Expedition Chapter 168 General Lian Po is coming
Now the city defense of the lower capital is the bandit army, and the city guards at the city gate are still Huang Chengzhong's city guards, after all, it is the lower capital, for the people of the lower capital who come and go, these city guards know better whether it is the people of the lower capital or not, so as to prevent the Yan army scouts from entering the city as much as possible, of course, how much can the effect be, it is much stronger than the bandit army that no one recognizes!
These city guards were all out of battle but were only slightly wounded, and after a few days of recuperation, they were alive and kicking again, and the lower capital city, which lacked manpower, was naturally going to squeeze their labor force.
As soon as a small officer guarding the city gate saw a fast horse rushing towards him, he immediately hurriedly said, "There is a situation, everyone be on guard." ”
When five or six soldiers heard this, they immediately picked up their weapons and were nervously on guard. They can't be blamed for making a fuss, after all, the lower capital city has just experienced a big battle, their brothers are almost dead, and there are only fifty city guards left in the thousand-person city guards, and the bandit army that helped also lost more than 100 people, the worst is the people of the lower capital, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded. Although the other party only has one person and one horse now, he has seen the skills of the bandit army, especially the captain of the Mo battalion whom they all admire, as well as his soldiers, it is really brave! It is not a problem for one person to fight a dozen at all, although it is unlikely that one person and one horse from far and near will be as powerful as the bandit army, but it is not difficult to defeat a few of them, and who knows if there will be someone in ambush, this person and horse are just a bait for them to relax their vigilance.
But when the man approached, these soldiers found that this person was actually wearing their Zhao Jun's uniform, but even so, they did not relax their vigilance, but blocked the horse barrier in front of them, and watched the people more vigilantly, after all, they had just done it not long before they pretended to be the enemy, and they also beat the Yan army, they couldn't also fall into this routine.
The fast horse was galloping to the city gate, but was immediately blocked by the rejection fence, and could not help but hold the horse rope.
The horse neighed, and its front feet were raised high, and then it was heard, and the knight on the horse actually sat firmly on the horse, and was not thrown off, nor did he show a trace of panic, which shows that the knight who came was very skilled.
"Who's coming?" The petty officer shouted angrily at the knight on the horse, and drew his long sword, and was on guard, as did the other five soldiers, and as long as the fellow on horseback could not answer, they immediately rushed up with their knives, and beckoned to the fellow, so that the fellow could be handsome in front of them.
"I am General Lian Po's herald, and I am here to convey General Lian Po's military orders." The knight said in a loud voice, not at all intent on dismounting.
General Lian Po? Could it be that reinforcements have arrived? The soldiers were overjoyed in their hearts, of course General Lian Po knew who it was, but it was a powerful Zhao country, and the famous generals of Zhao State did not know how they did not know as soldiers of Zhao State. Now that General Lian Po's herald is here, is it that reinforcements are coming, then they don't have to worry about living, after all, the four cities around them are still in the hands of the Yan army! There are not a few people on their side, and they are really uneasy, but even so, they still haven't completely let down their guard.
The little officer clasped his fists and said in a soothing tone: "It turned out that General Lian Po waved it down, brother is sorry, but I don't know if my brother has an official document?" ”
The knight still did not dismount, but he took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his bosom.
The little officer motioned with his eyes to a soldier to come forward and take it, and he was still wary of whether the knight would suddenly attack, but he quickly gave a sigh of relief, and the knight did not attack, and the soldier quickly took the bamboo slip.
The little officer opened the bamboo slip and took a look, only to see the dense text on it, the little officer felt dazzled, what kind of official document did he know there! He doesn't even know a word, he can be a petty officer, it's entirely because of the battle that didn't take long before the officers died, and he made a contribution to become this petty officer, he learned these words from the head he used to take, but he didn't know how to read, and he had to pretend! If the other party is fake, at least you can scare and scare, maybe you will show flaws!
A soldier next to him approached him and whispered, "Head, you took it upside down." ”
The little officer glared at the soldier and scolded secretly: "I don't have eyesight, what does it matter if I take the opposite, he can't understand it, and the person doesn't know if he has taken it or not!" ”
The little officer looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, nodded and said, "Well, that's right." ”
The junior officer closed the bamboo slip, waved his big hand, and said, "Let me go." ”
Several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to move the barrage to the side of the road, making way for an avenue. The knight put away the bamboo slip and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed again and galloped into the city.
Looking at the back of the distant knight, the little officer was overjoyed, and the reinforcements were finally coming.
The other soldiers immediately surrounded them, their faces full of admiration, and asked, "Head, when did you know how to read?" So powerful? ”
Although this era is the Warring States, but for literacy, it is also very admirable, in the eyes of the soldiers, those who can read and write are all great people, all of them are children of the nobility.
The little officer was praised for a while, and he was very proud in his heart, his chin was slightly raised, and he couldn't help but start blowing, and said: "Look at you like that, what is literate, do I know how to read and tell you?" Tell you, in fact, I have always known words, if it weren't for your head I joined the army with the heart of protecting the family and defending the country, maybe I would have become a civil official on the governance side like Lord Zhou, the reason why you didn't know it before, it was that I was low-key, low-key, do you understand? ”
"I tell you! I think I ...... back then. The petty officer became more and more energetic, and as he spoke, even he felt that he was such a person.
"The head deserves to be the head! It's really not revealing the landscape! What a real admiration for us! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the head is not ordinary, in order to protect the family and defend the country, give up so big, let us admire the five-body throw!"
The petty officer enjoyed the praise of his men very much, and accepted it very unceremoniously, and was in a good mood to hear him.
"But head, didn't you just take all the bamboo slips upside down?" The soldier who reminded him was puzzled.
The little officer's eyes widened, but he still stubbornly said: "What do you know, I am very knowledgeable, I can read words in reverse, and I can see that you understand!" You know how much knowledge it takes to do this, even Mr. Li in our lower capital can't do my step. ”
Mr. Li, the teacher of the lower capital, is deeply supported by the people of the lower capital, after all, the word "sir" is not something that ordinary people can be.
"That's it, that's it, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, how can the head not know to take it back, the head is backwards." A soldier squeezed through the previous soldier.
"Oh, I see, what a powerful head!" The soldier suddenly realized that his head was so powerful, and he had never found it!
"Over there, what's written on that bamboo slip?" The soldier asked curiously.
Several other soldiers were also full of curiosity, although they had always heard of official documents, but in the past, they were all written by the commander after reading them, and they didn't know what was written in the official documents.
The little officer was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded this blind guy, he couldn't even read the words, he knew what was written on it, but the cowhide had been blown out, and he couldn't say he didn't know!
"This official document! This official document reads, and it reads...... "The little officer's eyes were purring, and he wanted to make up a set of words, but he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't have any foundation, so he thought about it there!"
Several soldiers looked at their heads with admiration on their faces, but saw that his mouth was full of this, this, but there were no other words, just when they showed doubts, the little officer's face was horizontal, and he said with a serious face: "This official document is a state secret, and the things written on it cannot be inquired about casually, let alone said casually, I won't tell you, it's for your good, I want to know, and I have to wait until you are like me." ”
Those soldiers suddenly realized that they were so concerned about them! They were really touched by the fact that they believed in their own words, after all, their head was a literate person.
When the junior officer saw the eyes of these soldiers, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "It's finally fooled." He swore that in the future, this kind of would never be blown again, and there was no way to lie! But he soon found a different gaze, he saw which soldier had been asking his own questions, he was still puzzled, and saw that the mouth was still moving, as if he wanted to ask something, the little officer secretly said that it was not good, if he let this kid ask again, then he would be ironclad and said: "Mouse, you go quickly, follow which cavalry to see, if there is anything abnormal, come and report." ”
"Head, don't people have official documents? Why are you still keeping up? The rat was puzzled, and the rat was the soldier with many questions.
The little officer stepped forward and knocked on the rat's head, and said with an unfathomable face: "The heart of defense is indispensable, who knows if the official document was robbed, if it is Yan Jun who wants to make trouble, then you have made a great contribution, go quickly." ”
When the mouse heard this, he immediately said with a serious face: "Okay, head, I understand, I'll go immediately." After saying that, he quickly galloped and chased in the direction where the cavalry had disappeared.
Watching the mouse leave, the little officer was really relieved, and happily accepted the worship of the others.
The cavalry came and went quickly, and he handed over the letter to Huang Chengzhong and left, leaving the mouse hiding in the shadows with a dejected face.
In the county governor's mansion, Huang Chengzhong laughed and kept cheering: "Good, good, good, it's really good." ”
The soldiers standing on the side were those soldiers who were lightly injured, and now they were fine, so they also came to the county governor's mansion to guard, and several people looked at each other at the laughing adults, and secretly guessed in their hearts, what good news did the cavalry bring to make the adults happy, you must know that since the Yan army came to the lower capital to attack the city, their adults have not shown a smile, especially after nearly a thousand brothers died on the battlefield, they were even more lonely, and they laughed like this time.
"Good~"
Huang Chengzhong slapped the table, and said with a happy face: "Go and invite the captain of the Zhou County Order and the first battalion of the Bandit Army to come, that is, there is a big matter to discuss, go quickly." ”
Several guards left and rushed out of the lower capital with their fists clenched, and as soon as they got out of the gate, several people discussed, and then ran in different directions, informing the county lieutenant of the people named as fast as they could.
Soon, Zhou Ru and the captain of the first battalion of the bandit army received Huang Chengzhong's invitation, and immediately rushed to the county governor's mansion with doubts.
The first one to come was Mo Chen, because this guy was nesting in the county governor's mansion, and Huang Chengzhong's baby daughter, Huang Qiuping's tryst, in broad daylight, Huang Chengzhong didn't go to peek, after all, he didn't believe it in broad daylight, Mo Chen dared to bully his baby daughter.
After waiting for all the people to arrive, Huang Chengzhong said excitedly: "Everyone, great news! Today, the arrival of General Lian Po's herald gives us great news, which is really gratifying! Do you know that when I found out the news, I was so excited! I can't wait to drink it. ”
"Lao Huang! Don't talk about this uselessness, tell me what is going on! But I'm in a hurry, is General Lian Po coming to support us? Say it quickly! I have a lot of work to attend to! Zhou Ru saw where Huang Chengzhong was chirping for a long time and didn't say what was going on, so he couldn't help interrupting Huang Chengzhong's words, he was also worried that Huang Chengzhong would not finish talking, he didn't have so much time, and the affairs of the capital city made him busy with a lot of anxiety.
When Mo Chen heard the word Lian Po, he was shocked, although he didn't know much about history, but when he was studying, there was a text that was still fresh in his memory! And there is also a word, which is widely circulated, that is, the crime of Jing Plea, which is General Lian Po, who is praised as one of the famous generals of the four wars, and Bai Qi of Qin, Wang Qian, and Li Mu, who is also of Zhao State, Li Mu is good at attacking, Lian Po is good at defending, this attack and defense, becoming the pillar of the two great powers of Zhao State, let Mo Chen is admiration.
Of course, Mo Chen also deeply sympathized with Zhou Ru's words, his future father-in-law was too nagging, and said, "Yes! Uncle Huang, what's the matter that called us all here? We still have a lot of work to do! ”
After Mo Chen finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, looked around, and found that everyone else was looking at him, Mo Chen was a little confused: "What's wrong?" Am I saying the wrong thing? Why are you all looking at me with such strange eyes? ”
Jiang Feng, Meng Gong and the bandit army looked at Mo Chen with contempt, and said secretly in their hearts: "What can you do with this guy, you know how to hook up with a girl all day long, and now you won't even go back to the camp." ”
Huang Chengzhong looked like he ate a fly, this guy relied on him all day long, didn't eat, drink, or talk, and beat his baby daughter's idea, what could he do. But no matter how Mo Chen says it, he is also the one who has a great kindness to him! In addition, his baby daughter also likes it, and he thinks it is good, considering all aspects of reason, he is still very satisfied with this future son-in-law, but he can't be so shameless to say that he is busy! If no one else knows!
Huang Chengzhong is also a figure who is crawling and rolling, and soon recovered as before, and said with a smile: "Hehe, yes, yes, it is Huang who has said a lot, today General Lian Po sent an order to the soldiers, bringing a major news, that is, some time ago, General Lian Po led 100,000 soldiers and horses, and fought a decisive battle against the Yan army in Song Zicheng, General Lian Po killed Yan Xiangli's belly, captured Yan General Qing Qin, and killed tens of thousands of enemies. ”
