Chapter 56: Return to Yukou (2)
Du Zhan and the others retreated thirty miles and set up camp, and the case of recruiting troops was set up two hundred miles around Taishang Lake. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ten miles outside Jiqu City, there was a wooden table outside the barracks, more than a dozen generals, and a hundred-zhang long team came to answer the call. One is that it is good to eat military rations and eat a full meal, and the other is the reputation of benevolence, righteousness and love for the people spread by Qiheng Disaster Relief.
"Next!" The petty officer shouted.
A hairless lame man pushes a wheelchair forward.
The petty officer looked up and stopped writing. is probably a little monk who can't get along and wants to join the army and eat military food, but the army is hard, how can he want a crippled person like him? The surrounding generals and people were laughing.
Xiaolu is also tired after a day, just looking for some fun. The junior official looked at Chen Xiu, took a pen and nodded the leg, "Can you still stand up?" ”
Chen Xiu didn't think it was angry, but he just smiled and said, "It's difficult." ”
The junior official was slightly stunned, shocked by Chen Xiu's humble and arrogant bearing, no longer mocking, and sat back at the case, "We are in the barracks, and we will not break our legs." If you join the army, you will not be able to. ”
"You're right, I'm not here to join the army." Chen Xiu smiled, "Du Zhan is there?" Let him out. ”
Even if they were acquaintances, there was no reason for the general to come out to meet, and a small soldier in the rear scolded, "Presumptuous, how can General Du let you call him!" ”
"Presumptuous? Isn't it presumptuous that you are yelling here! Chen Xiu shouted angrily. These angry faces are just pretending, and I am proud in my heart, and I am really happy to drink angrily like this.
The petty official saluted, "Your Excellency reports your name, and we can pass it on to the general." ”
This kid is really clever, Chen Xiu couldn't help but look at him, and saw that he was tall in military uniform, and his round face was obviously childish. In fact, this petty official is already twenty-four, a few years older than Chen Xiu, but he has a round face that can't tell his age. Chen Xiu smiled, "Tell your general that a friend in a wheelchair comes to him, and he will come out." ”
Someone went. Du Zhan really came out.
"Is that you?" Du Zhan still remembered that this person who suddenly appeared on the boat, Qiheng was rescued by him.
"Come and show the general a way out." Chen Xiudao did not avoid people.
Chen Xiu is nothing more than a rebellion, Du Zhan knows it, and looking at the people around him, he also knows what Chen Xiu's idea is.
"When I entered the barracks, my head was always hanging, and when I marched and fought, I put life and death out of the way." Du Zhan Ling Ran said. With a wave of his hand, Zhang De understood, and asked everyone to retreat, and the case of recruiting soldiers moved a few hundred steps. There is no one more within a hundred steps.
"What the general has to say doesn't want people to hear?" Chen Xiu smiled.
Du Zhan said, "You and I know that there is no need to detour around the bend." ”
This bend has to be detoured. Chen Xiu smiled, "Does King Wu still trust the general?" ”
"If you don't trust me, why should you let me recruit here?"
Chen Xiu raised his eyebrows, "If it is trusted, how can you recruit troops in the name of His Highness?" ”
"The recruited soldiers are included in the military registration of my Wu country." Du Zhan sneered, "Your Excellency is probably a smart person, how can you think that in whose name is it to recruit soldiers, whose soldiers are you?" ”
"Yes, but doesn't the general think that whoever recruits the soldiers, the soldiers are who's?" Chen Xiu looked at Du Zhan.
Du Zhan suddenly laughed, "You are nothing more than a distraction, you don't have to show off this little trick in front of me." Will only listen to the order outside. King Wu asked me to lead the troops, and I fought to the death, if I went to my military power, it would be easy! ”
Chen Xiu was slightly shocked, this Du Zhan couldn't be persuaded to go in, even if he knew that King Wu would let him hand over his military power, he was willing. Or is he jealous? Can't see through.
To the north of Yukou is the Min Mang Mountains, which is said to be the root of the mountains in the world, the higher the terrain to the north, the mountains stand, and the highest peak is Tong Mountain. The height of Tongshan seems to be connected to the sky, ordinary people dare not approach, and it is said that the top of Tongshan is the imperial capital of the emperor of the gods, so Tongshan is also called Tiandaokou, and Tiandaokou is the source of residual water. The remaining water flows rapidly in the Minmang group of mountains and rivers, rushing out of the Northwest Desert North Plain, and the water reaches the plain only slowly, which can be convenient for shipping.
On the eighth day of April, spring is warm. The guard of honor came out of the valley, took a boat, traveled for ten days through the remaining water, and arrived at Jiqu.
King Wu came in person, and he was full of loyalty, as if sending Qiheng to Jiqu a few months ago was just a spring outing and autumn hunting. The mighty guard of honor welcomed Qiheng into the palace of King Wu, the ministers worshipped, and King Wu set up a big banquet.
Drums are loud from dusk until midnight.
King Wu said, "Your Highness is the orthodox Son of Heaven, and I will send His Highness back to the dynasty with the strength of the whole country." ”
King Wu said, "Your Highness is respected, and it should be the right position." ”
King Wu said, "There are five countries in the world, only Wu remembers the grace of Emperor Wu, and pity the small people of the four countries, who do not know etiquette, righteousness and loyalty." ”
Wu Wang said, "Wu contemporary Tianxingdao, except for the traitors in the world, clear the right way for the world." ”
King Wu also said too much. He was an old man of nearly seventy, dark and thin, but he was full of energy. Xu Bu stepped forward, and he was really willing to bow down to Qiheng, a child, with a clear and respectful look in his eyes. He said that he was righteous, but he didn't know what he was thinking. It is said that people get older and more treacherous, and that's probably it.
There is also a place for Shao Ziping and Shao Zi'an above this Wu palace hall, although it is in the last row, although it is in the innermost. Different from Qiheng's strong smile, Shao Ziping is enjoying the hustle and bustle of the palace. And today they are looking at them in this remote place, and he will surely make them look up to them in the future.
Shao Zi'an was already half drunk. Shao Ziping was still awake, and he glanced at the people at the banquet. Qi Heng, King Wu, a full house of ministers and waiting palace people. There are also Wu Tong, the eldest son of Wu Wangnian who is nearly fifty, the second son Wu Yong and the third son Wu Pu in his forties, the fourth son Wu You in his thirties, and the seventh son Wu Zhu and the eldest grandson Wu Ying in his twenties. This King of Wu is nearly seventy, and he has already had a full house of children and grandchildren, but he has not yet established a prince, and several sons and grandsons are staring at this position.
The eldest son, Wu Tong, is old and thin, looking like King Wu, but he has no great ambition, greedy and lustful. The second son, Wu Yong, is strong and dark, with a serious expression and fierce eyes. The third son, Wu Pu, was thin and weak, his eyes flashed and he was thoughtful. The fourth son, Wu You, looks like an idle person, good at drinking but not drunk, not liking to talk, and sitting alone and drinking. The seventh son, Wu Zhu, was the youngest in the grade, and his good poems and good writings had the arrogance of a young man, but he was drunk and carried away at this time, and was brought back by the attendants.
The eldest grandson, Wu Ying, was used to being at ease, sitting sideways at this time, his eyes full of mockery, raising his glass without drinking, and observing everyone like Shao Ziping. He also glanced at the people at the feast, and the bald and lame man Du Zhan said was not there. Wu Ying drank all the wine in the cup and left the table.
The hustle and bustle is over.
Night, in the palace of King Wu. The maid knelt timidly, not knowing why His Highness was angry.
Qi Heng glared and dragged Shao Ziping, "I can't stand it!" Did you hear what King Wu said? He was the one who sent me out, and now he can pretend that nothing happened! Darn! Darn! ”
"Your Highness is angry, does Your Highness remember what he said in Jiqu?" Shao Ziping lowered his head and said calmly.
Qi Heng's anger did not decrease, and with a glance of his head, he sent Shao Ziping away. "Get up! Get lost! ”
The people of the palace bowed and got up and withdrew.
Chen Xiu didn't come, and Qiheng was uneasy. (To be continued.) )
