Chapter Forty-Eight, Reckless Horseman

Thousands of cavalry roared past and headed straight for Tao Pass. Taoguan is the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, is the place where soldiers must fight, this place was occupied by the Lu State at first, Jiang Wangshu took this place again. Taoguan is a wide place in the east and west, but Taoguan is a pass between Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

Jiang Jue came in a hurry, and he was not completely familiar with the military situation in Taoguan, but fortunately, there were generals in the army who knew the situation.

"General, after the general leaves, Tao Guan will be guarded by Liu Jing." The man reported.

Jiang Jue didn't know who Liu actually was, and even Da Li's generals were only familiar with the commanders of the 20,000 troops in the previous battle with the Muses, and he didn't know anything about them. Since you want to deal with this Liu Jing, it is better to know the roots. So he said: "Talk about Liu Jing." ”

The general said: "Liu was originally Gongzihan's personal guard, and he should have been buried after Gongzihan's death, but for some reason he survived, and he was even more appreciated." ”

"I don't know why I still don't dare to say it?" Jiang Jue said with a smile.

The general laughed dryly and said no more.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Jiang Jue asked with interest.

"General, don't ask, the villain really doesn't dare to say." The general's face was embarrassed.

Jiang Jue said in a low voice: "I heard that the mother of the country gave birth in August, and I also heard that the Empress Dowager Yao stayed with the mother of the country all day long, and even I knew that the father and son of the mother of the country, Tang, had a great deal to do with the death of the previous king. ”

The general's face changed, and he glanced at Jiang Jue again and again. Jiang Jue wanted to continue, but the general hurriedly said, "General, it's better not to say some things." ”

"Don't say it, don't say it," Jiang Jue asked, "What do you call it?" ”

The general said aggrievedly: "General, my surname is Shen, the fourth in line, just call me Shen Ji."

"Shen Ji, let's talk about Liu Jing." Jiang Jue asked.

"Liu Jing is greedy for life and afraid of death and greedy for beauty, the previous general specially dismissed the female dependents of the general, Liu Jing has been sick, and he has not fought once in two months." Shen Ji replied truthfully.

Jiang Jue shook his head and said, "Jiang Hou's temper is better, what's the use of keeping such straw bales?" ”

Shen Ji laughed with him and stopped answering, after all, he couldn't afford to offend Jiang Jue, and he couldn't afford to offend Liu Jing.

Ling Han never said a word, he didn't say much, he didn't bother to speak unless it was necessary. However, Ling Han's strength is getting stronger and stronger now, and he lost a battle with the Muse, and won in less than twenty moves in the battle with Long Li in Lidu. Jiang Jue asked himself if he could defeat Long Li, but it was difficult to defeat him in twenty moves.

Thousands of light horsemen galloped all the way, less than two days to arrive at Tao Pass, Tao Pass guards crookedly squeezed in a pile of fire, see thousands of light horsemen stir up dust and then return to their places.

"I am Jiang Jue, the acting general appointed by the Son of Heaven," Jiang Jue glanced at these soldiers who were standing crookedly, and instead of reprimanding, he shouted, "Where is Liu?" Let him come out to me. ”

"General Yu, General Liu is seriously ill." A soldier replied.

"What disease can be bedridden for two months? Isn't Mo raising a baby in Taoguan? Jiang Jue dismounted and shouted, "It just so happens that I can use some techniques to stabilize the fetus and lead the way." ”

The soldier was in a dilemma, Ling Han's spear was shocked, and he was not angry, and the soldier really obediently stepped forward to lead the way.

Jiang Jue stepped forward with his sword, Ling Han followed with a gun, and the rest of the people had no intention of coming. Jiang Jue turned around and shouted, "Shen Ji, you come too." ”

Shen Ji followed with a smile, and the rest of the commanders looked at Shen Ji with blank eyes, only blaming themselves for not having a relationship with this young general.

"General, it's just ahead." The soldier leading the way said.

Jiang Jue asked Ling Han to avoid it, and knocked on the door alone. Soon someone scolded and said, "Damn, who spoiled my good deeds?" ”

"It's me." Jiang Jue said gently.

Someone pushed the door and saw that Jiang Jue was not wearing a military uniform, and there was no one on his side, so he asked, "Are you?" ”

"I'm Pu Yin, a doctor, I heard that the general was sick and came to visit." Jiang Jue arched his hand towards Liu Jing and said.

Liu didn't recognize Jiang Jue, but he still heard of Jiang Jue's and Pu Yin's names, and said impatiently: "I'm fine, you leave quickly." ”

A delicate woman's voice came from inside the room: "General, what kind of person?"

Liu Jing smiled obscenely and replied, "A little Langzhong." ”

Liu actually left Jiang Jue into the house and closed the door, Jiang Jue handed a color to Ling Han, Ling Han understood, raised the gun and threw it through the door, and soon there was a wail and a woman's heart-rending scream. Jiang Jue deliberately waited at the door before shouting: "Shen Ji, open the door, General Ben will see if my medical skills are good or not." ”

Shen Ji was stunned by Jiang Jue's thunderous methods, and pushed open the door tremblingly. Jiang Jue stepped into the room and said without a trace of pity: "If you are seriously ill, you naturally have to take heavy medicine, but unfortunately you can't bear it." ”

Ling Han drew the gun, and Liu was willing to fall, so frightened that the woman hiding on the edge of the bed screamed again.

Jiang Jue only glanced at her, and hurriedly turned his head away, shouting, "Giving you so long without clothes?" Get dressed quickly. ”

After speaking, Jiang Jue and Ling Han retreated and took them to the door.

"Shen Ji, you will replace Liu Jing in the future," Jiang Jue said mildly, and then with a straight face, "A man can be lustful, but he can't be lustful for a lifetime." ”

Shen Ji's face was filled with joy, but he was suppressed by Jiang Jue's second half of the sentence. This young acting general is not simple. Jiang Jue entered Yanzhou and fought a total of two battles, one of which seriously injured Teng Yun and repelled the Lu army led by Teng Yun; In a battle, there were many enemies with few enemies and strong battles with weakness, and more than 10,000 military horses were snatched from the Song army.

The two battles alone convinced the weak commanders who followed him. Of course, Jiang Jue will also inspect his soldiers, such as this Shen Ji, who is barely more useful than those weak commanders, and Jiang Jue naturally sees it in his eyes. How did he not know Shen Ji's name, and asking him was just to find out.

As soon as Jiang Jue came to Taoguan, he stood up and killed Liu Jing, who pretended to be sick on the surface but was actually addicted to women, and completely frightened Taoguan and these soldiers. It's not easy for this harmless young general to be a general before he is a crown age.

Several of Liu Jing's subordinates also planned to give Jiang Jue a dismissal, but after knowing Liu Jing's death, they were all as well-behaved as lambs. I don't know who said that Jiang Jue was the son of Jiang Hou, and his temperament was as gentle as Jiang Hou, and when he saw it was believing, the generals of Tao Guan cried and mourned, this young general was not only not a gentle horn, but drove them to fight like a vicious wolf.

The next day, Jiang Jue summoned people above the commander of a thousand to gather, and after learning a little about the enemy's military situation, he wanted to lead the army out of Taoguan and directly into the border of Qingzhou.

A group of generals hurriedly blocked, saying that Taoguan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as they occupied this place, they could ensure that the army of Qingzhou Lu had nothing to do.

Jiang Jue replaced all seven cowardly generals in a row, and all of them were replaced by the seven or eight thousand commanders he brought. Someone dares to resist? No one, Liu Jing's death is still vivid, who dares to make a mistake? This young acting general turned the Son of Heaven away twice, and once angrily reprimanded the Son of Heaven in the palace and temple.

So the few commanders who were demoted to men chattered endlessly behind their backs, so after the Taoguan military information was transmitted back to the Dali Temple, many old nobles called the young acting general a reckless man. A reckless man can be a general in battle, but he can't be a general in commanding the army.

Maybe it was because after being angrily reprimanded by Jiang Jue, the young Zhi Tianzi finally stopped being a cowardly son of heaven, and with a wave of his hand, he rejected the request of the old nobles to depose Jiang Jue as the general, and even went to Taoguan to supervise the battle in person.

The Son of Heaven wants to go to Taoguan to supervise the battle, but he can scare these old nobles a lot. The Son of Heaven is to sit in the central government, where can he be committed to the army? Besides, the war is unpredictable, and who can afford to take responsibility if there are three longs and two shorts in one day?

This Zhi Tianzi, who is more and more like the former king He Tianzi, changed his past decadence and said: "Lone is not to discuss with you, if anyone is afraid, they can not go." ”

So the noisy and noisy temples were as silent as the noisy bazaar, and the faces of the old nobles were like bitter melons. This young Zhitianzi didn't want to drive, and rode a white horse to Taoguan to occupy it exclusively, followed by a hundred and ten old nobles, and went to Taoguan.

After learning that the Son of Heaven was coming to supervise the war, Jiang Jue had just led the army to return from the battle with the Lu army, and he neither ordered to send people to greet him, nor did he make too much noise, he should train the troops and train the troops, and he should go out to fight, everything is as usual.

When the Son of Heaven and the Hundred and Ten Nobles arrived at Taoguan, Jiang Jue was preparing to go out of the pass to fight with the Lu army who came to call the battle, Jiang Jue only glanced at the Son of Heaven from a distance, and wanted to go out of the pass to meet the battle, but Ling Han took the lead, so he had to stand on the pass and watch the battle.

The young Zhi Tianzi walked up to Taoguan accompanied by Meng Lan, and some old nobles chattered endlessly and reprimanded Jiang Jue for being rude. Jiang Jue supported the old nobleman and pointed to Ling Han, who was fighting with General Lu, and said, "You old man, take a look, you are here, I will talk to you, why don't you go and talk to Lu Jun?" ”

Meng Lan pretended to reprimand Jiang Jue angrily, and Jiang Jue let go of the old nobleman, and then walked down.

"Reckless horseman, reckless horseman." The old nobleman was so angry that he stomped his feet and beat his chest.

Zhi Tianzi turned a deaf ear to all this, listening to the chatter of these sleepy old nobles all day long, almost making his high-spirited young heart age. He admires Jiang Jue more and more now, if Jiang Jue hadn't scolded himself in the temple to wake up, I'm afraid he would be exactly the same as his father sooner or later.

Gongzizhi, who is not yet the Son of Heaven, felt sorry for his father, who had done nothing all his life, and when he ascended the throne in a hurry under the trick of fate, he embarked on his father's old path, and even almost went farther and farther. Further ahead was an abyss, but fortunately, Jiang Jue's reprimand made him stop at the precipice. He used to only complain about the young pillars of the temple, and there were no generals in the army, and he never reflected on the inaction of the Son of Heaven.

That's why he boldly used the young Jiang Jue as the acting general, as long as he did something, how could there be fewer pillars in the temple, and how could there be no generals in the army?

Taishi Meng Lan is recognized by the people of the world as a gentleman who has obtained the true inheritance of Zichou, a saint of the Heavenly Dao, or the nominal Luoyi School Palace sacrificial wine, the first saint in the world. With such pillars here, it is enough.

Whether it is Jiang Jue or Ling Han, or even Yun Ge, who was recommended by Mao Sui, is a young and promising general, how can there be no general in the army?

What Da Li lacks is just a son of heaven who can make a difference.

Jiang Jue didn't know the thoughts of this young Zhitianzi, he picked up his sword and rode out of the pass, and there were still Teng Yun's troops in front of him. In just a few moments, Ling Han had already killed a general of the Lu army who was not weak, which attracted the applause of Zhi Tianzi and the old nobles of the temples who were watching the battle.

Two more generals from the Lu army came out together, but Ling Han still fought alone. Zhi Tianzi said worriedly: "Why doesn't General Jiang Jue send people into battle anymore." ”

Under the worried gaze of Zhi Tianzi and the old nobles of the temple, Ling Han picked up his gun and galloped away, picking off a Lu general with one shot, and knocking another Lu general to the ground with one shot or two shots.

Zhi Tianzi's expression was very happy, and he was pleasantly surprised when he arrived at Taoguan, which made him have the idea of raising his sword and going into battle.

When Ling Han returned to the battle, the Lu army did not beat the drum to march, but walked out of a general with a long sword. Shen Ji, who was staying in Taoguan, said: "Son of Heaven, this Lu will be the famous Teng Yun. ”

After Teng Yun defected from Chu to Lu, he became the top general of Lu, and Lu's acquisition of three points of land in Jizhou was the credit of this person. If it weren't for the Northern Plains chivalrous Ai Shi's sideways intervention, I'm afraid he would be the only one to be the general.

Seeing that Teng was finally willing to fight, Ling Han licked his lips and said, "It's finally here, and it's always fun to fight with some straw bales." ”

The cold face general Ling Han is still a fanatical warmaker. Knowing that he was invincible to Fubai, he still saw it once and asked for advice once. However, Jiang Jue couldn't do what he wanted, and hurriedly said: "I said Ling Han, my general is still watching the battle, you let me show my face." ”

Ling Han was reluctant, and Jiang Jue said again: "When I see Beiyuan Aishi, I'll give it to you, how about it?" ”

Ling Han nodded with satisfaction at this time, Beiyuan Ai Shi was more attractive than this Teng Yun.

Jiang Jue rode out, raised the Teng Yun sword in his hand and said loudly: "Your subordinates are defeated, do you dare to come?" ”

Teng Yun was seriously injured by Jiang Hou in Xuzhou, and even his sword was seized by Jiang Jue, and he was holding back a fire and shouted: "Little thief, die." ”

Jiang Jue smiled heartily and walked away with his sword. Teng Yun was originally the general of the Chu State to conquer the west, and his strength was on par with Jing Se, the general of Zhenbei, and he was weaker than that of Yu Chen. Jiang Jue can kill Jing Se in Huoquan Pass, let alone come down from Emei again?

However, since the Son of Heaven and the old nobles came, Jiang Jue didn't want them to spoil their fun, so he only defended and did not attack.

"This is the way of defense of the lettels, how would you do that?" Teng Yun couldn't break through Jiang Jue's defense, and stepped back and exclaimed.

Jiang Jue didn't answer, and pressed towards Teng Yun again, he was still using the way of defense for the first time, and he didn't use it very easily, and he always felt flawed. Teng Yun is a rare opponent, his strength is not weak, but he can be used to practice swords.

So this scene became Jiang Jue's disadvantage in the eyes of the old nobleman who was watching the battle, and the old nobleman, who was already dissatisfied with Jiang Jue, sneered and said: "The young man is very powerful......

This old nobleman only said half of what he said, Jiang Jue turned defense into offense, using Jiang Hou's galaxy swordsmanship, sword after sword.

Teng Yun was ashamed and angry, but he couldn't help Jiang Jue is fact. The Xinghe sword technique is a fast sword, and Teng Yun is difficult to parry, so he runs away.
