Chapter 144: The God of the Army
"Speaking of this second person, our village gentleman can be said to admire him so much. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jiang Zhongshi in order to set off Xing'er's extraordinary, he also learned to sell gimmicks, "This person is still living in the world in a dignified manner, General Xing, eldest brother, you still know him." ”
Lai Xing'er heard this, and the first figure that flashed in his mind was Liu Yi. Similar to Xu Guo's tolerance, Liu Yi is also a Confucian student, when he was on an errand in Yanying Palace, he heard from Wei Chang's mouth that Liu Yi assisted the prince and commanded the three armies.
"Compared with Xu Guogong, this person is said to be beyond what is better than Mr. Xu's original words. It is said that when the rebellion first rose a few years ago, the official army of the province was defeated by the rebels, and within three months, the rebels invaded Chang'an and drove the emperor Lao'er to Shu......"
"Little Stone is talking nonsense, if you want to say it, you can say it well, and if you want to be like Fang Cai, I'm going to sleep." Since Lai Xing'er got acquainted with Jiang Zhongshi, he has never been so naughty and deliberately provoked him.
Since Lai Xing'er has been interrogated mostly in the past three days and has not been in the cell, Jiang Zhongshi has been alone in the cell for the past three days, and it is easy to seize the opportunity to gossip with Lai Xing'er to relieve boredom and pass the time, how can he easily let Lai Xing'er go to sleep?
"Big brother, you can endure the sleepiness for a while, listen to me finish telling this person's story, okay? I promise you won't regret it. Jiang Zhongshi swore to make a promise to Xing'er.
Lai Xing'er smiled secretly in her belly, but on the surface she made a look of impatience to listen, closed her eyes, and said to Jiang Zhongshi: "You say yes, I'll close my eyes for a while." He waited for Jiang Zhongshi to tell the story of how Liu Yi governed the army.
"It's not enough for the rebels to drive the emperor Lao'er out of Chang'an, they have to take the emperor's life. Therefore, 30,000 troops were sent in hot pursuit, all the way to the bank of the Yellow River. At that time, it was the scorching summer weather in June, the river was surging, and the emperor saw that there was a big river blocking the way in front of him, and there were pursuers about to kill him, so he couldn't help but close his eyes like the big brother you are now, and he was about to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. Jiang Zhongshi said and said, and actually joked that Xing'er came.
Lai Xing'er still closed her eyes and ignored him.
Jiang Zhongshi felt bored, so he simply lay down beside Lai Xing'er, and said angrily: "The person I want to talk about is Marshal Jingyun Congjing, the number one general today, forget it, if you don't want to listen, I might as well follow your example and go to sleep." ”
After waiting for a long time, the person Jiang Zhongshi wanted to talk about was actually Jing Xuan's father, Jing Yuncong! Lai Xing'er recalled for a while the situation when he first met Jing Yuncong in the Shuaifu in Hezhong two years ago, and at that time, he only felt that Jing Yuncong's expression was dull and his words were boring, and he didn't like this person in his heart. Although not long ago in Nannei, after his identity as a fake eunuch was exposed by Jinping, Jing Yuncong had persuaded the emperor to spare his life, which could be said to be a grace to live, but Lai Xing'er still couldn't imagine what kind of strange things a big idler like Jing Yuncong who had lived in the capital for several years could do back then.
"The man you're talking about, I do know him. If one day we can get out of this cell, I will take you to his house to meet him, would you like to? Although Lai Xing'er didn't open his eyes, he took the initiative to show favor to Jiang Zhongshi.
Jiang Zhongshi got up from the ground, looked at Lai Xing'er with surprise on his face, and shouted, "Really? You won't regret it! ”
Lai Xing'er was afraid that he would shout and shout, which attracted the jailer, and hurriedly shouted at him: "Be quiet." However, I have a word first, as far as I know, what Jing Gong is most tired of is deliberately exaggerating and flattering people to invite favors. If what you say doesn't match the truth, don't blame me for being ashamed to take you to him. ”
Jiang Zhongshi obviously had great respect for Jing Yuncong, and waved his hand again and again: "I'm a clumsy talker, where can I talk nonsense." These are the real things that have been idle for the past two years, listening to a few old gentlemen in the village who have read books, without the slightest adulteration and exaggeration. ”
"Well, go on, I've been listening."
Jiang Zhongshi no longer dared to deliberately sell gimmicks and jokes in the story, pursed his lips, and continued to speak honestly: "Just when the emperor was cornered by the rebels and wanted to commit suicide, a Uighur cavalry suddenly came to the west, blocked the rebels, and saved the emperor. According to the old gentleman, this Uighur cavalry was led by none other than Prince Yehu, the eldest son of the Uighur emperor (khan). The Uighurs had always been friendly with the imperial court, and when they heard of the rise of rebellion in the north, the Uighur Emperor (Khan) sent Prince Yehu to lead the most elite 3,000 ironclad troops to assist the official army to quell the rebellion.
The Uighurs, relying on the merits of saving the emperor (later the emperor, the grandfather of the current emperor), followed the then crown prince, that is, the current emperor, after recovering Chang'an, began to loot the people's property in the city of Chang'an, and killed the slightest resistance. At that time, the imperial court was grateful for the Uighurs' life-saving grace to the ******** and hoped to use the Uighur military strength to quell the rebellion, so it turned a blind eye to the perverse actions of the Uighurs after entering Chang'an and adopted an attitude of protection and connivance.
According to the old gentleman, the Uighurs were a remote and wild country, and the Uighurs had never seen all kinds of treasures and goods in the city of Chang'an, and within a month they had stolen treasures and goods from the people of Chang'an to fill a full hundred ox carts.
Anxious to bring the goods of the 100 ox carts back to China, he asked the Uighur emperor (khan) for credit and greatly enriched the Uighur national strength, so he hurriedly resigned to the imperial court, and without waiting for the emperor's permission, he led 3,000 cavalry and escorted the goods of 100 ox carts out of Chang'an and returned to China via Fengxiang.
At that time, it was Marshal Jingyun Congjing who led the army to guard Fengxiang. Among the officers and troops of all roads, only Marshal Jing had an undefeated record against the rebels, so Prince Ye Hu had known Marshal Jing for a long time, and heard that he led the army to garrison in Fengxiang, so he took the opportunity to pass by Fengxiang and specially visited the barracks.
When the two men had finished meeting and had a good conversation, they heard a report from the lieutenant colonel that the Uighur cavalry under Ye Hu had openly robbed the people of the city, and that there had been a dispute with the people in the city, and that several of the people had died at the hands of the Uighurs.
