Chapter 81: Confrontation

When the flag is a little closer, you can see that the highest level is the general flag of Zhang Er, the middle of the flag is very strange, not the general flag, nor the governor's military flag, of course, it is not Xiong Tingbi's strategic flag, the banner of Zhang Liugao is fluttering in the wind in the middle of the team, there are a lot of big characters written on it, but it is far away, and it is not clear at all.

The team is closer, it can be seen that the queue is seriously unorganized, along the front of the official road are some cavalry, about three or five hundred horsemen, in a column on the official road and on both sides, there are some crops in the field, instantly trampled by these cavalry and destroyed clean, some people who cultivate the land have already let go, at this time there is a wailing sound, after being passed by these cavalry, their hard work is in vain.

Then down is a large area of infantry, about 10,000 people, these soldiers and horses were led by hundreds of flags, but the team walked the seven and eight flags, pushing each other, some places are very sparse, some places are crowded fast and can't walk, these people's clothes are a small number of Ming Army's unique red, there are also some soldiers wearing cyan armor, most of them are wearing shabby black and gray cotton jackets, the weaving and dyeing industry of the Ming Dynasty has been very developed, but ordinary people can only wear undyed gray cloth, these overwhelming soldiers in front of them, It is composed of the most ordinary military households.

After another half an hour, the brigade finally arrived, more than 10,000 people looked boundless, as if they could not see the edge at a glance, but the team was mixed and scattered, and the weapons were obviously incomplete, most of the people were even bare-handed, only a few in the middle of the battle had the appearance of soldiers, wearing red battle jackets or long and short armor. Wearing felt hats or blue folded scarves, and holding spears or swords, the small number of cavalrymen also gathered under the central flag.

By this time everyone had seen clearly. The banner in the middle was written with the words "Ordered to recruit Yong to capture Liu", Xiong Tingbi saw it and couldn't help but sneer.

"My lord," Gao Xiaosan whispered beside Han Xu, "Except for those cavalry and the infantry soldiers and horses in the middle, most of the other subordinates are homeless." ”

Han Xu sneered and said, "Of course, otherwise where would Liu Guojin find so many people to come out." It's a trick. ”

Liu Guojin's recruitment, Han Xu is very clear. I was full of contempt in my heart.

At this time, hundreds of people rode horses from the center, and dozens of sedan chairs were clustered in the middle, and the cavalry had to press the war horses to prevent them from galloping. trotted forward, after half a ring, the sedan chair was finally lifted not far before Xiong Tingbi, and the men stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, first Gao, Fu Guo, Hu Jiadong and others, and then the middle sedan curtain opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties came out of the sedan chair. Looking left and right, his eyes were full of arrogance.

"Gong Xiong, there is a hard work. The lower officials are ashamed and dare not be. ”

"It doesn't matter." Xiong Tingbi turned over and dismounted, his face was expressionless, and his voice was dry: "My feet are here by order of the court, the court system is precious, if there is a will, please pass it on as soon as possible." ”

"Xiong Gong is still the old temper of the year. Acute sub. ”

"Lord Yao is the same as back then, I don't know if official business comes first."

As soon as Xiong Tingbi and Yao Zongwen met, they were like needles facing Maimang. Between words, there is no compromise.

Yao Zongwen laughed a few times dryly and said, "Gong Xiong today, I don't expect Xia Guan to come back. ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "Lord Yao said these irrelevant words again, whether you rise again or not, it has nothing to do with you. ”

Yao Zongwen's face showed anger, he met Liu Guojin a few days ago, and the other party gave him 20,000 taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money, Yao Zongwen came all the way from Beijing, and he only gained a few thousand taels, and he received this huge amount of money at once, which strengthened his determination to help Liu Guojin attack Xiong Tingbi.

A few years ago, Yao Zongwen was dismissed from office, and later tried to recover, Xiong Tingbi treated him well back then, so he asked Xiong Tingbi to write a book, but Xiong Tingbi had hated his people and categorically refused, Yao Zongwen later thought of other ways, and finally recovered, this time he came to Liaoyang, even if there was no Liu Guojin and others, Yao Zongwen would never rest with Xiong Tingbi. …

"Xiong Gong, please take the lead."

Yao Zongwen had no upper hand in words, so he had to take out the order to patrol Liaodong and inspect the will of the armament, grain and grass, read it out in public, and after receiving the order, the official business was over, but Yao Zongwen pointed to the long trench that stretched for dozens of miles in front of Liaoyang, and said casually: "Xiong Gong is a strategy, and he doesn't think about attacking the enemy, but he only knows how to build a trench and defend himself, and consume the people's grain and grass in vain. ”

Xiong Tingbi was furious in his heart, and he had the heart to defend a few words, but looking at the surrounding martial arts, no one came forward to speak for him, his heart was cold, his face was as pale as iron, and he didn't say a word.

"Lord Yao's words are wrong." Han Xu stepped forward and said loudly: "When Jing Luo first arrived in Liaoyang, the people's hearts collapsed, the people were not ready, and there were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses on the school field, most of them were bare-handed. ”

Yao Zongwen was taken aback, looked at Han Xu and said, "Who are you, a third-grade military attachΓ©, who dare to talk about it here?" ”

Han Xu arched his hand and said calmly: "Han Xu, the training supervisor of the new Yong Battalion, Xiaguan." ”

"Is that you?" Yao Zongwen stared at Han Xu and said, "I heard that you have a lot of illegal things, but when I look at it today, you are indeed an unruly martial artist." ”

"The lower officials know how to kill the thief, but they don't know the rest." Han Xu said calmly: "If the lord knows the fact that the lower officials are illegal, the lower officials are willing to ambush and punish the national law." ”

"Okay, okay." Yao Zongwen was silent with a straight face, he felt that arguing with a martial artist would lose his official body, and he had the intention to retreat Han Xu, expecting that the other party would not pay attention to him, and it was even more impossible to take Han Xu down, he was extremely angry in his heart, and only looked at Xiong Tingbi coldly.

With Han Xu coming out to stir up such peace, Xiong Tingbi felt comforted in his heart, and said to Han Xu: "Han Dusi retreat, the court's dignity is important." ”

Only then did Han Xu take two steps back and get back on the horse.

Liu Guojin also came over at this time and looked at Han Xu with suspicious eyes.

He was very surprised by Han Xu's boldness, although Liu Guojin was admitted to the Jinshi early, and his name was still before Xiong Tingbi, but he was familiar with many high-level generals in Liaozhen, and he was the core member of the Li family in western Liaoning, so he saw a lot of generals in the army, in his impression, except for a few generals, ordinary military attaches were trembling when they saw civilian officials, and they were afraid of making trouble.

Li Bingcheng, Jiang Bi, Zhu Wanliang and other Liaozhen generals mostly went out of the city to greet them, all around Yao Zongwen and Liu Guojin, they all showed surprise on their faces, Li Pinghu and others were even more spitting fire in their eyes, looking at Han Xu, eager to immediately step forward and behead this kid.

He Shixian, Chai Guozhu and others also had different expressions, He Shixian was surprised, but also looked at Han Xu with appreciative eyes, no matter what, Han Xu's behavior like this, in the hearts of martial artists, is loyal and righteous, He Shixian felt that his face was related, this worship brother was indeed a hero.

"The southern soldiers are coming."

At this time, someone shouted again, and a large number of flags appeared on the horizon in the northeast, spears and spears were like forests, like grass turned into steel, people first appeared in small black dots, and then a team appeared in front of people's eyes, all the soldiers and swords and spears were united as a whole, in the majestic drum beat, kept coming.

"Great." Xiong Tingbi has been on the horse for a long time, and he has been watching the pergola on the horse for a long time, and finally praised: "I have heard for a long time that the southern soldiers are majestic and mighty, the troops are neat, and the troops are strict. (To be continued)
