Chapter 5: The Righteous Knot Jin Lan
Zhang Jun looked at Liu Ping, who was immediately holding up Pu Luhun's head, and pouted: "What a guy who has taken shit luck." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Yue Fei in the distance glanced at Liu Ping without a trace of expression on his face. A black-faced man beside Yue Fei said: "Brother Yue, the captain of the Xiang Military Academy who cut the commander of the Jin people is also a character. No, no. β
"Brother Niu Gao, don't say more." Yue Fei said calmly, first follow me to General Wang's side to resume his life.
"Well, my old cow listens to my brother, but Wang Yan's identity as the master has repeatedly suppressed my brothers, and his merits are not rewarded, which makes people angry, with your brother's military merits, you should have been promoted to a captain a long time ago, but he suppressed it was still a daring soldier captain, and my old cow really wanted to strangle that handful of birds."
"Brother, Hugh has to talk nonsense" Yue Fei said coldly, "You and my brother joined the army, in order to protect the country and the people, and drive away the gold thieves, is it for a mere official position, these words will not be mentioned again in the future." β
"Yes!" Niu Gao replied hatefully, and flew to Wang Yan's side with Yue Fei.
"I've seen the king, general, and my subordinates have come to return to my life" Yue Fei put away his gun, and Tima came to Wang Yan, who was surrounded by a team of personal soldiers.
Wang Yan straightened the folded sleeves on the wrist of the armor, squinted his eyes and said, "Well, I know, go down and help the other robes to clean up the battlefield." The voice was impatient.
"You!!" Niu Gao next to him saw that Wang Yan treated Yue Fei so coldly, and was about to scold, but was stopped by Yue Fei.
"The subordinates retired." Yue Fei pulled Niu Gao and gave a military salute, turned around and left.
"Hmph, I don't know what to do." Wang Yan looked at Yue Fei who was leaving, and said coldly.
"Zhang Jun, the captain of the Xiangjun Renyong, has seen the general Wang. Thank you, the king, for rushing to the rescue of Cangzhou in time," Zhang Jun, who came on horseback, dismounted and said.
"Oh, hehe, it turned out to be Captain Zhang, hehe, fighting hard, hehe, it's really a talent, how is your uncle?" Wang Yan immediately smiled when he saw Zhang Jun coming. It turned out that Wang Yan and Zhang Wei, the commander of the Cangzhou Xiang Army, were old acquaintances, so they naturally knew Zhang Wei's nephew Zhang Jun.
"King Meng will be concerned about the lord, my uncle is all right, please go into the city to rest." Zhang Jun hurriedly gave way.
"Okay, that's it, you're welcome, hehe, follow me into the city to visit Li Xiang and all the adults in the city," Wang Yan said with a smile.
Above the city tower, Li Gang looked at the sound of "God bless the Great Song" coming from the battlefield under the city, tears flowed down his face, and muttered: "God bless the Great Song, God bless the Great Song." β
"Congratulations to Li Xiang, great victory, great victory," an official said excitedly.
"Thanks to Li Xiang's calm and commanding in a good way." Zhang Wei smiled on the side and said respectfully, the so-called thousands of wears, but sycophants are not worn. Now that the siege has been relieved, the officials naturally want to flatter in front of the officials.
"Hey, it's all the result of our army's sons and daughters fighting bravely and fighting to the death, how can I Li Gang be virtuous, how dare I be greedy for merit, hehe, everyone, follow me out of the city to meet the soldiers outside the city."
Outside the city, many people in the city have left the city and are cleaning the battlefield, Liu Ping sat on his horse and slowly followed the army in the city back to the inner city.
Li Gang and the others went down to the city tower at this time, stood outside the city, and saw Wang Yan and a cadre of sergeants coming, stroking their beards and smiling. Wang Yan turned over and dismounted, knelt on one leg and hugged his fists and said: "The lowly Wang Yan rescue is late, I hope Li Xiang will forgive his sins." β
"Haha, what is General Wang's crime, please hurry up. Cangzhou was besieged, thanks to the general's timely arrival, hehe. The old man thanked the general for the people of Cangzhou. Li Gang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help. Wang Yan stood up, and Zhang Wei next to him stepped forward and arched his hand, "Thank you Brother Wang for your rescue." β
"Brother Zhang, it's serious, you and I are friendly troops, Cangzhou is besieged, Zong Shuai is anxious, and urgently orders me to come to the rescue, lest the rescue be late, it is the duty to rescue Cangzhou, how to talk about the grace of rescue." Wang Yan bowed his hand and saluted.
"Come, all the soldiers have worked hard, go to the city first, the lower officials have already set up a banquet, and the generals will be invited to the banquet." Hu Zhongxing smiled and stretched out his hand to invite. And they went into the city.
Liu Ping followed slowly into the city, at this time Yue Fei, Zhang Jun and others also rode their horses and turned back, and the head of the Jurchens was tied to seven or eight Jurchens under the horse, and rushed past Liu Ping like a gust of wind like an invitation, turned his head to look at Liu Ping and sneered: "This Captain Liu's riding skills are really not very good, haha." "Say goodbye and ride away.
Liu Ping looked at Zhang Jun coldly and didn't say a word, just went into the city by himself, and at this time, Yue Fei and a few people also rode horses to Liu Ping's approach. Yue Fei reined in the horse's head, smiled and arched his hand to Liu Ping and said, "This captain is really brave, he actually killed the Golden Dog Commander alone. β
Liu Ping saw Yue Fei's sincere face, and there was no trace of ridicule in his words. I saw that Yue Fei's horse was not tied to the head of a Jurchen Tartar, but he knew that the golden soldiers killed by Yue Fei might be able to hang the horses under him all over their bodies. With a wry smile on his face, he also arched his hand: "Yue, Brother Yue, it's funny, it's just a coincidence, it's just that Brother Yue is a real hero, real kung fu, and it's admirable." β
"Haha, of course, my brother's martial arts are strong, if he meets the master, I'm afraid, with my brother's merits, it will be more than enough to be a general." The big black man next to him stepped forward and said.
"Niu Gao, Hugh is talking nonsense." Yue Fei reprimanded Niu Gao, and then turned his hand to Liu Ping and said, "Lord Lieutenant, I am smiling, this is my brother Niu Gao, a straight fighting man, which makes Shangguan smile."
Yue Fei's position is now just a small daring warrior Wu Chang, and his official position is naturally not as big as Liu Ping's, and he should be called an adult in his mouth, but Liu Ping, who is a later generation, saw that the national heroes of China called himself so respectfully, and he felt awkward in his heart, and he was busy: "This Niu brother is really a straightforward person, hehe, straightforward and cute." β
The two sides talked speculatively, one had a heart to make friends, the other secretly admired, and after a while, they became familiar with each other. Yue Fei introduced Liu Ping: "These are my sworn brothers, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui. β
The three sturdy men bowed to Liu Ping one after another, calling Liu Lieutenant, and Liu Ping also returned the salute. I secretly said in my heart,, these are also fierce people. Immediately, he was even more enthusiastic about Yue Fei's brothers. They greeted each other and rode into the inner city.
The people in the inner city, led by the local gentry, set up drinks and meals on the side of the road, and invited the soldiers into the city to eat. As soon as Liu Ping entered the city, he was surrounded by several people, and in the face of the simple and sincere faces and the food slurry offered by his hands, Liu Ping's heart seemed to be moved by something, and his eyes were slightly red. It's just that Liu Ping's tired body really couldn't eat anything, so he barely drank a bowl of rice porridge and entered the city.
Entering the city, Liu Ping was arranged to rest in the camp, Li Gang sent people to properly arrange for the many sergeants who were killed and wounded on the battlefield, and led a group of officials to come with wine and meat to reward the meritorious people. and personally drank a bowl of wine with Liu Ping. Liu Ping hurriedly made a frightened and glorious look, with an expression of daring to die for the adult, and three bowls in a row. Said respectfully: "The defeat of the Jin soldiers this time is all thanks to the good command of the lord, and many soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty have died in the service. Humble duty is just doing one's own duty, and my lord praised it. β
Li Gang laughed when he said it, and called Liu Ping really a straightforward and good man. Don't be arrogant. Wang Yan, who was watching it, snorted coldly, and secretly said that a small lieutenant deserved such praise from Li Xiang, it was really shit luck. Zhang Wei on the side saw all this in his eyes, and saw that Li Gang liked this Liu Ping so much, and secretly thought about rewarding his merits and deeds, what kind of official position should be arranged for this kid, so as to win him over by his side.
Li Gang and the officers went to visit the other soldiers, Liu Ping and Yue Fei and others found a sparsely populated barracks in the barracks, sat together, and ate and drank heavily. In the Song Dynasty, there was already a grain wine with high alcohol purity, but the process was rough, and the degree of course could not reach the purity of modern distilled spirits, and it was more than 20 degrees, as Liu Ping of later generations, when the dormitory roommates had dinner in the university, the 58-degree Red Star Erguotou could drink 2 and a half catties of wine, at this time, the wine of this degree was like drinking water, and still invited Yue Fei and his brothers to raise a glass, Liu Ping did not refuse to come, the cup was to the bottom, his face was not red and he was not panting, and after a while, he killed 3 jars of wine alone, Yue Fei and others who watched it smacked their tongues, calling out a large amount, and Liu Ping told a few classic inspirational stories of later generations, and the bluffing Yue Fei and others were envious, and called the eldest husband to be loyal to the country, kill the enemy, and win a lifetime of fame. The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they were very happy. Immediately, Yue Fei proposed that a few people worship as brothers of the opposite sex, and several people shouted and agreed, and they all said the age ranking, Liu Ping is twenty-one years old, Yue Fei is twenty, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Wang Guiju are all the same age, nineteen years old, but they are arranged by month, only Niu Gao is the youngest, eighteen years old, but he has a stubble on his face, and his big black face is laughed at by everyone.
Several people found incense and candles, stuck them in the ground, found a sharp blade, cut their wrists and bleed into the wine jar, poured wine glasses, raised them all above their heads, and knelt on the ground in unison and shouted:
"The sky is above, today Liu Ping, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Wang Gui, Niu Gao, today they are brothers with different surnames, work together, help the poor, report to the country, and go down to Lishu. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are the ones who have learned from this heart. Betrayal and ingratitude, heaven and man kill together!! β
After drinking the blood wine, they kowtowed eight heads to the ground in unison, got up with each other, and ranked the size, Liu Ping was the largest, and there was a big brother, Yue Fei was the second, Zhang Xian was the third, Tang Huai was the fourth, Wang Gui was the fifth, and Niu Gao became the youngest sixth. The big brothers and brothers kept shouting. When he returned to the wine table, he drank a dark cow drink, and drank straight until he drank the Yue Fei brothers unconscious in the second half of the night, Liu Ping shook his already heavy head, got up and went back to the barracks arranged for him, and fell asleep on the gums.
The next day, Liu Ping hastily washed his face, ate some food, and then heard a summons from a small school, went to the school field, on the school field, Li Gang, accompanied by Zhang Wei and Wang Yan, stood on the high platform of the school field, read out the results of the battle loudly, defeated more than 5,000 Jin troops, and reported to the imperial court. Meritorious service to the sergeants. There were five or six large boxes in front of the high platform, and when I opened them, I saw that they were all full of gold and silver, and distributed them to the soldiers on the school grounds. The Yue Fei brothers also received the silver reward, and they all asked Liu Ping to eat and drink, and Liu Ping agreed with a smile. Liu Ping also wanted to line up to receive the reward, but when he arrived, the official in charge of distributing the reward said: "Captain Liu, this is all for ordinary soldiers, you captured and killed the enemy chieftain, and now no one in the city knows, no one knows, that is a great achievement, the Xuanfu envoy said that there is another reward for you." Don't be here to ask for these little bucks. β
"Thank you Shangguan for reminding me, I was abrupt." Liu Ping scratched his head embarrassedly and turned around to leave the team, but saw that Yue Fei's brothers were waiting for him there, and asked him to go to the wine shop in the city to eat. Liu Ping said to Yue Fei: "You wait to go first, I have something to do, and then I'll arrive." β
"Big brother, go and come back quickly, the brothers are waiting for you at the Fuqing restaurant in the city." Yue Fei said.
A few people left first, Liu Ping walked straight out of the barracks, ran to the deserted temple in the city, entered the deserted temple, and shouted loudly, "Xiaodouzi, where are you?" β
