Chapter 47: A Fight
The army slowly moved south, and Li Zhenggu did not seem to be in a hurry. He only walked thirty miles a day, and although it was said that he had to wait for the rear baggage, the speed of such a march was not fast. The soldiers are very fast, and they don't show it at all in Li Zhenggu.
Yao Feng, Li and others had a lot of discussions, and they couldn't guess what Li Zhenggu was thinking. Yang Lian, Lin Renzhao, and Chen Tie also discussed privately, and they all felt that this battle was mostly a cover. It took more than ten days for the army to arrive in Changzhou. Changzhou is a special place for Yang Lian. It was here that he saved the county lord of Huairou and started a new life.
Li Zhenggu stationed outside the city of Changzhou, claiming that he was waiting for the baggage, after all, the three armies had not moved, and the grain and grass went first! How can we fight without food? Although Changzhou has also hoarded a lot of grain, it is far from enough.
On the second day after they were stationed, Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao jogged with their soldiers again, still with sandbags tied to their bodies, and the soldiers of the Shenwu Army were just used to it. However, when the robes of the Tianxiong Army saw it, they couldn't help but talk about it, this group of people is crazy. Yang Lian and the others were used to the ridicule of others, so they didn't care about him. After running for half an hour and coming back, Yang Lian was covered in sweat, so he went back to the camp to rest.
As soon as he walked outside the Shenwu Army's station, he heard someone scolding, accompanied by the neighing of war horses. The voice of the war horse was so familiar, Yang Lian's face changed, and he walked over quickly. When I arrived at the stable, I saw a black-faced man leading Yang Lian's black horse out. The black horse didn't recognize the man, twisted his head and snorted desperately, but the man had a lot of strength and was dragged out.
When Yang Lian saw it, he immediately became angry, who is this person? Dare to grab a horse? It's really alive. Yang Lian didn't care who he was, grabbed a few steps, punched the man in the face, and suddenly let out a wail, and the man's nostrils were bleeding.
"Straight lady thief, who are you, dare to steal Lao Tzu's war horse!" Yang Lian shouted loudly, shaking people's eardrums with faint pain.
The man came back to his senses, touched the blood on his nose, and shouted: "You are a little general, you dare to fight this general......"
Yang Lian didn't wait for him to finish, he punched and hit. He had trained hard, and his body was as strong as a calf, and the punch was struck again, and the man staggered a few steps, and slammed his head against the sharp wood of the stable, and was dripping with blood. Yang Lian didn't care about him, he beat him to death with a pair of iron fists, at this time he took the courtesy, he was not afraid at all, as long as he didn't kill people.
The man was dazed by the beating, and he didn't know when Yang Lian stopped, led the war horse back to the stable, and ordered the soldiers to say something. The man secretly spat out, lowered his head, and slipped away in a puff of smoke under the gaze of everyone.
A well-wisher came to remind Yang Lian and said: "That person is Chen Decheng of the Tianxiong Army, and his official position is the head of the capital, so General Yu Hou should be careful." ”
Yang Lian arched his hand and said, "Thank you, brother, it's just that no matter whether that person is the head or the commander, it is really delusional to want to snatch things from me." ”
Some people don't understand Yang Lian's identity, and think to themselves, how can you, a general Yu Hou, confront the head and the commander? It seems that this person is just a stunned young man, and he immediately sighed and left.
Yang Lian ignored him, still practicing in the school field, and when he was approaching, the shouting sounded, and a group of people rushed over like a tsunami, and someone shouted: "Who is Yang Lian?" ”
Lin Renzhao glanced at Yang Lian, shook his head, and motioned for him not to go out.
Zhou Hongzuo listened to it very well and asked, "Which part are you waiting for, and what are you doing here?" ”
"Yang Lian injured my family's head, and asked him to get out and die immediately." The man was very arrogant.
Zhou Hongzuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Yang Lian said: "That man wanted to rob my horse, so he beat him." ”
A different color flashed in Zhou Hongzuo's eyes, although Nantang Chengping has been peaceful for a long time, and his promotion mostly depends on seniority, but after all, he is a capital head, Yang Lian actually dares to beat him, and he is not small. Zhou Hongzuo is not a person who is afraid of things, so he immediately sneered and shouted: "Come on, open the door, I want to see, what do they want to do?" ”
Several soldiers opened the camp gate, Zhou Hongzuo nodded, and said, "You can handle the matter yourself." But you have to remember that you can't lose the face of the Shenwu Army. ”
Yang Lian responded, clenched his fists and walked out, Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie were a little uneasy and followed behind.
"I'm Yang Lian." Yang Lian looked at the person closest to him and reported his name.
"Wow, you hit my family on the head, how are you going to calculate this account?" The man asked, his eyes grim.
"Hit and beat, who are you, can you stand out for Chen Decheng?" Yang Lian sneered.
"I am the head of the capital, and the general Yu Hou Lei Zhen." The man identified himself.
"It turned out that I was in a hurry to show my loyalty, but I was afraid that you didn't have the ability." Yang Lian sneered.
"You ......" Lei Zhen was furious and was about to speak, Yang Lian snorted coldly and raised his fist to fight.
Lei Zhen was taken aback, he didn't expect Yang Lian to do it so quickly, and at such a fast speed. Caught off guard, the old face was hot, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.
"Tell you to steal my horse." Yang Lian drank heavily, taking advantage of the truth while fighting.
When the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army on the side saw that Lei Zhen was beaten, they were stunned at first, and then rushed up with a ghost scream.
"Beat them up." Chen Tie's hot-blooded young man, seeing that a group of people were about to beat Yang Lian, his head was hot, and he shouted.
"Beat them up!" The soldiers of the Shenwu Army shouted, they usually have nothing to do, they always have to have some fun, although the big war is imminent, but they are still in Changzhou, right? More than a dozen wolf-like soldiers of the Shenwu Army rushed up, most of them Yang Lian's subordinates, fighting with the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army.
Suddenly shouting, scolding, and screaming rang out, and in the melee, everyone beat each other, and some beat their own brothers, and the situation was very chaotic.
Zhou Hongzuo, who was in the distance, was taken aback, he didn't expect Yang Lian to say that he would fight, which drove everyone's emotions, and a group of people were fighting endlessly, which really made chickens and dogs jump.
In the scuffle, I don't know who shouted: "The privy deputy is here!" ”
But everyone was in full swing, and no one heard it, and they still mingled.
Li Zhenggu frowned slightly when he saw this scene, did this group of bastards start to fight before the battle was fought?
Gao Shensi was very displeased, who took the lead in beating people?
Zhu Kuangye's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, judging from this situation, it was the Tianxiong Army that suffered a loss, as the commander of the Tianxiong Army, he felt very embarrassed, no, this face had to find a way to get it back.
Li Zhenggu's own soldiers stepped forward and struggled to disperse the soldiers, Zhou Hongzuo saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward and ordered the soldiers to disperse. When everyone dispersed, in the center, Yang Lian was grabbing a person and beating him wildly, and the person was beaten and begged for mercy.
Yang Lian let go of his palm, and his palm was full of blood, which was the blood of Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen's hair was scattered, and his seven orifices were bleeding, and he looked very embarrassed. Yang Lian let go of him, and immediately felt happy in his heart, and said, "Thank you Yang Zhuangshi for not killing." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhenggu changed color slightly.
Gao Shensi's expression was complicated, and when he saw clearly that it was Yang Lian, he wondered in his heart, why was it, isn't this adding to the chaos? In any case, if Lei Zhen is beaten like this, he will inevitably be punished, but with his relationship with King Qi, Gao Xiansi is a little embarrassed. But after thinking about it, this matter still depends on Li Zhenggu, and when the time comes, he will plead for mercy, so that Yang Lian will be punished less, and King Qi will not blame himself.
Zhu Kuangye's eyes glanced at Gao Shensi, and seeing that he was pondering, he couldn't help but snort coldly, but he didn't say anything. Although he hated Yang Lian viciously, Lei Zhen was beaten and begged for mercy, which made him feel shameless. For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Yang Lian's eyes swept over Li Zhenggu, Gao Shensi, and Zhu Kuangye, strode forward, bowed his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Yang Lian, the Marquis of Yu, has seen the privy envoy and the commander of the army. ”
Zhu Kuangye's face changed slightly, like most people, when he heard Yang Lian's name, he was still extremely shocked, he looked at Yang Lian carefully, this person is not at all like the old prince of the previous dynasty.
However, Li Zhenggu narrowed his slender eyes, looked Yang Lian up and down, and saw that he was burly, and the scar on his face added a fierce atmosphere, so he immediately nodded and said, "You are Yang Lian?" Good, good. ”
As soon as these words came out, Gao Shensi couldn't help but glance at Li Zhenggu and wondered what was going on? Listening to Li Zhenggu's tone, something is wrong.
Zhu Kuangye chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. But he refused to give up, and sneered: "Yang Jiangyu Hou, you are really bold. ”
"Thanks to Zhu Tongjun's praise, the last general has no other advantages, that is, he is bolder, and he is not afraid of ghosts when he walks in the middle of the night." Yang Lian replied, climbed up the pole, and the angry Zhu Kuangye almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Li Zhenggu nodded and said, "Yang Lian, what's going on?" ”
Yang Lian told Chen Decheng how he stole the horse, how he was beaten, and said that Lei Zhen brought people to find trouble, and at the end, he said: "Privy envoy, although the last general is wrong, these people deceive people too much, not only stealing horses, but also breaking into the door." Although Yang Lian is not talented, he also knows that this matter is like defending the family and the country, if someone else knocks on the door, he is still weak and can be bullied, and if he does not resist to the death, the country will be ruined. ”
Yang Lian buttoned down his big hat, said that he was extremely aggrieved, and admitted his mistake, which greatly increased Li Zhenggu's favor. Gao Shensi was on the side, and nodded again and again, Yang Lian was neither humble nor arrogant, he spoke politely and politely, and Gao Shensi was very satisfied.
Zhu Kuangye's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "In this way, Yang Jiangyu Marquis has no mistake at all, but is a hero." ”
"Don't dare, the last general is just telling the truth. If Zhu Tongjun doesn't believe it, he can ask them, or he can ask Lei Zhen and Chen Decheng. Yang Lian said.
What kind of people his subordinates are, Zhu Kuangye naturally knows it, thinking of this, he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Li Zhenggu looked at Lei Zhen, saw that his face was covered with blood, his hair was scattered, and he looked miserable, and remembered that he begged for mercy again and again just now, and his heart was suddenly full of contempt. Although he is a literati, he has his own integrity in his heart, and he often compares it to Qingzhu, so he naturally has no good impression of Lei Zhen, but feels that Yang Lian is a good husband and a good man. It's just a little reckless, after all, he has not been in the army for a long time, and he still has the atmosphere of rivers and lakes.
Thinking of this, Li Zhenggu said: "Yang Lian, although there are extenuating circumstances at this time, but after all, you injured Lei Zhen, why don't you go and apologize?" ”
