Volume 3 The Expedition to the Yellow Turban Chapter 97 Correspondence Wancheng (I)
Zhang Mancheng is in the camp.
After Xu Huang led people to the camp, a man with a yellow turban hurried towards him.
When the man came closer, he bowed to him and said, "I have seen the general, and I have come to lead the way for the general on the orders of the commander!" ”
Xu Huang saw that Zhang Mancheng had arranged everything, and returned the salute: "In this way, there will be Brother Lao." ”
"Please!" The man was no longer polite, and as soon as he took the hand, he led the way before the head.
After arriving at the place where he was stationed, Xu Huang took a look and saw that the terrain was flat, the surroundings were extremely wide, and there was a small stream flowing slowly from a distance, which was indeed a good place for garrison.
When Xu Huang saw this camp, he nodded with satisfaction, and said to the person who led the way: "After you go back, thank Qu Shuai on my behalf, and say: This station, my subordinates are very satisfied, thank you Qu Shuai for your kindness." ”
"Hmm," the man nodded, "The general's words will definitely be brought in the future, please rest assured."
Wait a minute, there will be some grain and grass delivered, and I hope the general will not forget to receive it at that time. ”
Xu Huang nodded: "From a certain province, thank you brother for reminding me?" ”
Seeing that everything was almost arranged, the man said goodbye to Xu Huang: "There are still things to do next, so I will take the first step." ”
"So, brother, go slowly."
"Say goodbye below."
After saying that, the man hurried back to his life.
After the man left, Xu Huang ordered his subordinates to set up camp.
When he was busy working, he heard a report from his subordinates that a team transporting grain and grass outside was rushing here, and Xu Huang heard about it, so he immediately hurried out to greet him.
After Xu Huang came out, he saw a convoy of hundreds of carriages slowly approaching, led by several yellow turban leaders in front of him.
Seeing this, Xu Huang didn't dare to slack off, so he walked forward quickly.
After coming to the front, Xu Huang arched his hand and said: "Thank you for sending grain and grass to you, but you have to work for all the brothers." ”
"Hahaha..."
In front of the first few people, one of them laughed before speaking, jumped off the horse, and said loudly: "Brother Li doesn't have to be polite, a certain family is also surnamed Li, called Li Damu, maybe we were still a family five hundred years ago!" ”
Several other people also dismounted, echoing and saying, "It's just ......."
We're a bunch of big guys, what's the point of thanking us? If you really want to thank us, you might as well treat us to a big drink! ”
Xu Huang smiled bitterly when he saw this, and somewhat understood Li Mancheng's suffering.
Since he entered Beijing, the people he has seen are either his subordinates or senior officials in the court.
Even if he was later kicked out of the barracks and followed Li Zhi, the people he saw were also polite, how could he ever see such a vulgar person.
However, the performance of these people reminded Xu Huang that his current identity is also a reckless yellow scarf leader, and he can't be too polite on weekdays.
After figuring it out, Xu Huang followed their example and laughed: "Hahaha... The brothers were right, but when they first arrived, they didn't know much about the people in the camp, and they were afraid of offending people, so they treated each other politely everywhere. ”
"What is there to offend?!"
Li Damu waved his hand, glared at the bull's eye and said: "Our group of fighting men on the battlefield, what kind of grudge do you have, fight for it, if you want to reconcile, a banquet will do!"
Like a brother, so polite, but it makes people feel that their brothers are weak and can be bullied! ”
When Xu Huang heard this, he bowed and said, "I've been taught!" ”
"You're ......!"
Li Damu looked at Xu Huang speechlessly, pointed to his saluting hand, and said depressedly: "Why are you here again?!" It's all said that you don't need to be polite! ”
"Huh......?" Xu Huang looked at his arched hands, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "This has become a habit!" ”
When Li Damu heard this, he said, "Hey! You've got to fix it!
Forget it, don't talk about this, why didn't my brother invite us in, didn't he look down on a few of us?! ”
Hearing Li Damu's complaining words, Xu Huang apologized and said, "Forgive me, you are really losing ......?" ”
Speaking of this, Xu Huang paused, smiled bitterly, and said a little deflated: "I can't change this polite problem, forget it, brothers come with me!" ”
After everyone entered Xu Huang's tent, Xu Huang gave an order to one of the guards, and then said to a few people: "Forgive me, brothers, I didn't expect a few brothers to come in such a hurry, and there is nothing to prepare, so I can only eat some homely meals."
However, when he came from Yingchuan, he brought a few jars of good wine, and today he shares it with his brothers. ”
Seeing that Xu Huang said politely, Li Damu and the others laughed and said, "Why should my brother be so polite.
We were all peasants, if it weren't for the dog emperor's misdeeds and connivance with the eunuchs to bring disaster to the world, we wouldn't have turned against him.
Now I can have a bite of food to eat and a sip of wine to drink, even if it's good, what kind of delicacies do you want to eat! ”
"Oh?"
Xu Huang was shocked when he heard this, and asked Li Damu suspiciously: "Since my brother was originally a farmer, why didn't he farm well, but came here at the risk of killing his head?" But what happened at home? ”
"Alas!"
Li Damu sighed, and said with a sad face: "Originally, my family was quite wealthy, although it is not a rich family, but it can be regarded as a food and clothing."
But I don't want to, the county magistrate in our county is an extremely greedy dog official.
Although we know the temperament of the dog official, we feel that there are countless big families in the county, how can it be turned... It wasn't our turn to be troubled by him, so we didn't care too much.
But I don't want to, but the dog official is a person who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard!
Although the big families were so rich that he was envious and jealous, he didn't dare to mess with those big families.
Instead, he turned his attention to our rather solid civilian homes! ”
At this, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of murder.
Immediately, tears overflowed from his eyes, and he continued with some sadness: "There are 14 people in my family! In the end, I was the only one who was persecuted by that dog official! ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Huang with red eyes, and asked in a sad voice: "Brother Li, tell me, where else can I go if I am not there?!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he closed his eyes tightly, and tears slowly flowed out of the corners of his eyes.......
“……!” Xu Huang clenched his fists, and there was anger and sadness in his eyes, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to be silent.
At this time, Xu Huang's heart was very complicated, and he didn't know whether what he was doing now was good or bad.
He hesitated a little, and thought to himself, "This group of yellow turbans really deserve to die?"
They are just a group of people struggling to survive in this troubled world, what's wrong?! ”
Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was an official and a soldier, and he was a mortal enemy with this group of people.
Moreover, although most of these yellow turban people are forced to be helpless.
However, after joining the Yellow Turbans, they slashed the butcher's knife at the common people, committing a lot of blood debts, and their feelings were pitiful, but their deeds were... Damned!
Thinking of this, Xu Huang felt a lot better.
At this moment, the meal was ready, and all the soldiers brought it up one by one, and brought over a few jars of good wine brought by Xu Huangte.
After the meal was arranged, Xu Huang picked up the wine cup and said to the yellow scarves: "I have just arrived in the next year, and I hope that you brothers will help you more in the future, and talk about a glass of wine, please!" ”
After speaking, he saluted everyone in the wine cup and drank it all.
"Good! Joyfully! Li Damu also broke free from his sadness, and when he saw that Xu Huang was drinking cleanly, he cheered loudly at this time
Seeing that Xu Huang finished drinking, Li Damu was also dry, picked up the wine cup, and said "please" to Xu Huang, took a sip, and drank all the wine in the cup.
After he finished drinking, he saw that his face was red, his eyes were wide open, and he shouted: "Good wine!" ”
Immediately, he stared at Xu Huang again, rubbed his hands, and asked Xu Huang a little embarrassedly, "Brother, do you still have this wine?" Or...... Give me a little even? ”
"What did my brother say!"
Seeing that Li Damu liked this wine, Xu Huang waved his hand: "Since the brothers like this wine, after the brothers are full of food and drink, I will give the brothers a few jars!" ”
"Good! Brother is really refreshing! ”
Li Damu couldn't help but applaud loudly......
