Chapter 67: The Heroes (Part II)
Seeing Yue Fei groaning for a long time, Mr. Chuang thought that what he was asking for was hopeless, and couldn't help laughing miserably, "General Yue, it's me who is reckless. I, Shi Chuang, am just a horseman who is not skilled in martial arts, but he is not in the middle and upper ranks in martial arts, and he will lose every battle against Jin, where is he qualified to be a pawn of the Protector Army. General Yue, Shi Chuang took his leave. ”
As soon as Mr. Chuang's words fell, Chong Yue Fei hugged his fists and immediately prepared to leave the table with a few personal soldiers. Seeing that Mr. Chuang was so presumptuous, Ji Qian immediately shouted, "Mr. Chuang, what do you mean by this?" I will treat you with good wine and good food in Erlongshan, even if you don't give face, you have to finish this meal before leaving! ”
Ji Qian's anger did not come out of nowhere. Mr. Chuang didn't drink Yue Fei's toast just now, and Mr. Chuang didn't eat the food that was put on the table. Ji Qian thought that this was Mr. Chuang's suspicion that the wine and food were poisonous.
Mr. Chuang glared back at Ji Qian without showing weakness, and there were anger and tears in his eyes. "I, Shi Chuang, am a reckless man who doesn't know etiquette. But I didn't come to see General Yue for a meal. Tens of thousands of my brothers are hidden in the mountains, with no clothes to cover their bodies, no food to eat, the young and strong can eat half full, and the old and weak can only eat one meal a day. The reason why I don't drink alcohol or eat food is because I don't underestimate General Yue. I just can't bear to be alone. ”
"What a person, I can't bear to be alone!" Yue Fei stood up and praised loudly, "What a Mr. Chuang!" Although there are many heroes in the world, there are a few who can be like Mr. Chuang. If you don't talk about others, Yue can't do it. ”
Mr. Chuang smiled bitterly, "General Yue praised it falsely. Shi Chuang resists gold, and every battle will be defeated. Therefore, those who are not abandoned by the people, but rely on this heart, look up to the sky, be worthy of the earth, and be worthy of their parents. ”
Yue Fei also left the table, walked up to Mr. Chuang, and stretched out a hand. Mr. Chuang was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, and also stretched out a hand. The two pairs of big hands clasped each other tightly, Yue Fei looked at the heroes in the seat, then turned his gaze to Mr. Chuang's face, and said loudly, "Mr. Chuang, the reason why Fei can't answer for a long time is not that he doesn't want to borrow armor, but that Ying Tianfu's affairs are not up to Fei alone. ”
Liu Li asked a little strangely, "Oh, isn't General Yue the regimental training envoy of the Protector Army?" I heard that General Yue didn't even listen to the orders of the emperor Lao'er, did anyone dare to instruct General Yue? ”
Liu Li is only eighteen years old, but he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, which can be said to be a high-spirited youth. The reason why the emperor is called Lao'er is because he can't get used to Zhao Gou removing Zhang Suo's position as the envoy of Hebei West Road. The newly appointed bastard's appeasement made him afraid of gold like a tiger, ignoring the civilian armed forces and the copycat rebels, which suddenly increased the pressure on these rebels living between Song and Jin.
Since Zhang's resignation, Jingou has sent Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army to encircle and suppress the copycat rebels everywhere. Although the Changsheng Army is only a second-rate army of Golden Dog, it can be regarded as an invincible elite compared to the Righteous Army with rough armor. More than a dozen rebel armies have been wiped out by Guo Yaoshi's victorious army. Although Liu Li is busy and is not afraid of heaven and earth, he also understands that his army is not the opponent of the ever-winning army. The only way to do this is to ask for a strong help.
Liu Li was busy because he had no good impression of the Zhao and Song courts, so he put the target of his request for help on the Ying Tianfu Protector Army, which had defeated the imperial court army in a row. In his opinion, this people's army is not only an expert in civil war, but also an expert in foreign war. The next battle of Xiangzhou City, the shock of the Central Plains.
Looking at Liu Li, who was a little childish on his face, Yue Fei smiled and said, "It's true that I'm a group training envoy. But I am not the prefect of Ying Tianfu, nor is I the God of Wealth of Ying Tianfu, how can I control everything in Ying Tianfu? ”
Liu Li was a little unconvinced and said, "Doesn't the prefect still want to listen to you?" If you don't listen to you, you will be cut with a knife, and you will not get it. Anyway, these readers don't have a lot of good things. ”
Liu Li was busy with this sentence, Yue Fei heard nothing, but he annoyed Zhang Gong, who was sitting next to him. Zhang Gong Jinshi was born and can be said to be a scholar with good roots. Zhang Gong was so angry that the beard on his chin trembled, and he pointed at Liu Li and scolded, "You little erection! Why isn't a reader a good thing? The old man is a scholar, and the old man is not still desperate with the golden dog. Lord Zhan Duzhan, the prefect of Zhongshan, Li Ruoshui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Shuye, the governor of Qingzhou, Lord Li Gang, Lord Zongzezong, which one is not iron-clad? ”
Liu Li was not angry, and asked with a smile, "I naturally admire Zhang Zhixian." Zhang Zhixian said that these people, I Liu Li is busy and I dare not be disrespectful. But can Zhang Zhixian name a few more names? There are hundreds of thousands of literati in my Emperor Song Dynasty, but are there ten like you? No. There are more rats who run away from the wind, and dog thieves who tend to be inflammatory. ”
"You little erection! You, you, you, you're angry with the old man. Zhang Gong was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes, but looking at Liu Li's busy bright eyes, Zhang Gong finally stopped scolding the street, but let out a long sigh. Zhang Gong is a conscientious scholar, and he knows in his heart that at this moment when Lu Shen is sinking, the literati who were supported by Emperor Song Houlu did behave a little incompetent and a little shameless.
There is only one Li Ruoshui, and there is only one Uncle Zhang. Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan and others have gone forward and succeeded, tens of thousands. Now the two prime ministers of the new emperor, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, are also standard traitors.
It was precisely because of his desperation for the literati and the imperial court that Zhang Gong did not flee to Bianliang within the destruction of Lucheng, but gathered people in the mountains and continued to resist the Jin army. The reason why he quarreled with Liu Li was just because as a literati, he naturally couldn't let Liu Li be busy.
Yue Fei admired Liu Li busy, but Yue Fei also admired Zhang Gong. Yue Fei believes that literati like Zongze, Zhang, Gong, and Huang Zong represent the literati style of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, and only then do they represent the great benevolence and righteousness of China.
Yue Fei said with a smile, "Zhang Zhixian is not angry. The literati in Liu Li's busy mouth definitely did not include Zhang Zhixian. Zhang Zhixian's chivalrous courage was greatly admired by Yue. ”
Mr. Chuang was listening to the following with his ears pricked up, but when he saw that he was being disturbed by Liu Li and Zhang Gong, he immediately said, "General Yue, you just said that Ying Tianfu is not up to you. Who has the final say? ”
Seeing Mr. Chuang's impatient eyes, Yue Fei couldn't help laughing. "Mr. Chuang, don't be too worried. Ying Tianfu, although I am not alone, has the final say. But if I don't speak, it doesn't matter who says it. Mr. Chuang can go to Ying Tianfu with me, and when you get there, you can say your request again. I don't think it's a big deal. ”
The reason why Yue Fei dared to say such a big thing was, of course, the news revealed by Zhao Hong. Zhao Hong said that a carpenter surnamed Zhao in the armory workshop invented a new method of casting armor, and the speed of casting armor was three times faster than before. Now the weapons and armor in the armory are piled up. According to Xu Qing, arming 100,000 people is not a problem.
Yue Fei knew that he could agree to Mr. Chuang's request on Erlong Mountain, but after all, the armor was realized from the taxes of Tianfu, and he couldn't use the blood and sweat of the people of Tianfu to please some people.
Yue Fei especially appreciated a sentence in Yue Xiaofei's memory. "Power corrupts. Absolute power begets absolute corruption. "The Emperor Song has come to a tragic present, isn't it because of the tragedy caused by absolute power?
Mr. Chuang saw that although Yue Fei did not agree, since he invited himself to Yingtianfu, it must be nine out of ten. Thinking of this, Mr. Chuang couldn't help but be short of breath, and immediately bent his knees and wanted to kneel down for Yue Fei. But Yue Fei's eyes were quick, and he quickly helped Mr. Chuang, who was just about to kneel.
"Mr. Chuang, I, Yue Fei, kneel to the sky and kneel to my parents, but never kneel to others. Even if it's Emperor Laozi, don't want me Yue Fei to kneel. And I, Yue Fei, have never been kneeled up. Mr. Chuang is a good man of my Great Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei can't stand your kneeling. ”
Mr. Chuang saw that Yue Fei's hands were as hard as iron, and understood that Yue Fei was not pretending, but really didn't want him to kneel. couldn't help but drip two heroic tears. "I, Shi Chuang, swore in front of all the heroes, and from now on my army will be the servant army of the Protector Army. As long as the Protector Army reaches Shizhou one day, the Chuang Army will definitely surrender. ”
Yue Fei held Mr. Chuang's shoulder and said happily, "It's really Yue's great luck to get to know Mr. Chuang today." Ji Qian, you toast Mr. Chuang. ”
Ji Qian was angry just now because she misunderstood Mr. Chuang. When he heard that the reason why Mr. Chuang didn't eat enough was because he wanted to share weal and woe with the soldiers and civilians in the mountains, he was already moved. When Mr. Chuang said the words of returning to the People's Protector Army, Ji Qian regretted it even more. As soon as he heard Yue Fei call his name, he immediately took a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Mr. Chuang, I can't speak with this mouth." I was offended just now, and I asked Mr. Chuang to drink this glass of wine and forgive Ji Qian. ”
Mr. Chuang no longer refused this time, took the wine, and drank it all. After drinking, he glared at Ji Qian and said, "You bearded man, you wanted to fight with me just now." Let's have a contest after dinner. ”
Ji Qian glanced at Mr. Chuang up and down, and then said with a smile, "If you want to fight, Mr. Chuang must at least eat your stomach first." Otherwise, you won't be able to beat me later. ”
Seeing that Mr. Chuang had become the reserve army of the Protector Army so quickly, Ma Kuo was a little envious. Ma Kuo's Wuma Mountain recruited Mr. Chuang several times, but failed to recruit him. Although Mr. Chuang calls himself a reckless man, he is still brave and resourceful when he fights.
At this time, Liu Yiyun, Liu Li, and Yang Hao glanced at each other, but Liu Li hurriedly said, "General Yue, the three of us went south this time, mainly for weapons and armor. But we're different from Mr. Chuang. Mr. Chuang is borrowing, we are buying. ”
Yue Fei asked a little strangely, "Since it's a purchase, why don't you go directly to Yingtianfu?" ”
Liu Li hurriedly said, "We also heard that Ying Tianfu sells weapons and armor. But the amount we bought is very large, and I'm afraid that the armory shop can't be the master. So I came to General Yue on purpose. ”
"Extraordinarily large?" Yue Fei couldn't help but be interested. "How much armor are you going to buy?"
Liu Li was busy and arrogant, "I want 3,000 pieces of good cavalry armor and 5,000 pieces of good infantry armor." ”
Liu Yiyun continued, "I want 5,000 pieces of fine cavalry armor. 5,000 pieces of fine infantry armor. ”
Yang Hao thought for a moment before he said, "I want 10,000 pieces of fine infantry armor." Cavalry armor is not needed. ”
The three of them finished speaking, but they were stunned when they saw the generals of the Protector Army in the hall. Niu Gao muttered softly, "Some of the soldiers of our Third Division don't have armor yet. If you want to go 20,000 like this, won't our third division go into battle shirtless? Yue Shuai, don't look at money. ”
