Chapter 643 Old Cow
Xu Shiji, the person who came, didn't recognize it, but he knew by listening to the accent that it was a Shandong man, who was in tatters and dirty, and quietly crossed the river in the miserable crowd.
When he was brought over to talk to Xu Shiji, this Shandong man who looked like a cow first looked at the other side, and then looked left and right, the head of the thief looked like a cow who wanted to play tricks, and it looked a little ridiculous.
And this person is true to his name, and indeed his surname is Niu......
"My name is Niu Meng, I've met the general a few times, do you remember me?"
Xu Shiji, who had already guessed the purpose of the visitor, smiled gently, he naturally couldn't recognize who this Shandong man was, but he knew that this person was probably either the old man of Wagang or the old department of Duke Wei, and there would be no third possibility.
"It's déjà vu, you're ...... Well, by the way, there seems to be only one family surnamed Niu, could it be Niu Jinda's subordinates? ”
Niu Xiu, Niu Jinda.
At that time, under Li Mi's command, the surname Niu was the only one he knew, Shandong's family, whose ancestral home was said to be Guanxi, and he had been in the army for generations, and his family background was relatively prominent among Li Mi's subordinates.
Needless to say, a person with such a background will not be a Wagang bandit, this person is Zhang Xutuo's old department, who took refuge with Qin Qiong to Li Mi, and has been working under Qin Qiong since then.
These people have a strong imprint of officers and soldiers, brave in battle, and have a degree of advance and retreat, but they are self-contained, and they are incompatible with Xu Shiji and others, that is, Cheng Zhijie's cheeky skin can still rely on his friendship with Qin Qiong in his early years to mix with them, and under the left and right, Cheng Dabeard is indeed a little more comfortable than others.
Xu Shiji and Niu Jinda have met a few times, and they have no friendship at all, he is different from Cheng Zhijie, he can get along with anyone, but he is definitely not at the point of "calling brothers and brothers, and tying the knot of life and death".
This is obviously the problem left by the bandits who were forced to go to Wagang at the beginning, and it is also inseparable from his family background.
Of course, being able to accurately say Niu Jinda's name, in addition to relying on the Henan hero genealogy he remembered, was because he knew that Niu Jinda led his troops to the other side with Wang Renze, so he also took it to heart.
Before he thought about it, Niu Jinda was more anxious than him, so he sent someone over first, is this really unbearable hunger? Remember that this person's relationship with Qin Qiong is not ordinary......
Xu Shiji knows that any strange thing can happen in the chaotic Henan, and the guess is not accurate, and the people have arrived, so there is no need to guess and guess and get along with himself.
What made him a little helpless, and his mood was not very good, those experiences that he gradually didn't want to recall showed their outlines in front of him again, no different from back then, it was called a mess.
And Wang Ren still jokingly asked him if there was any disloyal and unrighteous guy who ran across the river, and if so, he hoped to send him back to Yunyun.
It's funny to think about it, the war hasn't started yet, and many people have already begun to fend for themselves? Well, it is not unusual to put it on the Henan army.
Thinking of these, Xu Shiji didn't know what he felt in his heart, some sighed, and some was happy, and the most was probably contempt, a group of frogs at the bottom of the well, humming......
But after listening to his words, Niu Meng's face seemed to grow into a flower in an instant, and then it opened, looking like he was honored, which made Xu Shiji feel a little embarrassed.
"The general has a good memory, he still remembers me, my name is Niu Meng...... "It seems that the name is very important to him, so important things have to be said twice."
"My brother knew that General Xu was coming, so he sent me to tell General Xu that he wanted to ...... Let General Xu introduce His Royal Highness the King of Han. ”
After speaking, he was embarrassed to twist his strong body, very uncomfortable and embarrassed...... To be honest, the guys who followed Zhang Xutuo from Shandong all had some ghostly spirits.
Such a person looks very "hideous" when he laughs, just like an old cow who has drunk blood, he looks a little evil, and he can't see the honesty and straightforwardness of Shandong men at all.
"Let's go, let's talk with me as I enter the camp."
At this time, the shore was a little chaotic, and the sound was extremely noisy, and the people from Luoyang seemed to see the dawn, and one by one the once noble surnames came out of their mouths, but they were just begging for their lives.
This leaves these surnames in the dust, seemingly inexpensive, and full of the smell of desperation.
If possible, Xu Shiji would definitely shed a few tears belonging to the crocodile, but unfortunately, there is no bystander, who will do it?
Therefore, he just called his henchmen and instructed them, "Let them all be honest, carefully write down their names and origins, and then send them to the camp for placement, and then someone will come to check them, so as not to make mistakes." ”
Everything was arranged, and then he took Niu Meng to his camp, and he had to interrogate him carefully before he could report to Li Poyu.
Such credit was almost on his lips, and he naturally deserved it, and what he had to figure out now was the cause and effect.
It can be said that I don't know if I don't ask, I was shocked when I asked, damn it, Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong actually defected and disappeared?
He immediately thought of Zhang Shigui, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, Wang Shichong and Li Jiancheng...... Do you want to be more unlucky than anyone else, or do you want to see whose subordinates are more rebellious?
In fact, this is just Niu Jinda's speculation......
At this time, on the other side of the river, among the Zheng army, Niu Jinda's camp tent had also been set up.
Niu Jinda, who urged his subordinates to build the camp, entered the camp tent in ashes, walked around the tent in a restless manner, while rudely scolding the soldiers, telling them all to get out of the tent and stay away from themselves.
This is a typical Shandong man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong body, and a bad spirit.
His family background is also very good, it can be said that he was born in a famous family in Shandong, and his ancestors should have a certain connection with the Changwu Niu clan, but the time is too far away to be traced.
As for his vein, his origin was when Niu Jin reached his great-grandfather Niu Ding, who was in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the official was in the Shangzhu State of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the prince of Pingyuan County, and his grandfather Niu Shuang was the general of the Eastern Qi Dynasty and the Taishou of Huaibei.
And when it came to his father, the situation took a turn for the worse, and in the end, it was only for a county order, the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and when the Shandong people were unlucky, there was no way.
Niu Jinda joined the army as a young man, experienced two expeditions to Liaodong war, as a native of Shandong, the encounter in the Sui army can be imagined, nine deaths and a life is a true portrayal of his meeting, the third expedition to Liaodong, Shandong has been a big chaos, so Niu Jinda does not have to go out of Shandong, into Shandong to arrest the ambassador Zhang Xutuo under the service.
After many years of tossing and going, he finally crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and finally became famous in the Henan Army, following the side of Qin Qiong, the general of Longxiang, and was known for his strict management of the army and his fearlessness of death.
In the army, it is said that he and General Qin are like brothers, advancing and retreating together, but this will ...... Niu Jinda already hated the "good brother" Qin Qiong to the bone.
Qin Qiong, as soon as Cheng Zhijie left, in fact, he had already discovered that something was wrong, these two people were both heavy generals of the Chinese army, the backbone of the big guy, and they were sent out together to raise grain and grass when they were about to fight? What about liars, right?
Wang Shichong said that he didn't believe a word, the night before General Qin also convened everyone to discuss how to avoid the important and light, save everyone's strength under Tongguan, don't let others take advantage, and the next morning, he quietly took people to be the grain officer?
Niu Jinda's first thought was, could it be that the two of them were killed by the emperor? Shan Xiongxin ran away, and it was not impossible for the emperor to settle accounts with everyone.
But after thinking about it, these two people who have held military power for a long time, and they are not stupid people, how could they be killed in the army without a word?
Don't look at the surname Niu, he has a lot of eyes, and quietly, he first asked his colleagues casually, and no one knew when the two generals of Qin left.
At this time, the chill in Niu Jinda's heart was already in Dasheng, and the two leaders disappeared for no reason, whether they were dead or alive, when they were about to fight, they were all terrible signs.
Wang Shichong is not a good person, plus Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Zhijie are gone one after another, and the dragons are leaderless, so they may not be able to handle it.
That's not just a matter of making everyone rush up to Tongguan one by one, but after that, the grain and grass, soldiers, etc., why should you compete with others?
If you don't fight or grab, how can you still gain a foothold in such an army?
At this time, Niu Jinda finally became frightened, and the scene of flesh and blood flying in the city of Liaodong, Shandong people, and Hebei people suddenly appeared in front of him.
If you want to ask what lesson the two expeditions to Liaodong have taught him, he will definitely say that the cold gaze behind him is more terrifying than the murderous enemy, and the most desperate thing is to rush forward and desperately earn a way for himself to be sent to death.
So, Niu Jinda had no intention of investigating why Qin Qiong and the two disappeared, and immediately went to meet Wang Shiwei, the king of Chu.
The feeling of danger forced Niu Jinda's cleverness.
Wang Shiwei was newly defeated, even if he didn't lose his head like others, but he also made a disgraced face, and was directly charged into the Chinese army by more than 2,000 cavalry, and the matter of losing his armor and removing his armor has long been spread throughout the army.
Emperor Wang Shichong's face was gloomy, let alone Wang Shiwei.
This will go to the snow to send charcoal, Niu Jinda believes that he will be able to get what he wants.
Sure enough, he gave Wang Shiwei 2,000 of his 3,000 soldiers and horses, and directly stated his intention to serve, Niu Jinda got a good place to go, and followed Wang Ren to the river to receive ordnance.
In fact, at this time, Niu Jinda has not given birth to too many other thoughts, he has been fighting in Henan for several years, and he is very familiar with the mountains, rivers and plants here, so he is a little inseparable.
It can be said that he has no great ambitions, otherwise, with his family background and talents, how could he have been following behind others and working hard until now?
But when he left the army, some news came, which confirmed his guess and made him feel that this is not a good place and cannot stay for a long time......
