Chapter 12 Mid-Autumn Festival
In the eighth year of Taihe, I ushered in the most special Mid-Autumn Festival in my life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a Mid-Autumn Festival spent in another space, on the occasion of the march.
The army had crossed the Changzhan Ridge and passed through the great river plains around the Huai River.
The sky is high that I have never seen, the earth, the far away that I have never seen, and the moon is the clear yellow and huge that I have never seen.
It is inevitable that some of the soldiers will be affected by homesickness, but Shao Jingchu ordered to "clean up and advance" and did not allow any celebration.
But this was only for ordinary soldiers, in fact, high-ranking officers held a banquet in the military tent.
When I was invited, I was able to get a clear idea of who the big names in the army were.
General of the Left Army (former general) Hong Tao
General of the Right Army (General Pok) Mo Mingxuan
The Chinese Army Protector (Captain Changshui) Yao Bei
Governor Military (Zhishu Shi Yushi, Guanglu Doctor) Qiao Yun
Military advisor (servant) Gu Lanying
Of course, the general Shao Jingchu, the general of the Chinese army this time, he can't be left behind, but among all the big shots, only he didn't attend the feast.
The four of them drank and had fun around a small table, although the table was small, the food was served like running water, and it was usually changed in a few minutes, and the dishes on the table would be replaced whether they were eaten or not.
There are 10 vats, which are placed against the east wall.
I sat alone on the south side, separated from them by a veil, and in front of me was a small table full of delicacies, and a jug of wine, which was still warm to the touch.
It is said that it was Hong Tao who held the dinner, but in my opinion, it was Mo Mingxuan who was right at the dinner.
Hong Tao is a burly man, with thick eyebrows and a big face, full of the arrogant spirit of a martial artist, compared to Yao Bei, who is slender and long, but his face is full of anger, and he is also a battle-hardened person.
Qiao Yun is old, although he is smiling, he must not be so kind on the inside.
Among all of them, Mo Mingxuan is the most heroic.
"Lord Gu, don't take good care of yourself, don't be surprised, if you need it, just inform the guards beside you." Mo Mingxuan said to me.
I bowed my head behind the curtain.
The four of them are not of the same age, and they are either called brothers or brothers, or they are also called by names or words very affectionately.
When it was my turn, it was a "Gu-sama".
Of course, there is no way around it.
I was expecting them to say something I could get into my mouth, but it turned out that it was purely because I was overthinking.
This is a private banquet, and there is no way to do it without topics related to state affairs.
I stayed there like an ornament for about an hour, knowing full well that they were paying attention to my presence, and at the same time knowing that I had no way to talk to them, and that I had been in such a helpless atmosphere for a long time...... I suddenly understood why Shao Jingchu didn't come to the dinner!
When the Hu bed was brought in front of me, looking around, the four of them were slightly drunk, their faces were flushed, their eyes were hazy, and I had a bad feeling in my heart.
Someone brought the orchestra silk bamboo in, I stood up, and the guard hurriedly leaned over and said, "What do you command?" ”
I said, "It's okay, it's late at night, I'll go back to the tent to rest, you don't have to come with me." ”
This orchestra and silk bamboo are here, and the next thing is to invite the beautiful girl, Yi Yu cup and plate, right?
I knew I was leaving to make it easier for them, so why not.
Leaving the big tent, the night wind blew into the placket, a feeling of comfort, but also a little chilly, I gathered my clothes.
Looking up, the stars in the sky and the night sky are so spectacular that I can't believe that the same sky was not seen by people in our world hundreds of years ago.
When I left my tent, I called the guards to stay, and I called the guards to stay, so that now that there was no one around, I couldn't tell where my tent was, and although I would get a reply when I asked the soldiers, I would rather go farther now.
The army was stationed on the plains, and I looked around and saw a small hill in the northwest.
So I walked to Xiaogang, and I should be distracted.
It was getting darker and darker, and when I turned around to look at the lights in the army, I couldn't see through here, and I regretted a little that I didn't mention a lantern.
But because it was a plain and the road was easy to walk, I slowly climbed to the top of the hill with the help of the moonlight.
I have a hunch that when I look far away from the post, I can see the beautiful scenery of the world far away from the world.
When I gasped and climbed up, patted the dust off my body and straightened up, I realized that there was already a man standing on the post, and he was behind him, turning his head to look at me.
Shao Jingchu.
He was the best-looking man I've seen so far, cold but not sharp, with a sharper contour of his chin than usual, which made his face look smaller than the others, but it made him look a fatally beautiful, with narrow phoenix eyes and a straight nose, which was just the icing on the cake, his hair was a little scattered in front of his forehead, and he was tied at random at the back of his head, and there was a kind of scattered beauty in the wind, but it was just icing on the cake.
Because it's overly beautiful, it has a feeling of being indisputable.
I lowered my head: "I didn't expect the marshal to come here first, I apologize if I disturbed you Yaxing." ”
Shao Jingchu said: "It doesn't matter, what is Yaxing or not, there is no such thing." ”
He continued: "Only you Wenchen don't mind this, we generals are different. ”
I subconsciously objected: "Marshals are different from other generals. ”
After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh at myself for being so breathless.
Shao Jingchu chuckled: "How is it different?" ”
I replied seriously: "First of all, there will be a branch or not, and then there will be intentional or unintentional, the military generals will not, and the civil ministers will not, but there are those who are intentional and those who are unintentional." The marshal is a military general, but he can, so he is different from other generals. ”
Shao Jingchu understood my awkward words and asked, "Then you are a Wenchen, if you will, is it intentional or unintentional?" ”
I sighed: "I hope I'm unintentional, I'm afraid I mean it." ”
Shao Jingchu laughed and said, "It's the truth, this kind of thing really can't be said." ”
After a long time, he suppressed his laughter and asked, "How does Lord Gu look at the moon tonight?" ”
I replied, "The moon is beautiful, of course, but my heart is both happy and uneasy. ”
"Why are you upset?"
I didn't answer the rhetorical question: "Marshal, can you guess why Your Majesty would allow a female stream to be mixed into the army?" ”
Shao Jingchu looked at me several times: "It's really straightforward." ”
I said, "I must have guessed it." ”
Shao Jingchu said a little casually: "I probably have two plans, negotiate with Bei Liang, if you find that Gu Hong has indeed surrendered, I will kill you to set an example, if Gu Hong is imprisoned or martyred, then there are two plans, one is to hand you over to Bei Liang as a hostage, in order to obtain greater benefits in the negotiations, and the other is to declare your existence, so that the old generals in the Bingzhou region will rebel against Bei Liang." ”
Yes, this is the particularity of this virtual character, and I should have more opportunities to reduce the casualties of soldiers in both countries.
I nodded: "Exactly, that's why I'm upset." ”
Shao Jingchu was puzzled: "Since you are uneasy, why should you join the army?" ”
I told a lie: "My father's whereabouts are unknown, and everyone in the DPRK and China is talking about it, so in order to wash away his stigma and find out the truth of the matter, it is necessary to do so." ”
Shao Jingchu nodded, and suddenly asked, "Does Lord Gu really have military talent?" As a military advisor, you and I will discuss military aircraft and the like. ”
I was a little embarrassed: "A woman, I'm afraid I don't have a high opinion, but since I have asked His Majesty for the post of military advisor, I am willing to share the worries of the marshal." ”
Shao Jingchu's face was overjoyed: "After that, you and Mingxuan will each handle half of the military affairs, and you should share his worries for him after bothering him for so long." ”
I was surprised: "Military? Didn't the marshal have someone around him who specialized in handling paperwork? I want to hand it over to General Mo for disposal......"
Shao Jingchu replied as he should: "I think they are quite annoying, and they don't have Mingxuan to do things properly, so they are all dismissed." ”
I was really surprised, Shao Jingchu was so relieved of Mo Mingxuan, no wonder he could easily frame him with fake official documents, but let me handle military affairs, how should I deal with it? ……
I said: "The marshal thinks about it, I will definitely share the worries of General Mo, but I need to recruit some scholars......
Shao Jingchu nodded: "There are also some people in the army who are well-versed in literature and ink, I will explain it tomorrow to see who is willing to follow you, you organize a group of people to help Mingxuan do things together." ”
I agree.
We stood still for a while, basking in the moonlight, looking at the small undulating mountains at the end of our field of vision and the autumn plains nearby.
The night was deeper, I noticed a hint of coldness, and couldn't help yawning, Shao Jingchu said, "Let's go back." ”
He said "we" and I nodded.
When I got off the hill, I found that there was a divine horse parked under the hill, with a pale yellow coat, as soft and clear as the moonlight, and a beautiful mane, which can also be said to be a handsome horse among the horses.
Shao Jingchu said: "If you don't mind, sit up, and I'll take you back." ”
I did hesitate, but this hesitation was unnecessary, so I sat on the back of the horse, the horse shook its body, and it turned me very comfortable, seeing me laughing, Shao Jingchu said: "Yuanhe is human, if you are hostile to it, you will become very irritable, otherwise it will be fine." ”
I sat down, Shao Jingchu patted the horse, Yuanhe ran out, and I realized that he didn't have the reins of the horse.
The back in front of me was as tall as a mountain, but looking at it, for some reason, I felt a trace of sadness.
When we arrived at the barracks, three or five soldiers on duty saw us with curiosity on their faces.
Shao Jingchu didn't say anything, handed over the horse to a person and asked him to pull it back to the stable, and I didn't change my face and got off the horse.
Shao Jingchu said: "Lord Gu, watch the moon together, I am so happy, pay attention to the cold at night, Shao said goodbye." ”
After he left, I called a soldier and asked him to lead me back to the account.
The Mid-Autumn Festival came to an end so smoothly.
