One-two-zero, morning! Invitations to war
"Akiba, take off your clothes!" Zhang Yingxian ordered in a low voice: "Take off the dirty clothes and belly pockets on your body, if he comes, you immediately throw yourself into his arms, so that he doesn't have time to notice me......"
Akiba let out a light "um", and although she was very shy, she took it off obediently, and soon she was naked. Although she and Zhang Yingxian are both untrained little girls, they also know a basic truth, that is, a woman who strips off her clothes is more likely to attract a man's attention, if Zhu Ba lifts the curtain and comes over, the first thing he sees is the stripped autumn leaves, maybe he really can't see Zhang Yingxian.
I have to say that ancient women are really pathetic, in that case, the means of self-protection that comes to mind is to take another woman to pad her back, if Zhang Yingxian is a modern woman, she would have picked up scissors and guarded behind the grass curtain.
The hearts of the two women were about to jump out of their chests, and Qiu Ye was even ready to pounce on it, but the grass curtain was not lifted for a long time, and after a long time, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang sigh from the side of the grass curtain: "Sakura Fairy, there is something I didn't want to say, but after thinking about it for a while, this matter has something to do with you, so I decided to tell you!" ”
"What...... What's the matter? Zhang Yingxian actually didn't want to speak, afraid that she would attract attention if she spoke, but she had already been named, and she couldn't do it if she didn't say it.
"This time the officers and soldiers went into the mountain and brought an old acquaintance of ours......"
"Who?"
"Ma Qianjiu!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Guess what, what did he come for?" ”
"Uh......" Zhang Yingxian heard that Ma Qianjiu was coming, and he didn't know what his mood was for a while, after being in the mountains for a long time, he finally heard a name outside the mountain, although he was just a steward of the Ma family, not a big person, but this name still reminded Zhang Yingxian of a lot of life in the Ma family's compound.
"I think he's here to recognize someone!" Zhang Yingxian was not completely stupid, and quickly guessed correctly: "Just like last time I asked Qiu Ye to follow Yang Hong to identify Zheng Yanfu, the Ma family sent Ma Qianjiu to identify you." ”
"Well, half of the guess is right!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "If you just want to identify me, you can do it by finding a family member of the Ma family, but this time it is Ma Qianjiu, the most loyal old servant of the Ma family, can you think of why?" ”
"There are two possibilities for sending the most faithful servant, one is that things are very important, and ordinary people are not worried about doing it; The other is that there is something that you don't want outsiders to know, and the ugliness of the family is not publicized, and only loyal old servants are qualified to deal with it. "After all, Zhang Yingxian is a young lady from a rich family, and she understands this kind of thing very well, and it is clear at a glance."
"Well, since you guessed this, you might as well think about what scandals the Ma family has to deal with." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a sympathetic tone.
Speaking of this, Zhang Yingxian understood even if she was stupid, and her face turned snow-white: "Isn't it...... What do you mean...... I am the ugly family of the Ma family, Zhang Qianjiu was specially sent to deal with me? He's going to see me die! ”
"I didn't say anything, you thought it yourself!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "You may not believe what I say, this kind of thing, leave it to you to judge for yourself." ”
"No...... How is this possible? I...... I'm still a yellow flower girl with ice and jade, I ...... I didn't do anything insulting to the Ma family......" Zhang Yingxian stammered when she spoke, at this moment, she was really soft, just now, a few breaths ago, she was still racking her brains to find a way to protect her innocence, why did she become a family ugly? No, this thing is absolutely impossible, he must have thought wrongly, Ma Qianjiu's arrival must have another purpose.
"That's it, you're doing it yourself!" Zhu Yuanzhang walked away from the straw curtain, returned to his own bed, and lay down heavily, he was really tired, as soon as his body touched the bed, he immediately fell into a deep sleep, and his heavy and even breathing sounded in the room.
But Zhang Yingxian couldn't sleep......
-------------
The next day, early in the morning!
Zhu Yuanzhang got up early as usual, today's cottage is filled with a very unusual atmosphere, that is the tension before the war, the morning breeze blows from the side of the mountain, the grass shakes the leaves, in the past, you can hear the sound of the villagers getting up early to greet each other, or some chatting sounds, but now you can't hear it.
Usually Zhu Yuanzhang is the first to get up, but today there are countless people who get up earlier than him, because many people can't sleep at all, they gather at the edge of the cliff and stare at the camp of officers and soldiers under the mountain.
The soldiers also arrived at their designated defensive positions early, and before the officers and soldiers got up, they began to hold the rolling logs and stones, and gestured against the road up the mountain, but they almost threw the stones down.
The recruit who has not gone through the battle array, that's it, this is because of the surname, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't do anything about this situation! But the veterans are much better, the thirty-five soldiers of Zhu Yuanzhang's lineage, there is no such problem, they are still sleeping, they will not get up until the scheduled time to get up, they should not be nervous before the war, but should have enough rest, they have understood this truth.
Desperate Saburo also got up early, squatting on a stone on the side of the mountain, with deep sorrow in the corners of his eyes, because the scene in front of him was so familiar, just more than a year ago, on the cave cliff, he had also spent several such mornings.
Not only did the soldiers get up early, but the villagers also got up very early, and many of the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not participate in the battle gathered on a platform on the top of the mountain, lying on the edge of the cliff and looking down, they were also as nervous as the soldiers, because they were also one of the anti-thieves, if the soldiers were defeated, they might be killed immediately, or they would be captured and asked for their crimes, or they would flee for their lives from the back mountain path...... But what's the use of escaping? Without the cottage, without a place to settle down, where is it not death?
Zhang Yingxian's master and servant actually got up early, eighteen maids hugged Zhang Yingxian, and also stood on the edge of the cliff, her weak body was like a willow leaf in the wind, poignant and moving, but this willow leaf has a pair of dark circles, which is very interesting.
What is this heavy atmosphere? If this sentiment is allowed to brew, the cottage will be self-defeating, and the officers and soldiers must be forced to do it earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say loudly: "Call my military band......"
After a while, the military band called, and a group of musicians gathered around Zhu Yuanzhang with copper luo, small drums, trumpets and other musical instruments. Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Play me a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix". ”
"Zhu Bugs...... It's not appropriate to play this mouth, "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" was only played when I got married, and it was a joyful song......"
"I'm going to make a jubilant song!"
As a result, "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", full of cheerful notes, sounded on the top of the mountain, and in the gloomy and depressing atmosphere, it jumped desperately......
The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain were also awakened by the music, and some officers and soldiers began to come out of the camp and look at the top of the mountain, and some people with loud voices opened their voices and shouted to the top of the mountain: "Death? If you want to die, don't do this, just jump off the mountain, won't it be over? ”
"It's just, what kind of neurosis, the big war is coming, play this!"
"A group of stupid thieves, wait for the official, and the official will come to clean you up immediately!"
The officers and soldiers began to leave the camp while scolding, Yang Hong was also awakened, a large number of hundreds of officials ran out of the camp with him, and saw that the rogue on the top of the mountain did not rush down, but just played a song full of joy strangely, Yang Hong was really angry: "What kind of fame?" ”
"Report to the general, the rogue on the mountain is nervous......"
"You don't need to report it, didn't I see it?" Yang Hong kicked away the herald: "These fragile rabble, go to some loud voices, shout at me a few times, and tell them to come down the mountain to fight." ”
The officers and soldiers began to line up, the dark red mandarin duck battle jackets were neatly lined up, because the Liukou did not go down the mountain, the officers and soldiers just formed a military formation, but did not raise their weapons, so the shields and spears were not raised, and the momentum was not very strong.
A row of soldiers with loud voices came out of the military formation, stood in a row at the foot of the mountain, and shouted at the mountain: "The rogue on the mountain, there is a kind of coming down the mountain to play right with the military masters!" ”
"Don't cower on the mountain, hurry up, come down and fight!"
"Master Jun is waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain!"
"It's not going to be a bunch of old ladies on the mountain, is it? It's the guys who come down! ”
The shouting blew to the top of the mountain and fell into the ears of everyone.
Anyway, there is still this kind of shouting in front of the two armies? Some friends may not understand, people who are used to watching modern war movies will definitely not be able to understand this kind of shouting in front of the army in ancient times, in fact, this has a term in the history books, called "invitation to war!" ”
Ancient people fought wars, because there were no missiles or long-range weapons, it was very difficult to attack the city, and it was difficult for both sides to capture the other's city. Simple, write a letter to the leader of the other party, and agree that at a certain time in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, we will lead a large army to fight to the death on a flat grass, do you dare to come?
This is the origin of the "invitation to war", and later developed, it became a unique scenery in the war, there will always be some soldiers in the army with loud voices, in front of the battle as "scolding hands", before the battle, 500 "scolding hands" lined up, insulting and insulting the opponent's city or stronghold, trying their best to provoke things, in order to lure the enemy out of the stronghold.
Is such a ** tactic really useful? Don't say it, it's really useful, since ancient times, there are countless people who have been scolded and rushed out of the city to die, and they can't be counted on ten fingers at all.
Sure enough, the scolding of the officers and soldiers sounded, and the first one to be excited was Wang Er, who jumped up on the ground and said angrily: "! Dare to scold Lao Tzu for being a? Lao Tzu will kill them down the mountain and beat them to pieces. ”
