Chapter 35: Enjoying the Night
Li Yuan saw a person dismount and bow down, he didn't know where, hurriedly dismounted, picked up and said, "It's good to come back!" ”
Huang Shao got up, and as soon as he heard this extremely simple answer, his eyes immediately flooded, and before he could say a few more words of gratitude, two people said in unison: "The grass people meet the general!" ”
Li Yuan looked for the sound and found that the two saluted, and as the two saluted, more than 300 people behind them knelt down one after another. He also knew that this would be his own soldiers and horses in the future, and said affectionately: "Get up!" After a long journey, everyone went to the city to eat and drink first. ”
Li Yuan didn't let go of Huang Shao's arm from beginning to end, and only listened to him introduce: "General, this is Qingzhou Guanhai, Hebei Wenchou, all of whom are strong in martial arts. ”
When Li Yuan heard the word Wen Chou, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Okay!" Remembering your merits, you will be appointed as a fake Sima in the future. ”
Huang Shao was overjoyed and bowed: "General Xie, the last general." "Although there are differences between the two joys, they are also different paths to the same end.
Li Yuan suppressed his excitement and instructed He Man to settle the three hundred men and horses, and he took everyone back to his residence.
The hall was lit with oil lamps, as bright as day, and the people sat down in turn.
When he looked at Guan Hai, he was suddenly a little surprised, he thought that this guy was at least eight feet away, and he didn't think much of his short stature, just like himself.
If he hadn't heard of his name earlier, he wouldn't have believed that this person who looked like a farmer could fight Guan Hai, who had fought Guan Yu for more than 30 years.
The ugly man is as his name suggests, ugly!
He fought with Guan Yu in three combinations, and was killed because he retreated because of his cowardice, and the one who died was called a dog's blood.
Any military general who fought with Guan Yu, as long as he survived the first few rounds, he would be sure that nothing would happen.
"Today, there are two tiger generals, which is really a blessing for the court and a blessing for this general." Li Yuan raised the wine cup, "Come, two strong men, please drink this cup." ”
Wen Chou and Guan Hai raised their heads and poured in, and Li Yuan smiled: "Come again!" ”
Li Yuan was in a very happy mood, and it was an unexpected joy to get Wen Chou.
Wen Chou seemed to have drunk a few glasses of wine, let go of his temperament a little, and said, "General, when can we kill the enemy?" ”
Li Yuan said with a smile: "Liangzhou is chaotic, there is a time when you fight and make meritorious contributions." ”
Wen Chou drank another glass and said, "That dare to be kind." ”
"This is my second brother Dian Wei, the position of the modern chief of history, you will work under his account first." Li Yuan said.
Guan Hai hurriedly agreed, but Wen Chou said: "My lord, I also want to lead the army to fight alone." ”
When Huang Shao heard this, he frowned and shouted: "Wen Chou, don't be rude." ”
Wen Chou ignored him and just looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan secretly said that this was a thorn in the head, and explained: "You two have just arrived, if you are promoted immediately, I am afraid that the public will not accept it." Wait a while, establish military exploits, don't say it's Sima, even generals can do it. ”
Wen Chou's eyes lit up and said, "Thank you, sir." ”
This wine was drunk for half an hour, everyone was drunk, the wine banquet was dispersed, and everyone fell asleep.
Only Li Yuan sat in front of the steps, the snow in the deep winter had not yet melted, the cold was still there, and the sky and the earth were cold and deserted......
The four seasons have turned, and they have survived thousands of winds; The rise and fall of the times are inseparable from firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Li Yuan was happy about the arrival of Wen Chou and Guan Hai, but this matter was like a key to open his sorrows, just like a river of spring water......
As the night gradually approached dawn, he also returned to the house from the front of the stairs, stepped on his back, and his mind lingered, without the slightest sleepiness.
At dawn, Li Yuan led his troops to travel on the Guanzhong Plain, the west wind was strong, the flags were waving, whistling and arrogant, and the speed of travel was much slower.
"I'll wait there for a while." Li Yuan pointed to a high slope ahead.
When the horse is beaten first, he comes to the bottom of the slope, gets off the horse, climbs the high slope, and sends his eyes away, and the population is sparse.
Dian Wei also followed, but the pair of heavy halberds were placed on the carriage, but there was still a pair of small halberds to protect their backs, their sabers were inserted into their waists, and their steps were wide open and closed, without any effort in the strong wind: "Big brother, what do you see?" ”
He was about to answer, but he saw Wen Chou and the others also coming up, so he waited for them for a while, and after they all came up, he said: "Just now, the chief Shi asked me what I was watching, do you know what I was looking at?" ”
He Man stared at the triangular eyes and glanced ahead, there was nothing special, and he wondered: "What's there to see?" ”
He saw the puzzled faces of these martial artists, a little creepy, these generals who withdrew from the historical stage in advance, gathered around him one by one, and said: "I didn't hope to hold the festival Su Wu, I didn't watch the great Jiang Yan, but the battle in Guanzhong in the future." ”
Wen Chou was puzzled with a hint of excitement, and said, "General, will the Qiang people still come in?" ”
Li Yuan smiled at him and said, "Who knows? Even if you can't beat it, someone will fight. ”
Li Yuan glanced at everyone and said, "I, Li Yuan, lack martial arts, and my resourcefulness is low. As the saying goes, 'a single tree does not make a forest, and a single filament does not become a thread', as long as you are by my side, I don't have to worry about big things. ”
"I'm waiting for the general to go to the soup and go to the fire."
Seeing them swear one by one, Li Yuan felt quite funny, I am afraid that what he said will become an official in the eyes of everyone.
He laughed and laughed, louder and louder, and everyone was unaware, and they laughed too. The soldiers down the slope didn't know what was happening, and looked at the mountain strangely one by one.
At noon, the wind slowed down and seemed tired.
Everyone got on the horse, but after the morning scene, Li Yuan was not in a hurry to leave.
As we walked, we came to a ruined village. The village is not old, there are not many ruins, but it is no longer inhabited.
Last year's bones had not yet been cleaned up, and the village where they had lived for generations had disappeared together, and several cries came slowly from far and near, and Li Yuan's breathing tightened.
The three teenagers came crying, thin and filthy, and they couldn't tell how big they were.
"Why are you children crying?" Li Yuan heard his own soldier ask such a question, and glanced at him, isn't this nonsense?
The three children never thought that they would encounter the army, and they fled in a hurry when asked by this.
"Shouyi and I will go and see what is going on, and the rest will wait here."
Li Yuan and Dian Wei quickly caught up with the three teenagers and blocked them under a broken wall, Li Yuan saw their eyes flashing, and said, "Don't be afraid, I am Li Yuan, the captain of the Qiang Guard." ”
Seeing that they did not say a word, he said, "What about your parents?" ”
Tears flowed from the three teenagers' particularly dry eyes, and they passed over their thin little faces, weeping to themselves, and not answering.
Dian Wei saw that they didn't speak, and said in a loud voice: "What are you crying about?" What about your parents? ”
Not to mention, this roar still worked, and one of the slightly taller teenagers said, "It's all dead." ”
"Then why are you crying?" Li Yuan asked.
The young man said again, "Uncle Yan has passed away. ”
Li Yuan knew everything he knew, and he already knew what was going on, and said, "There is a shortage of a few people around me who are waiting, so you can follow me in the future!" ”
The young man seemed to be a little dissatisfied, as if he wanted to say something, but he was glared at by Dian Wei, and he was frightened back, so he had to follow them back, and the other two, mainly with him, followed one after another.
This is just a small episode, three teenagers are sitting on the grain cart, holding Hu Biscuits in their hands, eating nonsense.
Li Yuan was talking to Guan Hai, and when he saw this scene behind him, he was in a good mood.
