Chapter 127: A Gentleman
Crossing the Fencheng Fortress, crossing the Yingshui that has just been frozen and still needs to build a bridge, and walking one hundred and thirty miles to the north, it is the county of Yingchuan County, and the old capital of South Korea is Xinzheng. Heavy snow fell from time to time, which brought great trouble to the march of the Chu army, especially to the towing of the artillery carriages. Only in the early morning, when the snow was frozen, and before there was any snow, the army barely moved forward for thirty miles, and then camped on the spot.
Like Wang Jian at the beginning of the year, Li Xin also burned the houses of the villages along the way when he retreated, so that the Chu army had no firewood to burn. However, the common people of Han pulled people on their backs, walked more than ten miles or dozens of miles, and sent dry firewood to the outside of the camp where the Chu army was stationed. Coal burning is more than firewood province, coal burning can save half, before arriving in Xinzheng, the Chu army logistics are worry-free, you can see these common people who send firewood, Chu soldiers still inevitably have the feeling of eating pot pulp to welcome the royal family.
"Is there a pie? Is there any bread left? Is there a cake? On this day, Liu Bang wandered again. He broke into the black tent where the coal was blazing, ignored his comrades who were roasting the fire, and went straight to the row of hanging backpacks. Liu Bang has done something similar not once, but the cake is not, he directly searched out the canned meat inside.
The soldiers carried three days' rations and three canned food, which everyone was reluctant to eat, because the three-day rations could be stored in their backpacks and taken home after the war. Seeing that Liu Bang searched out the canned food, some people were unhappy, Zhou Changqiang smiled: "Brother Ji, this meat is also, this meat is also ......"
"What about meat? Reluctant? Liu Bang didn't reply, his voice was straightforward, and he said while searching for cans: "Why do we refuse Qin?" Not for all the people? Under the rule of Qin, the common people have no clothing, no food and no house, but you have a fire to roast......"
Liu Bang has read books, and Mr. Teaching naturally taught him a lot of principles of life. The grain production of the Qin State was reduced, and the grain straw was collected during the war, and the millet of the common people of Yingchuan County was almost all collected. The weather is cold and freezing, and the common people who send firewood have yellow faces and thin muscles, and everyone is thinly dressed.
Ma Li carried a bag of canned food, and held a backpack on his chest, and Liu Bang, who had collected all the dry food in the black tent, went out of the tent in full view of everyone. As soon as the curtain was lifted, he stopped when the wind and snow blew in, and the rucksack in front of him was placed on the ground, and he grabbed the iron tongs and clamped the mouth of the coal stove that was burning with the flames.
"You are ......" took away everyone's rations, and didn't let everyone roast the fire, Cao Shen couldn't help but be angry if he had a bad temper.
"How am I?" Liu Bang still had the same tone just now. "I ask you to take a look, what is the lack of food? What is ragged? β
"What do they Koreans have to do with me?" Cao Shen snatched the iron tongs in Liu Bang's hand, and he was frightened by Liu Bang in the next sentence.
"Honorable Scholars?" Liu Bang is older than Cao Shen, but his body is a circle smaller than him. "If you don't have a heart of love, you are worthy of honor?"
"Me?" Cao Shen is a fierce pawn, and the ideal of a fierce pawn is to become a meritorious scholar, to be knighted, and to get rid of the identity of a commoner and become a nobleman. Yushi is the lowest level of aristocrats, elected by the divisions and brigades, Cao Shen, who has not read the book, does not know how to choose Yushi, only knows that combat bravery is only a premise, and was bluffed by Liu Bang.
"Brother Ji, but the chief soldier has a life, and he wants me to wait for the account to be paid?" On a cold day, he didn't go out to watch a group of ordinary people, even Xiahou Ying, who was bullied and tricked by everyone, was not very happy to go out, and at this time Lu Juan had already hugged the backpack on the ground.
"To go or not to volunteer, you can just ask yourself." Carrying the wind and snow, Liu Bang's words quickly disappeared outside the black tent, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Zhou Cao.
Zhou Ke is similar in age to Liu Bang and Lu Xuan, and has also read books, and is different from Liu Bang. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhou Cao coughed twice and said, "If you look at the country of people, if you look at its country; Regard the home of a person, as if it were his home; Regard the body of a man as if he were his body. Therefore, if the princes love each other, they will not fight in the field; If the head of the family loves each other, he will not usurp each other; If people love each other, they will not be thieves......"
Zhou Ke has read a lot of books, but there are not many people who have read books among his colleagues, and the more I listen to him, the more I don't understand what he is talking about. Zhou Chang smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother, I'll wait, I'll really go with that Liu Ji to have a look?" β
PlaNet Finance and other places used to belong to the Song Kingdom, and the Song Kingdom came out of the Mo family. Zhou Ke was about to explain to his colleagues what love is, why love, and how to love, but was interrupted by his cousin. He was not angry, and said: "It's better to see than to hear, so what's the matter with going?" β
In order to keep warm in winter, a big tent lived in a column of three soldiers and fifteen people, and more than a dozen people followed Zhou Ke out of the tent and saw that Liu Bang had not left outside, he was grabbed by the collar by a strong man in the tent, and he was about to punch, but fortunately, the strong man's fist was pulled by someone.
"Hit! You hit! There's a kind of! Liu Bang didn't resist either, his hands were hanging down, and his mouth was aggressive. Last year, your father was sick, where did the money come from? How can the disease be cured? Today, others are in trouble, a few cakes, a few cans can't bear to give, what is your righteousness?! β
It's nothing to rush into this account to collect dry food, but it's different to rush into another account to collect dry food. However, as soon as Liu Bang mentioned the old thing, the strong man had to put down his fist and loosen Liu Bang's collar.
The soldiers are all ordinary people, and the war has been going on in the past few years, and the sky is very different, who has no difficulties? The clan is just that, a family like Xiahou Ying, a single family like Zhou Bo who moved from other counties, really has difficulties and has nowhere to turn to, so he can only fend for himself.
Chu Jun's organization is also an organization in ordinary times, Liu Bang with his good nature of making friends, unconsciously will be a single-family family slowly strung together, and then climbed up to some talkative rich and wealthy families, who have difficulties He always tries his best to help. Such a heroic man does have the 'right' to rush into other people's tents to collect dry food, because many people have been favored by him.
"Brother Ji, Brother Ji......" The chief in the black tent hurriedly came out to play a round, and he also kicked the strong man fiercely, making him kneel on the snow. How do you know what righteousness is in this vertical ear? Why is Brother Ji angry? Brother Ji, please stop being angry, stop being angry. This side played a round game, and that side turned to the stunned comrades and said, "What are you waiting for, don't send dry food out of the camp!" β
"Don't leave your old clothes behind." Liu Bang exhaled and straightened his wrinkled clothes.
"Remember! Don't leave old clothes behind. The longitudinal chief smiled flatteringly, and hurriedly ordered, completely ignoring the disdainful gazes of Zhou Ke and the others - just a dozen days ago, this person almost had a fight with Liu Bang. As soon as the news of Liu Bang's marriage to Yong's daughter spread in the past few days, his attitude changed immediately, and he couldn't wait to kneel in front of Liu Bang and call his father.
"Don't kneel." Liu Bang patted the kneeling strong man on the shoulder and asked him to get up. "Remember! If you don't help others, how can people help you? β
*
From ten miles away into the Chu army camp, Zhang Liang on the carriage saw the Korean commoners outside the camp. These people either shouldered or used ox carts to send dry firewood outside the Chu military camp, and the military officials in charge of carrying heavy loads would pay some Chu money depending on the amount of dry firewood. The common people who got the money did not leave immediately, they looked at the door of the barracksβin a little while, the barracks would be opened, and the leftovers of the soldiers would be poured out.
"What isβWhy is that?" The yellow-faced and thin-skinned compatriots stood outside the Chu camp in rags, and Zhang Liang was very puzzled. Under the sun, the weather is not cold but still warm, and they are not afraid of snow if they don't hurry home after selling firewood?
"The nobleman doesn't know anything. The Qin people harvested all the millet, and the people had no food, and they begged for food for the Chu army. The car was hired by Zhang Liang, and the old man of the royal car was a local, and he finally exclaimed: "Woohoo! For three years, for three years, the people have not thought about my king, and they have not thought about my Korea! β
Lao Suo's words Zhang Liang wanted to cry when he heard this, South Korea is ruled in a thousand ways, everything is not good, and it will never fight every year. Under the rule of the Qin people, it was completely different, Li Xin's hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Xiangcheng, and the Qin officials were eager to scrape the ground.
"Stop! Stop! Zhang Liang shouted to stop, but before the car could stop, the person jumped down. He hurriedly untied the fox fur from his body and draped it over a woman holding a child. The woman's clothes are not covered, and when the cold wind blows, you can see the back of the light.
"Noble, noble, you can't ......" The woman was startled by the robes with body temperature, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down.
"I, Zhang, am the king's ministers, the king is worried about the ministers, the king humiliates the ministers and dies, the king loses the country, my Zhang family is guilty, guilty!" The woman knelt down, seeing that the Koreans were so oppressed and bullied by the Qin State, Zhang Liang couldn't help but kneel.
"Is it the son of the Zhang family? It's the son of the Zhang family. "The Korean Zhang family only has the new Zheng Zhang family, who has been the Korean prime minister for generations, and I heard that it is the son of the Zhang family, and the common people continue to gather towards him in the cold wind, surround him, and there are a few Haoqiang children who send firewood standing inside.
The common people looked at Zhang Liang and wept, Zhang Liang looked at the common people and cried, and the tears were just enough, and his first sentence made everyone cry bitterly: "The Qin people have been defeated in successive battles, and under the first mountain, the corpses of the Qin soldiers are piled up like a mountain, and I can recover Korea." β
"Really?" The old man who was driving also cried, he didn't know that he was carrying the son of the Zhang family, and he didn't know that the Qin people were piled up with bones under the first mountain, and he didn't know that South Korea was about to return to the country.
"Yes. The queen is the sister of the king of Chu, and the crown prince is the son of the king of Chu, and the king of Chu has long said that if Qin destroys Han, Chu will be restored......" Zhang Liang held back his cry and said patiently to the Han people around him. The state of Chu is the hope of Korea's restoration, and the Chu army is about to capture Xinzheng, so he hurried to meet the king of Chu to discuss the restoration of the country.
His words gave rise to infinite hope among the common people, and also gave birth to infinite hope for the children of Haoqiang in the crowd - the local Haoqiang is not familiar with the new officials from Guanzhong, there is no way to bribe, and the style of the Qin officials is rigid, and they have been tossed enough in the past few years. If South Korea can be restored, life will be better than it is now.
"Zhang Gongzi, dare to ask what kind of acres I am waiting for after the restoration of the country?" Looking at Zhang Liang, who was about to leave after speaking, the two well-dressed middle-aged men hurriedly saluted each other. They had private land, and as soon as the Qin people came, the private land was confiscated.
"Recover." Zhang Liang said loudly, saying this answer that they were overjoyed about. At this time, the car moved forward again, but it didn't go two miles, and Zhang Liang shouted to stop again. He saw some Chu pawns handing out cakes and old clothes to the Koreans, as well as the kind of canned food that was rare to see.
"I don't know ......" Zhang Liang took a deep look at a Chu pawn who opened the can for Lao Suo. Chu pawn glanced at him and walked over by himself, he had to catch up with him again and ask, "Dare to ask who is under your feet?" β
"Who?" Xiahou Ying looked at Zhang Liang, whose skin was as fair as a woman, smiled strangely, and replied, "I'm a Chu person." β
"Dare to ask which general is under the command of the foot?" Zhang Liang waved again, pointed to the Koreans who were gnawing on the cakes behind Chu Shu, and then asked, "Why is this ......?"
"This is all Brother Ji's instructions." Xiahou Ying replied, and handed another can to the Han people.
"Brother Ji?" Zhang Liang was puzzled, Xiahou Ying pointed to the opposite side, and Zhang Liang saw that there were more people on the opposite side, and there were also more Chu pawns who distributed canned cakes. He asked a few people to find Brother Ji at the head, and said deeply after a few steps: "Han Zhang Liang has seen Brother Ji, dare to ask Brother Ji's name?" β
"You are ......" There is less food and more people, Liu Bang is not a military official in charge of military food, he can only save some people. He didn't care who was standing in front of him, nor did he care about Zhang Liang, who had fine skin and tender flesh and fair complexion, he didn't like this kind of person by nature. After returning the salute slightly, he said without a smile: "I am nameless, I don't know what happened to the son?" β
"I am a Korean, I will give me food and clothing for the Koreans, and Zhang Liang will thank you." Zhang Liang was about to bow as he spoke, but Liu Bang hurriedly stopped him. "We have old clothes and food, but the people have nothing, and they have no ears."
"The gentleman at the foot is also, I hope to tell the name." Zhang Liang saluted again, and the more he looked at Liu Bang, the more he felt that this person was a gentleman. Looking at the many scratches on the huge armor he was wearing, he felt even more reverence in his heart, thinking that after the restoration of South Korea, he would definitely invite this person to come to South Korea as an official.
"How can I be a gentleman, a common people." Liu Bang couldn't help but snicker. If it was a man dressed in rags, he would never say so. Zhang Liang was dressed in a brocade robe, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a fur coat on his feet, and he looked very much like a woman, such a noble son instinctively stayed away and didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Liu Bang refused again, and when Zhang Liang wanted to say more, the lunch bell rang in the camp, and he smiled and left. Zhang Liang couldn't enter the camp, so he watched him go helplessly, until he entered the shogunate and met the master Sima Zhuang without land, and he was still thinking about the appearance of this nameless Ji brother.
"What happened to Zhang Gongzi from afar?" Zhuang Wudi knew Zhang Liang and knew his identity, so he could probably guess his intention.
"The Chu army will restore Xinzheng, and our people are here to restore the country." Zhang Liangdao. "If Korea can be restored, I should be the vanguard of Chu and Wei, north of the river and east of Hangu Pass, there can be our Korean army stationed ......"
Before coming, Zhang Liang had contacted Yingdu, and the most important task of his trip was to rebuild the Korean army. Korea is dead, and Zhao is also dead, but South Korea's status is far inferior to Zhao, why? Zhao has 100,000 Zhao troops, and South Korea has only one or two thousand Han soldiers.
"This matter ......," Zhuang Wudi shook his head.
"How?" Zhang Liang asked urgently. With the relationship between Miqin and the promise made by the King of Chu, the Chu army immediately came to Xinzheng, and he couldn't think of any reason for Zhuang Wudi to refuse him.
Looking at Zhang Liang, whose eyes were complicated and full of hope, Zhuang Wudi finally said: "Today, the Qi people will go out of the fortress and fight the Qin army. β
"Huh!?" Zhang Liang was stunned, "Qi people? Qi people out of the fortress and the Qin army... Duel? β
"Yes." The shogunate also received the news just in the morning that 300,000 Qi troops went out of the fortress to chase after the 150,000 Qin army, and the two sides lined up on the east bank of Jishui, fifty miles south of Pingyin. "If the Qi people are defeated, our army should rush to the aid of the Qi country......"
"Chi... Aid... Even... Country..."word by word, Zhang Liang's face was no longer bloodless.
"This is Chu's self-help. If the Qi State dies, Muling Pass is in danger. Zhuang Wudi also sighed. He stopped talking, and only hoped in his heart that the bravery of the Qi people would be worthy of the pride in their hearts.
