Chapter 37: Writ of Formation (I)

When Dou Gu did not move, Geng Gong led Fan Qiang, Wu Meng, Li Kang and others to train the troops day and night, rehearse the formation, and the strength of the troops increased. After Li Dang and Nadu fought a battle, he was ashamed and brave, he went to the mountains to pick up boulders, made stone locks, stone burdens, stone mills, stone locks, stone burdens each weighed 500 catties, stone mills weighed up to 1,000 catties, every day to lift stone locks, dance stone burdens, pull stone mills, at first very laborious, tired and exhausted, the skin of the hands and blood, took off a layer, and later grew a new skin. In this way, it grows and grows, and grinds into a thick layer of cocoons. Later, his strength increased, and he played with stone locks, stone burdens, etc., without much effort, and his swarthy muscles were as solid as iron. Li Kang found a famous local caster, found a piece of dark iron, and cast two sabers, each weighing one hundred and twenty pounds, extremely sharp, pestering Geng Gong every day to sharpen the knife, unconsciously, the force of the great advance. Li Dang repeatedly wanted to break into the Chinese army alone and find Dou Gu's theory, why not march, but was stopped by Geng Gong and was angry.

On this day, the envoy of the court issued an edict and ordered Dou Gu to return to the army. Geng Gong suffered from a cold while practicing a few days ago and was recuperating in bed. Fan Qiang and Li Dang led the troops to train, and suddenly heard the news of the retreat, Li Dang was furious, left the soldiers, and ran out like a gust of wind. Fan Qiang was puzzled and shouted, "Li Kang, where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to find Dou Gu, why should I withdraw from the army when I have such a good opportunity? He doesn't want to serve his country, and I want to avenge my family! Besides, Brother Geng has made such a great contribution, but he has only been a small school captain, hmph, it must be the ghost made by the white beard, I will teach him a good lesson, and pull off his beard from the roots! ”

Fan Qiang was anxious, he knew that Li Kangtian was not afraid of the ground, but only Geng Gong. If he goes, he will definitely cause trouble, so he rushed forward and grabbed Li Kang's sleeve. Li Dang's face was flushed, and he said, "Fan Qiang, what are you doing here!" Let go! ”

"No, you can't be so impulsive!"

"If you don't let it go, you're welcome!" Li Dang shook his hand, Fan Qiang staggered a few steps, and almost fell, knowing that Li Dang was strong, he was in a hurry, and he hurriedly hugged Li Kang's waist tightly. Now Li Dang had no choice, he was so anxious that his three corpses jumped violently, smoke grew in the seven orifices, and he was in a hurry, Li Dang pointed his hand and said, "Hey, why is Brother Geng here?" Fan Qiang turned around, but didn't see it, and asked, "Where is Brother Geng?" After a little distraction, Li Kang had already broken away, flew on the horse, rode the horse and ran away, and disappeared in an instant. Fan Qiang hurriedly ran back to tell Geng Gong.

When Li Dang arrived at the Chinese army, he saw that the soldiers were packing up their belongings, in a hurry, lax in discipline, and uninterested in military affairs, he couldn't help but be indignant, and rode straight to the side of Dou Gu's army tent, and broke in angrily. Dou Gu and Liu Zhang were entertaining the envoys, pushing the cups and changing the lamps, drinking happily, and suddenly saw a big man with a black face and a beard, breaking in with anger on his face, the envoy was startled, he couldn't even hold the wine glass, fell to the ground, grabbed Dou Gu, and said in a trembling voice: "Thorn, assassin, there are assassins......

Dou Gu was also startled, looking at it, he only felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, he was a military general after all, his face sank, and he said, "Who are you?" Dare to break into the Chinese army's big tent! Li Dare took a step forward and sneered repeatedly: "Hmph, it's strange that I have to be willing to march, I am served with good wine and meat every day, and I am comfortable, but I want to kill the enemy and fight regardless of the brothers Shunhua!" Dou Gu was drunk to the end, slightly drunk, and when he heard this, he was so angry that he shouted: "It's the other way around, come on, take down this madman!" "Four pro-soldiers came in, like tigers and wolves, and came to arrest Li Kang, Li Dang didn't eat this set, three punches and two legs, and knocked over two people.

Dou Gu was furious, pulled out his sword, and wanted to come down to cut Li Kang, but the envoy stopped him: "General Dou is slow, I see that this person is eight feet long, his arms seem to have the strength of a thousand catties, and he is also a good man. Dou Gu had to take care of the whole court's face, put his sword back into the sheath, hateful, and asked, "Who are you?" Come on. Li Dang's eyes widened: "Lao Tzu Xing doesn't change his name, and he doesn't change his surname, it's Li Dang under Geng Sima's account!" ”

"Oh, you are the army that pretended to be a ghost and god when you were besieging the Huns?"

"That's right, it's me!"

In that war, Li Dang was brave and abnormal, rushed to kill the enemy's formation, and made ten decisions, which left a deep impression on Dou Gu, and also knew that Li Dang had an upright temperament, and couldn't help but love talents, and was already forgiving, and said: "Okay, I, Dou Gu, dominate the world, and there are few people who dare to make trouble in my tent, and I admire you for your courage!" Dare to drink? Wine is Li Dang's beloved thing, since the Western Expedition, he has not touched a drop of wine, when he entered the account, he smelled the wine, his throat has long been itchy, of course Li Dang will not refuse, happy said: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of drinking!" He stepped forward, took a jug of wine, and drank it up! When Dou Gu and the others saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked, and they all thought: "This person has a good amount of wine, and this pot of wine is no less than ten catties!" ”

Liu Zhang smiled coldly, leaned over, and whispered in Dou Gu's ear. Dou Gu nodded repeatedly. It turned out that when Li dared to enter the account, Liu Zhang had already recognized it, he didn't say a word, stayed on the sidelines and watched coldly, and secretly plotted in his heart.

"Li Kang, although you are a good man, you also have military exploits. However, the state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, so if you are in the army, you break into the military tent privately, and if you don't listen to the military order, you should be beheaded according to the law! Do you have any objections? Dou Gu's face suddenly changed, and he said slowly. Li Dang was furious, threw the wine jug to the ground, and roared: "Whitebeard old ghost, you must have said some again!" Hmph, you goblin, there are people like you in the army, how can this battle be fought! Blame me for being blind in the first place, why did I join the army? When Lao Tzu was in the chaotic hills, how happy, if he wanted to set fire, he would set fire, and if he wanted to kill, he would kill people, who dared to say half a word to Lao Tzu! ”

"Shut up! Li Kang, you are a bandit in Beijing, you should have been killed a long time ago! It's really easy to change, but it's hard to change! General Dou is magnanimous, let you join the army, give you the opportunity to make up for your mistakes and turn back, how do you know that you are obsessed and difficult to change! Hmph, that's pathetic! Liu Zhang said sharply. Li Dang's eyes widened, and he said: "Brother Geng has made such a great contribution, but he has only been named a small captain, hum, General Dou, if you do this, who will help you fight in the future?" You say, is it the ghost of the white-bearded old man? ”

Geng Gonggong's high reward was not rewarded, Dou Gu has always been worried, and now when he heard Li Dang publicly put it forward, he felt weak, and said angrily: "The matter of rewarding is decided by the emperor, how can a puppet like you dictate and cut it out!" "More than 20 tiger-wolf-like soldiers poured in, and even if Li Dang had the ability to turn the sky upside down, he couldn't do anything about it. Li Dang was overturned to the ground, tied up tightly, and carried out.

Dou Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Seeing the smile, please have a glass of wine with the envoy, suppress the shock, and see how I cut this bastard!" The envoy didn't expect it to be like this, and his face was as frightened as dirt, and he said: "This, this, is this really going to be killed?" Dou Gu smiled strangely, took the envoy's hand, got up and walked out. I saw Li Dang being pressed and kneeling on the court, his hair was scattered, shouting and scolding endlessly, and an executioner with a big waist and a round waist was holding a steel knife in his arms, waiting for orders.
