Chapter 259: Singing the Great Drama
It's snowing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A white snowflake fell on Liu Xi's chopsticks, then slid into the steaming iron pot, and disappeared into the thick soup that was soaking in an instant.
After a snowflake, there were a series of snowflakes, which fell on Lin Yi's wine cup that was about to bring the wine to his mouth, and also on the temples of Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu, who were already flushed and talking to each other.
"Very good, don't be happy with the wind and snow for drinking!"
Lin Yi laughed and drank all the wine in the cup, thinking that he had indeed reached the place of happiness, so he lacked some of the modesty he had on weekdays, and exuded a sense of wanton frivolity.
The literati should be like this.
Smiled and silently recited a sentence, Liu Xi seemed to be infected by Lin Yi, raised his hand and drank the wine in the cup, "Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove." If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? ”
"Drink it together!"
Ma Xiu was the first to shout, Xiao Wu and Lin Yi followed, and the three of them raised the glass full of wine, drank it in a big gulp, and then laughed out loud.
Next to a few people, although they had not drunk, Seaton, who was flushed, stared at Liu Xi and the others who were drunk, and his heart couldn't help but surge.
In the future, there should be such an elegance as a teacher.
Naturally, Liu Xi didn't know what Sidon was thinking, and when the wine was finished, the wind and snow gradually stopped, the firewood had been burned, and the iron pot had run out of heat.
A layer of white snow covered the whole world, and also covered the remaining half of the boiled fish soup in the iron pot.
On the horizon, a touch of fish belly white slowly emerged between the black, and it was a sunny day after the snow.
Carrying the cleaned iron pot, Liu Xi walked back with a few slightly drunk people, fortunately, it was still early at this time, and the cold had not dispersed overnight, and few people came out, otherwise what kind of shock would it be to see the personable city lord carrying a cauldron.
On the way back, Liu Xi and Sidon said the holy decree sent by the Li Tang court, asking him to go back and make some arrangements, and then after the soldiers of both sides performed a play, they could let the Xiongnu army withdraw to the grassland.
For this kind of thing, Sidon is naturally full of answers, in order to save Liu Xi, he rushed to lead the army desperately, although it was a desperate bet, but as the emperor of the Huns, Sidon was still a little afraid in his heart, and now he heard Liu Xi's arrangement, which greatly settled down.
After returning to the camp, as Liu Xi expected, Tian Xun'er and her daughters, who got up to make breakfast, couldn't help but be quite annoyed when they saw that the pot stove was taken away.
But later, after thinking about it, it was even more frightening, Tian Xun'er's sleep has never been deep, someone can steal things under her ears and eyes, although I don't know if it's just an iron pot and chopsticks, but if you can have such a skill, how can you not take precautions?
What if the other party wants to harm Liu Xike?
What's more, when the girls saw that Liu Xi was not in the camp all night, they immediately panicked, and Qu Lang found the boy soldier, who changed his face after hearing this, took a long sword, and took a curved bow to hurry the team out of the camp.
For a time, the entire camp was in full swing.
At this moment, Liu Xi and a few people appeared belatedly, and seeing him carrying an iron pot, Tian Xun'er and Wu Shuang'er couldn't help but be angry, and they couldn't stop giggling.
Liu Xi scratched his head and explained the events of last night, seeing that he was safe and sound, the second daughter and Qin still took the iron pot to make breakfast, and the boy scouts sent someone to disband the soldiers.
After breakfast, Liu Xi was preparing to look for Hua Erlang and ponder the matter of firearms, after all, if he could make a cannon, it would be something that would change the entire era.
But before he could take this step, he heard a report from the soldiers outside the door, saying that the father-in-law who had come to deliver the decree last night had arrived at the camp gate.
Ma Sanping came so early in the morning, Liu Xi immediately understood what he was doing, although Yangqu City is prosperous, but after all, it is not the capital, the people around the emperor are like weeds blown by the spring breeze, wave after wave, this Ma Sanping finally showed his face, if it dragged on in the north for too long, the credit could not be earned, and the position after returning may have been replaced by someone long ago.
Therefore, Ma Sanping is very anxious.
Since this is the case, Liu Xi decided to put acting on the agenda as soon as possible, let Ma Sanping return to Lanling as soon as possible, and save him from staying in Yangqu City to restrain him.
It attracted Ma Sanping, thinking that Liu Xiying sent troops to the Huns last night, and Ma Sanping slept well, which made his pale face a lot better after a few days.
However, as Liu Xi thought, after a period of greetings, Ma Sanping said what he intended in the future, "Master Hou, the beginning of the year is coming, if the Huns do not retreat, it will be a headache, not only bad joy, but also provoke holy anger, when the time comes, the small head will not be guaranteed." ”
Sure enough, it was a person who came out of the palace, although the words were tactful, but Liu Xi understood that the matter of the Huns must be solved as soon as possible, at least it must not affect the joy of the people to welcome the spring, if this cannot be done, it may attract the anger of the Tang Emperor, saying that he wants to drop his Ma Sanping's head, in fact, it is not secretly reminding Liu Xi of the consequences of ineffective handling.
For these unclear words, Liu Xi would not say anything, but nodded with a smile and said, "Father-in-law, rest assured, Liu Xi will do his best to repel the Huns to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty." Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I made arrangements overnight last night, and I will prepare some grain and grass, and tomorrow I will personally lead the troops to attack the Huns. ”
Hearing this, Ma Sanping's eyes suddenly lit up, and his powdered face was full of smiles, "Ahh ”
After receiving Liu Xi's consent, Ma Sanping was in a good mood, and exchanged a few words with Liu Xi, only then did he say that he didn't dare to delay the business and got up to leave.
Naturally, when he left, Liu Xi recruited the boy scouts and others, and then told him what he wanted and these veterans who had become generals.
The soldiers of Yangqu City have a blood feud with the Huns, and it is definitely impossible for the two sides to act without swords and guns, so it is the scene where the leader of the troops takes a good time to make it seem that the two sides are about to meet, but the Huns can escape.
After carefully studying the place where the Xiongnu army was stationed and the route of the Xiongnu evacuation, Liu Xi and the others already had an idea in their hearts.
Liu Xi ordered the Scouts and others to arrange for the dispatch of troops, while he repaired a book, wrote out the detailed plan, and handed it over to Qu Lang, so that he could quickly send it to Sidon.
Because of the need to send troops to the Xiongnu, the camp has become a bit lively, many of the soldiers are native children of Yangqu City, they have experienced the miserable scene of the Xiongnu going south, they have naturally had resentment in their hearts, they have been trained for a long time, and they are no longer weak and can't help the appearance of the year, and now they want to fight against the Huns again, all of them want to kill more enemies to comfort the souls of their relatives in the sky.
Standing in the corridor, Liu Xi could hear the excited words in the school yard, and the thick eyebrows of the flying stars were twisted into a ball.
These soldiers have always had an enmity with the Huns, if the Li Tang court persecuted too tightly, Liu Xi was not 100% sure that they could use them to deal with the Li Tang army, and if they wanted to live alone, they must be strong enough to make the Tang Emperor fearful, and they must rely on the Huns' army.
This time, thinking about it, how can I not make Liu Xi distressed.
Liu Xi, who couldn't think of an idea, sighed, rubbed his sore head and whispered, I hope everything is okay.
At night, Sidon took advantage of the darkness of the night and told Liu Xi that the Xiongnu side had been deployed and would act exactly according to the plan, retreating to the grassland while fighting.
After saying the battle, Seadon looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time, as if he had something to say, but it was difficult to speak.
"But something is going on?"
Hearing Liu Xi's question, Seaton blushed and whispered, "Teacher, it's a harsh winter, and the grassland is short of food and clothing, so the students are ......."
Patting his forehead, Liu Xi said with a smile, "Look at my memory, I thought about this two days ago, tomorrow I will let Xiaoquan prepare, and use the merchant to transport 500 stone of grain to the grassland, 3,000 pieces of jackets, I think you can temporarily get through the pass, no matter how much food and jackets need time to raise, you can only wait for a later time to send them slowly." ”
With Liu Xi's words, Seaton was immediately full of gratitude, and hurriedly bent over with Liu Xi and bowed deeply, "Thank you, teacher." ”
Later, the master and apprentice talked about the scriptures again, and Liu Xi couldn't help but be quite happy when he heard that Sidon could say some truth in many things.
And Seaton has always regarded Liu Xi as the smartest person in the world, and if he can listen to Liu Xi's teachings tonight, he will naturally listen to it meticulously.
Therefore, the two of them almost lost track of time, until Ju'er came to pick up Sidon back.
Outside the house, the cold wind was blowing, Ju'er was holding a blue pattern flower jacket in her hand, Liu Xi took a look, it didn't seem to be too thick, it should be afraid that the leather cotton clothes of the Huns were too eye-catching, so they were added in Yangqu City.
"Xun'er, take my white coat, it's cold, Seadon's body is weak, don't catch the cold."
Sidon's face was panicked, "Don't ...... teacher"
Liu Xi waved his hand, "Why not, you and I are masters and apprentices, so we don't need so many courtesies." ”
After a while, Tian Xun'er brought the big clothes and dressed them for Sidon, and the wide clothes wrapped Sidon's thin body well.
Seeing this, Liu Xi smiled and nodded, "That's good." ”
Sidon inevitably made another salute, said goodbye to Liu Xi and Tian Xun'er, and when he was about to leave, Liu Xi thought about it and called him, "I'm not in the city these days, you can go to the academy to listen to the lectures, and if you don't understand something, go to find Brother Mengjue." ”
"The student made a note of it."
After Seaton left, Liu Xi glanced at the plan he had made during the day, and after he was familiar with it, he went back to the room with Tian Xun'er to rest.
The next day, Liu Xi personally led the army out of the city, and the people watched from the road, which was naturally a sensation, and it was not until ten miles outside the city that the crowd dispersed.
"My lord, the spies came to report that the Hun camp had retreated five miles."
In front of everyone, the boy scout still followed Liu Xi's meaning and called him an adult, not a young master, so as not to attract the suspicion of others.
Five miles back, this is a code from Sidon to Liu Xi, that is, they are ready.
In this way, Liu Xi immediately responded with a smile, "The whole army will attack, follow my horse on the grassland!" ”
The cheers shook the sky, and the horse's hooves swept away.
