Chapter Twenty-Three: The Snow Night Returns the Snowflake Knife
In the bloody battle during the day, Li Cheng killed extremely bravely, but because he was taken care of by the Jin soldiers in the end, he also suffered several injuries on his body. Fortunately, his armor was strong, and his injuries were not serious.
When he came to the camp, Li Cheng took leave from Zong Ze and did not go to the big tent of the Chinese army. Because Li Cheng didn't know how to face Yue Fei. Although he knew that Yue Fei would not embarrass him, Li Fei was a high-minded and arrogant man, and although Zong Ze had now arranged him under Yue Fei, he would not go out of his way to talk to Yue Fei.
Li Cheng thought, as long as Lao Tzu fights hard, I don't believe that you Yue Fei dares to give me small shoes to wear!
In his camp tent, Li Cheng took off his armor and asked his soldiers to give medicine to the wounds on his body. After taking the medicine, Li Cheng stood outside the camp tent and looked at the sky for a while, and then glanced at the brightly lit Chinese army tent with complicated eyes.
Li Cheng now hates the Taoist priest Tao Zisi. If it weren't for Tao Zisi's nonsense, he wouldn't have left Bishui Pass without permission and went to Taihang Mountain to ambush Yue Fei. If he doesn't leave Bishui Pass, he will still be one of Zong Ze's most trusted and relied on generals. But once he made a mistake, he was hated for thousands of years, since he was fooled by that dog Taoist, even if the sect marshal did not add to the crime, he no longer relied on himself as before.
Today's Chinese military tent is no longer a place where you can go often.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, Li Cheng simply stopped entering the account, but lifted his double knives and played a knife trick on the snow. The double knives danced to the hearty place, only to see a ball of knife light rolling around on the snow, and there was no human figure in sight.
Li Cheng's personal soldiers couldn't help but shout loudly. But after Li Cheng put away the knife, he sighed again. Although this double knife was specially made by the master in Luoyang City, it was no less sharp than the original snowflake double knife, but when it was made, it always felt that it was not as easy as the original double knife.
It's a pity that those two knives have now become playthings in the hands of the two dolls, and they are no longer his Li Cheng's things.
Li Cheng walked back to the camp tent a little lonely, and was about to rest, but he heard a personal soldier come in to report, "General Li, General Yue Fei is here." ”
Li Cheng's heart jumped, and he said secretly, Yue Fei didn't talk to Zong Ze in the big tent, how could he come to my tent? It's because I don't want to flatter this guy, and I came to find me unlucky. Hmph, if you really want to humiliate me Li Cheng, I, Li Chengcheng, will have another competition with you. Let you Yue Fei see, Li Cheng is not a soft egg who is bullied.
Li Cheng came to the door of the big tent and looked at Yue Fei by the light. Yue Fei was not wearing armor, he was dressed in civilian clothes, he did not bring a personal guard, and only followed by Ji Qian, who was also wearing civilian clothes.
Yue Fei was bare-handed, but Ji Qian seemed to be holding two knives in his hands. Li Fei had already relaxed, because Yue Fei was wearing civilian clothes, and he definitely didn't come to ask him about his master. But seeing the two knives in Ji Qian's hand, Li Cheng's eyes narrowed suddenly, and there was a faint murderous aura. Because the knife in Ji Qian's hand is the snowflake double knife that Li Cheng has used for more than ten years.
Yue Fei walked up to Li Cheng in a few steps, arched his hand and smiled, "General Li, Fei Mao came to visit late at night, I don't know if General Li is welcome?" ”
Li Cheng withdrew his gaze from the snowflake double knife, and also hugged his fists and smiled, "Cheng is now a subordinate of General Yue, General Yue is visiting, how dare Cheng not welcome it?" ”
Yue Fei Zhengse said, "Where did General Li come from?" Fly to visit tonight, not for anything else, just to return the snowflake double knife. ”
"Are you going to give me the knife back?" Li Cheng couldn't believe his ears, and immediately blurted out. It's no wonder that Li Cheng is excited, the snowflake double knife is a weapon given to him by his master, and he has debuted for more than ten years and has never left in one day. But since he was captured by Yue Fei in Taihang Mountain, the snowflake double knife has become Yue Yun Niutong's trophy.
Facing Li Cheng's burning eyes, Yue Fei nodded. Turned around and took the snowflake double knife from Ji Qian's hand, then held it with both hands and handed it to Li Cheng. Li Cheng was about to catch the knife with both hands, but suddenly stopped in the air again, looked at Yue Fei and said, "Cheng wants to ask, why did General Yue return the knife to me?" Cheng once murdered General Yue, and also served as General Yue's prisoner. To tell the truth, Li Cheng really wanted to return the snowflake knife, but Li Cheng really didn't have the face to return the snowflake knife. ”
Yue Fei looked at Li Cheng and said slowly, "General Li, the battle between you and me that day was just a wall of brothers. Now in the face of the iron hooves of the golden dog, it is time for the brothers to join hands to fight the golden dog. General Li alone defended Bishui Pass and kept Xijing Luoyang, and his merits were great. In today's battle, if it weren't for General Li's death on the right flank, I am afraid that we would all have become ghosts under the sword of the golden dog by now. ”
Yue Fei paused and continued, "Fei Fei has no other intentions here. I just want to return the snowflake double knife to General Li. These two knives can only exert greater power in the hands of General Li. I'd love to see how many golden dogs General Li's twin knives can hack to death in tomorrow's battle? ”
When Li Cheng heard this, he no longer hesitated, and immediately took the double knife into his hand, and when the double knife touched, the sound was clear, and it was heard far away in the night. Li Cheng was about to say a few words of gratitude, but Ji Qian spoke in the back. "Li Shuangdao, don't you want us to come in and sit down?"
Li Cheng regained the double knife, he was in a happy mood, and immediately slapped his head and blamed himself, "Look at me, a rough person, I have forgotten even basic etiquette." General Yue please. General Ji please. ”
Entering the big tent, Li Cheng invited Yue Fei to sit on the seat. There are soldiers who bring hot tea. Li Cheng said, "Zong Shuai strictly forbids drinking alcohol in the army. So I can only replace the wine with tea to entertain the two. ”
Ji Qian grinned and said, "Li Shuangdao, a few months ago, did you think that we would have a fireside night chat?" Haha, you almost killed us back then. I had a big opinion of you at the time, and I thought you were too ambitious. Later, I learned that you were bewitched by the demon Tao Tao Zi Si Cup, and I thought you were too stupid. But you have been helpless to fight Sha Gu for a while, but I am convinced, and I am really worthy of the name of Hedong Double Knife. ”
Li Cheng's face turned red when Ji Qian said this, and he immediately smiled bitterly, "Why does General Ji bother talking about those past events? Li Cheng mistakenly fell for the trick of the traitor and almost killed General Yue, and he regretted it a long time ago. Now I replace wine with tea and make amends to General Yue. ”
Li Cheng brought a cup of hot tea to Yue Fei, Yue Fei took it with both hands and drank it all in one gulp. Li Cheng sighed, "General Yue is so generous, he doesn't have the heart to be called the king. I, Li Cheng, were really blinded by lard that day. I'm just a brave man, and if I can command an army of 10,000 people, I'm already up to the sky. Now that he is fortunate to be under the command of General Yue, Li Cheng is willing to be a pioneer tomorrow to live up to General Yue's grace of returning the sword. ”
Yue Fei said with a smile, "When the country is ruined and the family is ruined, as a man, you should first protect your family and defend the country. If you still have your own little abacus, you will only be broken by the golden dogs, which will make my Central Plains sink and my life will be ruined. General Li can wake up and be very good. But General Li said something wrong, I returned the knife because I admired General Li's heroic Bianshui Pass, and today's bravery, and there is no kindness to General Li. If there is kindness, Zong Shuai is kind to us. Without Zong Shuai, I, Yue Fei, am just a farmer in Xiangzhou, and I don't know how to defend at all. If we can kill Sha Gu on the south bank of the Yellow River, we can be regarded as repaying the great favor of the Zong Shuai. ”
Li Cheng also said with emotion, "If it weren't for Zong Shuai's love for my skills, my head would have been cut off by Du Chong's bastard and hung on the upper floor of Bianliang City." That bastard has no skills, he only knows how to use the authority of the court to kill people and establish authority. ”
Ji Qian snorted coldly. "Whoever kills, man will always kill him. If Du Chong Xiao'er behaves nonsense again, sooner or later he will let him eat me. ”
Li Cheng saw that Yue Fei was indifferent to Ji Qian's words, and immediately understood that Yue Fei also had murderous intentions towards Du Chong. So he also said, "General Ji has this guts, and he also counts me Li Cheng's double swords." I'm going to cut that guy twice to vent my hatred. ”
Yue Fei saw the two of them blindly shouting and shouting at Du Chong, and immediately reminded them, "If you want to kill that bastard of Du Chong, you must first kill that bastard of Sha Guzhi." If we lose tomorrow, Du Chongke will live a long life. ”
Li Cheng smiled, "That's for sure." Du Chong, that bastard, will definitely surrender to the Jin Kingdom. Don't look at this guy who doesn't leave the saint when he speaks, and he doesn't forget to show his loyalty, if the Jin soldiers kill Bianliang, this guy will definitely be the first to surrender. ”
Speaking of this, Li Cheng suddenly asked Yue Fei. "General Yue, can Cao Cheng's tired tactics really work?"
Yue Fei nodded affirmatively, "I can't tire the Jin soldiers, but it's still okay to tire the Han'er army." ”
Ji Qian sneered, "I'm afraid of the tired Han'er Army, and Cao Cheng is not an opponent." ”
Yue Fei immediately said, "Ji Qian is talking nonsense. Cao Cheng still has a hand in the war. Let's talk about the battle of tomorrow, the cavalry is coordinated, and we and Cao Cheng are one. If you are looking forward to Cao's success or failure here, aren't you just looking forward to our defeat? ”
Ji Qian was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and said in a loud voice, "Brother Yue, how can I look forward to losing the battle? But I just can't get used to Cao Cheng's jealous and virtuous face! A tired tactic actually sent Yang Zaixing, who had been fighting for most of the day, out of anger, obviously jealous that Yang Zaixing was rewarded by the Zong Shuai. ”
It turned out that Cao Cheng offered a plan to exhaust the troops, and on the grounds that he was worried about the Jin soldiers' attack, he gave Yang Zaixing 500 cavalry and sent Yang Zaixing outside the Jin army camp. At that time, Zong Ze was a little displeased. But Yang Zaixing voluntarily accepted the order, and of course Zong Ze couldn't say anything.
Of course, Yue Fei also understands Cao Cheng's careful thinking, but Yang Zaixing is still Cao Cheng's personal general, and as an outsider, he really doesn't praise it. Seeing that Yang Zaixing led too few troops, in case the sand went crazy and really attacked at night, Yang Zaixing might encounter the "small business river" of fate in advance. Therefore, Yue Fei sent a hundred back troops to Yang Zaixing, led by Wang Gang, and accompanied Yang Zaixing to cover the drummers.
Of course, Yue Fei also has the meaning of contacting Yang Zaixing. Judging from Zong Ze's words to convince Yang Zaixing during the day, Yang Zaixing is not a husband who only cares about selfish favors. In Yang Zaixing's heart, brotherhood is far less than the righteousness of the family and country. Therefore, Yue Fei now wants to pull Yang Zaixing to the Beiwei Army.
Yue Fei, Ji Qian, and Li Cheng talked about tomorrow's battle arrangements in the tent for a while before leaving and returning to the camp. Li Cheng stood at the gate of the camp, looked at Yue Fei's not tall back, and muttered, "Tomorrow, I, Li Cheng, will definitely use two knives to slash and kill Sha Guzhi to repay you for sending a knife on a snowy night." ”
