Chapter 465: Troops! (b)
Although Xun Yi always knew that the leader of Zhou was a resolute person, he did not expect that in just one day, this leader of Zhou was ready to go on the expedition.
When the 500 black tiger thieves and the 3,000 soldiers of the '2nd Brigade Battalion' lined up outside the city, he was also curious to watch.
Just as he was watching, he saw Changshi Chen Lang limping away.
Xun Yi took a closer look and saw that Chen Lang had no obvious scars on his face or hands, but his limping posture made him think of his former self inadvertently.
"That Baihualou in the city has opened?"
In addition to the accident, Xun Yi felt a trace of regret in his heart.
"Chen Changshi?"
Xun Yi arched his hand towards Chen Lang, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
However, to his surprise, unlike when he was full of shame and indignation, this Chen Changshi only had anger on his face, but he was not ashamed.
He glared at Xun Yi hatefully, and said as if gritting his teeth: "Xun Duyou sat back and watched being humiliated by the thieves around him, and he will definitely be rewarded in the future!" ”
"Huh?"
Xun Yi wasn't angry, but he just wondered: Didn't Zhou Hu use the same method he used to deal with him back then to deal with this Chen Lang?
At this moment, Xun Yi suddenly heard someone coughing.
He turned his head to take a look, and then saw that it was Zhao Yu who was coming here with Jingnu, Niu Heng, and He Shun.
Xun Yi clearly found that when he saw the leader of Zhou, Chen Lang was trembling with anger, and his eyes were full of resentment, but for some reason, this Chen Changshi, who regarded himself very highly, did not dare to attack.
"I wonder where the post governor rested last night?"
Approaching Xun Yi and Chen Lang and his party, Zhao Yu greeted Xun Yi with a smile.
Xun Yi arched his hand and replied with a smile: "I have the promise of the leader of Zhou, and I will sleep very well last night." ”
Indeed, yesterday he received the promise of the Zhou leader in front of him to rescue Xuchang, and Xun Yi had a rare satisfying sleep in the post house in the city.
And the newly renovated post house in the city also made him very satisfied.
As for the fly in the ointment, that is, the leader of Zhou in front of him forgot a small promise from the previous time and did not 'arrange' it for him......
Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that the leader of Zhou has promised to rescue Xuchang, which gives Xun Yi the confidence to return to Xuchang and defend his life to Li County.
"That's good."
Zhao Yu smiled and nodded, then turned his head to look at Chen Lang and asked, "What about Chen Changshi?" ”
Clear-eyed people can see the change in his tone at a glance, he is amiable to Xun Yishi, and he is obviously a little ridiculous when he is Chen Langshi.
Obviously, Chen Lang also heard the ridicule in Zhao Yu's words, and sneered: "Whether it was good or bad to rest in Xia last night, doesn't Chief Zhou know?" ”
As if he hadn't heard clearly, Zhao Yu approached Chen Lang a few steps and asked, "What?" How many more days does Chen Changshi want to stay? ”
"No, it's not."
Chen Lang's face was furious, and under the forced gaze of Zhao Yu, a burst of blue and white flashed on his face.
At last he bowed his head and whispered, "Very, very good." …… I mean, it was a great resting place last night. ”
"That's good. …… You see, you and I can still communicate normally, right? ”
Zhao Yu patted Chen Lang's arm, and the latter nodded reluctantly, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
Xun Yi glanced at Chen Lang in disbelief, approached Zhao Yu, and asked curiously, "What did your people do to him?" ”
Zhao Yu said lightly: "It's nothing, He Shun just dragged him to an empty room in the county office, stuffed a cloth in his mouth and hung it all night." …… After all, he is the messenger of Li Junshou, and I have to give Li Junshou some face. ”
"You know what you do?"
Xun Yi's eyes widened, he stayed in the post house in the city last night, and when he saw that Chen Lang was delayed, he thought that this Zhou leader had 'entertained' Chen Lang like he had done that day, and his feelings were that Chen Changshi had been hung all night.
"In this case, I am relatively lucky."
Seeing that Chen Lang dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and limped onto his mount, Xun Yi shook his head with a strange expression.
Immediately, he reminded Zhao Yu: "You offended him today, he will definitely cry to Li Junshou when he goes back, and even add fuel and vinegar." ”
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Zhao Yu nodded, and at the same time glanced at Chen Lang.
Since he decided to rescue Xuchang, then he had to get enough rewards, such as trying to replace Cao Suo as the governor of Yingchuan County, and then expanding his power to Xuchang - for a period of time in the future, that Li County Guard could only rely on him, this is an excellent opportunity.
And to expand its own power to Xuchang, then it is natural to use various means to win over some people, starting from Chen Lang's long history, which is not bad.
At this time, Chu Yan brought Liu Tu, Cao Wu, Ju Sheng, Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Xu Shen, Xu Ma and others to the front of the formation, and stepped forward and said to Zhao Yu: "Big head...... Ahem, Lieutenant of the Zhou Division, the army is ready to go. ”
Glancing at Chu Yan, who was still a little unaccustomed, Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Raise the flag, pull out!" ”
"Yes!"
The generals responded with their fists clenched.
Under the gaze of Zhao Yu, Xun Yi, Chen Lang and others, some sergeants and soldiers held high the banners with the words "Brigade Ben" and "Ministry Captain Zhou".
It is worth mentioning that on the banner of "Luben", there is also a long-tailed black tiger painted.
Seeing this scene, Chen Lang immediately sneered, and said to his entourage in private: "It's really a wicked person in the mountains and wilderness, who doesn't understand etiquette at all, and actually uses this kind of banner." ”
He is not wrong in what he said, after all, using the image of 'tiger' as a military flag is not an honor that any army can get, this needs to be approved by the imperial court - without the approval of the imperial court, it is arrogance.
Xun Yi also noticed this, but he didn't care.
First, he suspected that Zhou Hu might not understand the matter of 'trespassing' at all, and secondly, it was not a big deal.
As long as Zhou Hu has a meritorious service in rescuing Xuchang this time, will Li Junshou still pursue the matter of a banner?
However, the reminder is still a reminder: "Chief Zhou, you are now an official of the imperial court, and you need to follow etiquette in everything, and the imperial court has relevant regulations on military flags." ”
Probably because he was bored during the march, Zhao Yu chatted with Xun Yi about the flag.
Xun Yi didn't hide it, and said 1510: "First of all, the dragon-shaped flag, which can never be used, the real dragon image is a symbol of the royal family; Secondly, the flag of the sun shape is also not available, because my Great Jin is based on the 'day' and the 'day' is auspicious, and it cannot be used for non-state affairs. …… I don't know if the leader of Zhou has ever seen the 'Wang Flag', which is the banner of the Dajin royal family, because the image is the real dragon Panri, so the folk are also called the 'Day Dragon King Flag', and the non-royal family can not use it without permission. ”
After a pause, he said again: "As for the tiger-shaped flag, it can generally only be used by the division of the tiger, I don't know if the leader of Zhou can know my famous general Chen Taishi of the Great Jin?" Chen Taishi's famous 'Day Tiger Banner' was given by the first emperor in recognition of his great military exploits, which is also the origin of Chen Taishi's name as 'Tiger under the sun'. …… Throughout my Great Jin Dynasty, in addition to the royal family, only Chen Taishi has the honor of using the day as a flag. …… Even some of the royal children did not receive this honor. ”
I have to say that this is not the first time Zhao Yu has heard of that 'Chen Taishi', he asked curiously: "Since I have such a famous commander in the Great Jin, why didn't the imperial court send this Chen Taishi to suppress the rebellion?" ”
Xun Yi explained: "It's just because Taishi Chen is not in the country, and he is in the north to quell the chaos. ”
He looked left and right, and whispered: "Leader Zhou must not spread these words, otherwise he will not be able to bear it." …… According to legend, Chen Taishi was the righteous son of the first emperor, who was jealous and hateful, and although he was a righteous brother with His Majesty today, it is said that he was not very harmonious. His Majesty is kind to Wang Ying, but Chen Taishi hates Wang Ying, as long as Chen Taishi is in the court, he will quarrel with Wang Taishi, and even heard that even His Majesty will be counted. His Majesty had no choice but to send Taishi Chen to the border to suppress the foreign ......"
"Is this exile in disguise?" Zhao Yu smiled in surprise.
"Shh Xun Yi hurriedly made a silent gesture, and then said with a smile: "That's not it, I have heard Li Junshou say that Your Majesty is just annoying Taishi Chen's advice, and aside from this matter, Your Majesty still trusts Taishi Chen very much." Legend has it that Taishi Chen has a talisman in his hand and can act on behalf of the king......"
Speaking of this, he showed a look of envy, not envy of the power of that Chen Taishi, but envy of his honor.
For the courtiers of the Jin Kingdom, Taishi Chen's status can be said to be the limit of what they can reach.
"How did the Superintendent learn about this?"
"It's listening to what Li Junshou said."
"Uh-oh."
Zhao Yu suddenly realized, and then listened quietly.
A few days ago, when he was talking to Zhang Ji, he had heard Zhang Ji relay Mr. Ram's judgment, and Mr. Ram pointed out that if they wanted to take revenge, they must be prepared to be enemies of the Jin Kingdom.
In other words, the Jin Dynasty's general, 'Chen Taishi Chen Zhong', and his five sons, the 'Five Tigers of the Chen Gate', may become the great enemies that hinder his Zhao revenge in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Unlike his brother in Jiangdong, as well as Mr. Ram and others, he is still grateful to Taishi Chen, Zhang Jing, and Mao Gong's father and son, after all, these people did help him Zhao rehabilitate the crime - at least they helped him without asking for anything in return.
"I don't know if when the Jin Kingdom counterattacks in the near future, will it be that Chen Taishi who will personally come out......
On the way to Yingyang, Zhao Yu thought secretly.
If he had the opportunity, he would also like to meet that Taishi Chen, and meet the prestigious 'first minister of the king' in the current Jin Kingdom.
At noon on 30 May, after a one-and-a-half-day journey, Zhao Yu led 3,500 elites to Yingyang, and in the military camp southwest of Yingyang City, he joined the 5,000 county soldiers led by Ma Gai, the lieutenant of Kunyang County, Huang Ben, the lieutenant of Runan County, and Zou Bu, the lieutenant of Xiangcheng County.
On the same day, in this barracks, which originally only had a few county flags, the banner of 'Ministry Captain Zhou' was erected.
Upon learning of this, Xiang Xuan's subordinate and Yingyang guard general Guo Sheng was greatly frightened, and personally climbed to the top of the city to look at the banner of the enemy camp outside the city.
Of course he knew that there was a person surnamed Zhou in the southwest of Yingyang who was very famous, and that was Zhou Hu, who defeated his tens of thousands of Changsha righteous teachers!
Now that the tiger has come in person this week, there will be no good thing.
