Chapter 204: Inability to Cooperate Happily (2)
Before Wang Shen stepped forward to salute, Lu Benzhong, who was beside him, let out a loud shout: "Yanping, Yanping, why are you here?" I haven't seen you for years, why are you old like this? I just met you, and I almost didn't recognize you! ”
Yes, compared with when they were separated many years ago, Li Heng is indeed much older. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Li Heng saw Lu Benzhong, his face was full of smiles: "The sun and the moon increase the longevity of the people, when I went to Tokyo to report on my work at the end of my term of office, I met Donglai and you for a while. When I said goodbye that day, almost ten years have passed, and I can't imagine that your demeanor is still the same. What, accident, right? You wrote to Zhang Deyuan and asked him to come over to recruit An Kong Yanzhou to clean up the Jianghan mess, you must never have expected me to come to Jingchu, right? ”
Hearing this, Wang Shen and the generals all sighed in their hearts, and immediately understood that Kong Yanzhou's idea of sending someone to ask Zhang Jun to surrender was from Lu Benzhong, and the letter was also written by him.
Wang Shen's face was still as pale as the scene, and the others were so angry that their faces were pale. Fortunately, the Sizhou army took the lead in taking Qichun, if it was one day in the evening, waiting for Zhang and Li to arrive, wouldn't everyone be busy for two months in vain, and pay such a big price?
Yue Yun was so angry that his teeth creaked, Chen Da and Wu Xianxian, the eyes of the two ruthless people were full of murderous energy, and even Hu Yantong was full of anger.
Lu Ben screamed badly, gave Li Heng a look again and again, and said busily: "Yanping, come on, let's introduce, this is General Wang Daosi, the defense envoy of Huangzhou." ”
Li Heng glanced at Wang Shen lightly this time, arched his hand slightly, and said: "It turns out that you are the envoy of Wang Shen Wang who crossed the river alone and said that he would surrender Li Cheng, sweep Huaixi, and lead the army to defend and repel the Jurchen enemy. The name of the general is really thunderous, and I thought you were a tall athlete like a cannibal, and I saw it today. Looking at Wang Shen's appearance, you are elegant and like a person in my famous religion. ”
Just before, he rode a fast horse and galloped all the way to Qichun. But it was still a step too late, and Qi Chuncheng was taken by Wang Shen cleanly.
Seeing Kong Yanzhou's head hanging at the city gate, Li Heng was completely furious. As soon as Kong Yanzhou died, his plan to use the Kong family army as an army that he could control single-handedly to pass through Jianghan could be said to have completely failed.
For Wang Shen, he was naturally extremely angry.
"Li Xianggong praised it falsely, Wang Shen is just an ordinary person, and he is not a three-headed and six-armed person, and he has admired Xianggong's name for a long time."
"Hehe, Jiu Yang, I'm afraid that before the old man came to Qichun, you didn't know who I was, right?" Li Heng was sarcastic.
Wang Shen suddenly had an evil fire rising in his heart, after Li Heng came to the barracks, he only cared about Lu Benzhong's old days, and it was obvious that the two had a good relationship. From beginning to end, he didn't look at himself squarely, and he put on full official authority, which shows that the person who came is not good.
He has commanded the Sizhou Iron Army for the past six months, and his every move is directly related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in the territory under his jurisdiction. But after all, he is not a hairy young man, he is a deep person, and he is calm to the extreme in every word and deed from his vital interests, so he naturally will not be angry with Li Heng because of this.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Shen calmed down and said with a smile: "Li Xianggong, this rain is very heavy, you and Mr. Donglai reunite after a long absence, and it is a great joy in life to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country." Or go first to change into clean clothes, and have ordered the soldiers to prepare wine and food to wash the dust for the minister. Mr. Donglai, please. ”
Li Heng rolled his eyes and asked, "What kind of account, let me ask you, what is a festival?" He sneered: "As far as the old man knows, your Wang Shen is just a Huangzhou defense envoy, and he is a seventh-rank martial artist, when did you start the festival?" ”
As far as the current Great Song Dynasty is concerned, only Liu Guangshi, the commander of the Huai Army, is the envoy of the festival, and he opened his teeth to build a mansion, and his line can be regarded as a festival account.
Looking at Li Heng's posture, he wants to seize this point and give Wang Shen an infinite platform.
Others don't know how powerful this is, Hu Yantong understands, he was in a hurry, and subconsciously put his hand on the iron whip handle. Yue Yun and the others didn't know what to do, but they had long seen that this old man surnamed Li was not pleasing to the eye, and when they saw that Hu Yantong had a posture of moving his hands, they all held their weapons with their hands on their faces, with a look of resentment.
When Lu Benzhong saw this, he was shocked. In the past few months of Qi and Huang, he has been mixed with the armies of Wang Shen and Kong Yanzhou all day long, and he has never seen any kind of bloody battle. I know too well the nature of the soldiers who always have their heads tied to the waistband of their trousers, these people ignore their enemies and their own lives, they are brave and strong, and to put it mildly, they are fucking outlaws.
It really annoys them, and they cut you down with a knife, and it's a big deal. Now the order of the imperial court is not good, and there is no way to deal with the warriors.
This Li Yanping has been in the court for a long time, and he doesn't know the situation below, pedantic, pedantic!
He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yanping, General Wang is just a slip of the tongue, and there is not so much attention in the army." How to stand in the rain and talk, how can it be good to really get sick. Also, the will of the rulers also needs to be read. Dao Si hurried and welcomed Li Xianggong into the big tent. ”
After all, Li Heng was old and couldn't stand the cold, so he nodded: "Okay, lead the way." ”
"Juren, I remember that when I went to Tokyo to take the entrance examination, I borrowed it from your house, so many years have passed, it is like a dream!" After entering the big tent, a soldier had already set up a table for a banquet. Li Heng drank a few sips of hot wine fiercely, and his pale face regained his blood color, and he couldn't help but sigh: "My family was poor back then, and you were a wealthy family in Huaizuo, so you naturally wanted to come to fight the autumn breeze, and you lived there for half a year." ”
Lu Benzhong smiled: "What, Yanping has something to thank me?" ”
Li Heng glanced at him: "You are rich and I am poor, and the gentleman has the friendship of wealth, so I can be very at ease." ”
As they spoke, not only the two of them, but even Li Heng's servants and staff members who were sitting on the side laughed.
After a long time, Li Hengcai sighed with emotion: "The world is in turmoil, I thought that when I said goodbye that day, you and I would never have the opportunity to meet again, but I didn't expect to meet here again today, and I won't get drunk today." ”
Lu Benzhong: "That's right, Yanping, you received the holy decree this time to pass through Jingchu, this place is already rotten, and it is not so easy to open up the situation." General Wang Daosi is a first-class general in the world, you don't have to worry about him, I look forward to the two of you playing a good situation here to show your ambitions, and I don't know what Yanping's plans are? ”
There were eight people at a table, in addition to Lu Benzhong and Li Heng, there were five Li Heng's staff, Wang Shen was squeezed aside, and others didn't think there was anything wrong, which shows the low status of the warriors of the Song Dynasty.
Fortunately, Wang Shen didn't care.
For Lu Benzhong, a sanctimonious villain, Wang Shen hated it so much that his teeth itched. If it weren't for him, the Battle of Qichun would not have dragged on until now, and he would have taken this city long ago. However, Lu Benzhong's methods are really admired to the point that the five bodies are thrown to the ground, and the ancients who can leave their names are really human spirits!
Hearing him say, Wang Shen couldn't help but interject and said: "Mr. Donglai, it's a long way to Lin'an, with Mr. Donglai's great talent, there may not be room to play in the court, it is better to stay in the army, and there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions." ”
Before the words were finished, everyone at the table burst out laughing, laughing so much that Wang Shen was inexplicable.
After a long time, Li Hengcai glanced at Wang Shen sarcastically: "Is Wang Jun's envoy asking Juren to help you pacify the Anlu bandits, this seems to be inconsistent with the court's etiquette system, it's really a joke!" ”
This sentence made Wang Shen's anger rise again, yes, what he lacks most now is a high-level think tank with a big picture like Lu Benzhong. The civil officials brought by Du Shu and Du Tongju under his command can govern one county and one government, but the things at the strategic level will not be.
Wang Shen really admired Lu Benzhong's ability and intended to keep him in the army. In his opinion, even if Lu Benzhong is still in the court, he is just a small outsider, dealing with official documents all day long. Walking everywhere in Langzhong, the capital with many officials like dogs is also a mustard-like figure. In fact, in real history, seven years later, in the sixth year of Shaoxing, he was given a Jinshi background by Zhao Gou, and he was appointed as a resident of the house, and he got an idle errand.
really performed in the political arena until Shaoxing was promoted to the middle school scholar in the ninth year, and when he was also a servant, he was still an official position with little power. Later, because he offended Qin Hui, he was dismissed from office and died of grief.
Old man Lu's methods are vicious, rather than letting him go back to the capital and live a life without doing anything, it is better to stay by his side and use it. That's right, this man is not a gentleman, and his character is also bad. But I use his talents, only to move!
Just imagine, with his talent, and the brave and combative Sizhou Army, this Lu Benzhong may not be able to become a famous figure in history.
However, seeing that everyone was laughing, smiling with disdain, even Lu Benzhong was sarcastic. Wang Shen suddenly understood that he was just a low-status martial artist, but Lu Benzhong was a serious civil official of the imperial court, wouldn't it be ridiculous to use him as his staff?
Wang Shen's heart was cold, it seems that the reality is not the same as the novel, and he can't be shocked by the tiger's body, so that the world's famous people and heroes from all walks of life will bow down, and their loyalty will be one hundred.
Although he was annoyed in his heart, he pretended not to hear it on the surface, and said with a smile: "An Lu Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng are so worried that they can calm down with a raise their hands." Since Mr. Donglai is unwilling to leave his ears and order Wang, he can only express regret. ”
Li Heng said "oh": "Since General Wang has the ambition to pacify Zhang, Cao and other thieves, he is very pleased. However, the major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, should not be careless, and a certain will come up with a charter, and General Wang will follow it when the time comes. ”
This is already a posture to take away Wang Shen's military power.
Wang Shen raised his eyebrows, it seems that this guy is not easy to get along with. Originally, I thought that he was just a title of envoy, and if he sat in the city and became a peaceful minister, the Sizhou army would share some of his benefits on the surface if he got the credit. Now it seems that everyone is afraid that they will not be able to cooperate well.
"Yanping, you have just arrived in Qi and Huang, and you have to have a process of understanding and familiarizing yourself with the military situation, and you have to ask General Wang more on weekdays, after all, Dao Si has dealt with the thief army and is familiar with the local people. Indeed, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, must be cautious and cautious, so that they can plan and then act. Lu Benzhong hurriedly came to play the round: "Daosi, okay, I'm drunk, I'll be here today." You just won Qichun, and the military affairs are busy, so I won't bother. Early tomorrow morning, the old man will go to Lin'an Mansion. ”
In his heart, he was a little disappreciative of Li Heng: This Li Yanping is really a scholar! Even if you want to take charge of the army, you have to encircle the officers and soldiers in the army, divide and disintegrate Xu Weizhi. As soon as you come, as soon as your eyes are black, you will yell and point fingers at military affairs, and your kindness is not over, who will take you seriously. Now it is the year of Jianyan, and the prestige of the imperial court is not good, and it is not as good as the year of Xuanhe.
These red-eyed soldiers who killed on the battlefield only had their generals in their eyes, and they couldn't tell who the court and officials were. They can be officers and soldiers today and bandits tomorrow, and they will not have any psychological pressure at all.
Li Yanping's talents are also very limited!
