled, and the power of the right tent royal court was damaged, and he took the initiative to retreat a hundred miles, which seemed to be retreating on the surface, but in fact it was advancing. If the Zhenbei Army rushes forward, it will not only disperse its forces, but also drag down the supply lines. In the past, the right tent royal court often harassed the border, and the Zhenbei army could attack and retreat with a strict defensive line, but after the battle line was extended, the right tent royal court became the party that could attack and retreat, what do you think? ”
The grassland is flat, unobstructed, there are no mountains and rivers, and the terrain is not as complex as the Central Plains, so the Zhenbei Army barracks are hung with maps, not sand tables. Lin Chengping walked to the map on crutches: "It's not good to advance rashly, but since you have an opportunity, you should seize it." Chengping Jian yì can be advanced step by step, step by step. The Zhenbei Army was divided into three batches, advancing layer by layer, and the rear army was used as the supply line of the front army, and instead of the Zhenbei Army advancing in a general way, it was a surprise advance in batches. Although the connection between the armies has been severed and the centralized dispatch has been reduced, as long as the leaders of each group of armies command properly, the problems encountered will be solved. ”
"Same as I thought." Xiahou Xiangyang nodded: "Chengping, this is the first time I have summoned you?" ”
Lin Chengping bowed his head slightly: "The fifth time." ”
Xiahou Xiangyang nodded again, walked to the center of the big tent, and a ray of sunlight shone in from outside the big tent, shining on the face of the battle-hardened general, with a different demeanor: "You used various reasons to shirk the first four times, what other reasons are there this time?" ”
"I can't bear to brothers!" Lin Chengping replied.
"Haha, it's exactly the same reason as the previous four times, you can't change it." Xiahou Xiangyang glanced back at this young man who was rising in the Zhenbei Army, and didn't know what to say.
Lin Chengping replied: "This is the most real reason, Chengping doesn't want to deceive the general. ”
Xiahou Xiangyang didn't ask too much about this matter, but asked: "Chengping, do you know how many camps the northern army in this town has?" ”
Lin Chengping was slightly stunned, the Zhenbei Army was known as 300,000, which was similar to the Xiliang Xujia Army, but he really didn't know how many camps there were. Lin Chengping thought to himself that no one in the northern army of this town knew about it.
"Today it's thirteen thousand five hundred and sixty-two." Xiahou Xiangyang spit out a number, as if telling a very ordinary thing.
Lin Chengping was slightly surprised.
Xiahou Xiangyang smiled slightly: "Chengping, the Zhenbei Army is very large, there are many people, and they are in danger of their lives every day, and a small camp tent is their home, every day I will order someone to count how many camp tents there are in the Zhenbei Army, and every time there is a camp tent missing, it means that there is a family missing." The family and the country are in the world, the family and the country are in front of the country! ”
Lin Chengping was shocked and speechless, and his admiration for General Xiahou was a little more, he had heard that he loved soldiers like sons, and he had heard some generals and soldiers eat and wear together, but no one had ever said the word "home" to himself, no matter how difficult the conditions were, a rule that the Zhenbei Army has always implemented: everyone must eat white flour steamed buns. This is respect for people, and this is General Xiahou to the Zhenbei Army.
"Chengping, someone told me that behind the Zhenbei Army is the Central Plains, so it should be protected, but in my heart, home refers to a small family, one small family after another, a few houses, a few thin fields, parents and brothers."
Lin Chengping's heart set off turbulent waves, General Xiahou's words were not like what a general said, but like the thoughts of an ordinary soldier, joining the Zhenbei Army was not to serve the country, but to protect a small family.
Xiahou Xiangyang seemed to see through what Lin Chengping was thinking: "Chengping, I have experienced war and know the cruelty of war, what your eldest sister wrote is indeed impassioned and deafening, and the Central Plains people love it, but I don't like it, and many soldiers of the Zhenbei Army don't like it." It's too exciting, it's too exciting, and it's not so real. It is the people who are prosperous and suffering, and the people who are dead and suffering. Only when a country has a small family that prospers is the only one that prospers. ”
Speaking of this, Xiahou Xiangyang's face suddenly showed a certain sentimentality, like a pedestrian who had experienced a storm and returned to his hometown, and when he really returned to his hometown after going through hardships and dangers, he suddenly found that the wind and rain had destroyed his hometown: "Chengping, if one day the Zhenbei Army is wiped out, what will you do?"
