Chapter 7: Fighting the Army on a Rainy Night
Liang Bao became the lieutenant's personal guard, and he didn't understand what his position and title were, and he didn't care about these, he knew that when Mr. could use him, he would open his mouth to command; It's just that the way everyone looks at him and talks to him, there is a lot of respect in their expressions, which makes him panic.
Xu Ruyu asked him to go to the Yunxi School Yard with Xing Kunmin and Ning Yueshan to organize the reserve camp, he didn't know what he could help, he didn't know much about military affairs, he just thought: Brother Xing was present, and he couldn't be wrong to listen to him.
Sleeves changed into men's clothes and followed behind them. Yi Zhouwu's cultivation is so high that he can't imagine it, so he naturally doesn't know how great it is for Xu Ru to assassinate Yi Zhouwu. Xu Ruyu's cultivation is also unthinkable to her. Liang Bao had only learned martial arts from him for a few months, and he was no longer his opponent. Although Liang Bao explained that he had practiced Xiquan since he was a child, he was obviously not enough to play by himself for a few months, which made her depressed.
When Liang Bao came to the school with everyone, he gasped.
Four thousand soldiers scattered on the 500-step square colonel field, scattered, the regiment sitting, reclining, the armor is open, obliquely draped over the body, and even more fearless of the spring cold chest and breasts, the soldiers leave their hands, discarded everywhere, pedestrians kick the cold blade at will, the evil author holds a weapon to chop the blade on the ground for fun, more than a dozen people set up gambling around the ground, dozens of people set up a fence, the city vendors set up their stalls on the edge of the school field, shouting and selling, the whole west school field is boiling back to the sky, like a big bazaar like a pot of porridge.
Kun Xingmin's face was pale, and only then did he understand what Xu Ruyu meant by asking him to make a little rectification, he looked at Liang Bao and said, "Brother Liang, what do you think?" ”
Liang Bao was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he said cautiously: "I'm afraid that only when Mr. comes over can he stop them." ”
Xing Kunmin knew that what he said was true, and thought: The various forces are clearly embarrassed by this sudden rise of the captain, and the rest of the Su gang has been incorporated into the camp army by Chen Zifang, and there is no manpower to rely on, presumably General Qingfeng will have a headache no matter how famous he is.
Xing Kunmin is known to be capable, and he doesn't want to do nothing, so Xu Ruyu looks down on him, and said to Ding Zheng: "You quickly lead someone to register the soldiers in the field, and compare it with the list sent by each family. ”
said to Ning Yueshan: "You quickly borrow a sentry from Jiang Ye to come over, disperse the gambling and set up the fighters, and drive the irrelevant people away from the school." ”
said to Liang Bao: "You lead people to quickly gather the armor and blades that are discarded everywhere. ”
When Xu Ruyu rushed from the Beicheng patrol to the Xicheng school field, the sunset was hanging on the eaves of the West Gate Tower, in a red sunset, it looked empty and clear, not very dazzling, the sky blue when the sky was clear, pure, and made people forget their worries.
Fu Yichen drifted away, like a slush claw, without a trace, the style of the grandmaster who sought the way and escaped, as if it was like this pure blue, so deep, clear, and pregnant with the avenue of Zesheng, but it was so quiet, he could only envy in vain, and he was powerless to pursue.
went to Yizhou to assassinate Yi Zhouwu, for Xu Ruyu, the pleasure of begging for death was even more than pity for Li Shu who was suffering from war in the East China Sea. But Yi Zhou's martial arts dispersion gong caused a heavenly omen and touched his Dao heart.
Fu Yichen personally came to Yongyang to deduce the meaning of "Dao Zesheng" for him, help him break through his heart barriers, and help him sprout his Taoist heart.
Xu Ruyu followed his father Xu Xing since he was a child to learn the art of the world, and the art of the world was pregnant with the way of "for him", imperceptibly, Xu Ruyu was born with mercy and treated people leniently, but Xu Xing is not a family, he is alone, and does not seek to be a doom to the world, and it is the embodiment of the way of "for himself", Xu Ruyu can not be unaffected, forming his free and open-minded surname, Xu Xing died under the city of Bayang, Wu Chu rescued Ru Yu under Yihan Wenge, passed on his hegemony technique, Wu Chu has been killing for many years, and the empty way of hatred is also passed on to Ru Yu.
At this time, Xu Ru's foolish heart was confused and he didn't know how to deal with himself. Fortunately, he only needs to stay in the young Li flower boat that has no quarrel with the world. However, from the moment Wangjiang City set foot in the world, the conflict between the two thoughts in his heart could no longer be concealed. Although Xu Xing had a profound influence on him, Xu Xing also had contradictions in the world, and what he knew about thaumaturgy was the way to enter the WTO "for him", Xu Xing avoided the world and protected himself, and he practiced the way of "for himself", and asked you to forget his hatred under the city of Bayang, which was the way of "destroying himself". Xu Xing has insight into the world, understands human feelings, and naturally knows the reason to let go, so he is born with a peaceful surname, and he is at peace with his encounters, he needs to pick it up, and he needs to put it down, and then he has no attachment, so he became a great Confucian, ranking first among the "six handsome" (this book does not want to involve Confucianism, Taoism and Buddha, so it is used to destroy himself, to be himself, and to replace him with it).
Xu Ruyu is young and does not do anything, although he is far more and more intelligent, and the art of the world is inherited by Xu Xing and Wu Chu, but Puyu has not been pondered, how to straighten out the Tao in his heart. Just like ordinary people, when they were seventeen or eighteen years old, they were most confused about this world, and they all hoped to understand the Tao ideals of this world.
Xu Ruyu broke up with Chen Ang in Xinfeng, and met Jiang Youli and Huo Qingwei in Yongyang Jianggang, but in fact, he had been forced into a corner that could not be retreated.
For the sake of forty years of fate, Fu Yichen was invited by Chen Ang to go to Yongyang to break his heart barrier.
Xu Ruyu was not able to be relieved, but because of his lack of experience, his heart was obsessed, so he took the position of captain of Yongyang.
The queue of 4,000 soldiers on the school field was invisible, standing without a posture, biting their ears and laughing, and the flag fell down, if it was really the situation he expected, Xu Ruyu looked at Jiang Lingtian behind him and whispered: "It's really troublesome, Ling Tian doesn't have to rest this night, stay here with me." ”
At this time, Mei Tierui led a team of elite horsemen to gallop over.
Xu Ruyu thought to himself: The Mei family is really fast, and they are busy with Jiang Lingtian. Mei Tierui saw Xu Ruyu and others coming, and hurriedly ordered everyone behind her to dismount.
Xu Ruyu said: "Mei Lao is also here, let's take a look at the reserve camp led by Ruyu himself." ”
Mei Tierui had heard about the tragic situation in the West School at noon, and she had the heart to help him, but the prestige of the Mei family was no longer there. Now seeing that Xu Ru was stupid and calm, and he didn't seem to be bothered by the messy military appearance at all, he was stunned, and thought: Could it be that he has already made up his mind.
Mei Tierui arched his hand and said: "Yesterday, the commander ordered the formation of the Jingwei battalion, and the Mei clan did not dare to slack off, and the two hundred people behind him, the captain was still satisfied with it?" ”
It is related to the revitalization plan of the Mei family, Xu Ruyu is not afraid that Mei Tierui will act sloppily, and said: "The Jingwei battalion will set up the battalion captain one, the left lieutenant three, the sentry lieutenant nine, and the soldier thirty-six. ”
Although the Jingwei battalion general Zuo Duo is a vain, it is an unexpected joy to set up an extra battalion lieutenant for the Mei family.
Although Mei Tierui knew that Xu Ruyu wanted to use the Mei family to establish a foundation in Yongyang, this matter would be of great benefit to the revitalization of the Mei family, so why didn't she want to.
Mei Tierui called: "Shen Binglu, come out to see Lord Duwei." ”
Shen Bing is obviously a child of the Mei clan, Mei Tierui is to avoid suspicion, so he recommended him to come out, Xu Ruyu smiled, secretly feeling that Mei Tierui is really an old fox, since Jingwei all chose the people of the Mei clan, of course I don't care whether the Jingwei battalion captain is surnamed Mei or not, but you first choose a side child to come out and let me veto it, and then recommend you to the direct son of the Mei family, I really want to do it without showing a trace.
Shen Bing was wearing half-body chain armor, carrying two guns, and his posture was great, slightly taller than Jiang Lingtian, and half a head taller than Xu Ruyu. Xu Ruyu saw him standing in front of him, invisibly coercing and coercing, his eyes were as sharp as lightning in his hair, knowing that he couldn't look at himself, he looked at Mei Tierui, who was a little nervous, and said, "It's really a rare master." Then he said indifferently: "But he is not a battalion captain, and Mei Lao recommends others." Ignoring Shen Binglu's thick eyebrows, he looked at the more than 200 people crowded together, and said loudly: "If you have a conceited talent, you can come forward and recommend yourself." ”
In the blink of an eye, I saw a pair of very familiar eyes. The past is full of twists and turns, and Xu Ruyu has recalled that the pair of light veils revealed beautiful eyes that were like bright stars and radiant colors.
Mei Tierui followed Xu Ruyu's stunned gaze, and was shocked, and the blood on her face seemed to be drained by this look, leaving only a bleak paleness. He bowed his head in fear and said, "The little girl is stubborn, and the villain really doesn't know that she has blended into the crowd." ”
Xu Ru's foolish look in his eyes was uncertain, but he didn't know how credible Mei Xinrui's words were.
The strangely beautiful-eyed man lined up everyone, stood proudly in front of Xu Ruyu, and said in a cold voice: "I secretly changed people, just to see what the person who only knew about deceit and escaped a few months ago looks like now, and is actually qualified to be the lord of Yongyang?" ”
Jiang Lingtian was confused when he got up, and he didn't know what had happened, but at this time, he saw a young man with a sallow face and a thin body walking out, and when he looked at it, he saw that her eyes were deep and subtle, giving people a mysterious and charming feeling, and he realized that a peerless hand who was not weak was hiding in the Jingwei chosen by the Mei family, and this person was dressed as the daughter of Mei Tierui.
Jiang Lingtian moved in front of Xu Ruyu and looked at the person with a fierce gaze.
Mei Tierui didn't dare to make a slight move, for fear of causing Xu Ruyu's deeper misunderstanding and triggering his murderous intentions. Although Xu Ruyu said that he had no foundation, he had more than 10,000 forces behind him, and the Wanling Chen clan was not something that the current Mei family dared to offend. What's more, the hope of the Mei clan's revival depends on him.
Xu Ruyu patted Jiang Lingtian and said with a smile: "I'm not weaker than you, don't be so nervous?" ”
Jiang Lingtian whispered: "If something happens to you, Yongyang City will be broken immediately, this girl feels very weird, and it is better to be careful." Having said that, he retreated behind him, showing that he believed in Xu Ruyu's judgment very much.
Xu Ruyu said: "When Yongyang City is broken, the Mei family will be wiped out, and Mei Lao will not think of this, it should be a small accident." ”
Mei Tierui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Xu Ruyu say this, Fang Jue felt that the light cold invaded her body, and she was in a cold sweat, and roared in a low voice: "Yingxue, don't give a salute to Lord Duwei." ”
Xu Ruyu hurriedly helped Mei Tierui, who was on the ground, and when she saw Mei Yingxue bowing, she looked very weird, and said with a smile: "Seeing Yingxue girl twice, it scared me into a cold sweat. ”
Mei Yingxue said: "I'm dressed like this, how can you see it?" ”
"Your eyes impress me too much, and they are too far from your sallow complexion, so I am shocked at a glance that if you pretend to be an elegant scholar, you will not be easily recognized among everyone."
"How did you get into Jingwei by pretending to be a scholar, I shouldn't have seen you at that time."
Xu Ruyu smiled, knowing that she was right, if she hadn't looked at herself with contempt in her eyes, and let herself pay attention a little, it would be difficult to find out from more than 200 people.
Mei Tierui heard the conversation between the two and asked, "Lord Du Wei and the little girl know each other?" ”
Xu Ruyu said: "When I first arrived in Wanling, I almost lost my life in the hands of Yingxue girl, so I was scared out of a cold sweat by her twice. Why, Yingxue girl didn't mention it to Mei Lao? ”
Mei Yingxue assassinated Xu Ruyu in Wanling, and was deceived by him to get out, Mei Yingxue was humiliated, how could she talk about it with others.
Mei Tierui heard that Mei Yingxue and Xu Ruyu had a gap, and she apologized in fear.
Xu Ruyu said: "Mei Lao Ke still holds a grudge against the Xiaoyang River for being attacked by Ruyu? Seeing Mei Tierui stunned, he smiled and said, "Before the assassination, you and I were two hostile sides. Now that you ignore the Mei family as your own clan, how can you remember the past? ”
Mei Tierui said in a panic and said: "The little girl Yicheng traveled the world, but she didn't ask about the Mei family. The things of Wanling in the past, and even the things that are said now, are all done by the little girl's stubborn surname, and Tie Rui should be severely reprimanded. ”
Seeing that her attainments are faintly above her father, the Mei family should not be able to train such a young master, so it turned out to be a teacher from other places. Xu Ruyu shook a few names in his heart, but it was inconvenient to ask, looked at Jiang Lingtian, saw him shaking his head slightly, and knew that he couldn't be sure.
Mei Tierui scolded Mei Yingxue and told her to return to Mei's house quickly.
Mei Yingxue looked at Xu Ruyu and said, "Am I qualified to be your Jingwei?" ”
Xu Ruyu had a headache, looked at Mei Tierui, and then looked at Jiang Lingtian. Mei Tierui originally hoped that Mei Yingxue would stay by Xu Ruyu's side, and she had a deep meaning, so of course she would not obstruct it. Jiang Lingtian saw that Mei Yingxue had no malicious intentions, and was happy to trouble Xu Ruyu a little, and turned a blind eye to Xu Ruyu's eyes asking for help.
Xu Ruyu's scalp was numb, and he said, "There is Miss Lao Yingxue." ”
At this time, a cold wind suddenly blows, the cloud curtain closes the sky, and the sky is dark. Xing Kunmin made people set up a loose fire, looked at the sky and clouds, and saw that the heavy rain was coming, so they hurriedly went to Kuli to light the wind and rain lamp.
Mei Tierui elected Mei Liting as the captain of the Jingwei Battalion, Xu Ruyu saw that he was calm and relaxed, knew that he was a wise and brave man, nodded and agreed, and agreed to the three candidates for the left lieutenant selected by Mei Tierui.
Xu Ruyu smiled: "Mei Lao has a unique vision, first suppresses and then raises, and teaches you to know the way to know the general." ”
Mei Tierui knew that Xu Ruyu had broken his scheming, but he was warning himself, and hurriedly said: "Tierui didn't dare to let others be selfish, and he missed the captain's big thing." ”
Xu Ruyu selected eight good players from more than 200 to form a personal guard with Mei Yingxue, and Shen curling was also among them.
Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, the 4,000 sergeants of the reserve battalion clamored for disbandment and return to the camp, and several people were pushing and shoving to leave the queue.
Xu Ruyu said in a loud voice: "Listen to Commander Mei, if you don't follow the order, you will be killed if you withdraw from the school." ”
"If you don't follow the order, you will be killed if you remove the school grounds." Mei Liting raised his voice to repeat the military order, and transported the Danxi, the voice echoed above the school field, and the ear drums were deaf.
Mei Liting and the three Jingwei Zuo Lieutenants each guarded the four exits of the school yard with fifty people.
Xu Ruyu led everyone to the general platform, looked at the stunned sergeants below, and said solemnly: "If the military discipline is not solemn and the military shape is not in order, how can you defeat the enemy and win?" Chen Zifang proclaimed our military discipline. ”
Chen Zifang's loud voice like a grand bell sounded, straight through the ears of everyone in the school: "Re-announce the military order of the Governor's Mansion: those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" The one who cowers in battle is slashed! Rescue the ineffective slash! Kill the good people! Whoever destroys the women of the people is killed! Those who do not come to the expiration date will be killed! Those who rob the people's wealth are killed! ”
The noisy school field was silent, and the four thousand sergeants looked at the more than ten people on the general platform in horror, only to see that the eyes of the person among them were bright, and the light in the dark night was solemn, like a pair of stars, twinkling there. The man didn't make a sound, just looked at the audience, and everyone had a terrible feeling that he was looking at him.
The school field fell into a dead silence, the rain began to fall, and after a while, the heavy rain poured down, and the wind and rain lamps on the platform could not stop such a heavy rain were extinguished together, and the white expanse was seen by the eyes, only a few wind lamps in the side shed were fluttering, emitting a faint light. There was such a heavy rain in early spring, and it was really a change of weather.
The sergeants in the audience were already in a panic, and scattered to the shed at the edge of the school field to take shelter from the rain, and the audience was suddenly empty, leaving only eight elite guards to guard the four corners of the platform.
All the generals thought: The effect just now was in vain, and all the overflow was out of the pill, forcing the heavy rain out of the body, and the sleeves were about to step down to avoid the rain, but they looked at Xu Ruyu but were stunned.
Xu Ruyu stood in front of everyone, letting the heavy rain pour, his hair was scattered, wet to his head, his robe was wet, and the white waterlines on the cuffs and corners kept flowing down, but he stood resolutely in the pouring rain, like a desolate ancient tree, trying to block the rain together.
Zhang Zhongdao also held back Dan Xi and let the heavy rain pour through his majestic body.
Liang Bao, Xing Kunmin, Mei Tierui, Chen Zifang, etc. also discovered Xu Ruyu's abnormality, restrained their breath, and let the heavy rain pour through their majestic body.
Xingkun Minzhi made people ignite the extinguished wind and rain lanterns, so that the Jingwei guards carefully protected them with Danxi, and did not let the heavy rain extinguish them, and reflected the high platform as bright as the bright day with more than ten steps square.
The sergeant who was sheltering from the rain in the shanty next to the school field saw the situation on the platform at this time, and saw more than ten people on the platform who were poured into water chickens by the pouring rain.
More than ten people at the top level of Yongyang Mansion stood in the heavenly water like this, quietly letting everyone watch, and quietly watching everyone. The audience was full of soldiers and flags discarded by the sergeants when they took shelter from the rain, which was a mess and shocking.
The four thousand sergeants froze, the man who stood in the wind and rain like a desolate giant tree, his star-like eyes were so clear, and the more than ten wind and rain lanterns as bright as the moon could not hide his dark and deep light. Through the white rain curtain, everyone looked strangely at the endless desolation in his eyes, and saw his humble self.
Gradually, some people braved the rain to walk into the field, picked up soldiers, and erected flags.
More people walked into the field watered by the heavy rain, standing in front of the high platform.
More people... lined up and washed away with Xu Ruyu in a hurry.
Xu Ru's passionate voice is like Zhong Lu Xi's sound in everyone's ears:
"Who has no wife and children, parents, relatives and friends in the city, but a moisturizing rain, you forget the millions of Li Shu behind you, forget the old father and mother, forget the wife and weak children, and retreat to the shed together?"
Orr was stern and miserable: "If you are in the city, will you let your old fathers and mothers, wives and weak children come to resist the rain of bullets and arrows of the Puji bandits for you?" ”
"I don't want sergeants like you, let each one disperse."
The generals were shocked, only to see Xu Ruyu close his eyes and turn around, unwilling to look at the four thousand sergeants under the stage.
Xing Kunmin was in front of the stage, and when he saw this scene, he turned over and knelt down, shouting: "I am willing to follow the captain and protect me Yongyang." ”
Four thousand soldiers knelt in the mud and shouted: "May you comfort me and protect me." ”
"I am willing to follow the captain and protect me Yongyang."
"I am willing to follow the captain and protect me Yongyang."
The majestic shout passed through the heavy rain curtain, and swirled in the air above Yongyang, without stopping.
Xu Ruyu turned around, looked at the four thousand soldiers kneeling in the mud shower under the stage, and said loudly: "Those who sacrificed their lives for me, your parents, I regard them as parents; Your wife and children are my sisters, sons and nephews; For those who are crippled for my glory, I regard you as a brother, and I will support my parents, wife and children with you; For me, Yongyang, the one who bravely kills the enemy, Yongyang fertile soil, give you life. ”
The audience shouted again: "Yongyang fertile soil, give me life." ”
Xu Ruyu said secretly: Morale is available. He said in a deep voice: "Yongyang Mansion Shoumei Tierui listens to the order, and Shen Deqian, the secretary of the Duwei Mansion, remembers: Yongyang Mansion Yasan said that there are 4,000 first-class houses in the family and the reserve camp. ”
Shen Deqian announced in a loud voice: "The Yongyang Mansion is said to have 4,000 first-class houses in the family and the first class, and the families of the reserve camp will be resettled. ”
Mei Tierui bowed her head and raised her head: "Yongyang Mansion guards Mei Tierui's order." In addition, the Yongyang Mei people are willing to donate 50 houses for a total of 1,000 houses to house the military families of the reserve battalion. ”
Jiang Lingtian secretly scolded: This old fox is really witty and interesting, and he came to the reserve camp to buy people's hearts. looked at Xu Ruyu, saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected this to be the case, and thought: Ruyu has long seen through that these 4,000 soldiers are displaced people who have been forcibly conscripted into the army recently, and they are allowed to share the land and make heavy promises, boost morale, requisition houses to settle military families, and stabilize the morale of the army.
Mei Tierui got up and stood to Xu Ruyu's side, and said secretly: This son is definitely not something that the realm of Yongyang Mansion can bear, the ancients said: Strange goods can live, if he is interested in the world, the Mei clan follows him, which is the right way.
The generals and heads of the families who were not on duty rushed to the Xicheng campus when they heard the sound, and saw the four thousand soldiers who were like the chaotic army, standing in the heavy rain with their heads covered in order, and the morale was strong, which was rare in the Yongyang army, and they believed in the prestige of General Xu Ruyu Qingfeng. They raised their voices to donate their houses, and of these 4,000 houses, there were 3,000 on the spot.
