Chapter Twenty-Nine: Closing the Door and Beating the Dog

There were only two people left in the house, Guan Yu and Lu Yansheng, and Guan Yu walked over to untie the rope for him.

Lu Yansheng got up and didn't say a word, rushed to the small table, grabbed an empty bowl, picked up the wine jug that Guan Yu put on the table, poured a full bowl, and then raised his head and drank it all.

Guan Yu smiled and walked back to the small table and sat down, picked up the wine jug and poured a full bowl for Lu Yansheng, and also poured a bowl for himself, and drank it all with his hand.

"Boy, why didn't you kill me?" Lu Yan glared at Guan Yu angrily.

Guan Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "Old man, you are all this age, if someone else should be at home to tease your grandson and take care of your old age, why are you guarding this broken level in this wilderness?" ”

Lu Yansheng sighed and said: "The old man has been in officialdom all his life, and he once had great ambitions and planned to serve the country. Helplessly, because of this broken mouth, I offended many colleagues, for decades, the emperor has changed, but I haven't even seen a face, and I was sent to this wilderness, where birds don't. I was going to mix for another two years and return to my hometown, but I didn't expect to meet you, and I ordered --- have another bowl of wine. ”

After pouring a large bowl of wine again, Lu Yansheng wiped the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, glared at Guan Yu with squinted eyes and said, "You are poisonous!" Winning the Snow Wolf Pass, forcing the tiger camp to have no food and grass in the camp, and no rescuers outside, this is to close the door and beat the dogs! The old man was really careless, I didn't expect you to dare to race hundreds of miles and sneak attack in the middle of the night. You dare to try it in broad daylight, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountains are full of stones, so it's strange if you don't smash your kid into meat sauce! ”

Guan Yu picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your old man to be confused at all!" ”

The old man snorted coldly, turned around and walked to the bed, and said, "I have been tossed by you rabbit cubs for half a night, and the old man is tired and tight. If you want to kill me again, you have to wait until I wake up! ”

Guan Yu couldn't cry or laugh, not only did he not want to kill him, but he also liked this stubborn dry old man a little.

Feng Yong looked around and carefully found an open space to set up camp. slept until midnight, and suddenly there was a lot of noise outside the camp, and the fire was blazing.

Feng Yong got up and hurriedly summoned the herald to ask.

"Commander, there are only a small group of thieves outside the camp, and our losses are not large, a few brothers have died, and two camps have been extinguished."

Feng Yong breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep. Before he could sleep soundly, he heard a great chaos outside, and several tents could be faintly seen on fire. Annoyed, he put on his armor and walked out of the tent. After inquiry, it was only a small group of people who set fire to disturb them, and when everyone rushed out, the people had already run away.

"Send a team of cavalry to form a formation in front of the camp, but when you encounter an enemy army, you can only drive away, not chase fiercely, and be careful of being ambushed." Feng Yong ordered.

Half an hour later, another group of cavalry with torches rushed over, and against the backdrop of the torches, the leader stood out from his lips with a large front tooth, shining brightly.

The task assigned to the "Zhang Daya" troops by Shi Junshi was very simple: all of them slept during the day, and set fire to the Tiger Ben camp at night. Beat gongs and drums, set off firecrackers, blow suona, how to disturb the people, how to come. However, there is no direct confrontation, and the quarrel is over. For these veteran bandits, it is easy to kill two people, set fire to them and then scatter them away, so they are quite passionate and happy to work.

Seeing the cavalry phalanx lined up outside the camp gate, Zhang Dutong and his subordinates stood far away, resolutely not taking a step forward, and began to shout loudly.

"Brothers, it turns out that we are all one family, killing corrupt officials, eliminating bullies, and opposing the court that oppresses us. But now you have a soft crotch in your collar's pants, surrendered to the court, become lackeys, and turn around and kill your own people! You're still working hard for him, is it worth it? ”

There was a commotion in the cavalry phalanx of the Tiger Camp, and someone couldn't help whispering: "Damn, who are we working for now?" ”

Feng Yong was angry and shouted, "Don't listen to their nonsense!" Cavalry assault and kill them all! ”

The bandits, who had a natural sensitivity to danger, disappeared into the darkness without waiting for the opposing cavalry to activate.

Within half an hour, these bandits ran back with torches again, and this time they really found a few broken gongs, waist drums and a few suona somewhere, blowing and blowing, and started the talent show with great joy. It's really beating your drums, beating my gongs, and life is full of rhythm.

The annoyed cavalry of the Tiger Battalion came out again, but found nothing but a broken gong abandoned in the grass.

The dejected soldiers of the Tiger Camp tossed all night, yawning and finally looking forward to the rising sun in the east.

Ruan Wu led tens of thousands of paces to ride the banner and appear in front of the Tiger Camp camp. Feng Yong's nervous organization team was ready to meet the frontal impact of the other party. Strangely, this Red Turban Army did not seem to be here to fight hard, but more like it was here to demonstrate. He just stood far away, and had no intention of charging.

Feng Yong was a little out of breath, and tentatively urged the soldiers and horses to take the initiative to attack. The two armies were still far apart, and he suddenly heard the sound of the other party's Mingjin retreating, and then saw the Red Turban Army retreating in an orderly manner. Chasing out for several miles, Feng Yong was afraid of being ambushed, so he decisively withdrew his troops.

Before returning to the camp, Zhai Longbiao's team appeared at the rear of the camp again. Feng Yong didn't dare to slack off, and attacked again. Zhai Longbiao, as if he had discussed with Ruan Wu, quickly retreated without a fight, making Feng Yong confused.

For several days in a row, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Battalion, who had nothing to do on the arrow tower, would yawn and watch Ruan Wu and Zhai Longbiao pull the team to march and demonstrate alternately, with a blank gaze that was lost due to lack of sleep, and they were already numb from tossing.

"Woke up?" Guan Yu was facing out of the window, staring at an eagle soaring with wings in the air.

"Comfortable!" Lu Yansheng stretched his waist beautifully, looked up at the sky, and it was already three poles of the sun.

"You still can't kill me!" The dry old man said confidently: "The old man is hungry, bring some wine and meat!" If you don't let you fill your stomach, you will be sent on the road and you will be thundered by the sky! ”。

Guan Yu was not angry, got up and walked to the door, pushed open the door, and instructed the guards outside the door, "Go and get some wine and meat." ”

After a while, a sturdy guard walked in with a tray and saw that Lu Yansheng was already sitting at the small table unceremoniously and rolled up his sleeves neatly. The guard angrily slammed the tray on the table, Lu Yansheng completely ignored the guard's fierce eyes that wanted to smash him to death with a punch, poured a large bowl of wine to himself, grabbed the cooked meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and drank and chewed it.

Guan Yu waved his hand to order the guards to retreat, and said with a smile: "The old man has a good appetite. ”

Lu Yansheng replied while eating: "The old man has never done anything in his life, and he has always eaten and slept fragrantly. You can't do it, right? Brat. ”

After drinking the last drop of wine, he stuffed his oily fingers into his mouth one by one and licked them, and then he burped with satisfaction, wiped his hands on his official robe, and stood up.

"Let's do it, boy, send me on my way!" Lu Yansheng said indifferently.

Guan Yu still sat motionless with a smile on his face.

Lu Yansheng looked at Guan Yu strangely and said, "What are you waiting for, boy?" Do you still want to take care of my dinner? ”

Guan Yu said lightly: "Do you still have relatives in your hometown?" If you are willing to go back, I can give you some silver taels to wrap up and settle in. ”

Lu Yansheng crooked his neck and stared at Guan Yu's little white face for a long time, and said, "Boy, you don't want to kill me?" But why? ”

Guan Yu smiled and said word by word: "Because, I hope that when I reach your age, I can also eat and sleep fragrantly." ”

Lu Yansheng was silent.

After being speechless for a long time, he solemnly straightened his clothes and looked at Guan Yu deeply.

Liu Ganting felt that his life was simply a big joke. As the brother-in-law of Pingzhang of Fu'an County, Chenglian of Fu'an County was able to escape by disguising himself as a beggar on the night when the Red Turban Army captured Fu'an. After the county capital Pingzhou City had a deep disappointment and dissatisfaction with the Great Qi court, he decided to change his mind and become a new man, and after in-depth analysis and careful thinking, he selected the strongest Black Flag Army to join. The wishful thinking in his heart is: once the Black Flag Army overthrows the Great Qi and opens the dynasty, as the founding father, he does not need to work hard with real swords and guns, and the glory and wealth of this life are also at his fingertips.

So, he traveled thousands of miles to the Black Flag Army. Who would have thought that the Black Flag Army suddenly changed its banner inexplicably and surrendered to Daqi. With his current position in the Tiger Camp, it is equivalent to the refinement of the year. What's even more unfortunate is that because he is familiar with the geographical environment around Pingzhou, he was assigned to be the guide of the second batch of expeditionary forces of the Huben Battalion to attack the desperate Red Turban Army that forced him back then. The sky has no eyes, the creation makes people, and after a hard turn, his life seems to have returned to the original point.

"Captain Liu, what are you thinking about? My father asks you something! Looking up at Grandpa Guo's sallow face, Liu Ganting hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Grandpa Guo, please speak." ”

"Let me ask you if there are any other paths to Pingzhou besides passing through Snow Wolf Pass?"

"Yes! The cavalry could bypass the Snow Wolf Pass after a month's detour, and arrived near Pingzhou two months later. ”

Yang Mingyi is not angry, two months? Two months later, the 100,000-strong army led by Feng Yong either starved to death or had already collapsed. It seems that the only way to storm the Snow Wolf Pass is to go all out! This time he made up his mind, except for some of the people left behind, he poured out of the nest, and even a small red turban bandit could not be extinguished, how could he talk about opening a national dynasty and achieving a small goal? !

Nie Yunniang hurriedly entered, looked at Yang Mingyi and said, "Snow Wolf Pass has been occupied, is there any news about Feng Yong and Shilong?" ”

Seeing that Yang Mingyi was speechless, Nie Yunniang continued: "When will the army leave?" I'm going with the army. ”

Yang Mingyi said happily: "With Yun Niang coming out, my Tiger Camp is already in control!" ”

Liu Ganting hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa Guo and the deputy leader will go out together, and it will be no problem for my Tiger Ben Battalion to sweep away the red turban bandits, and it will be effortless to level the Pingzhou Mansion." ”

Nie Yunniang glanced at Liu Ganting from the corner of her eyes, snorted coldly in her nose, hugged her fists at Yang Mingyi slightly, turned around and brushed her sleeves away.

Liu Ganting wondered: Can you shoot the wrong place if you shoot a sycophant? In this way, it seems that there are many discords between the grandfather and the deputy leader, and I will have to be more mindful in the future, and take advantage of the contradictions between the two to see the seams and act at the opportunity.
