Chapter 44: Watching the Soldiers
As he was talking, Shi Feng walked in, saw that everyone was there, paused slightly, bowed down to Guan Yi, and said, "General, everything has been done!" ”
"That's great!" Guan Yi nodded with satisfaction, and told Zhou's mother and daughter to recuperate with peace of mind, and if there is any difficulty, they can go directly to him, and after Zhou respectfully sent everyone out of the door, he went back to the room with An Niang.
Ehu Shi saw that Guan Yi and Shi Fengshen were mysterious, and he was curious, so he deliberately left behind after going out, grabbed Shi Feng and asked quietly: "Brother, what are you going to do today?" Tell me about it! ”
Shi Feng smiled and said: "The general sent me on an errand, you don't ask!" ”
E Hu opened his eyes and said, "Good boy, don't you want to make a fool of yourself, don't you want to find a fight?" ”
"If you want to fight, then you can come, and I will fight together. If I am afraid of you, I am not a harrier! Shi Feng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled like a shirt and threw a look at Ehu, he knew that Guan Yi was in front, and Ehu was just a fierce introvert, and he didn't dare to do anything at all, so he was not afraid of him.
In fact, Shi Feng knew in his heart that although his martial arts were far inferior to Ehu and Zhuge Shang, he also had skills that Ehu and others did not have, such as his unique stunt Liu Wupiao, once it was unfolded, climbing the wall and the house was like walking on the ground, although his martial arts could not get close to Ehu's body, but it would not be easy for Ehu to hurt him.
Sure enough, when Ehu saw that Shi Feng didn't eat him, he had no choice but to change his smiling face, pulled his sleeve, and laughed in a low voice: "Good brother, my brother is playing with you!" Just tell my brother, how? ”
Shi Feng saw that he was soft, he smiled, and whispered in his ear: "You'll know tomorrow, just wait!" After speaking, he ignored him, leaving Ehu alone to stare dryly, but he was helpless.
When they returned to their rooms, after dinner, they saw that it was getting late, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, after Guan Yi had breakfast, he instructed Ehu to call everyone to go to the Blood Guard military camp together, and Zhou's mother and daughter had their own post to take care of them, so he didn't have to worry about it. Except for Shi Feng, none of the people knew what Guan Yi was doing when he went to the barracks, but Guan Yi didn't say anything, and everyone didn't dare to ask, so they just followed it.
After everyone got on the horse and walked slowly all the way out of the post house, when they passed the street where they saved people yesterday, they saw the homeless beggars on both sides of the street flocking to the south gate, Ehu was curious, and grabbed a beggar and asked: "You all go to the south gate, but why?" ”
The beggar was frightened when he saw the fierce appearance of the tiger, and said in a trembling voice: "Several big families in the city are distributing porridge in the south of the city today, and we are going to go and ask for a bite to eat!" ”
Ehu was stunned for a moment, and when the beggar saw that he let go, he hurriedly made a fuss, and even crawled to dodge, and walked a long way before he dared to look back.
Ehu rode his horse close to Guan Yi and repeated the beggar's words to Guan Yi, but Guan Yi just smiled faintly and said, "Expected!" ”
"The young master already knew?" Ehu was stunned again, after resting last night, Guan Yi did not leave the post house, and besides, he had not heard anyone talk about the porridge sent by the big families in the city before, but how did Guan Yi know about it in advance? That's a strange thing. looked at Zhuge Shang again, and saw that he was also questioning, obviously he didn't know about it.
Shi Feng saw Ehu's puzzled face, and laughed in his heart, "What's so strange about this? This big family in Nanzheng City sent porridge was originally arranged by the general! ”
"What?" Ehu's eyes widened in surprise. Even Zhuge Shang was also taken aback, he never expected that the porridge sent by the big families in the city was actually arranged by Guan Yi.
Guan Yi saw that the two of them looked surprised, but he just smiled slightly and didn't make a sound.
Shi Feng pointed to the beggars and homeless people who were flocking to beg for porridge on both sides of the road, and said with a smile: "Didn't you keep pestering me yesterday and asking me what I was going out to do?" Well, that's it! ”
It turned out that after rescuing Zhou's mother and daughter yesterday, Guan Yi's eyes always kept appearing in the tragic image of those ragged homeless people suffering from hunger and cold, and he had relatives, so he ordered Shifeng to find several big families in Nanzheng City and asked them to send porridge to the homeless people in the name of their own family to help them survive this harsh winter.
However, Guan Yi also knows very well that it is absolutely impossible to let these local big families send porridge to the displaced people for no reason, not to mention that Guan Yi is just a small auxiliary Han general, even if Jiang Wei is the respect of the Zhuguo and the great general, he will not necessarily agree. After all, there is justice in everything, the money is their own, and these people have never committed adultery and violated the law, so Guan Yi can't force them to pay money and do good. What's more, these big families live here, with deep branches and large leaves, and their family forces are intricate, compared to the Guan family and Jiang Wei and other foreign forces, it can be said that they are all surpassed.
Previously, Guan Yi was rewarded generously for his defeat of Deng Ai, except for half of the reward given to the blood guard the next day, the rest of Guan Yi was all taken with him in case of emergency. Therefore, Guan Yi asked Shi Feng to take out all the remaining money and hand it over to the big families in the city, so these big families naturally had nothing to disapprove of, and immediately expressed their willingness to arrange porridge and rice for the house slaves. You must know that building bridges and repairing roads and distributing porridge and food is a great good thing to accumulate virtue and do good.
Ehu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and finally understood what happened when Shi Feng went out for a day.
Zhuge Shang looked solemn and said thoughtfully: "To help the homeless, there is a local official to handle it, so why should the general pay for it himself?" ”
"The young general didn't know that when the Wei army was defeated and retreated, it had already looted the treasury of the counties in Hanzhong, and where could the local officials get food to help the displaced people? Those who come out have to rely on the local squire. Speaking of this, Guan Yi sighed and looked at the homeless beggars rushing in front of him, if it weren't for this war, why would the people have left their homes and had no food?
Guan Yi felt in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Guan is not talented, since he is an official of the imperial court, he should share his worries for the imperial court." As for the fake hands of others, they dare not hide it from the little general, and the people suffered this catastrophe because the foundation of the country was shaken. Distributing porridge and food to help the displaced people is a matter that the imperial court should undertake. Therefore, it is a matter of the face of the imperial court, Guan Mou's qualifications are shallow, and it is not good to do this in my name, so he made this decision in desperation, and the little general must not laugh! ”
Zhuge Shang had already been shocked by Guan Yi's porridge move, and was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and sighed: "The general is kind-hearted, righteous and squandering money, although the ancient sages can't reach it!" ”
Guan Yi smiled faintly and said, "The little general praised it!" ”
While speaking, the group had already arrived at the school ground, and Chen Lie had already gotten the news, so he waited outside the camp gate early, saw Guan Yi and others, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
In addition to his rich experience in leading troops, in terms of personality, he is more calm than Ehu, coupled with delicate mind and fairness, so Guan Yi is more and more inclined to hand over the blood guard to him as the commander.
Of course, this is not Guan Yi's veto of Ehu. Compared with Chen Lie's comprehensiveness, although Ehu has a superb martial arts, he is rough by nature, not good at using his brain, and is a typical fighting general, so in Guan Yi's opinion, Ehu is more suitable to follow his side and protect his own safety full-time. The most important thing is that although Ehu also clearly felt that Chen Lie was gradually taking his place as the leader of the blood guard, he did not have any dissatisfaction, which made Guan Yi feel relieved and secretly sighed at the same time, although Ehu was rude, he had a pure childlike heart.
Everyone followed him into the gate, but along the way, they saw the banner waving, the swords and guns were like snow, and the arrangement was very strict and orderly. In the school field, the blood guards are divided into five columns, neatly standing under the banner of Jing, and the hundreds of parts under Fu Yan's command are lined up on both sides, except for the occasional snort of the war horse, there is no other sound, everyone is very appreciative, although the blood guard is less than five hundred, but they are all full of energy, gathered together, and faintly exudes the powerful momentum of thousands of troops and horses.
In the middle of the school field, there was a general's platform, which was used by the generals to train the command points of the soldiers on weekdays, and at this time it had already been decorated with red cloth for a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. After Chen Lie asked Guan Yi and others to come to the stage, he immediately strode to the middle of the platform, waved the flag in his hand, and only heard a roar of "dong dong dong", and the four war drums on both sides of the stage were beaten at the same time.
As the drums sounded, the five hundred blood guards suddenly let out a loud roar, and with a "zheng" sound, the swords of the horse chopping were unsheathed together, pointing diagonally forward. Looking around, but seeing the blade like a wave, dazzling and cold, being in it makes people feel infinite pride.
Chen Lieling's flag was held high, and the five hundred blood guards shouted in unison: "Swear by blood and support the Han family!" The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are all learned! As soon as the roar came out, the crowd was surging and the air was full of air, like a thunderbolt sounding in the clear sky, which made everyone shrug and move.
After the three-way drum, Chen Lie waved the order flag, and the blood guards all collected their swords into the sheath, returning to silence, everyone nodded in admiration, although it was five hundred people acting together, it was neat and uniform, without the slightest mess, it could really be said to be as moving as a rabbit and quiet as a virgin.
Chen Lie put away the order flag, walked in front of Guan Yi, and said loudly: "Please general, watch the troops!" ”
Guan Yi Huo got up, a good Chen Lie, sure enough, behind the door, extraordinary, even if this scene is changed to Ehu, it is estimated that it can only achieve this effect, you must know that Ehu is still the righteous leader of the blood guard, and these people have been getting along day and night for three or five years, life and death together, and they are familiar with each other, and the time that Chen Lie has led them together is less than a month.
Guan Yi knows very well that although these five hundred blood guards are only his own subordinates, they are all people who have climbed out of the pile of dead people in a hundred battles, and they have followed themselves to hone these years, and they are no longer what they used to be, any blood guard who stands up has hundreds of talents, and it is not easy to lead these five hundred people who are not afraid of death, and Chen Lie can be recognized by the blood guards in such a short period of time, which shows his true talent and learning.
