Chapter 9: A Reckless Man
The next day, Zhao Ming and Dou Lan got up early, and after breakfast, it was only seven o'clock in the morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After saying goodbye to Dou Lan and his mother, Zhao Ming got on his horse and went to Yuyang City.
Dou Lan and Zhao's mother stood at the entrance of the village and watched Zhao Mingyuan's back, until they saw no trace of him, and then returned home together.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Yuyang City, there was a rough laugh from the city gate: "Hahaha, Brother Zhao, you are here!" ”
With this voice, Dou Jingye walked out, wearing armor and mighty.
Seeing Dou Jingye like this, Zhao Ming knew that the military power of Yuyang City was definitely in his hands, and he dismounted and said with a smile: "Brother Jingye is so happy, what he planned must have been successful!" ”
"Haha, that's nature, now it's just waiting for you to come up with advice, if it's feasible, we'll leave today!" Dou Jingye said with a laugh.
Zhao Ming handed the reins in his hand to a subordinate beside Dou Jingye, and said, "Brother Jingye, you let people find some gunpowder, it will be of great use against the Khitans!" ”
"Gunpowder? What is it? Dou Jingye wondered when he heard this.
"You don't know gunpowder?" Looking at Dou Jingye's appearance, Zhao Ming had some differences in his heart: This is not scientific, it stands to reason that gunpowder was used in the army when the Tang Dynasty was not destroyed, why didn't he know?
Dou Jingye nodded blankly.
Dou Jingye really didn't know that gunpowder was first used in the military in 904 AD by Yang Xingmi in the south, but it was not widely used.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming sighed and said: "Then you ask people to find some saltpeter, sulfur and aristolochia, all of which are ground into powder, and then the amount of sulfur and saltpeter is two coins each, and the amount of aristolochia is three and a half coins, stir them together, and then put some small stones in it, wrap them in paper, and it's done." Do it in total...... Brother Jingye, how many soldiers are there in our Yuyang City? ”
"Ah, oh, counting the ones just recruited, there are more than 1,500 soldiers in total." Dou Jingye was a little confused when he heard Zhao Ming ask him, and he was stunned for a moment before coming back.
"Well, let's make five hundred portions!" Zhao Ming listened and said.
"Okay...... Hey, no, Brother Zhao, you're not going to take five hundred people to stop the Khitans, right? Hearing that Zhao Ming said to make five hundred copies, Dou Jingye asked.
"Dedicated big brother is as wise as a torch!" Zhao Ming said with a smile.
"No way!" Dou Jingye heard this and refused loudly: "How can five hundred people do it?" I can't joke with the lives of the soldiers! ”
"Brother Jingye, don't worry, I'm going with you this time, do you think I'm going to joke with my life?" Zhao Ming said with a straight face.
"This ...... Probably not. Dou Jingye hesitated.
"Naturally not, I'm so smart!" Zhao Ming said with a raised corner of his mouth.
"Okay, I'll follow you to Boyi!" Dou Jingye thought for a moment and patted the city wall.
"Then Brother Jingye, hurry up and ask someone to buy the things I just said."
Hearing Zhao Ming's voice, Dou Jingye's face suddenly became embarrassed.
"What's wrong, Brother Jingye?" Zhao Ming asked strangely.
"That, what are all those things you want me to get, I, hehe, I forgot about that mess just now." Dou Jingye said embarrassedly.
The corners of Zhao Ming's mouth twitched, and he cried bitterly in his heart: My feelings were in vain just now!
"Brother Jingye, I'll tell your people directly, save some trouble."
"Well, that's okay, I'll say it, you know, I'm most annoyed by this kind of chewing words!" Dou Jingye said with a smile.
Zhao Ming ignored him, and directly followed a soldier beside him to talk about what Fang had just said, and asked him to take someone to get it.
The little soldier had just run towards the city, and Zhao Ming shouted from behind: "Eh, brother! Remember to get some needlework and rope, the more the better, I'll be of great use! ”
The soldier answered from afar, and took the three of them to buy these things.
After the little soldier left, Zhao Ming said to Dou Jingye: "Brother Jingye, take me to meet the two generals sent by the Jiedu envoy." ”
"What are you doing with them?" Dou Jingye asked.
"Brother Jingye, you left with five hundred people, our soldiers in Yuyang City, but the dragons are leaderless, and they are new soldiers, there must be someone to take charge of the matter." Zhao Ming said to Dou Jingye.
"Oh, yes." Dou Jingye nodded when he heard the sound and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the two of them, haha, you don't know, when I took someone to tie up the two of them yesterday, they didn't dare to put a fart!" ”
"Huh? Uh, okay, let's go. Zhao Ming was embarrassed when he heard this, and he was really reckless: "That, big brother Jingye, what if we take the troops away and they cause sabotage in the rear?" ”
"Oh, it's okay, just say to the soldiers left behind when I leave, we definitely won't take all the veterans away anyway, right?" Dou Jingye said disapprerovitically.
"This, okay."
……
The two generals sent by Zhao Dejun were tied up by Dou Jingye and thrown in the dungeon.
When Zhao Ming followed Dou Jingye to the dungeon, sniffing the tide, and seeing the appearance of the two generals, he was really impressed by Dou Jingye's toughness.
I saw that the two of them were tied up with five flowers, and there was a cloth ball in their mouths, and each of them had a five-finger print on their faces, and when they saw Dou Jingye coming, one of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting with a whine in his mouth, and the other stood in the cage, staring at Dou Jingye with both eyes, and shouting in his mouth.
Zhao Ming knew that although the two of them shouted the same, the words they shouted must be different.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming turned his head to look at Dou Jingye, and said helplessly: "Brother Jingye, you are really fierce!" ”
Dou Jingye laughed loudly, and said again and again: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" ”
The corners of Zhao Ming's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and said, "Brother Jingye, open the prison door." ”
Dou Jingye waved his hand, and a jailer stepped forward to open the cell door.
Zhao Ming hurriedly walked in, helped the general who was kneeling on the ground up, and said jokingly: "Oh, this general, why did you kneel on the ground, hurry up, hurry up, this big gift boy can't afford it!" ”
The man was helped up by Zhao Ming, his eyes looked at Zhao Ming gratefully, and a 'woo woo' sound came out of his mouth.
Zhao Ming didn't have the idea of helping him take off the cloth ball in his mouth and untie the rope on his body, and said with doubts on his face: "This general, what are you talking about, I don't understand!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the jailer next to him and asked, "Eh, brother, do you understand what he said?" ”
The jailer forced a smile and said, "My lord, he asked you to take off the cloth from his mouth. ”
When Zhao Ming heard this, he made a sudden realization, took off the cloth ball in his mouth, and blamed him in his mouth: "Oh, oh, it turns out that the general means this, then you have to make it clear, fortunately, there are people around me now, if there is no one around me, I don't understand what you mean, how can I help you, don't you say?" ”
The cloth ball in the man's mouth was taken out, he took a few deep breaths, and said gratefully: "What the Lord said is yes, I hope the Lord will untie the rope on my body." ”
When Zhao Ming heard this, he reached out to untie the rope on his body, and said in his mouth: "Look, how good this is, as soon as you say it, I will understand, and then I can help you untie it, you said that if you are still like just now, woo woo woo for a long time, I don't know anything, I don't know how to help you!" But you should know if you're wrong, that's good, that's good! ”
The rope was untied, and the man moved his muscles and bones, and when he heard the whining of the other person, he stepped forward to untie the rope from his body.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming glanced at Dou Jingye, Dou Jingye was stunned when he saw this, and shouted: "What are you going to do!" ”
The man's outstretched hand shook when he heard the sound, and he quickly took it back, then looked at Zhao Ming, and said tremblingly: "This lord, you see ......"
Seeing that he begged for himself, the corners of Zhao Ming's mouth raised, and he looked at Dou Jingye with a reproachful face, and said, "Brother Jingye, how can you treat our friends like this!" ”
As he spoke, he untied the rope on the general who was looking at Dou Jingye angrily, and said, "This general, you are enduring it, and I will untie it for you." ”
As soon as the rope was untied, the general pushed Zhao Ming away, took off the cloth ball in his mouth, stretched out his hand and pointed to Dou Jingye and said: "The surname Dou, you are finished, I want to report you to the Jiedu envoy!" ”
