291. February 17, 2nd year Rain The rain hits the plantain and listens to the rain
The spring rain came suddenly, Song Beiyun ordered people to gather all the leftover broth ten miles outside the city and put it there, and also ordered two troops to take care of the cauldron there, and set up a canopy on the top, and the firewood at the bottom remained unextinguished, and the cauldron was repeatedly gurgling, and the fragrance was still pervasive.
Just after the third watch, Changsha City not far away was already silent, only here was still bright light, and in the distance, in addition to the sound of rustling water, there was also the sound of grass rubbing.
Then I saw a heavily armed team appear from the shadows, about 5,000 people in front and behind, all with tired faces on their faces.
Their food and grass were all paid, and now they had not eaten and drunk all day, and the cauldron under the lights in front of them had a fatal temptation for everyone in the procession.
Their general was also surnamed Song and was named Song Ai. This year, he joined the army 12 years ago, and he had been in the border area of Guangxi for seven years, followed by the right person, and he was advancing all the way, and at the age of 25, he was already in the military capital, and he was a rare talent.
It's just that today he suffered an inexplicable defeat, and he felt as if he was being led by the nose to run, and after the fight, the people returned to the city, but they could only run and wander around in this area, plus the food and grass were gone, they didn't even have the ability to go away, and they could only wander around and see the opportunity to act.
And now he had been observing for a long time, there were more than two large urns in front of him, and there was a fragrance coming from them, and there were only two soldiers in the handles, which were obviously what the people in the city had left for them to eat.
But he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold here, so he didn't dare to step forward easily, so he could only wait until the middle of the night before he dared to bring someone closer.
"Yu Hou...... This...... Here's the invitation to enter the urn. ”
He lowered his head and grabbed his sleeve: "Yu Hou, I can't help it!" ”
Song Ai didn't know the meaning of these pots, but face was more important than stomach, so even if he was ashamed, he could only wave his hand to join the army, walked forward with a knife, and kicked the ass of the soldier guarding the cauldron.
The two soldiers were originally his people, and when they saw him, they immediately jumped up: "Yu Hou! You're here......"
"Huh?" Song Ai frowned and looked at them: "Are you surrendering the army?" ”
"Yu Hou ......"
"That's it." Song Ai sighed and said, "The meat in this pot is edible?" ”
"It's okay to eat and eat, it was arranged by the Lord Song in the city, saying that the brothers outside the city were still hungry, so I asked the two of us to wait here, and said that I was afraid that the brothers would not be able to eat, so I prepared some pancakes."
They lifted the low stack covered with oiled paper and straw, revealing the burnt yellow oily pancakes inside, and the smell of green onions came to the face, and Song Ai couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"You eat some first, I'll see."
Song Ai was afraid that this pot was poisonous, so he ordered the two of them to drink a little in each pot, and after observing for a while, he found that there was nothing unusual, so he immediately arranged for people to stand guard in front of him, and the rest of the people all began to line up to receive cakes and scoop soup.
After a day of hard fighting, coupled with the cold spring rain, the soldiers were already cold, and some of them were about to faint, and now they drank this hot soup and fat, and no one could get three pieces of horn cakes, and for a while the surroundings were full of chewing sounds, and there was no other noise.
Even Song Ai stood there and drank the broth full of oil and water, and then soaked the cake in the soup, and after a few bites, his body was hot, much more comfortable than before.
"Why did the man in the city do this?" Song Ai looked up and asked the two soldiers, "What else did he do?" ”
But he didn't do anything...... They have a thing called the medical team, which is to rescue all our wounded soldiers, and the captured brothers are also directly scattered and incorporated into their camp, and those brothers who say they want to go back to their hometown are also divided according to the enlistment time and let them go back. ”
"And such a thing?" Song Ai frowned: "He didn't kill anyone?" ”
"When I entered the city, I killed some, but I gave a compensatory pension later." The soldier said, "Every sentence is true, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder." ”
Song Ai frowned, he didn't know why this was happening at all, according to reason, let alone leaving meat for the rebels, even if he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, he would definitely have to erect a wall to clear the wilderness, and not let them get the slightest benefit.
"Did he say anything?"
"What he said to us is that the brothers outside the city are also good sons of the Great Song Dynasty, and most of them are only forced by those evil people, or lured by gold and silver, or forced by the lives of their families, so he treats the brothers who belong to him equally, and he does not stop those who want to leave, and those who want to stay are not to blame."
Song Ai stood there for a long time with his hands behind his back, he squinted his eyes and beckoned to the soldier who looked clever: "You come here with your ears." ”
The soldier leaned over, Song Ai said something, and then the soldier turned around and trotted all the way to the city.
About half an hour later, Song Beiyun was "punishing" Miao Yan at the moment, and when he had just made the chicken king into a white chicken, Xiaoyu knocked on the door and walked in.
"Lord Song...... Xu is here. ”
Song Beiyun pursed his lips: "These people are really spineless." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and slapped his tofu-like ass hard: "I spared you this time, count you lucky!" ”
"Don't leave if you have the ability...... See who begs for mercy at the end. Miao Yan lay in the quilt and turned back angrily: "Favorability minus 10!" ”
"Hahahaha." Song Beiyun got up and got dressed: "Then you have a kind of waiting for me to come back." ”
After he finished speaking, he followed Xiaoyu out, he didn't mind what Xiaoyu saw, after all, Xiaoyu was a eunuch, who specialized in serving the emperor, and he had seen all the emperor's.
"Lord Song, the person who watched the pot outside just now came to say that the rebel Song Ai wanted to talk to the adult."
"It's spineless." Song Beiyun took a sip: "There are still three rounds behind, and they didn't pass the first round." ”
"Maybe it's a good spring rain."
"Hahahaha...... Xiaoyu speaks so nicely. ”
But in fact, this sentence is not unreasonable, tonight's sudden cooling is really a key factor, there is no food and grass and this kind of cooling again, if you don't think about it, maybe a large part of the soldiers will freeze hard tomorrow morning.
Song Ai is the one who leads the army to fight, he knows what he will face, and if he raids and disturbs the people along the way, he will be the one who will die regardless of whether the rebellion will succeed or not.
The rebellion was made, and the rebel leader was bound to kill him, and the people were angry. If the rebellion fails, the court will definitely not keep him.
Now the only way to survive is to negotiate conditions with the person in Changsha City, and this condition is the key to his life.
Song Beiyun took 3,000 people and braved the rain to a place ten miles outside the city, and the two people looked at each other from a distance through a pile of empty meat pots, when the soldiers on the opposite side suddenly began to retreat.
Then a soldier came to Song Beiyun with a letter in both hands: "This lord, our Lord Song has a letter to you." ”
Song Beiyun took the letter, read it by the light of the torch, and then raised his hand to let the people behind him step back, and then walked under the canopy with a few personal guards, but there was already a person waiting there.
"Song Yuhou, look up for a long time." Song Beiyun smiled and hugged his fist at him: "I never thought that the world-famous Song Yuhou would be so young and promising. ”
Song Ai glanced up at him, and suddenly felt a breath in his heart, the person in front of him was obviously younger than him, but he praised himself for being young and promising, who is this sticking gold for?
"Don't dare, I have heard of what Lord Song has done along the way, but I didn't expect Lord Song to be so brave and good at fighting as a civil minister. I'm a defeated man, but I have nothing to say. Song Ai stretched out his hand and pointed to the low stool opposite: "Lord Song, please." ”
Song Beiyun straddled the stool, turned around and shouted, "That cow, come with wine!" ”
"Come on, come on." The brute bull ran over from behind carrying a twenty-pound jar, the wine jar had been opened, and the corner of his mouth was still hanging with wine syrup......
"Bastard, you also drink Lao Tzu's wine?"
"Lord Song...... I'm afraid that someone will poison you, so I'll give it to you. ”
"!"
"Alas, good Lak, I'll wait after I go."
A jar of wine was placed there, and Song Beiyun took a large piece of leftover meat from the pot and took a few bowls, and put these things on the table together.
"General Song, don't care, my subordinates don't have a good brain, and some don't listen to orders."
"Haha, Lord Song laughed, such interesting people, I like them the most in the army."
Personally poured wine for Song Ai, Song Beiyun took a big sip first: "The best Yuezhou rice wine, it is still warm, General Song please." ”
Song Ai drank all the yellow in the bowl and wiped his mouth: "Good wine!" ”
The two of them didn't say anything, they drank wine and ate meat like this, until more than half of the wine in the altar and Song Ai's forehead was slightly sweating, he put the bowl on the table: "It's enjoyable!" Enjoyable! Being able to drink and have fun with young heroes before death is a great joy in life! ”
"Why?" Song Beiyun looked confused: "Why did General Song say that he was before he died?" ”
"Lord Song, don't pretend to be confused, the crime of the rebel is unforgivable."
"Huh?" Song Beiyun raised his eyebrows: "When did General Song rebel?" ”
Song Ai was stunned, but he didn't speak.
"Didn't General Song storm Changsha City because of this Changsha City rebellion, but he didn't know that the city had been captured by Wang Shi, which led to the collapse of the halberd and the sinking of the sand? At most, it is an unfavorable leader and poor news, and the Marquis of Yu retains the observation to wait for the Privy Council to be dispatched, so what does it have to do with rebellion? Song Beiyun spread out his hand: "Is General Song confused?" ”
Everyone is a smart person, as soon as he said it, Song Ai's heart was as bright as a mirror, he immediately lifted his armor and knelt on one knee: "The last general doesn't know that Changsha has been attacked by Lord Qincha, and he attacked the city without exploring the truth and without exploring the truth, and he deserves death!" Everything but listen to the Chincha Lord's fate. ”
Song Beiyun smiled, but did not speak: "Now the situation is clear, it's just a misunderstanding, you and I are a rebel, I am a rebel, and I am a rebel, and I have fought a confused battle." General Song, please get up, this rebellion is still a burning prairie fire, and in the future, we will rely on the power of General Song. ”
"The last general will be sent at will."
