One hundred and sixty-four heavens descend from the sky
It was getting late, Fang Li led the team into Wancheng, Zhou Yu set up a banquet to entertain him, and Zhao Yun, Chen Deng, Guan Ying, Cao Zhen and other generals and officials of Nanyang County all attended.
When the planning was staggered, a woman suddenly broke into the banquet, knelt down in front of Fang Li's table, and kowtowed and pleaded: "I have heard that Tang Gong is magnanimous and governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and the little girl has come to seek a way to live for her father!" ”
Fang Li put down the wine in his hand, glanced at the woman kneeling in front of him, only to see that his eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and his heroic posture was cool, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Who are you, get up and speak?" ”
"If you go back to the lord, this daughter is Jiang Cuiping, the daughter of the original Shenhou." Before the woman kneeling on the ground could answer, the baby had already stood up and rushed to make an introduction.
Fang Li suddenly had an epiphany; "Oh...... It turned out to be the daughter of Jiang Hou, your father has no worries about food and clothing in Xingyang, don't worry! ”
Guan Ying interceded for Jiang Cuiping: "Lord, Miss Jiang's filial piety is commendable, and she has made a lot of efforts to save her father for our Tang Kingdom, and I hope that the lord can release Shenhou for the sake of Miss Jiang's filial piety." ”
Fang Li nodded: "My Tang Kingdom is now at the time of employing people, Jiang Hou can be literate and martial, and he is a usable talent." If Miss Jiang can persuade Jiang Hou to return to the Tang Dynasty, the widow is willing to canonize him as An Pingjun and serve my Tang Dynasty. ”
"Thank you Don for your kindness!"
Jiang Cuiping bowed to Fang Liji, kowtowed a few times in a row, and then got up and thanked Guan Ying: "Thank you General Guan for interceding for my father, Cui Ping is unforgettable." ”
Fang Li asked Jiang Cuiping that he was still waiting for the word boudoir, so he made a decision with a wave of his hand: "I see that there is love in the eyes of the two of you, and the widow will be a matchmaker, can you two become husband and wife?" ”
When the baby heard this, he smiled and couldn't close his mouth: "Miss Jiang's martial arts are extraordinary, women don't let her eyebrows, she has been in love with her ministers for a long time, if Miss Jiang can agree to this marriage, it will be better!" ”
"The little girl is willing to obey Tang Gong's arrangement." Jiang Cuiping's cheeks were red with shame, and she couldn't help lowering her handsome face.
The civil and military forces in the hall coaxed one after another: "Let General Guan pick up a big bargain, tonight's wine feast will be deducted from his money, and it will also save some expenses for the treasury of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Guan Ying's face almost smiled, patted his chest and said: "I please, I please, this wine feast is mine, I invite it for three days in a row, and all colleagues can drink happily." ”
Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, drank a drunken party, and did not disperse until late at night.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Fang Li took Dian Wei, Jian Yong and others to bid farewell to the generals of Wancheng and embarked on the journey south to Yingdu, striving to marry Miyue and Yu Ji back to Xingyang as soon as possible.
After the team passed Xinye, the number of forks gradually increased, and in order to avoid taking the wrong and wrong way, Fang Li ordered to find soldiers who were familiar with the geography of Jingchu in the army to come out as guides.
A slightly chubby Wu Chang stood up and recommended himself: "Qi Tang Gong, the villain Sun Xiao has been in the army in Chu for many years, and he knows the environment of Jing Chu well, and he is willing to be a guide." ”
"Oh...... You have been in the army in the Chu State for many years, and it stands to reason that you should have a certain position, why did you suddenly come to our Tang State to be the commander of the army? Fang Li looked puzzled.
Sun Xiao said respectfully; "Don't hide it from Tang Gong, the villain was named a military candidate when he was serving under General Xiang Yi, and he was in charge of five hundred soldiers, but because he recommended a fellow villager to General Xiang, he annoyed General Xiang and was demoted to the commander of the tun. The villain was angry, so he had to take the initiative to leave Chu Ying, go north to join the Tang Dynasty, and was promoted to captain by his boss. ”
Fang Li was even more puzzled: "Hehe...... This excuse is also true, it's a good thing to recommend talents, even if you don't accept it, there is no need to demote you, right? ”
Sun Xiao shook his head depressedly and sighed: "The person recommended by the villain is not small, he is familiar with military books and is full of the art of war, but his life is stained, so he is often ridiculed." ”
"Familiar with military books, full of the art of war?"
Fang Li was a little interested in the person Sun Xiao said, "If you really have the ability, even if there are some stains, it's not bad, is he greedy for money or lustful?" ”
Sun Xiao smiled bitterly: "My fellow countryman once drilled into other people's crotch, so he was often ridiculed. General Xiang Yi also despised me as a fellow villager because of this, which caused the villain to be affected. ”
"Are you talking about Han Xin?" Fang Li was shocked.
The plank road is dark, the backwater array, and the more the merrier...... Han Xin, who had created a series of strategies, was only one Sun Xiao away from Tang Guo, this was a commander who was even more powerful than Wu Qi, and Fang Li's blood boiled all of a sudden.
"If you can recruit Han Xin as the main general, supplemented by Zhou Yu and Cao Cao, why worry that the Tang Dynasty can't rise, why should you be afraid of Bai Qi?" Fang Li's eyes flashed with excitement.
But Sun Xiao looked even more shocked than Fang Li: "How did Your Majesty know that my fellow countryman is called Han Xin?" ”
After listening to Sun Xiao's question, Fang Li hurriedly calmed down his surging mood, and became wise in a hurry; "Oh...... A few days ago, a friend of Chu wrote to me to recommend Han Xin, so the widow guessed that the person you said was Han Xin. ”
Sun Xiao looked surprised, and said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect that someone in the Chu State would appreciate Han Xin's talent, it's really surprising!" ”
Fang Li said solemnly: "My friend also said in the letter that Han Xin is familiar with military books and is proficient in the art of war, and my Tang Dynasty is at the time of employing people, if Han Xin is willing to vote, he will definitely be reused, I don't know where he is now?" ”
"If you go back to the lord, Han Xin has already returned to his hometown Huaiyin half a month ago." Sun Xiao replied respectfully.
One of the most handsome talents in Chinese history is close at hand, Fang Li naturally didn't want to miss it, and instructed Sun Xiao: "Since this is the case, then you can take someone to Huaiyin's hometown and help the widow recruit Han Xin to Xingyang, and there will be a heavy reward." ”
Sun Xiao was overjoyed and thanked him: "The lord looks down on Han Xin so much, and the villain is willing to go back to Huaiyin." ”
Fang Li immediately ordered Ma Pi and Cao Fei to lead more than a dozen elite people to dress up in disguise, and followed Sun Xiao to Wu Guo Huaiyin to recruit Han Xin and invite him to come to Tang State.
Before leaving, Fang Li repeatedly told Ma Pi and Cao Fei: "You two must remember that even if you want to tie up, you must tie Han Xin to Xingyang." If you really can't tie it up, then kill me to prevent future troubles! ”
Ma Pi and Cao Fei's faces turned pale when they heard this, and they really didn't understand why the dignified Tang monarch was so serious about a spineless guy, or even so jealous, it was really incomprehensible.
But it is the duty of these guards to act under orders, and the two of them naturally will not resist, and they will brush their fists together to receive the order: "My lord, please rest assured, if the two of us can't bring Han Xin's people back to Xingyang, then bring his head back to Xingyang!" ”
Only then did Fang Li put his mind at ease, waved his hand and ordered: "Bring more people, this trip to Huaiyin is only allowed to succeed and not fail, and those who can't bring back Han Xin will bring back their heads to the widow!" ”
