Chapter 139: Borrowed General

Sun Huchen hurriedly took the book, opened it and read a few pages, his mouth opened wide, and his face was in disbelief. looked up at Cheng Yue and stammered, "Big ...... Governor, this ...... How is this possible? ”

Cheng Yue slapped the table and shouted, "You just said that you can't do it?!" I can't know it in my heart! ”

Sun Huchen can put on a show in front of others, but where does he have the courage in front of Cheng Yue. Seeing that Cheng Yue's tone was not good, he thought of Cheng Yue's two old punches, and then remembered his previous promise, so he had to say with a bitter face: "The last general will obey the orders of the metropolitan governor!" Guaranteed execution without compromise. ”

The ministers finally learned Cheng Yue's side of giving orders and commanding in the army. Sun Huchen was a general in the court, and at his peak, he commanded more than 100,000 troops, and even when he lost the battle, no one would slap the table on him. But in front of Cheng Yue, he was as well-behaved as a kitten, and was scolded by Cheng Yue in front of the ministers, and he didn't dare to refute.

Zhang Shijie's position in the court is not lower than Cheng Yue, and he is still commanded by Cheng Yue to work hard. Alas, it is not unreasonable for Cheng Yue to succeed.

Xia Gui was also curious, borrowed the booklet in his hand, and turned a few pages and was almost jumping in fright. But when I think that the Marine Corps is the only army that Cheng Yue wants to form personally, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to it. The old general gritted his teeth and said: "The Metropolitan Governor, the old man has nearly 100 children and grandchildren, and all those under the age of thirty and over the age of fifteen will be sent to the Marine Corps. The whole family of my Xia family swears to serve the governor to the death and never retreat! ”

Cheng Yue gave Xia Gui a thumbs up and said, "The old general is really as proud as he was back then!" Okay, this love book has been received! In a few days, let the children and grandchildren of the old general report to General Zhang and General Sun. The Xia family lives up to me. I will live up to the Xia family. Cheng Yue raised a glass of wine. Xia Gui also raised his glass and touched Cheng Yue.

Since then, the Xia family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, was born. Just like their ancestors' oath to Cheng Yue, the Xia family has always been loyal to the Cheng family. When Cheng Yue said that the emperor passed to the eleventh emperor, more than 100 important ministers in the court voted to carry out a constitutional monarchy, and the Xia family was also resolutely opposed, and did not hesitate to meet with the imperial court. If it weren't for the edict made by the emperor at that time, Cheng Yue made more than 200 years ago, ordering all the armies in the world to disarm, the Xia family would have joined hands with many princes to raise the red gold dragon flag and raise troops from all over the world to serve the king.

The ministers saw that even Xia Gui looked like he was looking at death, and it was obvious that Cheng Yue's requirements for the Marine Corps must be extremely cruel. They were all a little excited. If Cheng Yue can train a strong army in the world, then what else can the Great Song Dynasty be afraid of?

Lu Xiufu wanted to take the book and take a look, but Xia Gui refused: "Secrets in the army should not be heard easily." "In fact, Lu Xiufu has also been in the army for a long time, and he is not just a weak scholar.

Cheng Yue said to Wen Tianxiang again: "Xianggong Wen, I want to borrow someone from you." ”

Wen Tianxiang was surprised and said: "The fierce generals under the account of the Metropolitan Governor are like clouds, why do you need to borrow generals from me?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "I want to march south, but I lack two soldiers and horses in my hands. ”

Wen Tianxiang immediately knew who Cheng Yue wanted, and said with a smile: "If he accepts your love, he will be able to fight to the death." He turned back and shouted to his subordinates: "Where is Zhu Hua?" ”

"The end will be here." A figure is not very tall. But the extremely fierce capable man came out in response and stood up.

Wen Tianxiang said to him: "Zhu Hua." Didn't you want to get to know the Metropolitan Governor for a long time? It's better now, the Metropolitan Governor is preparing to train his troops in the south, and wants to borrow you to listen to orders, are you willing? ”

Zhu Hua was overjoyed, bowed down and said: "The Metropolitan Governor killed Zhang Quan, avenged the blood revenge of my brothers Yin Yu and Ma Shilong, and the three of us are the only ones who survive in the world, and this life was picked up, and now it is the Metropolitan Governor's." As long as the Metropolitan Governor does not dislike it, Zhu Hua will serve the Metropolitan Governor before and after the saddle. ”

Cheng Yue said firmly: "You are good, you are not sorry for your two brothers, and you have not embarrassed the men of Liangguang." This time, I sent Master Lu Shi Meng Lu to the south to train troops and build roads and grain, he is too small alone, and he needs someone to help him, I want to send you to help him, what do you think? ”

Lu Shimeng has already made a setback, this matter is known to the whole dynasty, and the ministers sighed at that time, this Cheng Yue really dared to use people.

Zhu Hua bowed down and said, "The last general will be ordered!" They will live up to the trust of the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Okay." He turned to Wen Tianxiang and said, "There is another person, I also want to borrow it." ”

Wen Tianxiang had no choice but to take Cheng Yue, so he waved his hand and said: "The metropolitan governor will do it, whoever you fancy just say, I will definitely let it go." ”

Cheng Yue laughed and shouted, "Where is Gong Xin?" ”

"The end will be." A big man stood up quietly, and even his voice remained calm.

Cheng Yue nodded appreciatively and said, "I want you to assist Master Lu with Zhu Hua, are you willing?" ”

Gong Xin only said: "Yes." So he went with Zhu Hua to meet Lu Shimeng, who was sitting on the side. Lu Shimeng didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly returned the salute, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries.

Wen Tianxiang wondered: "Dadu Governor, Zhu Hua once fought a bloody battle with the Yuan army, and it is not surprising that Dadu Governor knows his talent. But Gong Xin hasn't fought any big battles yet, where did the Metropolitan Governor know about him? ”

In history, in order to cover Wen Tianxiang's retreat, Gong Xin sat on the ground with his own soldiers, and put on a good posture to prepare for battle. The Yuan soldiers chased the soldiers when they came, afraid of an ambush, and did not dare to attack rashly, so the arrows rained down, Gong Xin and his own soldiers were hit by countless arrows, but they were serene, motionless, until the end they threw themselves into the cliff and died, thus delaying the pace of the pursuers, and finally made Wen Tianxiang escape the pursuit of the Yuan soldiers.

How could Cheng Yue tell Wen Tianxiang such a thing? just smiled: "I heard that he is good at military training, and after becoming the commander of the capital in your mansion, he refused to accept the 1,000 soldiers and horses you gave him, but instead went to Jiangxi to recruit more than 3,000 soldiers and trained them personally, which can be called elite." I thought of asking him to train for me, and it was also the time for him to show his strength. ”

Wen Tianxiang praised him: "Most of the governors know people well, and even the characters under my account know so clearly, no wonder all the generals under his command are willing to serve." Zhu Hua and Gong Xin will be able to make contributions to the Metropolitan Governor, and they will not be in vain to fight with me. ”

Cheng Yue Zhengse said: "That is also the wisdom of the Minister of Literature, otherwise where would there be so many generals to defect to the house?" ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled and pointed at Cheng Yue and said, "It turned out to be poached by you, isn't this coming to me to eat?" ”

Cheng Yue laughed and arched his hand: "Rude, rude, concede, concede." ”

Wen Tianxiang also laughed.

After finishing the business, the atmosphere at the banquet became more harmonious, and the habit of Wen Tianxiang and other literati came again, and a group of scholars wrote poems on the spot and sang harmony with each other. If there is wine but no poetry, isn't it unbearable? Some people also wanted to ask Cheng Yue to chant a few songs, but Cheng Yue pushed them back. Because Cheng Yue's "Linjiang Immortal" is too amazing, he refused to write poems on the table, which really disappointed a group of Wenchen, but it was not surprising. After all, there are other generals, if Cheng Yue writes a good poem again, how can those generals deal with themselves?

The ministers and poets came to an end for the time being, and eight more courtesans came up. (Here's an explanation.) The so-called prostitutes, prostitutes are mainly selling themselves, and basically have no talent. Prostitutes are mainly prostitutes, and there are many who only sell their professions but not their bodies. Historically, those who interacted with literati and scholars were courtesans and maikos, and prostitutes were not qualified. )

The eight courtesans are all between sixteen and eighteen years old, and they are all very beautiful, and they are the most popular courtesans in Lin'an City, but they are still slightly inferior to those like Yunluo.

After the courtesans finished saluting Cheng Yue and the ministers, they set up their instruments and adjusted their tones, but they didn't dare to look at Cheng Yue. Being able to perform in front of Cheng Yue, they were also very nervous. Because Cheng Yue's song "Look at the Girl Opposite" has been sung everywhere in the past few days, they like it crazy, but they can't play it well, and in the end they have to sing a few traditional minor tunes and tunes, I just hope that Cheng Yue can appreciate their singing skills and not be too disappointed.

For the first time since Cheng Yue crossed, he was able to relax and listen to these ancient tunes and was very interested.

The courtesans did their best to sing one song after another with great grace, singing and singing, and then dancing one after another, and the dancing was equally graceful and elegant. Cheng Yue closed his eyes and listened carefully, still lightly beating the beat in his hand, immersed in the singing of the courtesans. When I heard the sound of dancing, I watched the dance for a while, and I also applauded.

Wen Tianxiang saw that Cheng Yue was fascinated by what he heard, and he didn't just stare at the face and body of the courtesans, but just admired their talents, and secretly praised them in his heart. But I don't want to think about it, which of the women in Cheng Yue's room who has passed through the door is not a flower and a moon, and Cheng Yue still lacks these women?

The courtesans were overjoyed when they saw Cheng Yue listening to it. They have heard of Cheng Yue's name for a long time, and this time they heard that they can meet Cheng Yue, and they can also perform for him, they have been carefully prepared for a long time, and they also shoulder the expectations of the Qinglou behind them, and they can't help but tremble. But when they thought that Cheng Yue's casual singing tune was so wonderful, they were afraid that they would lose their ugliness, and now that Cheng Yue likes it so much, their hearts finally let go. In the future, it will be said that Cheng Yue also likes to hear it, are you afraid that there will be no business?

After singing the eight songs, Cheng Yue applauded heartily. The Chinese Wu in the hall also clapped their hands together, and they were so moved that the eight courtesans almost burst into tears.

Cheng Yue waited for the applause to stop, and suddenly said to a few of them: "Where are your deeds of sale?" ”

The courtesans were all pleasantly surprised, but the ministers were stunned.

Wen Tianxiang frowned slightly and said, "Governor, if you like to listen to them sing songs, you don't have to keep them in the mansion, right?" After a long time, they will get tired of hearing it, do they want to sell it again? He has the heart to marry a daughter to Cheng Yue, of course he doesn't want Cheng Yue to be extravagant.

Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "I don't want to be raised in the house. Do you remember when I mentioned to you that I had a concubine who wanted to open a restaurant? My concubine's name is Yunluo, and she used to be a courtesan. I want to have a selection of courtesans with excellent singing skills to sing at all restaurants, and they are the voices I was looking for. As soon as I finished saying this, I suddenly felt funny, and the lines of The Voice of China came out. If they are placed in the later generations, they are all idol-level artists, but in the Song Dynasty, although they are not lowly, they are not worth boasting about. (To be continued......)
