Chapter Fifty-Six: Lips and Teeth
"It's too late to say this, Xiao Tao, Brother San Duo has sued today. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info open! Yang Sanduo pushed the little maid away and came out of the window.
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded: "Yang Sanduo, don't you know what day it is!" ”
Yang Sanduo looked back, but it was Xiao Douzi, who was dressed in brocade, standing behind him, with an angry expression. And behind Xiaodouzi is the little eunuch Yao Jianxing, who is extremely obedient and still holding a chicken in his arms.
"Uh・・・・・, Second Miss, there's really no way, the military situation is urgent! Forgiveness. Yang Sanduo looked helpless.
"Don't make a mess of it." Han Shizhong said in a deep voice.
Speechless. Yang Sanduo coughed dryly, came to the window, and opened his mouth to say, "Master Hou, there is an emergency military situation." ”
The incense tent is soft, the brocade is thin, the red candle is shining, and the slight aroma is lingering in the room, Liu Ping looked at Fang Jinzhi who was sleeping in his arms, with a smile, after tossing for a long time tonight, Fang Jinzhi's face has not faded, and a trace of hair on her cheeks is scattered on the tip of her nose, Liu Ping gently scratched her little nose, Fang Jinzhi sighed, opened her eyes, looked at Liu Ping, who had not yet fallen asleep, and said: "Why is Xianggong still restless." Go to sleep. After that, he stretched out his white arm and stretched out in Liu Ping's arms, and the fullness on his belly pocket made Liu Ping swallow his saliva, he had been fighting for a long time, and now he had a sense of tension. Fang Jinzhi suddenly touched a ball of hard objects, and hurriedly said: "The official spares his life, the slave family can't afford to toss." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, Xianggong will give you a new way to play, turn over, turn over, come on." Liu Ping said hehehe.
When he was messing around, he suddenly heard Yang Sanduo's voice outside the door and said, "Master Hou, General Han is coming, there is an urgent military situation." ”
When Liu Ping came out of the house with a black face and a coat, Yang Sanduo lowered his head and looked at the soles of his feet uneasily. For fear that Liu Ping would scold himself to death, he didn't dare to raise his head. Han Shizhong on his side was also a little embarrassed. Keep rubbing your hands. Liu Ping scolded with a smile: "What's the matter, if there is something, just talk about it." Lao Tzu was not scared by you into a stroke, even if Lao Tzu's good deeds were destroyed by you, I can't beat you up, let's say, what's the situation! ”
Han Shizhong smiled and said, "It's really urgent, so I bothered Master Hou." With that, his face froze, and he continued.
"Master Hou, there is a big mess in the Western Army."
Liu Ping said solemnly: "What kind of mess? What's going on, let's talk carefully! ”
"The people of the Western Army came at night, saying that the Western Thieves and the Fuliao Army of Lao Shizi crossed Hengshan and invaded the border states of our Great Song Dynasty, and the Linzhou Mansion was besieged, and the Jingyuan Army and Qin Fengjun led by the Xianggong were afraid that they would be more auspicious." Han Shizhong said.
"Tell me where the messenger is!" Liu Ping frowned.
"The last general has brought men." Han Shizhong turned his head to the guard beside him and said, "Ask the porter to bring the seed power over." ”
After a while, the power of planting came to the front. knelt directly on the ground, knocked his head several times, and his head was full of bloodstains, and said urgently: "Qin Fengjun's ranger captain has seen Liu Hou, my family is a commander and many brothers in the Northwest Army are trapped in Linzhou, please Liu Hou be gracious, and quickly send a powerful army to rescue Linzhou, I am grateful to Shaanxi Zhulu." ”
Liu Ping stared at Chong Li and said, "Could it be that Chong Shuai sent you out alone?" ”
Chongli said urgently: "The army is besieging the city. The commander sent I don't know how many scouts and jumping sergeants went out of the city to break through the siege and transmit the news, Bianliang, Luoyang, Yanjing, and more than a dozen waves of people broke through the siege, and most of them were chased and killed by the harrier army of the Western Thieves. But please be gracious to Liu Hou and save us!! ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Ping's eyes, looking at the general in front of him with chapped lips, anxious eyes, and speckled dark red blood stains on his armor, he didn't believe it immediately, Liu Ping said lightly: "How can I believe you?" Do you have a certificate? ”
"This... Liu Hou, I have never told a lie, if there is a lie just now, there will be five thunders in the sky!!" Seeing that Liu Ping didn't believe it, Chongli blushed and immediately swore to the sky. If you have a knife in your hand, you probably have to commit suicide to show your sincerity.
"Master Hou, it shouldn't be wrong, this kid can't deceive people, it's true." Han Shizhong said.
Liu Ping said: "Old Han, you believe it so? ”
"This is a handwritten letter from the Northwest Seed Master. You can see it at a glance. Han Shizhong hurriedly handed the letter in his arms to Liu Ping, and said about the situation of the Western Army at this moment. Liu Ping tore open the fire paint, took out the letter paper, and saw that it was a book written in blood asking for help, and the planter was sincere in the letter, and the words were also anxious, it seemed that the situation was indeed not optimistic.
Reading the letter, Liu Ping said in a loud voice: "Sanduo, order someone to go to the council hall to hold the lamp, and send someone to notify the generals and counselors of all ministries to go to the council hall to discuss matters." ”
"No!!" Yang Sanduo took the order and left.
In a short time, the hall was brightly lit, and all the people who had been drunk at night came one after another, and there was no sign of the smell of alcohol.
"What's the situation? Could it be that the golden dog is coming again? Niu Gao on one side said to Luda.
"Where does the Sprinkle family know. When he was sleeping soundly, he was called up by his relatives, saying that the Hou Ye had an order and there was an urgent military situation to discuss. Ruda snorted.
"If it's really a Jin person, my old cow's double trick is not a vegetarian, and there is no way back to discipline them." Niu Gao said angrily.
"Pull it down, when can you bring the sprinkler down, it's not too late to brag!" Ruda laughed.
"Humph!! What's so difficult about this, don't worry, sooner or later I'll put you down! Niu Gao said.
"Brother Yue, what do you say is going on? Could it be that it's a golden man or a sideliner? Niu Gao saw that Luda didn't have the heart to take care of himself, so he walked around to Yue Fei and said.
"I don't know!" Yue Fei replied even more simply, Niu Gao was bored, so he shook his head to find Yang Zaixing on the side. The two muttered something together.
On the other side, Nake and Lu Zhiqiao and other civil officials were also talking in low voices. I don't know what happened, but in the middle of the night, I called a meeting of people.
"Master Hou is here!!" With a singing promise, Liu Ping was dressed in light armor, took Han Shizhong, and walked to the conference hall, and everyone saluted. Liu Ping waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite." ”
Na Ke flashed out and said: "Master Hou, I don't know what kind of military situation is the late-night discussion?" ”
"Old Han, tell me about the situation." Liu Ping said to Han Shizhong.
"No!" Han Shizhong bowed and said, turned to everyone and said the matter. As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall was talking.
Lu Zhiqiao said: "Master Hou, is the news accurate?" ”
"It shouldn't be bad. This is a handwritten letter asking for help from the seed master, you can take a look. Liu Ping said. After that, he handed over the letter of help in his hand to Lu Zhiqiao, and everyone waited to read it.
At this moment, Yang Sanduo flashed in, came to Liu Ping, and delivered a confidential document to Liu Ping. He said in a low voice: "Master Hou, urgent information sent by the Military Command Department." ”
"Hmm~!" Liu Ping took the paperwork, glanced at it and said to everyone: "Our spy report has confirmed, the western thief has indeed crossed Hengshan, and Linzhou has surrounded it." It's urgent. ”
Liu Ping pondered for a moment and opened his mouth to say, "If you have any opinions, tell me." The siege of Linzhou Mansion, is it to help or to help? ”
"Master Hou, the Western Thief and the Western Army have not been fighting for a year or two, for more than a hundred years, it has not been broken, and now there is such a situation, it must be that the Western Thief has been planning for a long time, and all the departments of the Western Army are fighting on their own, and my Yongding Army is mainly facing the gold thief, although the gold thief has not made much movement, but if he rushes to support this time, I am afraid it is a little abrupt, after all, the imperial court has no will." Nak hesitated.
"Lord Nake, that's not what I said, this gold thief is an enemy, so isn't the western thief? It's all the feud of our Great Song Dynasty, why do you have to do this, my Yongding Army is originally to expel the enemy, isn't Yanzhou Zhulu my Great Song Dynasty territory! Han Shizhong said loudly.
"Hey~ Han General, this is not good, it is not possible to rescue the Xianggong, but it is also necessary to consider the actual situation, the people and horses of the Northwest Zhulu are not yet clear, and the roads from Yanjing to Shaanxi are not just said to arrive, thousands of miles away, the grain and grass are heavy, the sergeant armor, what can not be carefully planned, I Yongding Army has been on the expedition for a long time, and now is the time to cultivate, Han General is a fierce general in the Western Army, seeing that the robe was in trouble in the past, he was anxious, and he understood it in the future, but even if he wanted to support, this matter had to be discussed in the long run." Lu Zhiqiao persuaded.
"Humph! Procrastination and cover-up, don't you dislike the Western Army, yes, my old Han came out of the Western Army, but ・・・・・ I Lao Han doesn't mean this, the situation is indeed critical, if you don't save it, the vitality of the Western Army will be greatly damaged, and most of the northwest will be Western thieves at that time. Han Shizhong said.
"That is, although I am also a person from the Western Army, but I am now the Yongding Army, after all, they are all sergeants of the Great Song Dynasty, so it's okay to help, Master Hou, I am willing to lead three thousand troops to support." Ruda on the side also spoke up.
"Anyway, when I was fighting with the gold thief, the Western Army, the Western Army and the Western Army also helped my Yongding Army. Master Hou, I hope to send a team of men and horses to support. Zhang Jun on the side also said stubbornly.
"That's it! Don't be noisy! Liu Ping frowned and snorted. The crowd was immediately silenced. Liu Ping turned to Yue Fei, who had not said a word, and said, "Pengju, what is your opinion." ”
Yue Fei arched his hand and said, "Master Hou! After the death of the lips, the teeth can not be cold. If we don't go to the aid of the Western Army, we really have to wait for the Western Army to be destroyed, and when the time comes, all roads in the north will be full of enemy troops, and if there is trouble on another day, who can help us to stay in the army! The last general thought that he needed to help the Western Army. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was groaning. The heart is also sudden.
"It's a cold mouth. Pengju, tell me the reason! Liu Ping said.
"The last general thought that among the various departments of the Western Army, only the seed army of the Xianggong was the strongest. The rest of the troops are slightly inferior, if left alone, the family army suffered heavy casualties, and the northwest is in danger, if so, the west thief has to inch in, all the way south, together with the Jin people, then my Great Song Dynasty is the enemy on both sides, for today's plan, is to help the Xiang Gong relieve the siege of Linzhou, and moreover, I Yongding army cultivation for several months, the Jin people have no big movement, and now the recruit training is almost completed, and it is also necessary to see blood. This time it should also be used for military training. Moreover, the land of the northwest, although it is bitterly cold, but the land east of the northwest river is a land for producing horses, and the horses of my Yongding army are still very lacking in cavalry. If you can attack properly, you may not be able to gather the cavalry's horses a little. Yue Fei said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, it does make sense." Liu Ping said in a deep voice. "This time we really need to go to the aid of the Western Army. It's just that how to help really needs to be carefully discussed. In addition to Qin Fengjing and Yuan's two roads, the movements of the rest of the Western Army are not very clear, and most of the Yao family army and the Zhejia army retreat to their respective stations and fight offensive and defensive battles with the Western thieves. But they didn't work together to help Linzhou, it seems that these two people are happy to see the family army weakened by the western thieves, so that their own family and horses can have more words in the northwest, but the vision is really long-term. The seed master is also sick and rushed to the doctor, forget it, no matter what he has The court has issued an edict or not, so help us as a seed minister! ”
