Chapter 63: Spoiling the Situation
Chen Qi is very comfortable and leisurely tasting the new tea picked by the mountain people, the mountain spring water is boiled and invaded, the fragrance is light and clear, and the aftertaste is long. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Drinking this tea brewed from boiling water, Chen Qi seemed to remember that his former boss Wang Yan just loved to drink tea, and his love of tea was really forced out by Wang Yan. But what the leader likes, the people below must also like it. Although Wang Yan unfortunately died, he was to blame, and he didn't dare to rebel with a good official position in the Great Song Dynasty, hum, it was really immeasurable. There is also that Liu Ping, who has to hit the stone with an egg, and he has to go to the golden man Wanyan Zongwang. It's ridiculous, who do you think you are? actually dared to resist Yan Zongwang's army, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's heart before entering the city, he escaped with a group of subordinates, I am afraid that he would have been cut into pulp by the Jin people. But he never expected that he, Liu Ping, would really guard the Daimyo's Mansion and drive away Wanyan Zongwang alive. Thinking of Liu Ping's cold eyes when he killed Wang Ziming in the barracks that day, Chen Qi shuddered violently in his heart. Silently described Liu Ping in two words: "Cattle!" β
But no matter what, the people held the Daimyo's Mansion, and they did escape with more than 3,000 deserters, and they were separated by hundreds during the night, leaving only more than 2,000 people. If I go back, I'm afraid I will have to be cut off by Liu Ping. I simply went up to this Nianzi Mountain. I heard that they also robbed the military food transported from Cangzhou, isn't that Liu Ping's military food, hmph, Liu Ping is a fierce guy, if he knows that this group of guys robbed him of his military food, I'm afraid it will not be endless, wait for Lao Tzu to take them down the mountain with a little trick, to join the Great Song Dynasty, when the time comes, this group of rogues will not have to listen to me obediently, when the time comes, I will take this group of rogues into the Zongze Lord, I'm afraid I will be promoted, although I am just a small general, but that is also a regular Song Dynasty general, with titles and seals. Zong Shuai also knows himself. When the time comes, he said that he went out to suppress bandits, and recruited such a group of rogues, wouldn't he shirk the crime of escaping from the Daimyo's mansion?
Thinking of this, Chen Qi couldn't help laughing. Cao Cheng wants to return to the imperial court, just to hold his weakness, the second Cao Liang is a reckless man, he has no brains, so he doesn't have to worry about it, but the third Yang Zaixing, don't look at it, he is just a milky teenager, but he is a difficult character. It's time to do the math.
A minion ran in and saluted Chen Qi and said, "General Chen, the big boss is invited!" β
"Oh~ Okay, got it, I'll go over right away." Chen Qi took a leisurely sip of tea and said unhurriedly.
With little effort, in the council hall of this temporary walled city, a stout man in his thirties sat on the chair above, and next to him sat the black-faced second master and the young and immature third master.
"Brother Cheng, this official army is capricious, do we really want to take refuge in the Song army?" The young three-master arched his hand at the man in the upper position.
"That's it, big brother, I see that the surname Chen is not coming from the right way, saying that he is Marshal Zongze's subordinate general, guarding the Daimyo's Mansion, but I asked the brothers to inquire at the foot of the mountain, and now the defender of the Daimyo's Mansion is called Liu Ping." The black-faced second master also said.
"Big brother, since ancient times, officials and bandits have not been separated, although the people from Shuibo Liangshan voted for the Great Song Dynasty, they were not sent to Jiangnan. Attack Fang La. Driving tigers and killing wolves is a common trick used by officials and soldiers. β
The middle-aged man waved his hand, signaled the two of them not to say more, and said lightly: "We are different from those bandits, my Cao family is loyal and good, and when I was in Shenzong, I was also a good man who fought with the army and Liao Dog, if it wasn't for the corrupt officials who framed me, how could I have risen up." The incident was purely helpless, and one road went to the dark, and there was no good end. β
The man sighed, and then said: "Second brother, Zaixing, you two are too worried, I heard that the sect commander is a person who has the courage to treat his subordinates leniently, and we go to him to get a bright future for his brothers, and nest in the mountains all day long, do you think my heart will be happy!" ~ I don't know that Chen Qi didn't have any good intentions, but this is the only way we can get online with the official army, we first arrived in Yandi, which of the heroes in Yandi is willing to take us in! Only by getting in touch with Da Song can we have a way to live, otherwise, thousands of brothers and sisters will open their mouths and wait to eat, how long do you think we can last. I can't let the brothers all suffer at the hands of my Cao Cheng. "It turns out that the person who spoke was Cao Cheng, the leader of this gang of rogues. This person turned out to be a big family in the state capital, and the officials in the city took a fancy to Cao Cheng's family business that day, so they forcibly seized it. Cao Cheng was forced to have no choice, so he led people to kill the dog official and rose up. Now that he has been fighting and retreating, he has arrived in Yan Land.
"If there is no food, let's go and grab it, and the living can still suffocate their urine to death?" The young three masters who are known as Zaixing are dissatisfied.
"Yes, we have killed all the way from Daozhou, who have you ever feared? Didn't just grab a large amount of grain last time. That's enough for our brother to eat for more than a year. The second boss also said.
"Don't mention that batch of food, I always feel a little uneasy about taking this batch of food, and I'm afraid that something will happen. Have you ever thought about it, when we started the incident, there were more than 3,000 people, and they fought all the way until now, and they were killed and injured. There are only a thousand people left. Now in this swallow land, we are not familiar with life, how long can we last? Cao Cheng said helplessly.
"Big brother does his best to destroy his own prestige." The third master pouted.
As he spoke, he heard a minion walk in, knelt on the ground and said, "The three masters, General Chen is here." β
"Yes, you know, let's get out." Cao Cheng waved his hand. Suddenly, Chen Qi walked into the conference hall in a neat Song Army armor.
"General Chen is here. Quick, take a seat. Cao Cheng had a smile on his face.
"I've seen the big boss!" Chen Qi is also welcome. With a slight arch of his hand, he sat on a chair. A full official appearance, the three masters pursed their lips with a look of disdain.
Chen Qi just didn't see it, and looked at Cao Chengdao with a smile: "How is the big boss thinking about it?" When did you get up and follow a certain family to Cizhou and see Zong Shuai. β
"General Chen, don't worry, there are more than 1,000 people in the cottage, things, weapons, and food need to be sorted out, and bags and equipment also need to be sorted out, how can it be so fast." Cao Cheng said with a smile, turned his tone and said solemnly: "It's easy to get up, I'm sincerely voting to Song, and I want to follow Zong Shuai to drive away the Jin people, but I don't know how Zong Shuai should place me." β
"Don't worry about it, the day before yesterday, I sent someone to contact Zong Shuai, and Zong Shuai replied that Brother Cao, if you sincerely surrender to Song, let the brothers lay down their arms outside Cizhou City. There is absolutely no problem with the rank of a seven-rank military general, and when the time comes, all the brothers of the righteous army will also be the officers and soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be nice to eat the food and salary of the Great Song Dynasty! Chen Qi said with confidence.
"Humph! You sent someone down the mountain to Cizhou? Hmph, there has to be some basis for nonsense, I patrol the mountain gate every day, how have I ever seen you go down the mountain with a soldier? The three masters, known as Zaixing, said coldly.
"Uh... ThisΒ·Β· It was you and the big boss who went out to borrow food that day, so I didn't see it. Chen Qi blushed and said. He did send someone down the mountain, but the person who sent the letter went down the mountain and there was no news, but he didn't know where he had gone.
"Humph! Full of fancy, but not a word of use. The three masters said coldly.
"Hey... Zaixing, don't be so rude! The black-faced second brother hurriedly got up and said to Chen Qi: "My third brother is a straight man, if there is anything offended, I, Cao Liang, will make amends to General Chen!" It turned out that the second leader was Cao Cheng's younger brother Cao Liang. Seeing that the three masters were too impulsive, they were afraid that their eldest brother would be difficult to do, so they stopped him and apologized.
"Third child, Hugh is rude, quickly apologize to General Chen." Cao Cheng was also displeased.
"I apologize for this coward, huh! There are no doors! The three masters grabbed the spear on their side and pointed it at Chen Qi, the tip of which was less than half an inch away from Chen Qi's chest. said angrily: "I Yang Zaixing apologizes no, but poking a few holes in people's bodies with a gun is very skillful, do you want to try!" β
"You!! Don't you dare!! Chen Qi's face was pale, and his body trembled slightly with fright, but he knew that the little evil star in front of him was a demon king who killed people without blinking, and he said that killing was really killing. looked at Cao Cheng helplessly, and shouted in his mouth: "Master Cao, don't hurry up and discipline your subordinates!" β
"Yang Zaixing! It's against you, dare to be presumptuous in front of the nobles of the Great Song Dynasty, quickly put away the gun and let me out! Cao Cheng hurriedly stood up and shouted at the three masters.
If Liu Ping is there, I'm afraid I'll have to keep my eyes open again, it turns out that this kid is actually Yang Zaixing, who is the enemy of 10,000 people!!
"Big brother! Do you really believe this nonsense? Yang Zaixing shouted!
"It's you who is talking nonsense! Looking for you to come back is to let you discuss the matter of going down the mountain to recruit peace, how dare you be so presumptuous! Put the gun down! Get out!!! Cao Cheng said angrily.
"Big brother!!" Yang Zaixing said angrily.
"Get out !!" Cao Cheng said with a dark face.
"Third brother, get out quickly, don't upset the eldest brother again." Cao Liang pulled Yang Zaixing up and said.
"Humph!!" After all, Yang Zaixing is a young man, and he can't stand being wronged, so he immediately snorted coldly, shook off Cao Liang and pulled his arm out of the hall angrily.
Cao Cheng looked at Chen Qi with an apologetic face and said respectfully: "General Chen, it was my lax discipline that frightened General Chen." β
Chen Qi had palpitations on his face, and shouted after watching Yang Zaixing walk away: "Shaft, I really don't know how to be polite!" β
"Quick! Serve tea, serve good tea, and give General Chen a shock! It's all because I'm not strict in discipline, and General Chen must not hold a grudge. Cao Cheng got up and said with a smile.
After a while, Chen Qi relieved himself, regained his official spirit, and said lightly while sipping tea: "Where did we talk about it just now, oh... It is necessary to send weapons in Cizhou City to show the sincerity of Cao Dangjia's sincere submission to my Great Song Dynasty! β
