Chapter 51: Two Places

The rain kept falling, and this autumn rain was endless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only the Anhe, but even the plain town was drenched in mud.

"Heavenly King, Heavenly King, be careful of the wind and cold." Tao Zisi chased after him with his coat held up, leaving a long series of deep footprints on the ground.

Early in the morning, Li Chengcheng came out to patrol the camp with his whole body draped.

The rain fell on his face and on his armor, and flowed down into a stream.

In the large camp, one group of soldiers after another shuttled back and forth, solemn and silent.

Li Cheng pushed Tao Zisi away and said with a smile: "No, since I started the army, I haven't encountered any wind and frost swords, and a little rain can't hurt me." He pointed to the soldiers patrolling the camp and said, "Others can get drenched in the rain, but I can't get drenched?" ”

"But, Heavenly King, what kind of noble status are you?"

"Identity, I'm a battlefield fighter, what identity do I have. It's not the emperor's noble. By the way, I'm now the catcher of the Great Song Dynasty, hehe, to put it bluntly, I'm also a soldier. When you come out to patrol the camp, it is difficult to put on a big show. What did the soldiers say? People are people, and I'm not people? Li Cheng laughed, and said while arching his hand to the soldier standing next to him: "If the pomp and circumstance can help us win, I might as well put it on a swing, the question is, is this useful?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Tao Zisi choked.

Li Cheng: "If Mr. Tao is cold, you can go back to the tent to roast the fire." ”

Tao Zisi was helpless: "The subordinates are not cold. "But in his heart, he secretly complained, he was a scribe, and all the way through, he was soaked in cold all over his body. Moreover, the whole body was splashed with mud spots, and it was really dirty.

It's really a chore to follow Li Tianwang to patrol the camp!

After walking for a long time, he finally finished walking everywhere in the army, and Li Cheng finally felt at ease. As soon as he and Tao Zisi arrived, the wooden floor in the house was full of mud footprints, and the two of them couldn't care so much, so they sat in front of the stove and let the stove fire roast all over their bodies.

Li Cheng saw that Tao Zisi's pale face finally regained its ruddyness, and said with concern: "Mr. Tao, you won't come with me for this kind of patrol work in the future." I'm strong, and if it's not tight, you can't stand it as a scholar. ”

Tao Zisi smiled bitterly: "Since even the Heavenly King has gone out, it is not good for me to stay alone in the house." The so-called undressing me, pushing food and eating me, the king of heaven regards the soldiers as his own, and the soldiers are grateful for your kindness, so they naturally kill themselves to repay. The king of heaven leads the troops, and there is a great wind of Wu Qi and Sun Wu! Subordinates admire. ”

Li Cheng laughed: "I haven't read many books, and I don't recognize who Wu Qi and Sun Wu are." A certain person was born in a rough man, and there is only one righteous word in his heart. Although there are strict hierarchies in the army, although it is forbidden to be ordered, everyone is in robes. What is called robe, that is a comrade-in-arms, a brother. Brother drenched, hungry, cold, you have to accompany you. ”

This smile is really heroic.

After laughing, Li Cheng said again: "Lan Ruo's side fought a beautiful victory, this Lan Ruo." No, no, no, this Wang Daosi, the straight lady thief is really a peerless countryman! ”

He slapped his thigh fiercely, and happily grabbed him with his hand: "Zhang Deyuan's subordinates, how many are evil!" is worthy of being a ruler from a famous family. The Wang Daosi he trained first broke the 10,000 thief army with a rabble of 200, and now led 300 horsemen to directly cut off Li Yu's head. At this point, the entire Huaixi was firmly controlled by the officials and soldiers. Not only Liu Guangshi, but even the officials in Jiankang City were greatly relieved, and this credit was great. ”

Tao Zisi smiled and said: "Wang Daosi has made such a meritorious achievement, and it is not a cavalry army that you are brave and good at fighting. In this battle, the court and the people of the world know the power of the Heavenly King. I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......," he dragged out.

Li Cheng frowned: "What are you afraid of?" ”

Tao Zisi: "I'm afraid that the King of Heaven, the Huaibei Great Capture and Killing Envoy, will not be able to do it anymore, and I can't say what title I want to add, and in two more years, I will open my teeth and build a mansion, and it will be okay to proclaim and appease the party." ”

"Haha!" Li Cheng laughed proudly, and he was not modest: "If the official family has a certain place to serve the country, it is the best to do it." It's just, it's just ......"

"What else does the Heavenly King have to worry about?"

Li Cheng suddenly looked depressed: "It's just that so-and-so can't bear to think about Wang Daosi." ”

Seeing Li Cheng's regretful appearance, Tao Zisi suddenly felt a strong jealousy in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "If the King of Heaven wants to use Wang Shen, wait until the court rewards him, but he can go to Zhang Xiang to ask for it, but it's just a mere doorman, don't worry." ”

Li Cheng: "In the past, Wang Shen's nationality was unknown, like a sword hidden in a box, and if you ask for it at that time, it may be done." Now, Wang Daosi's battle shook the entire Huaixi, the sword has been unsheathed, and the brilliance is dazzling, is Zhang Jun willing to let go? Let's send a letter to Lan Ruo and prepare a generous gift to thank others. Ordered the cavalry battalion to hurry up and rest, it is time to bring the main force to attack, Zisi, you immediately take a charter out, and think about how to move next. ”

Tao Zisi was relieved: "It should be, it should be." ”

Li Cheng said again: "Li Yu's head is probably also sent to Liu Guangshi now, but he forgot to ask for credit for Wang Daosi from Uncle Liu Ping." ”

Tao Zisi: "The king of heaven can rest assured, the situation of this battle has been written in detail in the letter, if Liu Guangshi is not blind, he can naturally see that Wang Shen should be the first to take the lead." ”

Li Cheng smiled: "That's good, that's good." So he stretched out his hand and rubbed it vigorously on his trouser leg.

His trouser legs were full of mud, and they were all dried by the fire, and they rustled to the ground.

Tao Zisi is a literati who likes to be clean, and he can't help it anymore, and said in a loud voice: "Come on, change clothes for the king." Also, this place needs to be cleaned as well. ”

*******************************************************

"The desert is cold and goes up to the small building. Xiaoyin is a scoundrel like a poor autumn. The light smoke and flowing water paint the screen. ”

"The free flying flowers are as light as a dream, and the boundless rain is as thin as sorrow. The curtain hangs with a small silver hook. ”

The boundless rain fell one after another, enveloping the entire Huaixi land.

Unlike the blood-stained and muddy Anhe River and Pingyuan Town, in Tianchang County, the bluestone pavement on the street and the green tiles on the roof were washed by the rain, which made people can't help but light up their eyes.

The flowers and trees in the courtyard are still green, and the air is so fresh.

With the blazing flames and tragic screams, the corpse of the pillow seemed to belong to another world.

In the flower hall, a musician tapped his tooth wrench, and the woman sitting next to her gently flicked her white and slender fingers, and after a long passage through the door, she suddenly opened her mouth, and her crisp singing voice pierced through the clouds and cracked stones. As straight as the kite in the clear sky, it rose leisurely, straight up beyond the white clouds, but it was bound by a silk thread, wanting to break it and connect it, hooking away the soul and ears of the people.

At this moment, Liu Guangshi and Li Qiong, the commanders of the Huai army of Jiangdong Xuanfu, were all flashing with brilliance in their eyes.

Both men wore military attachΓ© robes, wore high crowns, and their hair and beards were neatly groomed.

The red sandalwood furniture in the flower hall has been boiled, the fine porcelain tea set is shining, and the air is filled with a warm fragrance.

Liu Guangshi didn't expect that the mediocre-looking and even a somewhat older woman in front of him would have such a good singing voice. Her beautifully manicured nails really pinched the softest part of the human heart.

The wind and moon in front of him made Xiao Liu return to Tokyo in the year of Xuanhe in an instant. At that time, my father was still alive, and the Genyue built by Emperor Daojun was still alive. On the fifteenth day of each month, when my father is resting, the family will invite a few courtesans. It is also the same as today in the flower hall, the windows are wide open, the scenery outside is in full view, and the clouds made of calamine on the Gen Yue are rising.

It was a good time.

There's no going back.

……

If you can't go back, you can't go back, it's early autumn, the light rain in Jianghuai, the flowers and trees are still green, but it is a different scenery from the north, and it is a beautiful thing to grow old here.

In addition to the bandits everywhere, there are also Jurchens who are about to go south.

However, let's cherish the beauty of today!

……

After all, this courtesan is from Tokyo, and her singing skills are excellent, and Liu Guangshi has been completely addicted to it since she got it in the hands of Li Qiong. National handicraft skills, even in peaceful years, are not often seen. Liu Guangshi made a "Bodhisattva Man" a few days ago and wanted to find someone to sing it to listen to, but after seeing this woman's singing skills, he dispelled this idea.

Naturally, the best lyrics must be sung with an excellent singing voice, and only Xiao Yan's works are worthy of it.

In the soft singing, Liu Guangshi and Li Qiong completely relaxed, and even the officials and guards beside the waiter were lazy, as if they were softened by the drizzle and wind for several days.

Since the Jinan thief Li Yu couldn't stay in Shandong and went south to Jianghuai to eat, the Huaixi Army has not had such a peaceful life for a long time. Especially after knowing that Li Yu made a detour to Hongze Lake to plagiarize the rear of the Huaixi Army, the whole army was in a state of extreme tension.

If the sky is long, the door of Yangzhou is open, which is a direct threat to the official family, and no one can afford this responsibility.

So, everyone hurried over day and night. Who knows, even worse news came, the strategic point of Pingyuan Town was robbed by Li Cheng, this is a more vicious enemy than Li Yu. The thought of the upcoming showdown with this murderer on the battlefield made everyone cramp in their stomachs. Who did not suffer under him before.

Fortunately, Li Cheng was recruited by the imperial court, which really made people breathe a sigh of relief.

In the Huaixi Army, there was a gossip spread. Zhang Jun and Zhang Deyuan had a doorman named Wang Daosi who rode across the river alone, saying that he had surrendered the infamous Li Cheng and Li Tianwang, which contributed to this recruitment and went to a big enemy for the Huaixi army.

Now, he persuaded Li Cheng to lead 300 cavalry to Li Yu's old camp, and was willing to be a pawn for Captain Liu.

100,000 Jinan thieves are not so easy to deal with, and Wang Daosi will be defeated.

However, since he is in the way in front, whether he wins or loses, it is Li Cheng's men who die, and it has nothing to do with us. At the very least, we can have a few days of peaceful birthdays.

If Li Cheng is defeated, it will not be too late to change my Huaixi Army.

This is true of the soldiers, and so are the two commanders in the flower hall. I can get by, as long as the anger of the official family does not pour out on my head, it is the idea of the entire Huaixi army.

At the end of the song, Liu Guangshi smiled and said: "Today is not very happy, national treasure, you can order another song card." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, followed by a chaotic footsteps.

Liu Guangshi frowned, Li Qiong stood up and asked, "What's the matter, why is it so chaotic?" ”

Before the words fell, a sturdy general strode into the flower hall: "Tai Lieutenant, General Li Qiong, shame on you!" ”

The person who came was none other than Wang Dewang Yasha, the first fierce general of the Huaixi Army, who was holding a large wooden box in his hand, and his dark face was full of shame and excitement. Behind him was a group of officials from the Xuanfu Division.

Liu Guangshi: "What's wrong?" ”

Wang De said loudly: "Li Cheng urgently reported that Wang Shen led three hundred light cavalry to raid Li Yu's old camp, and he has won a complete victory. Now, Li Thief has been awarded the head, and the Jinan army has been defeated. ”
