Chapter 129: Zhu Jie
In the bathroom of the mansion, the steaming water vapor and the fragrance of logs filled the air, smelling very comfortable, coupled with a relaxed mood, after a while, Liu Yu leaned on the bucket and snored. Since he started to cross, unconsciously, it has been more than half a year, and the long hair on his head has reached his shoulders, and he no longer needs to wear a wig cover.
He was really tired, so many days of siege, hundreds of thousands of people in the decisive battle, and a considerable number of people in the city, although it was not like a danger, but he had really experienced the danger of breaking the city. Exhausted and step-by-step, how can an ordinary 21st century otaku be able to bear all kinds of hardships.
Seeing that he slept so soundly, the soldiers couldn't bear to wake him up when they came in several times, and in the end, it was the cold water in the bucket that made him feel the temperature change suddenly before he opened his eyes. After only squinting for a while, Liu Yu felt that it had been a long time, looking at this small bathroom, and it took a long time to come to his senses and remember where he was.
Fortunately, the weather was hot, but there was no cold or anything, put on a long shirt and pushed the door out, the sky was already dark, and the stars filled the night sky. Liu Yu stared at the starry sky that was much clearer than later generations for a while, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, and when he turned his head, Xiao Loli's star-like eyes appeared in front of him.
"Alas, it's over." Liu Yu smiled and stretched, it's good to have a world without war.
"Well, it's over." The pheasant responded with a clean and refreshing smile.
According to his plan, the banquet was set up in the southwest of the city, one is a spacious place, and the other is remote and does not disturb the people, and anyone who drinks too much can sleep directly in the military camp next to it. Don't look like it's a general, but in fact, it's just a bunch of veterans, and it's a disregard for drunkenness.
When Liu Yu arrived on horseback with a few personal soldiers, it was already crowded here, and there were not even hundreds of people at a rough glance. Registered his number plate at the door officer, if it is a military attaché, he has to leave a sword, which is to prevent him from splashing swords and hurting people after drinking, Liu Yu left his horse and his own soldiers outside, and walked in alone.
"Lao Liu, have those prisoners outside the city been settled?" Walking through a bunch of unknown officers, he finally saw Liu Shiyong, and Liu Yu pulled him aside and asked. There are tens of thousands of people outside the city, and if he is not careful, it is easy to have a big accident, and if he doesn't ask clearly, he is really a little worried.
"Well, the officers of more than 100 households were screened and put in the barracks in the city, and several senior officials were also thrown into the prison according to your orders." Liu Shiyong said in a low voice, this is also the proper righteousness, the snake can't do it without a head, and if the officers are separated, those soldiers who have always only obeyed orders will not be able to make trouble.
Liu Yu has a lot of complaints about the method of resettlement of prisoners in this time and space, of course it will not be killed, but it can't be let go casually. These tens of thousands of people are veterans, as long as you put them back, you will definitely see them on the battlefield next time, and you must be directly recruited into the army according to his wishes, and those who do not want to be forced to atone for a few years as laborers.
But the reason why Hu Sanxing and others persuaded him was that the imperial court would not give them money and food, and there was no way, they were all poor. This Great Song Dynasty, which is known as the richest in the world, ranks first in terms of total GDP and per capita in this time and space, and now it can't even pay the money to reward the army.
"Taishou is still ready to sell?" Liu Shiyong saw that he suddenly lost his voice, and with a thoughtful look, he couldn't help but ask aloud, paper money is useless, but the real money in the treasury is pitiful, and spending money after the war is like running water, these are the keys to maintaining the morale of the army.
Liu Yu shook his head with a wry smile, now it is not as good as besieging the city, it can be used as an expedient measure, and now he has to deal with it indiscriminately, unless he doesn't plan to mix in the court. What will happen to the government affairs hall? Liu Yu has a headache when he thinks about it, and with the urine of those people in the history books, it's not good
"Lao Liu, you are hiding quietly, calling a certain one easy to find, come and come, and talk to you, isn't this Liu Jiyi?" The two were silent, and suddenly a loud voice sounded, Liu Yu turned his head to look, but it was an old acquaintance, the commander Su Liuyi, who was fighting side by side in Lugang.
Liu Shiyong greeted the past and was a bear hug in front of him, and he punched two times when he was finished, the two of them can be regarded as difficult brothers, and now they can get together for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, it is indeed not easy. Then Su Liuyi introduced the people he brought to them, who turned out to be Li Tingzhi's generals, Haozhou regimental training envoys, and Miao Zaicheng of Zhizhenzhou, and Liu Yu happened to be neighbors across the river.
After saying hello, Liu Yu saw that he was so energetic that he was hit twice, and understood that his injuries had already healed, Li Tingzhi introduced to him, Su Liuyi led the naval army to pursue the rout of the city's western Boyan headquarters, and the commander Xu Wende on the land was nowhere to be seen, and it was estimated that he had not returned to the city yet.
"Happy, really happy, Ji Yi still remembers the scene when most of our army was chased by the Tartars in Lugang, now it is the world to report quickly, Lao Tzu took the water army to drive the sheep, and he shot a cannon if he didn't like it, and he was brisk and safe than Lao Xu. It's just a pity that Boyan and the others are running too fast on horseback, otherwise, hum"
said it quickly, and several people around Liu Yu laughed, this kind of situation is indeed rare, no matter how much you brag about it, it is not too much. From his words, it was also learned that the defeated army had been driven out of the territory of Jiankang Mansion, and the navy army carried the captured ordnance all the way down the river and returned to the city first, and the foot soldiers were still on the way.
It's a pity, although Su Liuyi said it very easily, Liu Yu knew that because there was no cavalry, this kind of pursuit would not have much effect. At best, the enemy discarded his heavy belongings and ran much faster than ships and heavily armed foot soldiers, so he probably picked up a lot of things, but did not kill a few.
Su Liuyi's loud noise and interesting commentary made the generals and schools around him surround him, making him more and more excited, talking like a story, and talking until he was spitting. Liu Yu was a little bored when he listened, and he was not used to the crowding, and across the crowd, he saw two familiar figures and squeezed out.
Jin Ming, who took off the step armor, only wore an ordinary martial arts uniform, and Jiang Cai, who was standing on his back, was half a head shorter than him, and his body was wrapped with gauze. The two didn't know what they were talking about, and let out a hearty laughing sound, Jin Ming also reached out and patted him on the shoulder, feeling a lot of sympathy.
"Old Jiang, you look like this, the injuries on your body are not in the way, right?" Liu Yu said hello to Jin Ming with his eyes, took out cigarettes and matches, and gave one to each of them, there were too many people just now, he only brought a pack, it is better not to send it if he can't finish it, Jiang Cai suddenly saw the cigarette stretched out from behind, and immediately smiled.
Smoke is really popular regardless of time and occasion, watching the two veterans skillfully light the fire and spit out the circle, and take a puff of it, like those people who are K fans in later generations. It's just that he doesn't have much of his own inventory, so he can't see people like he used to.
"It's a good thing, and by the way, the wine from that night, strong, fragrant. For this, what is this injury, Taishou, is there still that kind of good bar today? Jiang Cai showed a retrospective expression, and Jin Ming on the side couldn't stop saying yes, obviously having a relationship.
Liu Yu smiled secretly and nodded, because he was not famous, the wholesale price of this bulk liquor was only more than three yuan and a catty, for this low price, Su Wei did not work hard. Thinking of the girl staying alone in the hotel, I don't know what happened, so I was a little distracted.
It didn't take long for the arrival of Wang Lixin, Li Tingzhi and other coaches to end the chaotic situation on the school field, and they each sat down in front of the table that had already been set under the guidance of the sergeant. is different from other places, Liu Yu's table is all civil officials, Hu Sanxing, Ye Yingji, Meng Zhijin, Zhao Xingfei, etc., are really civil and military.
From afar, Liu Yu observed Wang Lixin's complexion, which looked good, and when he saw his gaze, Wang Lixin nodded slightly. There are only four people at his table, except for Li Tingzhi, the other two Liu Yu don't know each other, and it is estimated that they should be the commanders of the reinforcements.
Seeing that the people were almost there, and the wine and food were also coming up, Li Tingzhi and a few people around him whispered for a while, then picked up a glass of wine and coughed a few times to focus their attention. Fortunately, there are not too many people in the venue, so there is no public address system here, and the sound can still be heard clearly in a quiet environment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first bowl of wine, this official mentions yì as a congratulatory congratulatory to the official family and the empress dowager, and congratulatory congratulations to my Great Song Dynasty, and everyone drinks together." Li Tingzhi saluted from afar, and everyone in the audience got up together, faced the direction of Lin'an, raised the cup above their heads, congratulated them in their mouths, and then drank it all.
"This second bowl, when it is dedicated to the brothers who died on the battlefield, without their hard work, we would not be able to sit here, to: the heroic spirit is immortal, and the soul returns!" After Li Tingzhi finished speaking, he slowly sprinkled the wine on the ground, and the generals and colonels on the field were also like him, with solemn expressions and solemn atmosphere.
"Three bowls of wine, salute the general who made the first merit in this battle, everyone think about it, who can be called the first meritorious?" Li Tingzhi's voice suddenly amplified, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone on the field one by one, and when he heard his words, everyone looked left and right, and there were many discussions.
"Let's talk about this official, first take the banner of the Tartar Marshal Boyan, and then behead the head of the main general in the army of ten thousand horses, his body was wounded by more than forty wounds, the blood flowed like an infusion, and he still fought fiercely, can such a person be called the first merit?" Li Tingzhi slowly revealed the answer, and everyone suddenly realized, especially the reinforcements and colonies who arrived later.
"Yes!"
"That's nature."
Everyone responded loudly, the army is heavy on martial arts, who is not envious of this kind of real record, for a while, all the eyes of everyone focused on Jiang Cai, who was wrapped in gauze. After decades in the army, how could he have had such a highlight moment, and he was red and excited for a while.
"I don't dare to be a certain person, it's all the credit of everyone, come, everyone drinks together." Jiang Cai hurriedly raised his glass in return, and thanked him again and again. Looking at Li Tingzhi's appreciative eyes in the past, Liu Yu sighed a little, will "Shuangzhong" still gather like in history?
After three glasses of wine, the Zhujie banquet officially began, where did the generals who had long been hungry still have the leisure to be polite, guessing the boxing, you come and go, and the school field suddenly became lively. Liu Yu took a look at the dishes on the table, they were still quite rich, and the ones cut into slices seemed to be
"Beef? It's a good mouthful, where did you buy it? Liu Yu took a piece and threw it into his mouth, and praised it, although he eats it on weekdays now, pork is not allowed on the table at this kind of banquet.
"Buy? You don't know what is going on in the city, where else can you buy it in the market. As soon as the news of today's victory came out, there were a lot of people who reported that the ploughing cattle had fallen to their deaths, understand? Meng Zhijin is no longer as timid as he was when he was in Dangtu, but has a somewhat capable appearance.
"How can this make it, ploughing cattle is the life of farmers, and it is just a matter of renting and pulling goods, how can they be killed." Liu Yu was taken aback, stopped and said, Hu Sanxing and the others glanced at him, but did not answer.
For a while, the people at the table were silent, the people had no consciousness, whoever was good to them would be rewarded a hundred times, and it was not counted as contributing, this kind of domestic animals that usually did not eat and had to be fed well, said to kill them, such people, how could God tolerate them.
"Ziqing, come, the old man will introduce you to you." Wang Lixin's voice sounded, Liu Yu and the others stood up, only to see the old man leading a military general over, that person was tall, extremely majestic, with blazing eyes and a straight heart.
"Don't dare to bother to ask, let's report it from a certain family, Zhang Shijie, I have heard too much about the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it." The person who came hugged his fist and said loudly to Liu Yu.
