Chapter 608: Grace and Might
、、、、、、、、、、
It didn't take long for Yuming to come as promised, wearing his signature white clothes and white armor, with the stars in the sky. Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin and others also accompanied. Seeing the expectant but anxious eyes of the officers and soldiers, Yu Mingfang smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, I came here tonight, in fact, I just want to ...... with you Drink a few bowls of wine. I know that most of you are from Guanlong! And it's a coincidence that I am also a Yu valve from Guanlong. Today, you have chosen to abandon Tang Congzhou, which is a wise move...... I will not treat you badly! ”
After hearing this, all the troops present also breathed a sigh of relief, and the dazzling torches around the camp seemed to be much softer......
Yuming has his own unique charm, which is why he can be supported by many people. And tolerance for others is one of the important principles in his dealings with others. For all those who are willing to submit to him, Yuming has great trust in him. Whether it was Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui who came over when Yang Guang withdrew from Liaodong, or Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Luo Shixin and others who received Zhang Xutuo after his death. He has the same trust, and treats him the same as his descendants Lin Mo, Wei Chi Jingde and Guo Yi, etc., without any deviation.
Therefore, he always won the trust and love of the officers and soldiers of Zhou, as well as the surname Shilin.
When he was on the shore of Luoshui, the officers and soldiers of Tang only saw him in front of the two armies, impassionedly, angrily reprimanded Qu Tutong, and then fired four arrows in a row, and the arrows killed Qu Tuquan, which can be described as mighty, so that everyone can't help but feel awe.
An emperor is high above the top, which makes people awe-inspiring, but also makes his subordinates feel alienated.
And if they are estranged for a long time, suspicion will arise between monarchs and ministers, and if there is more suspicion, civil strife will naturally occur. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Xuangan rebelled, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, and the rebellion between Du Fuwei and Fu Gongzuo was nothing more than this.
Of course, these surrendered Tang troops would not trust Yuming right away, wholeheartedly support him, and regard him as their loyal monarch. It can be seen that he only brought two generals and more than one guard, and came to his camp of 60,000 people, saying that he just wanted to drink a few bowls of wine with himself and others, and showed a friendly and kind smile, after the Tang officer who surrendered, he suddenly felt that it seemed that this legendary hero, Yuming, one of the two walls of the Great Sui, was not only ruthless on the battlefield. This Great Zhou Emperor seems to be also an amiable person!
And the dignified Emperor of the Great Zhou wanted to drink with himself and others, so naturally some soldiers had already brought a jar of wine. Although alcohol is not allowed in the army, this is difficult for Xu Shiji, after all, this is outside Luoyang City, and it is easy to transport some wine from the city.
As a result, the tables were filled with bowls of wine with a rich fragrance. Long bars of tables spread deep into the tent. In the crowd, the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Army and the Tang Army came and went, guessing and drinking, so they were not happy.
After the wine patrol, Yu Mingfang raised another bowl of wine and said loudly with the smell of wine: "The officers and soldiers who are willing to stand with me today are all people who understand righteousness. This first bowl is to honor your deep righteousness! If you hadn't abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I don't know how many people would have died in today's battle. Originally, the war was cruel, casualties were inevitable, and everyone was a hot-blooded man, so it should be a light life and a heavy righteousness. But since the former Sui Emperor Yang Guang's expedition to Goryeo, how many years has it been since everyone lived peacefully? All the gentlemen present, in which year did you not see war and fighting? The surname of the world, how many people can live and work in peace and contentment?? ”
After he said this, the officers and soldiers of the entire battalion, whether they were from the original Tang Army or the Zhou Army, were all solemn. Who of them doesn't want to have a good day? Who doesn't want the world to be peaceful, there is no need to worry about having a meal every day like now. When will this war that has lasted for more than ten years be the end?
At this moment, all the Tang army soldiers felt that Yang Guang didn't understand their thoughts before, and Li Yuan and Qu Tutong didn't understand them. Only the Great Zhou Emperor Yu Ming in front of them knew what they really wanted and what they needed.
Yu Ming drank the bowl of wine in his hand at this time, and then said in a deep voice: "But fortunately, at present, I have unified most of the world, only Li Yuan is still guarding the Guanzhong and resisting stubbornly, and when our army enters and occupies the Guanzhong next year, the world will be reunited, and all the soldiers and surnames can live a peaceful and happy life!" And this bowl of wine is a wise choice for you today, standing on the side of righteousness! Standing on the side of the world, it is you who let more people live! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldiers all said in unison.
Although their words were simple, only six words, they already spoke their hearts and expressed their gratitude.
At this time, a person from the Tang army immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is so benevolent and righteous, and you are also so kind to our soldiers!" Qian Chang, the former pseudo-Tang Hu Benlang, on behalf of his five thousand sons, salutes His Majesty with a glass of water and wine, and we will be sent by His Majesty, even if we want to go up the Sword Mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will not give up! ”
Yu Ming also picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "When General Qian was fighting, he took the lead in the soldiers, and then put the righteousness first, and the soldiers under him were even more brave and good at fighting, I have noticed it a long time ago!" Come! Let's have a toast. ”
After that, after clinking glasses with Qian Chang, he drank it all.
Qian Chang was also very excited, what a glory it is to toast to the emperor, after the Great Zhou Dynasty unifies the world in the future, he will return to his hometown, and he can also mention it in front of his relatives and fellow villagers, which is enough to make his children and grandchildren have a bright face.
So, he immediately drank the bowl of wine in one gulp, and then bowed respectfully before withdrawing.
Someone started the business, and naturally there was an endless stream of people who came to toast. Soon, someone stepped forward to toast and said: "The subordinate is Lu Zhan, the hussar general of the original pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and the five thousand brothers under the modern watch, I salute Your Majesty a cup ......."
"The original pseudo-Tang Dynasty's Zhizhai Lang will pay a ...... to Your Majesty's subordinates of Liu Chengwandai."
The surrendered Tang army was led by these Lang generals, each of whom commanded 5,000 soldiers, and they all toasted to the Great Zhou Emperor, on the one hand, to express their admiration in their hearts, and on the other hand, to show their loyalty to the emperor, so as to have a certain place in the military system of the Zhou army in the future.
So, for a while, there was an endless stream of toasters, and every bowl of wine went down, and the troops led by Lang Jiang were cheering.
After this toast, Yu Ming did more than ten bowls again, and when the Tang officers and soldiers who surrendered cheered, they were also shocked in their hearts, secretly thinking that the Great Zhou Emperor not only had martial arts and wisdom, but also drank an amazing amount of alcohol and had a straightforward personality, no wonder he could develop from a corner of Liaodong to such a powerful point today.
Although Yu Ming drank a lot, he was still smiling, but his face was a little crimson.
At this time, a dark-faced and slender Tang Army general stepped forward and picked up a wine bowl.
"Prepare for the Fulang will Tu Zhifang salute His Majesty with a cup of ......"
The man's voice was a little soft, and he lowered his head, as if he was a little shy.
Yu Ming picked up the wine glass and was about to clink glasses with it, but his brows furrowed, and his vigilance rose sharply. Because he found that when this general raised his glass, no one cheered among the Tang army's troops.
This is a strange thing, every Lang will toast before, and the soldiers of his unit will shout and cheer for their superiors. And this Tu Zhifang, no one shouted for him.
Yu Ming always felt a little uncertain before, so when he drank with a smile and spoke generously. But he never lowered his vigilance.
When each general stepped forward to toast, although he smiled and drank it all, he was very attentive to the other person's every move. He doesn't have the heart to hurt others, but he never dares to give up the heart of defending people.
This person's origin is unknown, and his intentions are even more unkind, Yu Ming thought of this, so he took a step back with his wine glass.
At the same time, Na Tu Zhifang suddenly jumped up, drew his knife with his backhand, and slashed at him.
This sudden change made the surrendered Tang Jun stunned, and they never expected that someone would assassinate Yuming at this moment.
Then, they were angry, where did this Tu Zhifang come from? There is no Lang general in his own army with this name at all. Didn't he know that assassinating the Great Zhou Emperor here would put the 60,000 soldiers who surrendered to death?
Yu Ming faced this person and saw a strange face with a dark complexion. This person's expression was stiff, like a dead man, and it can be seen that he is wearing a mask.
However, although the face was unfamiliar, Yu Ming was shocked at this moment, because he had already discovered that this person had a slender figure and a slender figure, and he should be a woman. And this woman should have seen it too. Otherwise, there won't be a sense of familiarity with her figure.
It's just that Yu Ming can't remember for a while when he offended a woman who had to kill himself quickly, and he had such a clever kung fu.
After taking a sharp breath, Yu Ming's figure fell backwards and dodged the knife. Then he pulled out the scimitar from his waist with his backhand and slashed at the assassin.
Seeing this, the assassin felt a chill in his heart, and turned sideways to dodge Yuming's counterattack. She thought to herself, this Yuming's martial arts seemed to be much more clever than when they first met. It seems that although this person's status is getting higher and higher, his martial arts have not been pulled down at all.
It's just that Yuming has to govern the world and command wars, how can he have so much time to practice martial arts? How could his martial arts enter the country so quickly?
The Assassin was stunned, but he was not slow in his hands. "Ping Pong", has exchanged several knives with Yuming. She only felt that the tiger's mouth was violently shaken, and the long knife was a little unstable.
She knew that Yu Ming seemed to be very aggressive, but he was actually a very careful person. This time she has been planning for a long time, and she is bound to win, and she must not give up easily.
