80 Peach Blossom (4)
Seeing that Wanyi's pretty face turned red, Gao Jinku and Zhou Fengwu couldn't help but be even more proud. Gao Jinku, who was a horse in his heart, couldn't bear it, and regarded Chen Hongfan as nothing, pulled his hand over the evening, and persuaded with a smile: "When I see that Mrs. is good at drinking, don't just stand, come and eat two first." ”
Wanyi exclaimed, only looked at Chen Hongfan with a pair of eyes pleading, Chen Hongfan hurriedly stepped forward, but Zhou Fengwu came out of nowhere to block him, and said: "Chen Shuai, the two of us let you have a foot, you don't respect me, don't be too difficult!" ”
"Am I excessive?" Chen Hongfan smoked and glared at Zhou Fengwu angrily.
Zhou Fengwu turned a deaf ear to the crying of the woman behind him, and suppressed his voice and said fiercely: "Don't think that you don't know what you are doing in private. To tell you the truth, the athletes in my camp stopped a rider by the Hanshui not long ago, and according to the horseman's confession, you want to send someone to Guanghua for help! ”
Chen Hongfan's heart was shocked, and he suddenly felt dry mouth, but Zhou Fengwu sneered: "You will die of this heart." Early tomorrow morning, Zuo Shuai is about to lead a large army to Gucheng. At that time, even if you call people from Junzhou and Xiangyang, you may not be able to bargain! ”
Hearing this, the cronie who was intercepted did not seem to betray his companions who went to Junzhou and Xiangyang, Chen Hongfan's hanging heart relaxed slightly, but she looked at the evening through the gap, she was bent over and was forcibly dragged to the seat by Gao Jinku. The hand that Gao Jinku freed up was very dishonest, and he had already teased his chest and buttocks more than once.
"Even so, you two don't have to be too rampant!" There is nothing more insulting than insulting his wife and concubine, Chen Hongfan was furious, seeing his concubine being violated, he was angry, and he couldn't care much for a while, so he drew his sword neatly.
Zhou Fengwu quickly took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Why should Chen Shuai be like this, the beautiful scenery of the good day, the swords and soldiers are hurt and angry when they see each other." ”
Chen Hongfan was also born in martial arts during the Wanli period, although he had not done it for decades, but once the blood was stimulated, it was also very comparable: "If the soldier will be angry, the corpse will ambush the two people, and the blood will be shed for five steps." Today, even if Chen can't protect his family, he can't throw his head and spill blood in this hall! ”
Zhou Fengwu laughed twice, but seeing that his eyes were angry like spitting fire, he put on an inappropriate posture, and his sword posture was also very old-fashioned, so he knew that what he said was not just threatening, and he was really ready to fight to the death, so he gradually couldn't laugh. Looking back, Gao Jinku didn't notice anything else, he smiled and held a glass of wine to suppress the evening drink, then coughed twice and said, "Old Gao, be more restrained." ”
Gao Jinku turned his head to look back, but his hands still did not relax: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhou Fengwu whispered a few words to him, and his expression immediately condensed, and he reluctantly let go of his disheveled night. Wanyi cried and threw himself into Chen Hongfan's arms, his shoulders shrugged violently, thinking that he was frightened.
"It was originally a happy banquet, but Chen Shuai didn't give face." Gao Jinku stared jealously at the night of hugging Chen Hongfan, as if he was still unsatisfied.
Chen Hongfan said solemnly: "Chen is not a character, and he doesn't have so much face to give!" As he spoke, he whispered to comfort the concubine in his arms. He naturally knew what Gao and Erren were worried about. If he had always been obedient tonight and didn't dare to speak out, there would be a chance that he would be insulted that night, but now that he is determined to fight for his life, then Gao and Zhou will have to weigh the future. Although his own army is weak, but his status is also the official chief military officer of the imperial court, once he makes a mistake, not to mention Gao and Zhou, Zuo Liangyu may not be able to bear it. And Zuo Liangyu has just been punished by the imperial court, and it is at the moment when he is ready to make meritorious service for his crimes, and he has been so sideways by Gao and Zhou, it is conceivable that I am afraid that the imperial court has not yet issued a punishment order, and he will have to take the "family law" first within the Zuo family army.
"There is still something in Chen's family, so I will not accompany him!" Chen Hongfan suppressed the scene in one fell swoop, unwilling to face Gao and Zhou anymore, put away his sword and hugged Wanyi in his arms, and strode out of the hall.
Zhou Fengwu's voice sounded behind his head: "Chen Shuai walks slowly, and when Zuo Shuai arrives tomorrow, let's get drunk again." ”
"Hmph, the shameless people are especially unwilling, do you want to blackmail me with the surname Zuo?" Chen Hongfan scolded secretly, but did not answer, but walked faster. Today's things are today, tomorrow's things are tomorrow's plans, in Chen Hongfan's heart, family is always the first, bad luck falls into the hands of tigers and wolves, and the only thing he thinks of is to be able to protect his family more day by day.
On the way home from the banquet, Chen Hongfan saw all the soldiers on the left holding open fire, plundering the people from house to house. Countless cries and shouts and scolding blended from far and near, almost filling the ears. Wanyi hugged Chen Hongfan's neck and shrunk and said, "Master, let Wanyi go by herself." "Chen Hongfan is no longer young, because he can't see it in front of the good people who maintain it, but he is actually over fifty years old. The smooth and kind in the past suddenly exploded into a sharp edge on this night, and the evening understood the truth of "old people don't get angry", and knew that at this time, he was still holding his master and was angry after rushing to the crown, which inevitably hurt the original god, so he understood him and didn't want him to work harder.
Chen Hongfan shook his head, looked around and said, "I'll just hold you." The surrounding soldiers kept going back and forth, and many of them couldn't help but look at the evening when they passed by, only because they saw Chen Hongfan's officer uniform again that they dispelled their minds.
"Old man......" buried his beautiful and desolate face deep in Chen Hongfan's chest and stopped talking. For her, although it is now a tiger's den in Longtan, with such a man protecting her and making decisions for her, she is really full of an unparalleled sense of security.
Her sense of security comes from Chen Hongfan, and Chen Hongfan's sense of security comes from another man.
"I don't know if Brother Zhao Xiandi has received the news...... Chen Hongfan raised his head slightly in a slow step, looked at the starry sky, and sighed secretly.
At noon the next day, Gao Jinku and Zhou Fengwu, who were lying together horizontally and vertically, were woken up by Feng Wen, the head of the right Xiao cavalry camp who came to report in a hurry. Last night, the two of them failed to get their hands on Chen Hongfan's beautiful concubine, and their irritability was always uncontrollable, so they sent soldiers to the city to catch and plunder the prostitutes and the good looks of a few good housewives to accompany them to drink, and they stayed until the second half of the night.
At this time, I was sleepy-eyed and a little hungover, but I heard Feng Wen's voice in my ears like a cannon: "Let the two adults know that there is a large group of soldiers and horses calling the city outside the east gate, and it has been an hour or two!" ”
Gao Jinku jumped up with a carp, but he stepped on a piece of peel under his feet and almost fell back, but fortunately, Zhou Fengwu helped him in time to avoid gaffes. He calmed down a little and asked, "His grandmother's, it's been two hours before he came to report to Lao Tzu?" ”
Feng Wen was shocked and said: "My lord is angry, I have called several times before, but the two masters have always been asleep and can't wake up......"
"A thief cowards things, and you dare to talk back?" Gao Jinku was furious, looking left and right to find his waist knife.
Zhou Fengwu persuaded: "Now is not the time to fight for this length. Finally held Gao into the warehouse and asked Feng Wen again, "How many people are coming?" Under what banner? "Since the soldier looked flustered, it seems that the army outside the city is not the expected Zuo Liangyu army.
Feng Wen replied: "The men and horses of Zhao Dangshi, the general soldier of Yunxiang, have a total of 2,000 horses. Li Dusi was going back and forth with him to stall for time. "The left and right Xiao cavalry battalions have battalion divisions responsible for front-line command operations, and Li Dusi is Zhou Fengwu's subordinate Li Yuncheng.
"Zhao Dangshi?" Gao Jinku fell to his feet, but fortunately he held Zhou Fengwu.
Zhou Fengwu's facial muscles were stiff and his breath was short: "Can you see the truth?" "Last night, I intercepted and killed a pond horse sent by Chen Hongfan to ask for help, I thought I would sit back and relax, but I didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net.
Feng Wen nodded like pounding garlic: "The villain has been talking to the surnamed Zhao for two hours, and I will confirm in every possible way that there will be no difference." ”
"How is he doing?"
"The one surnamed Zhao wants our army to open the city gate. The villain refused. ”
Zhou Fengwu suddenly became nervous, and continued to ask: "What did he say?" ”
Feng Wen shook his head and said, "The one surnamed Zhao first said that he wanted to enter the city, but he was rejected by the villain. Later, he said that he wanted to take Chen Shuai out of the city, and he also prevaricated to the villain. Now he is squatting outside the city gate with soldiers and horses, only urging to see the two adults, and the villain thinks that this thing can be done, so he hurries to come to the adults again. ”
Gao Jinku said to Zhou Fengwu: "The surname Zhao must have received Chen Hongfan's call for help, so he came in the starry night." But he's a horse army, and he won't storm the city in the future, so we have nothing to worry about. ”
Zhou Fengwu's face was solemn: "The reason is this reason, but brother, don't you feel strange?" Let's agree with Zuo Shuai to meet in Gucheng before noon, and now that the surname Zhao has arrived, why hasn't Zuo Shuai arrived yet? ”
"The road in the mountains is rugged, and it is estimated that there is a delay." Gao Jinku propped his chin with two fingers and thought, "The surname Zhao is not an ordinary person, he is cunning and wise, Lao Li may have been coaxed by him, let's go to the city to have a look." ”
Zhou Fengwu nodded yes, and the two wiped their faces sober, and then followed Feng Wen and quickly rushed to the east gate. Before reaching the head of the city, I heard the noise outside the city, and looked down from the stacks of the high warehouse, hundreds of paces away soldiers and horses were lined up, and the armor reflected into the sun and the eyes were full of golden light. In the array, there is a canopy, which is far away, and it must be where Zhao Dangshi, the chief soldier of Yunxiang, is located.
Li Yuncheng briefly reported the situation to Gao and Zhou, and said: "The surname Zhao said that tea was placed under the canopy, and the two adults were invited to go out of the city to talk to each other." ”
Gao Jinku and Zhou Fengwu glanced at each other, and each muttered secretly. Zhao Dangshi's style has long been heard of by both of them, and there may really be tea under the canopy in the distance, but no one knows what people drank in the past.
"Brother Zhou, why don't you go?" The two were silent for a long time, Gao Jinku cleared his throat and took the lead in saying, "I have a hangover and a headache, and I'm afraid that I won't play well." ”
Zhou Fengwu shook his hand again and again: "Senior brother, where is this?" The left and right cavalry battalions have always been left in front and right in the back. My old Zhou has always regarded my brother as a role model and a worthy senior. In terms of seniority and status, the senior brothers are above me, although the surname Zhao is despicable, after all, he is also a character who can stand side by side with Zuo Shuai. ”
Gao Jinku shook his head like a rattle: "Brother Zhou's statement is ridiculous, if people want to progress, they need to exercise a lot." This is a good opportunity to fight with the surname Zhao, and you will definitely benefit for a lifetime. Maybe in the future, the cavalry camp in the left town will be right in front and left in the back. ”
Zhou Fengwu forcibly laughed twice and didn't speak, Gao Jinku looked at him and smiled, and then his face tightened and he pursed his lips, and the two looked aimlessly at the eye-catching canopy again, and fell into a stalemate.
After a while, but seeing the canopy ride out and go straight to the east city gate, Gao Jinku gasped, and hurriedly ordered left and right: "Bow quickly!" ”
Li Yuncheng was puzzled: "It's just one person and one horse." ”
Gao Jinku scolded: "Dog day things, what do you know." There are a lot of demons and monsters in Zhao Ying, have you ever heard of a person surnamed Hao? The 'Four Tigers' under the command of the thief were all planted in his hands one after another! The 'Four Tigers' and others don't know each other, they are all well-known giant thieves, and our Zuo Town has suffered their losses in the past few years! All dead at the hands of one man! Scary or not, evil or not? You said, if it weren't for the fact that the surnamed Hao knew how to do sorcery, how could he do such an unthinkable thing. Let's not be careful and take precautions, you look at the city now, maybe you will be hooked by the demon in the blink of an eye, don't blame grandpa for not reminding you at that time! ”
Li Yuncheng was stunned when he heard this, how dare he disobey, when it was, a row of bows and crossbowmen along the battlements at the head of Dongcheng were tense, all holding their breath, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Zhao Ying's cavalry arrived in a hurry, and found that the soldiers on the left who were waiting at the head of the city did not look panicked, so he immediately arched his hand and said loudly: "General Zhao sincerely invites you, it is a matter of the safety of Gucheng, and your army must not delay." He shouted three times in a row, but the generals on the left side of the city were all dumb, and no one answered.
Zhou Fengwu watched the horse sneer and gallop away, and suddenly asked, "Where are Chen Hongfan's soldiers?" ”
Gao Jinku clapped his hands and said: "Damn, patronizing and drinking happily, I forgot about this stubble!" More than 2,000 people in the Changhong front camp were stationed outside the city, Gao and Zhou originally held Chen Hongfan hostage, thinking that they were enough to subdue him, but they didn't expect Zhao Dangshi to come suddenly.
Things did develop in the direction he feared, according to Feng Wen, as soon as the Zhao battalion soldiers arrived this morning, the entire Changhong front battalion quickly returned to the past, and there was no time to stop it, as if it was Zhao Ying's own soldiers.
"What is the relationship between Chen Hongfan and Zhao Dangshi? I didn't wear a pair of pants like this! Gao Jinku rebuked indignantly. Even within their Zuojia army, the grievances and hatreds between the battalions are also entangled, countless, Zhou Fengwu is a newcomer who has been newly promoted, and he has the intention to cling to his old qualifications to mix up the situation, and he wants to change to someone else's peers, if the relationship is not good, Gao Jinku said that he was afraid that his own people would fight first halfway.
Zhou Fengwu said: "The matter has come to this, and no matter how entangled it is, it will not help." The surname Zhao can control Chen Hongfan's soldiers, but we can control Chen Hongfan. Now go and bring Chen Hongfan, no matter how capable the surnamed Zhao is, he can't drive Chen Hongfan's soldiers to beat his own head! ”
Gao Jinku hurriedly agreed, and Feng Wen hurriedly went to the city to catch Chen Hongfan as a talisman. At this time, more than ten riders came from the direction of Zhaoying Huagai, stopped about 200 steps away from the city wall, and only one of them continued to reach the city.
"What are you doing again?" This time, Gao Jinku took the initiative to ask.
The knight of the Zhao camp shouted: "General Zhao guessed that your army had scruples, so he specially broke away from his own formation, chose a fair place, and talked with the tall and Zhou lords of your army. Your and our armies both serve the imperial court, and they should not be so vigilant. ”
Gao Jinku and Zhou Fengwu have done something bad in their hearts, where do they care what to see outside, they only said: "I replied to your General Zhao, I have no right to decide the military, everything needs to wait for Zuo Shuai to arrive before we can talk about it in detail." The two kicked the ball back and forth without any result, and finally simply kicked it up and passed it directly to Zuo Liangyu, who was nowhere to be seen.
When the knight of Zhao Ying heard this, he burst out laughing, and Gao Jinku didn't know what he meant, and asked loudly, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh at you for still being obsessed!" The knight of the Zhao camp said with a smile.
Zhou Fengwu said angrily: "The thief Hugh twists his tongue and has something to say!" ”
The knight of the Zhao camp took a moment to straighten out the mane of the war horse in front of him, but then said: "Don't hide it, your left handsome, I'm afraid it won't work!" ”
