Chapter 77: Guangling Eight Horsemen
"Don't worry, as long as you take this medicine to Xuanwu to drink, you will be able to wake up in less than a day, even if it is an attack by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I believe that according to Xuanwu's ingenuity, there is a way to deal with it, if it really doesn't work, I will kill him in the Northern Zhou camp and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Dugu said proudly.
Gong Banxian felt a little sad, how could such a respected old-timer still bear to let him charge into battle? "Senior, please rest assured, I believe that Guangling will be fine. Here I thank the second elder for the thousands of troops and horses in Guangling, and the tens of thousands of people in Guangling. After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and the kowtow was bleeding.
Qiu Yidao hurriedly walked over and helped Gong Banxian up and said, "Military advisor, don't do it." We believe that you will be fine in Guangling, hurry up and take it, now there is no room for delay. As he spoke, he handed the corn pearl paste to Gong Banxian.
Gong Banxian took the ointment, looked at this small bottle of plaster, and felt very heavy in his heart. He looked at the small medicine bottle and said, "Thank you two seniors!" After saying that, he turned around and left, Dugu Ao hurriedly said: "Strategist, no matter what happens, you have to trust the brothers around you." They are not trying to escape at the moment, but to better solve the predicament of Guangling, you have to believe them, one day these people will definitely come back with the news of victory. ”
Gong Banxian suddenly realized and left the Wutong Forest with a smile.
Zhao Huanong finished inspecting the various military camps before stepping into his tent, the guards Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu came over and took the robe, and the other took the sword, Xiao Wu took the robe and said: "General, the meal has been hot three times, you should eat it quickly, so as not to get cold again for a while." ”
Zhao Huanong finished washing, picked up the food and ate it in a big gulp, it seemed that he hadn't eaten for several days, Zhao Huanong devoured it for a while, looked up and found that Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were still looking at it stupidly on the side, Zhao Huanong said: "Do you have anything to do?" ”
Xiao Wu said: "It's not a big deal, but it's a little small." ”
Zhao Huanong said while eating: "You two sit down, what's the matter, talk slowly." ”
Xiao Liu said: "General, in fact, it's not a big deal, my brother thinks it's rare to see you rest during the day on weekdays, and it's rare for us to chat with you, we are very curious about many things, I see you free during the day today, so I ......" Xiao Liu didn't finish laughing himself, but his smile was a little restrained.
Zhao Huanong said: "Little five and six, you have been with me Zhao Huanong for two or three years, why are you still so restrained in front of me?" What do you think is the style of our Guangling Army? That is, to be unambiguous in the face of big things, not to follow the rules in front of small things, to talk about things, and to be afraid of something. ”
Zhao Huanong put down the bowl after eating and said, "Okay, I'll tell you today, what do you want to know?" ”
Xiao Liu touched his head and said, "Hehe, although the brothers have heard of the Guangling Eight Horsemen for a long time, we don't know which Eight Horsemen are until today. ”
Zhao Huanong stood up and walked to the desk, looked back at Xiao Wu Xiaoliu again, and said: "That's a good question, I have to tell you about it, although everyone has heard of Guangling Eight Horses, but no one knows who they are, so okay, I'll tell you two about it today." ”
Suddenly, a soldier fell in at the door of the tent and hurriedly said, "General Xiaocai, forgive me, it was the people behind who pushed me." ”
Zhao Huanong said: "Let me come in from outside." ”
Suddenly, more than 20 people came in from outside, and Qi Shushu stood in Zhao Huanong's tent.
Zhao Huanong smiled and said, "You also want to hear it?" ”
Everyone nodded.
Zhao Huanong said: "Okay, let's spread out the straw mat, and I'll tell you about it." ”
A few people spread out a large straw mat large enough to sit thirty people, Zhao Huanong sat in the middle, and everyone gathered around Zhao Huanong.
Zhao Huanong said: "In fact, everyone has heard of the Guangling Eight Horsemen for a long time, but which ones? Maybe no one knows, especially those of you who joined the army later. Among the eight cavalry, there are military division Gong Banxian, left general Yang Guangxin, right general Huo Budu, hussar general Tian Shuibo, and weicai general Miao Xie Yu and me. ”
Xiao Liu hurriedly asked, "It turns out that these generals are them?" That's not right, or six, or two? ”
Zhao Huanong said: "In fact, the previous eight horsemen also had the dragon cavalry general Chen Shuyue, and the phoenix cavalry general Shuhua Princess, commonly known as the Guangling Eight Horsemen, but there is another person here, the ghost cavalry general Longxing." ”
Xiao Wu said: "It turns out that the prince is also a member of the Eight Horsemen? But this ghost rider general hadn't heard of it. ”
Zhao Huanong nodded and said, "This person will talk about it later, in a big battle with the Northern Qi Dynasty, Princess Shuhua, the general of the Fengcai, besieged the enemy army, and later let the enemy army kill her." In order to save Princess Shuhua, the ghost cavalry general has not been heard from since. After that, the emperor was furious, revoked the title of the prince dragoon general, and disbanded the Guangling Eight Cavalry, so there was no longer the so-called Guangling Eight Cavalry, and the emperor did not allow anyone to talk about the Guangling Eight Cavalry. ”
Everyone suddenly looked sad, and Zhao Huanong said again: "In the past, the Guangling Eight Cavalry were under the orders of the imperial court, but the current Guangling Eight Cavalry only obeyed the orders of the prince, except for the six of us, now Zhao Chun, the great doctor of the gods, and Cao Fan, the general of the Guan Cavalry, are also counted among the eight cavalry." ”
Xiao Wu said: "I see? I didn't expect Princess Shuhua to leave like this, it's really a pity. ”
Xiaoliu also said: "Yes, women heroes! ”
Zhao Huanong also seemed to remember the previous things, and said: "Indeed, Princess Shuhua is strong in martial arts, and she is the prince's favorite sister, so the prince is heartbroken, and after that, the Guangling Eight Horsemen did not dare to talk about it in front of the prince, Princess Shuhua rushed to the front every time, so that time the lone army went deep and fell into an ambush, and when we arrived, Princess Shuhua had already been hit by several arrows and her liver was cracked." When Zhao Huanong said this, his hands were clenched, and it was extremely painful, and the soldiers around him also gritted their teeth.
Everyone was silent for a long time, as if they were mourning the dead Princess Shuhua.
Zhao Huanong opened his mouth and said: "Brothers, we want to make the prince live better, because Shuhua also loved the prince the most during his lifetime, and the Guangling Army can be inseparable from Princess Shuhua today, it is she who tried her best to obtain the emperor's consent, and the Guangling Army has its own camp, so that the court did not exterminate us, and only now you have everything, so we swear to defend Guangling and guard the body of Princess Shuhua." Everyone shouted: "Swear to guard, swear to guard!" ”
The shouts rushed out of the tent and reached the ears of every soldier, and everyone shouted in unison: "Swear to guard, swear to guard, swear to guard!" The shout was deafening, resounding through the valley, resounding through the school field, floating in the sky above Guangling, and spreading into the homes of the people in the mountains of Guangling.
As soon as Gong Banxian walked into the barracks, he heard the deafening shouts in Zhao Huanong's tent, and even the soldiers standing guard were shouting: Swear to guard, swear to guard! Gong Banxian didn't understand what was going on here, and hurriedly walked towards Zhao Huanong's tent.
Gong Banxian lifted the curtain and saw that the small tent was crowded with dozens of people. Everyone sat on the ground, hugging each other, Zhao Huanong sat in the front, and the five and six children sat in the back in turn. Gong Banxian was even more puzzled, he didn't understand what was going on here, and hurriedly said, "General Zhao, why are you waiting?" As he spoke, he pointed to the soldiers sitting on the ground.
Zhao Huanong hurriedly stood up when he heard the voice, and said: "Military advisor, I am telling you about the Guangling Eight Cavalry, and a certain general feels that such things should be shared with everyone, otherwise, no one will know these histories in a few years." At that time, no one will know about Guangling, so a certain general will dare to call the shots without authorization and tell everyone about the past of the eight horsemen of Guangling. Zhao Huanong has understood that he has made a mistake, and this mistake is worth it in Zhao Huanong's view, because these histories need to be remembered by future generations.
Gong Banxian patted Zhao Huanong on the shoulder and said: "General Zhao, the Guangling Eight Cavalry is the pride of our Guangling, and it should be known to these young people, you have done a good job, really, I am very moved after hearing it!" For many years, these things have been lingering in my heart, and many times I have often thought about these things, in fact, these things need to be remembered by history, what do you say? ”
Zhao Huanong didn't expect Gong Banxian to say such a thing, and immediately nodded, "Strategist, I have always had such a mood, I feel extremely honored as one of the eight cavalry of Guangling!" ”
Gong Banxian nodded and wiped the tears that flowed down with his hands.
"Little five and six, you continue to tell the big guy about the previous history! Brothers, just listen with peace of mind. After Gong Banxian finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Huanong, and then walked out of the tent.
Zhao Huanong immediately understood what Gong Banxian meant, "The military advisor walks slowly, I'll send you." After finishing speaking, he followed behind Gong Banxian.
The night was quiet, and the bonfire in the distance was burning brightly, staining half the sky red.
Zhao Huanong said: "Strategist, there must be something important to discuss with me, right?" ”
Gong Banxian hurriedly said, "General Zhao is really smart! Yes, these matters are very important, so please come with me to the king's tent as soon as possible. After speaking, the two of them walked towards Chen Shuyue's tent.
Shuyu and Xue Qing were washing Chen Shuyue's face, and when they saw Gong Banxian coming in, they hurriedly said, "Military Division, how is it?" ”
Gong Banxian took out the bottle of medicine from his arms, "Here." After speaking, he handed the medicine bottle to Shuyu.
"General Tian, General Cao, strictly guard, no one is allowed to come in." Gong Banxian walked to the door of the account and said.
Shuyu took the ointment and looked at it carefully, "Is such a small bottle of medicine useful?" ”
Gong Banxian said: "Miss, I thought so at first, but guess who I met tonight?" Lonely and proud! He is a person who is more authoritative than Qiu Yidao, I would rather not trust anyone, but I can't help but believe in Dugu Ao's predecessors, so I believe in this medicine. ”
Shuyu nodded, "Yes, Dugu Ao's old-timers will not deceive." ”
