Chapter 40: Sharing Joys and Sorrows
In the later generations of "Zhao Dufu", it was called "the main hall is like it makes the sky, and Zhu Lihe is Shuguang." After spending a month or two in the palace of King Zhao of the pen and the www.biquge.info of the winding of the pan and the flying beam of the rainbow", Mingyue has become accustomed to the life of inexhaustible use of good horses and treasured clothes, and thinks that she has seen the top luxury life in the world.
But after leaving Handan, he knew that the level of local tyrants in Pingyuanjun was not inferior to that of the Zhao royal family.
In the evening of the same day, they arrived at a ferry port on the bank of Zhangshui and camped to rest, Mingyue was just about to arrange for the cooks to cook, but Pingyuanjun said that there was no need.
Next, as if by magic, some vehicles of the Plains Jun family came one after another from a distance, and the people on the car carried a large food box down and placed it on the table......
Mingyue glanced at it, except for the fragrant Liang rice, it was full of delicious food, steamed fish and turtles, all of which took a long time to cook carefully.
He was very strange, there didn't seem to be a township around here, these things looked hot, obviously they had just been made, how did Pingyuanjun do it?
Mingyue raised her own questions.
Pingyuanjun patted his round belly and smiled: "More than ten miles away, there is one of my manors, because I want to spend the night at Zhangshui Ferry today, I don't have time to pass." But I've asked Pegasus to arrange the meal in advance, and I'll deliver it by car as soon as it's ready. ”
According to Pingyuanjun, in the next few days, there will be manors under his name in Pingyuanjun's name along the way, either they will go to stay together, or let the cooks who stay in the manor make food and send it over, and they can change their tricks and leave Zhao Guo all the way without worrying about food and clothing.
Pingyuanjun also has one of his crooked reasons: "In this way, everything you need along the way can be easily obtained, and you don't have to trouble the county and township pavilions to provide ......."
"Pingyuanjun, this is a field property in every county, and there are people left behind all year round."
After listening, the corners of Mingyue's mouth twitched, traveling with this richest man in the world who likes to enjoy is really a good choice, at least he will not suffer hardship.
"Nephew, Shu Qi, and Mr. Gongsun, come and eat, otherwise it will be cold!"
Pingyuanjun seemed to be the master, beckoning everyone to take a seat in the temporary table, Gongsun Long was no stranger to this, Mingyue also came to be safe, and after asking about the camping and accommodation arrangements for the large army, he also sat down under Pingyuanjun......
The bamboo mat is spread on the ground, the food is still hot on the small table, there are colorful cloth screens and flags decorated with feather and treasure next to it, watching the clear water flow slowly to the northeast, there are lush forests and bamboo on the shore, the smoke curls on the ferry side, and there are several fishing boats, which also have a wild interest.
This long trip is a bit of a hunting outing.
But when he looked up again, Mingyue frowned, because he saw that Zhao Kuo, who was in charge of the soldiers, also took off his helmet, lifted his armor, and sat cross-legged opposite him in a dignified manner, so he wanted to feast on the food on the table......
"Brackets." He said sternly.
Mingyue put down the dagger and stopped Zhao Kuo, who was about to bite a large piece of goose meat.
"Why are you here?"
Zhao Kuo had a piece of meat in his mouth, swallowed it quickly, and said innocently: "It was Pingyuan Jun who called me over......"
Mingyue's face was uncertain, and he was a little disappointed that Zhao Kuo did this.
Pointing to the table on the opposite side, Mingyue said in a reprimanding tone: "This is not where the bracket should be now. ”
Zhao Kuo restrained the soldiers, ran on the horse for most of the day, shouted for most of the day, thirsty and hungry, he was originally the age of blood and strength, and he was also a little angry at the moment, Chang Anjun really regarded him as an ordinary centurion?
He is Zhao Hao's son, the future Ma Fujun!
Zhao Kuo immediately patted the case and asked, "Then Chang Anjun thinks, where should I be?" ”
His tone was not good, and he confronted Chang Anjun, and the atmosphere of this "picnic" was destroyed.
Everyone at the table had different expressions, Pingyuan Jun touched his beard and was silent, and Gongsun Longxiao watched this scene with interest. Shu Qi was a little anxious, the three of them were still happy along the way, why did they look like they were going to quarrel now?
Mingyue was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Bracket should be with the soldiers in the barracks that has not yet been set up now!" ”
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and Mingyue continued: "Isn't Kuozi claiming to have memorized the "Art of War" backwards? Have you forgotten how Wu Qi treated the soldiers? ”
He stood up and said loudly: "I heard that when Wu Qi was just a general of the Wei State, he wore the same clothes and ate the same food as the lowest soldiers, slept without mattresses at night, did not ride on horses when marching, personally carried the bundled grain, shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and even sucked the concentrated liquid in the poisonous sores for the soldiers......"
These words made Ping Yuanjun a little disgusted, and Zhao Kuo lowered his head and let go of the chopsticks in his hand.
"Kuzi should know what effect Wu Zi has had when he led the troops like this, right?"
"I know."
Zhao Kuo said softly: "Wu Qi's soldiers are grateful for his kindness, and every time they fight, they will not turn their heels and swear to kill the enemy, so Wu Qi is punctual in Xihe of Wei State, and the Qin people dare not peep into half an inch of Xihe County." There are people at the time, there are 70,000 people, and who is the one in the world? Wu Qiye! ”
"Yes!"
Mingyue praised: "Wu Qi's soldiers, the world is not the same, this is mainly because he can win the heart of the soldiers, I don't want to let all the soldiers learn from Wu Zi, but when the soldiers eat brown rice soup, they are the main generals, but here they are delicious and delicious, but what?" ”
"No!"
Zhao Kuo stood up suddenly and said: "It is also said in "The Art of War of Wu Sun Tzu" that the pawn is regarded as a baby, so he can go to the deep stream with him; Treat the pawn as a child, so you can die with it! ”
He sincerely bent down towards Mingyue and said: "Chang'anjun's lesson is that Zhao Kuo is wrong, I have read this section of the art of war countless times in vain, but it has violated the good law of my predecessors when it comes to the end, thanks to Chang'anjun, I did not make a big mistake, today's events, Zhao Kuo should remember." ”
"So what should the brackets do now?"
Zhao Kuo's eyes looked at Mingyue, without the arrogance of Fang Cai, but full of conviction: "I will go back to the barracks, pull the rope with the soldiers, prop up the camp tent, and then eat the same food and sleep on the same straw mat with them!" ”
After saying that, he didn't look at the delicacies on the table again, put on his helmet, and strode away!
Not only that, but after walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and he stretched out his head into the grass, clasped two fingers in his throat, and spit out the few pieces of meat he had just swallowed!
After his stomach was empty, Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and walked away.
"Good brackets!" Mingyue laughed out loud, Shu Qi let go of the hilt of the sword in his hand, scratched his head and couldn't help laughing, but they also knew that Zhao Kuo was such a character.
Gongsun Long looked at his lord with a look of "sure enough", but saw that Ping Yuanjun's hand pinching his beard stopped again, obviously stunned by the scene just now.
It was poisonous sores and thick juice and spitting, and he couldn't eat it anymore, so he said to Mingyue: "Nephew, this eldest son of Ma Fujun's family has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he is extremely proud, even Ma Fujun can't talk about him, who expected, he will obey you!" ”
Mingyue sat back in her seat and said lightly: "I respect him like a brother, and he naturally treats me like a brother, he can listen to my good words, and he can change his mistakes, and he is very kind." ”
"Chang'anjun is too modest."
Gongsun Long interrupted Mingyue's self-effacing words, stared at him and said with a smile: "In my opinion, although Chang'anjun is young, he is like an old brother, and although the son of Ma Fujun is old, he is like a younger brother who listens to the instructions of the son......"
"I'm a brother, I'm a brother?"
Mingyue laughed: "Mr. Gongsun, you are laughing at this point, I am young, how dare I do this." ”
"It's not a joke."
Gongsun Long touched his beard and smiled silently, in fact, the metaphor he wanted to use was that Chang Anjun was like a horse trainer, and Zhao Kuo was like a foal that had just jumped out of the stable, unruly and untamable, and just wanted to run around with his heart. But under the lure of Chang Anjun with a handful of beans and the whipping with one hand, he bowed his head and began to move forward according to the trajectory that the master wanted.
I don't know, Mingyue thinks the same thing in her heart.
Looking at Zhao Kuo's resolute departure, Mingyue sighed unknowingly.
The cards that he can play at hand are this one for the time being, but even if he can become a bad horse or a thousand miles in the future, he doesn't even know!
Thinking of this, Mingyue beckoned the cook on her side to come over and instructed them: "Take some of the cured meat that you carried on the cart, just take the dried vegetables, boil a few large cauldrons of broth, and send it to the brackets and soldiers in a while, so that everyone can eat some meat." Just say that it was given by Chang'anjun, and when they get to Linzi, I will invite them to eat meat and eat to their heart's content! ”
