Chapter 44: The Jade Man
Although Jian Shuo is also one of the ten permanent attendants, his painting style is completely different from that of other people in the ten permanent attendants. He is eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, strong in martial arts and good at leading soldiers, and the most amazing thing is that he actually has a three-inch long beard. is majestic and high-spirited, and he is exactly the appearance of a fierce general fighting on the battlefield.
Today's son Liu Hong trusted Jian Shuo very much, not only made him the captain of the military academy at the head of the eight captains of the West Garden, but also commanded the rest of the West Garden Army in addition to the army directly under his subordinates. Of course, this is only theoretical, not to mention that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others don't take him seriously at all, and even the generals under him have colluded with outsiders.
Waiting for Wang Yue and the others to leave in a huff, Jian Shuo said to Chen Cheng: "Follow me!" ”
After speaking, he led people straight back to the barracks. Unlike Chen Cheng's idea that the Xiyuan Army was He Jin's sphere of influence, the purpose of the Son of Heaven to set up the Xiyuan Army was to divide the military power in the hands of the general He Jin, and to use it to balance the Northern Army. But the idea is good, Jian Shuo can't suppress the arrogant generals under his command at all. Except for himself, most of the generals were in collusion with the general He Jin.
Therefore, when Chen Cheng was chased and killed by Yuan Shu's people today, he would stop him. There is really no one in his hand, so he picked up a green vegetable and pulled it to the plate.
The reputation of the eunuchs is too bad, and there are few of them who can handle it, and they are not of the same mind with each other. On the other hand, on the side of the great general He Jin, there are countless civil ministers and military generals surrounding the general.
When he arrived at the barracks, Jian Shuo said to Chen Cheng: "Boy, don't say that I won't give you a chance, you can do whatever you can." If you really have strong martial arts, high-ranking officials will have them. If it's a coward, hey ........"
He didn't continue, but sneered.
Chen Chengjian raised his eyebrows obliquely, put aside all the calculations in his heart, he jumped off the horse, and said, "Bring a bow and arrow." ”
Jian Shuo said: "Give it to him!" ”
A soldier handed the bow and arrow, Chen Cheng took it and pulled it, and said, "It's too soft, is there anything harder?" ”
After changing several times in a row, he still said; "Too soft!"
The soldier looked at Jian Shuo in embarrassment and said, "Captain? ”
Jian Shuo saw that Chen Cheng effortlessly pulled the three-stone strong bow to fullness, his face was slightly pale, he thought for a while, and said, "Bring that sunset bow." ”
The soldier took the order, and in a short time took a piece of work that looked violent. This "sunset bow" is more than a third longer than a normal bow, and the arms of the bow at both ends are carefully tied with hemp rope. After Chen Cheng got his hands, he tried it, and it took fifty or sixty percent of his strength to pull it to half full, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and he used enough strength in his hand to pull it away, and he slowly removed the strength on his hand, so as not to hurt the bowstring, and then exclaimed: "What a hard bow!" ”
He was only a little surprised in his heart, Jian Shuo's surprise would only be several times stronger than him, the "Sunset Bow" was the strongest and hardest bow in the arsenal, Rao was his strength, and he had to be lucky for half a day on weekdays to be able to fill it once. Where did you think that someone could pull away casually?
You must know that the officers and men in the army, apart from him, let alone full, even if they can be pulled into half full, there are not many of them.
A smile appeared on Jian Shuo's face, and he said, "What a lot of strength! ”
He pointed to the arrow target on the school field, his tone was much better, and said, "Let's see if I can shoot it." ”
Chen Cheng took his bow and arrows, and according to the usual shooting method, he placed the closed crosshair at the height of a finger on the arrow target, thought about it, lowered the height by half a finger, and then released his right hand.
"Smack!"
The arrow shot out and stuck above the target. He originally planned that this arrow would hit the bull's-eye, but he didn't expect that the power of the "Sunset Bow" was a few points stronger than he estimated, and the arrow was still some distance from the bull's-eye. After Chen Cheng shot an arrow, he corrected the trajectory, and the next few arrows hit the bull's-eye.
When he picked up the last arrow in the arrow box, a big hole had been broken in the center of the arrow target, he opened the "Sunset Bow", aimed it, and then put it down again, and said, "Captain, don't shoot this last arrow." ”
"Hahaha," Jian Shuo smiled from ear to ear, and he said loudly, "Of course! ”
Jian Shuo let out the same emotion as Tian Yu: Who would have thought that he could pick up a world-class marksman on the road casually? Twenty ..... in a row Nineteen arrows, who else in the world can do it? Destiny is mine!
He stepped forward, took Chen Cheng's hand, and said affectionately: "In my opinion, even if Li Guang is resurrected, he can't do better!" Jian Shuo said: "I must recommend you to Your Majesty!" By the way, what's your name? ”
Well, I didn't even know other people's names for a long time. Chen Cheng moved his fingers and said, "My name is Chen Cheng, and my words are correct." ”
"Chen Cheng Chen Wenzheng?" Jian Shuo pondered for a while, turned his head, and asked Jun Sima Pan Yin, "Why does this name sound familiar?" Have you read it in a recent military newspaper? ”
Pan Yin lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Liaodong Taishou's recital." ”
"Oh!" Jian Shuo slapped his thigh and said, "It turned out to be you!" No wonder God is so brave! I used to read the official document sent by Gongsun Chan to the imperial court, and I thought it was fake. Now it seems that only a warrior like Wen Zheng can make such a miraculous feat! ”
He said to Chen Cheng: "You were a ........ before"
"Riding Lieutenant."
"Then go to me first to be a military marquis," Jian Shuo said: "When you make war achievements, I will give you the title of marquis tomorrow!" ”
He laughed for a while, and said to the left and right: "Come, meet Chen Junhou!" ”
Hundreds of people came around, leaned down, and said in unison: "See Chen Junhou!" ”
Jian Shuo took Chen Cheng's hand and said, "You go to bathe and change clothes first, and I'll pick up the wind and wash the dust for you later!" ”
Being held by a bearded eunuch, Chen Cheng felt a little tired in his heart. People are so enthusiastic, and they still think about jumping back, isn't it a bit too much? Although he also knows that "if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something", he has always been a reasonable person, and if others respect him, he will return the favor.
The West Garden Army was stationed in the West Garden of Luoyang, so it was called the West Garden Army. There is a place for washing in the West Garden, Chen Cheng was taken to the house, and someone had already prepared a large bucket of hot water for him. Reach out and touch it, the temperature is just right. He didn't have a chance to travel before, but now that he can take a bath, he suddenly feels itchy on his body.
You know, he can bathe six times a day, and it's not too much to say that he has a slight cleanliness fetish, even if he has always denied it. The barracks were full of men, and there was no need to hide anything, so he stripped clean and slippery, and jumped into the barrel. Of course, even if there is a woman, he doesn't mind. I took out the shampoo and soap again, and took a hot bath happily.
While taking a bath, a few sergeants asked outside the door, "Marquis, do you still need hot water?" ”
"Yes!"
Two soldiers came in carrying the barrel, cooled the boiling water a bit, and then carefully poured it into the large barrel. He asked for hot water several times, and the temperature of the water in the wooden barrel rose to more than 60 degrees.
As soon as he came out of the barrel after washing, soldiers came in with clothes and trousers made of silk.
"This is for me?"
The soldier smiled and said, "The captain of the military colonel has instructed that the best clothes must be prepared for the military marquis." This kind of silk is the same as that used by the harem concubines. ”
Chen Cheng didn't care about being looked at, so he generously wiped the water droplets on his body with a cloth and said, "Take it!" ”
The soldiers glanced down at him a few times, secretly admired in their hearts, and put on him in gorgeous clothes. Chen Cheng was a man who could squat on the ground and nibble on steamed buns, and he could also pick up a knife and fork and eat steak elegantly, so he stood there and asked three or five stout soldiers to dress him and tie his belt.
The outfit sent by Jian Shuo is extremely gorgeous and complicated, and without help, it is really difficult for one person to put it on. After changing his boots and fixing his much longer hair with a hosta on his head, a beautiful son appeared in front of several soldiers.
"This ........"
After a few soldiers were busy for a while, when they saw Chen Cheng wearing a gorgeous costume and his skin was smooth and white like jade, they couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Junhou appearance, it's really ......."
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "What is it really?" ”
A soldier was quick to speak, and said, "It's really better than the lady in the palace!" ”
"Haha!" Chen Cheng smiled: "Have you seen the lady in the palace? ”
The soldier said embarrassedly: "I've seen it once from afar." ”
Two more soldiers walked in from outside, presented the wooden plates they were holding in their hands, and said, "These are the ones that the marshal gave to the marquis for his daily use." ”
Chen Cheng uncovered the red silk on the wooden plate, and on one plate there were yellow gold bars, and on the other plate, there were many copper coins. He smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "Jian Shuo's capital is a bit big, and it is to give clothes and gold." ”
Grabbing a handful of copper coins casually, Chen Cheng stuffed them into the arms of the soldiers around him, everyone had a share, and none of them were disappointed, and said, "Take it and drink." ”
The soldiers' mouths couldn't close with a smile, and they said in a loud voice: "Thank you for the reward." ”
Chen Cheng smiled slightly, and he had the charm of captivating the country and the city, which dazzled several soldiers. But maybe it's because he has been crossed with a layer of gold color, and he has money and power, so won't the charm value go up gradually?
"Junhou here, please!"
Jian Shuo was still dressed in a fiery red robe, as if he was dressed as a martial artist to show his manhood. He had already set up a banquet in the hall, and when he saw Chen Cheng washing the dust off his body, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"You..... You ........."
Chen Cheng saluted and said, "Chen Cheng pays a visit to the captain." ”
"Why are you like this?" Jian Shuo blurted out, and then felt that it was inappropriate, and snorted, "Chen Junhou, please take a seat." ”
There were also many generals under Jian Shuo's command in the banquet, and they were all surprised when they saw Chen Cheng's appearance. Jian Shuo suppressed the surprise in his heart and frequently persuaded him to drink. He is the most trusted servant of the Son of Heaven...... One of them was the only one who was released to take charge of the army, and he handed it over like this, not only did Chen Cheng feel that something was wrong, but other generals could also see it. They were not stupid, they looked at each other during the banquet, and they all speculated in their hearts.
Chen Cheng calmed down, eating meat and drinking wine. Some generals were still a little resentful that he became a military marquis as soon as he came, thinking that it would definitely not be okay for the little white face to drink, so they came up to pour wine with bad intentions, but they were put down several times one after another. Later, Chen Cheng got up and saluted one by one, and drunk all the generals and schools present.
Even Jian Shuo couldn't escape, and he was very drunk.
