Volume 4 Bohai Eagle Yang Chapter 22 Momen Disciples
The sun was rising, the horses' hooves were brisk, and several knights faintly appeared outside Nanpi City.
"Phew!" The knight at the moment lightly pulled the reins and looked in the direction of Nanpi, but only vaguely saw the tall city wall not far away, which was still hazy as a giant beast crouching.
"Big brother!" A young man shouted from behind him: "The senior is in a hurry to wait for me to rush to Yingyang Zhonglang today to listen to the order, and now Nanpi is in sight, why are you hesitating?" ”
"That's not right!" The young man who was called the eldest brother looked around, and said with some confusion: "Didn't the seniors say that construction is going on outside Nanpi City, and there are still a large number of displaced people gathering?" ”
"Look!" He whipped his whip and walked outside the city: "Look at the past, everything is business as usual for miles!" And how do we go about finding the big tent of the Eagle Yang Zhonglang General? ”
"Then let's go into town! Lo and behold, it's time to open the gates! Another teenager looked up at the slowly rising red sun: "Go to the Taishou Mansion and ask!" ”
"Brother Xian, you're wrong!" The young man smiled and said, "According to the seniors, this new Taishou has never stepped into the Taishou Mansion even now!" I heard that he had been living in a barracks outside the city. ”
"Hey, hey! This general is a soldier! The two teenagers laughed together.
A teenager was eager to try: "It's really impatient to be able to play for the legendary Eagle Yang Zhonglang General!" ”
The other teenager narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"Then the only way to find the Han soldiers is to try to find them!" The young man groaned, "Go! Let's inquire and see if there is a Han army camp nearby! ”
The silence of the early morning was suddenly shattered by the rumbling of hooves, and more than a dozen black-armored cavalry galloped like a whirlwind.
"Black Armor?" The young man and the two teenagers exchanged a look of astonishment, this is not the uniform of the regular Han army!
"Dare to ask a few, but the Momen disciples?" The cavalry arrived in an instant, and a cavalryman who looked like an officer raised his hand from afar.
"It's really the soldiers and horses of the Eagle Yang Zhonglang General!" The young man's heart was relieved, and he arched his hand and said: "Momen Mo Zhe, Mo Ming, Mo Cheng, on the orders of Mo Rang, the predecessor of this sect, are here to listen to Nanying Yang's dispatch!" ”
"I've been waiting for a long time!" The officer looked pleased and made a "please" gesture: "Gentlemen, please come with me!" ”
As the sun rose in the east, the fiery red light sprinkled all over the heaven and earth, and more than ten riders galloped east together to meet the sun.
"This general!" Mo Zhe happened to ride side by side with the officer, and couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart: "Didn't you say that General Nan's camp was located outside Nanpi City?" Why do we still have to go east? ”
"Mr. Mo Zhe should be called so, he is just a Dubo, but he can't be called a general!" The officer laughed: "Sir, about the general's camping place, you must have listened to what Mr. Mo Rang said, right?" This is not surprising, because when the old gentleman left, the general's tent was indeed set up not far from the city of Nanpi! ”
"Oh? I don't know why General Nan moved? Mo Zhe was puzzled, and then he was puzzled: "Is something wrong?" ”
"For the big thing, of course!" The officer seemed to be a little vague, and he smiled: "Otherwise, how could the general urge Mo to let the old gentleman reluctantly transfer out a few gentlemen?" You must know that your previous task is also imminent! ”
Mo Zhe thought of the shipbuilding plan that was in full swing, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He and others were ordered by the emperor to secretly sneak into the Bohai Sea, and the task was to build a building ship of a certain scale. Although the oracle clearly ordered himself and others to strictly follow the edict of General Yingyang Zhonglang, the transfer of all three Momen heirs in one fell swoop still revealed a trace of extraordinary meaning.
"Oh? What's the big deal? The young man named Mo Ming rushed up from behind and asked curiously, "Can you ask Du Bo to tell me?" ”
Natub smiled, but did not answer.
Mo Zhe glanced at Mo Ming, these two boys are not reasonable, what kind of character will Yingyang Zhonglang be? The matter of his personal deployment is naturally confidential, how can he inquire so rashly!
He looked at Mo Ming and Mo Cheng's expressions that wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but sigh. Momen is really in decline, and the disciples are not as good as the next generation, and it is difficult to refine even the basic stability of the heart, how can they achieve the state of mind of "self-suffering is extreme"? However, it is a great surprise to be able to meet the legendary predecessor of Momen in Momen here......
"The general urgently summoned us and others to come, I believe that there must be a major military incident! So dare to ask General Nan where is the account now? Mo Zhe cleaned up his mood and deliberately avoided the previous topic, which was also implicitly waking up the two junior brothers
"Sir, please be at ease!" Na Du Bo pointed ahead and said, "Actually, the general's tent is set up forty miles east of Nanpi, and with the speed of our horses, it will be there soon!" ”
Mo Zhe nodded slightly, temporarily pressing down the confusion and curiosity in his stomach, but he couldn't help but clamp the horse's belly.
The horse seemed to sense the eagerness of its master, neighed softly, and let go of full speed between its hooves.
The vast expanse of land as far as the eye can see, moving back rapidly under the horse's hooves, and as the sky brightens, the scenery of the flat and open North China Plain can be seen at a glance.
Suddenly, Mo Zhe grabbed the reins of the horse and stared blankly at the distant scene, his eyes full of shock.
On the plains in the distance, wooden villages rose from the ground, faintly forming a huge ring-shaped formation, and countless wriggling crowds lined up to the sky like ant colonies, at least tens of thousands of people.
"Oh my God! What's going on here? Mo Ming and Mo Cheng shouted together: "How can there be so many people!" ”
"Several! Please come with me! Nadu Bo said proudly: "My general has been looking forward to your arrival, and he is relying on the strength of a few gentlemen!" ”
"Being able to meet Nan Yingyang in person is exactly what we want!" Mo Ming and Mo Cheng glanced at each other, happy and colorful.
These two boys, why are they so excited! Mo Zhe was slightly stunned, and then shook his head and smiled, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he seemed to be as high-spirited as them, right? Admiring heroes and longing to be heroes is the dream of every boy... Thinking about it, Mo Zhe suddenly found that his mind was also a little restless, even if he was talented and learned, he had to be appreciated by someone to live up to this life!
A pair of calloused hands waved a brisk whip shadow, and in the crisp sound, a ploughing ox raised its head and neighed, bringing the muddy waves rolling behind him. The black land, which has been silent for a long time, is full of vitality again, the spring water is moist, and the wild land is drunk, all indicating the vitality and spring of the coming year.
Groups of farmers are either immersed in the ploughing or taking a break with their hoes, and their bronzed foreheads are dripping with sweat, but they can't hide the warmth and pleasure. Some people are slowly stepping on the beat of farming, plowing the dark brown fertile soil, as if to sow the seeds of life and hope in advance, and some people are climbing on each other's broad and strong shoulders, as if they are listening to each other's heavy breathing, feeling the joy of rebirth, and then burying the endless pain of the past forever.
An old man trembled and fell to his knees in the dirt, grabbed a handful with his hand, put it in the palm of his hand and crushed it carefully, and the deep hills and ravines on his forehead suddenly squirmed, just like the shallow ditches that emerged from the dirt around him. A muddy tear slowly fell, with the best expectations for the golden autumn, moistened in advance in this field of hope.
Mo Zhe looked at it in a daze, he couldn't know all the thoughts of these farmers and the old man, but he fully felt the hope that had been suppressed for a long time but once broke through the ground. Eagle Yang Zhonglang will ...... This legendary famous general, who has always brought defeat and death to the enemy, now, what kind of hope did he give to the people of Bohai? It is possible to make these peasant families, whose ancestors have been repeating agricultural work for generations, burst out with such fierce vitality!
The noise came from afar, and a large group of people walked along the ridge road, and a young general with a handsome appearance and a calm face was pointing to the roads that were stretching in the distance, and issued a series of instructions from his mouth, all of which were commanding and determined.
Dozens of officials at all levels around him listened attentively, recorded carefully on the wat board in their hands from time to time, and some even raised their hands to ask questions from time to time, showing a rigorous style.
"I heard that Ying Yang Zhonglang will be weak in his age, can he say..."Mo Ming's eyes lit up: "Who is this general in front of you?" ”
"Definitely!" Na Du Bo smiled and said: "This general is the military Sima of General Yingyang Zhonglang, and Ma Jun, who is also the ---- of the Taishou Mansion Daoqiao!" ”
"What! Just a Peng Shi? Several Momen heroes exclaimed in a low voice together: "Nanying Yang's subordinates are indeed elites!" ”
The young general seemed to hear that someone was talking about him, turned his head and showed a bright smile to the three of them, and gave a military salute from afar.
The three of them hurriedly returned the salute on their horses, and were about to dismount for a while, but they heard the sound of hooves like thunder in the distance, and a group of black-armored cavalry of about 100 people galloped over.
However, seeing people like tigers and horses like dragons, a team of more than 100 cavalry showed the majestic momentum of thousands of troops.
Mo Zhe looked at Du Bo beside him with an inquiring gaze, but saw that he was lowering his head and saluting respectfully to the young general, and couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that this general is Nanying Yang?" ”
"Sir, you guessed wrong again!" Na Du Bo kept watching the young general go away, and then smiled and said: "This general is General Li Jin, the commander of Pingchuan, the first-class marksman of our army, and it is my direct superior!" ”
"It's not!" Mo Cheng was a little disappointed, but praised again: "But this General Li Jin is really heroic and extraordinary, and he must have the courage of ten thousand people!" ”
"Of course!" Na Du Bo smiled proudly again: "General Li Jin completely annihilated the rebels of Xiliang Striker outside Chang'an City that day, and he cut the enemy chief under the horse with just one sword!" ”
"Awesome!" The three of them couldn't help but gasp.
A loud voice came from the front again, but seeing a crowd of people in front of him, he was surrounding a high platform and listening to a handsome young official's loud voice.
“…… Dear fathers and fellow villagers, the implementation of the law of tuntian is the merit of the future, the benefit of the contemporary, each ding can get 20 acres of land, the first year to pay the tax of the number of tithes, the second year to pay tithes, the third year to reduce the tax to three tithes...... For those who have been in the field for five years, 20 acres of land will be privately owned... .......If a soldier sacrifices his life for the country, in addition to the compassionate funds, his parents, wives and children are also supported by the Taishou Mansion with 10 stone of grain every year.......
The young official's face was full of sincerity, but his impassioned words were interrupted by the bursts of cheers from the audience from time to time, and he not only did not care, but showed a look of great relief.
"Who is this?" The three of Momen had learned from the past, and they didn't dare to speculate anymore.
"This is the earliest subordinate of my general!" Na Du Bo smiled and said, "Tuntian Duwei Zaoyi! Hugh look at this lord Si Swenwen, but the swordsmanship of one hand can be the crown in our army! ”
“…… Both civil and military! The three of them were amazed again.
"Actually, the three gentlemen may not believe it!" Na Du Bo seemed to be deliberately reluctant to speak: "Although the generals and adults I just met have important positions, they are not considered to be the best among my generals......
He said with a look of sincere admiration: "Under the general's account, there are some brave and unparalleled talents in wisdom, and even heroes among women, all of whom are smiling and proud of the figures, and a few will know it at first sight in the future!" ”
Mo Zhe was suddenly depressed, in vain he was still conceited of his talent before, it was really a bit of a well. There is also the leader of the group of Ying Yang Zhonglang generals, according to legend, he is a young **, excellent medical skills, and strong martial arts, brave champion of the three armies, such a big Han Tianjiao can really look down on himself such an unknown Momen disciple?
He settled down before he said, "I was fortunate enough to meet a few generals, but I don't know where General Nan is now?" ”
"Haha! General him? Always act unexpectedly! Nadu Bo showed a strange smile, and he pointed ahead: "Everyone, please look, my general is there!" ”
The three of them looked at him as he pointed and couldn't help but look at each other in a daze.
