Chapter 6 Du Chong
When Qi Fang ran into the left-behind mansion, Du Chong was lying on the gum leisurely, closing his eyes, tasting the top Longjing from Lin'an. These teas were specially sent by Zhao Gou to be sent to Du Chong by eunuchs all the way. There is a fire in the lobby. One of the two young girls gave Du Chong a beating leg, and the other massaged Du Chong's shoulder.
Du served as the deputy for more than half a year, although Zong Ze was hindered by the emperor's affection and repeatedly tolerated Du Chong, but Du Chong always felt that he could not do whatever he wanted. Now Emperor Shengming has finally kicked the old immortal Zong Ze to Luoyang, Xijing, and the entire Bianliang is like a blank painting, waiting for me Du Chong to splash ink and paint a picture of thousands of miles. I think I'm Du Chong is eight buckets high, both civil and military, and I am the number one figure in Xiangzhou, but I didn't expect that in the whole world, I only know Yue Fei's mud legs, but I don't know how powerful I am Du Chong. Hmph, when I Du Chong exerts his power and monopolizes the power of the court, Lao Tzu will not let go of any of the reckless people who praise Yue Fei.
Du Chong closed his eyes and tasted tea, while exerting his might in his heart. Now in his mind, Zong Ze is dead, Yue Fei has been completely defeated, and he has become a mud leg of Tang Yin again.
Wang Shan and Li Gui, the two leaders of the rebel army, also sat in Du Chong's hall, their faces were full of respect, but their eyes showed disdain from time to time. The Golden Sword King Shan was defeated by the Protector Army a few months ago, only three of the nine brothers died, and the tens of thousands of troops only ran back a few thousand remnants, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality. Originally, Wang Shan and Du Chong used each other's relationship, but after the defeat back to Bianliang, Zong Ze wanted to kill Wang Shan Liwei, but Du Chong defended Wang Shan to the death, and finally completely enveloped Wang Shan.
Now Wang Shan has lost a lot of weight, but his eyes are becoming more and more sharp, and he seems to have returned to the peak moment when he was holding a steel knife across the Song-Liao border. The reason why Huang Zong repeatedly pulled Guo Jin and Li Heng in the morning was precisely because of Wang Shan's strong murderous aura.
Although Guo Jin and Li Heng are strong, they may not be able to defeat one Wang Shan in two pieces. What's more, there is also a Li Gui who is not inferior to Wang Shan. Li Gui was originally a one-legged thief on the rivers and lakes, and he often broke into the manor of a large family to rob alone. There are no less than 100 lives in the hands of this person, and it can be said that he is a complete killer demon king. Because of the tense relationship with many rebel generals and the fear of assassination, Du Chong deliberately paid a high price to invite Li Gui to his side as a bodyguard.
However, whether it is Wang Shan or Li Gui, they have been with Du Chong for a long time, and they immediately understand that this Du Xianggong is a wine bag and rice bag. This person is decisive and ruthless on the surface, but in his bones he is a mediocre person who has no opinions. So both of them respect Du Chong on the surface, and they despise Du Chong extremely much in their hearts.
When Du Chong finished drinking a cup of top-grade Longjing, he slowly opened his eyes, and with a wave of his robe sleeves, the two girls immediately flashed to the side. Du Chong glanced at Wang Shan with his eyes, and asked leisurely, "Wang Dalang, what do you think Yue Fei's mud-legged man will do when he learns that I have become a Bianliang guard?" ”
The disdain in Wang Shan's eyes was even stronger, but the words on his lips were more respectful. "Du Da is both civil and military, and the world admires him. I think Yue Fei must be thinking about taking refuge with adults now. Zong Ze's old thing is obviously outdated. Now Lord Du is the white jade pillar of my Great Song. If Yue Fei had eyesight, he would definitely take the blame to the adults. ”
"Hahahaha." Although Du Chong knew that Wang Shan was patting on the back, he couldn't help laughing a few times. "I and that Yue Fei are also fellow villagers. If Yue Fei really gave in to me, I would definitely reuse him. Although this person is unlearned and unskilled, he is really good at fighting. He was able to kill all the silver magicians. If he comes under my command, I'll at least give him a command. ”
Wang Shan and Li Gui glanced at each other, and secretly sneered: Yue Fei is now faintly the lord of the two places of Yingtianfu and Xuzhou Mansion, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers under him, how can it be rare for you to be in charge. What a human brain, a guy who feels good about himself.
As soon as Du Chong's words fell, Qi Fang had already run into the lobby. "Master Du, then Yue Fei wants your adult to meet you at the east gate."
Du Chong was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this Yue Fei saw that Zong Ze was gone, and really wanted to hug his thick legs. "General Qi, Hugh should panic. But does Yue Fei want to take refuge in Lord Ben? In this case, I will be generous and go to Dongcheng to make him take the blame. ”
This time, Qi Fang was stunned. After being stunned for a while, he realized that Du Chong had begun to be self-absorbed again. immediately said loudly, "Lord Du, something is wrong. Yue Fei limited Lord Du to negotiate at the East City Gate within half an hour, and if it was not too late, Yue Fei would prepare to bomb my Bianliang with thunder. ”
With a sound of "dang", the Junyao teacup in Du Chong's hand fell to the ground and shattered. Master Du's face, who had just been complacent, became as white as snow. "What? You said that Yue Fei was going to rebel? ”
Qi Fang didn't bother to pat Du Chong's ass at this time. said directly, "My lord, let's go to the east gate." It seems that Yue Fei doesn't want to attack Bianliang yet. But if the adults refuse to meet him, maybe before dark, Bianliang City will be surnamed Yue. ”
Du Chong finally recovered here, he stared at a pair of eyes, and shouted loudly, "Qi Fang, my Bianliang City is a strong city in the world, how can Yue Fei say that he will come in?" I'm not going to see that mud leg. Hurry up and lead the troops to the east gate with Wang Dalang to defend. ”
Qi Fang was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and said a little angrily, "Master Du, if you can guard the east gate, why should I come to tell you." But Yue Fei's prestige is now shocking to the world, and when those straw bales under my command saw the Protectors, half of them thought about surrendering, and half of them were so frightened that they couldn't even hold up their knives. How do you think this battle will be fought? ”
Seeing that Qi Fang, who had always been arrogant, softened, Du Chong's timid nature was finally revealed. He asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that Yue Fei wants to kill me?" But I didn't drive it away. That was the will of the imperial court. I, Du Chong, am only acting on orders. How could Yue Fei indiscriminately attack my Bianliang City? ”
Wang Shan was really bored when he saw Du Chong's face, and immediately shouted, "Lord Du, Yue Fei doesn't want to kill you. If I really want to kill you, I will directly enter Bianliang City. Why bother to let you go to the East Gate to negotiate? For now, Lord Du should quickly go to the east gate to see what Yue Fei wants to do. If you delay any longer, it will really be half an hour. ”
Li Gui had never seen Yue Fei's power, and at this time he also said sharply, "Master Du, what Wang Jindao said is very true. With me Li Gui here, even if Yue Fei really has ill intentions towards adults, I will protect the adults and get out. ”
Du Chong thought that Wang Shan was reasonable, and several cronies were in favor of him going to the east gate, if he didn't go, it would really reveal the nature of a coward. So he finally waved his robe sleeves and took the holy decree sent by the imperial court to Luoyang in his hand, and then took another sip of hot wine, strengthened his courage, and finally walked out of the left-behind mansion. However, when he left the house, Du Chong gave an order to the soldiers guarding the courtyard, asking them to go to the house and kill the two girls. Because Du Chong thought that he was a little unbearable just now, and he was seen by those two cheap girls, of course he couldn't let them live in the world.
When Du Chong stood on the east gate, Yue Fei was about to give the order to attack. Du Chong looked at the phalanx of swords and guns covering the sky and the sun under the city, and couldn't help but feel his legs tighten. He took a strong breath and said loudly, "Yue Pengju, as a sect commander's favorite general, why did you come to Bianliang if you didn't help Zong Shuai?" Zong Shuai is dedicated to the country, brave and loyal, and everyone in the world admires him. Don't ruin his old man's reputation. ”
Du Chong knew that he had no friendship with Yue Fei, so he directly moved Zong Ze out. Seeing that Yue Fei's face was sinking like water, the iron gun in his hand was pointing at the Bianliang City Gate, and he didn't seem to hear his words. Du Chong was so anxious that he immediately took out the holy decree in his sleeve. "Yue Pengju, Zong Shuai's trip to Luoyang is the holy decree of the imperial court. I, Du Chong, have always regarded Zong Shuai as my father, how could I do something to squeeze out Zong Shuai? If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself. ”
Du Chong's words of pretending to be a son made several cronies feel feverish when they heard it. But it made Yue Fei under the city smile on his face. Yue Fei saw that Du Chong even said the words of treating Zong Ze as his father, and immediately knew that Du Chong's courage was broken. Immediately stopped Du Chong's move of hanging the holy decree down the city tower with a rope, and let out a long laugh. "Lord Du, I am a fellow villager with you, of course I will not embarrass Lord Du. I came to Bianliang today to borrow some grain and grass from Master Du. My army of tens of thousands of people set out without hurry, and they didn't bring much grain and grass. I hope that Lord Du can give some food and grass so that my army can go to Luoyang and meet with the sect commander. ”
Du Chong saw that Yue Fei finally opened Chrysostom, and he didn't make too many demands, and finally put the heart that mentioned his throat back into his stomach. He put the holy decree back into his sleeve and said in a somewhat coquettish tone, "The grain and herbs of Bianliang are originally prepared for the fight against gold. Since your Protectors are also fighting against Dajin, even if we are short of food and grass in Bianliang, we can't starve your Protectors. By the way, I don't know how much food Pengju needs? ”
"300,000 quintals of grain, 100,000 quintals of forage."
"What?" Du Chong was taken aback by Yue Fei's words. He was a little angry and said, "Yue Pengju, you only have tens of thousands of troops, how can you need so much grain and grass?" One hundred and twenty pounds of grain per load. 300,000 quintals of grain, but there are more than 3 million catties. Our whole city of Bianliang has only accumulated 500,000 quintals of grain. You have to walk so much at once, you can't let the hundreds of thousands of righteous soldiers in the city drink the northwest wind, right? ”
Yue Fei also ignored Du Chong's crying, and immediately said in a loud voice, "Master Du, you and I know how much grain and grass there is in Bianliang City. Zong Shuai has accumulated enough food in the city for an army of one million to consume for two years. Now I want these 300,000 loads of grain and grass, which is really not much. Zong Shuai's army of 300,000 people, you only gave two months of food. My 300,000 loads of grain and grass are not only for me, but also for the 300,000 troops of the sect commander. Today you have to give, and if you don't give, you have to give. ”
Speaking of this, Yue Fei suddenly hung the big gun on the victory hook, took off the big bow on his back, and shot an arrow at the head of the city. The powerful bow and arrow carried the sound of the wind, and it was right on the city wall at Du Chong's feet. The city wall of bluestone glutinous rice, the bow and arrow actually pierced more than three inches.
This arrow directly scared Du Chong, who still wanted to quibble. He looked at the bow and arrow that was still trembling, and knew that Yue Fei's arrow was intended to be powerful, if he really wanted to shoot himself, he would definitely be a dead man.
Yue Fei said coldly under the city, "Lord Du, before noon tomorrow, if I don't see 300,000 loads of grain and grass outside the east gate, I will go into the city to get it myself." ”
